Miss Elizabeth Carey, seventeen
years old, slender and blue eyed, shot
and seriously wounded Melvin E.

while tho youth was loudly proclaim
ing that he would never marry her and

tieth Street Station.

ard he again put it off, saying that

The idea of Energy will also be
brought out by the play of water.
Curving sprays of water in opposite
directions will give intricate play and
action to the design. The waters of
the fountain will describe four in
teresting curves, the heaviest sheet
spreading downward from the top of
the pedestal to the pool and each line
of "outriders" throwing the curve
back toward the center of the foun-
tain.
Mr.. Calder's imaginative genius is
admirably portrayed in the figures
representing the four seas. These
figures are as follows:

the tropical South Gardens from the
main gate of the exposition.
The fountain is unique in it's
conception. A great globe rep
resenting the earth is surmount-
ed by an equestrian figure of
Energy, the Victor" a splendid
male figure standing erect in
stirrups, with hands outstretched
in gesture Of command. From
his shoulders spring two spirits
Of fame and glory, who blow
their magic trumpets about his
head. Sprays of water describ-
ing curves with their interplay
and motion and light reflection
will convey the joyous spirit of
the fountain.
In the fountains main basin
at the base of the pedestal are
symbolical figures representing
the earth's four great bodies of
water-the North Sea, the South
Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the
Pacific Ocean.
The spherical pedestal which the
rider surmounts is mod.
eled to represent the earth, crossed
from north to south by decorative
band, following the path of the suns

be big falling off in the amount of
income tax paid on account of the big
increase of personal property tax.
Kenosha business men have begun to
appreciate that twenty per cent of the
income tax goes to the county and ten
per cent to the state and realizing the
unfairness of taking this money from
the city these business men have shown
enough civic patriotism to increase
their personal assessments so that the
amount of the personal property tax
will go a long way towards balancing
the income taxes. The corporation in
come tax roll will be decidedly hard
hit by the advance in personal assess
ments but the finance committee of the
council have assurance that this money
will all go into the city treasury and
there will be no sharing of it with the
state and county.
The town of Salem reports the larg-
est income tax in the county, it being.
larger than that of any two other
towns in the county. Brighton gets
away with a total tax of but $83.46 and
Paris will pay less than hundred dol
lars if all of the taxes levied are col
lected. Experience in the collection of
income tax has shown that about ten
per cent of this tax levied is not col
lectable and so the totals will undoubt-
edly be considerably less than shown by
the tax roll. The individual tax levied
in the various towns and in the city

Surrounding the pedestal and at the
base of the figure of Energy, grow
ing out Of the sphere a. though a
part of it, are two figures represent
ing che eastern and western hemis-
pheres.
The four figures of the four seas
stand out from the pedestal in the
basin and in the circular pool are
two alternating lines with the figures
of water sprites and demons mount
ed upon odd fishes, executed in a
whimsical spirit.

by him. Mr.. Arnold is putting the
finishing touches to his emotional
drama copyrighted under the caption
of personal Injury" with strong
musical setting to be produced during
the Panama Exposition next year.
This play is being written mostly from
life. The scenario was obtained from
well known newspaper man who had
originally prepared it as news matter
for a leading daily paper. Owing to
powerful influence the story was sup
pressed, but Mr.. Arnold bought up the
data. The heroine of the play is well
known in Chicago in her profession.
It is predicted by those in authority,
that "Personal Injury" will prove

Mr. Arnold s stay with US will be pleas

NO FEDERAL JURISDICTION.
HAS NO POWER IN
INSURANCE. CASES.
Attorney General McReynOlds Indi-
Gates That Nation. Cannot Aid South
Carolina i'm Forcing Companies to
Comply with State Law.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator T..
-. Smith Of South Carolina today call
ed 10 see Attorney General McRey-
noldS and discussed with him the
question OF what to do with insurance
companies which are doing business
in South Carolina and which refuse
to invest part Of their earnings in
state securities.
1t is understood the conference was
held at the request of F. H. McMas-
ter, insurance commissioner of South
Carolina who is anxious to know if
there is any way to reach those COM
panies which sell policies in the State
and which do not meet the reouire-
ments Of the law.
After Senator Smith talked the
matter over with the attorney gem
eral Tor some time it appeared that
the latter was of the opinion that in
surance is not matter of interstate
commerce, inasmuch as there is no
tangible thing or commodity actually
shipped or sold, while policy of in
surance Is merely contract or a
promise to pay under certain condi-
uons and limitations.
Senator Smith desires to ascertain
whether some bill could not be drawn
and introduced to remedy the situa-
ton, which is well known in South
Carolina at the present time, some
companies doing business there and
reiuSlns to invest in State securities,
and it was for this reason that he dis
cussed the matter with Mr.. Mickey

it has taken hold of its victim. How
ever it seems TO prevent the rapid
spread of the disease. The result is
that in spring time the affection is
as rule at the lowest ebb but in
creascs rapidly from that time until
fall.
Hog cholera does not seem TO af-
feet any particular breed of hogs
more than another, and while gener-
ally the careless farmer is more apt to
have the disease among his hogs
than the careful one, the disease
sometimes occurs where the conditions
are sanitary. 1t is hoped that the
work may be extended gradually un-
til the disease is completely controlled
or eliminated. The fact that hog
cholera is carried not only by the
hogs themselves, but by birds, dogs,
streams and even on the feet of men
going from one farm to another
shows how necessary it is that the
campaign be thorough and that farm
ers exert their best efforts to assist in
the work.

cinet serum to treat an average hum
drcd-pound hog costs about thirty
cents at It liberal estimate. The
treatment is by hNpodcrmic injection.
The department i'm initiating its
campaign against the devastating huy
disease has only been able to COM
mencc i'm "a few of the districts VIII re
the cholera was the most widespread
Lnd where the active cooperation of
the State was offered IN cnfor ing the
ordinary quarantine treasures, etc.
Fhc object of the experiment has
been to endeavor To control the dis.
ease and if possible, % eliminate il
from the country. To secure this end
the best efforts of the farmer himself
are necessary. The campaign against
this devastating sickness during 1919
was planned in the territory selected
along three lines:
/. The education and organization
of the farmers in the districts Sc
lected To he carried out primarily by
the state college.
,. The enforcement of sanitation
and restrictive regulations by the
State veterinarian.
>. Active supervision by the Blu
reau of Animal Industry of the de-
partment and the incubation of dis
eased herds and exposed herds with
the anti-hOG.cholera serum
A county in each stat was selected
rs a unit and the method of work i'm
that county was, briefly, for the state
college to secure the cooperation of
intelligent, active farmers in each
township in the county. These men
were called volunteer assistants and
they were to keep in close communica-
ton with the departments inspector
stationed in that area, keeping him
Informed of conditions and securing
statistics concerning the hog indus
try. In this manner conditions were
pretty we'll learned in the territory
under inspection. When an outbreak
of hog cholera was reported the de-
partment's inspector went to that
outbreak and saved all the hogs he
could by treatment with serum. AS
the disease is very easily transmitted,
he then protected all herds in the
immediate vicinity by inoculation. The
idea was to form zone of immune
animals around the infected center.
Hog cholera is caused by germ
that exists i'm the blood. 1t is an or
ganism apparently so small that the
most powerful microscopes do not
show it. However, it is easy to dem
onstrate its presence by inoculating
small part of the blood from a sick
hog into Il we'll one, which produces
the hog cholera.
Hog cholera is a disease which
seems to be stopped to degree by
the frosts Of winter, although frost
cannot be said to stop case after
