Back in 1S9S Surgeon Gen. Dr. George M. Sternberg
of the United States army warned the army gathering
for the SpanishrAnierican war that files would carry
typhoid in crowded camps. .His warnings wore some-
what neglected. Camp latrines were left exposed and
every single sick soldier's discharges were thus a chanco'
for flies to pick up and carry to others the germs of
typhoid. Surgeon Veeder of the army notes that flies
simply swarmed over fecal matter In the refuse pits
and then hastened oyer to the mess tents to walk on
the soldiers food. So every regiment in the army de-
veloped typhoid.
Im our national encampments in 1898 one fifth of. the
soldiers developed typhoid. While water was. partly to
blame the doctors have determined that . the fly was
tho chief agent for the terrible spread of dtease.

FIEBCE BATTLE
AT
Here is a cheerful and seasonable suggestion from tho
Waco Tribune which can be applied to every section of
this state just at this time and all should take the Tri-
bune's view of tho situation: "The Tribune ie never a
pessimist about the resources and possibilities of this
grahd Central Texas country the. section that this paper
is proud to call "home." If the soil anywhere in Texas
will yield reward for labor here is the place. ' We al-
ways make something no matter how limited or how
scant the rain. But lack of rain has its legitimate
effects here as elsewhere and so It Is not wise to ignore
actual conditions. There has been lack of rain lately
A drouth Is not on not yet But rain is needed for corn
in particular and unless adequate rainfall comes in this
section within five to ten days (according to conditions
in localities) it is evident that the com yield will be
virtually a failure. That is the outlook today and It Is
as well to face it squarely. And now let us be cheerful
and hope the needed rain will come in time It is by no
means consoling to know that our condition is not excep-
tional. If our people cannot make sufficient corn we

Crops Look Well
The Agricultural Department estimates that 1.5S6.000
more acres have been put in cotton this year than were
devoted to that crop last year. ThlB year's acreage is
put at 35004000 which Is an increases of 4.7 per cent
In Texas the increase is put at 5 per cent. The condi
tion of the crop for the country as a whole is 87.8 as
against 82 last year The condition of the Texas crop is
put at 88 which is 08 better than at an equal date last
year. For the country as a whole the crop is estimated
to be 42 per cent hotter than at the same time last year.
but this estimate of the crop's condition was made tvo
weeks "ago. It has probably deteriorated The acreage'
estimate affords little promise to the bears in cotton i
Even with an ordinarily fair season vit is not llkelv that
35000000 acres will yield in excess of thirteen million'
bales If that much and tho world with its meager sur-'
plus can absorb thirteen millions bales at a pretty
stiff price. An era of cheap cotton seems as remote
now as. it seemed two years ago. Dallas News.
Lon Hammer who is out over tne
country a great deal reports crops
holding up remarkably well. Ho says
that feed crops and cotton are stilt
growing and that with rain in the!
next ten days the country will make!
a bumper crop. Cotton is the finest
the country. has ever had so far. It
is rich in color and growing every day
Such reports are very encouraging in
the face of the Continued dry weath-
er. .
The Dallas Kews Is calling on tho city of Dallas to
bore at least four more' artesian wellB The News ad-
vised the boring of twenty wells in that city two years
ago Dallas would not bo In tho shape Bho 1b in now if
tho recommendation had been followed. The Roporter
will never ho satisfied until Abilene puts down a well
and goes until Bho strikes something worth while. It
lg pretty hard to make us believe that wo havo not got
something valuable down In Mother Earth if wo" only
50 after it.
It was a llttlo peculiar that Nature should glvo the
City o'f Mexico a shaking up Just as Madoro entered her
"borders. The ovation accorded Madero speaks in po un-
certain tonea of tho Reeling that prevails In tht land
regarding the success of tho revolution Many rumors
are still afloat regarding the lack of loyalty to tho Made-
ro government by federal troops and officers of the fed-
eral army. It -will take quite while of course to re-
store perfect order but tne die is caat and the old order
of things mut go A new Mexico along very differ-
ent lines is to come forth from the refining.
Sweetwater seems determined to "Lay on McDuff"
and contend for the Orient shops to the length breadtfi
and depth of tho courts of the land. As has been said
In these columns before The Reporter Is Inclined to be-
Hovo( that Sweetwater is Justly entitled to those dispu-
ted railroad equipments but Abilono had an experience

ago and tho result wan such to cause her to' rloniif
