We take the following from let.
ter to the Springfield Times from
Sergt. Mark J. Hurlbut, with the
s. D. National guard ct San Benz.
to, Texas:-
"Don't know when we will get
out of here, prospects are not good
as we are the only regiment that
has been issued all new govern.
ment equipment, and it looks like
a long stay on the border. Old
state equipment has been returned
TO Redfeld.
do not think we are going to
have any trouble with Villa or Car
rama but with the numerous
bands of bandits. We are having
trouble with them at all times and
at all places along the border. The
Mexican bandit sure hates the
troops and will do all the damage
he can to troops and citizens. He
is of tae lowest class of Mexican.
There has been hundreds of mix
ups between the troops and ban
dts that is never heard OF further
than the immediate vicinity.
Y n y
Each company gets two weeks of
guard duty at time. Sergeant of
the Guard has to make the rounds
at least three times each week, our
section is about twelve miles long
including the town of San Benito
aud we have trouble all along the
line. Every Mexican must be
watched 80 long as there is a guard
in sight he will behave, but once
out of sight he can't be trusted.
We will either have to clean. n.up
Mexico, or guard the border for
ever"

Strength of a Flower.

A rock split nS,lnder by growing
Irce that has found lodgment in what
was at first only Il small crack is ia
Iailiar sight to most people. The force
that Il tree eNerts in accomplishing
Ilis feat is tremendous, but relatively
it is not equal to that exerted by the
flower that John Burroughs describes
in Il recent book, ''The Breath of
Life"
One of the most remarkable exhibit
tions of plant force ever saw was in
Il western city, where observed wild
sunfiower forcing it's way up through
the asphalt pavement; the folded and
compressed leaves Of the plant, like
mans fist, had pushed against the hard
but flexible concrete until it bulged up
and split, and let the irrepressible
plant through. The force exerted must
have been many pounds. I think it
doubtful if the strongest man could
have pushed his fist through such a
resisting medium.
Life activities are kind of explo-
sion, and the slow, continued explO-
sions of this growing. plant rent the
pavement as surely as powder would
have done. 1t is doubtful if any cul-
tivated plant could have overcome
such odds. 1t required the force of the
untamed, hairy plant of the plains to
accomplish the feat.

At the hearing the plaintiff held
that the meeting must be q gener.
al one open to both sides. They
interpret the clause which says
when and where any person may
appear and show cause why such
permit should Not be granted" the
same as though it read "should or
should not be granted" In other
words, they would read into the
law the words "should or" Thus
they contend that by refusing to
grant the hearing the council de.
prived the applicant of the oppor-
tunity to present his side of the
case, and asked the court to order
such hearing. The defense con-
tended that the applicant had al
ready had his day in court. That
he had presented his application
and had substantiated it by 20
witnesses who had testified by Pc
tition to his fitness to operate a
saloon, and that under the strict
reading of the law, that this is the
only privilege accorded him. That
with this showing he rests his case,
and it is then in the hands of the
council for action. They contend
that there is one and only one re.
8 friction placed upon the council
in its action on this application,
and that is that before they can
grant the application they must
give the public an opportunity to
be heard in opposition, and in an
swer to the testimony of the twen-
ty witnesses already given for the
applicant. They contend that the
council may reject the application
on its own motion without calling
for protests if in their judgment
they find the showing of the appli-
cant insufficient, just as a Judge
may set aside case in court after
hearing the evidence Of the plain
tiff, and without hearing the testi.
smony of the defense, if he finds the
testimony of the plaintiff has not
proven his allegations.
After hearing the argument on
the demur offered by Atty. Neigh
en-, for the city, the judge took the
case under advisement.

We notice from our exchanges
whose editors attended the state
fair at Huron that there is
more criticism than ever before re.
garding the questionable conces.
sions that were granted, and the
drunkenness that prevailed on the
streets of the city. Whether there
were more than usual of these
things this. year than formerly, or
whether they are becoming more
distasteful to the people we do not
know, but it is certain that they
are drawing more criticism.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The fight over the revision OF ex-
press rates in South Dakota is get
ting quite complicated. For some
time the intrastate rates, that is
rates on shipments that begin and
end within the state, have been
much lower than the interstate
rates. The Sioux City jobbers
who had been supplying customers
in this state found themselves at q
disadvantage as they had to pay
interstate rates, while their COM
petitors in the jobbing centers of
the state had the advantage of the
lower rates. The Sioux City job.
bers complained to the interstate
commerce commission, which after
an Investigation ordered the ex-
press companies to raise the South
Dakota intrastate rates to make
them correspond with the inter-
state rates. The railroad commits
sioners OF this state then got a
temporary restraining order from
the South Dakota supreme court
prohibiting the express companies
from complying with the interstate
commerce commissions orders and
setting a date for hearing to deter
mine whether the order should be
made permanent. Now the federal
circuit court has issued restrain
ing order on the supreme court
prohibiting it from considering the
matter until the federal court shall
determine whether the supreme
court has jurisdiction. Here the
matter rests at present, but there
are several more legal twisters that
may yet be invoked, and in the
meantime South Dakota is still en-
]oylng the cheaper rates. Should
the change ordered by the inter.
state commerce commission be
made it will more than double our
present rates. For instance the
present rate on a shipment of 100
pounds from Sioux Falls to Scot.
land is thirty. five cents, and under
the proposed rate it would be nine
ty cents, and rates generally would
be raised in proportion. The gen.
eral feeling is that the present rates
are high enough, and if uniformity
is necessary :he interstate rates
should be lowered.

