HONORING GENERAL GORGAS
BY Frederic j.. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Memorials always
have been erected in honor of the great men
and women of the world, and there probably
always will be such memorials, but there have
been few TO date which have been useful as
we'll as ornamental. OF such few, the institute
be erected in memory of the late General
William Crawford Gorgas. "Chevalier of HEALTH
will be a conspicuous example. 1t is to be
erected in Panama City, in the heart of the
district where General Gorgas made some of his
greatest efforts toward fighting tropical diseases
and where he met with some of his greatest
success. The Panama government has donated
the building. site and equipment for the Gorgas
Institute and the building may be completed
within the space of a year. Work on the plans
and preparations for the actual construction
are being pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
1t now remains, for the United States and the
other many countries interested ins this great
work to raise the maintenance funds. DR..
Franklin H.. Martin, secretary of the American
College of Surgeons, is chairman of the COM
mittee handling this problem, and Admiral w.
G. BREASTED and Senior Lefevre are the other
members of the committee.
Some idea of the part the United States will
play in establishing the memorial may be gained
when one realizes that in the campaign which
will start next fall the aim will be to raise from
three to five million dollars in this country
alone.
In the charter for the institute two additional
provisions We're added at a meeting of the
Provisional Board held here last week In the
Pan-American Building. These provisions specify
that the institute shall send expeditions into all
South American countries to make researches
concerning tropical diseases; that forces oil
physicians shall be continually in readiness to
visit regions suffering from epidemics; and that
the institute shall devote part of its work to
STUDYING the diseases of animals in relation to
those of human beings, carrying on, in this way
the special work OF the late General Gorgas.

LINCOLN N, GILKEY

Belfast friends of Lincoln N. .Gilkev
were shocked Saturday morning to learn
that he had committed suicide Friday
about noon at his home in Islesboro. His
body was discovered hanging in the barn
by his daughter Gladys. His life was
extinct and there was no apparent cause
for the act although he had suffered at
times from the effects of an accident
while working in the woods about year
ago, when falling limb struck him on
the head causing Inconsistencies for
some time. 1t is also thought that he
:had never fully recovered from the shock
of the sudden death of his eldest daugh-
ter, Mrs. Jessie Rackliffe of Belfast. Mr.
Gilkey was one of Islesboro's most prom
lnent and popular residents, a general
favorite with young and old At the
June primaries in 1920 he lacked only
one vote of being the Republican nomi-
nee to represent his class in the State
Legislature. For years he had been tax
collector and notary public for Islesboro,
had been on the board of selectmen, was
a member of Island Lodge, F. & A. NJ,
of Lone Star Chapter, O. E. S., of the
Islesboro Board of Trade and of its I'M
provement Society, At all times he
could be depended on to do his part in
whatever pertained to the welfare of his
home town. Several years ago he retired
from the grocery business in Dark Har-
hor under the firm name of Gilkey &
Hatch, and engaged in farming, con-
Quoting a milk route III the summer for
the summer residents. Several years ago
he built a very comfortable new house
and his home life was unusually happy
and contented. His wife, formerly Miss
Belle Farnsworth, and their two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Harry Pendleton of Islesboro
and Miss Gladys. who lived at home; and
one brother, Roscoe Gllkey of Brewer,
survive. His age was about 90 years.
The bearers were Messrs. Calvin Kim
ball, W. E. Hatch, w. M. Coombs and
Amasa Williams.

ALfALFA...TH WONDER CROP

Here is another good alfalfa story
and it is true story. Six years ago
when ReInart Week came to the coun-
ty to settle on his homestead north Of
Wood he brought with him a gallon
OF Grim alfs lfa seed which be sowed
on quarter OF an acre OF ground
From this quarter of an acre start he
has harvested enough seed in the past
six years to increase this field from
the original one fourth acre to 80 acres
or l39 told, and besides seeding this
additional land he has sold S4S worth
of seed to his neighbors, and he has
this years seed crop vet to thresb.
Besides doing all this he has cut a
good crop Of hay from his alfalfa field
every year ssve one, when he allowed
the first crop to 60 to seed. A good
stand of alfalfa is admittedly worth
at least 500. 90 an acre anywhere, Sc
Mr.. Week is gradually increasing the
value of his land by increasing bis
alfalfa acreage, and while the start
was rather slow, vet from now on be
will MAKE much better progress, a.
he has got his seeding operations eact
wear systematized and its not nc
to be long until he will have enough
alfalfa to afford him 4 good living
without any other kind OF farming
and be will be able to lav aside a nice
sum each year with which to swell hi'
bank account. You can make gooC
at farming in Mellette county il 20,
will hut adopt the right methods, anC
you can do it easier and with less hare
work than in any country we know oi

l.. } Helm Of the Butterfield Ranch
is the first alfalfa grower in Melette
county to join the Western South Da-
kota Alfalfa Seed Growers Associa-
tion, with headquarters OF Rapid City
This association Is formed to mark
ct the seed Of western South Dakota
alfalfa growers. They are installing
gravity cleaner in their mill, which
cleans all the weed seed and chatf
from the alfalfa, and at the same
time grades it into first, second and
third class seed
1t is becoming recognized as the
leading selling agency Of high class
alfalfa seed throughout the entire
country. Seed can be graded into
standard high class grades, and when
purchasers buy from this association
they know that they are getting their
full value in standard hardy western
South Dakota seed Most of the seed
purchased in the states Of Minnesota,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa is pur-
chased through this agency. They
are doing business on a large scale,
and from inquiries already In their
office they are satisfied they can sell
the members seed at from 5 to l5
cents per pound more, for common
Dakota seed than the seed houses have
offered SO far. They are also equipped
to sell certified seed consigned by the
member growers. !! you will have a
large amount of seed TO sell this year,
it will be profitable to investigate
this association.
