Roosevelt 's latest expedition is that there will he one more river to cross. West Union (0.) ltceord. GROWTH OF THE 24-HOUR DAY., The government of Uruguay has just decreed the use of the 2'1-hour day. All time will be registered from 0 to 21 hours. Italy and Helgium are the oiily other countries that have adopted this system, V ' and iu both of them it is well established. ' This is a logical reform, but. tlie change would involve tremendous inconvenienei'. Fancy chang ing every clock and watch dial in the United States alone. Vet what reform does not involve incon venience. Readjustment can never be an easy "pVccess in this highly complicated age. T,HE CALL FOR REAPERS. Kansas is tearing her hairwringing her hands and crying aloud in agony, for more than 40,000 men to help harvest her enormous wheat crop. Kan sas is not alone in this dilemma, many other west ern States being similarly distressed. It is safe' to assert that 200,000 men are needed and needed now. Bo the unemployed "of the Pacific coast want this work? Do the unemployed of the eastern cities want it? If they do want it, how can they be" trans, ported to the scene? One of'the problems of the, immediate future is going to consist of how to transport our unemployed from the scenes of their unemployment to places where employment awaits them, and to learn how to induce men used to the handicrafts of shops and railways to take kindly to farm labor as a temporary refuge from stnrya tion or -riot. It would be interesting, too. in this connection, to test the sincerity of some of the noisy agents of the unemployed in the East and the AVestHy offer ing free transportation to the grain fields and good pay upon arrival. Farm work comes within the range of easy utility, and any man with muscle and a -will can soon master its most difficult phases. Hut a greater problem iu sociology than how to get unemployed men to seek temporary employ ment in the grain fields at harvest time, is found in how to induce millions of the population which now-" congest the citiesas non-productive encum brances, to become small farmers, and iuteiested in farm work as proprietors. But Kansas is bleeding as usual, and tins time the harvest is white, and immense, while the reap ers are few, and the need urgent. Huntington Her ald Dispatch. THE OERIYIS JN MILK. v Living bodies, both great-aud small, are usually found' in a definite place. The bacteria found in milk are indeed a mixed collection.. The fact that certain organisms are frequently found in milk does not necessarily mean that they originate in the udder, but rather directs the search toward the focus of infection from which they find their wily into the secretion of the mammary gland, .It is known, says -Tho Journal of the American Medical Association, that while the colon group is fre quently found ifx water and milk, its natural hab itat is the intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals. The experts of the Dairy Division of'the Bureau of Animal Industry iu Washington have been invest igating the sources from which the streptococci may gain entrance! into milk. Tho foremost possi bilities are: contamination with feces, which must always be 'considered as a possible source 'of err taminatioifthc presence in the herd of one or moi cows with infected udders, and the cow's mouth. L which is known to contain streptococci. Its h'ubH of licking the flanks and udder provides a more or less direct connection between the iiioutlT of the cow and the milkpail. v 1 $mmm$Mimm 4 .i3"i--:A.ij-"pvr;'T "nfjjw ui ' tn jiiiii.-sr.i.m' ..
