marked improvement in the industrial
situation and it continues. In the
steel centers there are not many un-
employed men. Thousands Of the
wage workers are making full time
Others are making half time. There
are few who desire work who are en-
tirely idle.
The increasing activity in the man
uracturing districts is being reflected
in the railroad situation. The trans
portation companies, especially those
OF the south, found traffic extremely
light during the winter. Idle cars ac-
cumulated in the yards and thousands
of faithful employees were laid off.
Now the railroads are beginning to
feel the general wave of prosperity.
Traffic is increasing steadily. Idle
cars will soon disappear. and the pros
poets are that all railroads will enjoy
increased earnings the rest of the
year.
With the improvement in railroad
conditions comes an Improvement in
the coal mining business. Coal opera
tors have been more encouraged this
week than at any time since business
depression set in last fall.
With conditions rapidly approach
ing normal the building trades Will
receive a sudden impetus. Everything
hereabouts points to a good summer.

The New York World prints the
second article by Gustav c. ROeder,
who has just returned from a tour of
Germany. 1t is an interview with
Herr Balm, director general of the
Hamburg American line, just after
Herr Ballin had seen the kaiser.
Extracts from the interview follow:
when the war is over you will see
boom in business surprising any
thing ever known and Germany and
the United States will profit more than
any other nation. The apparent Ill
feeling between Germany and the
United States will be forgotten.

Liquor the 1916 Issue

The liquor question is no longer a
religious question: declared Repre-
sentative Seldomridge few days ago in
the memorable debate in the House Of
Representatives, it is now political
and an economic problem"
National prohibition is demanded
for the reason that the federal law gives
brewers and distillers permission to
violate and defy the state laws Of pro
hibiticn states, BY permitting them to
ship liquor into these states.
1t also is demanded because the
small minority OF wide open wet states.

The present situation with prohibit

open saloon in the other, compares
with the usual conditions under local

before We can rescue the whole country
from the degeneration Of drink by
making prohibition completely effect

states contain great cities and the
Saloon rule all their people absolutely.
To free them from these curses, help
must come from the outside, and It
can only come soon and effectively in
the form Of national prohibition.
In the United States at this moment,
sentiment for national prohibition is
widespread, overwhelming. We need
only organize it.

In every state an organiged effort

Why the Serum Alone Treatment

Since hog cholera has become so
prevalent in this country and the loss
from It's so great, the question Of eradi-
cation and control is naturally raised.
A number Of suggestions and methods
have been offered which have been
somewhat varying in their effective
ness and mode Of administration.
The Veterinary Department Of the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station has been recommending and
using the serum alone treatment
The question is often heard, Why
the serum alone treatment" The
serum alone treatment properly ad-
ministered has for its object the Con-
troll and eventually the Absolute
Eradication Of hog cholera. II makes
it possible in large measure to do
away with vaccination with its attend
ing cost and trouble. The serum
alone treatment is safe method to
use and is simple. 1t can be handled
with good results by the careful mex
perienced man. There are none OF
the bad after results such as some
times follow other treatments.
Serum alone can neither start new
outbreaks oil cholera nor bring the
injection on your noD'infected farm.
When administered under proper con
ditons 1t produces an immunity OF
sufficient duration to allow ample time
for cleaning up and disinlecting the
yards and in this way destroying the
infection before the hogs outgrow the
immunity. Under ordinary conditions
this is far greater importance than
simply protecting hogs from cholera
for a VARYING period Of time and not
making any attempt to avoid harbor'
ing the germs. The germs, whether
in the litter about the pens or in the
virus of the double treatment, will cause
the disease to develope. If cholera is
10 be controlled it is necessary to de-
stroy the germs. The use Of the
serum alone is to protect the hogs
until the germs can be destroyed by
cleaning up. burning and disintecting.
The effectiveness Of the serum alone
treatment has been we'll demonstrated
in localities where the College OF Ag-
riculture has had the direct super.
vision OF the administering Of the
serum and Of the sanitation and clean
up work. There have been only
eight orders (l236 doses) ssnt
to Dade County since the anti hog
cholera campaign work has done there
! The cholera has been kept vel
under control in Johnson County
where a campaign to eradicate it wa
carried on sometime ago. In Bate
ane Cass Counties where the cam
paigns Tor eradication have beer
more recent the cholera is beiD,
brought well under control. The re
suits in the four counties named ar
especially significant because all {
them were surrounded By badly in
iected districts.

The Missouri State Board OF Agri-
culture was we'll nigh swamped in 1914
By the demand for their Handy and
Practical Farm Library" bulletins.
1856, 900 copies were published during
the year. The number Of pages ol
ANNALS and monthly bulletins pub
lished during the year 1914 totaled
21,194,000. In 1918 the total was
Iis,4o5 900.

when we make the fullest use Of these
advantages and use the raw material,
facilities, and labor at hand, to pro-
duce by far the greatest portion Of Our
requirement.
The voters OF the United States
will hold the Democratic party respon-
slble for the widespread prevailing
business depression, and lack Of re-
munerative employment.
This great, rich, new country re-
quires protective tariff, reasonable
one, something that will at once
measure the difference in cost Of pro
duction at home and abroad Less
than that means low prices, low wages
and un' American living for the artisan.
More than that would be unfair to
consumers.
l am firm believer in expansi n;
expansion in home life, in social way,
iu church matters, and in business;
likewise In the affairs OF the nation.
There is no such thing as standing
still. We must progress reuograde,
and it seems clear that the United
States should now take firmer hold
and a stronger place in worldwide
matters and in the affairs Of nations.
We should as a natioua, necessity,
iorthwith-right now improve our
navigable rivers, canalize them where
necessary, connect them where pos
sible with each other, and by every
artificial means encourage the use Of
waterways as economic freight carriers.
Such action is not necessarily antag'
onistic to the railroads, but such a
system would simply augment and
assist the present carriers, and we will
soon have more bushes than all COM
bined can take care of.
| Just think Of the possibilities yet
remaining untouched in this nations
store house, the middle west, this
valley Of the Mississippi, the most
stupendous and richest valley in the
world. Think of the fuel oil, the
natural gas, and unlimited coal supply,
the unused water power, and the
many advantages enjoyad in this areal
This bread-basket country, as we call
it, the very abdominal cavity Of the
continent is capable Of producing
enormous quantities Of many products
needed abroad, provided we can get
them to the sea at a low freight cost.
This country would vastly increase
its domestic commerce and carrying
trade if it would develop the inner
channels around our coasts, and build
many Of tine proposed intercoastal
canals, thereby Offering sale going for
ships Of moderate size, and oppor,un-
ity to men Of moderate means to en-
gage in coast-wise shipping.
Since we have in This country fin
ished the opening Of the public domain,
and since we have by vast subsidies
encouraged the building Of trans-con-
tinental lines, should We not now forth
with direct the attention OF our citizens
to seafaring life? We should encour-
age ship building, ship owning, and
ship sailing, 10 the end that American
shipping concerns, stimulated, il you
please, by some form Of government
aid, should be able to move our own
merchandise upon the high seas, and
earn the hundreds Of millions per an
mum now paid to foreign carriers, and
that the American flag should be known
in every foreign port.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1915-02-18

mercial development and success
inevitably mean progress and better
ment for all the people. To check
commerce by Legislation or other
wise, is to obsuuct and depress the
seven million wage sarners engaged
in manufacture, as we'll as the much
larger number employed in agricul-
tural anu mercantile pursuits"
