HOG CHOLERA COSTLY
UNPRECEDENTED SPREAD OF
DISEASE IN THE STATE.
New Outbreaks Due to Shipments
From Other States, Says State
Veterinarian Bahnsen.

Veterinarian BahnSen.
During the last three or four
weeks, says State Veterinarian Peter
F. Bahnsen, an unprecedented num-
Der of new outbreaks of hog cholera
have occurred on Georgia farms and
in centers hitherto not infected by
cholera. This is due, he says, to the
shipment from Tennessee and other
states and from interstate shipments
of hogs reported, by accompanying
health certificates, to have received
the simultaneous treatment.
The purchasers in many instances
lost not only the hogs bought but
frequently many of the original herd
which became infected by the new
arrivals.
''This condition presents a very
grave menace to the industry" says
DR.. Bahnsen.
To relieve this situation special
order No. IS, effective on and after
May 5, has been promulgated, the
sense of which is as follows:
No swine diseased with hog cholera
or plague shall be removed from any
state into the state of Georgia or
from any county in the state of Geor-
gia into any other county in the state.
All persons intending to ship swine
into or within the state of Georgia
shall ascertain before Offering them
for such shipment that the animals
are not diseased and have not been
exposed to hog cholera or the con-
tagion of any other disease.
All public stockyards shall be con-
sidered infectious and no movement
of swine therefrom shall be made
under certain conditions.
Hogs exposed but not infected may
be shipped to recognized Strengthening
centers for immediate slaughter.
When so shipped they shall be billed
as exposed to hog cholera" and the
cars shall be so placarded; each letter
of this placard shall be in black type
not less than three inches high.
Swine intended for other purposes
than immediate slaughter may be
shipped interstate from public stock
yards, provided that on inspection
and approval of proper authorities.
Clean and disinfected cars or other
vehicles only shall be used for the
movement of swine which have been
properly inoculated and certified to.
Express shipments direct from
breeder to consumer may be made
under certain conditions.
Aff1davits are required for the COM
pliance with certain sections of this
order.
Full copies of the order and the af-
| fdavit blanks may be had on appli-
cation to the state agricultural de-
partment.

PLEDGE A MILLION
FOR MISSION WORK
Southern Baptist Convention in Ses-
sion at Houston, Texas, Raj
lies to the Cause.

HOUSTON, Tex.-Southern Bap-
lists in convention here today pledg-
ed themselves to raise for home and
foreign missions during the coming
fiscal year $1,065.75O-$441,75O for
home missions and $624.0O0 for for
eign missions. 1t was announced
that the laymans organization would
undertake to raise $4,000 to re-
move the debt hanging over the con-
vention through failure of several
states to contribute last year their
full amounts for mission work.
Texas Baptists were asked in the
budget adopted today to contribute
more than any other state, namely
100000, for foreign and $4,000
for home missions.
The next largest appointments
were Virginia and Georgia, the for
mer $4,000 to foreign and $4,000
to home missions, and the latter
$75, 900 to foreign and $4,000 to
home missions.

BOND ISSUE FOR ROADS
AND BRIDGES DEFEATED
Lack of Interest on Part of Lee COun-
ty Voters Cause of Failure.

Lack of Interest on Part OF Lee COun-
ty Voters Cause of Failure.
LEESBURG.-The election for
bonds passed off quietly here today,
little interest being shown in the
election throughout the. county. The
election was for bonds for $25, 200,
payable in twenty-five years, for the
improvement of roads and bridges.
A very light vote was cast, and al
though all the returns are not in yet
it is conceded that the bonds have
lost out, although 80 per cent of the
votes cast were in favor of bonds.
Many thought that the issue should
be 100000 instead of for $25, 900.
In all probability another election
will be called within the next sixty
days. In the Leesburg district out
of 143 votes there were 81 for the
bonds and against. The absence
of so many of the voters from the
polls was the reason the bonds lost
out.

