Control of Hog Cholera.

The Control of Hog Cholera" is
the subject of a very valuable bull
letin prepared by DR.. J. w. Gonna
way, professor of Comparative Med
icine and Veterinarian of the Mis-
souri, Agriculture Station College of
Agriculture, University of Missouri.
This bulletin has just been issued
by the Missouri State Board of Ag-
riculture, and may be had free by
addressing Secretary George B. Ellis
Columbia, Mo.
DR.. Connaway is a native Missou-
ian and is today generally recOg-
nized as the greatest living authori-
ty on cholera He not only knows
what he is writing about, but he
tells what he knows in such a plain
easily-understood way that the
reader IS not left to wonder or to
guess at the meaning. During the
last few months more than 5000
hogs have been treated by the
minimizing serum" land of this
number IS per cent have been
saved. The only trouble has been
that DR.. Connaway has not been
able to meet the demands for the
serum, but with increased facilities
he will be able to attend to larger
per cent, Of calls.
In his latest bulletin DR.. Gonna
way has fully described every symp-
tom of hog cholera that any farmer
after reading the description, will
be able to readily recognized the
disease. There are also a number
of good illustrations which serve to
make palmer, if possible, the text.
One of the best features of the
bulletin is the strong. common
sense side. Effective as is the rem
edy used by DR.. Connaway, farm
ers are urged not to rely entirely
upon it, but the necessity of proper
measure for prevention and control
is pointed out. Were there other
reasons why such a bulletin should
have been issued, this one alone is
sufficient; If every Missouri farmer
will follow the suggestions made in
DR.. Connaways bulletin and when
necessary make use of the i'm
serum" it will mean saw
ing of thousands, perhaps millions
of dollars, annually.

FAYORS COMMISSION
FORM OF GOVERNMENT

Little Rock, Nov 19.--J. II. Ten
ney of Fort Smith, one of the three
commissioners in the paving and sew
er district, which includes the entire
city of Fort Smith, is in favor of the
commission form of government for
cities, and believes his town should
take as much of a try at the PROPOSE
ton as permitted to do under the act
which allows the town to extend its
territory. Commissioner Tenney has
been in Little Rock for several days
attending to personal business, and it
was in discussing the blanket improve
ment at Fort Smith that he expressed
himself on the commission form of
government He says his town now
has Ii aldermen representing an area
as large as the city of Little Rock
since the city limits We're extended to
take in much adjacent territory. Com
missioner Tenney thinks under the law
as il stands these IL aldermen could
be spplanted by four men, one from
each Of four districts of the Greater
Fort Smith, and the city could pay
them a sufficient sum to devote their
entire time TO the affairs of the city.
He believes the next legislature will
be asked to pass an act permitting the
cities Of the state TO have a commits

HOLD MORTON TREASURER POSTMASTER IS PUZZLED
GENERAL NORWOOD
SAILS UNIVERSITY FUNDS
GO TO HIM.

Little Rock, Nov. 10 Attorney
General Norwood this morning rem
dered an opinion in which State Treas
urer Yates is instructed to recognize
Treasurer Morton of the board of
trustees of the University of Arkan-
sas, as the authorized treasurer of the
board. This places Morton in charge
of the cash box and gives him the best
hold on the office. Allen, who claims
the office through an election held at
the first meeting of the present board
of trustees in which Morton received
the majority of votes on the first bal
lot and Allen on the last, Attorney
General Norwood delivered an opinion
some months ago in which he declared
Allen was not the duly elected treas
urer, but Morton would have to oust
him by law. A suit was recently filed
at Fayetteville and decided in favor
of Morton, and the case will be ap-
pealed. Allen, who has been acting as
treasurer because his bond was ap-
proved and not that of Morton, pre-
sented a warrant drawn on the Nor
rell fund yesterday and Treasurer
Yates decided to make safe by ask
ing whether he should pay it to Allen
as treasurer or not. Attorney General
Norwood informed Treasurer Yates
Morton is the treasurer of the Uni
yersity toard of trustees and has been
in possession of the office all the time.
