What a marvelous store of wisdom has been gathered by man. No one mind and no one library can contain it all. The sum total is incalculable. It is possible that man's wisdom and knowledge is but fragmentary. Yes, it is so incomplete that fresh know ledge is accruing at an even increas ing rate. Yea, in every ' direction there are boundaries beyond which it seems impossible for man with all his wisdom to go. He can not go beyond them without a wisdom not his own. Yea, imperfect man with his partial knowledge must yet trust in a per fect God having all knowledge. The evening service at the Church of Christ begins at eight o'clock and the subject will be "Worldly Wis dom." The theme at the eleven o' clock service will be "The Lion's Koar." MILTON W.

Rocky Mountain spotted fever has existed in some portions of eastern Oregon ever since that paft of the state was first settled. The disease is transmitted to man only by the wood tick, Dermacentor venustus. It is characterized by onset with chill, continued fever, severe pain in bones and muscles, headache, and an erup tion that appears first on the wrists, ankles and back, finally covering the whole surface of the body. It is a dangerous, disease, frequently fatal and always serious. The larvae and nymphs of the wood tick feed upon small animals such as the mountain Tat, ground squirrel, wodochuck, chipmunk, etc. Trie adults feed upon domestic animals such as horses, cattle, sheep, and upon large wild animalS such as deer, bear, coy ote, and mountain goat. The virus is transmitted by both the wood tick and the rabbit tick. It is maintained by passage from stage to stage in the development of these ticks and by new lines of infection starting in previously uninfected ticks feeding on infected hosts. The wood tick is the only known agent of human infection. The rabbit tick feeds only on rabbits and game birds. Wood ticks and rabbit ticks meet in common on rabbits. Game birds by spreading rabbit ticks assist in the spread of infection. The wood tick completes its cycle in two years, feeding three times, first as larva, then as nymph, and finally as adult, feeding at each stage on a separate host. Control methods are directed against the larvae and nymphs on rodents and the adult tick on domes tic animals. The methods employed consist of rodent destruction, dipping of dofnestic animals, hand picking, restriction of grazing, and the appli cation of repellents. The prevention of Rocky Mountain spotted fever is directed mostly against the tick. Ticks are to be avoided in the infected region. If it is necessary to work where these ticks abound, the entire body and clothing should be examined twice a day for ticks. The ultimate control of tick fever depends on the suppression of the Dermacentor venustus and related ticks in infected areas. This, per haps, is not so hopeless a task as it may seem at first. A parasite that feeds upon ticks was introduced into this country in 1U26. It is too early to determine the success of the parasite in the United States. In France where this insect is native, ticks are practically exterminated in those places where the parasite is found. The serum of convalescent animals is protective. It has also been dem onstrated to have definite protective palue for man. LEGION AUXILIARY NOTES.

Commissioners Bleakman and Dav idson and Roaiimaster McCaleb drove down to Portland on Sunday in order to be in attendance at the regular monthly meeting of the state high way commission. These officials were in hopes of being able to make some arrangements with the commission looking to the surfacing of about four miles of the Heppner-Hardman highway. This would cover that part of the road leading out from Hard man towards Heppner, that has been in a badly cut up condition during the winter, and for much of the time almost impassable. We understand the commissioners had some pictures of portions of this road, bowing the tailed trucks and automobiles, as well as some stretches of the road in which the deep ruts made travel any thing but a pleasure.
