IlED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, OHM i f it :' DISEASE CAME FROM EUROPE No Record Of, or Nnme for, Malnrla, Has Dcen Found Among the American Indians. The slow diseases which Him vitality tlo not have spoctnctilnr teciiiR hut In the long run the damage which Ihcy do Is Incalculably greater tliiui that of epidemics, writes Herbert .1. Kplndeii In the Wotld'rt Work. Mnlarlu, for Instance, Is a greater obstacle to day to the development of the tropica than yellow fever ever was, although the latter could accomplish much at one fell swoop. For one thine the effects of malaria reach around tho Klohe and Into neatly all Its haltltahle parts. The three kinds of malaria are de scribed by the (Irook physician Hip liocratcs nml the names which we use today are of ltonian orleln. The two-day fever Is called tertian, or third, I)cc'iuis6' "the Homans counted both ends of any numerical sequence, and the three-day fever Is called quar tan, which means fourth. There Is no good evidence that malnrla ex isted In America before the discovery. ,Vc do not find terms for It In Anted 'can Indian language "or ' we flnd nny records that the early explorers In Central and South America suffered from this disease. For Instance Cortes led nn army across the base of tho peninsula of Yucatan, through a re gion of swamps and flooded streams where today malaria Is rife In every village, yet we find no mention of this Illness anion any of his troops or In dian burden benrer.s. CAN GO LONG WITHOUT FOOD Healthy Human Being, Drinking Plen ty of Water, Will Survive Fait of Forty Days. Somu weeks into a pig disappeared from Its sty on a Cornish farm. Search was made, but the. cieature could not be found, and was Riven up for lost. Twenty-four days later a man pass ing an old mlneshaft beard something below, and made a search. There was poor piggy, some thirty feet down, iulte unhurt, and It was speedily got out. It was thin, but otherwise not a bit the worse, nml at once started feeding ravenously, says London Answers. It takes a long time to starve u fat pig, which can actually lose half Its weight before It dies. Most full-grown animals can go without food for a long time, and can lose as much as two llfths of their weight before succumb ing. An exception Is the mole, which, when deprived of food, starves to death In less than -IS hours. A healthy human being can fast 40 days If he or she takes plenty of wa ter. A case Is on record of a wom an going -1.1 days without fowl, during which time her weight decreased from 1411 to Oil pounds. Children cannot fast for long with out fatal consequences. They collapse after a fast of three to the days, and lose ii quarter of their weight. SiuiKes, of course, are the champion tasters. The big python In the zoo recent l. went more than two years without a meal. Nov to Get Used to Noises. "What 1 like about the neighbor hood," Insisted the enthusiastic resi dent of Brooklyn Heights, "Is the quiet. No trolleys, no elevated roar, no heavy trucks thundering through our streets, no sound from the subway. Why, I think " "Just a minute," objected ills friend from across the bridge. "You live so near the bulbar that our back door Is virtually a dock, and yet you liuvo the nerve to tell me that yours Is u quiet neighborhood.

HOW BANKER-FARMER EXCHANGE PLAN AIDS BETTER AGRBGULTUR Buyers and Sellers Brought Together by Field Experts Who Secure Square Deal for Both Parties Quality of Farm Products Improved. Dy D. H. OTIS, Agricultural Director, American Bankers Association. JFjk D. H. Otis M. 8mlth, now chairman of tho Agricultural Commission ot tho Amorlcan Bankers Association. To got It started, bankers ot Wisconsin ubacrlbod to a guarantee fund of $10,000, covering a porlod ot two years. After throo years of operation, dur ing which time there has been oppor tunity to glvo Uio plan a thorough test, the Exch.tngo has been found to bo an actual and a distinct help to farmers, and, Incidentally, to tho banks of farming communities. How the Exchange Works The Idea Is worked out as follows: Any farmer In the state who has any grade or pure-bred livestock for salo, can step Into tho bank whoro ho does his banking business, and, on blanks furnished to the bank, can list what he has to offer, giving the num bor, age, color, records, prlco, etc. Any farmer, on tho other hand, who wishes to purchaso n horse or a cow, or oven a carload ot stock, can notify his banker ot the kind and number of stock ho wishes. Thoso listings aro sent to a central office, whoro tho prospective purchaser Is put In touch with the listings of stock tor sale that come nearest to mooting his require ments, and which aro situated as closo as possible to his locality. With the development of the work ot the Exchango, we found that there was a large number ot Inquiries com ing In for carload lots ot Improved dairy cattlo. In ordor to handle these buyers efficiently, It was necessary to secure reliable field men. This was done by getting la touch with local banks and having the banker recom mend a reliable man who was a good Judge ot stock, who was well acquaint ed with the farmers and commanded their respect, and who was In a posi tion to moot buyers with his automo bile and take them from farm to farm, show