HOGS AFFLICTED With Various Dis
eases-Davenport packing companies
have lost many hundreds Of dollars
this winter from ulcers formed in
the hams OF hogs which have been
vaccinated with the hog cholera ser
um. To prevent a continuation of this
loss vaccination in the shoulder in
stead of the ham is to be urged on
all Scott county veterinarians. This
will not prevent the liberation OF the
shoulder, but as that part OF the hog
e. less valuable than the ham the
change is being advocated to mini
nize the loss. Ulcers do not develop
in the majority Of cases following vac
cination with serum II the serum Is
administered by a competent yeter-
marian who observes all sanitary pre-
cautions there is little chance OF in
lection. But in many cases where the
yaccinating is carelessly done infec-
ton results and an ulcer develops
Sometimes the ulcers are on the sur
face, but at other times they are
formed deep in the flesh OF the ham.
In the latter case case there is
heavy loss to the packers. To pre-
vent this is the future the Scott Coun-

among the most valuable of the large
collection in the rathskeller. Their
loss was discovered by attendants last
night and a thorough investigation OF
the disappearance of the missing valu-
ables has thrown little light on the
solution of the mystery. 1t is not be-
Iieved that any of the attendants are
responsible for the loss and as the
patronage of the club is of a limited
number and no strangers have been
noticed there lately the only theory
which has so far been given credence
is that some collector OF antiques has
taken the stems TO add to a private

JAPAN'S GROWTH As NATION
cogsnt Reasons Why Foreign Com
munIties In Country Hold I'm
friendly Sentiments.

I. Miyaoka, formerly councillor In
the foreign Office, Is a widely known
lawyer practising in Toxic and Yoko-
hama He says:
There II a historic cause to the
growth Of antiJapaness sentiment
among certain sections OF the foreign
community In japan. During the regime
of foreign consular Jurisdiction foreign
ers regarded themselves as a superior
and q privileged class. The compare
lively infantile stage OF Japan's mate
rial civilization, the system Of segrega-
ton under which foreigners lived in
Japan, their absolute ignorance of the
Japanese language and literature, their
exemption from the territorial jurisdic-
ton, all combined to make foreigners
sincerely believe that they belonged to
a much superior type of humanity. The
abolition of consular Jurisdiction, the
resumption of judicial, fiscal and adj
ministrative power by Japan owe for
eign residents In the country, the re-
suit of the two foreign wars that Ja-
pan had waged within ten years, the
abolition of the system of foreign set
Element, the growth of more intimate
relations both commercial and indus
trial between Japanese and foreign
ers, all these facts combined to give
to a much larger percentage of for
eigners In Japan a more correct and
intimate knowledge OF the Japanese
character, things and life.
ION the other hand. the awakening
of the Japanese people to their power,
their aspirations to become q world
power, their keen desire to compete
with Europeans and Americans in the
neutral markets OF the world have
created a sense of resentment among
the minor section of the foreign COM
munity. Thus foreigners In Japan are
divided into two camps, pro and anti
Japanese. and 1t is the minority that
makes the largest noise"

Fashioned grandmother" In

One need only scan the Situation
Wanted" column of the daily papers
to find that women workers are wan
dering away from beaten tracks and
trying out their moneymaking ideas.
One finds also that because a wom-

not meekly resign herself to the no
ton that she has no earning capacity.
She simply sets her wits to work
and originates a niche for herself

just such q woman is needed-oh, so
badlyi-a home where either there is
no mother or one who is an invalid,
unable to cope properly with the de-
mands of a growing brood of school
children.
Can't you imagine how valued an
"old-fashioned grandmother" would be

1t would not be necessary for her

il coupled with the art of reading

the schools OF Idaho for last year, Of
1875 per cent. The Rathdrum grade
school reports an average daily atten :
dance OF q per cent for the past
five months-a record Of which to be
proud. Such high rate of attend
ance means high grade OF efficiency.
