AISLES THRONGED
WITH WORKERS

Abba, Dec. 13.-Last night was a
service. The evangelist
spoke on turning FROM the light, show
ing most clearly the folly of such an
operation and how insiduously sin
leads men to walk in their own shad-
cw. At times he grew dramatic and
at others his denuncialion Of evil was
terrific and awe inspiring. The altar
call was convincing and the aisles
we're thronged with workers.
Those coming forward to make con-
fession were not small children but
singing was inspiring and the crowd
was capacity audience.
The Ladies' Meeting.
The free supper and sermon was
given the working girls at the United
Presbyterian church last night with

an excellent supper There will be a
farewell supper next Friday, probably
at the Christian church

were remarkably interesting, showing
a large increase in attendance.

|0WANS NEEDED NO
MOVING FUND
CEDAR RAPIDS BANKER SAYS
THAT THIS STATE DOES BUsl.
NESS WITH OWN MONEY.
TBY ELISHA HANSON

Washington, D. c., Dec. 13.-Homer
Pitner, cashier of the Commercial Ma
tional bank of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Wis
tied Washington this week for the pur-
pose Of studying the currency legis-
lation close at hand and also to confer
with treasury officials and congress-
men on the currency situation
While here, Mr.. Pitner declared the
disposition of crop moving funds by
the treasury department was a farce
as far as the good done to the small
bankers of the rural districts is con-
cerned.
Also, he expressed the opinion that
the new currency bill will affect Iowa
more than any other state, because in
Iowa the banks all do practically the
same business, each of them being de-
pendent upon the farmers for. its well
fare and when conditions are bad for
one, they are generally bad for all the
others, according to the Cedar Rapids
banker.
ANY statement that the crop NOV
ing fund did Iowa any good Is bunk, +"
said Mr.. Pitner. 1--WE get our money
during crop moving time In Iowa. We
don't need assistance from the govern
ment then. The minute the farmers
begin to sell their crops, that minute
the money begins to pour into the
banks The situation works this way.
Each fall, after the crops have been
sold, the banks have plenty Of cash on
hand. Then the farmer begins prepar-
ing for the next year and from time to
time draws out their money for auto
mobiles, for new land, for new equip
ment, buildings. etc. The result is that
from the time the crop money comes
in, the bankers begin to look ahead
to the next time it comes in and to
plan accordingly.
GAS far as I am able to determine,
this money which was sent out by the
treasury for crop moving was used in
but two cities in Iowa, Des Moines and
Sioux City. We had none of it in Cedar
Rapids and needed none Of it. l think
practically all Of it drifted back east
to the money centers."

the trouble with their hogs Is not the
cholera But | tell you all the terms
are synonymous for hog cholera and
all of the text books are the same. l
want to show why they are synony-
nous. Medical books call hog chol-
sra, an infectious disease caused by
organisms that canot be detected by
microscopic study 1t goes on to tell
us that 1t Is a disease acting something
like blood poisoning IN humans. There
the sub acute, acute and chronic forms.
Hog cholera virus infection Is in
variably followed by secondary infec-
ticn.' In the first infection the only
one present is then the Inflammation
i'll the lungs. This is what used to be
called swim plague and is still called
that by some today. The vaccination
for hog cholera that We have had has
all been most successful when properly
carried out by competent men.
"A while ago there was bill pass
ed in the Iowa legislature which said
that any one who had practiced vete-
rinary medicine for five years previous
to that time should then be allowed to
20 on unmolested. The state now
says that man must show that he is
capable of handling serum before he
can be allowed to use it.
Vaccination against hog cholera Is
a success, an absolute success. They
say the germ has never been Guilt
waited and that serum can not be
manufactured to combat 1t. We vac
cinate against smallpox, scarlet fever
and hydrophobia yet the bacillus for
these has not been cultivated nor
grown. A German Investigators, bull
letIn has proven beyond any doubt in
a scientific mans mind that the virus
will grow and increase.
Since early August I have treated
between 5000 and 5000 head of hogs
and have used both the simultaneous
methods and by the serum alone.
When the we'll unexposed hogs have
be en- treated by double method then
they have been placed in sick pens.
have immunized between 1900 and
1000 hogs and have had less than one
per cent to die following treatment.
One thin I have learned Is to stay by
serum that I found to be good"

OF all the sessions thus far held by

cholera and it's treatment was the
theme of discussion that took on
the nature Of debate in which three
veterinarians, E. F. Lowry of Ottum-

alton and j. F. Williams of Highland
Center with John Patterson of Hedrick
the affirmative, participated. The
battle of words and theories lasted un-
til after midnight. Senator ]. f. Web
Der talked on the legislative side of
the hog cholera question. Seldom If
ever has there been question so
thoroughly discussed and studied by
the institute as was this last night,
and despite the fact that several hours
were devoted to it, the interest in the
discussion never tagged. The first of
the speakers was Dr. Lowry. His ad-

opposition, am not sore at anyone be-

and neither should he be sore at me

me. I have made study of it all my