TO LET STATE BANKS
IN RESERVE SYSTEM
May Enter With the Right of With
drawing If Desired.

uEdNlI8 IL DCSlACI'
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. considera-
ton lasting several months the fed
eraI reserve board virtually has de-
cided to allow state banks to enter
the federal reserve system with the
right to withdraw and surrender
membership if they so desire.
This is believed to assure the en-
trance of hundreds of strong state
institutions into the system, Early
in consideration Of the problem it
was made clear by state bankers that
their principal objections to entering
was that apparently when once IN
they must surrender their charters
or liQuidatG to get out.
State bankers expressed the view
that they were not compelled by the
reserve act to enter the reserve Sys-
tenn as were national banks, and
that therefore the door should be left
open for their departure.
The board debated that question
at length and consulted with govern
ors of the federal reserve banks and
members of the advisory council. 1t
was said tonight the board probably
would explain in a circular soon to
be issued that the only limitation on
the withdrawal of state banks shall
be as to a maximum retirement OF
capital and reserves from the system
during any one year. 1t also will be
made clear that the board does not
wish to make hard and fast rules
governing loans on real estate by
state banks, but that it desires only
to limit those loans so that bank S
assets will be kept always in fairly
LIQUID condition.

| Following is a text of the note tnat
was addressed by the United States
Government to the imperial govern
ment of Germany, in which attention
| is courteously but in unm1stakable
Language called ''to the grave s1tua-
ton which has resulted" from viola
lions of American rights at sea cul-
minating in the sinking of the Lusl-
tania with the loss of more than a
| hundred American lives.
The communication expressed the
confident expectation Of the United
| States that the imperial German
government will disavow the acts OF
which the government of the United
States complains; that they will
make reparation so far as reparat1on
is possible for injuries which are
without measure; that they will take
immediate steps to prevent recur-
renee of anything so obviously sub
versive of the principles of warfare
for which the imperial government
in the asst has so wisely and firmly
contended."
In conclusion the notes states that
the Imperial German government
will not expect the government OF
the United States to omit any word
or act necessary to this performance
of the sacred duty of maintaining
tbe rights of the United States and
it's citizens and the safeguarding OF
their free exercise and enjoyment,
The note begins with a reference
to recent acts of German authorities
on the high seas, declaring it is de-
sirable that the United States and
Germany should come to a clear, full
understanding. 1t mentions the sink
ing of the Falaba, the Gulfllght ana
the torpedoing of the Gushing.
Recalling the humane and enlight-
ened attitude hitherto assumed by
Germany the note says that the Unit
ed States government is loath 10 pc
,Iieve-cannot bring itself to be-
llieve-that these acts, so contrary &c
the rules, practices and spirit OF MOD
ern warfare could have the counte-
nance and sanction OF the German
government. 1t feels it to be duty
to address the German government
and condemn them with the utmost
fran kness in the earnest hope that II
is not mistaken in expecting action
on the part of Germany which will
lcorrect the unfortunate impressions
Iprevalent and vindicate that govern
ment.
Discussing the German method OF
retaliation because her enemies en-
deayored to cut off Germany from oil
commerce the United States declares
that il gave warning that Germans
will he held to strict accountability
for loss of American lives IN the wal
zones.
It asserts objection against the
present method of attack against the
enemies trade lines and the practical
limDossibility of employing subma-
rines in the destruction of commerce
without disregarding the rules OF
farm ss, Justice and humanity when
modern opinion regards as impera-
tive.
1t saws there are two cases OF
sbiDs being destroyed with no warn
ling given. 1t holds Americans WIN
in their rights when travelling, De-
lieving their lives are not to be en-
dangered by acts which are clear VIo-
lation of the universally acknowledg-
led international obligations and Ger
tainlv in the confidence that their
own government will sustain them ID
the exercise of their rights.

