FINANCING SCHEME
NEARLY COMPLETED
BANKS CARRY WARRANTS
WILL RECEIVE 100000 OF
STATES SCRIP ON EIGHT
PER CENT BASIS.

Little Rock, Nov. 24.-Within a few
weeks the financial scheme of Gov.
Hays to tide the state over until the
collectors over the state settle for
the 1913 taxes, will be put into effect.
He has now pledges from state banks
to take about 100000 of the state
warrants, at a rate of interest not
to exceed 8 per cent. This will main
tain the states credit, and at the
same time permit the state employees
to cash their warrants at only a small
discount, for the warrants can all be
redeemed by the first of August, 1914.
The arrangements of Gov Hays
will permit the contracts for needed
improvements at state institutions,
to be let. Contractors who figured on
these jobs bid over the appropriations
made by the legislature, because they
expected to have to discount their pa
per about Is per cent. Now that
they know the rate has been decreased,
they will bid lower for the work,
bringing it within the appropriations,
so work can proceed.

1.O42 EXAMINED
FOR HOOKWORM
FEW FOUND INFECTED
CASES OF INFEC-
TION DISCOVERED, ONLY 12
BEING HOOKWORM.

The hookworm campaign is half
over, and only three weeks of the
work remain.
During the past week 573 examina-
tions were made and 25 infections of
all kinds found, only six of these be-
ing hookworm. In Conway on Satur-
day, 306 examinations were made and
this was the best single days work
which has been done in the county so
far. The total for the first three
weeks of the campaign is as follows:
Examinations, 1,042; infections, 4S;
hookworm infections, II.
The dispensary visitors were inter-
ested in the sanitary part Of the work
and at several points it was possible to
demonstrate the live larvae under the
microscope.
The infection percentage continues
to be light If such a condition con-
tinues throughout the campaign the
county will have cause for congratula-
ton. Now is the time to get rid of
those scattering cases, as each one
untreated will be a focus around
which the disease may later get foot
hold in the county.
School children are being examined
in large numbers. Every school that
has been reached has been interested
and high percentage of pupils have
taken advantage of the free dispen-
sary. The dispensary points to be
visited during this week remain as
previously.
Those who failed to get a report on
Saturdays work may do so by apply
ing to the dispensary in Conway on
next Saturday

tions for the past week follow:

SON Z.
PLEAD GUILTY

The jury had no sooner returned its
verdict in the Ness bribery case in
district court yesterday morning than
the state moved the case Of John II.
Summerside. a young man who has
been in county Jail here since Febru.
airy on a charge Of grand larceny.
County Commissioned MA. Davies

over in Oliver county and a pair OF
mares were stolen, one of them with
a colt had been sold. Summerside Is
said to have been caught with the
horses he had stolen in his possession.
and when his case was ready for trial
yesterday he changed his plea of not
guilty, without a jury being called. TO
n Of guilty and the judge liked
Monday morning at 10 o'clock as the
time when sentence will be passed.
Summerside is the son Of a wealthy
rancher near Pierre, S. d. and the
father and mother Of the erring son
have been here since the court term
convinced. They were willing to do
anything possible to help their son
out Of his present ~predicament, but
the case was positive against the boy.
He had been caught with stolen
horses in his possession, and there
vas NJ alternative but TO throw him
self upon the mercy Of the court.
Implicated in this case with Sum:
merside is Clyde Logan, also formerly
of South Dakota. and also the son OF
we'll to do people, his father having
at one time been a sheriff at Pierre,

plice in this case, and his trial will

LADD TACKLES
new SUBJECTS

Selling liquor in violation Of the law
which required registration Iby the
dealers who dispose of goods in this
state and the poor gardes Of the chick
en- soup sold in North Dakota are the
subjects discussed in the last bulletin
by Pure Food Commissioner Ladd of
this state.
Attention is called by the commits.
sioner to many dealers who are ship
ping liquor and other beverages into
North Dakota who have failed to com.
ply with the law. Commissioner Ladd
has notified many Of these as well as
the railway and the express compan.
les and more firms r registering.
In regard to chicken soups sold to
the trade by the leading m%anufactur-
ers, the commissioner insists some Of
them should be labelled rice soup
with chicken flavor, instead of chick.
en- soup. He states that, much of It
contains extremely limited amount of
chicken, in many cases beef is sub.
stituted for the chickens, and where
chickens have really been used the
grade and quality is poor. The soup
is pronounced low in food value.
