Don't take chance with a sick hog.
Act quickly. Get a veterinarian or a
trained man Immediately. Don't wait
single hour when you suspect disease
in your herd Use the telephone or
send to town at once. Only prompt ac-
ton will stop hOg-cholera losses. Every
| hog saved will help win the war.
This is the message of tremendous
Importance which the United States de-
partment Of agriculture is carrying to
farmers, not only in the great hog belt
Included in Iowa, missouri and Illi-
no1s, and nearby states, which produce
"a per cent Of the hog output of the
United States, but also to farmers Of
the South where in several states in
1916 hog losses due to cholera rose to
two or three times the average losses
for the country. Hog losses in 1915 by
disease rose to 40 per 1000 in ArKan-
sas, 1O5 in Louisiana, 100 in Florida, 80
In Georgia, rs in Tennessee, 70 in
Alabama, and Is in Mississippi, against
an average Of 48 per 1000 for the en-
tire country. At least 80 per cent of
these losses were attributed TO hog
cholera.
Serum Is Efficacious.
The time for argument about anti
hog-cholera serum is past. declare the
specialists Of the bureau Of animal in
dustry, United States department Of
agriculture. Explicit figures are readily
available which prove Enthusiastically
that, when administered in time by
competent persons, hog-cholera serum
Will keep we'll hogs from taking the
disease for a period Of three to six
weeks. Not argument but quick &C
ton is imperative to get serum and a
trained operator to the farm to treat
the hogs. Hogs will be saved and the
nations meat supply increased if every
farmer will Immediately upon sign of
disease call in the nearest available ex-
pert to diagnose the complaint and ad-
minister whatever treatment is neces-
sary.
The department Of agriculture is
urging that all state, county and local
live stock interests, including state vet
erinarianS, live stock boards, state col
lege workers, county agents and local
veterinarians, begin Immediately to Or
ganiZe antihog- cholera preparedness
campaigns to reach every farmer in
every county. Such an organization al
ready exists In many places. Where
it does not there is need of special
and immediate action before the hot
weather conditions favorable to hog
cholera come on.
Business Men Can Help.
Bankers and other business men can
aid in, the work Of informing farmers
where they can get expert help imme-
diately when they suspect cholera in
their herds. Lists of accredited per-
sons competent to diagnose cholera
and administer serum, together with
their addresses and telephone numbers,
should be furnished to each farmer in
the county, with the appeal that he call
for help at once in case of need. Bust
ness men may also arrange through
the local veterinary authorities or
county agents to buy serum at the
nearest state serum plant, private
plant or serum depot and hold it in
reserve for emergency use. State and

TEXAS FEVER HURTS CATTLE
Ticks Can .Remain on other Animals
Without Producing Disease
Not Susceptible.

The reason that Texas-fever ticks
can remain on animals other than cat
file without producing the disease is
hecause these animals are not suscep-
+ih1e to Texas fever. Numerous ex=
neriments have shown that only bo-
vines (cattle) contract the Texas fe-
YER. so it is not difficult to understand
whv other hosts can be infected with
impunity.

RAPS ECONOMY" MOVE
Trade Paper Declares Il Is Part OF
"HysterIa" Sweeping Country.


The economy" movement started by
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and wives of
President Wilson's Cabinet is a good
example OF the "hysteria' now sweep
ing the country, according to the cur
rent issue OF the Dry Goods Econo-
mist.
Doubtless the ladies mean well"
the Economist says. What their
good intention really amounts. to is
plan for throwing thousands out of
work. Were II to receive general
adoption, manufacturers and mer-
chants, factory hands and store en-
ployes throughout the country would
suffer, while such benefit as might
accrue would be infinitesimal In COM
parison."
The Economist advises against ex-
citement or hysteria by business men.
1t recommends the most careful selec-
tion OF men for the army so as not to
seriously hamper the country's pro-
ductive facilities. 1t urges co-opsra-
ton among retailers to keep produc-
ton and distribution normal and to
adopt no suggestions along the lines

sands OF people who attend the play
grounds regularly who would be OF
great help and 1t will be our object tU
see that they learn the work. We
will have efficiency examinations
and contests to stimulate interest"
Clubs now organized on the play
grounds will be given Red Cross
work as part of their duties.
Even the youngest children can
be useful" said Mrs. Rhodes. "They
can be taught to make bandages
easily"

Members of the Ways and Means
Committee. 1t Is learned, are afraid
Congress may go too far IN boosting
the existing rates OF the excess profits

to tax the annual earnings of corpora
tions and partnerships, without refer
ence to capitalization and so-called ex.
cess profits.

cussion OF possible direct taxes on

Members OF the Ways and Means

It IL understood that some members
OF the Ways and Means Committee be-

Prelate to Attend Meetingi in Rich
mond Next Sunday;

Richmond, March 15.-One of the
most interesting and impressive fea-
lures OF the public meeting in the
Seventh Street Christian church Sun
day at $50 p. m. is the fact that the
Masons of Richmond and the Right
Rev. Bishop O'Connell will take a
prominent part. When Bishop O'Con-
nell cordially accepted the invitation
to give one of the addresses on the
Worlds Court league, he knew that
a large section of the church was re-
served for the Masons, and that while
y is not Masonic occasion" but
a general public meeting to which
all are invited, that the Most Wor-
shipful Past Grand Master Eggleston
would preside, and he was assured
that one of the foremost leaders OF
The Masons had suggested that he be
invited to give an address and that
The Masonic brethren would be dc
lighted if he would do so.
1t is a unique occasion and will
have a great influence in developing
The 'good-will" which is the Chris
Ian basis of peace in the nation and
and among the nations.
Rev. DR.. G.. w. Mcdaniel, who
is not Mason, and Past District
Deputy Grand Master James have
also promised to speak.
Other speakers and the special
music features will be announced
later. The public is invited.
