In building cement block house
where stone is plentiful, It is good
plan Nto lay up a stone wall to the
grade line. and to plaster the wall on
the outside with a layer of cement
mortar to keep the dampness from
the ground from striking through into
the cellar. The top of this stone wall
also receives a coat Of cement mortar;
in fact the stones that compose the
walls are laid in cement. and the in

He never leaped before he looked; he

Yet all his days he had TO drudge; the

When he had. in his cautious way, found
out that It was fair.

Both Have Rights.

Roy Harrison, a young farmer
living west of Fulton paid a fine of
$25 last Thursday afternoon for re-
fusing to give an automobile room
to pass him on the road. He plead
ed guilty before Justice J.. B. Hyde,
of Fulton, and his fine and costs
amounted to about $25.
The complaint against Harrison
was instituted by E. N. futile, of
this.city. futile was riding in his
automobile on the Columbia road
Monday evening of last week and
overlook Harrison, who was driving
team hitched to an empty two
horse wagon. Harrison held the road
for more than a mile and prevented
the machine passing him. During
that time futile climbed into Harri-
sons wagon and asked that he give
half the road, and Harrison told
him to get by the best way he could.
The law requires persons in We
hicles to give half the road to per-
sons in other vehicles who want to
pass them. Persons with teams
have no right to obstruct the way
of persons in automobiles, and on
the other hand, persons in automo-
biles are obliged to recognize the
rights of persons in bugeies and
wagons. The minimum penalty for
violating the law is a fine of $25.-

the disease and taking away its ter
rors, and the simultaneous treat
ment is the most effective way we
now have of doing that. The re-
suits of vaccination are very excel
lent, and it has fulfilled all its prom
Uses. BY vaccination we have hog
cholera in our power, but of course
we must be alert todiscover a
Simultaneous treatment that is alb
soIutely dangerless."
Doctor Schern insists strongly
that it must not he thought that
hog cholera can be fought and con-
trolled by vaccination alone. That
is impossible" he says. Sanitary
measures and disinfectlon must 90
hand in hand with vaccination. 1t
is unfortunate that Iowa and other
states largely devoted to animal in
dustry do not fully appreciate these
facts. We must not expect an
eradication of hog cholera by the
simultaneous treatment in its pres
ent form. We must try to discover
dangerless simultaneous treatment
if we are to eradicate the disease
by vaccination and by sanitary
measures; or. if this discovery seems
impossible. we must later on use
serum alone treatment, because that
is without danger.
But before we depend on the
serum alone treatment the state
must organize for better sanitary
regulation of live stock. To do this.
it should locate veterinary health
officer in every county to direct
vaccination work and enforce other
sanitary regulations. He must be
specially trained and kept in touch
with the newest results of investi-
cations. With such a man in every
county, hog cholera can soon be put
under control
1T is a matter of regret that so
much space is given in journals
and newspapers to the utterances
and articles of men who attack Sc
rum treatment for hog cholera
either because they do not under
stand it or for other reasons. They
present wrong and out-of-date ideas
concerning the disease, which do nc
good, but merely make the farmer
doubtful and suspicious, and preju.
dice him against the only good way
we have now of controlling hog
cholera. The control of infectious
I diseases is based on scientific knowl
edge; it is not guesswork. The
newspapers can and should have 6
large part in giving farmers cor
rect understanding of hog cholera
thereby they would not merely ben
