FIVE CHILDREN CONTRACT TB.
FROM INFECTED MILK.

When an early writer first framed
the remark that truth is stranger THAI
fiction, it was the outcome Of vivid OBJ
servation. The statement became
trite through repetition, but occas-
icnally leaps into strong outline in
fact. A case in point has just come
TO the notice of the United States De-
pertinent of Agriculture.
The department, through its Office
of motion pictures, recently produced
film, Out of the Shadows, which
told Of tuberculosis creeping into a
family through the unnoticed infec-
ton of IA handsome herd of cattle. In
the film the farmer disposed of his un-
healthy animals and built on a sound
basis.
Now comes report through the
Nermillion County Farm Bureau of a
case in Ergar County, Ill.,, more strik
ing than the picture story and without
its happy ending. A farmer had hi.
herd tested for tuberculosis and one
COW reacted. Instead Of destroying
her, the farmer declared the test I'M
dependable, removed the ear tag, and
sold her to his hired man for wages.
OF seven children in the mans fam.
lily, five have contracted pronounced
cases of tuberculosis. The other two
did not drink this cows milk. A pig
and cat also contracted disease after
drinking the milk. A warrant ha,
been issued for the original owner or
charge of breaking quarantine, and
it is stated, should one of the children
die, he will be subject to a charge OF
manslaughter.

THE LEAvENWORTH ECHO

was learned subsequently by exam
nation of reports forwarded by mail
to the Danish Meteorological Office IN
Copenhagen, copies of which were
furnished the U. S. Weather Bureau.
However, in so far as daily weather
forecasting is concerned, all the vast
area lying to the north of Canada and
the United States between Alaska and
Iceland is at present a terra incog-
nito.
The station at Inglefield Bay, 'on
the west coast of Greenland, in lati-
tude rs is one of the most northerly
weather stations in existence. Only
two others are nearer the pole, both
on the island of Spitzbergen, in prac-
tically the same latitude, 49, q. The
development of the coal industry in
Spitzbergen was responsible for the
establishment of 4 radio station there,
and this rendered possible the trans
mission of daily weather reports,
which have been received from that
remote region since 1918.

ROAD PArROll.lNG BETTER
THAN REPAIR GANG SYSTEM.

The road patrol system used IN
Grant County. Wash. is pointed out
by the United States Department y!
Agriculture as an illustration of how
highways can be maintained most
successfully and economically. Othct
counties in the state use the gang
system, assigning to each gang II
long section, upon which they make
reports At intervals. seldom reaching
all the necessary points. In Grant
county the plan is to prevent a road
from getting into bad condition IA
Their than to make repairs.
There are IL patrol sections. cacn
from + to 10 miles long, in the S7.S3
miles of county highways Each sec
ton is in charge of patrolman whc
works constantly ON his piece OF
read, feeling that he alone is respon.
Sihle for its condition While these
men work under he direction of the
county engineer. the details are left
largely to their Judgment.

WOMAN IN FIGHT
WITH THREE TIGERS.

Aurora, Illinois. A terrific
fight between woman and three wild
tigers took place behind the gilded
bars of circus wagon before hun
dreds of spectators during parade
today.
While the woman battled alone TO
subdue the beasts the horses drawing
the wagon became frightened at the
roars Of the animals and plunged from
side to side of the street, threatening
to upset the cage and allow the tigers
to escape among the crowds.
There followed mad scramble Of
men, women and children to escape
from the scene and several persons
were trampled in the rush before cir
Gus roustabouts, armed with long
steel bars, succeeded in subduing the
beasts. One of the animals was so
badly injured that it was shot to-
night.
The cage, which was being drawn
through the streets in the circus pa
rade, was divided into two compart.
ments. In one was a half-tamed IL
ger and the woman tanner, Mabel
Stark of Louisville, Ky. In the other,
separated only by steel barred door.
AS it swung open the fight started
Miss Stark, armed only with a
whip, succeeded in fighting the beasts
into one of the compartments and in
again barring the door before help ar
rived. Then the tigers battled
amongst themselves, the combined eff.
forts of half a dozen circus hands be-
ing required to separate them.

WEATHER REPORTS FROM
GREENLAND IN PROSPECT

Officials of the Weather Bureau of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture are observing with much
satisfaction the progress made by tho
Danish Government toward the estab-
lishment of high powered radio sta
ton in Greenland. 1t is expected that
when this station is completed wealth
Ell reports from that continent will be
rendered available that will be of
great value in daily forecasting, not
only in Europe, but in the eastern
United States as well. They should
also prove useful in forecasting the
weather of the North Atlantic ocean
in the interest of shipping and avia-
ton.
Meteorological stations have been
maintained in Greenland for many
years, and some important relations
have been found to exist between at
nospheric conditions there and in 9TH
er parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
For example, during the memorable
cold winter of 1917-1S in the eastern
United States pressure was very
much above normal at stations on the
west coast of Greenland. This fact

is used. 1t has a long wheel base and
two cutting blades rigidly connected
with the carrying frame of the ma
chine. The rear wheels are on sep
aratc axles, controlled by separate
levers The patrolman carries the
necessary small tools for clearing
weeds. trimming shoulders, cleaning
bitches, and for handling surfacing
material. He makes his own repairs
in the county repair shop under the
din ecton of skilled mechanic.
The annual cost of this system,
states the Bureau of Public Roads,
averages $223 a mile. which is less
than other counties pay where roads
receive attention only when they
need il" Grant county has graveled
roads second to none in the state and
its people are enthusiastic supporters

