Senior Senator Of Minnesota Makes
Strong Plea for Registry Bill.

Senior Senator Of Minnesota Makes
Strong Plea for Registry Bill. y
Washington, Aug. lin the debate
on the bill admitting foreign built
ships to American registry, in the
Senate last week, Senator Knute Mel
son engaged in heated argument
with Senator Galliger Of New Hamp-
shire. Senator Nelson strongly sup
ported the bill, and made the charge
that the New England ship building
interests were largely responsible for
the fact that it has been impossible
to change the law requiring that all
ships flying the American flag shall
be built in American shipyards. This
law, Senator Nelson asserted, has
shackled American shipping and has
made impossible competition between
American and foreign vessels on the
high seas.
Speaking Of the opportunity pre-
scented to America in the present Eu-
ropean crisis, Senator Nelson said in
part:
I'm two directions during the pres
ent exigency and during the existence
of the war, from two standpoints, our
shipping can get a benefit and will be
able to rise out of the chaos Of des-
pondency in which it has been for
many years. First Of all, our people
can secure cheaper vessels, owing to
the exigencies of the war. In the
next place, they can s. cure higher
freight rates and in that way make a
success of the traffic.
1--WE have never since the day Of
the Civil war had such an opportunity,
and this bill opens the door. We can
then try out the question whether or
not our vessels, purchased and oper-
ated under these conditions, will be
able to compete with the shipping Of
the Old world.
"There is a further thing, too, that
gives us an opportunity, and that is
the fact that the war will necessarily
destroy and eliminate a good deal OF
the Old world. I need not name them;
perhaps it would be impolite to name
them; but undoubtedly some of. the
shipping of the great countries of the
Old world will be eliminated. There
will be less shipping to compete WITH
and our shipping will have a better
opportunity on the high seas"

Hog Cholera Talk.
Vlllmar, Tribune:

CUlGOT WllAQAI xClOUO0s -. =,
In as much as hog cholera has TAX
en- 80 many Of our valuable hogs, /
wish to state my views from observa-
tions made, and wish that others
would do the same, in order that we
might cooperate to keep this plague
away from our places.
You have all noticed, no doubt, that
our County Agent. as we'll as other
agents and experts from the counties,
have both orally and in writing advis-
ed US to watch our hogs and as soon
as we notice one that does not look
we'll send at once for the veterinary
and have them vaccinated with the
single treatment, that is with serum
that contains no cholera germ. And
there are many farmers who act on
this faulty advice, with the result
that their hogs die and the cholera
spreads around. On the other hand
there are a few of us farmers who
deviate from this, advice and instead
call in reliable veterinary who vac
cinates our hogs before they become
sick, and does it with the double
treatment with serum that contains
cholera germs. And these pigs live
and the cholera has no further power
over them, even If they become expos
ed to such swine that have the chol-
era.
Let us hear from other observers,
and see if the above is not the true
situation.
The Kandiyohi County authorities
should see to that the cholera be han
died in a more careful manner, that
only serum containing the proper
germs is kept on hand in sufficient
quantities, and that it be used in time
before it is too late. The other SER
UNI which contains no germs Is worth
less, and farmers who pay for same
are fooled.
Let our slogan be, shut out and con-
uuer the cholera enemy, and do not let
him into our yards, for then it is too
late.
