1 Washington, November 14,-(Special.) There were innumerable premature obit- uares last Wednesday morning. When the early returns put New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana (normally democratic) and Illinois in the republican column, practically everybody conceded the victory to Charles Evans Hughes. ! The great majority of American news pie statement to the effect that with MT. Hughes as President, the nation would continue to exist. A few, however, in stating reasons for the defeat of Mr. Wilson," committed themselves to such an extent that their embarrassm to- day is almost overwhelming.
 Of the many blunders, however. none appears today in a more ludicrous light than that of Colonel Roosevelt. "The election of MT. Hughes" he declared in an authorized statement, means the vindication of our national honor" And then in spirit of resignation, he de- clared that he would not make himself the boss of the new executive.
 GERMANY AND ENGLAND
 Newspapers across the sea participated in the general error Germany declared that Germany was responsible, that German-Americans in honor could not have supported a man so bitter against the fatherland."
 And English newspapers expressed sat- isfaction. For if reports are true, Eng land had anticipated some lively scenes with Parliament and MT. Wilson playing leading roles. England, if these reports are true had been worried a trifle be- cause of this country's determination to recover its rights on the high seas and to put crimp in the blacklist of the United Kingdom.
 Since, however, it has been proved that the account of the Presidents political death was exaggerated" both Germany and England, through their newspapers, have changed their tunes. The verdict of Germany is that as 'the United States is money mad, and will not permit war as the result of any provocation to upset prosperity, the election of MT, Wilson means a perpetuation of the present friendship between the two nations"

BLIND STACCFRS CAUSES
MUCH Loss OF STOCK
moIdy Hay and BtIghtad Grasses Prob
able Causes-Propcr Precautions
Viii Prevent This Disease.

The disease OF horses and mules
bllnd-staggerS, sO-called, is known by
a number Of names, such as menlnSl
tbs, cerebro-spnal meningitis, and Ia,
ter, forage poisoning, seems to he
quite prevalent at the present time
throughout Louisiana, as well as
some other of the states, and is caus'
ing considerable loss amongst these
animals.
Unfortunately it is very fatal
| ailment when once it attacks the ami
NAL, but On the other hand it is one
that may be prevented if only owners
were a little more familiar with It.
These who have had to do with the
disease have observed that climatic
conditions seem to play an important
part in its occurrence, and it seems
most prevalent during seasons Of sun.
shine and showers in the warm part
Of the year, which are favorable to
the development Of vegetable life gen
orally, and to molds or fungi Of diff
ferent kinds, which are also vegeta.
Bile in their nature.
Such climatic conditions as We have
spoken Of seem to have been preva.
lent locally, at least, if not generally,
throughout the state, and the animals
attacked are usually those that have
been grazing on good pastures, but
where the grasses have been attacked
by some of the numerous fungi. MI
morous investigations have been
made to try to discover the actual
cause Of this ailmclt, as it has been
thought possible that it might be of
bacterial nature. However, nothing
absolutely definite has been arrived
at, so far, along this line of work.
However, be this as it may. there
seems little question that the disease
is in some way associated with the
feeding Of moldy grain, especially dur.
ing the winter season, and of blight
ed grasses during the summer, under
climatic conditions such as we have
alluded to, as a complete change Of
feed will usually stop the disease
right away.
And while the trouble may be with
the blighted grasses at the present
time, 1T may, later on, be with the
corn which has been grown during
the hot, showery weather, and fed
from the crib in moldy state.
Following this short explanation,
we would urgently warn horse and
mule owners to keep their animals |
from grazing on long, luxuriant past
ures where there is any chance Of |
blight or mold, and feed them on good, |
cleean hay for the present.
A large percentage Of the ami.
mails attacked die, and cures are |
not to be depended upon. But |
the disease may be prevented by |
eliminating the cause, that is, keeping
the animals away from the blighted |
pastures, and, later, cutting out the !
moldy corn when fed from the crib.

WEAVING TIME CRITICAL
IN YOUNG ANlF'.AL'S LIFE
Mothers Milk Natures Own Food:
Future Development Depends on
Proper Substitute.

There may be several factors { !.
bining to prevent the fuller growth
and development Of our native live
stock, especially during the growing
period Of their lives, but one of the
most important is lack Of the proper
amount and kind of feed after thew
have been Weaned. The mothers milk

as the young animal gets enough milk
from its mother it usually grows and

ner, supply the nouIi5nment which
the mothers milk contained, and

This is not usually the case with
most Of our native animals, but in.
stead, after weaving time, they are
permitted to hunt for themselves,

the result, that they do not get a SUI

ment to keep them growing; they be.

turity, small, scrubby, and understood, !
such as we frequently see amongst
both our horse and cattle stock.
What is needed, therefore, to en-
able them to attain greater size and !
weight, is, after weaving, to supply
them with some concentrated feed, in
addition to grazing, which contains
the nourishment, to some degree at |
least, as was supplied to them IN
their milk. This may seem a some,
what expensive pro}'ositlon when ap-
piled to what we term our common
stock; but it is a question whether It
would not pay in the end in their in

Another One of Our
Boys Made Good

Several of our fellow tOWnsmer
We're in the city Of Baton Rouge
last week and all of them bring
back fiattering reports concerning
the the success of one of Our boys
William Burris, who was borr
and reared here. All of his
many relatives aud friends will
be pleased to hear that "Bill", as
he is most frequently called, is
now a prosperous BUSINESS man
in that growing city. He is a
stoekholder and Secretary of the
Baton Rouge Plumbing Company
which is engaged in the whole
sale and retail plumbing business
and other business interests as
well.
This young man is an example
of that hard won success which
counts. After taking the course
here in the High School he went
to Baton Rouge determined to-
finish the course at the State
University. Reaching that city
with less than half a hundred
dollars in bis pocket he secured
a position with Mr.. W, J. Basler
who was conducting a plumbing
business, and he worked even.
ings, mornings and nights, thus
earning sufficient to meet his
expenses. During the four years
of University work he found his
income from his position growing
and when he graduated his saw
ings amounted to more than half
thousand dollars. His employee
being unwilling to give him up
proposed the organization of the
Company and the above mention.
cd young Rurris became a partner.
Every business man in the City
of Baton Rouge knows Chill"
Burris and we are told they all
have nothing but words of praise
to say about him.
Much credit is reflected upon |
his prents, Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. |
Burris, and his Uncle and Aunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Stallings,
who reared this young man, and
we all rejoice with them over his
deserved success.
