CANT PA|GN IN
THIS COUNTY
WARMING UP
COUNTY CHAIRMAN AND HIS
ABLE ASSISTANTS ARE GOING
OUT INTO THE PRECINCTS RAL-
LYING THE VOTERS.

The Democratic county central
committee is beginning an active
campaign of the county and have
prepared announcements to bill every
precinct fixing speaking dates at
which time men will be supplied to
address the voters.
These dates have been so arranged
that every voting precinct in the
county will be visited before the date
Of election and national as well as
local issues discussed.
The opposition has already been
active in hopes of supplanting some
of the regular nominees of the Dem
ocratic party, but the committee will
take steps to counteract what effect
they may secure. The Republicans
and Socialists are especially active
and 1t has been intimated that there
may be a "gentleman's agreement
between them whereby they hope to
secure some of their candidates a
place on the pay roll. Chairman
James A. Cotner and his assistants
are going to see that every part OF
the county is thoroughly covered and
have secured the services of some
of the ablest speakers to present the
claims of the regular nominees of the
Democratic party. The lndepend
ents are also making strenuous ef
forts to land their candidate in the
sheriff's office, but from present in
dications there is little likelihood OF
their doing So Recent events have
convinced real Democrats that there
has been some pretty poor politics
played in hopes to effect this meas
ure and are going to resent it al
the polls. The campaign from now
on will be very warm in Carter coun
ty and the largest vote since the ad
vent of statehood is looked for in the
coming election.

two days beginning next Saturday
night with daily matinees.
THE Birth of a Nation" is the
most tremendous and vital picture yet
produced. The reconstruction OF a
nation after the abolition of slavery
is graphically shown, and one sees
all of the great events that led up to
the reunion of this nation.
A splendid musical score, combin'
ing folk tunes, patriotic airs, dance
melodies and excerpts from the COM
positions of the great masters, all so
arranged as to fit happily into the
enacted scenes, is played by large
symphony orchestra, and this music
plays no small part in the enjoy
ment the picture affords.
Half a million dollars was spent in
staging this mammoth production
and eight months elapsed before the
picture was completed. In order
that the big battle scenes and other
spectacular incidents of the photo
drama might be adequately presented
$4,000 people were utilized together
with 5000 horses. 1t is, however
the engrossing story of the play that
makes it the master work it has ev'
erywhere been acknowledged.

[EPR0SY IS
APPARENTLY
INCREASING
FIVE THOUSAND CASES SUBJECT
TO AMERICAN CONTROL is
NOW ESTIMATED BY DR.. HoFF-
MAN.

Cincinnati O., Oct. 26.-Leprosy Is
apparently increasing in civilized
countries, according to DR.. Frederick
II. Hoffman, statistician of the Pru-
Dental Insurance company, who pre-
sented today before the American
Public Health association the results
of a study of the statistics of this
disease.
Dr. Hoffman said that a conserva-
tive estimate of the number OF cases
in this country would be 300 and that,
as shown by the returns from the
state of Louisiana, the disease is ap-
parently on the increase.
Abiding to his investigations at
leper settlements throughout the west
ern hemisphere, and the urgency or
a more intelligent study of the statis-
tical aspects for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the essential contributory fac
tors, DR.. Hoffman said an attempt was
/ being made to bring together, by uni
form and standardized methods, the
leprosy statistics for at least the prin-
cipal leper settlements throughout the
world, so as to ascertain with greater
accuracy the prevailing types Of the
disease, the average duration before
apprehension, and the average length
of after-treatment.
He estimated the known lepers in
the world at not fewer than 2,OOO,OOO,
of which the large majority were In
the far east. Including the United
States insular possessions, he esti-
mates that the number of lepers sub
iect to American control Is not much
smaller than 5000.
DR.. Hoffman said he was strongly
in favor OF effective segregation and
more humane treatment, especially In
the case of isolated lepers apprehend-
ed in interstate traffic and for which,
at the present time, inadequate pro-
vision was made in the majority OF
cases, and adequate provision only in
the case of three or four states In the
absence of complete federal leper su-
pervision and control. He suggested
the establishment of a federal lepro-
sarium, in conformity to bill intro
duced in the United States senate.
That this measure had not become a
law was regrettable, he said, as mean
while the present conditions of "ill-
considered treatment and lack of prop
er care" would have to continue.

How catarrh Is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which their
children contract. The Inflammation
of the mucous membrane, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, disease that Is
seldom cured and that may prove a
life's burden. Many persons who have
this loathesome disease will remem-
ber having had frequent colds at the
time II was contracted. A little fore

all this trouble might have been avoid

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 20
Judge Robt. Rainey, chairman Of the

rendering financial assistance in the
campaign and saying that he is anX

Rumored u.5s DESTROYED.

