CONTROL NEED
SEEN BY STATE
HEALTH AGENTS
The tret difficulty with many
of the problem of disease preven
tion lies In the Inability of the
health authorities to do much about
them, says a bulletin of the state
board of health. When the condition
can be subjected to more control
the matter Is then comparatively
easy. Supervision of the water sup
plies has almo&t eliminated typhoid.
Vaccination for smallpox has rob
bed this disease of Its terror. Inoc
culatlon of young children has tre
mendously reduced the death rate
from diphtheria. Indifference, more
than lack of knowledge causes many
Heedless deaths annually.
Refusing to recognize the rreat
detecting ability of a regular phys
ical examination, people ignore it.
As a consequence thrre are thou
sands of needless deaths annually.
And what is true regarding the thou
an da of cases of preventable
disease disability and death Is path,
etically applicable to the frightful
toll of life to which American mo
thers are being annually subjected.
Sixteen thousand women In the
United States die from causes re
lated to maternity; ten thousand of
these should not have succumbed.
Throughout the United States for
every one thousand children born
six mothers lose their lives. In Hol
land and Denmark the risk is only
one half as great. lst year 13.415
children were bom In Oregon and
seventy-eight mothers lost their liv
es In childbirth. Oregon was one of
the first ttates In the country to
give special Instruction to expectant
mothers and it would be a profitable
investment to the state to increase
this service to Include special care
for expectant mothers of limited
means throughout the state.
Adequate care for mothers-to-be
consists of regular medical super
vision, before, during and after the
baby's birth. The mothers that have
such care have three times the
chance of coming through safely as
the mothers who simply drift along
without medical supervision. Phys
icians are glad to give such care to
expectant mothers In their own
practice but very often the mothers
neglect to secure it.
Proper living habits advised by a
careful doctor together with the help
or a public health nurse should be
the program from the first knowl
edge of pregnancy through the
whclc nine montlis.
2,731,000 Sheep and
Lambs in Oregon
Oregon Is herder of 2,731,000 sheep
and lambs, according to a United
States livestock census report.
The herd was Increased from 2,
576.000 on ranges here in 1930. The
state has 106 per cent of the 1930
lambs and sheep.
In 11 western states, there are
39.287,00 this year or 1033 per cent
or me 1930 crop, the report snirt.
YOUNG CIRCUS RIDER WITH
AL G. BARNES CIRCUS
LITERALLY BORN IN ARENA
THREE C IRCVS BABIES
Miss Bessie Belmont, 2 years o!d
and pretty, declared to be one of
the most remarkable circus riders
of this or any other generation, like
practically all other performers of
the "white tops" was literally born
In the arena. Miss Belmont repre
sents the fourth generation of a
famous circus family, all of whom
are riders. The laws of the circus
are peculiar. Indeed it would be
considered an unpardonable offense
for a performer to marry outside his
or her calling, consequently the
children have no opportunity to
choose any other calling.
The Al G. Barnes circus will ex
hibit in Salem on Saturday, May
23.
The boys and girls of the Al O.
Barnes circus number a score. The
training of the.se children begins
almost at birth. In the vast major
ity of cases there is the powerful
effect of heredity, uhich exercises
an Influence upon the child and
helps It to overcome obstacles to
others well-nigh impossible. The
chief effort Is to create courage and
daring. The nueles must be devel
oped and the lungs expanded, but
at the same time the brain must not
be neglected. Many a gymnast has
mental abilities often lacking In
the ordinary man. He has to under
sand some geometry and mathe
matics, else how can he calculate
the exact distance of a Jump, a fall,
or a somersault.
The Al G. Barnes circus Is among
the foremast circus institutions In
the world. One thousand and 80
employes travel with the show, and
more than twelve acres of land arc
required for the "tented City".
I Three special trains of double
length cars are required to trans
port the show from city to city.
There are 4000 animals In the show
and this does not include three
great herds of elephants. There are
superb concert bands to furnish
music for the circus-goers, and
twice daily at 1 and 7 p. m. Prof.
Redrlck and his Military band of 25
soloists will give a free concert.
Doors to the menagerie open at
1 and 7 p. m., the big show perform
ances start at 2 and 8 p. m.
Aurora Firemen To
riay Hubbard Team
Aurora Members of the Aurora
fire department had a surprise
Monday evening following a drill
when Chief Dewey Miller told them
to get into their cars and follow him.
The trail Ir-d to the heme of Mr.
and Mrs. William Asqulth, where
a luncheon had been prepared.
During the recrnt high winds the
Asquith home caught on fire and
was saved by the local firemen and
the A.squiths took this means of
showing their appreciation.
Play Is Presented
Keizcr A play was given at the
Keizer school house Thursday eve
ning at 8 o'clock by the North
Howell grange players entitled
'Beads on a String." The K e i z e r
elnb gave a play at North Howell
recently.

