HOG CH0L ERA IS
PREvENTABLE DISEASE
Enormous Amount OF Pork
Lost In Arkansas Every
Year Could Be Saved.

Twenty million pounds Of pork
have been lost in Arkansas since
Sept |, 1915, by hog cholera which
could have been prevented. This is
a loss which should attract the at
tention not only Of the farmers but
bankers and business men alike,
since we are making such a stren-
uous effort to feed ourselves, says
G. L. Caldwell, Asst State vetelinar.
ian with the College of Agriculture
at Fayetteville, Arkansas. Twenty
million pounds of pork at the pres
ent time is worth at least S2,000,-
900, This could be saved by an in
vcstment of $100,0000O in serum
figured at actual cost of so cents per
100 pounds live weight of the hog if
furnished by the State Serum Plant
at Little Rock. This hog insurance
can be had for S per cent on the
market value of this pork which we
need for home consumption Every
business man must admit that an
investment of 5 per cert against
certain loss is worth while and that
$l00,0O000 spent to save 10000
900 pounds Of pork or $2,0000OO
certainly would be good business.
This loss does not include the de-
crease In the production Of pork
due to lack Of increase In the mum.

the great discount against pork pro-
duction in the state because II is

In the milder form, With these
losses added, Arkansas annual loss
from hog cholera would greatly ex.

Culture.

Taking culture in the individual as
meaning a development Of all the fac
ulties it follows that the most cul-
tured nation is that in which there is
the greatest number of all round men.
And if this be true, we must at once
realize how hopeless is the task OF
attempting to estimate the extent OF
culture in various nations.

ize the seriousness Of the condition
and certainly it will not be long be-
fore every thinking business man
and farmer alike will take up the
fight. Every hog raiser must be en-
listed in order to drive the cholera
from the state. Every farmer must
learn to recognize the disease and
he must not be content to call it
worms, thumpS or indigestion and
let his hogs die.
AT the present time the loss from
hog cholera in the United States is
about $75,00O,O000O or about twice
the loss from Texas fever and near
ly equal to the loss from all other
live stock diseases. Arksnsas stands
22nd in pork production; consequent
ly, a $2,000,00000 loss for our state
is an exceedingly large proportion
of the national loss. 1t is hard to
realize or comprehend the magni-
tude of the tremendous saving which
is possible, a saving sufficient to
build fine macadamized road
from Little Rock to Blytheville an
nually or a saving Of more than
SlO0 Tor every man, woman and
child in the state, It is time for
the farmers of Arkansas to stop
this great drain on their farm re-
sources Business men must real
ize that cholera Is a preventable
loss and should insist that those to
whom they extend credit should
conserve their livestock wealth.
Cholera is preventable and can be
eradicated by the use Of anti-hoe
cholera serum and sanitary meas
ures and by these alone.
There is no reason In the world
why the hogs of Arkansas should
average only rs pounds per animal
while those in Iowa approximate
200 pounds, There is no reason
why Arkansas should rank 22nd In

how to prevent a preventable dis

SCANDAL TO WHITMAN
Sends Letter to Governor Accus-
ing Him of Breaking Pledge

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 25.-Thomas hott
Osborne tonight made public an open
letter to Governor Charles S. Whitman
in which he charges that the states
Executive is the chief cause OF the
persecution to which he has been sub
jected.
Mr.. Osborne's reasons for the charges
are given at length in incidents on
specific dates, which, he claims, SUB
stantiate his charges. He sums them
up as follows:
First, in that you did not support
me when attacked by superintendent
(of prisons) Riley, as you PROMISED
and as it was your duty 10 do. .
Second, in that you did not attempt
to appoint commission to really M,
vestigate Sing Sing, as you PROMISED
and as it was your duty to do.
Third, in that you did not exercise
your official power TO discourage the
attack upon a state officer in the faith

contrary, gave encouragement TO the
Westchester County officials in creating
one of the most detestable scandals
that have disgraced the State OF New

Justice Cohalan rendered a decision
yesterday which will permit the 1000
or more National Guardsmen who re-
turned from the Mexican border after
the registration lists were closed to
vote. In a proceeding brought by Major
Cornelius Vanderbilt and Edward X.
Nottingham, private, he ordered the
Board Of Elections to accept the regis
tration Of the Guardsmen. This will
make it necessary for the boards in the
election districts where such men live
to meet again.
There was no objection by the Attor-
ney General, representing the Secretary
of State, or the Corporation Counsel,
for the Board Of Elections. The latter
body, however. takes the view that each
belated Guardsman must procure a
specific order from the court.

ENLISTS WOMEN
FOR NEW FIGHTS
g. o. P. Gets Campaign
Train for Illinois and
Kansas
By ERNESTINE EVANS

On Board the Women's National
Campaign Train for Hughes, Colorado
Springs, Oct. 25.-Three heavily at
tended meetings In Colorado Springs
filed the first day Of the last part OF
the women's trip. The rest Of it is to
be spent in completing the organiza-
ton Of Republican women in Kansas
and Illinois. Alvin Hert, Western Re-
publican manager, in a telegram to
Miss Frances Kellor, asking the women
to work for four days in Kansas and
three in Illinois, emphasized his APP
probation of the campaign train and
its work.
James R. Garfield told Miss Kellor
last night that for the first time the
Presidential situation was in great
measure in the hands Of the women.
The balance Of power in Illinois, Colo
RADIO and Kansas and largely in Wash
ington and Arizona, Western managers
of both parties frankly admit lies with
them. This situation is encouraging
the Republicans.
The special arrived here at a. m.
and was met by committee Of fifty,
headed by Mrs. Spencer Penrose, who
was in charge of the breakfast and re-
ception.
An enthusiastic audience of eight
hundred heard Mrs. Nelson O'Shaugh-
nessy's retort to "He kept US out of
war"
81, too, like many another" she said.
"have a husband and a son. But
know that my husband and my son
belong first to God, second TO their
country and last of all TO me. And I
firmly believe that when the women of
country take any other view some
essential virtue has gone out Of the
nation"
Mrs. Raymond Robins in attacking
the Adamson law as a BETRAYAL of the
weaker labor groups said:
THE Adamson law is not an eight
hour law. Both Mr.. Garretson, presi-
dent of the national organization Of
conductors, and Elisha Lee, chairman
Of the railroad managers, have stated
publicly that there will be no eight
hour day until punitive overtime has
been stipulated by law. and this the
Adamson bill does not do. 1t is merely
the first minimum wage law enacted
for men.
"The Adamson law is a surrender.
It Is class legislation. We who know
the labor problems of our country in
timately look to Mr.. Hughes and TO
Mr.. Hughes alone as the man of in
tegrity and courage needed to face
Justly the seething domestic issues in
our midst"
DR.. Katharine B. Davis addressed the
audience on nationalism. Mayor Nc
Kesson of Colorado Springs presided
and District Judge Horace Lunt made
the address Of welcome.
