Yellow Fever ScourVe
Being Eradicated

Bloomington, Ind, Feb. 1l.-Yellow
fever, the scourge of South America
for centuries, has been eradicated
from Guayaqun on the coast of Ecua-
dor, according 70 an announcement re-
ccived here by DR.. Carl II. Eigenmain,
head of the department Of zoology Of
Indiana University and an authority
in South American fishes, from the
Sanitary Commission of Ecuador. The
announcement was accompanied by
specimens of little fishes discovered
for the prevention of the disease, with
= request that they be classified and
thnt information be given from data
collected in various Indiana Univer-
.sity expeditions to South America as
20 where these fishes are to be found.
The fishes have been identified and
detailed information has been for
Marded which will enable other South
American countries to locate the fishes
and use them in dealing death to the
Yellow fever mosquito.
Yellow fever is carried from oEc
person to another by a mosquito which
lives in the barrels in which the ma
tivcs Of South America keep their
drinking water. Each family has kept
its own supply of yellow fever car
riers, so to speak, and many times
ports Of the west coast have been
closed against ships on account Of out
breaks of yellow fever. Recently the
Sanitary Commission of Ecuador be
gan experiments with various fishes
which would eat the mosquitoes in the
barrels. Some fishes ate the wig.
Glrrs,' which develop into mosquitoes
and it was found that two fishes
called "chalacos' and 'huaijas" Ey
the natives, did the work effectively.
The "chalacos" is found everywher.

Mexico May Go Dry

Mexico City, Feb. 10.-The "wets"
in Mexico are frankly alarmed. They
say there is real possibility that
Mexico City, at least, may go "dry"
before the end of the year and that If
so, the next step would be to make
the entire republic arid of alcoholic
beverages.
President Obregon does not say
that he is prohibitionist but within
the past few months he has given his
unqualified support to certain legal
measures which aim to cut down
drinking and eventually to put in
toxicants under the ban.
Saloons, clubs and cantinas have
been put under more rigid restric-
tions and, only few weeks ago, q
presidential decree increased the fed
eral revenue tax on alcoholic drinks
! 100 percent. There are many rumors
that these taxes will be automatical-
ly increased until they become pro-
hibitive.
Nationwide protest was heard sew
eral days ago when the newspapers
said that President Obregon contem-
| plated issuing decree forbidding
the planting and cultivation of the
maguey plant which is the basic in
gredient of the most popular native
drinks.
The maguey, which is a species oi
cactus, must be replanted every sever
years and decree prohibiting its
cultivation would mean it's extermin
alton and with il the elimination Of
tequila. mescal and puique, drinks o.
undisputed potency.
Planters of maguey rushed mum
pointing out that the plant is par

tion in that 1t produces a valuable
fibre, sugar, a base for paper and {
medicine that is said to be a specific
for kidney disease. 1t was also sale
that its spines, treated by an mex
pensive process, make cheap and eX
cellent phonograph needles.
President Obregon has not yet is
sued the decree--but the planter:
are still worried and SO are certain
other persons.
The 'wets" have held .numerou
meetings within the past few week
to organize their campaign agains

the Treasury de la Huerta is also s

New National Monument

BY proclamation Of President Har-
ding, signed January "a, 593-acre
tract in the Nevada National Forest
was set aside as the Lehman Caves
National Monument. For 25 years
these caves have been known locally
and for some time individuals have
been trying to gain control of them
but the action of the chief executive
retains them safely for all the people
and prevents the destruction Of the
many objects of scenic and scientific
value. The area remains part OF
the national forest, but the monument
can be used for no purposes that in
tcrfere with its preservation as q ma.
tional monument. 1t is the eleventh
national monument to be established
in national forest and the first one
in Nevada.
The act providing for the preserva.
ton of such areas, that of June S
1906, authorizes the president, in his
discretion, to declare by public procla.
nation to be national monuments his.
toric landmarks, historic and prehis
toric structures,t and other objects OF
historic or scientif interest that are
situated upon lands owned or con.
trollcd by the government. The es.
tablishment Of . monument prevents
the removal of any objects of interest
except under the suthority Of the sec,
retary of agriculture.

California Institute of Technology, of

rector, and the new physics laboratory
Of which DR.. Millikan is director, will
approach the subject from their re-

History Of Canning
Industry For Past
Hundred Years

Louisville, KY, Feb. IA histor.
| Of the canned food industry date!
back 100 years, according to review
at the recent convention here of tn,
National Gamers Association.
The process began to be worked ou
simultaneously in New York and Bos
ton. Thomas Lemsett and Ezra Dag
gett of New York, succeeded in 1872:
in canning or packing in crude wa.
salmon, Holsters and oysters. In Bos
ton William Underwood and Charlie.
Mitchell, using heat, succeeded il
packing damsons, ounces, cranberrie:
and currents. Up until this time tn,
canning of food, one of the most i'm
portant industries Of present civiliza
ton, was unknown.
Credit for the discovery Of tn.
method of keeping perishable goods b,
heat and sealing in air-tight contain
ers, however, belongs to a Frenchman
Nicholas Appert. Appert, taking ad.
vantage of an offer by Napoleon OF
10000 francs for the discovery Of a
method of preserving food for his
army, began experiments that, after
10 years, resulted in the discovery
that food could be preserved by using
heat and putting the product in sealed
containers.
The theory of the process, however,
vas unknown to Appert and it was
not until the time Louis Pasteur, the
famous bacteriologist, discovered bac-
terra that the scientific basis of can
ming was understood
Prof. II. l.. Russell of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin, using Pasteur's dis
covery, found in 1895 that the spoilage
certain pea Gamers were experiencing
was due TO bacteria. Higher tempera-
ture of sterilization was found to be
necessary. Prof. Russell's work was
continued by Prof. Prescott and Prof
Underwood of the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology.
Canning of oysters was begun in
Baltimore In 1910 and the following
i856year the sardine industry had it's
birth in Maine. The Pacific Coast,
however, did not enter the canning
field until 1856.
However it was not until the Civil
War that canning factory was estab-
lished.
Canned good, which formed the
principal rations Of the armies in the
World War, obviated the necessity of
soldiers at the front going without
food for several days at time, such
as had been the case in earlier wars
it was pointed out at the convention.
The war department, during the
Year and half the United States was
at war, purchased for the American
and Allied Expeditionary Forces 30,-
100000 cases Of canned vegetables and
2 100000 cases of canned fruits, it was
shown.
The annual output Of canned foods,
according to the Census bureau, ex-
ceeds 100000, 900 ln-Vafue. -

