Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1914-12-24

Last Saturday afternoon the w. c..
T. u. met at the High School building
in the commercial room instead of in
a private home. The reason for the
change of place was that very large
attendance was expected to hear Mrs.
Norma Nudge of st. Louis speak on
the subject of rusity." Because
Mrs. Mudge's husband was so very i'll,
at the last moment, she was unable to
leave him. Mrs. Wood, president Of
the local union, took charge of the
meeting and a free discussion on the
subject proved both interesting and
helpful. A good number Of mothers
and teachers were present.

school, of vigorous outdoor exercise,
of hygienic clothing and footwear, of
the seriousness of colds; of the i'm
portance of pure blood; of the vital
connection of right living, right eating,

Physiciography takes up the sub
ject of the earth's relation in the uni
verse; the relation of the physical
features to all life forms; the atmos-
phere; climatic fastors, such as tenn
perature, moisture, pressure, winds,
storm; glaciers, volcanoes; the work
of ice and snow, of rivers, winds and
similar geographic subjects. Several
field trips are taken to the college mu-
scum where roots, minerals and ohter
geological formations are studied; to
Pine River for all formations due to it's
action; and to the sand pit. Labora-
tory work correlates with field and
text book. The weather is observ-
ed for a definite period by each
student, the pressure, temperature, di-
rection of wind and the character of
precipitation being recorded. A map
is then made using the data thus gain
ed and the u. S. daily weather maps
are studied. The glacial period of
North America and Europe is charted
and its effect upon the life of the con-
tinent noted. The formation of the
Great Lakes region is investigated and
the various stages charted. In this
way rather brief notion is given of
some of the earht's gigantic processes
and wonderful phenomena.
The practically of nature study is
often made light of by the unthinking
public but its value is gradually be-
coming known. To be out of touch
with nature to have eyes and yet not
see the wonders of nature, to have to
cope with the forces of nature without
understanding their laws is a deplor-
able condition. Natural Science is one
of the subjects whose aim it is to do
away with his state and put one in a
congenial understanding relation with
his surroundings.

MAKING HOG CHOLERA SERUM

Oklahoma City, Dec. 27.-After a
cessation CT about two weeks during
the foot and mouth disease scare,
the states hog cholera serum plant
at saltwater has resumed operations
and is sending out the serum and
vaccine for prevention of the disease
Owing TO a ruling of the state
board OF agriculture, which makes it
illegal to supply virus TO any but
graduate veterinarians, the college
plant can not supply the farmers
with material for the simultaneous
double" method. However, the vet
erinary department of the college
has always discouraged the use of
serum and virus at the first treat
ment, but does encourage the inter.
mittent method. Vaccination with
serum alone and at the end of ten
days with both serum and virus, is
recommended Vaccination by serum

days to six months. and this is
often long enough to survive, the
dangers of a cholera epidemic or to
permit the marketing in good condi-
tion of hogs. Discrimination against
the common use by farmers and half
baked veterinarians of the virus is
justified, it is believed, by the fact
that in Iowa, Missouri and Kansas,
three great hog raising staes, much
of the heavy losses from cholera are
attributed TO the common use of
the double" treatment by persons
not trained in the handling of virus.
For some time past the veterinary
department at the college has been
sending out at actual cost TO the
farmers of the state about $4,000
worth each month of anti-hog chol-
era serum This amounts to about
800 for each working day of the
month.

EAGER FOR NEW DISTRICT.
Choctaw and Chickasaw Territory
Supporting Pending Bill.

Oklahoma City, Dec 27.-Lawyers
and others of the former Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations are enthusias-
tic over the pending bill in congress
for formation of third federal court
district of that territory. The bill
was introduced in congress by Con-
gressman Murray. 1t has the sup
port of the territory affected and the
lawyers are able to make a showing
as to the need for this additional
court which they deem ample argu-
ment for its establishment,
The new district will embrace ap-
proXimately all the former Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations with court
points at Ardmore, Durant, Chickasha
and McAlester. 1t is planned to
place Lincoln and Pottawatomie
counties, now in the western district,
in the eastern district. With the
single change in the old districts
the new southern district will be
approximately equal to each of the
others in matter of court business.

THE REINDEER
AND EDUCATION

''ln 20 years the reindeer industry
has made the Eskimos of Alaska civ
ilized and thrifty men," says the U. S.
Bureau of Education in a bulletin just
issued.
The reindeer industry began in Alas
ka, in 1892, when the bureau of educa-
tion imported from Siberia III rein
deer. The object of the importation,
according to the bulletin, was to fur
nish source of supply for food and
clothing to the Eskimos in the vicini-
ty of Bering Strait. This importation
was continued until 1902, and a total
Of 1880 reindeer were brought from
Siberia. There are now 1926 reindeer
distributed among 81 herds, and 30,
5S2 of these are owned by natives.
This industry has given to the Alas
kan Eskimos not only food and cloth
ing, but a means of transportation SUI
perior to dog teams. Instead of being
nomadic hunters eking out precari-
Gus existence on the vast untimbered
lands of the Arctic coast region, the
Eskimos," according to the bureaus
bulletin now have assured support
and opportunity to acquire wealth by
the sale of meat and skins to the white
men,"
The reindeer industry is carefully
guarded. "No native is permitted to
sell or otherwise dispose of a female
reindeer to any person other than
native of Alaska" This is done, the
bulletin states, lest white men de-
prive the natives of their reindeer
and destroy this great native inaus-
try which the bureau of education has
in the last 20 years built up and fos-
tered"
The reindeer service Is an integral
part of the educational system of the
bureau Of education for northern and
western Alaska. The district superin-
tendents of schools are also superin-
tendents of the reindeer service.
Promising and ambitious young ma
tives are selected by superintendents
as apprentices in the reindeer service,
receiving 6. s. or 10 reindeer at the
close of the first, second and third
years, respectively, and 10 more at
the close of the fourth year Upon
the satisfactory termination of his ap-
premiership, the native becomes q
herder. and assumes entire charge of
a herd

