MEASURES
To Be Observed In Avoiding
FOOt.and-MOuth Disease.

Foot-and.Mouth disease is higl "
infectious and may be carried on The
shoes of persons who have access to
an infected herd. The disease m ay
also be carried on wheels Of vehicles
and in vsriouI other WAYS. Hence
one method of spreading the infec.
ton results from the VISITING of in
fectei farms by farmers and other
persons intent on seeing the disease.
From an educational standing. farm
ers and cattle men are, in measure.
justified in desiring to observe the
disease at first hand. yet the danger
resulting from this greatly over al
enc the information to be gained
and is practice which should be con-
demned by all having the inie .ests of
live stock raisers at heart. Dogs and
cats should be kept ted up, a nd every
method employed to destroy pigeons,
ouzzards. sparrows and other car
riers OF the infection. Bird, and
dogs are not susceptible to the dis.
ease but are capable of sprt aiding
the infection to adjoining farms.
1t is imperative that all suspt C ed
cases of foot-and-mouth disease be
reported to State and Federal au-
thorities at once. and that no animals
suffering from this disease be con.
cealed. They will eventually beIun-
cover d in the routine inspection
which will involve long quarantine
of the en- ire State and which works
hardship on TIE people and causs
great depression in business. Some
farmers are not aware of the serious
ness Of this disc ase and The inconven.
fence it will bring about until sup
pressed. The heartiest cooperation
should be forthcoming from all cat
tlemen. All suspected cases should
be reported to DR.. S. F. MusseIman,
State Veterinarian, Louisville, Ky.
There is no known cure for this
disc ase. There are several remedies
suggested flom unreliable sources
that are absolutely worthless, both
as preventives and as cures for this
dsesse. Do not buy any remedies
for this purposa. regardless of testi,
m mails. -
Avoid sure cures" and so.callet
serums for this disease. and not per.
NIT the promulRators Of same or

fected herds.

Thirtyfour United States senators,
one-third of the membership of the
upper house, will be chosen in the
elections next week Tuesday. These
elections will be notable from the fact
that for the first time in the history
of the government the results will be
determined by the direct votes of the
people instead of by the votes of state
legislatures, the recent amendment to
the federal constitution providing for
the direct method of selection. OF
the thirty-four senators whose places
will be filled eighteen are Democrats
and sixteen are Republicans.

GUS highways are of the most per-
manent type of highway construction
now known to road builders. Progress
has been made upon several other
routes. Perhaps the most important of
these is the northern route across the
state, from Boston to the New York
line, by way of Fitchburg, Athol Deer
field, North Adams and Wiliamstown.
The Mohawk trail, as that section of
this route which trayerses Florida
mountain, between the Deeriield valley
and North Adams, has been christened,
has been formally dedicated and is
now open to traffic. The state road on
this northern trunk route has now
been completed between Boston and
Deerfield and between Charlemont and
Williamstown. During the coming year
it is almost certain that the existing
gaps in Shelburne and Charlemont will
be filled in. Although the highway com
mission has not yet accepted the con
crete road as a definite advance over
t he bituminous macadam of which the
vast majority of its highways are con
strueted, experiments along this line
are being made. Some expert road
builders believe that with the constant
| ly increasing automobile traffic. some
thing more durable than the macadanl
road is needed, and it is probable that
in the next few years more attention
will be paid to the building of the con
crete roads.

Once or twice a week some Boston
paper prints a table of the last market
quotations as they were made in July
when the stock markets of the world
closed on account of the European war
Since then, presumably in order to
prevent the flooding of the markets by
the unloading of American securities
held abroad and a great drop in val
ues, it has been impossible to sell
stocks, except at private sale or
through the committees of the several
stock exchanges. Persons with stocks
to sell are by no means sure of find
ing anybody who wants to buy their
particular goods. People who want to
buy certain stocks are never sure that
they can find anybody who wishes to
sell them. Consequently, all dealings
in solid stocks have been curtailed
very badly and doubtless the losses
have been great. 1t is encouraging
news that efforts are being made to
reopen the stock markets. Their clos
ing has been great detriment to
business.

