HOOf and Mouth
Disease Again

Our citizens received a fresh Jolt
again the latter part Of last week with
regard to the hoof and mouth disease.
We had supposed that this epidemic
had been pretty well eradicated gen
orally and wholly so far as Medina
county was concerned. But like a
thunderbolt out of a clear sky came
an order from Columbus clapping the
quarantine on Medina, Erie, Huron,
Hamilton and Lorain counties; the
townships of Townsend and York in
Sandusky county; the townships of
Thompson, Reed and Venice in Seneca
county and townships of Ruggles,
Troy and Sullivan In Ashland county.
The order prohibits absolutely the
movement of any cattle, sheep, other
ruminants and swine out Of said terri
tory or into said territory, or from
farm to farm within said territory
for any purpose whatsoever, over
railroads, public highways or other
wise; and prohibiting absolutely the
movement of any hay, straw, similar
fodder and manure, hides, horns
hoofs; wool, etc, in said territory for
41y piirpose whatsoever.
Prosecuting Attorney Underwood is
the recognized local authority in this
matter and he says that he has
answered SO many telephone calls dur
ing the past week that he fears
paralysis of the jaw.
The latest appearance Of the hoof
and mouth disease in the county is of
the most virulent type. In many In
stances before a herd had been killed,
large portions of the cattle's tongues
are known to have sloughed off. The
disease has reached such proportions
at the present time as to positively
paralyze all farm business. Nothing
can be moved, and all plans previous
ly made for profit have been abandon
ed.
Many herds throughout the county
are affected and state inspectors have
been busy all the week in slaughtering
Among those who have suffered loss
are Joe Pember, Frank Eglin, Joe
Bensinger, Guy Smith and Whitbeck
Of Spencer; Dan Hopkins and Frank
Fenstermaker of Homer; Sam Hart
man of Harrisville; C. E. Chandler Of
Sharon and George Geyer Of Pen
field.

LOOKING
FORWARD
A LETTER.

In commercial institution like this It
becomes necessary to forecast the seasons
business. Our buyers are called upou to
place orders for the future seasons even as
far ahead as next winter. The planning for
business calls for faith and courage in the
business world
Just now we are placing our orders for
the Spring and Summer and to some ex-
tent for next Fall, with that confidence
which is begotten by determination to have
faith in our country's business prosperity.
We are making our plans for at least a
normal business and we will not be sur
prised to see even more than normal bust
ness materialize
II the various branches of our govern
ment also our financial and commercial
heads and institutions, would bend their
energies toward the development of their
own work-through which destinies might
be controlled-and if all would concentrate
their minds upon business and forego the
discussion of so many generalties, so many
probable, direfu results, it is altogether
probable that the looked for era of unprec-
edented prosperity will come sooner than
we now expect.
Optimistic promises must give way to
REAL PERFORMANCES that's what
the whole country needs now

several successful seasons, and then
his "soupbene" began to go back on

management had purchased the Proyi

had intended this as a farm for its
