ping Any stock.

Stock farmers in YankLon and Clay
counties are having a great deal Of
trouble at the present time with
anthrax in cattle. DR.. S. M. Smith,
Of this city. a federal Inspector Of
cattle and other stock, is in Yankton
at the present time with DR.. Hicks,
the state veterinarian, looking afttr
the conditions. The officials have
placed a quarantine on all horses,
cattle, hogs. and sheep in Yankton
and Clay counties and for thirty
days none Of these animals will be
permitted to be shipped out.
The disease Is prevalent among
stock in the vicinity Of Vermillion,
Gayville. James River, Wakonda,
Mission Hill, Violin, and as far
north as Centerville. The veteri-
narians recommend that on the
death of the animal that 1t be
burned up Immediately, that is on
the spot where it drops, fer the
reason that there is then no chance
to spread the disease by hauling it
through the country.
The veterinarians are vaccinating
the animals as fast as possible bit
in many cases the vaccine does
not save the animals for they we're
too far gone with the disease. 1t
is reported that 10 head of horses
and cattle have died on farms in the
vicinity of Mission Hill. Gayville
and Meckling. The veterinarians
stated that they thought with a
strict quarantine the disease could
be driven out within thirty days.

hardly. be worthwhile to make a
trip out Through the country. Last
year there was a shortage Of chick
ems, due to another reason-because
OF the early hunters getting out and
killing the young birds. This year
the scarcity is due to the excessive
rainfall in May and....June, when the
birds were on their nests. The
nests Of the chickens were washed
away in all the low places and it re-
NAMED wet for so long that the
chickens crop will be short. The
shortage Of the chickens has lead
the hunters in this vicinity to dis.
cuss the proposition to urge the
sportsmen to aviod the shooting of
chickens for q couple OF years to give
them a chance to propagate and in
crease their numbers for TIE future
years Of sport. 1t is possible that
this movement will be taken up and
secure the support OF it by the
hunters and induce all men to observe
the custom. Hunters coming up
into this section of the state for the
beginning of the season will only be
disappointed in their efforts to do
any shooting for chickens. In
several towns down in Douglas and
Charles Mix counties, it is reported
that prairie chickens are being
served on hotel tables three weeks
before the law is out.

Daniel Werner had decreed that his

Of his daughters a career which, in
the estimation of MI. Werner, was the
infallible antidote for romance.
To all Of this his daughters openly
subscribed-and inwardly rebelled. For
Margaret, who had q commanding fig

Of the law. Had Margaret been al
lowed to choose for herself, she would
have studied sociology and gone down
into the slums to save the souls of lit
tie children.
For Janet, who looked like his Uncle
Ezra. a noted upstate physician, he
chose medicine. Janet crawled under
the bed on Fourth Of July and turned
white and sick at the sight Of blood,
but If there was anything in physical
resemblance she would outgrow these
foolish ideas and surely she was he1

For Lucille, because Of her dreamy
nature and studious air, he chose
music. She looked the musician-and
therefore she could become one. He
did not know that her dreams were all
woven around baby faces and the one
music for which she would ever care
vas a lullaby.
Having thus arrogated the privileges
and responsibilities of fate, he pro
ceeded to earn the money necessary to
provide the careers-and Cupid sat
back and laughed. This is the sort of
task that appeals to Dan Cupid.