Baptist Halloween Party.

The Ladies Aid society of the
Baptist church held Halloween en-
tertainment and social in the vestry
last evening, at which there was a
large attendance. The vestry was very
effectively decorated with Halloween
pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns. A mu-
steal program was given which was
greatly enjoyed, consisting of violin
solo by Lowell Patch; piano solos by
Miss Eleanor Richardson and Miss
Fern Nourse; duet by Misses Fern and
Elsie Nourse; vocal SOLO by Mrs. Har
old Blodgett; solo by Miss Mary
Prouty. A farce entitled Ghost School
was given, also tableau entitled The
Star Spangled Banner, and both were
very pleasing. The entertainment
closed with a goodnight drill by the
children dressed in nightgowns and
carrying candles. This part of the en-
tertainment was very pretty and was
an appropriate ending of the evening 3

As the result of a nationwide canvass,
the New York Herald finds that the
Democrats will control the next House of
Representatives, but by a decidedly re
duced majority Information from reliable
quarters points to the conclusion that the
Democrats will have a margin of about
43 over the Republicans in the next
House. The Democratic plurality in pres
cnt House is 1853, or 167 if four vacancies
caused by the retirement of Democrats are
included. Those returns indicate a loss
of % seats by the Democrats and fur
ther gain by the Republicans of IL seats
from the Bull Moosers. The Herald's fig
ures at this stage indicate that the Demo
cratic majority will be somewhere between
10 and 80. The New York Worlds fig
ures are very close to this estimate.

Mr.. Ironsides said:
''The Vermont legislature of 1912

the Republicans of the last legislature

valuable. Certainly, the laboring man
has no reason for complaint at the
hands of the Republicans in the last
legislature.
Asked if he approved of the plank il
the Republican platform relating to {
workingmen s compensation law, Mr.
Ironsides said 1.-THE plank is entirely

such rarity that the coming of Arthur
Hammerstein s high class production,
The FREELY, to the Auditorium to-
night will be appreciated by all
theatergoers who enjoy clean, de-
liciously pleasing musical play, with
the score Astounding in sparkling mel

Mr. Hammerstein S pet star, Edith
Thayer, the little will-o the wisp
prima donna, will head the aIl-star cast
that has been selected to portray the
characters of The Firefy.
The charming story of the play has
been built around winsome little
heroine and Miss Thayer fits into the
role perfectly. The part seems to have
been created for her especial benefit
Her voice, a mellow soprano, is strik-
inglv beautiful and clear, and in her
singing it has been said that she dis
plays the technique of an Eames or a
Melba and that her voice reminds one
of FRITZ Scheff when that prima
donna was in her prime.
The FREELY is combination of the
genius of Otto Hauerbach, who wrote
High links, Three Twins, Madame But

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER %, 1914.

There is a growing indication that vic
tory will rest ultimately with the allies.
Germany is putting forth its most furious
efforts, but cannot get ahead appreciably,
but is rather losing more than is gained.
No stronger forces can be put in the field
than now. On the other hand, the allies
can bring up stronger reinforcements as
soon as they have been drilled into shape
In due time Germany's exhaustion will
tell and then retreat must come.

How the Democrats Fooled Us.
NASHUA Telegraph

In the campaign of 1912 the Demoe-
raey appealed to the people to place
them in power so that they might re
duce the great cost of government.
They told the people that if we would
entrust them with power they would
reduce the cost of governing the nation.
How have they kept their promise? In
stead of reducing the cost of govern
ment they have increased it by more
than $S0,000,00 a year for the two
years they have been in power. They
have already made the appropriations
for the year 1915 and here is the rec
ord of appropriations made under the
Republican and Democratic control:
