URGES FIGHT ON HOG CHOLERA
Dr.. Cow Gives Methods to be Recommended
 In Coming Farm Campaign.

So tremendous have been the losses in Arkansas from hog chol- era that the people are aroused to the necessity of checking the rav- ages of this disease. There are effective methods of preventing cholera from spreading in com munity, and ways of saving large part of the herd if cholera strikes it. In the Profitable Farming cam paign to be carried on in Arkansas in November, stress will be laid on hog cholera, and the people urged to adopt effective methods of pre- aention.
 Hog cholera is carried by owners of diseased hogs visiting other farms; by owners of well hogs yis iting farms on which there are dis eased hogs; by the purchase of new stock; by dogs, cats, and oth CT animals, and by pigeons, crows, buzzards. and other birds; by pas turing well hogs close to sick ones; by infected streams; by hunters, careless hog buyers and visitors, and on the wheels of vehicles.
 The methods for preventing hog cholera from reaching a herd are based on common sense sanitation. The first thing to do is to clean up the hog pens. After cleaning up the pens. purify them with lime. Then keep them pure .and clean, and procide wood ashes and slacked lime, coke or coal for the hogs to eat.
 If your hogs have cholera stay at home. If your neighbors' hogs have it. stay away. Keep the hogs from running streams when cholera is in the neighborhood. Have a dipping vat and use it regularly. Have a bath for the hogs. too Hogs prefer the bath to the wallow A platform bath tub six feet square and six inches deep is best, for 1t can be moved from place to place as needed. This bath will do away with the wallow. Hog cholera germs live from year to year in the wallow.
 If hog is sick and cholera is sus- pected, get him away from the well hogs at once; kill him and have a veterinarian examine him and de- termine definitely whether he has cholera. No time should be lost. If it is cholera, burn the remains. Then turn your attention to the rest of the herd Send wire to your Agricultural College; or to some Government-inspected firm. asking for enough serum to vaccinate the hogs. Have this serum injected by a veterinarian-don't try to do it yourself unless you are experienced at it.
 Caution is urged in the use of the double treatment serum and virus together. Serum = the single treatment nt'-makes hogs immune from cholera for from 30 to so days. Virus is condensed hog cholera and when you inject virus you give the hog cholera. The use of serum at the same time coun- teracts the effect of the virus and makes the hog permanently inn mune. This is the double treat ment" and is used mostly for pure bred breeding stock and on young hogs that will be on the place long time. When the double treat ment is thought necessary always have it given by an experienced hog cholera man. pr. R. M. Cow.

Cruce to Revoke Pardons.

Governor Cruce announced that he
will revoke all pardons and paroles
issued during his absence by Lieu
tenant Governor McAIester. except
those that were recommended by the
Board of Prison Control during his
absence. This will include the par
dons issued by the Lieutenant Gov
ernor in cases where the board had
recommended and Governor Cruce
had refused them.
The governor said he had assur-
ance from the Lieutenant Governor
before he left the state that his acts
would be confined to those cases
where the board made recommends
tions during his occupancy of the
office. Governor Cruce is surprised
that action was taken in other cases
1t is likely all the McAlester par
dons, with one OF two exceptions will
go to the courts for a test of their
validity.

PROTECTION PLEDGED
BY NEUTRALITY TREATY
Believe Troops Will Have to Be

by the United Press.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-American
troops will probably be dispatched to
guard the Pekin- MulSden railway ac-
cording to the war department today.
Inasmuch as the English and French
have evacuated that section OF
Chinese territory through which the
railway runs, it will undoubtedly de-
volve upon the American government
to furnish protection under the Chin
ese neutrality treaty. The French and
English were assigned this protection
duty under the treaty
General Barry, in command of the
Philippines, has been investigating
the Chinese situation, and he is in
clined to believe that troops will have
to be sent as the railway guard.
The war department expected today
that troops would have to be sent
from the Philippine Islands, although
the quota of men there now is none
too large Drafts from any other por-
ton of the American forces would
cripple the efficiency of the service, 1t
was believed.
While war department officials were
unanimous today in agreeing there is
no extraordinary excitement over the
Far Eastern situation, they said that
the Philippines are being armed and
provisioned rapidly. In part, the rea-
son for this is u comprehensive arma-
ment plan sanctioned by Congress,
but high official of the army general
staff admitted that the Far Eastern
question lends some background to
the activity. Ammunition, which two
years ago was insufficient for one
days brisk fighting in the islands,. has
been replenished just how much is
now on hand the general staff would
not divulge for military reasons. Cor
regidor fort, a strong defensive point
on the island coast, is understood TO
be undergoing heavy provisioning.
The chief complication the Far
Eastern problem has lent thus far in
the islands, is the harboring of un-
neutral vessels, many of which ii has
been suspected sought to use the
Philippines as 81 base of supplies for
Vessels at sea.
The Armament plan of the islands,
AS 9dtlineG ny staff officer today, is
that the islands shall be so strongly
eauipped that they can Withstand an
assault until such time as the navy
could arrive and use the islands as an
offensive base. IT is understood that
arms. ammunition and men are now
up to the full legal quota.

WANT CONGRESS
TO RECESS UNTIL
AT TER ELECTION
Southern Democrats, Blocking
Adjournment, Offer Conpro-
mise in Deadlock.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-End of
the adjournment deadlock was in
sight for Congress today Several
plans were under consideration by
party leaders for final getaway
and dissipation of the hlibuster of
the southern Democrats fighting for
legislation to relieve the cotton sit
uation.
Conferences to reach a plan to ad-
journ today were held between the
cotton insurgents and Democratic
leaders before the Senate and House
reconvened today. Confidence was
expressed that some plan TO end the
situation would be found.
Trains today were crowded with
congressman leaving the city, despite
the adjournment deadlock. Hepubli-
can Leader Mann had given the word
to his flock in the House to leave
despite the adjournment situation
and cotton filibuster. Both the Senate
and House were without a quorum
today, and with little prospects of
getting one by a resolution ordering
return of absentees. 1t was not be-
lieved the cotton filibuster had suf-
ficient strength to pass such a reso-
luton.
~ recess uiltll dlleI- IAe -NONeTlDef
elections, with a promise TO then
take up cotton legislation, was the
compromise sought by the cotton
contingent. Foes Of the cotton fill
busterers also belligerently proposed
that President Wilson exercise his
constitutional powers to arbitrarily
adjourn Congress in the deadly sit
uation. Others suggested that the
cotton contingent be left here alone
while everybody else went home to
campaign.
The cotton States members pro-
fessed little apprehension over the
latter plan, as most of them have
been renominated in Democratic dis
tricts where nominations are equiva-
lent to election.
Senator Hoke Smith and Repre-
sentative Henry, of Texas respective
eaders of the cotton filibuster in
the Senate and House. insisted today
however. that the cotton filibuster
would be continued and all adjourn
ment blocked unless promise was
made to take up cotton legislation
either after an 'oyer-elections' re-
cess or early in December.
