LOOK AFTER FEET OF SHEEP
While Some Breeds Are More Suaeap.
Able to Trouble Than others,
None Are Exempt.

Il 10 important that the feet Of the
sheep should be looked after daily at
this season Of the year, because dur
ing the winter months many Of the
sheep pens may have become foul. or
the yards in which the sheep have
been running have been muddy, and
the continual tramping in foul pens or
muddy yards tends to produce sore
feet In the sheep, which. If let 70, is
liable to become serious trouble in
the ilocks.
The feet should be thoroughly
cleaned II there is the least doubt that
the feet may become sore. While some
breeds Of sheep are more susceptible
to this trouble than others, none are
exempt from It. After the feet have
been cleaned, they should be washed
with an antiseptic. A wash that we
have used with success is prepared by
dissolving one pound Of blue vitrioI
in one and half gallons Of water.
A good carbolic acid wash is also eff
fective.
Whether the feet are sore or not,
they should be examined to see If the
soles have turned under. Sheep like
rolling land best to Craze on, and there
is good reason for this, as they abhor
moist lands over which they are to
Craze, and if placed on wet lands, with
most breeds, the sheep are very likely
to have trouble with foot rot"

CONTROL OVER LOCAL ROADS
State Highway Departments Should
Be Given Some Measure Of Super
vision Over Thoroughfares.

The realization has become quite
general that, in order to render maxi
mum service, state highway depart
ments should be given some measure
of control over the construction and
maintenance of local roads. For this
class of roads an amount exceeding
$3.50, 900 900 is expended annually with
comparatively little result to show in
the form Of improved road mileage for
this great outlay The state of Iowa
has met this situation by placing all
the road work in the state under the
direction of the state highway de-
partment.
Traffic is increasing so rapidly as to
cause excessive wear upon the roads,
especially in the vicinity Of congested
centers of population. This results in
a heavy annual maintenance cost, av-
eraging in the large eastern states not
less than $3.50 per mile per annum.
Many experiments have been made in
the effort to devise types Of road
which can be maintained at relatively
low cost. Thus far, aside from the
cheaper forms of construction, the
states are depending upon the vari-
GUS forms of bituminous macadam,
concrete, and vitrified brick road

Death Of Young Man.

On Oct. %, 1915, late Friday
night, Vernon, son Of Aunt En-.
ME and D. Helms, answered the
call Of death and entered into rest.
Vernon was born Dec. 81, 1895,
making him nineteen years, nine
months and twenty.nine days old
when death came. He leaves a
heart-broken mother, father, three
sisters and one brother, many re.
latives and a host Of friends to
mourn his death. Vernon was a
Woodworking boy, worked all the
time. He talked all the time while
sick about SO many days he had
lost work. 1t is hard for mother,
father and children to give him up,
as mother will need him so much,
but when we think Of his going
and that we will have to stay away
from him but a little while. Yer
non is now at perfect peace; no
more restless DAYS and nights for
him; no more suffering, but all is
Joy.
Friday morning, before his death
Friday night, he Looked up to the
Lord and said, "Oh, Lord! Lord!
if ] have done anything to make
me suffer, this way | ask forgive
ness" Vernon was a good boy.
He was kind to his mother and
always had a kind word to speak
everyone. Don't grieve after him,
dear mother, for be is at rest He
was just too good, too smart to
stay there and work like he had
to work. All was done that loving
hands could do, but to no avail.
His remains were tenderIy laid to
rest in the sold cemetery at Pal
mersyille church, there to remain
until Christ's second coming,
when it will be raised to meet him
and will ever be with the Lord. |

STOCK BARN AND
STOCK ARE BURNED

: On Monday morning, at aboul
4 o'clock, the large stock barn O
! Mr.. Carl Parks, situated about
one and half miles northwest
OF Gleason, was burned to the
ground, entailing a heavy loss on
the owner. One very valuable
jack, worth probably $3.50. one
fine stallion, valued at $3.50 and
a good driving horse, worth $175,
together with $3.50 worth of hay
and about twenty barrels OF corn,
were also burned.
The fire was first discovered by
a negro hand on the place who
was awakened by the bright
light, He rushed to the Parks
home, informing Mr.. Parks, but
when he got to the barn it was
practically ablaze all rover the in
side, the long hallserving as a kind
OF aue and drawing the blaze
from end to end. 1t was useless
to attempt the saving of any
of the stock, as the whole in.
terror ofthe barnwas on fire and
burning fercely. Mr.. Parks
thinks the jack was alive when
he got there, but that he was
soon suffocated by the dense
smoke.
There had been no one at the
barn since feeding time Sunday
night, and the origin Of the fire
is a mystery. Mr.. Parks and
many Of his friends believe it was
The work Of an incendiary. Yet
this can hardly be true, since
there ia no more universally
popular man in the county than
Carl Parks. There is no cleaner
man in the county4than he. It
was not thought that be had an F,
enemy on earth; he says he does /
1ot know it if he has an enemy. t
An effort was made to procure
blood hounds from Paris, but the i

eel it worth while to make the h

The total loss is estimated to +

EXPENSE ESTIMATES OF COUNTY
OFFICIALS FORECAST INCREASE

The estimates presented by the va
rious officials and township assessors
for office expenses for next year show
an increase over the estimates of last
year This is attributed to the fact.
however, that definite instructions
were given to the official to include in
their estimates every expense that
would possibly come up during the
year.
Instructions have been given County
Auditor Bowman, who sent out the es-
innate blanks. for every county Off
cial to include in his estimate every
thing he will need in the way of office
supplies. They are asked to be more
specific than in former years. and the
reports that have been received show
that this has been done. This is done
SO that when bids are asked for on sup
plies they can all be included in one
contract, thereby doing away with the
necessity OF making additional appro-
priations during the year.
Estimates Expenses.
The following are the estimates to
be considered by the county council.

BERLIN, Aug. 9.-Swiss estimates
that the Russian losses are 5000, 900
men, with the prediction that it will
take two years to drill new forces to
replace the active troops and older re-
serves. are emphasized by the Over
seas News agency, in a statement is
sued today.
Among the innumerable press ut
terances in the neutral countries, %
says the statement, lis that of the
Lausanne Gazette, which is anti-Ger-
man, is most interesting. 1t says that
the fall of Warsaw Is of gigantic i'm
portance because it is proof that Rus
sia lack offensive strength, having lost
about three million men, composed of
active troops and older reserves. and
having left only forces which it will
take two years to organize, equip and
drill
Mail reports from Petrograd show
that the debate in the duma after the
ministers had made their speeches, the
government was fiercely attacked and
insulted. 1t was charged with incom-
potency, corruption and treachery by
M. Toehehidze, the Socialist radical
leader He asserted that if no radical
and immediate change were possible,
Russia would completely degenerate.