Boston. Ct. 26.-Capt. W. d. Tu-
dor of the British steamship Hoch-
elaga. which arrived yesterday from
Louisburg said that before he left
Nova Scotia persistent rumors were
current that the German submarine
U.53 had been sunk off Nova Scotia
by the Canadian patrol boat Stanley.
He said he heard the rumor several
times. but was unable TO verify it.
Before we left Louisburg was
told by a shipping man that I need
not worry about the German subma-
rine." said Captain Tudor. This
man said the U-53 would not bother
any more vessels because she had
been sunk by the Stanley"
Captain Tudor said no mention was
made Of the fate of the submarines

Very rapidly the citizens of Okla
homa are making up their minds that
the day of freak legislation in this
great state has passed. From town
to town, a modest, unassuming man
has Travelled, and in his simple, di'
rect speech, appealed to the sober
reason of his auditors. =. a. Parkin'
son. republican candidate for state
corporation commissioner plays up
no fads, and sets off no rockets, tc
scare the stars by their flash and
glare. But those who hear him go
away impressed with the conviction
that in him is found that delicate bal
ance of fairness and honesty so neces'
sary for man elevated to the i'm
portant position he seeks.
The first question arising in the
hearers mind is this-can he be elect
ed? And before long the doubt is
lost in the determination that he must
be elected. For Oklahoma has more
natural undeveloped mineral resour'
ces than any state in the union, and
stretches forth her hands beseeching-
ly for daring spirits to come, that she
may unload her riches.
Whether OF not this invitation shall
be accepted depends upon the security
afforded the investor. by the state
Certain it is that those in authority
must not make the toll confscatory
The man who takes the risk wants to
pay what is fair and just, but every
officer OF the commonwealth must
greet him as a friend-not a foe.

zenship OF Oklahoma that he is a safe

friendly. A leading democrat testifie;

BE KIND TO ANIMALS WEEK.
Humane Sunday, May ri, Day Desig-
mated by American Humane
Association.

! Every week should be a BE Kind
to Animals Week" But as most
people are not keenly observant o
the kind of treatment given animals
the American Humane Association is
trying to concentrate attention on the
subject of Humane Sunday, May p,
and the week of May 1920 inclusive.
The great majority of people are
sympathetic with dumb life, only
they never stop to think what kind
of treatment dumb life gets. They
look with disapproval at the trade
mans boy beating his employer )
horse. But it never occurs to them
to complain to the police. In most
cases word to the owner of the ami
NAL would provide sufficient correc-
ton.
Pet animals usually get good care.
They are kept by people who enjoy
them and take pleasure in their COM
fort and happiness. But many work
ing animals are kept by persons who
naturally are not sympathetic with
their condition. The cheerful whin-
ny of Old Dobbin as they shove hay
down the manger, conveys no friend
ly message to them. If they can keep
him quiet with a half measure of hay
or woody old straw, they gladly do
it to save money.
But it is never any economy. \
working animal labors at a profit on
.ly when he feels we'll. A shortage
of fodder, and he is languid and spir-
itless. 1t is pitiful sight to see
some specimens of horseflesh that
are driven about the streets.
Most people walk down the bust
ness section of a town where horses
are tied here and there, and never
give a thought to the conditions un-
der which they are left. On hot days
many owners never stop to think
about seeking shade for the patient
beast. They are just as likely to tie
him on the sunny side. If insects
are abundant, they never think to
throw a net or a buster over him.
Prosecutions are not often necessary.
People are mostly thoughtless, and
need only to have their attention
called to conditions that produce dis
comfort in the speeches. and toiling
world of animal life.

Millinery Package Leaked.

In an Oelwein express Office one
day this week they were handling
a package marked millinery and
tossed it on the truck as the boys are
accustomed to handle light articles.
Soon the millinery CD package be-

was evidently some fire-water in it.
When opened to discover the damage
there was a cheap straw hat disclos-

PARIS GREEN OFF BUGS MENU.
High War Price Will Change Potato
Bug Diet to Lead Arsenate.

Lead arsenate, instead of paris
green, will be used to combat the
1916 crop of potato bugs, according
to the extension horticulturists at
Iowa State college. The war has
boosted the price of paris green from
25 to so cents pound, which makes
its use almost prohibitive. Lead ar
senate, on the other hand, is now
selling at % cents pound and will
probably remain at that price.
Altho paris green has heretofore
been almost universally used against
the potato bug and is preferred by
most growers on account of it's high
per cent of arsenic, yet lead arsen-
ate is just as effective in killing the
bug, altho it acts trifle more slowly.
1t has the added advantage of stick

Two Memorial Days in May.

We were sorry to see in recent
periodical a prediction, based on de-
creasing interest, that Memorial Day
would before many days cease to be
the day which its founders designed

orial Day, and the comparatively
new memorial day-Mothers' Day,
| founded to pay respect to the best
mother that ever lived, your own mo-
ther-are both days based on senti-
ment, and must be kept alive by sen
timent. We need such anniversaries
to keep alive the tender thoughts,
sacred memories, and thankful ap-
probation of those who have given
us life as well as country.

the beautiful custom of tribute to
mothers, is promoting it in business

to whom this day means much COM
mercially.
We are glad some of our holidays
do benefit the florists. In JOY and

flowers. The nature of the florists

suffer loss many times to serve us.

terests are more sure IF continual
observance than those backed by SEN
timent only. The development Of
sentiment, by responding to the ap-
peal to sentiment, is worth more TO
the people than the money is to the
florist. We need not use costly
flowers; the wild blossoms; the fruit
tree blooms, the early flowers from
our own garden, will express as much
love and remembrance as will the
exotics of the greenhouse; but we
should observe in some form these
days for the good they do to our
selves and to those who are to follow
us.
