LIVE STOCK DISEASED
HOOP AND MOUTH AILMENT
CLOSES THE STOCK YARDE
AT CHICAGO.
MANY STATES QUARANTINE
Stock Valued at Several Million Ooi-
lars Under Treatment Of Federal
Officers at Chicago-AnnuaI Big
Show Called Off.

Chicago, Nov. 9-Disinfecting at
the Chicago union stockyards, which
suspended business on account of the
hoof and mouth disease, continues in
the expectation that the place would
be in a thoroughly sanitary condition
by Nov. IA.
DR.. o. e. Dyson, state veterinarian,
said that although the quarantine had
been ordered to run until November
16, it would be lifted before that time
If it were shown that the yards were
in fit condition. Every confidence
that the disease is well under control
here was expressed afte. it was found
that only few more suspected cattle
have developed cases.
The new cases were among prize
cattle recently exhibited at the ma
tional dairy show here. About 30 of
the 800 prize bulls and cows were con-
demned, but were not killed. The
owners, who value the cattle at sew
eral million dollars, appealed to the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington that special efforts be made to
save the stock. A plan was devised to
isolate the infected stock and subject
it to special treatment for experiment
tai purposes
Trace Every Shipment.
With the federal quarantine against
the foot and mouth disease covering
practically every suspected cattle
market, officials of the bureau of an
imal industry have organized force
of inspectors to trace every shipment
of cattle made from the infected area
during the last two months.
Outbreak Worst Known.
Secretary of the department of agri-
culture Houston said Monday this cpl
demic was zone of the most conta-
gious and destructive diseases of cat
tie swine and sheep and exceeded in
area affected any of the five previous
outbreaks in this country"
Unless the infection can be imme-
diately localized and quickly eradica-
ted, he said. it threatened untold loss
es among live stock.
Nebraska Order Issued.
The Nebraska sanitary live stock
commission issued an order of quar-
antine against cattle, sheep and swine
shipped from Chicago to the state
since October /.
The same rule also applies to many
other states.
Stock Show Cancelled.
Kansas City.-Directors of the
American Royal Live Stock Show met
and have voted to abandon the show
this year because of the prevalence
of the foot and mouth disease.

FIGHTING ON
GENERAL BATTLE ALONG WHOLE
FRONT FROM THE SEA TO

FRENCH DEFENSE IS STRONG
Germans Have Soldiers in Endless
Numbers-British Put up Des-
perate Fighting Army.

Paris, Nov. "a general battle has
been proceeding along the whole front
from the sea to the Vosges mountains
for the last three days without the
Germans having been able to find a
weak spot in the French defenses.
However, it still is In Flanders that
interest in the formidable and seem.
ingly interminable battle centers. The
Germans are concentrating all the
men they can get and ceaselessly are
hurting them against the allies lines.
Never has this method bees directed
with as much tenacity and fury as
now
The attacks ON the line from Ypres
to the Lys are more violent even than
those directed against the coast road
and the passages of the User.

you cannot help them out of their

noble, the aspiring traits in them,
you will help to develop these quail

unworthy ones.
An opportunity to associate with
people who see the best instead of the

to us than an opportunity to make
money. 1t increases a hundredfold
our power to develop noble charac-

ABOVE SUCH LITTLE MATTERS
How a Foreign Tour Affected the
Business Attitude Of a Brook
Iyn Grocer.

A thrifty Brooklyn grocer, who be-
gan his career of success driving de-
livery wagon, became ambitious after
he had bought out his former en-
ployer and for two or three years was
doing far better than ever and thought
he would make European trip as
others were doing who hadn't as much
money as he had. He arranged his
business for three months absence
and sailed away on big ship, says
the Argonaut.
In due course he returned, and his
foreign experiences had pulled him up
amazingly. He stuck to his grocery,
but he looked down upon it with dis
dain and never lent a hand to his
clerks as once he did.
One day he was standing in front
looking over the arrangement of the
various articles usually displayed in
front of groceries, and a lady came by
who was one of his old customers.
She looked around minute or so for
what she wanted and found it. "Oh,
Mr.. Blank" she said, what are the
potatoes worth?" But he made no
reply. Not he. John" he called to
a clerk inside, John, come out here
and tell the lady what potatoes are
worth"
