herd soon became affected and had
to be killed.
veterinary authorities Of the
United State are agreed that only
method Of combating the disease
is to stop all movement Of stock
and material which have been sub
jected to any danger Of infection
and to kill off without delay all
herds in which the disease has
gained any foothold. This enables
the authorities to eradicate affect
ed herds and to isolate and hold
under observation all suspected
herds.
"The owner Of the slaughtered
animals is reimbursed on basis of
the appraised value of the herd,
the appraiser being appointed by
the states. The expense of the
whole process Of condemnation
and disinfection is divided equally
between the federal and state gov
ernments.

A Child's Impression

A little girl chum said to me last
week that she wished I would put
an advertisement in the paper that
men should kill only one rabbit
every year. Stories of Peter Rab-
bit and Little Cottontail had set
her thinking and aroused her SYM
pathies.
The next day in talk with her
about the model school, I found
that her training "not to punish
nor kill except when necessary"
had received setback. It happen
ed this way. A game had been
proposed-the Rabbit game. After
the forest and hollow had been
agreed upon, one little boy was
chosen as rabbit. Then armed
with yard stick, another went out
as hunter. While the song was
sung, our little actors gave a pam

In Mernoriam

In loving remembrance of my
dear husband, Robert f. Lee, who
departed this life November 8,
1913.
When he breathed his last farewell
The stroke meant more than tongue
can tell;
This world seems quite another
place
Without the smile of his dear face.
One year has passed; our hearts
are sore;
AS time flies on we miss him more.
He sleeps; we leave him in peace
to rest.
The parting was painful, but God
knoweth best.

Dread Cattle Disease In
New Castle County

The foot and mouth disease has
been discovered among the cattle
in New Castle county, a number of
well developed cases having been
found in herds on farms in Mill
Creek hundred near Marshallton,
Sunday. The entire county will
be quarantined as result of the
discovery Of the outbreak.
The disease was discovered by
Dr. II. p. Ewes, state veterinarian,
and DR.. Charles A. Schauffler, of
the Bureau of Animal Industry,
who found four or five well devel-
oped cases among a herd Of cattle
which was shipped here from Lam
caster, Pa.
The cattle shipped here were di-
vided among three herds on farms
near Marshallton, IA going to one
farmer, five to another six to an
other. All the well developed
cases are among the large herd,
although there are several suspi-
ciOus cases among the two smaller
herds.
A call for meeting of the Live
Stock Sanitary Board was issued
and at the meeting means of COM
batting the disease were adopted.
A strict quarantine embracing the
entire county will be established
During the time Of the quarantine
no cattle will be permitted to be
shipped into or out of the State or
moved on the public highways.
A strict quarantine was placed
last Saturday on the herd at the
College Farm, with notices posted,
warning all strangers away.
Eleven states have been placed
under Federal quarantine in the
campaign to suppress the epidemic
OF foot and mouth disease among
livestock. Secretary Houston has
pronounced the epidemic Zone of
the most contagious and destruc-
tive diseases Of cattle and swine in
this country Unless the infec-
tion can be Immediately localized
and quickly eradicated it threat
ems untold losses among live seock.
The Secretary has authorized the
issuance Of the following official
statement:
So contagious is the disease
that in past outbreaks where but
one animal in a herd was infected.
the entire herd in almost all cases
later contracted the sickness. While
the mortality is not high the effects
of the disease even on animals that
recover are such as to make them
practically useless.
1T is possible to cure the exter-
nal symptoms, but during the pro-
cess Of attempting to cure one
sick animal the chances are that
of others may be infect
I'd. The treatment or killing of a
single animal in herd was tried