Stock Growers
Get Assistance
The following has been received for
publication from, the South Carolina
Cooperative Live Stock association:

The South Carolina Cooperativ,
Live Stock association will supply ;
much needed relief and assistance tc
the stock growers of this state. Fol
the first time in history our govern
ment has seen fit to come to the finan
cial assistance and aid Of the stocl
growers.
His has indeed been lone fight il
the past, and still in the present. The
majority of the banks do not con
slider live stock good collateral. TIL.
few that do give it any consideration
at all do not extend their loans owe,
so per cent Of the value of the live
stock offered as security. Now the
government has at last extended 4
helping hand. 1t can not be blamed
for not recognizing the industry r
the past asthe venture was too risky
1t would have had to depart from its
sound business methods TO have done
so.
There has at last been an act pass
ed that makes it possible for live
stock grower to obtain very liberal
loans on his stock. Although the
war finance corporation, from which
this assistance can be had. does not
recognize the individual live stock
grower, it does recognize an associa-
ton of growers.
The South Carolina Cooperative
Live Stock association has been form
ed according TO the requirements of
the laws laid down by this act. By
being n member of this association
a grower 10 privileged to receive or
borrow from two-thirds to three
fourths Of the market value Of his
live stock. The money thus obtained
can be expended in enlarging the
herd. fattening, breeding and orderly
marketing, and, in fact, in any way
that applies to this particular indus
try.
Thus the members of this associa-
ton will bring thousands upon thous.
ands of dollars into the state. This
is going to put new life into the veins
of TIE industry instead of letting it
smash on the breakers of demoral-
lied market.
With the assistance offered by the
association the live stock industry
should grow as it will bring about
that would eliminate the
Spectator and give the producer n
chance to market his live stock order
ly and at time when a justifable
price can be obtained.
The grower must do his part. The
government has offered TO meet him
half way. II the grower grasps the
opportunity that is offered him, pros
rerity will take the place of poverty.
The exercise of good Judgment by the
stockmen Of this state will make n
landmark in its history.

Three Potent Influences.

Against them bitter warfare Is
being wsged by the three most
potent influences in the life Of
our boys and girls-the movies,
popular literature and social life
comprising all the prevalent az.
travagance in music, dancing.
fashion and the free indulgence
In liquor in defiance Of the ma
tion's low.
Ideals that for generations have
inspired TO clean living and lofty
thinking are sneered at. and pro-
claimed to be out Of date. Be
liefs that through the passing
years have shed their sacred radi.
ance over the holiest Of human
relationships are held up freely 70
ridicule and scorn.
The family itself has perhaps
most of all been the target for
endless Jest and the coarsest gibes.
Standards Of conduct that through
all ages have been accepted as
necessary to the very endurance
Of the civilized social structure
are trampled in the miro,
Never before was youth 50
sorely beset. Never has youth
more sadly needed parental wis

tai restraint.
Can we not, must we net, give
youth more definitely and more
generously this wisdom, counsel
and restraint?
The longer ] have studied this
problem the more convinced have
/ become that in our thought and
attempted treatment Of IT we
have too much ignored the most
vital factor involved-the boys

Frank Talk to Mothers.'

And 30 welcome the eppor-
tunity with the methers who read
these columns, some Of whom are
probably ignorant of actual condi-
tions, many of whom, I know, are
sorely perplexed and honestly
seeking the solution OF a hard
problem.
AS schoolmaster who has
dealt pretty intimately for twenty
seven years with nearly 1000
boys. l think may fairly claim
TO know something about boys ard
the reactions of boy nature.
At best. the school can only sup
plement the work OF the home.
and the schoolmaster Is always de-
pendent on the parent. So let me,
II you will state a few plain facts
that TO me are self-evfdent, and
try to draw from them conclusions
that will help us in our efforts to
play fair with youth.
Ihe preNalnnR instincts OF youth
are largely animal. The impulses
that invite the hardest battles are
chiefly physical and associated
with seX-control
Uncurbed, these impulses and
instincts lead to disaster and ruin.
Controlled, they take their proper
place as necessary and potent fac.
tors in the development Of rugged
character and virile manhood.
Youth is ever conscious OF their
presence, and because Of them
boys especially must face the
stormiest period Of their lives and
tight their hardest fights. And
just because the fight Is hard at
best and the issue so often In
doubt, civilization has always rec