the Orchard Heights road this week,

WATER PROJECTS
THROUGH COUNTY
SHOW INCREASE
Dallas Development of Individ
ual Irrigation projects by farmers
of the county la going ahead rapid
ly. County Agent J. H. Beck re
ports that within the past several
days a number of farmers have
called on him to help lay out their
projects.
T. J. Werth of Valley Juncton Is
purchasing a pump and canvas hose
for ue in pumping water on to an
already growing alfalfa field. The
field was not leveled for flood ir
rigation so Werth is resorting to
the use of hose to distribute the
water about the field. J. H. Pat
terson, whose place Is on the upper
reaches of Gold creek, Irrigates by
gravity and does not use any pump.
A small dam diverts the water from
the creek on to his land. Patterson
is planning on developing an ad
ditional field this year and last
week Beck was called out to set
the grade stakes for the ditch.
J. O. Campbell of Perrydale al
ready has a meadow consisting ol
alfalfa, Ladlno clover and grasses
which he Irrigated in 1930 for cow
pasture. This was so successful
that Campbell Is Just now com
pleting leveling for an additional
ten acres which rvlll be seeded in
the Immediate future. The first
meadow was seeded before irriga
tion was proposed and consequently
was not entirely level but the ten
acres to be seeded this season will
be laid out In lands with levees be
tween so that flood Irrigation can
be practiced successfully. Last Sat
urday morning Campbell called
Beck in to set the levels for the
ditches and levees on this tract
which Is almost completed.
Herman Van Well of the Salt
Creek community, while in Dallas
last week reported that the grass
and clover on their Irrigated field
Is growing fine and that they in
tend to increase the acreage in the
near future. They are very pleas
ed with this lirst small acreage
which was developed last year. C.
w. Brandstetter of Mill creek nas
been pasturing his acreage which
was started In 1630 and Is now pre
paring an additional acreage which
will be Irrigated this year, uranu
btctter is another one thot Is able
to use gravity for irrigation. The
water Is diverted by means of a
ditch from Mill Creek.
W. O. Morrow, Just east of Hkk
reall, has seeded a fmall acreage
right along side of the highway
which hp plans on using for irri
gated pasture or his purebred Jer
sey herd. This field has been lev
eled with a Icvce running through
the center of It so as to facilitate
flooding which will be from water
pumped out of the LaCreole.
These are a group of the Indi
vidual Irrigation projects that are
being developed in various parts of
Polk county and are indicative of
what these farmers are following
in producing green pasture for their
dairy herds in the not, dry months'
of the summer.

SAFETY URGED
IN HANDLING OF
ELECTRIC IRON
If you're thinking of buving a
home this year, be sure Its lafe.
Such Is the warning of itate of
ficials to Oregonians who plan to
take advantage of present lov prices
for homes and buy one of their own.
On the porch or bvement of the
safe home, is an electrl; Iron or an
Ironing boa.cl, It was pointed out
The iron connects with a little red
pilot lamp which burns as long as
the current Is on.
This warning eliminates a hazard
causing thousands of lilts each
year.
It was recommended that the
ironing board be placed on a wood
en platform. Not only is it un
healthful for the housewife to stand
on a cold concrete floor while iron
ing, but there was also the risk of
severe or fatal shock should the
concrete become damp. Similar pre