them the stock that was for sale, and, when found satisfactory by the buyer, help In assembling, testing and shipping. The Services of Field Men Theso Held men aro Vvpcctud to keep posted on the livestock far sale In their respectlvo communities, They aro to steer tho buyers away from herds that are knowji to bo affected AMERICA TE WORLD'S TRUST COMPANY TODAY By THEODORE G. SMITH, President, Trust Company Division, American Bankers Association The trust com panies ot tho United Statos are custodians ot nearly thirteen billion dollars ot assets to be used In advancing In dustry, commerce and trade. This word "trust" means something more than n term Theo. G. Smith ot trade. It indicates trustworthiness and responsibility. It measures tho vast contldonco which millions ot citi zens repose In Institutions that can he trusted. It Is well, occasionally, to ask our--solves what life Implies, what our per gonal and corporate lifo Implies. It is wholesome, at such a tlmo as this In human affairs, when tho world hears many expressions ot lack ot confi dence, when distrust and sorrow are speakltiR loudly In economic, social and political lite, to remember that t lie re aro soma mon nnd some Institu tions that are and can bo trusted. Tho note of trust cannot bo too loudly lounded In the entlro world today. America Is the world's Trust Com pany at present. Sho Is the world'j largest creditor. nil that Imposes an outstaiidliiK res;t)nBlblllty Our crcd i'or position-Is u 111 new to us, but after govt ml years ot It we are ablo to perceive that U'vlng changed from a great lnturnRtlo.nl debtor to the Kreatent lnternatlou.il creditor calU for Honu'thlng moir than complacent reliance on our new position. What is most ucd d at this mo nt is a Kemr.il c nv!ctlon; such n- Individual bvihcr mint always keep In mind In h! deillnrs as crod Itor, that It Is a creditor's duty to keep hl3 credit "t.nd. to keep his debtor solvent, to help maintain bus luosu as "a liotng i corn." Kuropo I. of va.iio to us only as Europe Is a Koln concern. Tho only way Europe's debt can be liquidated Is through continuance In business. "i s In.olves pnlitlcil nnd soeu.l re liabllltation as well as economic. To this rehabilitation It Is Anicrca's duty is creditor to contribute. TUt adjustment ot International la- I aHi J JS m Tho raising of first class cattle and tho planting of puro-brod seeds tako but little, If any, moro tlmo than Inforlor cattlo nnd Inferior seeds. With Improved live stock nnd dependable seed tho earnings ot tho farmer aro sure to Incrcaso ln.volumo and valuo. That thought was tho fororunner of tho Banker-Farmer Exchango Idea, a plan by which tho banker might aid tho farmer toward tho possession of better cattlo and tho production of better crops and find a ready markot for his surplus. The Banker-Farmer Exchango plan was proposed In 1919 by tho Agricultural Commltteo of the Wisconsin Bankers Association, of which tho chairman was Burton with tuborculoBls, or that havo con tagious abortion. In other-' words, these field men aro expected to glvo a square deal to both the sollor und tho buyor. For the, services rendered by the Banker-Farmer Exchange, in cluding tho services ot the field man and his automobile, tho buyer pays a 5 per cent commission. ThlB conimls slon Is divided equally with tho locol field man. During 1022, tho Exchango experi enced n marked growth. It had in quiries for over 12,000 head of dairy cattlo, an Increase of 50 per cent over the preceding year Tho records show 58 carloads sold, as compared with 23 carloads In 1921. Of these, nlno car loads went to tho stato of Maryland, eight to Illinois, four each to Ohio and Minnesota, three each to Iowa, North Dakota and Missouri, two each to Montana. South Dakota, Florida, Mis sissippi and Canada, and one each to Washington, Michigan, Indiana, Geor gia, Now York and Kansas. The bal anco wero sold to parties In Wisconsin. Sales Greatly Increased The value of tho livestock sold dur ing tho year amounted to 115,575, as compared with 137.092 In 1921. Tho business transacted during the year showed an increase of over 165 per cent An encouraging feature of tho work Is found In the repeat orders. Buyers seem to be pleased with the service thoy have received and are not only coming back themselves, but are re ferring others to the Exchange. Another encouraging feature of the work Is the Increased Interest that Is developing In the state. Parties are writing tho Exchange tor bulls with records and of certain llno3 of breed; Ing, nnd aro nlso writing for cows and heifers of foundation stock.

SIX REASONS FOR THE v BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS First: A boy or girl adopting a modern prncttco has from 40 to CO years to use It as against 20 years for tho averago man who adopts a new practice. Second: Boys and plrls are moro easily Influenced to take up the new mothods ndvocntec, by tli Agricul tural Colleges than ire adult t Third: More bo. s and rlrls c.i ho reached than can adult ! hi d mauds are not quite o .mt mon their tlmo nnd they can b. r-.nlily formed Into clubs. Fourth: By rauhlin t!i. K; ni;d girls, the adults nro reach- d ut tho snmd time so that the results obtalnod in chanslng tho agricultural practices of cnmmunltlos are very gre-it.
