Saving Missouri Hogs.

The College of Agriculture inocu'
lated 10000 hogs during the past
year. Eighty.tive per cent OF these
hogs were saved. At conservativ
estimate, the work of the College has
added $JOO,OOO In cash to the re-
sources Of Missouri In this item alone
In one year.
The College Is now inoculating
1000 hogs a month. We are not ye,
able to supply the demand for hoy
cholera serum. A new laboratory
used exclusively for making this ST.
rum Is now being built to meet this
rapidly increasing demand.
The stimated annual loss result
ing from hoy cholera In Missouri Is
q, 800, 900. 1t is confidently expected
that the work of the College will In
time stamp out this dread scourge
and by so doing add this large sum
annually to the wealth of the state.

A Quaker had his house broken
into by a burglar and several val
uables stolen. He did not inform
the police, however, but kept the
affair to himself.
The following evening a neigh
Dor remarked to him: 81 am sorry
to hear of your house being rob
bed, Mr.. Fry. 1 hope your loss is
not heavy?
"Friend," said the Quaker, chou
must know the extent of my loss as
well as l can do since thou art the
burglar. i spoke not to a soul Of
what had happened, and thou art
the first to mention it to me; hence
1 know thou art the burglar and
viii trouble thee for my property"
He got It.

PLAYING Blind.

This is a funny little stunt en-
joyed alike by old and young. If
one has never tried it it is very
amusing to find anything with your
eyes shut or to judge distances.
First place a piece of paper on
the floor before you, shut your eyes,
walk backward two steps. then try
to walk on the paper and pick it up.
Then stick a pin the wall about four
feet up and try to pick it of blind
folded. Stand about five or six feet
away from a table, shut your eyes,
then try to walk up to it without
knocking against it. = Woman's
World.

NursesirI Test Questions IN a New
York Employment Bureau.
The employment agents first
question put Wilhelmina to the
blush.
'Been breaking any more look
ing glasses lately?" be asked.
Wilhelmina had not.
'KnoW what she did ?" the agent
went on. Accidentally let a kid
that she was taking care Of get
look at himself in a forty-fve dol
lar mirror and turned around and
smashed it to keep him from dy-
ing inside Of six months. Fact.
That insured Wilhelmina a Job for
two months, because she didn't have
the money to pay for the glass, and
the folks had to let her stay and
work it out"
The agent laughed and went on
to relate something else about the
superstitions Of nursemaids.
'sThe severest test nursegirls are
subjected to in this Office is in re-
gard to their superstitions," he
said. 1--WE submit a list of ques-
tons to which we usually receive
truthful answers, because the girl
who is at all superstitious is so very
supeFstitious that she is afraid to
deny her superstition.
'Do you think baby Will die if he
looks in the glass? Is it dangerous
to trim his finger nails instead Of
biting them of? Is it good luck to
fasten his clothes with a crooked
pin2 Must one stocking be worn
inside out to scare away evil spirits?
"Those and a score more of ques-
tions on baby superstitions are put
to every applicant for a position as
nurse, and on the answers depends
the kind of place she gets. Fami-
lies who have outgrown superstition
do not want a superstitious maid,
but as there are plenty of parents
who still cling to all those old be-
Iiefs the girls with funny notions
can easily got a job."-New York

What Red Cross Seals are; How
They are Used; First Supply
Here Sold; More now on Way

~ The first consignment of Red
i Cross Christmas stamps for Be-
midi have been sold by mer-
chants here, under the supervis-
ion of the Woman Study club.
More stamps have been ordered
and are expected tomorrow. The
seals, Or stamps, are sold at a
. penny each and the money thus
obtained is used to fight tubercu-
losis. The government permits
such stamps to be placed on the
back of all mailable articles.
Business men and others are
using these seals On their mail
Of all kinds. They may be used
on the face of checks, On bills, on
legal documents, and on CONNER
cial papers of all kinds. Every
seal is described as a bullet in
the battle against tuberculosis.
A Red Cross bulletin just issued
by the Minnesota Anti-tuberculo-
sis Society, says: "In practically
every city of this state and in a
large number of villages the Red
Cross Christmas seals are now
on sale. It~has been impossible
for the state agent to keep pace
with the orders. Everywhere
there is a surprising enthusiasm
for the cause which would appear
to be evidence that the anti-tu-
berculosis campaign of the past
three years is beginning to bear
fruit"

WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER I
Bankers Button Gag Growing In
tensely Exciting Among the
- Citizens.
THURSDAY Is LAST BUTTON DAY

The general trend Of conversation
among the citizens of Bemidji and
the surrounding country is practical
ly all holiday talk and much, Of 1T
concerns the merchants of this city.
The one merchant they all seem to
talk about is E. A. Barker and his
Button, Button gag To begin with
the children became more interested
than did the older folk, but as the
matter was brought more clearly be-
fore the grown ups the interest cen
tered among them and is now at few
er height.
In talking of the proposition today
Mr.. Barker said: There are a few
people who are under the impress
sion that they can bring in 5 but
tons, not purchased and present them
and receive a souvenir. This isn't
the proposition at all. To begin
with the buttons were distributed,
presumably, one to person, and the
purchase of four additional entitled
the holder to one of our souvenirs.
These additional buttons can be OBJ
tanned only by making purchases of
81 OR more at this store, each dollar
purchase secures one button, and
each set of five buttons secures SOU
venir. --s-- w. ..--s-. 49,.
"A great many think that all but
tons have duplicates. This is also a
mistaken idea. All buttons do not
have duplicates and all duplicates do
not appear on articles at one time.
Every person who makes purchase
of one dollar is registered and is Civ
en- a button. In this manner we can
keep a close tab On how the buttons
were obtained and it they were Sc
cured by the person presenting them.
T. "On Thursday of this week, which
is the last button Day I will place
every remaining duplicate button
on some article in my stock and I
want to add right here that there
will be some of the best gifts yet Of
fered among them. Here are three
that should interest somebody. A
diamond set signet ring, a genuine
alligator hand bag and a Hull UNI
brella.''
The following persons have already
secured gifts via the button route.
Will your name appear among this
list before Thursday night?

to the editor of The Scandi' at Du-
