ATLANTIC HAS Is
MILES OF PAVING

Atlantic, Oct. II. - The contracting
firm of p C. Hansen & Son, which has
had the contract for laying the paw
ing being done in Atlantic this year
and also the contracts for that which
was done during the last few years,
Wednesday completed the 1915 con-
tract when they finished the paving on
West Sixth street
There were in all thirty-two blocks
of paving laid this year at a cost OF
s1.14 a yard, including twenty-one
blocks of streets and eleven blocks Of
alleys, and twenty-one blocks Of curb
ings at AZ cents a foot. The paving
is of concrete, which has been used in
most of the paving laid here during
the last several years.
With the paving put down this year,
Atlantic has eighteen miles Of paved
streets and alleys. by far more paving
than anv other city of its size In the
west. The people desire the paving to
go on next year and it is likely that
three or four miles more will be laid
in 1916.

Arrangements have been made by
the committee Of arrangements for
the Wapello County Farmers Insti.
tute, which will be held in Ottumwa
next week, for lecture on the serum
and virus treatment for hog cholera
by DR.. Stowder of Ames. DR.. Stowder
has charge Of the serum plant at
Ames and goes out over the state
telling the farmers about and preach
ing vaccination.
The Wapello County Farmers In
stitute is held once year for the
benefit of all the farmers of Wapello
county and the object of this organi-
zation is to have matters discussed
each year at these meetings that will
help to enlighten the farmers on i'm
proved and scientific methods in all
matters Of farm production and one
of the particular matters which in
terests every farmer in Wapello
county is the hog cholera matter and
the serum treatment and there Is a
wide difference of opinion as to the
success and ACCESSIBILITY of the serum
treatment for hog cholera. In fact
the farmers of Wapello county are
about equally divided on the question
and are anxious to have both sides of
the question discussed at these meet
ings and especially at this meeting.
Now am able and willing to. prove
to the farmers of this county that it
has not been success in this county
or in this state, or in the United
States, as means of preventing or
checking the spread of hog cholera.
Now, then, if DR.. Stowder is allowed
to come here and tell all of the good
side to the question, if there is bad
side to it someone ought to be allow
ed to tell the bad side of 1t and be-
lieve am as we'll posted and as COM
petent to tell our farmers what the
bad side of this question is, as any
man in our county or our state. and
il the committee OF arrangements will
arrange the matter satisfactorily
will enter into joint discussion with
DR.. Stowder upon this question Or If
arrangements cannot be made for
joint discussion, let them arrange for
me to anwser all the arguments DR..
Stowder will produce in his address
favorable to vaccination.

aged and some of the men there feel
that the frost was really more of a
benefit than harm to them. The same
sentiment prevailed today in the south
