Used Same Shoes II Years.

Using one pair of shoes for II years
without repairs Mrs. Nathan Messick
of Georgetown, Del, declares she has
the oldest pair of shoes in continued
use in the country.
Seventeen years ago she purchased
the shoes from William G. Bryan, who
kept a crossroads store between
Georgetown and Laurel. Since that
time Mrs. Messick can recall few Sun
days when she has not worn them,
which means their employment for S94
days, or nearly two years and a half
OF solid use.
Mrs. Messick prizes the shoes highly
and from appearances declares they
will last her five or six years more.

When kits Are Dangerous.

A Scotch Highlander in the Walker
hospital, Fraserburgh, states that al
the battle of Loos his regiment and
several others of the Scottish division
advanced to the attack with practi'
cally nothing on them except thelt
shirts. The reason for so doing was
that, in getting to the Germans wire
entanglements, their kits were torn To
pieces, and impeded their progress.
Another military patient at the nos
pital was one of the twelve men
blown into a dug-out by a shell eA
plosioR. The roof collapsed and ell
tombed them. and they lay there IN
conscious for seven hours before their
comrades could effect their rescue.

Do you own government bond?
If you have the price of one, it is your
patriotic duty to own one or more;
furthermore, you are amply protected
in the investment. Your money is
safe. Every assistance rendered our
government in this war will mean the
earlier return of our soldier boys to
their homes and peace. Every word
or act against the government means
just that much longer service for them
on the firing line; every moment there
means the loss Of so many lives. Be
careful to do and say only things that
help, as you value the lives of the
brave boys we are sending out to fight
our fight. Keep these points in your
mind.

TO CHECK BLACKLEC.
Proclamation Issued, Requires
the Vaccination of Cattle.

Governor Alexander this week sent
out the following proclamation to the
various state veterinarians, relative to
the vaccination of cattle for blackleg:
"Whereas, l have been advised by
DR.. H. G. Bodle, state veterinarian,
that the disease commonly known as
blackleg is prevalent in certain sec
tions of the state, and | believe it is
the duty, in accordance with the ma
tional policy of food conservation, of
every breeder and owner of cattle to
vaccinate with blackleg vaccine as
preventive.
Nov, therefore, l Moses Alexan-
der, governor of the state of Idaho, do
hereby order that every owner of cat
tie in Idaho shall vaccinate between
October Is, 1917 and December l,
1917, all young cattle from three
months to one and one-half years Of
age, inclusive.
"Any vaccine or pellets which are
recognized by the United States bu-
reau Of animal industry may be used
in complying with this order.
SECTIONS of the state where the dis
ease is prevalent, and the owner does
not voluntarily comply with this or
der will be rigidly quarantined and
all young cattle vaccinated under the
supervision of the state veterinarian,
at the expense of the owner"
four local veterinarian, DR.. Nc
Keen Boyce, desires in this manner to
notify the stockmen of this section
that he is prepared to vaccinate their
cattle with the best germ-free vaccine
made, and at reasonable cost.
