TO BE GREAT REUNION

Regarding the reunion. Colonel Her bert said: Washington was enthusias- tic over the visit of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1912 and every daughter was captivatad. The preparations for the reception of the veterans are far more elaborate the outpouring are far more elaborate immense and I venture the assertion that every veteran who goes will look upon this reunion for the remainder of his life as by far the most successful and useful of all the reunions of the United Confederate Veterans.
 q hope the patriotic people of Bir- mingham will see to it that no veteran shall lack the small sum needed under the low rates granted by the railroads to pay his fare to go. The city of Washington and the people there will see that none of the veterans while there shall want for anything"

NOMOREATTR BRANCH OF SERVICE
 THAN MARINE CORPS
Local Recruiting Officer Tells of Adventures Of fered to the Nations
 SOldier-SailOrs

"The nations call for additional men for the marine corps. sailors and sol diers, too, who for 40 years have slung ships of war, and afloat and ashore have won imperishable fame for gallant service, should be well answered in local circles" said Limuel F. Hill, sergeant in charge of the marine torps recruiting office here.
 Ever ready and ever loyal, the ma rines have proved to be in every war of the republic. glorious history dating back to 1775 and fervent esprit de corps mark this as one of the dis tinguished fighting organizations of the world The smartness of dress and drill of these sailor soldiers has always been the same, on shore parades, going over the side to the relief of imperiled Amer jeans in the Orient or landing with car fridge belts full to storm the snipers out of a hard-beset town in the Caribbean
 MAN PART OF GUNS
 "On board ship the marines man a part of the battery guns. When there is landing work to do their bayonets lead the battalions. Though their drill grounds are often reeling decks, the ma- rines march with the precision of royal guardsmen, and their uniforms, with the golden globe on their caps and the bright yellow chevrins and red /trouser stripes are indeed brilliant
 Wherever our naval pennants fly the marines go with them, around the globe. They are the sentinels of all our navy yards and naval stations.
 "On each coast a large advance base force is maintained ready for any call anywhere overseas. Never did any serv- ice offer a spirited American lad finer chance to serve his country. Uncle Sam's marines in blue or white or khaki are conspicuous among the thousand-crew of every battleship. They watch the Att lantic and Pacific seaboard. They have pacified Nicaragua, have brought law and order to Santo Domingo, are serving as officers of the Haitian gendarmerie, which they organized, and distinguished themselves at Vera Cruz.
 'They are flying aeroplanes at naval aeronautical stations They hold for Un- cle Sam his remotest stations in the Philippine and Hawaiian Islands, and summer and winter keep circle of steel around the legation in Picking. China.
 SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE
 "Wherever the marine bugles blow and their colors show, land or sea, there will be found the spirit of youthful ad- venture finely tempered by the traditions of the century old discipline As the corps emblem suggests the whole round world is their scene of action They are of all our men-at-arms ,distinctively Un- cle Sam's ready men. his handy men; the first to be sent for wherever there is trouble overseas, prepared to fight alike In steel turrets or on open decks over hot sand beaches. in black jungles, ever alert to the clear notes of their duty calls.
 When in doubt as to where they can best serve their flag and country, let young men, stout of heart and stout of body, call at the marine corps recruiting station at 19291a Second avenue. The corps demands and deserves it's share of the first manhood of America"

BABY WEEK ID BE
 OBSERVED HERE: President Ward Issues Proc lamation Naming May 1
 to 6 as the Dates

President George B. Ward of the city commission, is getting to be somewhat Of a proclaimer-in fact, he will proc lan1ate every time he is called upon tc preclamate-as one can see just as wei for himself from the following:
 BABY WEEK PROCLAMATION
 In this time, when the attention of the western hemisphere has been so forcibly riveted to the matter of con- serving and co-ordinatng the re- sources of civilization, the question of throwing the proper safeguard about the sensitive lives of Americas babies should command the closest interest and study of all intelligent people
 The Alabama Federation of Wom- ems clubs in conjunction with the Women's Clubs of America, has set aside the week of May to as Baby Week. During this period a cam paign will be conducted with the two fold idea of giving the mothers and fathers of the community the oppor- tunity of learning the most important facts with regard to the baby and to drive home to the community knowledge of the facts regarding the needless deaths of it's babies.
 In support of this thought and in cooperation with this most vital pro- gramme, the city commission of Bir- mingham hereby proclaims the week of May 1 to as Baby Week in Bir- nlingham and urges all thoughtful persons to link up their efforts with those of the Fedora ton of Womeh's clubs in making widespread the ef- fects of this propaganda.

CADDOCK TO
MEET STECKER
Caddock Who Wrestled at Fair In
Audubon Last Year to Meet
Nebraska Man For Worlds
ChamDiOnshiD

Joe Stecher, who recently came
back after an attack of neuritis by de-
feating Charlie Peters at Omaha last
week has been matched to grapple
the latest of wrestling phenoms, Earl
Caddock af Anita who is picked by
Frank Gotch as the winner
The Stecher-Caddock match has
been in the making for some months.
After winning the amateur champion
ship of the United States, Caddock
blossomed out as a full-fledged pro-
fessional couple of years ago,and
the pro ranks began to sweep through
the thin air. He threw all his OPP
ponents with the exception of handi-
cap match or so in which he merely
failed to throw his foe in the required
time limit, and he has never had
his shoulders touched to the mat
since his start.
Caddock is lighter than Stecher,
Earl will probably weigh around 100
pounds. But he is fast as lightning
is keen student of wrestling and
has been called "the wrestler with a
thousand holds"
Since last fall Malady has been
angling for this Stecher-Caddock
match. Stechers illness temporarily
stopped the negotiations, but when
Joe returned to form and threw
Peters recently he agreed to take
| Caddock on.
Articles will be signed as soon as
the date is agreed Upon. April is the
month-before Nebraska goes into
the dry column-and April 16 will
in all proba bility be the day.

FARMERS ANXIOUS
TO STOP CHOLERA
Open Meeting Last Friday at Which
Steps to Prevent COlera Was
Discussed

A large and enthusiastic gathering
of the farmers and stock raisers of
Audubon county was held in this city
last Friday afternoon. DR.. II. II.
Fairbanks, United States Veterinary
Inspector. who is sent out by the
government, has been organizing the
farmers of the county into perman-
ent organization which has for its
purpose the stamping out of hog
cholera. When the meeting opened
he made a good talk along the lines
which he declared would ultimately
mean no loss of hogs by cholera to
the farmers.
He called on George Foley, the
chairman of the Audubon County In
dustry Association to preside over
the meeting. DR.. ]. s. Koen the In
spector in charge in Iowa was present
and made talk on Hog Cholera and
Organization.
The government ascending out these
men to assist the farmers of the
country to fight hog cholera which
is costing the farmers of the United
States a loss of sixty to seventy-five
millions of dollars each year The
government knowing that every hog
raiser contributes to this enormous
lose, has launched a successful cam
paign for the complete prevention of
cholera.
Reports of hog cholera near Ham,
lin and other localities have been in
vestigated and the specialists are
doing everything in their power to
stamp out the disease. They must,
however, have the united support of
the farmers of the county in order to
accomplish their purpose. From the
expression of those present Friday,
there seemed no doubt but that
farmers in every section of the coun-
ity were ready to cooperate with
them.
The new organization has for its
chairman. Geo. A. Foley and secre-
tary, l.. ]. Andersen. Directors in
each of the townships are:
