Telephone service, linking together city and country and shore,
is never more appreciated than during the summer months.
While the business man is confined to his desk in the city, the
telephone keeps him in touch with wife and family, though they
be many miles away, summering at some pleasant resort.
During his own vacation the business man relies upon the teh-
phone. He is free from care, for he knows that he can be reached
at one by telephone should important matters require his attention.
At the vacation home also, the telephone proves so convenient
in arranging games and outings with friends and ordering sup
plies from the distant markets.
All this is possible because Bell Telephone service is universal

LOSSES FROM HOG
CHOLERA 100000
Minnesota Farmers Hard Hit!
the Present Season. |
FORCED SALES LOWER PRICES
(6y n. PRESTON HOskiNS, Univer-
Sity Farm, St, PsuI)

sity Farm, St. PsuI.)
Different authorities have made va
rlous estimates of Minnesota's losses
from hog cholera during the past few
months. These estimates have ranged
from few million dollars up to $685.
100000. At the present time there is
no practical way of making very
accurate estimate of the losses actual.
~ due to hog cholera In figuring
such a loss various factors must be
taken into consideration in addition
to the actual value Of the hogs which
died of the disease.
A shote weighing fifty pounds dying
OF hog cholera represents a loss of
but a few dollars, but if this same
shote had been properly protected
against the disease by vaccination,
grown to maturity and marketed the
hog raiser would then have realized
several times the value of the hog as
a shOte. The same reasoning holds
true of the large number of young
pigs that were sent to market many
months before they would have been
sent under ordinary conditions, due
to the close proximity of the disease
and the inability of their owners to
procure the serum necessary for
their protection. Whole herds were
sent to market during July and Au-
gust and instead of returning the
owners the ordinary market value the
sellers had to be contented with a fig
ure much below the market price, on
account of the fact that the hogs had
been exposed to cholera and some
were probably infected and would be
condemned when slaughtered.
In estimating hog cholera losses
care should be taken to include only
those hogs which actually died of the
disease. When cholera is in neigh
borhood and a hog is taken sick the
first thought is usually of cholera.
Frequently when these cases have
been investigated some other diseases
instead of cholera were found to be
present.
Serum has been condemned in GER
tain cases where yaccinated hogs
have died, the owner claiming that
the hogs had died of cholera, but on
Investigation it was found that in sew
Cral cases the hogs had died from
intestinal worms, and in other cases
from lung worms. Other factors Of
lesser Importance, but bearing direct
ly on the subject. are the large amount
of money invested in medicines worth
less for preventing and curing the
disease. the losses following the i'm
proper use OF good serum and the use
of worthless serum. All factors be-
ing considered, Minnesota's losses
from cholera, both direct and indirect,
will probably reach s5,000,000 this
year.

CIDER AND VINEGAR NOTES

Sort the apples before grinding. Dis
card decayed fruit, as it will spoil
the cider. Dirty apples should be
washed.
Grind the apples as fine as possible.
If coarse pieces go into the mash the
production of juice will be reduced.
A bushel of apples should make from
two to three gallons of juice, on the
average.
Use wooden receptacles and let the
cider settle for few days to get rid
Of fine pomace, then draw off the
clear juice with short length of rub
Der hose used as siphon.
Keep the cider at a temperature Of
from IS to Is degrees Fahrenheit
When alcoholic fermentation is over
draw off the clear liquid, cleaning the
barrels before using again. Fill bar
rels again two-thirds full, adding to
each barrel about gallon Of good
vinegar, mother" of vinegar, or pure
culture of the vinegar bacteria.
When vinegar fermentation Is over
again draw off the clear liquid into
clean barrels. Fill the barrels full
this time and drive in the hung to
keep out air.-W. G. Briefly. Assistant

ALL CARE AND ATTENTION
PLAN FOR STAR OUTINGS

Children who attend the Stars out
ings to Olympic Park will be afforded
every care and attention. Besides the
attendants, who will be furnished by
the management to look after the
welfare of the tots, all the instructors
who can be spared from the play
grounds will be dispatched to the
park to keep a careful watch on the
little ones.
j. Leonard Mason. secretary to the
Fairgrounds Commission, today
promised every aid in his power to
insure a pleasant outing for children.
Mr.. Mason will address the children
at the park next week.
This is a great thing" Mr. Mason
declared, land the Star Is to be COM
mended for its unself1sh spirit in try
ing to make things bright and rosy
for the little children during the hot
summer months. We can't have too
many agencies of this kind, and the
Star can count upon me for any aid
that is within my power. These out
ings are means of doing great
amount of good, and should be ap-
preciated by the citizens.
ut is really remarkable how much
these excursions mean to young folks.
They are a source of delight for
weeks afterward. 1t means SO much
to them. It's big thing in the lives
of many of the children, and gets
them into a new environment and
opens up new fields for thought and
imagination as well as the tempo
rary comfort of getting out of the
city and getting fresh air untainted
by the city's smoke and dirt"

KING AND QUEEN FAVOR
KIPLING FOR LAUREATE
English Poet Is Opposed for
Place by Members of
Liberal Party.

