LIEUT.. MERRITT
LEAVES ACAD =. MY
ARMY OFFICER WILL REPORT TO
HIS REGIMENT FOR DUTY
SOON.

Lieutenant James A. Merritt, the
commandant at c. NJ. A, has been
ordered by the secretary of war to
report to his regiment for duty.
Lieut. Merritt has been absent from
his regiment, the Fourteenth y. s.
Infantry, for four years, and accord
ing to military law that is the limit.
He served one year upon the Mexican
rontier doing special detail duty and
has been with Col O, c, Hulvey for
the past three years The fourteenth
regiment is now scattered into five
different places, but Lieut. Merritt
will more than likely report to Fort
George Wright, outside of Spokane,
Washington, as the colonel of the reg
iment is stationed there.
1t is interesting to know that the
fourteenth was one of the regiments
sent from this country to China dur
ing the Boxer uprising, for the relief
of the missionaries, and the four
teenth was the first regiment to
reach the scene of the trouble and
the first lieutenant of the coloneTs
staff was the first man to scale the
wall and 90 into the citV where the
missionaries were eng menaced
with their lives.
Lieut. Merritt expects to leave next
week His successor has not yet
been named.

contention of the plaintiff that De-
PENDANT Foster made an assault and
battery upon her it being charged
that he struck her or at her also that
he pulled his pistol out in a manner
that was threatening to her peace
ana safety
There are a number of witnesses
and it will take some time to try the

FARMERS COMPLAIN
OF FLY" IN WHEAT
AND WINTER OATS
CROPS SOWN EARLY HAVE BEEN
INJURED AS RESULT OF
WARM WEATHER.
MUCH OF CORN CROP HOUSED
More of 1t Gathered Probably Than
Ever Before So SarIy in the Fall
Due to the Favorable Weather Con.
dtions.

This ideal fall weather has not
been an altogether unmiXed blessing
for the farmers because there is
good deal Of complaint of the Hes
sian fly in the wheat fields of the
county. The continued warm dry
weather has been very favorable for
the fly and it is said that good deal
of damage has been done Winter
turf oats have also suffered from the
same cause and barley fields have not
escaped.
The weather has, however, enabled
the farmers to gather their corn
crops much earlier than is usually the
case and as a result the major por
ton of the corn crop of the county is
already housed, in fact, probably
three-fourths of the grain has been
gathered. This is unusual for the
middle of November as it is generally
much nearer Christmas before the
fields are cleaned of the grain Cat.
tie are being turned into the stalk
fields and are reported to be making
fine gains
So far this fall no cases Of stalk
poisoning have been reported and
fields generally are said to be freer
of smut" or rotten corn than has
been the case in years. Forage pois'
oning played havoc with the stock
of the county last fall and winter and
the year before, taking toll of a very
large number of horses and cattle,
much more of the formed, however
than of the latter. No cases of this
character have so far been reported.
While wheat sowing is not over yet
there is only a small portion of the
grain yet to be seeded and that is
on stalk land where blowing has been
delayed by gathering the corn crop,
Late wheat is looking much better
than that soWn early, but all has SUI
fered from the lack of moisture and
the unseasonably warm weather

FARMERS WARN D TO
REPORT CHOLERA IN
Hug HERDS At ONCE
DELAY is ALWAYS DANGEROUS
AND HAS RESULTED IN
MUCH LOSS.
SOME EXAMPLES ARE CITED
DR.. OConnor Points Out How an En-
tire Herd Was Wiped Out Simply
Because of the Delay in Asking for
Treatment of Sick Swine.
(By DR.. O'Connor.)


