back to stock raising Is diseases
among cattle. This is true here as
well as elsewhere. The black leg dis
ease can be controlled by vaccination.
Some persons say that dipping is In
effective. If this is true. why are more
and more counties advocating the dip
ping system, and why is it that once

"The Forrest county supervisors
have announced that dipping will be
made compulsory after May 1. After
that date. cattle from the infected
territory cannot be brought into the
county.
'If you want your cattle to run at
large on the ranges you must clean up,
Or they will not be allowed to use
these spaces. When you pasture your
stock, it will be necessary to dip them
unless the inspectors find that both
the cattle and the fields are free from
ticks.
"As to work oxen: when these are
dipped on Saturdays, it is possible to
put them to work on Monday, unless
the weather is unusually hot. 1t will
be necessary to dip your cattle every
two weeks. Ticks are Matched every
81 days and this will keep them free
of the nuisances.
Won't Affect Cows.
milk cows may be MIXED regularly,
and the dipping does not affect their
supply. Calves over one week of age
must be dipped. The inspectors will
be given full instructions, and with the
proper cooperation of the farmers,
Forrest county can be freed Of all
ticks within a year

CORNISH, n. H., July 26.-Unofficial
word of the sinking of the American
steamship Leelanaw, by German sub
marine was conveyed to President Will
son today, but he declined to make any
comment for publication pending the
receipt of full official details The news
that the crew of the steamer was saved
was received with relief by members
Of the presidential party.
President Wilson always has kept his
mind open in cases of attacks by Ger
man submarines until he received
complete report of the circumstances,
and it was thought probable that he
would pursue the same course in this
case, although the President himself
would give no indication of what would
be done.

BERLIN SPENDS A
DOLEFUL NEW YEAR
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Jan. Berlin showed
last night for the first time since the
outbreak of the European war that the
city's life is not proceeding along nor
NAL channels, the customary celebra-
tion welcoming the new year being
almost wholly lacking.
The absence of merry throngs up
on the streets demonstrated unmistak-
ably that the thoughts of the German
people are with their dead upon the
fields of battle. The desolation be-
ing wrought by the ravages of the
war is beginning to be felt most keenly
ly in many portions of the empire, es-
pecially in the congested cities, where
many almost every family has sacrifc-
ed one of more of their loved ones up
on the altar of the Fatherland.

BRITISH BATTLEsH|P
FORMIDABLE IS SUNK
BY GERMAN SUBMARINE
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The British pub
lie was shocked this morning when an
official statement issued by the admir-
atty informed the people of the sinking
of another battleship attached to the
Channel fleet, either by German sub
marine, or by coming into contact
with one of the numerous floating
mines known to be drifting in the
waters of that vicinity.
The battleship Formidable is the lat
est of England's floating fortresses to
go down before an unseen enemy and
practically every member of its crew
of seven hundred and fifty men per-
ished. Only seventy-one of the COM
plement of the Formidable are known
to have been rescued, but today's Ad-
miralty statement says others may
have been saved. The exact location
of the battleship at the time of the
disaster is not given in the bulletin
reciting its destruction.
The Formidable, while one of the
older battleships of the English navy
was very serviceable unit Of the
Channel fleet and considered a valua-
BILE fighting ship. It's keel was laid
seventeen years ago and the big
fighter was launched in 1898. Heavy
armor protected the vessel and modern
long-range rifles made it one of the
best equipped warships in the world
at the time of its completion.
