HELP FIGHT
HOG CHOLERA

One hundred and seven hogs Of every
1000 died from hog cholera in 1918, a
loss of over $65, 600, 600 to the farmers
of this country. To stop such terrible
losses, to get control of this disease,
every farmer must cooperate with his
neishbors. All must take steps to pre-
vent the disease from spreading where
present.
There il no cure for hog cholera,
though there are many so-called
cures" and "remedies' on the mar
ket. for which extravagant claims are
made by the manufacturers. There
are also "57 varieties" of home concoc-
tions which are supposed to have mar
velous virtues.
The disease will only be controlled
when every farmer works with his
neighbors in preventing the spread of
the diseassr, when there il honest CO.
operation between the farmers. butch
ers, feed and drug dealers, common
carriers and veterinarians.
The following interesting statistics,
gatharsd from three counties in Iowa
where hog cholera eradication work is
carried on, should convince every far
mer of the need for using every meas
ure to protect his herd.

ELECTRIC Line Survey BEGUN
CREW OF MEN NOW WORKING
EAST OF CITY-STOCK SUB
SCRIPTIONS ARE SLOW

B. H. Bradley, chief engineer for the
Minneapolis & Central Minnesota rail
way company, and crew OF men are
now at work surveying the route for
the electric short line that is planned
to be built between this city and Pierz.
They expect to complete work in about
two weeks, with favorable weather.
Thus far the surveyors have COM
pleted the preliminary survey to just
few miles from Pierz. They started
at the extreme east end Of Fourth
avenue northeast, passing through the
Pedley property. AS planned the route
will be almost straight from here to
Pierz, passing Pelkey Lake, near Gra-
velville, on the south side.
AS soon as the survey is completed
the company is entitled to 80 per cent
Of the $4,000 subscription, or $1,000.
Another 80 per cent is to be paid
when the grade is completed and the
remainder, together with $4,000 in
bonds, which the city will be asked to
vote, must be paid over when the road
is in operation. Those at the head Of
of the proposition claim the line will
be in operation this fall.
The committee on stock subscriptions
has been working hard to raise the re-
quired $4,000 but lately has met with
little success. About $4,000 has been
raised up to date. The committee is
anxious to close up the work and de-
sires the support Of the citizen of Lit
tie Falls in subscribing for the re-
naming stock.

hUTOISTS GETTING RECKLESS
TRAFFIC ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS
BECOMING NUMEROUs+AR-
RESTS MAY FOLLOW

Autoists in this city are returning
to their old ways of driving again,
seemingly having forgotten that there
is an ordinance regulating traffic on
the streets. They pay no attention to
which side Of the street they are driv-
ing on, cut across the street intersec-
tions and almost invariably leave their
cars facing in the wrong direction.
Chief Of Police Hang states that they
have been given enough time to learn
the rules of the ordinance and hereaf-
ter it will be enforced.
Little trouble is experienced with
pedestrians cutting across street in
tersections diagonally or otherwise vio-
lating the ordinance, except in few
cases, where they do not know of the
existence Of such an ordinance, the vio-
lators being mostly travelling sales
men who come here only once in a
great while.

BAND

w. H. Bastien, leader Of the local
band, is in receipt Of applications from
two young men in Nebraska for places
in the band. They want to come here
and work at their trades if positions
can be secured, and to play in the band
during spare time. The band is in
need Of several players and if positions
can be found for these young men 1t
is likely that they will come here.
A meeting of the Commercial club
was held last night to decide whether
the band would be retained this year.
AS the meeting was held after going to
press it cannot be stated what action
was taken but there is no question the
club acted favorably as at a recent
meeting the sentiment was unanimous
for the retention Of the band. It is
likely that committee of solicitors
will begin raising the necessary funds
soon.
