Hog Cholera Protective Serum

Like during the previous year,
the N. D. State Serum Institute of
the Agricultural College and Ex-
pertinent Station will during the
coming season again be prepared
to- supply hog-cholera protective
serum to North Dakota swine rails
ers who may require it in dealing
with hog-cholera.
The funds available to the Serum
Institute not being sufficient to
meet even a small part of the de-
mands for serum. it was found nee
essary to resort to the borrowing of
money in order to face the situa-
ton arising from the occurrence Of
hog cholera in certain sections Of
the state. During the last two
years those funds We're supplied
through warrants issued by the
authorities in control of the Insti-
tuition. For the funds thus sup
piled a quantity of serum was
purchased to be issued to those in
need of it at cost of purchase.
To the serum bought is added such
serum as may have, from time to
time, accumulated as by-pro-
duet Of certain research work on
hog-cholera carried on by the Ex-
pertinent Station, as well as that
prepared by the State Serum In
stitute. For the serum thus added
to the general stock no charges are
made. The price of the serum thus
covers the price of purchase plus
the interest on the loan minus the
free serum added.
All serum is bought subject to
the Serum Institute s own test AMI
no mixed serum leaves the Tnsti-
tute until after is potency and free
dom from harmful factors is prov
en- by thorough test. The costs
of testing, storage, bottling and
packing are borne by the State
Serum Institute out of the funds
appropriated for its maintenance.
This plan was first put into OPP
Grafton the summer of 1914 and
has been followed since that time.
Necessarily the price of serum
will show some variations from
time to time, this being largely
dependent on the amount of serum
available for distribution, as we'll
as on the prevalence of hog-cholela
in the state.
The Institute has now ready for
shipment a considerable quantity
of hog-cholera serum which it can
send out at price of sixty (6O)
per one hundred cubic centimeters.
The erum is issued in bottles con.
tanning 500 c. c., 240 C. c. and 100
c. c., and OH stritcly cash or c.
o. D. basis. the price being always
marked on each bottle. 1t is ship
ped either by parcel post or ex-
press and orders will be taken care
of from s a. NJ. to 6 p. NJ, Sun
days excepted.

The Best Crops

An examination of the best
fields in any community brings ont
the fact that these best fields ar"
OH corn or potato ground. land that

or that has been MANFRED. With
the exception of the potatoes these
are livestock crops, showing that
the good grain crop comes in con-
nection with livestock farming and
this is especially true in the d,-
verse season when the crop counts
for the most. Livestock farming
is good good farming.

WHY SAVE FATS?

The national food administration urges tbr
American people to save animal fats to reduce
their consumption Of them by substituting some
thing else. 50 that the peoples Of our Allies NAV
have them. Immediately the query arises why
can the Europeans use substitutes as we'll as we
why should We give them up for their benefit?
No one around here being able to answer that
query, +. VI. kenney wrote the United States Food
Administration at Washington d. c.. and put if
up to It's officials The answer written bv Sarah
+ eld Spllnt of the home conservation division is.
THE point of the matter is this: Scientists
have found that all animal fats, especially milk
and butter. possess growth producing quality
lacked by the vegetable fats As YOU know the
civilian population as well as the soldiers of our
Allies have been put rations and therefore they
lack dozen and one avenues for getting fat in
their dietary which is not excluded from ours
We have always had our vegetables cooked in
butter SO that if had no butter at table our
health would not be in the slightest degree i'm
paired. AS matter Of fact if American adults
had no free fat whatever for long time to come
they would keep perfectly well because they are
getting fat in their meat, fish, milk soup, ETC.
But the people Of Europe with their normal diet
much cut down, must be sent the free fats such
as butter, lard and even the vegetable fats
though the latter lack the growth producing quail
tiles which have mentioned.
Even at that they will receive an infntesimal
portion in comparison with what we are using
The Food Administration has estimated that the
American people either use or waste two hundred
and forty per cent more fats than would be their
normal allowance. In the face of these facts it is
up to all of us adult Americans to conserve fats
to the last degree IT ShOuld he made vary o1oa,
however, in this connection that children should
be given all the milk they will drink, as we'll as
all the butter they will eat for children need the
fats contained in these foods for growth
So you see, they re right about it after ALL

HELP SAVE OUR BOYS.

