the war, from 1915 to 1918, there
was . morbidity rate Of from 80
down to 8 to the 100000, with a
death rate averaging 3. In our Civil
War, 1861 to 1865, the death rate
from typhoid was 1856 to the 100,-
600. Perhaps, however, instead Of
going back fifty years for compari-
son, 1t will be most profitable to seek
one that is contemporaneous. From
1915 to 1913 our army death rate
from typhoid was only 8 to the 10o,-
900. At the same time the death
rate from the same disease among
the civilian male population was
from ii to II to the 100000, or from
nearly four to nearly six times as
high. In the army incubation was
prsctised. Among civilians it was
not, save to comparatively small
extent.
1t was incubation rather than
general sanitation that saved the
army from typhoid, for sanitation
among civilians was more efficient
than among the soldiers. Moreover,
the army was composed Of young
mon of tho age most susceptible to
typhoid, while large percentage of
the civilians were substantially i'm.
mune through age.

pistols only.

the infantry and is not suitable for
emergency work. Commissioned and

Milknlen Of 1883
An Incident Of the Great Blizzard in
a Connecticut Town

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In the year of the great blizzard,
1888, my home was in central Con-
necticut. The storm began gently on
Sunday afternoon, now and then flake.
Monday morning the snow fell fiercely,
but the milk was brought to our doors
as usual. from a dairy farm possibly
three or four miles out of town. Dur.
ing the day the storm waxed furious
and at about 3 o'clock the towa
officials sent teams to collect the school
children and see that they reached
home safely. At evening the business
men had an almost impossible task in
fighting their way to homes not half q
mile from the center. Some were 50
bewildered as to be forced to enter
nearby houses to find themselves. Many
realized for the first time how one
might easily become lost in a blizzard,
with no building looming ever 50
family on either hand to guide. Early
in the day provident mothers hid Ms
babies milk and warned the family
hands off!
Tuesday morning brought quiesencs,

Armi.tice Day, 1921

Inree years nave passed since the
first Armistice Day, when men and
women, with shining faces, shouted
that the war was over and every
where was to be happiness and the
glorics of new and better era.
But, alas, thousands have since ex-
perienced bitter contrast. Were
there an instrument to measure hu-
man comfort its level would probably
not be as high now as in the months
prior to November, 1918. The men in
the trenches might be under strains
that stretched human endurance to
breaking, but elsewhere, except in
limited areas, wages were high, en-
ployment was easy to get and ra-
tions, save for few things, were
regular if not abundant.
Why has peace disappointed? On
this Armistice Day it is fit to con-
slider the answer that seemingly
must be given. 1t is that in the war
time men and women worked harder
and with more eager cooperation.
Though thousands were drawn from
productive industry those who re-
manned at civilian work so speeded
up that there was more to divide.
A new impulse to do brought in its
harvest.
When the sound Of cannon ceased
the interest Of all required, as there
had been haste to get at the busi-
ness of war, so there should be
haste in returning to the business
OF peace. But it was not done.
Every political, economic and social
quack became vocal and the peoples
listened-some more than others
but all to an injurious degree. The
doctrine was preached in countless
ways that the millennium had ar
rived and that if justice were done
mankind would sweep into work
less paradise.
Heavy has been the cost Of this
radicalism-probably exceeding the
total Of the direct war bill. There
are no statistics; if there were it
would doubtless appear that more
days have been lost to productive
industry by strikes and profitless
wrangling over the division of the
fruits of industry than were lost
through Withdrawals due to con-
scription. At the peak this country
had 100000 in uniform, whereas
it was officially estimated that last
summer no less than 5000, 900 were
out Of work.
The delusion still persists that
there may be profit in fostering a
spirit which forbids loyal co-opera-
ton among elements that must work
together if there is to be plenty.
Armistice Day may we'll be devoted
by each Of us to thought of this.
Mankind is not, Of course, automat-
ically guided by enlightened self
interest. 1t tends to folly as the
sparks fly upward. But perception
of this lamentable truth is no rea-
son for ceasing to labor for more in
telligence. AS a first step there
there should be a turning away from
the medicine men and voodoo danc-
ers whose influence has been so evil.
An enlargement of production is
the only road to better days, for the
spiritual state of the world is such
that men are diseased in mind when
disconnected in body; and the only
big way to enlarged production ie
through competent industrial leader
ship becoming linked with willing
workers. Can't the world see what
is the prime source Of its troubles
and dissatisfaction?