WORKERS WANT
HIGHER PAS
SENCERFARE
CLAIM IFS MADE THAT TWO THOU.
SAND RAILROAD MEN IN THIS
STATE ARE IDLE DUE TO TIE
TWO-CEhT RATE.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 2i.-Po-
lice court frequenters in Oklahoma
City are proving to be for a good
part railroad men, it was learned TO-
day, when two railroad men with
calloused hands were brought before
Judge Price in the municipal court
An inquiry disclosed that this is an
almost daily occurrence. one OF those
appearing in court today said he was
q switchman, but had been thrown out
OF work by a reduction in the operat-
ing force and exhibited his hands TO
the court in proof Of his statement
This incident was seized upon by
Chairman Hill OF the Frisco employees
committee as an opportunity to drive
home his argument against the unem-
ployment condition among railroad
men in Oklahoma. With 1000 en-
ployes in this state idle" said Nj Hill
1t is not surprising to learn that three
or four are daily hailed before q
police court charged with yagrancy,
drunkenness or some other minor law
violation When the employees form
ed their organization to campaign for
re-esta ablishment OF the three-cent pas
senger fare" continued Mr.. Hill, they
first made sure that it was justifable.
We found that ticket sales to some
state line points had increased in
1914 as compared with 1912. as much
as 1000 or 5000 per cent. Also it
was shown that interstate passenger
fares had decreased several times
more than the increase in interstate
ticket sales. This is a result of per
sons seeking trans portation to an in
terstate point purchasing a ticket to
the state line, then re-buying across
the state boundary to the next sta
tion, where another ticket can be pur-
chased at a two-cent rate, in order TO
eyade an order OF the interstate COM
merce commission proving for an in
terstate rate higher than two cents.
This commission also has recommend
ed a more remunerative passenger
fare than two cents, holding that a
twO-cent rate would not allow the
railroads sufficient earnings to sustain
the service demanded by the public.
In Oklahoma last year, the passenger
service of the Frisco system showed
decrease of over S2S.OOO. while the
road was being operated under the
strictest supervision of a receiver
ship"
Mr.. Hill said that some immediate
relief was needed. such as was pro-
posed in the Missouri Legislature last
week when a bill was introduced pro-
viding for the immediate establish
ment of a passenger fare of two and
one-half cents, pending consideration
OF full restoration to three cents.
"A similar measure in Oklahoma"
said Mr.. Hill, in conclusion, would re-
store our idle workers TO full employ
ment and give to those 1000 work
men who now are offered an oppor-
tunity to make only half or two-thirds
time, the basis of full working day"

THE HOOSIER ScHOOLMASTER"
MAJESTIC THEATRE FRIDAY

This immorta! story by Edward
Egglestcn has for foundation one of
the deepest and most intensely hu-
man themes to be found in the en-
tire field of literature. 1t tells Of
the two parties which have forever
been battling for social supremacy:
the party of the future and the party
of the past; of the new ideas which
come and of the old ones which die
hard. 1t is the story of the man
who wears a necktie and his neighbor
who objects to the custom-an every
day story of plain people invested
with a deep human interest which is
common to all subjects that deal with
real flesh and blood men and women
In their comedy there is tragedy and
in their tragedy there is comedy be-
cause in them you get a good birds
eye view of yourself and your friends
The story is laid in 1881 in rural
Indiana-then the western frontier of
the United States. Political parties
were largely dominated by organiz-
ed bands Of robbers. The farmers
had hard time keeping up with
their superstitions and the most un-
welcome arrival was he who brought
new ideas into the community. And
as for education. it was a case of
"lickin' and rarnin,' lickin' and rarn-
in, " the good old way.
This picture will be interesting if
for one reason only-it is a typical
American story and one that is full
Of American love, pathos and comedy.
The characters of the times are
/ faithfully portrayed by Mr. Fgman
and Miss Robertson. and the story is
an absorbing one

OPTIMISTIC REPORT FROM
CUSHING OIL FIELDS

Cushing. Okla, Feb. 23.-Vice-
President Ryberg of the Oklahoma
State bank, and president of the
Gushing Chamber of Commerce, said
today that bankers everywhere, so
far as he knew. were growing more
optimistic and were extending lib
eral credits to manufacturers and
wholesale firms. He said the Euro
pean war effect on business today
was a thing of the past and predicted
that by July 1, the business OF this
country would not only return to
normal, but far exceed in volume
any previous year in the history of
the country.
with the adjournment of congress
and the legislatures Of the several
states. business will boom as nsTer
before. The cruel war, with its dis
astrous effects upon American busi-
ness will prove to be blessing
in disguise" but it took business
quite while to adjust itself to such
unusual conditions. Now that we
have reached the top of the hill we
will find the road easier to travel,
and predict unusual business activ-
ity for the remaining year, and pos
sibly for several years to come
Our numerous oil refneries, hand
ling about 10000 barrels Of crude
daily are running at full capacity. and
from the inquiries received almost
daily from capitalists in distant
cities, ] should say it will not be
long before Cushing would be re-
fning upwards of 100000 barrels of
crude oil every p hours. These re-
ineries are all connected with the
production by pipe lines. but since
large concern is figuring on To-
eating a by-product plant, it is quite
possible that a union pipe line will
be built to supply a dozen or more
refneries with high-grade oil.
