Department The situation is summed UP
in the following forcfble terms:
There are times when vigorous language is
in order. There is not the slightest danger that
anyone Will condemn too harshly the seeming in
efficiency that has been responsible for the hid
eous treatment to which our brave soldiers have
been subjected.

Rev. Dean Has Resigned.

Rev. John NJ. Dean, pastor of the
Baptist church, who came here one
year ago last winter to do evangelistic
work and, after successful revival in
the Baptist church, accepted call to
become pastor of the church, rendered
his resignation to the church last Thurs
day evening, the same to take effect the
first of August. Rev. Deans congrega-
tion are sorry to lose him. He has
certainly performed good work for
the church during his short pastorate
The church has increased in numerical
strength and zeal, under Rev. Deans
administration, and is in better condition
in all respects than it has been for
years. Mr.. Dean, although young
man, is an able preacher and hard
worker. When his connections with
the Baptist church are severed he will
take up evangelistic work again. Mr..
Dean looks upon his stay here as vaca-
tion from the more arduous work of an
evangelist.

BUTTER AND CHEESE FACTORY.
Machinery All Set-Will be Ready for
Operation To-Morrow.

The Rcynodsville butter and cheese
factory will be ready to begin work to-
morrow, Thursday. We visited the
factory several days ago and we're shown
around by Mr.. Treat, who Is here to
get the plant in working order. At
the front of the building is the receiv-
ing room whore all the milk will be
weighed. In this room is a five beam
scale and six hundred pound can
The next is the main working room. In
this room is four hundred gallon milk
receiving vat, which is connected by
pipe with the weigh room; three hun
dred gallon cheese curdling vat: two
cheese presses, a large and small one;
separator with capacity of $500 pounds
per hour: tempering tank; two milk
pumps: water force pump. The first
room to the right from main room is
the churn room. In this is two hun
dred and fifty gallon churn; three
hundred gallon twin cream vat; one
butter worker. OF from this room is
the cold storage or refrigerator with
ice rack and water pan. The second
door to right from main room is the
cheese curing room with sixteen shelves
1t takes from twenty to sixty days to
cure cheese. In the engine room Is a
ten-horse power engine and twelve
horse power boiler. There are steam
and water connections through the en-
tire building.
The wagons that haul the milk to the
factory can dispose Of the milk at the
front of the building and drive around
to the right hand side and open a
spigot and load up with skinned milk.
There is no doubt but this can be
made to be paying industry. The
capacity of the factory is twelve thou
sand pounds per day. The only thing
that can cripple the factory would be
the supply of milk to keep it running,
and as number of farmers are interest
ed in the industry there is little danger
of this happening

ANTHRAX BROKE OUT AGAIN.
A Cow Died Here Last Week-Numbei
of Cows Vaccinated.

Anthrax, disease that makes its ap-
pearance during summer months, has
broken out again in this place. This
scourge is peculiar to South American
countries and is most fatal, but is par
ticularly destructive to cattle. The
disease made its appearance at Falls
Creek last summer annd four men and
quite number of cattle died with it
at that time. 1t is presumed that the
disease was brought to Falls Creek with
imported hides. All people or cattle
that die from anthrax should be Gre
mated, as the germs will get to the sur
face again II buried. A number of
cattle also died at Pancoast, Reynolds
vile and BrOokville. which shows that
the germs were carried in the waters of
the Sandy Lick. Some of the cattle
that died above this place last summer
were buried near the banks of the Sandy
Lick creek.
Several weeks ago a COW died at
Brookville, the first of last week one
died at Pancoast and last Thursday
Addison Gray's COW died at this place,
Anthrax caused the death of these cows.
The cows had been pasturing on low
lands near the Sandy Lick creek. All
three of the cows were cremated.
The only precautlon that can be talk
en- against this dread disease, which
requires years to eradicate. is vaccin-
alton. People having cows to vaccinate
can have the work done free by notify
ing DR.. F. f. Hoffman, of Brookville,
who is employed by the State Depart
ment to perform the work. DR.. Hoff-
man was here several days last week
and vaccinated quite number of cows.
The State Department claims that the
vaccine will not effect the cows milk
and that people who care to can use the
milk continuously after the COW is vac
cinated. The vaccine will be preven-
tive against the disease from six months
to year.
