Nothing New in
HOOf and Mouth

Recent developments in the new
outbreak of disease among cattle; its
close proximity and the fact that it is
considered the worst outbreak in the
United States, creates new and in
tensive interest among cattle owners
around here.
Many questions have been asked and
have remained unanswered, among in
terested stock owners. Some of the
information not generally given out
may be. found here,
When stock is found infected with
the disease and ordered slaughtered
one appraiser is appointed by the own
ner of the stock and one by thestate
inspector, both local men and famil-
lar with stocks value, and these two
men value the stock as soon after they
are condemned as possible. If the
two men cannot agree, the owner may
choo e the third appraiser and the
appraisal Of these three is final.
This would seem to be absolutely
fair to the owner. The appraised val
ue is paid half by the state and half
by the Federal authorities.
A good round value is expected to
be allowed owners Of condemned cat
tie, but pedigrees are not paid for;
cows are valued as dairy cattle as a
rule, but the inspectors do not take in
to account the registry of stock, All
expense of slaughtering, digging the
trench for burial and all material or
property used or destroyed on farm
in quarantining it, is paid for by the
state; the labor Of teams and men
furnished by the farmer in this work
is paid for.
/ After infected stock has beer
! slaughtered, the barns and sheds must
be thoroughly disinfected.
/ A farmer or stock owner cannot be-
gin restocking for go days. At the
end Of that period he can put cow!
and A hogs on his premises sand nj
more.
These will be inspected once a weel
for three weeks, and if at the end 0.
these three weeks the disease does no
re-appear, the owner of the premise'
can again stock up as he pleases.
Conditions in Medina county hav'
changed little, if any, during the pas
: week. Inspectors have been flittini
about the county like butterflies, bu
; there has been no more slaughtering
and while rumors Of fresh outbreak
. have had their run, there comes re
. assuring information that in the larg
J herd of Chas. Chandler at Sharon, onl
! two have died, and the balance Of tn
herd, all Of which is infected, appear
] to be getting better This herd wa

prizes as well as for the big vacation
trip, coming mainly from those who
had a lower vote than many of their
fellow candidates and as a result Of
such determination and energy we
may expect that this opportunity will
develop into real live contestants many
of those who have heretofore appear
ed dormant of action or who have been
passive to their qualifications. While
these may seemingly be striving only
for the temporary period prizes, they
will all the time have their eyes open
to the main chance--the big Worlds
Fair Tour. The manager Of the tour
department cannot imagine a happier
trio than those whose smiles are
caused by having won one of the three
respective special rewards and who
still have in view the earning Of one

surrounding country, but the ones not
now reading it are willing to and are
only waiting to be asked, so it is up
to you contestants to see them and
get their subscriptions. If few en-
terprising girls can get from 5000
to 10000 votes in the short time that
this contest has been running, all of
you can do it if you 60 out and see
the people.
These choice educational tours and
special jewelry prizes are surely
worth a little hustle on your part,
aren't they? And you can win them
with the same ease as anyone else, If
you only think so, and you will find
out that people are willing to help
you if you will ask them. The records
of the last few days prove this con-
clusively.
Any young lady who is now entered
or who may hereafter enter will stand
an equal chance with any other con-
testant for these special prizes, as
past effort does not count for them;
only the votes cast in the special two
weeks period. Make a list of your
friends and as fast as you see them
mark them off. But make it a point
to see them all.
Already the indications are that the
friends of the contestants in all the
districts will respond nobly to their
request for votes to apply towards
securing the special prizes, as there
will, of course be strong desire or
the part Of the residents to have the
prizes awarded to girls in their res,

GERARD WIRES
German VIEW
ON LUSITANIA

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The state
department today announced that Am
bassador Gerard at Berlin had sent to
Washington a summary of the views
of the German government to be in
corporated in it's forthcoming note on
the Lusitania case These views
agree substantially with reports for
Germany during the past fortnight in
d!cating that the reply to President
Wilson's note will be satisfactory.
The department stated that no re-
ply has been sent to this confidential
communication and it is understood
that none will be made until the am
bassador's dispatch has been studied
by President Wilson.
Officials of the state department are
watching closely both official and
unofficial advices which tend to re-
fleet public opinion in Berlin. The
general temper of German press com.
ments is regarded as indicating an
eventful adjustment of the differences
between the two governments and
Ambassador Gerard's recent observa-
tions have not been such as to alarm
him or this government.

only person known to have had his
pockets picked. The thief, however.
secured only 81 cents, which Minor
had in purse. Minor says that he
thinks his purse was taken while in
Richmond. He says he first missed it
after boarding traction car at the
interurban station. He had more
money in another purse which the