BE SURE OF YOUR SEED

/ This is the time to make arrange
ments for seed for the coming year.
The wise farmer does not wait until
he is ready for seed and then get it
and plant it before he has a chance
to make sure that it is pure, will ger
inmate, and is free from seeds Of nox-
ious weeds. Last year number OF
Latah county farmers bought seed
from eastern companies and unscrup-
ulous dealers. At the present time
the Farm Bureau is helping some of
these farmers get adjustments.
In buying seeds of such crops as
Grimm alfalfa, care should be taken
to get state certified seed, as Grimm
alfalfa seed looks like that of common
alfalfa Inscriptions dealers may
sell seed that is not Grimm at all,
or seed that has a heavy blend of
common alfalfa mixed with Grimm.
We have a seed company price list
in the farm bureau office in which a
common variety of field peas is listed
under two names. Where listed I'm
der the common name the price is
quoted as &c per pound. Under the
less commonly used name, the seed
is listed at 10c per pound.
Be sure of your dealer, and get
your seed in time to have 1t tested
for termination and purity. Send
for testing to the farm bureau
office, Moscow, or to Branch Seed
Moscow, Idaho. The test
IS free to farmers.

reported to have deprecated in value
almost 100 per cent.
1t was the fond belief of home brew
makers some time ago that if they
tried their productions on the guinea

scientific tests and according to their
reasoning if the sensitive animal sur
vived their brew it was ripe for hu-
man consumption. If the pig died, it
was in good cause, and the brewers
tried again to make a liquor fit to
drink by man and beast.

riety is more rodent than pig and
have been found to value their lives
above the convivial compensations of
liquor samplers. Those who have
tried their brews on the guinea pigs
have found that no amount Of coaxing
can bring the sagacious rodents to the
flowing bowl of kitchen-made drugs.
They submit to the administration of
strange drugs and serums in the in
terest of science but anything alco-
holic is abhorrant to them.
Thousands of purchases were made
when it was reported that guinea
pigs could test the margin of safety
IN unsampled contraband connections.
Now they are a drug on the market,
ready to be doled out to hospitals and
scientists for use in routine expert
ments.

IDAHO MARKSMEN ARE
BEATEN BY PULLMAN
LOCALS HANDICAPPED BY COLD
GALLERY-COYLE, IDAHO, HAS
HIGH SCORE.

Shooting under considerable
handicap, due to the extreme GOODNESS
of the gallery in Lewis court, the
Idaho r. o. T. G. rifle team was
beaten by about two hundred point
margin in her craftsmanship contest
with Washington State College last
Saturday afternoon. An Idaho man,
however, in the person Of F. S. Coyle,
secured the highest score of any mem
Der of either team, and thus carried
individual honors for Idaho.
| The total score of the Idaho ten
was 1854 points. The Pullman boys
made a score of 1868, and thus estab-
lished themselves as victors, but the
165 points scored by Coyle of Idaho
stand far above the mark of his near
est W. S. C. competitor.
The Idaho boys shot under a con-
siderable handicap. Lewis court is
utterly unheated, and chilled hands
and bodies seemed to materially in
jure the accuracy of the local marks
men. Several times Idaho boys were
obliged to warm themselves in the
gymnasium in order to continue.
The shooting of the Pullman boys was
done at home, and the records were
sent here The Pullman marksmen
shoot in well heated gallery, and
were thus given a considerable adj
vantage.
The scores made by the Idaho men
were as follws Honess, las; Coyle,
1865; Gahan, 1875; Hale, 1879; Harlem
sen, 1913; Thomson, 1856; Rodner, 1928; |
Cord, 10; Russell, 1877; LAWSON, 116. |
The shooting was done at a SO foot
range, and a Connolly target was used. |
An Idaho team will also compete in
the Corps Area contest to be held |,
next Wednesday and Thursday. The
personnel of this team has not yet def
nitely been decided. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that in event of good weather,
Idaho can win better position in

CONTROL OF RATS
Barium Carbonate Poisonous to Rats
and Makes Satisfactory Bait.

A study of barium carbonate as a
rat poison, made by the United States
Department of Agriculture, indicates
that a 20 per cent mixture with food
makes a satisfactory bait. With this
percentage rat ordinarily needs to
eat only one-third or three -eighths of
a meal of average size to get fatal
dose. 1t was found that with this
dose many of the rats poisoned died
within "a hours, though an occasional
rat was found which survived an even
larger amount, thus indicating that
100 per cent mortality is not to be
expected in any case.
A summary of results of expert
ments conducted by various persons
with view to determining the dead
Illness of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy of the assumption
that barium is poisonous only to rats.
