Stone Strikes Barber Chair.
one man was arrested for heaving
paving block through the front window
of the Herald Square Hotel barber
shop. The missile whizzed by the head
of a mancurist. showering her WIN

chair in which a customer reclined.
Corse Payton, the Brooklyn actor
manager. had a shiny silk hat !ifteh
from his head by "A brick, and he re-
tired in haste into the lobby of the
Marlborough -Blenheim. More reserves
came on the scene. and at the end of
half an hour the strikers had been scat
tered. most of them moving up Broad

The activity of the disgruntled bar
bers is supposed TO have been planned

tan and Brooklyn strikers. who orderch
the conference for the purpose of pro-
testing against the Industrial Workers

of the city. and especially in the BaE
Ridge section the proprietors Of shops
continued their grim fight against
whiskers and flowing locks and new
record for "once over" was announced
every little while from some quarter or

and registered. Mr.. Brickell says had
all been registered, the seven head
would have brought $1,000 instead of
$3.50. "Why not USE" says he, pure
bred bulls and sell calves for $4,000
each, instead of $500 each for the lit
tie scrub stock? And that is a
question for every cattle raiser to
think about. The scrub stock will
eat just as much and require as much,
if not more attention, than the pure
breds.
Mr.. Brickell is very much pleased
with his experiment in cattle raising,
and will soon have nothing but pure
breds in his herds. He is such a
strong believer in the good effects of
the dipping vat, that he has put in
one on the Eureka Stock Farm, which
he regards as one of his best invest
ments.
The Herald is delighted to receive
such reports from enterprises as the
Eureka Stock Farm. A dozen of them
in Yazoo county would settle the boil
weevil question.-Yazoo Herald.

killed several times as many as perish
ed in the flood, and caused, perhaps, a
greater total of suffering than even
the invading waters.
Today there is no epidemic in the
flooded lands. The Marine Hospital
Service was on hand to show people
how to render their water supply safe
for drinking. Vaccine points and anti
typhoid serum were supplied from
army stores. AS a result cases Of
smallpox have been rare, and typhoid
is no more prevalent in the flood region
than outside.
Modern medicine prevents disease,