of this county a warning. 1t appears
from what we have seen lately that
farmers through fear of quarantine
are spreading cholera in their own
and neighbors' herds. This seems to
be confined to few areas, namely:
Williamsport-Wate Valley vicinity,
the Thetaa neighbOrhood and posi-
bly, in the Kettle Mills vicinity, 1t
does seem too bad that a farmer can
be so short-sighted when his own well
fare is at stake but we are finding ev-
idence of this every day, and to prove
that this is so the following instances
will Indicate:
While treating a herd of hogs be-
longing to Claude Fly, on the river
near Williamsport, we received word
that a neighbor was losing hogs. Di-
rectly he came along and agreed to
get his hogs up within a day or so and
let us know so we could go out and
treat them. We waited and waited
and he did not call, so we went to see
him and found that his hogs had died
until he had none left. Just think Of
this: here is a man who had 60 or 70
hogs on feed in his field and rather
than do little cleaning up he let
his hogs die until he has to buy hogs
to kill for his winter meat, and as
the state has quarantined his place
it will be necessary to clean up any
way.
Another case: A neighbor of this
man, one of the finest and best farm
ers in the county, had hogs exposed,
We were called in when he had one
sick hog 1t was killed for post-mor-
tenn examination and cholera demon
strated This man was asked when
he could get his hogs up and he start
ed thinking with results something
like this. We'll, | cannot have them
treated tomorrow as | am going to
have company, and the next day | am
going over to see so and so, and the
next day | am going to town to po-
litical meeting, and the next day is
Saturday Oh! | don't know, when
get them up will call Well, he
did, or rather Sheriff Griffin called
us out of bed last Monday to say that
this man wanted to talk to us on the
Citizens phone, our phone being OF
the Bell variety. At any rate when
we got to his hogs Monday morning,
instead of one sick as on the day
when the sick hog was killed, we
found nearly all of his hogs with high
temperatures.
Now, if this man loses a number of
hogs he is reasonable enough to lay
the loss to the proper cause, but what
we object to is the fact that between
the time his herd was first sick and
the time they were put up he may
have spread the infection to num-
Der of herds and again, his neighbors
will hear that his hogs were treated
and so many died They won't hear
that they were nearly all sick at time
of treatment and that the only ones
/ that died were the ones that were
i sick at the time they we're treated.
Call Early.
Call when your first hog shows
sick and we will save all the others;
if you call when half are sick we don't
promise to save all but will do our
best.

HARD UP FOR FEATURES.

The Minneapolis Tribune must
be hard up for features when it
gives space to the syndicated SER
mons of Pastor Russell, furnished
by the International Bible Stu
dents Association, and paid for
at advertising rates. Surely, it is
not unaware of the picturesque
career of this charlatan whose no.
torious experiences in divorce and
civil courts are a matter of public
record.
A metropolitan daily, such as
the Minneapolis Tribune claims to
be, should be above temptation in
this regard. The few dollars which
it gets from the sale of this space
should not be an inducement to
prostitute it's pages by giving pub
licity to so-called sermons which
are nothing but a travesty on re-
ligion, the vapid vaporings of a
self-styled "pastor whose teach
ing leads logically to immortality,
whose religious beliefs, if he
may be said to have any, have no
foundation except In diseased
brain, and whose career demon
strates the viciousness of the doc
trines he advocates.

any minister Why insist on
dressing him up in the latest style
and dragging him out Of a COM
Portable home to listen to a very
Indifferent sermon, perhaps, on a
subject which has no bearing on
his religious life2
The "open Bible" lies at the
very root Of the whole trouble
which the sects experience in get
ting more than a bakers dozen
to their Sunday morning services.
1T is precisely because they have
only the ''open Bible" to offer
to the people that their ministers
SO frequently preach to empty
pews or droWsy auditors. The
history of the past three centuries
and half prove that something
more than the "open Bible' is
needed to sanction attendance at

DENATURED RELIGION.

Some time ago we announced
that the National Education As
ISOLATION Of the United States had
Offered prize of $1,000 for the
best essay on H'The Essential Place
of Religion in Education with an
Outline of Plan for Introducing
Religious Teaching Into the Pub
lie Schools" to be submitted to
the Secretary not later than June
4, 1915.
In response to request for full
er information in regard to the
meaning to be attached to the
word religion" we were told
that Religion is to be defined in
u way not to run counter to the
creeds of Protestant, Roman Cath
ole, or jew" In other words,
the essay must contine itself to a
denatured religion, a mongrel
variety, SO nondeseript i'll char
aeter as to retain practically moth
ing but the name of religion. Ac-
|cording to the letter sent out by
the Secretary of the Association,
the essential points to be OBJ
served are: ga Heavenly Fa-
Their, who holds nature and man
alike in the hollow of his hand !;
the commandment of Hillel and
Jesus of Nazareth, Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all
they heart, with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind. and thy neigh
Dor, as myself the high ethical
teachings and spirit of service and
sacrifice indicated In the Sermon
on the Mount. Z
This shuts out from the compe-
tition all who possess any definite
convictions in regard to religion,
and defeats the purpose for
which the competition was instir
tuted. AS a result, we shall be no
nearer a solution of the question
of religious teaching III the public
schools after the prize is awarded
than we are at present. The milk
and-water variety of religion
which the National Education As,
ISOLATION contemplates intro
ducing into the public schools
would leave them in d more de-
