Temperature of ocean Water.

The surface water Of the ocean va
ries in temperature with the latitude.
The hottest water-about so degrees
is al the equator, and the coolest at
the poles. Al depth of several hum
dred feet, however the ocean, even In
the tropics, becomes extremely cold.
This icy water has drifted down from
the poles. spreading its chilling effect
over the entire sea. In the lowest
depths the temperature is very close
TO the freezing point. But there Is
no danger that the ocean will ever
freeze, because the water is in per-
petual motion through waves, tides
and also because the warm water at
the equator, constantly rising to the
top, keeps the general temperature
from dropping too low.

ly the same way as their plant

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

John Perschirn, the fellow who
was sent to Duluth last week for
shooting Anton Studavich week
ago Monday morning at Pluth's
saloon, returned Saturday evening
from Duluth, the grand jury hav-
ing failed to indict him. The wit
nesses who went from here also re-
turned that evening. The fellow
who was shot was at the depot
when Perschirn left the train and
to say he was surprised would be
| putting it mildly.
In connection with this case,
Judge Van Blarcom has received a
letter from County Attorney Nc
Clintock, limiting to be more care
full in the future in sending pris-
oners down on such small charges
as shooting a man, as this case
cost the county the enormous sum
of 500. If the valiant County At
torney would please inform the
range citizens what would consti-
tute crime sufficient to send a
man before the grand jury he
would be comforting a great favor.
He would also be doing a benefit
| in informing the various municipal
courts as to how they can deal
with a man who has committed an
assault with intent to kill, without
going before the grand jury. The
citizens here are satisfied that Per-
schirn was not the agressor in the
case and only shot to save himself
and no one thought the grand jury
would hold him, but why this re-
minder by the county attorney
when he knew no other course was
open.

State Weed Inspector calling atten-
ton to the duty of all citizens re-
garding noxious weeds. In the
noxious weed class is everything in
the weed line that is damaging to
the health and the prosperity of
the people and in this class is the
golden rod besides dozens of other
weeds. The golden rod is a nox-
ious. weed as it is an irritant to
hay fever sufferers. This ailment
is at present a stranger to this
country but will not long remain
so if the golen rod is not exter-
minated The law on the subject
says: st shall be the duty of
every occupant of land, or if land
is unoccupied, the owner thereof,
or his duly accredited resident
agent, to cut down and eradicate
any noxious weeds standing or
growing upon such land and to do
so in such manner and at such
times as may be directed and or
dered by the state weed inspector,
or by the district or local weed in

In New England they have an
idea of making an applicant for a
motor license take a pledge of total
abstinence from the drink that in
toxicates as an aid to safe and sane
motor driving. The problem OF the
drunken driver is one that is agi-
tating the police of the country
and it is the general belief that
being compelled to take folced
pledge will not mend matters to
any large extent as the pledge
would be taken by anyone trying
for a license and broken at will.
The knowledge that punishment
would be sure for the drunken car
driver who causes an accident
would do more to discourage drink
ing habit than any other one thing.

The novel case of spa" travelling
first class while "Ma" came over
in the steerage came to light at
Ellis Island Saturday. The two
sons who went to meet their par
ents thought it was o. X. for their
father to travel thus as they said
he was "a learned man" while the
mother. was not. The Inspector in
charge said he would ''learn the
old man something" and took away
his first-class landing card, gave
him a talking to on American
chivalry and sent him to Ellis
Island to remain with his wife
until she was examined and al
lowed to enter this country. This
fellow puts us in mind of the man

had left his wife at home because

B. Is Cancer Increasing?


Cancer appears to be on the in
crease in every civilized country,
The death rate in the United States
registration area increased from 90
per 100000 population in 1900 to
81.6 in 1917. The rise in the re-
corded cancer death rate is partly
to be attributed to improved medl-
cal diagnosis and better statistical
methods, but these factors seem in
sufficient to account for the wide
spread increase reported from pfac-
tically all civilized countries, or for
certain significant variations when
the rates are studied for particular
organs by age and sex and cancer
is probably increasing, though not
equally with all forms of the
disease, some of which even show
decrease.
C. Why Women Should Know
About Cancer.
Between the ages of 35 and As
three times as many American wo-
men as men die of cancer, between
the ages of As and So, twice as
many Generally speaking, the ex-
cessive mortality among women is
due to cancer of the breast and of
the generative organs. These forms
of the disease, like others, are cur
able by competent treatment in
the early stages. But the warning
signs must be learned and needed.