LONDON. June 27.-Who will be
the next poet laureate of England?
This seems to be the foremost ques-
ton in English literary circles Just
now, and it is interesting to know
that there is a wide divergence of
opinion as to who should be accorded
the honor.
1t is quite generally agreed that
Rudyard Kipling is England's great
est poet; but ability to write good
poetry is not the only requirement,
else Alfred Austin would never have
been given the honor. Kipling is
partisan in politics and this fact is
regarded as distinctly in his disfavor
Queen Mary is for Kipling and so
also is King George The Unionist
party may be counted upon to favor
his candidacy. but the Liberals, who
are now in power, do not take kindly
to him.
KipliRg is not pushing his own
candidacy. but his friends are. 1t is
rumored that they induced him to
suppress a recent satirical poem in
which he scored the government on
the Marconi affair
Other candidates for the laureate
ship are Thomas Hardy, the novelist,
who has written SOME poetry, and

Internal Strife
Hits Cleveland
League Team
Napoleon Lajoie Makes Appeal
Against Order of Manager
Birmingham Benching Him.

CLEVELAND, O., June 2s.-The
announcement of Manager Birming-
ham, of Cleveland American League
Club. that he intended to bench
Napoleon Lajoie, second baseman of
the team, has precipitated feud be-
tween Lajoie and Birmin CHAM, which
threatens the success of the club,
president Charles w. Somers ad-
mitted here today.
President Somers this morning
talked with Manager Birmingham
over the long distance telephone.
Afterward he announced that the
trouble in no way menaces Birning
hams position as manager, and that
he will continue to direct the team
as he sees fit. Lajoie will continue
with the team as player, he said.
He added that he understood that the
second baseman, reconsidering previ-
Gus. declara tons he had made, says
that he will do as directed by Biz
lmingham.

made what he terms a bench
Mariner" when he is still able to
play, is said to have appealed to
Somers for reinstatement as a regu-
lar
In statements made to local papers,
Lajoie also said that Birmingham
hadn't the authority to bench him.
Birmingham, in statement giving
his side of the trouble, declares that
he only bench Lajoie temporarily be-
cause his broken hands had caused
him to slump in his work. He says
he intended putting the Frenchman
back in the game as soon as he re-
turned TO form.

Diplomats, lawyers, off1ce-boys,
ETC., are as a rule hard to beat when
occasions arise for quick and witty
answer, but to slip one over on a
real live book agent one has to be
on a par with-well-a newspaper
man. 1--WE newspaper men admit it
without false modesty.)
No less important person than Lieu
tenant Suchard, of the Fourth pre-
cinct, relates the following book
agent tale.
A book-agent with about six 1918
model books containing all the latest
recipes for French dishes wandered
into a drug store at Prince and
Spruce streets yesterday afternoon
and within three minutes by the
clock sold the proprietor a cook book
for his wife. The druggist paid the
$3.50 and the book agent left the
store to canvas among the thrifty
housewives in the neighborhood. BY
chance he happened to stop at the
druggists house.
Madam, I am disposing of the
greatest line of cook books ever
printed since Columbus ate eggs in
Queen Isabella's dining-room. etc,
etc. The price is $3.50. What?
Your husband is a druggist? His
store is across the street? Wait
until you run over and get the
money? Not-a-tall, not-a-tall. Your
husband just sent me over here and
told me to tell you to get the money
from the lady on the floor below"
Exit Mrs. Druggist to get the money.
''Ah. thank you, madame. I'm sure
you will never regret having bought
this indispensable book. Good after
noon"
Mrs. Druggist then ran across the
street with the book tucked under her
arm to show Mr.. Druggist her new
means of preparing epicurean de-

lights. When she entered the store
she found her husband porting over
a brand-new cook book just like the
one she carried. After giving the
air blue tinge, without the aid of
chemicals, concerning the nerve of
book agents, Mr.. Druggist sent his
clerk out to look for the B. A. He
forgot to explain to his clerk why he
wanted the agent. however After
running about six blocks the clerk
finally came in sight of the agent
and gave him his boss's message.
What! That crank of a druggist
wants to see me? Not on your life.
just offered to sell him good cook
book for $3.50 and he wanted to give
me 81 for it. Imagine me taking SO
for this book when I could easily ask
IS. might have given 1t to him for
81, but he got so fresh about 1t that
wouldn't"
well, will you give it to me for
$2?" timidly asked the clerk IN
give you 50 for it, and then give 1t
to the boss and get drag with him."
All right, son, I'll take your two
bucks, but don't let 1t happen again"

ing drag" the clerk showed the book
to his boss and told him what hap
pened. The boss Immediately re-
tinged the innocent atmosphere with
deeper shade of, blue and other
colors until that time unknown to
science.
Just what Mr.. and Mrs. Druggist
and an unmarried drug clerk will do
with their cook books is not known,
but when all three went to the front
of the store to talk 1t over they saw
well-dressed man with three books
under his arm boarding a Kinney car
two blocks away. AS the car started
the man waved his hand in their di-
rection, bidding them all a fond
good-by.
