going to get cheap groceries.
Two smooth strangers went
through the communities taking
orders for a house in Chicago,
pretending to sell standardbrands

that every farmer visited took
from $40 to $50 worth, and 9TH
err things besides. Because of
the low prices the flour and sug.

BRYAN is Savage in Attack on
Saloon

Declaring that the Democrat
ic party cannot afford to stand
with the brewer and SELDOM keep
err against woman's outrage, Sec
rotary of State Bryan in a speech
at banquet of Democratic edl-
tors here last night severely de-
nounced the liquor traffic. tie
said that woman's suffrage was
sure to win.
A man who prefers the sa-
loon-keepers' company to that OF
his wife will not be in the Demo
cratic party long,, said the
Secretary. IF we are going to
favor woman's suffrage we
might as we'll 60 the whole hog
and drive the saloon out OF poll
tics"
The above was clipped from
an Indianapolis, Indiana, dis
patch of February 9Th. Mr..
Bryan is correct. No party IN
this day and time can afford to
champion the brewer or saloon
without signing it's death war
rant. The saloon element has
long been one of the most cor
rupting factors in politics, but
the people seem to have just a.
wakened to the fact and they
will no longer tolerate it.
There is no controverting the
fact of the wonderful power and
influence the liquor traffic has
exerted over the affairs of this
government, with its wealth
and influence it has welded over
those it could control with its
liquors and money. But it is
doomed. The people every
where are breaking the shackles
and will no longer affiliate with
the party that suffers itself by
this corrupting influences Rus

Charbone Vaccination

The La. State Live State San
itary Board urges that all AMI
mails should be vaccinated a.
gainst Charlton and increase the
number of animals protected al
the beginning of the charbon
season. A circular letter sent
out by this Board to the live
pck owners says:
Past experience has taught
THAT best results are obtained
when animals are vaccinated a.
gainst charbone early in the
spring so as to allow about 80
days in which to secure pr otec-
ton before the season approach
es when Charlton infection usu-
ally develops.
1.-The State Live Stock SAM
tary Board strongly urges, there
fore that those sections of the
State in which Charlton infection
has been known to exist in pre-
vious years, vaccination of ami
mails should commence not later
than March LIST. That is, the
first dose, of a double dose vac
cine, should be given at that
time.
IF stock owners will give
this matter their careful atten-
ton, it will increase the number
of protected animals at the be-
ginning of the charbone season,
and materially limit the spread
of the disease, should the COM
ing summer prove favorable to
the development of Charlton in
lection.
