HERMAN GOES ID
 INVESTIGATE CASE
 OF CATTLE DISEASE
Same Trouble That Caused Closing of Chicago Stock Yards Reported to Have
 Broken Out in Mississippi

pr. J. A. Kiernan, federal inspector of the bureau of animal industry, sta tioned in Birmingham. left last night for Como, Miss, to investigate the reported case of foot and mouth disease in that place. It Is this disease among cattle which has caused the closing of the stock yards in Chicago for 10 days.
 'The foot and mouth disease is very contagious among all sorts of live stock. particularly cattle and hogs" said pr. Kiernan. "The fatality Is not great. but the disease spreads very rapidly and as 1t dries a COW completely up she Is useless after she has become infected
 One animal in herd may have the disease today and tomorrow 1t will have spead to every animal in the herd. The disease is characterized by ves- icles forming in the mouth and about the hoofs which break and form ulcers. The system used by the United States in fighting the disease is to kill every infected animal at once and this nas been much more successful than the sim pie quarantine plan of Germany and Italy
 Fifteen of the bureaus tick eradi- cators in the south have already been de- tached and hurried north to help in the fight against the epidemic of foot and
 mouth disease. case was reported fin Como. Miss. today and l am going over | to verify it."

 sion of Legislature

Weakley. a member of the Jefferson county delegation,
 It Is necessary that the auditorium be designated a public building as are courthouses. city halls, fire stations and the like. in order that the bonds can be sold. The bond issue recently carried overwhelmingly. but the attorneys for bond companies. were not inclined to ap- prove the issue until that section of the law was cleared up

COTTON SITUATION SHOWS BETTER TONE Further Progress Made To- ward Liquidating Old
 Future Contracts

New York, November 6.-The cotton sit patton has shown continued improve ment during the past week Further pro- gress has been made in clearing up the entanglements resulting in the futures trade in the sudden closing of the ex- changes last July. The Liverpool ex- change reopened today. permitting the liq- uidation of old business and fresh buy ing orders. In the local market the con- ference committee has been securing the signatures of members to various agree ments necessary to the contamination of the corporation-syndicate plan for taking over the old interest and 1t is expected that court order soon will be secured permitting the sale of Bell contracts. es- timated at 5000 bales, to the proposed corporation at Sc.
 There has been no renewal of straddle liquidation owing to the refusal of local longs to put their cotton in the ballot un- der 7.01c for December generally, while further advances have been reported in south spot markets with prices fully 1c up from recent lows at some of the in- terior points, and with an increasing de- mand reflected in freer movement
 Domestic mills are still said to be buy. inG slowly or holding off at the advance but exporters have paid the higher prices and while demand may have slackened somewhat since the filling of October en. gagements or as a result of increasing cost of ocean freight local brokers said today that so far they had no evidences of increased selling pressure. Holders ars believed to be encouraged by favora bl' prospects for the operation of the cottor pool scheme for financing further sup plies. The frosts reported over the bell toward the end of October do not appear to have caused any material change oi sentiment as to the crop. and full gin ming returns are expected from the cen sus bureau on Monday.

EASTERN STAR READY
 FOR TOTS FESTIVAL
Annual Chidren's Affair to be Held
 Thursday Night.

Again the ladies of the Order of the Eastern Star bring attention to the children's annual festival to be held in Masonic hall on Thursday evening of this week. Mothers of the order with infants, three to two years old are urged to communicate with Mrs. Geo. F. Merryman, 369 North Second avenue by mail or telephone 651, for informa tion that will assist preparatory to the service.
 Mothers are requested to decorate the baby's go-cart and bring the babys along in their own conveyances. This will probably add to the babies tro- phies.
 Mrs. Merryman says:
 We have something for every baby Don't leave them at home We want them all. Any one will be missed. All the children that still have the family name. no difference what the age,- that is a question not asked-are ex- pected to be present A go.d time is assured them

him that yes or no" to the Ameri- can demand was all that remained for him to say and that nothing that was to be done would bear the construc- tion of recognition of the Huerta regime
 In the meantime tentative plans are being made, for the congressional lead CTS were busy today studying prece- dents for the resolution which will con- Ter plenary war powers on the pres- dent. The measure probably will fol- low, to some extent, a war resolution which became effective April 20. 1898 against Spain. The resolution, after reciting the conditions in Cuba and the destruction of the battleship Maine. recognized the independence of Cuba, and called upon Spain to withdraw it's forces from the islands
 The resolution then preceded to empower and direct the president to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States and to call into ac- tual service the United States militia of the several states to such an ex- tent as may be necessary to carry these resolutions into effect
 The form and substance of the reso- lution to be presented in the event of movement against Huerta, however will depend largely upon President Will sons wishes.

TT PAYS TO BE GOOD There is nothing par l tcuary original about that statement, but it IS one worth keeping in mind, and as true as 1t was on the first day it was ever written in copy book. It may not be the highest kind of rule of conduct but it's simple one and easily remembered. Above ail it Is practical and that amounts to good deal Tn this matter-of-fact world. In the end believe 1t will outweigh all the essays and ethics of the retormers and do more than anything else to bring about the millennium of advertising There is always certain proportion of men who will do right for rights sake but they, probably, are not displeased with the fact that it bad investment, and Tor the majority n is fortunate that common honesty and decency are not expensive.
 Every day the publisher is being and more convinced that the cleaner his advertising columns the mere money he can make out of them, and when this knowledge becomes general the VICIOUS ad will go out of business To the credit of publishers be 1t sad that most of them clean house. because they believe it is right but the time is coming when it will be done as a matter of pure business policy. Take the case of the Phpuix Ariz.. Republcan, paper that about year ago decided to eliminate objectionable adveris- ing and in its own words. expected no other reward than satisfied conscience. Note the result as described in a recent editorial in that paper:
 The Repub!can has found other reward than the approval of its own conscience. The eliminated advertising has been followed by a considerably increased volume of decent advertising The patent medicine people used to be tyrannca when the papers were clamoring for their business. They not only insisted upon the best positions, but designated the kind of matter that should appear next to their adver ,isements and even prescribed certain other kinds of adversina on the same page. When the Rsgnblean began throwing out patient medicine advertisements the space thus cleared taken by legitimate foreign advertising. The patent medicine people are now cIamoring to get back into the Republican on any terms on any old page They are willing to leave the matter of position entirely to the foreman
 Nor is this all Not only has the Repubilcdn in creased its value an advertising medium, but the public has been quick to notice and appreciate the improvement, and has responded generously with cash for subscriptions. Says the Republcan, Within the period in which most of the advertising contracts eX pred and when they dropped, there has been Il steady and rapid increase in the Repnblcan volume eY crcuIation as was shown by published statement
