Land South of
Hurley Is Sold
Property Held by Northern Chief
Iron Company Has Been Trans
ferred to Hurleyites.

A large tract Of land south Of the
city of Hurley, 81 lots in all. has
been transferred from the Northern
Chief Iron company to Daniel and
Everis H. Reid and R. c. Trembath
and has been opened to settlement.
1t became known a few weeks ago
that negotiations for the purchase of
the property were under way, but
not until the latter part of the week
was formal announcement of the
sale made.
Included in the transfer is the
block fronting on Silver street be-
tween First avenue and the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad Another
block south is also included and west
ward it takes in the ball park and as
far west as Fifth avenue, the
Germania location being excluded.
1t opens up to settlement consider
able land which has been held by the
Northern Chief Iron company on ac-
count of its value for mining pur-
poses. 1t will be known as the
Northern Chief Iron Company's
Fifth Addition to Hurley. The
property has been plated and the
lots are being offered for sale.
The Hurley baseball park, which
has been used by the ball club since
the village of Hurley was founded
under a friendly agreement with
the owners and fee holders, is
probably lost to the ball club, for
since the new owners came into pos
session of the land a number of lots
which take in a greater portion of
the ball park have been sold to
Joseph Francis, Joseph DiUlio and
Frank Gentille. 1t is understood
that the purchasers will continue to
allow the ball park to be used for a
time, but eventually residences will
be erected thereon and another site
for ball park will have to be
procured.

people were killed in automobile
accidents last year; that thirty
seven persons met death every day in
1923 through someone's negligence
or criminal recklessness in the
operation of motor vehicle, and the

The fact that Wisconsin chiefs Of

Milwaukee went on record in favor
of legislation designed to curb the
reckless and drunken automobile

Funds Not Sufficient to Check
Deterioration, Weeks
Asserts

Army property in and around
Washington is in bad shape, accord
ing to the annual report OF Secre-
tary Of War Weeks.
Boiling Field. Fort Myer, and
Fort Washington are cited as evil
dence by the Secretary Of the short
age OF adequate funds for repairs
and maintenance granted to the
War Department by Congress-.
'The barracks at Boiling Field
are unsuitable and of temporary
construction, says Secretary
Weeks. 1.-THE sick rate is higher
here than at any station in the dis
trict, and is due to poor drainage
and the type of buildings used, &C
cOrding to the stations surgeon"
Recommendations looking toward
permanent construction at Boiling
Field have been before Congress
for more than two years, but no
action has yet been taken, accord
Ing to Mr.. Weeks,
1.-THE curtailment Of available
funds Is believed to be detrimental,
especially at Fort Myer, where
valuable roadbeds, leading to the
wharf at the Potomac river, are
rapidly disintegrating, owing to the
fact that sufficient funds were lack
ing to maintain It properly. This
road, which was built at consider
able cost. win require extensive re-
pairs at heavy expense unless steps
are taken at an early date to pre-
vent It,"
Secretary Weeks adds that in
many cases there has not been suf.
Gicient money available even to
paint the buildings. and he urges
upon Congress the necessity Of a
larger contingent fund for the War
Department Tor the upkeep OF all
military structures In Washington
and elsewhere.

HEALTH TALKS

Many people may think that dog
days are so-called because they are
only fit for a dog to live in. There
is the belief that dogs might go mad,
that is. have rabies or hydrophobia,
from no other cause than weather
conditions. This superstitution was
long ago exploded by the great
scientist. Louis Pastcur, who showed
that rabies never developed in dogs
unless they had beer bitten by other
animals infected with the disease.
Pasteur also discovered a means OF
"va~ccinating' animals and human be-
ings against rabies. This method of
vaccination has come to be known as
the "Pasteur treatment.
We know now that there IS abso-
lutely no relation between dog days
and hydrophobia or rabies. The
weather may not be hot enough to
crack the bulb of the thermometer,
and the humidity may be high enough
to wilt a celluloid collar. yet no dog
will ever get rabies unless he has
been bitten by another dog or animal
that has the disease.
Another popular belief is that a mad
dog is afraid of water. Such a belief
would be ludicrous. were its results
not so often tragic. for observers
have often noted that mad dogs in
their course of wandering will ever
swim streams. and veterinarians re-
cognize that it is unusual for them to
manifest any fear of water.
Another belief is that a mad dog
must always froth at the mouth. Yet
this is not always so. Sometimes
dogs have a form Of disease known
as dub rabies. where the affected
animal manifests no such symptom.
yet if a child is bitten by the dog
while attempting to pet it. he may
get the disease and die.
All dog bites. then. whether in dog
days or in any other time, should be
regarded seriously. They should re-
the attention of a physician.
The dog should be Immediately
locked up and if he should be kept
confined for ten days. If he
has rabies, he will die or show un-
signs of the disease before
The expiration of this time.
1t is highly important that anyone
by a dog which is suspected OF
having rabies should begin the Pasteur
at once. This is especially
rue il the bite is on the face or
part of the head or neck. II
he treatment is begun Immediately
lfter the biting takes place. HYDRO
,hobia hardly ever develops.

Full Crops in Spite
of Water Shortage

Last week | discussed the need Tor
applying just the correct amount oil
water to each field at each irrigation
The same requirement applies to the
distribution of the water over a single
field.
Every irrigator has had the ex-
pericnce of having to irrigate a held
because a portion Of il was too dry
when other portions were still dong
very well and in no need OF water
Sometimes this trouble is due to a
difference in the soil in various parts
! OF the field. However. in many cases
il is due to the uneven distribution
OF the irrigation water.
Uniform Distribution Essential
For Economy
In such a case, assuming that the
soil of the field is uniform, it is
evident that not enough water was
absorbed by the portion Of the field
which dried out first. The remedy
may be greater care in securing pro-
per distribution of the water dur
ing the run or better preparation OF
the land for irrigation by care
full leveling or the relocation of field
laterals.
Very often there will be no indi-
cation. in the time at which the vari-
Gus parts OF the field dry out, OF
the fact that water has not been
evenly spread over the fields. This
is explained by the fact that those
portions Of the field receiving the
smaller quantities OF water absorbed
all that the soil could hold in its
pores, while the other portions re-
ceived so much that the excess moved
on down through the soil to the
groundwater below.
Unless irrigation water is applied
uniformly over the fields there is
bound to be a loss either of water.
where too much is applied in spots.
OF crop yield. where too little is
absorbed. Most soils will absorb
water at a comparatively uniform
rate for an indefinite period. For this
reason. the upper ends OF irrigation
runs ordinarily receive more water
than the lower ends. AS an example,
one set of experiments in California
showed that the upper end of the runs
in an orchard contained more mois-
before the irrigations than the
end of the runs contained after
irrigation. In that case the trees at
he lower end of the runs were in
condition and produced more
'ruit than those at the upper end. 1t
was, therefore. evident that the -ex-
less water applied near the head
was not only wasted but in
ured the crop.
