HOG CHOLERA DISCOVERY

An Ohio man last year treated 81
900 hogs for cholera and never lost a
hog. Up to this time he has never
told the story of how he accomplished
it. He did not realize the success he
had made. He is undoubtedly the
most successful man in the world to-
day with hog cholera--and pneumonia,
which is sometimes mistaken for hog
cholera. He has nothing to sell, but
the editor of this paper in co-opera-
ton with others, desire to give this
wonderful story to every farmer in
the United States. The full story will
appear in FARM NEWS, Springfield,
Ohio, and anyone dsiring to read it
may obtain sample copy Of the pa
per, by sending their name and address
to FARM NEWS. This is not an adj
vertisement.

county is represented in some peti.
ton. Under The law eleven congress
sional districts would have been suffi
cient. but the disposition to sign petit
tons was so strong throughout the
state that fifteen congressional dis
tricts were completed and filed.
Under the law $4,000 signatures
would have been sufficient, but the
Initiative Petition Committee, as
shown by previous figures, far exceed
ed the number required by law, as
well as the number of congressional
districts. 1t was a great occasion and
will make history for the state.
About a year ago a group of men,
consisting of farmers. business men,
bankers, professional men, scholars,
members of labor unions, newspaper
editors and representatives Of other
occupations and employments, organ
lied the Gardner Land Bank State
Committee. They came from all parts
Of the state Every congressional dis,
trict had its proportion of representa-
tiveS.
These men organized for the sole
purpose CT amending the State Consti-
tuition so as to provide for the estab.
lishment of the Missouri State Land
Bank.
The State Legislature at its 1915
session had passed what is known as
the Gardner Land Bank Bill, provid.
ing land bank for farmers. After the
Legislature had adopted this bill, in
order to avoid any possible doubt as
to its constitutionality. an amendment
TO the Constitution was prepared and
1t was determined to submit this
amendment by the initiative petition
to the people of Missouri.

and care to be free again in their own country. Just recall the fact that when the various nations of Flu rope were involved in the war and the call for reserves to return was sent out, the huge numbers of Bull gars, Italians, Greeks, Austrians, Germans, Servians and even Rus sians that made effort to get back. That alone showed that they still desired to hold their right to return to the land of their birth, and that could only be maintained by fulfil ling the very service they most loathed: compulsory military ser vice.
 Had industrial conditions been here different, had they during the greater portion of the life as they lived it, and it was lived while at work in the industries, been allow ed to retain a semblance of freedom and the iron of industrial subjection not been perpetuafly stabbed into them, these men would never have given the countries of Europe a thought, for their home would have
 been for them in the United States, as the only land that they knew worth living in. Industrial abso- klutism, denying them even semb- lance of industrial liberty, had be- l nied them that.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-09-21

The ideals of the American em- they are much more impersonal. Consequently the working hours in Europe are realized as the real life of the working classes, and no such emasculation of initiative, personal freedom, or conduct is tolerated
 And the person who has given no time to this condition of things will ask why then do so many European workers immigrate into this country That immigration is supposed to show that at worst, conditions are better here than at their best in Europe.
 As a matter of fact there are few of the more advanced nations send ing their emigrants any longer to the United States, and where the so-called backward" races are still coming in abundance, it is only with the intention of coming to the United States to make a stake no matter what comes, and get back to the old country with which relations are always closely maintained. But nowadays the great industries Of the country are obtaining fewer and fewer Germans, fewer and fewer British, fewer and fewer Scandi- navians, fewer literates from any nation. Those that arc coming are | seeking new land, homesteads, farm ing opportunities or are engaging ill l business on a large or small scale. l The Germans, the British, the Scan dinavian does not seek in such in- | dustries as the Steel trust, employ, ment. Only when the man is a high ly proficient artificer or expert al some specialization in the industries does he from those countries seek plants, always excepting the man penniless and unemployed who takes anything he can get.
 Immigration is really no criterion of conditions any longer; it is the condition under which immigration is carried on Few Italians are settling | in America. Few of the Balkan po- pulations are becoming permanently Americans. If they can escape the
 junk pile or the dump of the great corporations, they return home to live life of ease upon their saving.
 And that is always before them.
 That makes them shut their eyes
 to the despotism of the boss and the
 absolutism of the corporation be-
 cause they hope in time with thrift
