Official Canvass of
Votes Shows Gain
For Judge Foster

A gain Of thirty votes for Police Judge
Charles E. Foster over his democratic
opponent. r. J. Madden. Is the principal
net result so far in the official canvass
OF election returns now in progress at the
election commissioners office. These
changes are from the First. Second, Third
and Fourth wards, which are all that
have been canvassed so far.
The election figures on police Judge. as
counted unofficially gave Foster 1857
votes and Madden f.799. The official
canvass showed n loss % ten votes and
gain Of one vote for Madden in two
precincts, all the others canvassed being
correct. In the official count, Judge
Foster gained a total OF twenty-one and
lost none In the four wards.
Lead More Than Doubled.
Thus the totals, as corrected with the
official count on the first four wards,
eiyb Foster 1908 votes and Madden 7790.
Foster, therefore. has lead OF l1s votes,
instead of 81, as previously indicated by
the unofficial totals.

WHY STOCK IS BEING KILLED
Twentieth Century Farmer Expert
Saws Government is Right
DISEASE Is MOST INFECTIOUS
~ one Cow In a Herd Contracts the
Disease p IL soon COmmuni-
Gated 60 the rest of the

"Ths question has come to us from sew

are wondering why II is necessary for the
government in its fight against the foot
and mouth disease 10 kill as many cette
as IL is doing" says r. y. Russell asso
c,ate editor OF the Twentieth Century
Farmer.
I'VE put this question to DR.. Kigin'

marian; DR.. Howe. chief inspector In TINS
district for the government, with head
o,arters nj Denver; DR. Merdock, gov
ernment inspector at South Omaha, and
Dr. Simonson, a practitioner OF Hooper,
and asked them whether or not IN the"
op,njon this drastic measure was abso-
luteiy necessary. Each of them fepheu
that while they had had no personal eH-
perience in combating the disease theS
were firmly OF the opinion that the gov
ernment was following the only method
by which the disease can be wipsd out
'"rhese authorities assert that the FOOT
and mouth disease is without doubt the
most infectious disease among animals'
that on account of it's infectious nature
a a. practically impossible TO prevent the
disease from spreading through an eii
tire herd should one OF the animals IN
this herd become affected. II II evident
that II several animals in any herd should
get the disease II could easily be carried
ON a persons shoes, or by dogs, cats and
birds of various kinds to other premises
These gentlemen point TO the fact that
the United States government In four
previous outbreaks of this disease In this
country has been successful In entirely
wiplng It out, and the methods pursued
in former outbreaks were the same a.
are now being pursued.
THE fact that our government mas
been successful in entirely eradicatine
the disease In former outbreaks. while
other countries have only been able u
hold II in check, seems to justify the
methods being used. Farmers and stoch'
men should lend every assistance to the
authorities in their work of combating
this terrible disease. Should any farmer
or stockman notice any trouble with hi'
cattle, sheep or hogs In the nature OF
aore mouth or a sore In the cleft OF th'
hoof. they should without delay call
competent veterinarian that they may be
sure OF the trouble and notify at once
their state veterinarian. II will be money
in their pocket in the long run to take
prompt action"
