.HOGCHOLERA|N
MASON VALLEY

Dr. f. II. Baker OF Gardnerville
who In an inspector for the State
Board of Stock Commissioners, has
been assigned by DR.. W. b. Mack
State Quarantine officer. for duty in
Mason Valley to clean up the remains
OF the outbreak of hog cholera of last
fall and winter The disease has been
eradicated or brought under control
upon all but few ranches, says the
Yerington Times. What remains il to
be dealt with vigorously as the disease
must be eradicated FROM the valley IN
order to place the hog raising industry
upon a safe and profitable basis.
There is an impression in the minds
of some farmers that the law is in
adequate. This impression is err
roneous Our livestock laws clothe
the State Quarantine officer with au-
thority sufficient to eradicate an out
break of such a disease as hog chol-
era. The law has not been vigorously
enforced In Mason Valley up to. date
as the State Quarantine officer has be-
Iieved that the disease could be Grad
icated by quarantine control with
out insisting upon the immnnization
OF exposed hogs. The more progress
sigef armers have followed the advice

Or. Bakers visit marks the begin

less the owners of infected or exposed
herds are willing to immunize, such
orders will be issued, and the claim
for the expense of immunization be-

Such claims take precedence over

PERFECTION TO BE SOUGHT
Small Probability of Mankind Reach
ing 1t, But at Least the Effort
Should Be Made.

We hear great deal about the fin
ish~d product rs applied TO material
things. and enjoy tracing the details
which mark the successive develop
ments Of objects from their crude con
dition to their finished state. In the
attainment Of all worldly objects we
want the best there is-the finest silks.
the most beautiful pictures, the hand
soonest furniture, the most exquisite
tapestries, etc. are none too good for
our esthetic taste. yet unfortunately
we do not apply the same standard to
our own morals. Ii is enough that we
manage to live within the law, so to
speak. to keep just within the lines.
and IL Is rare indeed that we find n
man who devotes his time and strength
to making n finished spiritual product
Of himself. Perhaps such feat is I'M
nttainable by mortal man. the human
side IF his nature being too strong
to permit his more spiritual side to
gain the upper hand. Such reasoning
apparently payes the way for the
conclusion that most of us reach that
II is impossible for any man to at
thin a condition of perfection. This
is true, of course, but at the same
time we must not forget that for all
our inability to ascend to the heights
we can, at least, progress by easy
and natural stages toward their sum
mlts. II does not make very much
difference II we do not actually reach
the top II we honestly do everything
within our power to do so.

chance to win first honors. But the
great playing of the Fort Lyon in
winning a double header on Sunday

FLAWS IN JUDICIAL SYSTEM
Writer Somewhat Bitter In Criticism

that in a capital case of Importance
1t is a matter Of the greatest dihicul-
ty to get jury, asserts Melville Davis
son Post in Saturday Evening Post
Hundreds OF talesmen are examined.
Sometimes this examination goes on
for weeks. The whole panel may be
interrogated without getting a single
juror. 1t has cost as much as $4,000
in some cases to get jury. The re-
suit of the minute technicality of the
rules governing this feature of the
game is that citizens competent for
jury service are sifted down to the
most unintelllgent, and the admins.
tration of Justice is thereby turned
over to the most ignorant and most
irresponsible persons In the whole
community.
When such a Jury is selected, the
trial finally begins. Everything up
to this time has been merely prelimi-
nary. At last the game is called to
be played before a jury of the most
unintelligent persons that the attor.
ney for the defendant has been able
to get on it, and before a referee
whose sole concern is so to conduct
the game that he will not violate any

distributing the melons this year.
When the fair was smaller the rule
which prohibited the taking out of
what was termed the melon yard"
was all right, but in the past few
years the crowds have become so
great and so much fault has been
found with the crush at the melon
pile that different plan has been de-
cided upon and this year patrons of
the fair will be allowed to take their
melons anywhere they chosose to cat
them, with the exception that none
will be allowed in the grand stand
or in any of the buildings. This new
rule will bring joy to the hearts of