Mining Co, of Montana, and Wis.
ited that place to inspect the coal
output. They report that the
quality of coal is superior to that

and if reasonable freight rates
could be procured quite saving in
the price of coal could be effected
At present the rates are prohibltive
but an effort will be made to get a
reduction.

But Not So Bad If You
Know How TO Reach
The Case

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys. Maryville people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case:
J. M. Reece, manager of grocery and
meat market, Pine St, Maryville, says:
"My kidneys troubled me for a long
time. The complaint started with
backache and my back got weak and
sore. Sometimes was so stiff, could
hardly get up or down, especially
mornings. The kidney secretions passed
too freely, and, after the trouble had
run on for quite awhile, l found that |

on for this complaint, but changed my
mind and began using Doan's Kidney
Pills. got better right away, and,

MONEY IN SMALL
FLOCK OF SHEEP
By R. M. Murphy, Division of Exten.

(By r. M. Murphy, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee)
There is more money to be made
from small flock Of sheep, judiciously
handled, than from any other kind of
stock on the farm. They do not stand
crowding, but on nearly every farm
in the state there is room for a small
flock Mr.. H. G. Lawler, of Martin,
Tenn, is taking advantage of the
sheep situation in the following man
ner: He furnishes the farmers of the
surrounding community a small flock,
assuming all loss from dogs or death
from any cause, for one-half the wool
and lambs. For number Of years he
has been increasing the number until
he now has scattered through the
country more than 500 ewes in flocks
ranging from 25 to 50 in number, gen.
orally. In the community where, up
until he started this, not sheep was
to be found because of fear of the dogs,
etc. Indications are now that in the
course of the next few years every
farmer will have a small flock. They
have paid, and paid we'll, in this com.
because cotton has been low
in price and the farmers have needed
the money. Mr. LAWYER makes 80 per
cent on his investment, which is more
than he can make in many other legit-
innate ventures, and the farmer just
simply finds his half, for he has an
abundance of weeds and Japan clover
going to waste. There is great oppor-
tunity for this plan to succeed in many
other communities in the state.

HOG CHOLERA
ERADICATION
Methods of Prevention and
Control by C. D. Lowe Uni
Versity of Tennessee
GREATEST SCOURGE OF SWINE
The Sick Hog and the Dead Hog Are
the Most Dangerous Sources Of
ChoIera-Watch These and Forget
the Buzzard.
(By c. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)

(By c. D. Lowe, Division of Extension
University of Tennessee.)
Hog cholera, the greatest scourge Of
the swine industry, is still a problem
of large proportions. An emphasis Of
the sanitary and hygienic side of il
seems indicated that more headway
may be made in controlling it.
In this connection it may be well tC
quote some pertinent truths expressed
on this subject by the Missouri Agri
cultural College, as follows:
Hog Cholera.
Symptoms:
l. Loss of appetite and feVerishness.
2. Huddling together in beds, wab'
bly, gait, weak in hind parts.
3. Eye-lids matted together. Red
splotches on skin of belly and inside
of hams.
4. May have diarrhoea, or NAV be
constipated.
8. Post-mortem shows lymph glands
congested, lungs speckled, spleen en-
larged and soft, kidneys speckled like
turkey egg, ulcers in intestines.
Prevention:
l. Keep hogs free from parasites
such as lice and worms.
q Furnish proper sleeping quarters,
avoid draughts, wet bedding, piling
up, etc.; these conditions may cause
pneumonia and thus predispose to
cholera.
8. Change location of hogs occasion
ally.
Do not make sudden changes in
methods of feeding; such may cause
indigestion and lessen resistance to
cholera; slightly laxative ration is
best.
5. Keep newly purchased hogs sepa-
rated from rest Of herd for at least
four weeks.
6. Use care to prevent infection car
riers coming from farms where dis
ease is located
7. Hogs coming in contact with pub.
lie highways or streams are in danger
of exposure to cholera at any time.
q 6, Sheds and per should be o$ca-
Nonafy dlsinfected with slaked lime
8, When hogs are exposed to the
disease vacCinate at once with the sim
gle treatment (serum alone).
Control:
l. Quarantine all sick hogs so that
infection will not be carried to other
herds.
2. Burn all carcasses of hogs that
have died of cholera or other diseases.
3. Administer serum to all apparent
ly healthy hogs.
4. Clean up all pens, hog houses and
yards, and disinfect with freshly
slaked lime.
5. Remove all filthy and insanitary
mud walloWs.
The sick hog and the dead hog are
the most dangerous sources of chol-
era; watch these and forget the buzz
card. Do not deliberately put cholera
on your farm by vaccinating by the
method (serum and
virus). When necessary to vaccinate
use serum alone.