The Red Cross Christmas drive is on and going
fast the goal of ten million members in the United
States by Christmas night is in sight, but it will
not be success here, all other cam
paigns have been, unless every and woman
and every child more than twelve years old in
Thurston county = every last one of us = unites
with the organization and helps in the noble work
it is doing.
War demands come heavy, campaigns are
numerous, the temptation to slacken just little
in our buying and our giving constantly thrusts
itself before us, and we apt to pass the burden
on to that mysterious person, "the other fellow,
unless our individual responsibility is deeply i'm
pressed upon us. But the work Of the Red Cross,
the most important auxiliary to the United States
participation in the war, should by now be so
familiar to us, that it ought not to be necessary
for solicitor to ask us to join-we ought to go
direct to headquarters and volunteer our men,
bership
Just by way Of information last Associa-
ton report shows that hundred million dollars
has been pledged for relief work since May tenth
last eightyfve millions of it collected and forty
millions appropriated for work in France. Other
foreign countries have been granted sums aggre-
eating seven millions more and some ten million
dollars has been advanced to the chapters
throughout this country for material, of which
more than seven and half millions is returnable.
Il i obvious that this original fund will last
only to late spring or early summer.
When the United States became involved in the
war last April, the Red Cross had ready and
modified promptly, six base hospital units with
twenty-five surgeons and physicians, two den
tists sixty-fve nurses, and hundred and fifty
two men of the reserve corps in each unit. Now
forty-nine base hospitals are organized, twelve
base hospital units are in France and forty-fve
ambulance companies, each Of hundred and
twenty -four men, have also been trained and put
into the service, three thousand nurses are en-
rolled IN active service, two thousand Of whom
are abroad. fourteen thousand more are on the
waiting list and others are signing M at the rate
81 thousand month. Thirteen million separate
articles " surgical dressings and clothes have
been sent to the hospitals at the front in the past
seven months, and other large shipments Of such
materials have been sent to the camps and canton
ments Of the United States
Such glorious work is possible only through
ne enthusiasm Of the members Of the Red Cross

MERRY, lnRRY cHRIsrlGAst

These days and times, with the world in the
throes Of great struggle with the forces Of lib
erty, justice and equality valiantly fighting to
overcome the depredations of arrogant autocracy,
with hundreds Of thousands Of our young men
ssovef there, hundreds Of thosuands more Of
them here getting ready to 60, and millions more
awaiting the call to duty-these days and times
are certainly those when Christmas, when the
birthday Of Him who first brought '1peace and
good will to men,, who first laid the broad prin-
ciples Of justice and brotherly love upon which
the world eventually will be built, becomes of
the greatest significance
We are not apt to think so-we are apt to think
OF these as expressing times, if we think at all
and then in the narrow, personal way in which
most Of us order our lives and views Of things.
But when we shut our eyes to our own part in
the immediate present, when we scan the worlds
history for the last generation or two grasp the
meaning of all that which is happening today and
lift aside the veil of the future and see world
regenerated and humanity. the rights of peoples,
dominant, then will we more clearly realize how
closely parallel to the revolutionizing influences
Of Him whose nativity we celebrate next Tues
day, are the events which are taking place today
Visualize it in it's broadest aspects, remember
the sacrifice that He made for a better world, and
then picture the joy Of the resurrection that is to
come from the worlds present agony, and you,
too, viii join with heart and soul in Wishing all

FIGHTING OUT THE TRUTH.

Congress, if it proceeds with an earnestness
which seeks only for the truth and leaves the
whitewash brush out in the woodshed along with
all political colorings, is certainly on the right
track when it investigates the methods through
which the United States is playing it's part in the
world war. Mistakes undoubtedly have been
made and more are to come, for even our officials,
military and civil are but human after all. Hind
sight, likewise, is inevitably better than foresight
All such things must be considered.
But we should know, as much as is compatible
with the success of our strictly military opera
tons, just what has been going on, how the money
has been spent and why, and all the rest of it.
Else ugly rumors are apt to arise blame be put
where 1t does not belong some untoward happen
ing perhaps brought about for which the true cir
cumstances would hold no need
Furthermore if there any incompetents,
any grafters, any fizzlers in the crowd anywhere,
the quicker we know it, the better

MAKING A NAME FOR OLYMPIA.

. II Olympia had selfshly sought to advertise
itself throughout the land and had deliberately
set about on plan to do it, with only it's Owl adj
vantage in mind, it could not have hit uren
better way of doing it than by entertaining the
visiting soldiers from Camp Lewis as Hospitality
and generously as it has done. But the beauty
about that entertainment, the feature of it which
has pleased those boys greatly that every one
OF them who has been here has good word for
the city, is that Oympians have been entirely
unselfish in their generosity, have opened up
their homes their dinners, their social diversions
solely to give those boys good time, without
even a hint of seeking to hold them up, to graft
of OF them or to impose upon them in any one of
the many ways it might have been DONE
The result is that praise of Olympia has gone
back to the homes, scattered throughout these
broad United States from California to Maine,
and even into Canada and England, from which
those boys came. To them and so to their par
ents and friends the name Olympia means real
hospitality and that is the farest name city can
gain.

II You Could.

We cannot look into the mind OF
anyone and unerringly see the mo-
tive which impels him to action. He
knows his motive, and the overruling
mind of the universe knows the mo-
tive, that underlies every act.
The wrong judgment OF people does
more harm, causes more sufferlng'
than anything else in the world.
It Is like scattering small, feathery
seed in a cyclone wind. When the
fury has lulled, can you go over the
storm track and gather up the seed?
Can you give back the good name you
have destroyed or furnished? Would
you do it if you could?