WATER MAY SPREAD
CORN BORERS

Entomologists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture combat
ing the European corn borer have
found on various occasions that water
is not complete barrier to the spread
of the pest. A number of specimens
were recently found on Middle Bass
Island, in the western part of Lake
Erie, several miles from either shore.
They are uncertain whether worms
foated to the island on cornstalks
from an infested portion of Ontario
or whether the flight was made by the
grown insects.
Last year living corn worms were
found on an island several miles off
the coast of Massachusetts.

Mr.. Hickman,
Carthage, Tennessee.
Dear Sir:-Apropos of one of your
recent articles appearing in the Cour-
Ter followed in later edition with the
announcement of your very ambitious
schedule for the current season, I can
not withhold my enthusiastic endorse
ment and citation for the manner in
which you have taken hold of and are
accomplishing things for the people
of Carthage in an athletic sense The
manner in which the citizens have sub
scribed to your undertaking shows
that they are at least alive to the ben
efits accruing from a properly organ
lied and advertised association, and
1T also serves as an opportunity, long
denied the young people of Carthage,
to properly prepare themselves for
competition in the various branches
of sports in your universities
Living in the state of California for
the past several years where it seems
that every little hamlet boasts of its
athletic field, modern equipment and a
spirit that will not down. / cannot help
recalling the fact with some sadness
and even little resentment that those
things were denied US when we were
contributing our efforts on the dia-
mOnd. also recall with pride that
there was indispensable talent avail
able those days, boys who were cap
able of attaining the utmost in ath-
letics, even to the point of playing
with the white Sox." However, it
is not my purpose to complain of the
mistakes of the past but rather to
contribute to the success of the future.
l therefore enclose five Ducks"
A. -
in Carthage this summer l hope it
may be my pleasure to witness your
team in action. My best wishes for
the success of your project and for a
successful season.
Very respectfully.

Carthage High Defeats
Lebanon High 80 to 3

The Carthage High School baseball
team got all the batting and base
running practice they were looking
for last Saturday afternoon when they
met the Lebanon High School bunch
on the Carthage field. While the Car
thage boys were putting in their time
hitting and base-running the Lebanon
lads were given lot of fielding prac-
tice, as the local lads proceeded to bat
the ball to every corner of the lot.
Lebanon finally changed pitchers but
this had no effect on Carthage and
when the final came Carthage had
tailed 80 runs and Lebanon only
counted 3. All the Carthage boys
showed much improvement in play,
and an interesting feature of the game
was the work of Carriages cub bat
teries, Smith in the box and Malone
behind the bat, in the last half of
the game. These boys are only of the
knee-pant class, but they readily con-
vInceu the large crowd present that
they were natural ball players.
Friday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock
and Saturday afternoon at l:30 o'clock
Carthage viii meet Livingston AGA

Friday afternoon, April Is, Car
image will meet the strong Hume

fist church, who is chaplain of the
House of Representatives of the pre-
sent Legislature, along with a good
hkness of the popular minister, APP
peared in last Tuesdays issue of the
Nashville Banner:
Rev. John t. Oakley, chaplain of the
house of representatives, celebrated

The Rev. Oakley's job in the house
IS to offer prayer just after Mr..
Speaker Todd calls the house to order,

He enjoys his place in the house but
makes no bones. of the fact that strict

towns, although he has had numerous
calls to larger churches He is at

CRIMINAL COURT I
NOW IN SESSION

The spring term of criminal court
was opened by Judge j. M. Garden
hire last Tuesday morning. A large
and interested crowd was present and
heard the unusually strong and force
full charge given to the grand jury
by Judge Gardenhire.
Attorney General j. r. Mitchell is
present and looking after the interests
of the state The present Legislature
has passed an act permitting the at
torney-general to appoint an assist
ant. 1t has been pointed out that the
duties of an encouragement in this
circuit are entirely too much for him
to give all the cases that come up
proper attention. In addition to the
already heavy amount of work the
Legislature has put White County
back in this circuit, and this means
that Judge Gardenhire and General
Mitchell now have another county to
look after. The Act permitting the
appointment of an assistant attorney
general is now effective, but al vet
no one has been commissioned by Gen.
Mitchell as such official.
The first part of the week was taken
up in the disposal of the usual run of
mlsdemeanor cases, and it is thought
the entire docket will be disposed Of
within a few days
The grand jury is Heomposed of the
following:
