Government to,
Furnish Vaccine

Further evidence Of the govern
ment's concern over the improve.
ment of range conditions In the
National Forests is shown in the
announcement just made that
stock owners will be furnished
free of charge supplies of vaccine
for the treatment OF stock afflicted
with black leg, tuberculosis and
other animal diseases. This ar.
rangement has been made by the
Forest Service with DR.. A. d.
Melvin, chief of the Bureau of An,
imal Industry.
Stockmen holding permits for
grazing in the National Foresto
will now be furnished with an
effective means Of combating
without cost all of the most dan
gerous diseases to which stock is
subject. The vaccine can be OBJ
tanned simply by applying to the
supervisor of the Forest upon
which the stock is grazed who will
at once forward the approved re-
quest to the Bureau Of Animal In
dustry where it will be filled. Full
directions will be furnished for its
use.
n The Forest Service and the Blu
Eau of Animal Industry are work
Hlg hard IN an ,ndeavor to eradi
cate or diminish the common
forms of stock disease found on
the western ranges and their
efforts are meeting with much sue
cess. 1t is anticipated that II large
number of stockmen will avail
themselves OF this latest offer of
assistance and as result the loss
of stock will be greatly reduced
and range conditions improved.

played extraordinary discernment

that the class of people who in

culated to appreciate wonderful
piece of mechanism like cuckoo
clock, be sent it to our Office in
order that its merits might be
seen and enjoyed by our numer
Gus and intelligent clientele. The

Body Found
Nsar Thatcher

The body of Mexican was
found half a mile south of the
gravel pits near Thatcher last Fri
day afternoon. As there were no
marks of violence on the corpse,
it is believed the deceased expirco
from natural causes superinduced
by acute alcoholism. None of the
Mexicans ut the gravel pit knew
him, but some Of them claimed to
have seen him hanging around
town the past few days. In bis
pocket was found letter, ad'
dressed to canon Macorri," and it
is presumed this was the name OF
the dead man. A coroner's jury
was empaneled and verdict rem
dered that the deceased came tc
his death through excessive drink
ing. He was buried by the loca
officers.

Principal Pete rson of the Acad.
emy delivered an impressive ad.
dress. He dwelt upon his
experiences in Chicago during the
past summer, and stated that he
was very glad indeed to be back
home again, where fellowship, ac-
quaintance and good feeling are
universal. In a large city like
Chicago it is difficult to make ac.
quaintances and the one thought
uppermost in the minds of all
seems to be to make great effort
to corner the dollar. No other
question interests the people and
all higher interests are lost sight
of in the race for money. Here at
home the people are striving to
live in fellowship and unity and to
acquire knowledge and salvation.

Some of our citizens have been some
what disturbed the past week concerning
rumors relative to the affairs of the Beld-
ing. Hall Manufacturing company and the
possibility Of the plant being closed down

to the business interests of the city as
we'll.
The Bedding, Hall Manufacturing Co.

of dollars every month with no cessation
from business except for vacations or a

4 sorry Picture.

1--WE would like to see one country in
one of the states Of the great south west
settled entirely by the mail order people
and see what would happen said a
banker in Missouri recently. The stores
would stand it as long as they could, then
move away. Banks would close their
doors. The newspaper would have to
quit. The hotels would go out of BUSH
ness, the mechanics move away schools
and churches dwindle, sidewalks go to
wreck, buildings would become vacant,
implanted and dilapits ted, strangers
would take one look and flee. Isn't that
precisely what would happen if the entire
country were populated with people who
bought everything in Chcago9 Who
would buy farm so located that he
couldn't drive to some sort of town? A
sane man wouldn't take such land at half
price"
