Something Doing at
Baraca-Philathea.

There is something doing at the Ba-
raca- Philathea Bible Class every Sun
day morning, and if you are missing
these meetings for the mere sake of an
extra snooze" or lazy hour" at
home or on the street, you are cheat

barassed but instead you will leave
with feeling of gladness that you
came Try it next Sunday.
In addition to a wide-awake practi-
cal interchange of ideas among the
members along lines of thought sug
gested by the lesson, a most attrac-
tive feature is the music led by the
Baraca orchestra. composed of violins
and trombone played by Messrs. Willie
and Henry Duerson and Pope Blythe.
To these was added last Sunday the
cornet played by Prof Otto Mailing.
who was visitor from Monticello. In
response to numerous requests for
more special music, we have the last
two Sundays had beautiful solos sung
by Carl Helmstetter, both of which be-
ing appropriate to the lesson, served
to impress more deeply the thoughts

by Willie Duerson to one of these was
also greatly enjoyed.
At the close of the lesson last Sun

Railroads Facing Crisis.

Iho case OF the railroads, winch are
undoubtedly facing a very grave crisis,
is one that demands the attention of
every citizen of the United States.
The case as presented by a committee
of railroad presidents has enlisted the
cooperation of President Wilson, who
in letter to their chairman, calls the
attention of the country to the imper-
alive need that railway credits be sus-
stained and the railroads helped in
every possible way, by private cooper
alton as we'll as governmental agencies.
In recent interview President Bush
of the Missouri Pacific says that
careful computation of the railroads
obligations shows that they are up
ward of $57s, 900, 900 in default at the
present time, 1874, 200, 900 of which
must be met before the end of this
year and 1853, 600, 900 between now and
the end of next year. 1t is needless to
say that if these obligations are not
met, other industrial interests de
pendent on the railroads will be in
juriously affected ,,on !

The probabilities are that for long
time to come American securities will
not find market in Europe. All sur
plus capital of that Continent will for
some years be required to replace the
destruction of property and repair the
ravages of war Nor is this all, fer
we shall likely have to repurchase a
large share of the nearly 5000, 900 of
American securities which are now
held in Europe This will throw upon
our own people the burden of financing
the railroad requirements for an indefi-
mite period.
1t is now quite generally known that
for long period back, even with good
prosperous times, railroad
have not been adequate for
requirements.
reductions and burdensome reg
prescribed by Federal and
authorities, together with largely
ased taxes and expenses for labor
and materials entering into the opera
ton of the roads, have so decreased

them without means to meet their
mortgage interest.
In suggesting remedies for the situa-
ton, Mr.. Bush says
Undoubtedly this great European war has

NEARLY LOST HIS Lift
COCKLEBURR IN THROAT

The Greensboro Inquirer of Fri
day says:
Quite an unusual accident which
will probably cost the life of Ernest
Armstrong, the 10-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Marion Armstrong,
who reside two miles east of yell
vington, occurred yesterday after
noon on the farm of Mr.. Armstrong,
when the boy swallowed Il cookie
burr. choking his windpipe and al
most shutting off his breathing pow
er completely.
While chasing a calf, which had
gotten out of the barnyard, young
Armstrong fell in the weeds and
filed his clothes with burrs. His
glove also contained several of the
"stickers." which he removed by
using his teeth, in child-like
manner. The boy accidentally swal-
lowed one of the burrs, and it lodg-
ed in his windpipe. His screams

er learned what had happened she
summoned physician and imme-
diate attention was given.
1t was found that the only hope
for relief lay in an operation and
young Armstrong was brought 10
Greensboro, where the operation was
performed shortly before 10 O'Clock
Thursday night, the burr being re-
moved. At first. it was thought he
could not live, but it was stated at
the hospital that the boy is very
much improved, with chances for
his recovery.

