State Road Not Located Yet
tThc Grecnyillc SUM

II it tittHNtIit SUM-
A delegation of about 20 citizens
from the north, east, south and cen
tral portions of Wayne county went
TO Jefferson City last week to lay their
claims for central location Of the
State Road through Wayne county De-
fore the State Highway Commission,
which was in session at the capital
city.
The Highway Commission received
the Wayne county delegation a, -
o'clock Friday morning when the
matter Of the location Of a north and
south State Road through this county
was gone over in detail.
There has been persistant effort
made by certain individuals to spread
the impression over the county that
the north and south State Road through
Wayne county has already been To-
Gated along what is known as the
western route. This is not true. The
State Road through this county has
not been located any where yet,
State Highway Engineer Graham has
recommended the location OF the
State Road as far south as Pied
mont. but his recommendation has
not been approved by the State High
way Com mission. So far AS the road
south of Piedmont is concerned there
has not been any recommendation
made to the Commission by the High.
way Engineer, we understand.
The chairman of the Commission
told the Wayne county delegation
that the whole matter Of the location
of the State Road through this county
would be ironed OUT thoroughly and
that every factor in the matter would
be fully considered before the road
is finally located.
A full and complete investigation is
what the citizens Of the north, east,
south and central portions, compris.
ing seven out of the ten townships in
the county are asking for. They,
know that Highway Engineer Graham
did not make full and complete in
vestigation of the matter when he
visited this county, so they appealed
to the Highway Commission.
Now that the facts have been laid
before the members of the Commis.
sion, we believe that they will do
what is right in the matter.

The Wheat Price Explained.

Although there has been much said
by way Of explaining the government
price Of wheat, many people are still
asking for information ON the subject,
and this is not at all strange, for the
problem Of price fixing by the gov
ernment is entirely new to our coun-
try.
The price now 10 1920 at Chicago
for No. wheat Of the differen,
varieties. This price was determined
by committee oitwelve selected by
the president, the membership Of the
committee being composed Of two
prominent economists, two repre-
sentatives Of organized labor, two
representatives Of big business, two
presidents Of state agricultural col.
ieges, three representatives Of or.
ganizsd agriculture and one individual
farmer. There were on the com mittee
four men actually engaged In farm :

The price Of 1920 for No. ! wheat at
Chicsgo IL : ixed price for the 1917
crop and will not be changed before
July 4, 1918. The government will
buy all wheat offered at that price,
provided there are no other buyers
who win pay % much, but will not
permit any buyer 70 pay more. 20

control Congress placed a minimum
guaranteed price Oh the 1918 wheat
crop. This minimum, below which
the price can not 60, is 500, but is
based on. "the principal interior
market" and not on Chicago alone,
which means that the price can not
be below $500 at any one of these
principal primary markets." such as
Minneapolis, Omaha, Kansas City,
etc.
The price of $500 is only minimum
guarantee. 1T will become effective
July /, 17lS, and continued in effect
until May /, 1913. 1t will not be
changed or withdrawn. 1t ia not a
rule Of the Food Administration, but
all act of Congress. No matter how
large the crop raised next year may
be, it there are not other buyers for
the wheat who will offer So 90. the
government must take it at that
price. On the other hand, ii costs of
production increase or there is light
yield, or if for any other reason the
costs of production are unduly high or
the demand is urgent, the price may
be above $500 as it is now.
The present price Of 50 90 is fixed
price that will not be changed in any
way until July l, 1918. The 50 90 price
for next year is only n minimum.
The actual price for next year can not
be less than that, but it may be $500
or more.

Hog cholera is disease spread by
bacteria much like typhoid or small
pox. An animal suffering from cholera
does not always show the same
symptoms. In the past this has caus-
ed some confusion in that veterin-
arans gave different names to the
same disease. Since hogs have very
few other diseases, II is usually safe
to assume that a sick hog Is suffering
from cholera.
There are very few il any cures for
cholera. Placing sick hogs in clean
pen with no food and clean drink
ing water is probably as good treat
ment as can be given. But there is q
sure preventative. A well hog treat.
ed with serum will not take the
cholera. The serum Is injected into
the animal in much the same manner

Serum can be given by the owner but

save for the serum.

counties was very much surprised
at the number Of hogs that were dying

magazine last night and it almost
made me homesick.
FRED +. Dixie,
Battery E, 10th Field Artillery,
Douglas, Arizona.

PLArrsBuRG, N. Y, Oct. ID. 1917.
Editor Register 1T seems to me
that the army could easily be COM
pared with a game of checkers, for
moving seems to constitute half of
the game. especially with the 10th
Regiment Of Field Artillery.
The 10th Regiment has been divid-
ed, and Battalion has been sent to
each of the following officers training
camps:
Fort Smelling, Fort Niagara, Fort
Shendan and Plattsburg. At these
places we take up tire task OF making
officers for the Artillery.
A field athletic contest was held on
the Plattsburg parade grounds, be-
tween the New England and New
York companies Of candidate officers,
Saturday, October 18th, and among
the events was Field Artillery race,
and Of course, it was rather amusing.
The contest was among five batteries,
representing each battery was two
field pieces drawn by six horses each.
The object Of the contest was to find
out which battery could harness, sad
die and hitch the IL horses, cross the
Geld, set guns, Are three shots, con-
meet carriages, and return first. As u
matter of fact about half OF the men
became excited, and tho ones that
were being depended upon for the
best showing had not yet started
across the leld when the winn ners re-.
turned.
Government statistics show that IT
takes ten months of intensive training
to make an artilleryman. But an ar.
tillsry officer can be made in three
months, thatis, they are In the making
now, and expect to be completed
within six weeks more.
Americas famous cartoonist, Bud
Fisher, also Robert Warwick and Jay
Gould, are attending officers train
