Whether or not Gormly would have

The mayor was In q dilemma, a
fearful one. He was quick enough to
see that his whole political future.

pended upon his action. If he did not
declare his purpose TO veto the bill, he
and his party We're doomed. II he
took some other course, they would

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard Of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on it's head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t did
40 good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
We remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
Golvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and APP
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau.

stopped In obedience TO a signal from

The words were not out of her

The balance between the price
of land and its annual income is
constantly under adjustment. A
farm is worth what it will produce
in cash, comfort and convenience
for it's owner. One man can
make 5000 land pay for itself in a
few years where another could not
even make interest on its valua-
ton. Some men are willing to
pay for a pleasant climate, feeling
that they get the value returned
in comfort; convenience to trans
portation and markets also claims
market rating. An Illinois
farm, with less than an average
improvements, sold the other day
for 1925 an acre, which was con-
sidered $50 an acre more than it
would have brought if it had not
been very near an interurban rail-
way. The constant migration of
thrifty farmers from high-priced
land to newer regions is natural
result of the adjustment of rural
conditions. Those who remain on
expensive land must use more than
average ability in its manage
ment, and they frequently find it
profitable to abandon the time
honored crops and systems of
management of their localities.
With every rise in price of land
the incentive to better farming is
introduced. Those who adapt
themselves to the new conditions
continue to prosper, while those
who rebel at the introduction of
better soil management, improved
seed and high live stock seek
locations where intensive farming
is not necessary.

Spread of Swine Plague.

The sweep of swine plague is
unusually broad this season. Out
breaks antedated the accustomed
period, and the spread of the dis
ease has been rapid. State labor
atories devoted to the manufacture
of preventive serum lave been
sadly overtaxed by the demands
on them. Results multiply to
show that these serums injected
before disease has fastened itself
on the herd will afford approx
mately 80 per cent protection. In
some instances the disease is
checked by the injection of the
vaccinating material, but the hog
cholera serum is offered as pre-
ventive, not cure. The stitch in
time, therefore, is necessary.
When swine plague invades a
neighborhood no herd is safe.
Some are lucky and escape, and
such escapes lull farmers into fam
cied security, from which they are
ofttimes rudely and disastrously
awakened. 1t is a matter of luck
largely, unless preventive steps
are taken. Undoubtedly disinfec-
lion helps greatly to ward off dis
ease. Any germ-destroyer is val
liable on a farm surrounded by
cholera, but this projections is not
positive, as the disease is one of
the most insidious in it's introduce
ton.
The makers of cholera cures"
and preventives are busy. Ii
need not be restated that science
knows no cure for hog cholera.
Many cure" has been put on
1
the market, and each one of them
has had some weight of successful
experience back of it. Many a
man has really believed he has dis
covered sure cure" but sooner
or later he learns his mistake.
Several makers of cholera reme-
dies are so certain of their efficacy
that they guarantee them. In
such cases the farmer is not out
anything if the disease is not
stopped. He should have a def
mite, iron-clad legal contract with
every such advertiser before he
pays his money for the remedy.
Only few states supply serum,
and the demand is far greater than
the supply, so the farmer turns to
the advertised remedies as a for
lorn hope. They are chiefly germ
killers and tonics and are clearly
indicted in the treatment and pre-
vention of the disease; but, in
view of all experience with swine
plague remedies, we advise farm
ers to get binding guarantees or
insurance when they buy the
cures"

Minnesota Day

Minnesota day will be observed
in the public schools of the state
for the first time Friday, March /,
1912, according to bulletin issued
to the county superintendent of
Minnesota by c. G. Schulz, state
superintendent of public instruc-
ton. The day is not a school
holiday, the bulletin says, and the
usual day class room schedule will
be departed from only so far as
may be found necessary in carrying
out program of special exercises
concentrating the day.
March l was designated to be
known and honored in the public
schools under a law passed by the
last legislature because that date
falls within the time of the passage
of the act of congress creating the
territory of Minnesota and the act
admitting the territory to statehood.
A later bulletin from the depart
ment will outline the special
exercises.
