Oklahoma City-A campaign for the
purpose of procuring united effort on
the part Of the farmers of the state
to eradicate hog cholera will be
launched early in October, it was an
nounced by DR.. T. P. White, cholera
expert, stationed in Oklahoma by the
government to assist stock raisers in
minimizing that plague.
Dr. White, who came here expecting
to be ordered to Minnesota after a
few weeks, has received an official
letter informing him that he is to stay
in Oklahoma indefinitely, probably for
year or more.
For the rest of September DR..
White has mapped out plan that
will take him to practically all the
county fairs held this month and to
the state fair at Oklahoma City He
will attend county fairs in Creek, Lo-
gan, Cleveland and Tulsa counties.
At every show he will address gather
ings of farmers, on the subject Of
eradication of hog cholera.
"No cure for hog cholera has been
discovered, although experts have
spent much time trying to dig one out
of science" Dr. White declared.
There are two methods of preventing
the disease. One is by practice OF
rigid sanitation and the other is
through use of the governments vac
cination serum.
beginning early next month in
tend to make campaign over the
entire state, meeting as many farmers
in each county as can. | will at
tempt to arouse sufficient interest to
cause the formation of county hog
cholera eradication clubs, especially
in counties where hogs are raised on
large scale"
DR.. White says he believes one rea-
son why the disease is so prevalent
in this section of the country is be-
cause of insufficient state laws. There
should be a law, he declared, which
would provide cards of warning where
hog cholera exists among the stock.

The Latest Big Battle.

Reference to the titanic struggle be-
tween the German army, under Grown
Prince Frederick William and the
forces of France, which took place be-
tween Rheims and Verdun is made
from Berlin. II the Berlin statement
proves correct-that three-quarters of
a million trops were fighting in that
region 'in the greatest battle OF his
tory" 1t would explain much Of what
has been happening in the western
field To bring the troops in that re-
gion to anything like the number OF
100000. enormous French forces must
have been concentrated at the expense
of the French left flank, where the
Germans have been making progress
with their brilliant dash on Paris. The
battle along the Rheims-Verdun line
has been claimed In an earlier mes
sage from Berlin, as a victory for the
army of the crown prince, who is re.
ported to have had the assistance Of
Emperor William, who was present.
That nothing further concerning
such historic fight, has come through
from any source is regarded as re-
markable, even when al springs OF in
formation are under official seal.

Paris.-The Matin relates that on
the arrival OF a train bringing wound
ed Senegalese riflemen nearly all were
found smoking furiously from long
porcelain pipes taken from the enemy
and seemingly Indifferent to their
wounds. The Senegalese complain of
nothing except the obligation to fight
with shoes on. Before going into bat
tie at Charleroi they slyly rid them
selves of these impediments, but came
back shod in German footwear to avoid
punishment for losing equipment.

to certify the primary election returns

Band Concert A Great Success
$3.50 Taken In for Initial Concert and Box Supper
Program and Supper Of Good Things to Eat

The people of Richfeld can lay claim
to the very best new band there is in
Idaho, or the whole West---a and the
band itself will make good every claim.
The band, which was organized in
December, gave its first public concert,
Friday night, to the biggest audience
ever gathered on the Richfield tract.
1t was bad night the rsads were two
feet deep is snow, and rain was falling
and making the snow almost impossible;
but the basement of the church was
packed by the people. who came in from
town and country to hear the band on
its first appearance.
1t would not be quite true to say that
Sousa's band could do no better than
the Richfeld organization. But when
ban made up almost entirely of men
who had never touched horn until two
months before, and some of them had
not been playing even two weeks at
the time of the concert, it is notable
feat that they can make any music at
all. Mrny and many band that prides
itself on having made good progress,
would not make nearly SO good show
ing at the end of a years hard work.
That Rev. Leitch, the efficient directo
and the willing workers under him,
could make so good showing in SO
short time, is really extraordinary,
and matter for the warmest commun-
ity congratulation.

industrial agent, was here and gave an

up by the suit, s3,O29.67; total of
$8,005 81. There is also to be collected,
other taxes amounting to 81, 239. 40, or
a total cash value of SO, 246. 29.
From this sum, the district will have
to pay bond issue of SO, 900, issued by
the old school district and turned over

1t is understood that the Shoshone
school district is preparing to file an ap-
peal, or rather request to have the
case reopened This of course could be
done---but the Recorder is prepared to
believe that, if the supreme court grant
ed such request, it would be with
such power giAen to the commissioners
that they could cut the district into two
portions instead of three, and if they
chose to do SO they could leave Sho-
shone entirely out of. the division. The
court decision seems to say that the
commissioners are supreme in their Judg-
ment of what to do with divided terri
tory in such case, and if they chose
to cut it into one piece, or two, or half
a dozen. they would have the law back

Important Matters to Come Up
at Saturday Meeting.


An important meeting of the Farm
ers' Society of Equity is to be held Sat
urday, February 28th, at which many
items of interest will be discussed.
One of these will be the report of
Secretary Parkhurst and Delegate and
State Director Taper. of what was

They will discuss various things--the
buying of posts, fencing, alfalfa and
other seed, and other important farm

chase of farm machinery in car lots,
through the Society of Equity, at prices
far lower than have ever ruled in this
part of Idaho.

fent as delegate to the state conven-
ton of Irrigators at Boise, two weeks

able things given at the convention.
