most beneficial. AS a matter of fact
the one report received by the depart
ment was an unofficial and unsolicited
statement sent presumably from the
promoters themselves. The depart
ment attaches no Importance whatso-
ever to this statement. 1t has no
reason TO believe in the efficiency of
any proprietary cure for hog cholera
and does not recommend any. Under
certain conditions it urges farmers to
protect their stock with anti-hog- chol-
era serum but that is all.
In connection with this attempt it
may be said that the medicine, which
is now put forward as good for hogs,
was advertised some time ago as
means Of killing tuberculosis, typhoid
and cancer germs, according to an
article published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association. At
that time it was asserted that the
army was interested in it. AS a mat
ter of fact the army was no more in
tereSted then than the department Of
agriculture is now.
In view of the evidence that the
attempt TO create this false impress
sion is persistent and widespread, all
hog owners are warned to communi-
cate with the United States authori-
ties before accepting as true any
treatment other than the serum al
ready mentioned.

BIG FRUIT CROP
FOR WESTERN MICHIGAN

Northport-G. NJ. Dame, who is
planning the big horticultural exhibit
for the state fair thus far reports
that his field men are meeting with
exceptional success in the matter of
interesting fruit growers in the mat
ter of preparing something extra fine
for the exhibit at Grand Rapids the
first week in September. So far his
men have covered the lake shore
counties of southern Michigan, and
have worked as far north as Manistee
They have also covered Grand TRAY
erse and CharlevoiX counties in this
part of the state and are now giving
their time and thought to Antrim,
Leelanau and Benzie counties.
These field men report that the out
look for big fruit crop, with the eX-
ception of peaches, is the best in the
history of the state. The spring has
been a satisfactory one for both the
cherry and apple crops, and the trees
give every indication of being loaded
to the limit. In Grand Traverse and
Lcelanau counties, the field men found
quite a number of peach buds, and it
is probable that fair peach crop will
be harvested in this section.

preston that this has been investi-

States government, has reached the
department of agriculture. Articles
praising this medicine, Benetol by

Dame in cooperation with the West
ern Michigan Development Bureau, is
arranging for the growing of much
larger crop of apples than usual.

ment of Western Michigan apples.
Invitations are being sent TO the fruit
commission men in Milwaukee, Chi
cago, Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland,
urging them to attend the fair and
see the varieties of apples on display,
and the quality of each. The purpose

shown by the fact that the most i'm
portant colleges of the state accept il

home economies, y in forestry and
two in veterinary medicine. Nearly
all these young men and women are

HINTS TO TEACHERS.
..............!. !....-l. .........;....s..;.....

If you wish to succeed as a teacher,
you must at once and forever abandon
the old, tiresOme, mOnOtOnous method
of instruction. The world is tired OF
too conservative instructors. Don't b,
one of that class, but imbibe plenty OF
good, healthy twentieth century ideas
and inhale the educational breezes OF
1914, which you will find far more
conducive to school room work than
are the vapors which emanate from the
tomb of Socrates.
BE original Cultivate the organs of
construction and identity more thai
that of imitation. Study to be yourself.
and be sure you have yourself as near
right as possible.
BE in earnest. Wake up before you
enter the school room; and when be
fore a class, disseminate rays of electric
vivacity in every direction.
BE sociable. Allow an occasional smile
to CLEAN out from behind the chaos of
an assumed dignity. If the sunshine
of real, whoe-souled laugh would in
your estimation, prove disastrous in thu
extreme; you can, at least venture to
contract the serenity of your features
until a smile penetrates the cObweb cur
tains which enclose your true nature.
BE progressive. If you have con
Quoted recitation without learning
something new-without coming to en-
terrain clearer views of the subject in
hand, or discovering some manner il
which you can improve upon your pres
ent methOds-then, l reverberate in a
highly pitched key that you ought to
be labeled as an excavation from the
ruins of Pompeii.
1t is not wise to lose sight of the
fact that every requirement should be
of such a nature that it can be utilized
Go where you will in this world of bus
mess and you will find that those who
are successful are invariably the per
sons who can turn accomplishments,
mental or physical, to some account
conseerate them to some purpose.

TWO ASSETS
Only Has the Democratic Party...the War
in Europe and the Ephemeral
Bull Moose Party

Washington, October 25.-COpgress-
man Frank p. Woods, of Iowa, Chair
man of the National Republican Con
gressional Committee, made the follow
ing statement today:
"The Democratic party enters the
concluding week of the campaign of
1914 with only two assets-the war in
Europe and the ephemeral Bull Moose
party. The Republican party is coming
back into power. Indications, today
point to the obliteration of the present
Democratic majority in Congress. There
is no longer the least doubt of sweep
ing Republican gains in every quarter
of the United States.
"The people are dissatisfied with
Democratic ineompetency. They are
weary of Democratic experiments. They
are tired of Democratic receptions.
There is good reason for this. The
American citizen has Jared poorly both
al home and abroad. Industry is stag
nant. Business is demoralized. Labor
is unemployed. The people are ready
for the restoration of the principles
of protection advocated by William Me
Kinley under which industry thrived
and the people prospered
"The Democrats in Congress have
been guilty of gross extravaganza. The
money they have spent with prohigate
waste has come from the constituents
of the very men sent to Congress to
conserve the Nation 5 wealth and to s.
minister its fiscal affairs economically. -
