Three struaaIes in Proaress

London, Sept. 12.-Three tremend-
Gus struggles are waging along as
many battle lines and from none of
them comes a report of decisive re-
suit. The mystery of the western
operation is complicated by the news
from Berlin, which ignores General
Won Kluck's efforts on the German
right, while indicating that the Ter
man attack on Verdun is proceeding
successfully.
Official reports conveyed to the
Bavarian sixth corps seem to indicate
that the army merely expected to pre-
vent the sending of allies reinforce
nents northward. If the German at
tack on the southerly exposure of
Verdun, assisted by the great siege
guns, succeeds, the complete invest
ment of Verdun will be insured

How Hog Cholera is Being
Combated.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 80
The Department Of Agriculture,
during the past year, has been
conducting campaigns in Indiana,
Missouri Iowa and Nebraska to.
control the contagious disease
of hogs known as ''hog cholera
by means Of anti-hog-eholera Sc
rum and farm quarantines. In
one county (Pettis county Mis-
souri) where there was a loss of
is per cent in 1911 and 25.6 per
cent in 1912 of all hogs raised,
there was only a loss Of lat
per cent up to November 1913.
This decrease was due to the use
OF the serum, which, although
not used there by the Depart
ment' s agents until August, 1913,
materially reduced the loss. A
bout 10000 hogs were raised
during the past year and Of the
10000 that died Of the hog
cholera only about II 900 were
lost after the active use of the
serum and quarantine measure:
were maugurated.
In every county where these
measures were employed, ever
though begun after the disease
had continued its ravages fol
some time, there was less loss
from heg cholera than in either
of the two preceding years.
In addition to its great
function as a preventive, it has
been found that the antihOg-chOl
era serum would cure a large

EARLY S
Retail Clerks Union Work
Along Right Lines.

The Retail Clerks Union,
which was organized in Licking
ington last summer, is making
an effort to cut the hours of la
Dor shorter wherever it will not
conflict too much with actual
necessity or the accommodation of
the public. Their purpose is to
have the stores of Lexington
close every evening, except Sat
urday and pay day, at o'clock.
There isno good reason why this
shouldn't be done. The people
of Lexington are, along q great
many lines, already accustomed
to do their shopping within the
hours Of Z O'clock a. m. and G
o'clock p. M, and to extend it in
every other business wouldn't
work a hardship on anyone. A
union card win be found in every
store entering tins agreement.

Hog cholera is a disease which
seems to be stopped to a degree
by the fr0sts Of winter, although
frost cannot be said to stop q
case after it has taken hold Of its
victim. However, it seems to
prevent the rapid spread Of the
disease. The result is that in
spring time the affection is as a
rule at the lowest ebb but in
creases rapidly from that time
until fall.
Hog cholera does not seem to
affect any particular breed OF
hogs more than another, and
while generally the careless far
mer is more apt to have the dis
ease among his hogs than the
careful one, the disease some
tones occurs where the copdi-
tens r sanitary. 1t is hoped
that the work may be extended
gradually until the disease is
completely controlled or elimi-
rated. The fact that hog chol-
ela is carried not only by the
hogs themselves, but by birds
dogs, streams and even on the
feet of men going from pie farm
to another shows how necessary
it is that the campaign be thor.
ough and that farmers exert
their best efforts to assist in the
work.

but Is per cent during the past
summer, OF well hogs in diseas-
ed herds, 2.8 per cent died af-

exposed herds less than l per
cent died after being inoculated
with the serum. In an infected
herd there is always a certain
proportion of hogs that are well.
The Inspector examines the
hogs when he arrives, takes the
herd and separates the sick from

an indication of the sickness. The

manufacture Of serum to cure
this disease. This serum re-
l Quires special treatment to pre-
serve its quality and a qualified
man to produce it. Sufficient
serum to treat an average hun

ty cents at a liberal estimate.

Electrical and railroad equipment

that Hongkong soon may be on easy

The imports of eggs from China have
caused some of the surplus Of Alberta

port that it will not be long before