Learning To Be Musical

We all know people who bewail
their inability to appreciate good
music. To all these friends the
November number Of the "Delin-
eator' brings message of good
cheer. Here Robert Haven Schauf-
fer, the American authority on
amateur music, in an article on
"How to Become More Musical," !"
tells us a love Of the beautiful is
after all a matter of interest and
persistency. A truly musical per-
son he defines as not necessarily
one who plays or sings himself, but
one who knows how to listen to and
love music. The first move in
learning to be musical is to learn
to listen This, Mr.. Schauffler de-
clares, can easily be done by
spending a pleasant day or two
with one Of the following books:
"How to Listen to Music" by
Krehbiel; "What is Good Music ?"
by Henderson; "The Apprecia-
ton of Music,' by Mason; "The
Education Of a Music-Lover," by
Dickinson.
We should make ourselves ac-
quainted with the human side Of
the composers, their environment,
and the circumstances under
which the great classical compost
tions were written. We should in
form ourselves about the lives of
Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Hay
DIN, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann,
Brahms, Wagner, Dvorak, Tschai-
kowsky, Mcdowell, and Grieg.
In order to cultivate the quality
of enthusiasm for music, the writer
says, "You should hear much
music well performed. Listen, in
the new way you have learned
from the books, to the best players
and singers within your reach.
Try to be a creative listener to
music. This means taking, as lis
tener, almost as active and impor-
tant a part in the performance as
the performer himself"
A good memory helps you to
be musical because it makes music
such an integral part of your be-
ing that, at any moment, you are
able to conjure up your favorite
melodies and think them silently
through, or sing, whistle or hum
them to your self. You can al
ways carry about inside your head
music that fits any situation: mus
ic to reinforce or counteract any
mood, gay or grave, happy or
painful. Thus a good memory not
only makes you more truly musical
but also provides you with por-
table medicine chest for many of
the ills that the human mind and
spirit are heir to. In order to be-
come more musical you should
not only hear much music, but it
should be music of the kind that
will insure your most rapid devel-
opment.
"In your particular case, read
er, there exists some kind of music
which is capable of developing
you faster and farther than any
other kind. Find this music-the
sort that will develop you fastest
and best. This may not happen
to be the sort Of music which you
can fully enjoy when you first
hear it. But by listening to it re-
peatedly-truly listening to it
you will soon find yourself grow
ing in knowledge and enthusiasm
and real musical feeling
The growth Of an appreciation
Of the best in music, is growing
like magic in this country. The
growth needs and Graves direction.

feated the Catholic University

tors pronounce the game the best
Of the season. The game started
with poor kickoff on the part Of

Croft which brought the ball to
Washington's 15-yard line. Here
bware fumbled and Catholic
Aersity received the ball.
4 the next play Rogers carried
/ball back to the middle Of the
ld on fake kick, thus spelling
/elaware s chances for a touch
Aown. The two teams then see
Sawed back and forth until the lat
ter part Of the second quarter,
when Smart made a great catch of
Groff's pass and rolled over the

gerous in the third quarter and
had the ball on the 20-yard line,
but the ''boys in blue" beat back
the attack and touched up the vic
tory with another touchdown.
Crawford again featured with
his line plunging. Time and again
when the opponents held Crawford
was called upon, and he never fail
ed to gain the required distance.
Smith handled forward passes
to perfection and raced away for
many long gains.
Handy, Cam and Taylor were
stars on the defense. Handy, tho
still handicapped by his injured
knee, proved a tower Of strength
and repeated his creditable show
ing of last Saturday.
Dougherty and Lynch were the
best ground gamers for Washing
ton.
Delaware plays Western Mary
land next Saturday on Frazer
Field and winds up the season with
the Carlisle Indian Reserves on
Thanksgiving Day.
First Quarter
Catholic University kicked off.
Cam ran the ball back to the mid
die Of the field. Delaware then
pulled off an unexpected forward
pass, Handy to Croft, which

fumbled and Catholic University
recovered the ball. Rogers then
skirted the end for long run and
had reached the middle of the field
before being dropped by Cam

Our article headed "The Lord
Helps Those Who Help Themselves,
in last weeks issue seems to have
struck a popular chord and we have
received manv compliments. Several
homesteaders have signifed their
willingness to subscribe to the stock
of this enterprise in a very liberal
manner. One homesteader who lives
about ten miles out told us he would
take 81, 900 worth Of the stock and the
beauty of it is that he has the motley
to make his word good. Others have
signified their Willingness to go into
the enterprise for all the way from
5000 to $500, and large number of
others have stated that they were
heartily in favor of the plan and
would subscribe to the stock OF the
company as literally asEthey could /.
Thus far we have not heard single
knock, and on the ether shand much
enthusiasm seems to be manifest and
all seem to realize that that the adop-
ton OF some such plan is the only
solution of our railroad problem.
Not single person we have talked
with but what thinks the plan feasible
and all want to see some steps taken
along this line at once. 1t would ap-
pear that all we need now to insure
the success of the enterprise is man
who is big enough, is honest enough
and will devote the proper amount of
time and keep everlastingly at it, and
the enterprise will be success. But
to find this particular man, that is
going to be some task.
Mrs. Francis Coleman last week
brought to our Office copy of the
Chicago Evening Journal of April q
1911. The paper is in very good
state of preservation and is quite q
curiosity compared with the modern
daily of today. We find about one,
half of the front page taken up with
small business and legal advertise
ments. The ad composition is very
poor. A news item states that Paris
is being bombarded and that another
revolution twas just starting in Mexico
Gold was was quoted at III, and
among the legal advertising we see
where the government was asking fol
bids on large numbers of supple:
and meat on the hoof fU the Indiar
tribes of the northwest. 1t is quite
an interesting number to peruse.
Sheriff Dick Jones was in towr
Wednesday on legal business. Dicl
says that since election he has beer
kept pretty busy running down Grim
finals, having made some eight or tel
arrests on criminal charges in tha
time. Quite few cases of horse anc
cattle stealing are among the crimes
charged.