THE FOOT AND MOUTH
DISEASE-PREEAC TIONS

Suggestions to farmers and live
stock owners formulated by DIR. T.
NJ. Owens, United States Medical
Inspector, in charge of the Ken
lucky situation in the campaign
against the foot and mouth disease
among livestock, are as follows:
1T may appear first through
lameness. A peculiar smacking of
lips accompanied by drooling is
characteristic. AS the disease ad-
vances--very rapidly-large water
blisters will appear on the tongue,
gums, lips, udder or feet. Animals
will refuse food, or have difficulty in
eating. High temperature will de-
velop, with consequent loss OF
weight. During the last stages hoofs
may fall off and tongue will become
a great sore. Bursting blisters leave
sores which heal in one place only to
break out in another. When symp-
toms appear, immediately notify the
Kentucky Livestock Sanitary Board
or the Government officers. To de-
lay will endanger other animals.
"Precautions-Kee off your
neighbours farm and away from his
cattle. Disinfect barns, barnyards
and where cattle run, and all prem
ises. Do not so in to feed your cat
tie without first washing their booth
with a solution of bichloride OF mer-
curry. Better wear rubber boots and
rubber coat and cap until epidemic
is over. Do not feed your stock
skinned milk from creameries UNI
til epidemic has been stamped out
IL is we'll to keep stock locked up for
the present. Be careful of the feed
you give them. The germ is carried
in feed from infected districts. Keep
the entire premises cleaner than
ever. Clean out hog pens and sheep
pens and disinfect thoroughly and
frequently. Keep herds well sepa-
rated. Veterinarians who know lit
tie of this disease may take the in
lection to your herd after examin-
ing sick animals"

THE j. S. FLAG
IS HAULED down
Funston's Men Evacuate
Vera Cruz.
THE BATTLESAIpS WILL STAY
On the Mexican Coast To AT.
r ford Protection To
Americans.
HAVE BEEN THERE MONTHS

Washington. Nov. 22.-Brig. Gen.
Funston's infantry and marines,
numbering about 5000 men, to-mor-
row will haul down the stars and
stripes which have been flying over
Vera Cruz since last April and evac-
uate the Mexican port in accordance
with instructions from President
Wilson.
The five battleships at Vera Cruz
and Tampico and the string of YES
sells OH the West coast will remain
indefinitely. No orders have been
issued by Secretary Daniels to the
feet. They will continue to afford
by their presence protection TO
Americans and be in readiness to
meet emergencies.
1t was just seven months ago that
the bluejackets and marines under
Rear Admiral Fletcher seized Vera
Cruz by orders of the Washington
Government as an act of reprisal in
retaliation for affronts to the Amer
lean flag at Tampico. where boat
load of American bluejackets were
arrested. Gen Huerta, who con-
trolled the forces at Tampico, had
refused to comply with the demand
of Admiral Mayo for a salute OF
twenty-one guns.
Advices from Mexico to-day were
as confusing as they have been for
several days, but the determination
of the United States Government is
to withdraw the small army which
replaced the naval forces at Vera
Cruz and thereby remove from Mex
lean territory a possible cause of in
ternationaI friction, as well as po-
tential factor that might become a
domestic issue, as between the fac
tions In Mexico.
President Wilson is hopeful that
the evacuation of Vera Cruz will be
an enduring demonstration to Cen
trail and South American countries
of the policy of the United States
enunciated in his Mobile speech a
year ago to seek no territorial ag-
grandizement south of the Rio
Grande. The original purpose of
the occupation of the porto gain
satisfaction for an pffront to the
aag-having been accomplished, he
believes the continued presence of
American troops on Mexican soil
would be misinterpreted In Latin
America.
In Withdrawing from Mexican
soil the United States Government
mas taken pains that no faction shall
be recognized. All elements united
in requesting the American forces
to eyacuate, pledging the guaran-
tees requested by the Washington
Government. Gen Funston has no
specific orders to give the possession
of Vera Cruz to Gen. Aguilar or any
other chief. He has no Instructions
