The first political battle, really, is

cause we espOused, and for which we

the membership a certain organize

democratic official organization in
this county was for Billiard, and the
further fact that his name was first

that all efforts to carry the county

that is all over. Whoever has won

even If in one township in this coun-

MORE VETERINARIANS NEEDED.

MaIhaUVdu, hdnSdS, august vi
American cities continue to enforce
meat inspection and pure milk laws
the demand for veterinarians is Ger
tain to increase. And that is exact
ly what most of the cities are doing.
Their demand for veterinary gradu.
ates to do this work is insistent. II
Is explained by the fact that veteri-
narians are trained particularly in
the subjects that come under the
provisions of laws for meat inspec-
tion and clean milk and general san
itation. One state has three gradu-
ates from the veterinary school at
the Kansas Agricultural College and
six have application on file for men
from that department.
Wherever there are dairy herds
and wherever there are hogs there is
work for veterinarians. Kansas is
coming to the front rapidly in both Of
these lines. Hog cholera has made
work for many more veterinarians
than the college could supply. The
serum plant, one Of the largest in
Amemca, has enough preventative
fluid in stock to vaccinate every hog
in the state. As farmers are rapidly
adopting the permanent immuniza-
ton system an extra large supply of
serum must always be ready. And
this means work for the veterinar-
ians both in the making and in the
using.
The agricultural college is doing all
1t can legitimately, to encourage
young men to take the training need
ed for this profession. This does not
mean "honse doctors" The day has
passed when that kind of practition-
er could make mudh headway. Vet
erinarians Of today must know al
the business, and that means much
more than a knowledge of horses.
The veterinary department of the
Kansas Agricultural CoEege is one of
four in the United States that offer
four years courses Of nine months
each Graduates Of this department
are eligible to membership to all vet
Urinary associations of the kind
whose adm is to maintain a high
standard of veterinary education. The
United States department Of agricul-
tur rates the school as AL. By
taking THE course at the college the
students have constant practice, edth.
er in observation or In actual work
with all classes of animals. The vet
erinary department at the expert.
ment station. established by the fed
eral government. has annually about
five thousand dollars for dnNestiga-
tional work in veterinary medicine,
so that the students may study the
problems that confront every farmer
and breeder. DR.. E. 8. SchoeHeber,
head of the school, is now in Europe
studying several new ideas but Will
return to Kansas In September for
the opening ot college.
The live stock interest of Kansas
wene worth more than 26O million dol
lars in 1911. That means work for
veterinarians.

Just before the close the two can

and then Colonel Roosevelt went on
with his few remarks They were
made slowly, almost painfully. They
had not been prepared beforehand.
He was evidently struggling with his
feelings in his sense of responsibility

turned to Governor Johnson, who had

ed the convention for having given
him such a running mate-"a man
whose every word is made good by

Postmaster Hicks Gives Out Import
ant Announcement as to Sunday
Mali Services.
Postmaster Hicks has announced
that, beginning with next Sunday. all
mail addressed to holders of lock box
es at the local Office will be distribut-
ed each Sunday as formerly. 1t is
generally known that the post office
has been closed Sundays for the past
few months, a bill having been rush
ed through congress at the last session
forcing all post offices to close on the
Sabbath. The new law put great
many people to inconvenience and gen
eral dissatisfaction was expressed
when it began to be enforced. Post
master General Hitchcock gave out a
statement declaring that he did not
stand sponsor for the bill and that
he had not suggested It, The depart
ment has not construed the bill as 1t
seemed to be intended and numbers of
cities have been allowed the privilege
of having their mails if they desired
it.
Postmaster Hicks stated several
days ago that he believed that the
patrons Of this office favored the dis
tribution of the mails on Sundays, so
he wrote for Special dispensation"
for the Laurens office and his request
was granted. The general delivery
window will not be open nor will the
general delivery mail be distributed.
This announcement will be receiv-
ed with satisfaction by large number
of the patrons Of the office and Mr..
Hicks will be congratulated upon the
interest he has shown In the matter.
