The dog team was in the lead to- day.

 The faithful dog team, carrying 4S0,0 units of serum from Nenana, was trotting over the winding ice covered trails in the Yukon valley. The teams started yesterday and ex- pected to arrive Friday. The air plane, once in the air, would travel as the crow flies, a much shorter distance than the dog team route.
 No new diphtheria cases have been reported in four days, and epi- demic conditions have improved greatly. the board of health dis closed following a survey made yes | terday.
 The board sent word to the Fair.

 The board said that the second consignment would relieve any sit uation that may arise. It is pointed out that all diphtheria patients were improving.
 A message of gratitude for the offer to fly to Nome with the serum was sent to Roy s. Darling, former navy aviator and associated with the department of justice at Fair banks, and with his mechanician, Ralph P. Mackie of Anchorage. an employe of the Alaska railroad. In another message the Airplane cor poration and the residents of Fair banks were praised for the issist- ance in plans to speed the send ing of the serum here.

STUDENT ARRESTED
 IN POISON CASE
Held for Questioning at Ohio
 State University

Columbus, Ohio. Feb, 1o.--Arrest of another Ohio State University stu dent in connection with the poison ing of two students was forecast to- day by Prosecutor Chester. He said evidence had been found against a student who previously had testified | before, the investigators.
 Authorities are said to have found small quantity of narcotics and poisons in the suspects room. d..
 Prosecutor Chester said he had in- vestigated the story previously told by the student and had found that it did not check in several instances. He would not say when he would be questioned further or when he might be arrested.
 Louis Fish, 19, freshman in the college of pharmacy at Ohio State l University, was being held in city jail today for further questioning by City Prosecutor John J. Chester, in charge of the investigation of the deaths of two university students and the illness of others, following his admission last night that without permission he had dispensed poison capsules to David I. Puskin. fellow student, which caused his death, Fish was held incommunicado.
 Fish, while admitting he failed to tell all he knew of the facts on first being questioned, denied he put poi son in the capsule bottle. Paskun, Fish told the city prosecutor, was his best friend"
 His willingness to do a favor for Puskin, Fish said, he now realized, caused the latter's death. At the request of Puskin, he said, he enter :. ed the pharmacy dispensary to get "a couple of capsules that wouldn't be missed" although Puskin had a prescription for the capsules in his possession. The capsules normally ! cost 20 cents.
 Fish, the first student to be ques- tioned last Wednesday when the po- lice inquiry into the poisonings be- gan, was also one of the first two students who were on duty in the

LEE COUNTY FARM is
BOUGHT FOR TOBACCO
AN INDIANA WOMAN NEGOTI-
ATES FOR 1000 ACRES FOR
II THOUSAND DOLLARS.

According to present plans a huge
tract of approximately 1900 acres near
Leesburg, in Lee county, will be plant
ed to tobacco next season, thereby
establishing the greatest tobacco plan
tation in this section of the tobacco
country.
The huge tobacco farm, it is said,
will be established by Mrs. L. A. Gull
yer, jr., of Veedersburg, Ind, who has
just purchased from the land sales de
partment of the Atlanta Trust Com
pany and admirably adapted to the
production of the weed. Mrs. Culver
paid $4,000 for the farm, and is said
to plan further investments that will
run the total to above 100000.
A relative of the new owner who
now resides in North Carolina and is
an experienced tobacco culturist, has
been selected to direct operations on
the Culver farm, it is announced, and
he will move there with his family at
an early date.

Wheat Crop Shortage.

