Map Constantly Changes.

ONE of the Federal Governments s
maps possibly more than any
other is in a constant state of change
with corrections made every month.
This Is the map which shows the
progress Of the drive to rid the coun-
try of bovine tuberculosis Every
month additional counties are added
to the so-cslled modified credited
areas In which less than half of / per
cent of the dairy cattle are suffering
from the disease.
1t is proven to the satisfaction Of
many medical experts that the dis
ease can be transmitted to human
beings and for that reason the De-
partment of Agriculture, with the CO.
operation of the States, has set out
to wipe the disease out entirely.

Pork Warning Prepared.

PACK of many of the suits which
~ have been filed because OF de-
velopment of trichinosis In persons
eating improperly cooked pork has
been a claim that improper warning
has been given of the danger Of the
disease.
Generally speaking only about
I or 2 per cent of the hogs raised In
this country have the organisms which
cause the disease, but occasionally
such meat reaches market and now
and then some one is stricken with
the disease II the meat is not suf-
flciently cooked.
To guard against illness and also to
aid those selling meat, the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has developed .
sign which not only extols the ad-
vantages Of pork as o food, but also
warns the prospective purchaser to
cook It properly. These signs are for
display at meat counters.

Campfire Stories
BY Ell COMANCHO.
when Spring wasn't Spring.
m THE Spring of 1880 my work Of


TN THE Spring of 1880 my work Of
buying right-of-way lands for the
projected new line of the Burlington
Railroad from Grand Island, Nebr., to
Billings, Mont, took me up through
the sand hills and up the valley of the
Middle Loup River almost to the
present South Dakota boundary.
The country at this time was wild,
unfenced Cow country" The only
way I could get to Stems ranch, my
destination, was by blackboard and
team, usually just driving straight
across the country, for roads were few
and far between.
When my companion and I reached
the Dismal River, which flows into
| the Middle Loup, we had to find q
ford, for the banks were steep and
there was much quicksand in the
stream. We got 'across finally. re-
peated the process when we reached
the Middle Loup and so, eventually,
came to Stems ranch.
The weather had been fine for
month. But just as we reached the
ranch, late one afternoon, a belated
blizzard came whooping out of the
northwest. Had we been few hours
later, we would have been caught in
the storm, and would have had to
camp by the river and stay there, for
no man could face q plains blizzard
very long and stay alive.
That wind blew great guns for three
days, bringing two feet of snow and q
40-below-zero temperature. The first
| night some 40 men came blunder-
ing through the storm to find shelter
at the ranch. They were cattlemen
and freighters who knew every inch
of the country and managed to reach
the ranch in spite of the storm. And
there we all stayed "holed up" for
three days.
The morning of the fourth day
broke clear and very cold, but with
no wind, and as my business at Stems
ranch was finished. we cut away the
ice in the river, got our outfit across
and started for Dunning's ranch, 40
miles south and the nearest hab1ta-
| ton to Stems renchs in that direc-
ton. The deep snow made hard going
for our team, even though we had
only the light blackboard, with only
| two of us riding.
| We reached the north bank Of the
Dismal River just at dusk. Dunning'S
ranch was on the south side, so we
had the swift stream to cross. and 1t
was running full of pan ice." The
shore ice was frozen solid out 10 feet
or more, and we had to chop this
away with an ak before we could
reach the water, which was belly deep
or the horses.
| While we were chopping, one of the
horses dropped in the harness. In 10
minutes 1t was dead-from overexer-
ton on the trip. We chopped our way
into the river, left the blackboard, and
rode double on the other horse nearly
to the south bank. And then dowr
went the whole outfit in a bed o.
quicksand.
It was dark by then, and how W.
ever got out of that sand In that icy
river I don't know. But we did. We
were soaked to the skin, however. and
the thermometer was still down tc
90 below zero. We trotted through two
feet of snow for a mile to reach Dun.
ning's ranch. and when we finally Loi
there, to warmth and safety. oul
clothes were q solid mass of ice.

The VOx Humana.

'nNE of the most effective stops on
" the modern pipe organ, the vox
humana which resembles the human
voice obtains its peculiar tones through
a dual arrangement Of pipes. The
sets stand side by side, each note
represented by two pipes, one slightly
above pitch and one slightly below.
Sounding simultaneously, they give
the effect of the human voice. The
effect is increased through operation
of the tremolo which approximates
the quaver in a human voice.

Secret of the Secretary
By w. Boyce Morgan

WHEN she entered the house she
did not know whether she could
expect any supper from the Peabodys
or not The matter of keeping up the
house and paying for the food had
not yet been settled. She was amazed,
therefore, when Mrs. Peabody greeted
her with a smile and told her that
supper would be ready in an hour
Helen hardly knew what to make of
that as she went up to her room. She
couldn't believe that the Peabodys had
changed so completely. Moreover, the
smile on the woman's face had been
little too pleasant to be sincere.
Helen decided to be very much on her
guard as far as the Peabodys were con-
cerned.
During the meal they were very
polite-almost too polite, Helen told
herself. Mr.. Peabody's oily manner
and feeble Jokes did not suit his thin
face and his forbidding mouth. She
was instantly alert, therefore, when
he cleared his throat Importantly
smiled even more fondly than usual,
and prepared to speak.
Miss Helen" he said smoothly,
Mrs Peabody and have been think
ing it over and it doesn't seem right
that we should each get $1,000 from
your grandfather when there will be
nothing left for you. 1t would be q
shame for you to give up your school
before you finish. So we have decided
to decline our bequests and give you
the $4,000"
