TWO sIRES FOR DAIRY HERD
Plan Is Advocated by Minnesota Ex-
pert for Purpose of Eradicating
Infectious Abortion.

CBy DR.. NJ. H. REYNOLDS, Minnesota
Agricultural College.)
We do not encourage anyone to
think that there is an easy, quick or
sure method of eradicating infectious
abortion from a herd of cattle. Sue
cess usually involves a very consider
able amount of work and trouble, al
though the money expense is not large.
It is a very good plan to keep two
sires for breeding service in valu-
able herd affected with this trouble.
One sire should be used exclusively
with infected or suspected animals
and the other with those that are
quite certainly uninfected. This is un-
questionably more effective than dis
infection before and after service.

Roads.
no doubt exists in the minds of the
members that a federal aid law soon
will be passed, although members did
not agree upon any particular plan or
bill to be presented to congress.
Federal aid is justified not only be-
cause past methods, including state
participation in road building, have
proved inadequate, but because the ac-
tivity Of the government would en-
phasize the Importance of better roads,
establish higher standards, and to
some extent shift the burden of ex-
pense from the rural resident to the
city dweller.
Although under federal aid city resi-
dents would contribute two-thirds of
the money to be expended, and all
would be spent on rural roads outside
OF incorporated cities and villages, no
opposition has been heard to it on
the ground that it would place an un-
just burden on the city resident, who,
while only indirectly benefited, appre-
ciates the value of good roads to the
community and the benefits that all
will enjoy.

SULZER REMAINS IN LEAD, HAS 82
 VOTES PLURALITY

Additional recheck on the returns from certain precincts of the First Division show that Charles A. Sulzer has lost % votes, which had been credited to him and Wickersham gained 9 votes over the figures pre- viously received by The Empire. This cuts Sulzer's plurality in the First Division from 51S to 49S, and cuts his lead on the Territory from l6O to S2, with the additional re- turns received today.
 This recheck is due to the fact that figures received by The En- pire from three precincts in the Division were not reported correct ly
 The vote at Charcoal Point had been reported as 45 for each Sulzer and Wickersham, but the corrected returns are 95 for Sulzer and 4S for Wickersbam. Beaver Falls had been reported S6 for Sulzer and ? for Wickersham, but the actual vote was for sulzer and 4 for Wickersham. This makes differ ence in favor of Wickersham of 25 votes.
 The count now stands 2,SS7 as Sulzer's vote in the First Division and 1894 for Wickersham, making the balance 493 in favor of Sulzer. The only two precincts in this Di- vision yet to be heard from are Shakan and Yakutat. At the for mer precinct there were but s votes cast and there are but possibly 4 at Yakutat. It is estimated that Sulzer will receive a majority of T of the 12 votes stlll to be reported which will make his majority from this Division an even 500 votes
 Additional returns received today from the Third Division give Sulzer 39 and Wickersham 80 votes out of a total of 119 votes cast in six precincts in that Division. The to- tai vote in that Division now stands Sulzer 1,6S6 and Wickersham 1894 making Wickersham's majority in that Division 25S.

 The Caesar will carry consider ably less cargo than originally esti- mated. It was said at first that she would be able to take about 4,OOO tons. but it develops that the maxi mum will be about 2,5OO. Att tempts were made to obtain more commodious boat, but none was available.
 More than $4OO,o has been col lected as a result of the war relief days, October 21 and 22, set apart by President Wilson for the suffer- CTS in Armenia and Syria. Money is still coming in, and it is possible the total will pass the half million mark. only $25O,OOO was needed to fill the Caesar

 Capt. w. Shade, master of the schooner, in describing the many hardships of the voyage, said that the storm was the worst he had en- countered in all of his experience at sea and said that is was litI!@ short of miraculous that the little schooner was not swallowed up by the great seas.
 "We were anchored about forty miles off Cape St. Elias when the storm began" said Captain Shade today. AS the gale increased i'll velocity our anchor carried away and with 1t went about 25O fatlo,ls of chain.
