put Just as sure as there is smallpox
or seven year itch or some other con-
tagIous disease rampant, that angel
child comes to spend few days with
her beloved grandmother, and she
catches everything there is going.
"She hadn't been here two days be-
fore she was down sick. She had
more measles than I ever saw In one
collection before, and her face was a
sight to be seen. I was inclined to
murmur and repine, for ! was just
done with my housecleaning and was
SO tired felt as, though I'd Ike to lie
down and sleep for six months, and
there was with sick child In the
house, and was to be up night and
day seeing that she didn't catch cold,
for IL child catches cold when she
has that disease, some Of the measles
are sure to strike in, and then she
goes blind or loses her hearing or be-
comes an idiot.
81 was complaining to Mr.. Curfew,
and saying harsh, bitter things, when
a boy came to the door with q tele-
gram. 1t was from Cousin Susan, and
she said she was coming on the night
train with her three children to spend
a week with me. She invites herself
that way about once year, and al
ways dread her coming, for her chill
dren are holy terrors, and there Is no
peace where they are.
II never had good excuse for head.
ing Cousin Susan off before, and she
had become a nightmare to me. But
on that occasion had an excuse all
ready made. I sent back telegram
saying that my granddaughter was in
the house with an aggravated attack
of measles, and the house was quar-
antIned, and a policeman with a
sawcd-off shotgun was guarding the
approaches to the house. OF course l
didn't use exactly those words, but
that was the meaning of my dispatch,
and Cousin Susan had to take her Off
spring and unload them on her Aunt
Maria, who had never suffered a Wis
itation of that sort before.
"This shows that diseases have
their use, and even few measles in
the house are a wellspring Of pleas
ure, when we regard them properly
with determination to realize our
blessings. So l have no use for any
book that shows how to abolish dis
eases, and now must disperse, for
have a hundred things to do.

Our hat is off to the Medina Jersey
Cattle club for the work it is doing to
make Medina county noted for its
Jerseys. Our Jersey friends are not
only interested in putting out pro-
duct of high quality, but pure pro-
duct also. AS an organization it is
promoting tuberculin testing among
it's members. This is not necessarily
a selfish motive on the part of the
members, but is for the good of the
consuming public, that they may have
a pure product. 1t has been repeat
edly demonstrated that milk from 4
herd contaminated with tuberculosis
is easily transmitted to children. 1t
is high time, in our opinion, that we
should cooperate with >our Jersey
friends and farm organizations pro.
noting this commendable work ,and
assist them in demanding pure pro
duct or milk from tuberculin free ami.

AT GREENBURY POINT, near
"A Annapolis, Maryland, is located
the great, high-pOwer radio station,
owned and operated by Uncle Sam.
Built as a war measure, for the in
surance of uninterrupted communica-
tion with our army In France, in the
event that for any reason the cables
were put out Of commission, as well
as to provide added facilities for keep
ing In touch with and directing the

-Four gigantic, steel towers 900 feet
high, set $50 feet apart and in he
form Of square, support the massive
web Of super-sensitlve wires from
which outgoing electric waves "hop
off, into space and to which the in
coming waves from afar are attracted.
The energy by which the station
is operated is obtained from a nearby
power plant--a suitable operating
building, p6wer-transformer house,
quarters for the maintaining and op-
Grating forces, store house fer repair
materials and other necessary equip
ment having been erected at an ad-
vantageous and adjacent location.
The far-reaching Importance OF. this
miracle-like station which performs

to one when he understands that ii

FEDERAL DIARRHOEA

Judging by the copiousness Of his
financial expenditures, one might al
most believe that our Uncle Samuel
is suffering from chronic dysentery.
News dispatches say the sum Of $19,-
O00,O0O,0O0 will be needed to pay
running expenses during the next
thirty months. Using as yard
stick the eight-hour work day, this
vast expense means $4,000 per min
ute. At fifty cents per bushel the
farmer must grow $4,000 bushels of
corn to keep Uncle Sans big mach
inc running sixty seconds. Ninety
two cents out of every dollar of this
money goes to pay the expense Of
wars past and wars expected. This
expense, if used on public highways,
would build two miles of road cost
ing $4,000 per mile. Sherman was
right ...

silly talk, but yours is the worst yet.
You can't convince me that the day
will ever come when a man with the

gressmen and justices of the peace
and. other dignitaries without number.

When President Wilson asked Con-
gress to limit the price of wheat at
2.26 a bushel, Senator Warren G.
Harding declared the limit too high,
saying farmers were buying land at
$3.50 an acre on which to raise wheat
at 81 bushel. Just now with the
great wheat crop coming on and the
price likely to be in the neighbor-
hood of 81 or less, we rather think
that the farmers would like to sell
their wheat at the limit fixed by Will
son, rather than at the Harding price
of 81.

Mr.. Trustee, is your township get

When auto owners apply for license
tags, they write the name of post
Office but not the name of the taxing
district or township in which they

blanks so that the auto owner can

fees go to the right place.

GRIT SUPPLY IS ESSENTIAL
Material Takes Place of Teeth in Pre-
pairing Fowls Food for Fur
Their Digestion.

Grit is essential to the health Of
fowls and to economy in feeding. Grit
takes the place of teeth in preparing
the feed for further digestion and is
required for the proper preparation
Of feed In the gizzard. When the feed
is not properly taken care of in this
organ, an undue strain Is thrown on
the fowls system, often resulting In
disease and also allowing much of the
nutriment to pass through the birds
body without being absorbed. In
every pen or yard a box of grit should
be kept. Recent investigators have
asserted that grit is a part of the
necessary feed Of a flock, giving the
fowls strong bones and q bright plum
age.
Ordinarily, the hen does not con
sumo enough lime to form the shells
Of eggs, If she Is laying abundantly
unless something besides, the ordinary
grain feeds is accessible. to her. Oy
ster shells are very good for this pur
pose. A box of crushed, shells may b.
placed before the fowls, allowing then
to eat at will. Old mortar and in'
gravel are also useful in supplying
lime, say poultry specialists Of thu

ture.