STORY
Of REVOLT IN
PHILIPPINES
QUEZON DECLARES FIlIPINOS
WOULD DEFEND AMERICAN
SOVEREIGNTY IF v. S. TROOPS
WERE WITHDRAWN.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Official con
firmation of native uprising in Ma
Mia, reported in press dispatches, was
still lacking at the war department
tonight forty eight hours after mes
sage of inquiry had been sent. The
report indicated that the uprising had
been promptly suppressed and was of
such a minor character that officials
of the insuar bureau did not view the
matter as justifying another message
asking for particulars. IT is assumed
that the delay is due to the absence
from Manila of GovernorGeneral
Harrison, who is on an inspection
tour among outlying islands of the
group.
The general staff has had no report
whatever of an uprising from Major
General Barry, commanding the u. S.
forces in the islands.
Army officers who have served in
the islands expressed entire conf
dence today in the loyalty of the
Philippine scouts, which, they said,
had been amply demonstrated In the
past, when both the scouts and the
constabulary rejected the overtures of
ambitious native leaders. The civil ad-
ministration Is said to have a splen-
didIy equipped secret service in oper.
alton and officials here believe there
is little possibility that the govern
ment could be taken by surprise.
Manuel Quezon, resident commits
sioner in congress from the Philip
pines, declared today he could not
credit reports of any serious disturb
ances in the islands.
'If the United States took It's troops
out of the Philippines today" he said
"the Filipino people could be relied
upon to defend American sovereignty
there. There is no revolt, | am GER
tain. There is no ground for revolt
or any specific grievance against the
United States. The Filipinos are CON
vinced that the people of the United
States are dealing with them in a
spirit of fairness and justice. There
may have been a local disturbance
which some people thought was an up
rising but there was no revolt. ] have
received a number of Christmas greet
ings by cable from Manila. Had there
been any revolt, | would have heard
of it, and did not. Previous reports
that it was necessary TO disarm
PHILIPPINE scouts on Corregidor al
ready have been denied by the insular
government
These reports of revolts will con
tinue as long as there is no definite
declaration of the United States as
to independence for the Philippines"
During the day Mr.. Quezon confer
red with officials of the insular bureau
and also cabled to the speaker of the
Philippine assembly that reports of
uprisings in Manila were being pub
lished in the United States. He had
received no reply tonight

EVERY OFFICER
Of THE CITY
IS INDICTED
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FIVE OFFICIALS ACCUSED OF
ELECTION FRAUDS, INCLUDING
MAYOR AND JUDGES.

tically every member of the city ad-
miniStration of Terre Haute is in the
hands of United States authorities Sat
urday night as result of the whole
sale arrests made there Saturday on
indictments charging conspiracy to
corrupt the election of November 3,
last.
Early Saturday night ninety persons
including Mayor Don Roberts, who is
candidate for the democratic nomina-
tion for governor in 1916; Dennis
Shea, sheriff of Vigo county; Circuit
Judge Eli II. Redman; City Judge
Thomas Smith, and other leading
Terre Haute politicians had been ia
ken into custody.
Unable to furnish bond of $4,000,
Mayor Roberts Saturday night was in
cIuded in a party of twenty-one of the
prisoners who had failed to provide
bond, and was being brought to this
city to be placed in jail. The others
had been released on bonds, ranging
from $500 to $4,000 each. Sheriff
Shea and Judge Rcdman We're given
their freedom on bonds of 100000
each late today.
Almost the only important official
pf Terre lIaute that has not been ar
rested by federal authorities is Ed
ward Holler, chief of police. Chief
Holler is now serving a sentence in
the Vigo county Jail for contempt Of
court. Frank G.. Daily, United States
district attorney for Indiana, who
conducted the investigation which re-
suited in the grand jury indictments,
said Saturday that Holler was among
those indicted but that he probably
would not be arrested until he had
completed his sentence in the Vigo
county Jail.
Steps taken by United States Mar
shal Storen in Terre Haute tonight in
dicate that other arrests are to be
ma de. 1t is said more than 125 per
sous were named in the indictments.
Mayor Roberts who is implied to be
the leader of the alleged conspiracy
to corrupt the Terre Haute election,
is charged with many overt acts in
the Indictment He Is accused of levy
ing assessments against proprietors
of saloons, dance halls, gambling
houses and resorts to be used for the
registration of voters; of hiring men
to transport repeaters from one pre-
cinct to another; of conspiring to-
place only men his money could in
iluence on certain election boards; of
ordering the arrest of certain persons
to prevent their voting, and of direct
ing the making of false registration
cards. Similar overt acts are named
against all those who have been ar
rested and charged with strong-arm
tactics in order to intimidate the elec-
torate 1t also is charged that the
postal laws were violated in that the
alleged conspiracy was furthered
through the mails. The federal author
tiles contend that inasmuch as a Unit
ed States senator and a congressman
were voted upon, the federal govern
ment has jurisdiction in the case.
