The Foot : And Mouth
Disease

Texas Stockman Says Slices are
The Cause of it,
Above is the title of an article ap-
pearing in the Arkansas City Daily
Traveller" The article informs us
that prominent Texas farmer has
discovered the cause OF Foot-and-
Mouth disease. His advise in a nut
shell is: Quit using slices and the
foot-and-mouth disease will vanish.
This absurd statement has no
doubt been given some credence and
caused much harm, for we have re-
ceived several letters asking If
there Is anything in it," Foot-and-
mouth disease has been rampant of
late and many slices have been built,
therefore, reasoning from analogy,
the disease Is caused by the slices.
There Is about as much logic to this
conclusion. as with the ancient phil
osopher who classed cows and COM
cts together because they each had
tail. Basing our conclusions on
similar snapshot judgments we
might argue that the European war
Is caused by flying machines, or that
hog cholera which started about
fifty years ago was caused by the
emancipation proclamation.
Again If foot-and-mouth disease
Is caused from siiage we must con-
clude that when the disease appears
In the human, it is caused from eat
ing sauerkraut, which is the same
thing.
The ferments in the silage, smut.
and moulds. are each in turn ac-
cused of causing the disease Smut
has been fed to cows experimentally,
in large quantities, and caused
neither abortion OF sickness OF any
kind. The ferments in silage are
positively known to be wholesome.
The moulds which appear on the
surface of silage have been known
to poison animals, and mouldy sill
age or mouldy food of any kind
should never be fed to animals.
The absurd article referred to
would be worthy of no consideration
whatsoever were it not that II dis
parages the building of slices which
are prominently the monuments
erected to the thrift and enterprise
of community. Silagc does not
cause foot-andmouthd disease or any
other contagious disease.

THE GREAT RAILROAD
ARBITRATION CLOSED

The present wage demands of
engineers and iremen were first
made upon the railroads, October TO-,
1913. The railroads offered to arbi-
trate the whole question of rates and
rules. The employees refused to con-
slider the requests of the railroads
and insisted upon the arbitration on
ly of their own demands. The inter-
cession of President Wilson alone
prevented a strike from beginning
on August 7, last year.
The arbitration hearings began in
Chicago, Nov. 80, 1914. and ended
April /. 1915. The testimony and
arguments presented made a total
of more than 2,5O0,000 words and
the cost to the railroads and the
brotherhoods exceeded 100000.
There were, including the extra
men, 25,043 engineers and 24,279
firemen involved in the threatened
strike.
Last Friday Attorney James M.
Sheean closed his argument on be-
half of all the western railroads in
the greatest wage controversy ever
submitted to board of arbitration
in this country, if not in the world.
He was followed by Warren S. Stone
Grand Chief of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and closed
his argument before the Federal
Board of Arbitration, which for
more than four months has been
considering demands of Western en-
gineers and firemen for wage in
creases, which, if granted in full,
would cost the railroads Sal, 900, 900
| more year.
The award is to be rendered
sometime this month.

High School Triangular
Literary Contest

The Oratorical contest held at the
Opera house last Friday evening was
very interesting and very closely
contested.
ent than former ones as all of the
contestants were new and no one
could be sure how the decisions
would be given.
All of those taking part were
well trained in their work; in conse-
quence a very good program was
submitted to the public.
The orations were especially good
and those given by Roy Mcconnell
and Myron Schall were on questions
which are puZzling the heads of the
nations today.
The Columbians were victorious
in this contest with the Athenians
taking second and the Hesperians
third place. The Hesperians were
handicapped in this contest by lack
of contestants and would probably
have made much better showing
II they had been represented in all
of the different numbers.
The honors taken IN the essays,
were:
First-Emma Martin, Columbian
Second-Mary Beardsley, Athen-
ian.
In the Piano Solo:
First-Edith Van Nostrand, Col

ATTACH WHISTLES TO PIGEON
Ingenious Idea Of Chinese Results In
Birds Giving Continuous Open
Air Concerts.

One Of the most curious expressions
Of emotional life in China is the ap.
plication Of whistles to flock of
pigeons. These whistles. very light,
weighing hardly few grams, are at
tached to the tails of young pigeons
soon after their birth, by means Of a
fine copper wire, SO that when the
birds fly the wind will blow through
the whistles and set them vibrating,
thus producing an open-air concert.
for the instruments in one and the
same flock are all tuned differently.
There are two distinct types of
whistles those consisting of bamboo
tubes placed side by side, and type
placed ON the principle Of tubes at
tached to gOurd body or wind chest.
They are lacquered in yellow. brown.
red and black to protect the material
from destructive influences of the at
mosphere. The tube-whistles have
either two, three or FIVE tubes. In
some specimens the five tubes are
made Of OK horn instead of bamboo.
The gourd whistles are furnished
with . mouthpiece, and small aper.
lures to the number Of two, three. six.
ten and even thirteen. Certain among
them have besides q number Of BAN.
boo tubes, some on the principal
mouthpiece. some arranged around It.
These varieties are distinguished by
different names. Thus whistle with
one mouthpiece and ten tubes 10
called the eleven.eyed one"
