The Michigan law gives an editor
a chance to retract a statement, pro-

is interesting to note that, with this
reasonable opportunity, Michigan has
almost no libel suits against editors.
AS a matter Of fact the malicious libel
is practically extinct in these days OF
decent journalism. OFTEN a newspaper
publisher finds it impossible TO really

June, the Month Of
Weddings,

The pleasure of giving as wellas the
Joy of receiving depends greatly upon
the amount OF thought and personality
used in selecting gift. In presenting
an appropriate, well-chosen gift the
idea of dollars and cents value is sec
. ondary. as it properly should be.
Now that June, the season of many
weddings, is approaching it is well for
those contemplating the purchase OF
gifts to bestir themselves and decide
upon what they will give.
THE PIONEER advertising columns
offer many suggestions that are timely
and valuable. A careful reading will
doubtless solve the perplexing question
of what to give" g. ~ .-
Using THE PIONEER advertisements
as guide, one not only makes sure OF
covering a wide variety of possible
gifts, but also greatly simplifies the
actual purchasing and sending of

Canker or sore mouth is distinctly
contagious, spreading rapidly from
the mouth of the diseased pig to the
sow's udder and then in turn from
the SOW to healthy pigs. 1t is. due to
certain germ which has the peculiar
power of producing death of the local
tissue affected. The same germ caus-
es various other: similar diseases
such as calf .diphtheria, foot rot of
sheep, and perhaps some hoof trou-
bles of cattle In some cases it has
iseemed possible that canker in little
pigs came from ,sthe diseased feet of
cattle, that is, from the foot trouble
known as foul in the foot This
trouble among cattle may exist in a
very mild form SO that the cattle are
not lame, although the feet are az

In bad cases it may be necessary to

All affected pigs should be put to-