"In one year we have had IS per
cent shrinkage in wheat acreage. Lat
est estimates point to a wheat crop
20O,000,000 bushels below last years.
That is, we are barely growing a do
nestle supply this year; which means
that imports of wheat are possible.
But Mr. Coolidge, acting under the
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1925-11-17

decided change has taken place in the
diet of city-dwellers, due to economic
conditions" AS we are told:
Referring to a hotel menu card Of
about 1850 Professor East finds more
than fifty kinds of meat and game of
fered for one meal, the diner having
the liberty of ordering number of
them.
Today. the menu card in the same
hotel would have half dozen kinds
of meat, and the diner would order
only one, or little fish or game"
On the other hand the Associated
Press circulates dispatch from Will
Jamestown which reads:
The United States can support a
population of 350000,000, and by APP
plying German methods a popula-
ton of 574,000,000, it was asserted at
the Institute OF Politics by Professor
r. ]. McFall, of the agricultural eco
Monies department, Massachusetts,
agricultural college. He declared that
contrary to the Malthusian doctrine,
the world would be able to feed itself
indefinitely"
AS confident, if not more so, is the
Omaha Bee, which remarks that the
world has not nearly exhausted its ca
pacity for producing food" and con-
tinues:
IF the fence corners and roadsides
in Nebraska were cultivated as are the
fields enough could be produced to
support the entire population of the
state, and leave the rest for export
IF Nebraska fields brought forth as
literally as those of Vermont the yield
of corn would be three times what it,
is. Add single bushel OF wheat to
the acre in Kansas, and enough is pro-
duced to feed 100000 people on
bread"
So the comparison might go on in
definitely.

UNCLE SAM ISSUES
BAKING PAMPHLET
BULLETIN GIVES PRINCIPALS
OF PROPER MATERIALS AND
HOW TO COMBINE THEM.

Many American housewives make
the major part of the bread eaten by
their families, as we'll as the cake,
pastry, quick breads and other baked
products consumed in the home This
may be because they cannot conven-
iently get commercially baked bread
and other bakery products or because
the flavor and quality OF the home
baking is preferred,
Even when all the baked goods
used are made outside of the home a
knowledge of what constitutes the
best materials helps in the choice of
those purchased.
Good results depend not only on
the materials but on the methods of
mixing them and the proportions in
which they are combined. Farmers
Bulletin 1850, Home Baking, by
Charlotte Chatfeld, assistant home
economics specialist has just been is
sued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and points out
what makes for high quality in baked
products, giving typical recipes for
the usual breads, cakes and other bak-
ed foods the housekeeper may wish
to make at home. These main types
may be varied in almost innumerable
ways by the housekeeper by adding
seasonings or by baking in different
shapes and sizes.
A great variety of recipes is not in
cluded; instead emphasis is placed on
the general principles of baking, pro-
portions and ways of substituting va
rious ingredients, such as soft wheat
for hard wheat flour, so that the
housekeeper can make economical use
of the materials at hand
Hard and Soft Wheat
A discussion of the differences be
tween hard wheat and soft wheat
hours will be found helpful, especially
by those who must depend on one
kind or the other exclusively. Every
housewife who enjoys making bread
will welcome the explicit directions
for using the various kinds of yeast
and for handling the dough at each
stage Of the process.
The proportions for quick breads,
such as popovers, mullins, biscuits,
waff1es, griddle cakes and fritters, also
for a foundation cake and pastry, are
stated in a useful table and the meth
cd of mixing each is given separately.
Sour and Sweet Milk.
In lime with the underlying idea of
the bulletin, which is to present gen
eral principles rather than collection
of recipes, is the paragraph showing
how to substitute sour milk and soda
for sweet milk and baking powdeL
and vice versa. Sponge cake, sunshine
cake and angel food are compared and
discussed and the ever-popular dough-
nut is given attention as well as sew
eral kinds of wholesome cookies.

pensive bread
Reminding us that Mr.. Wallace's
father was once secretary OF agricul-
ture, and that Mr.. Wallace himself
was an expert in the food administra-
ton during the war, the Toledo Blade
attaches grave consideration to his
theories, and says:
Population has been increasing
throughout the new world, in Europe
OF the old world, parts of Asia and
at least the southern part of Africa
SO far agriculture has been able to
care for this increase by the cultivation
OF more acres and, to certain extent
and in certain sections, increasing the
yield per acre. But studies recently
made indicate that most of the highly
productive land has been put under
cultivation. The greater part of that
which is lett for the pioneering farmer
is poor land, land that can never make
a rich return, and land whose cost of
cultivation would cost more than the
value OF the products. Much has been
made Of the promise of intense cult
yation. But there is a strict limit to
such possibilities.
