IT'S CHEAP INSURANCE
All Farmers Should Have Their Hogs
Vaccinated Against Cholera.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. S.-Vaccina-
ton is cheap insurance against hog,
cholera in view of the present high
prices of pork. according to DR.. C. w.
Hobbs, field veterinarian and director
of the serum laboratory of the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
The exact health condition of the
hogs or pigs should be ascertained be-
fore treatment. The herd should be
penned in a clean and disinfected eIf-
closure the day before they are treat
ed. This allows the herd to become
reccnciled to the new surroundings
One may then take temperatures and
come to some definite conclusions as
to the condition and health of the
pigs. '~
Swine that are penned and pre-
Pared for immediate treatment will
show abnormal temperature and thus
render it impossible for the veterinar-
ian to give an accurate statement as to
their exact condition.
The operator should be required to
take the temperature of each individ-
ua1 before administering the serum or
virus. and if any of the animals show
an abnormal temperature, they should
be given only the serum and be iso-
lated for investigation. All those
showing normal temperatures may be
given the simultaneous treatment
Those who are isolated may be given
the serum and virus after they regain
normal condition.

Springfield that night and promising
the return of the child.
Concealing his plans from the police
Keet did as directed but the abductors
failed to appear
Friends Spoiled Plans.
A second note was received on June
l. Keet's friends had been too solicit
tous in- following him on the night of
May 81. the note explained, adding
that if he would bring several thou
sand dollars additional as a penalty
for the action of his friends the baby
would be returned the following
night, but the abductors again failed
to appear.
A few days later all of the accused
with the exception of Dick Carter
were arrested. On June 9 the body of
the child was found in an abandoned
we'll on a farm eight miles southwest
of Springfield. Fearing for the safety
of his prisoners Sheriff Webb spirited
them out of town before announcing
that the child's body had been found
Chased by Posse. 80
On learning the prisoners were tax
en- from town the posse gave chase
overtaking the officials and the ac-
cused shortly before midnight near
Stockton. The posse demanded the
prisoners. After exacting a promise
from the posse that the lives of the
suspects would be spared Sheriff
Webb surrendered them.
PiersOl was questioned by members
of the posse but refused to make a
statement. A rope was tied about his
neck and even tho his body was re-
peatedly swung from the ground he re-
fused to talk All of the accused were
then returned 70 the officials. At the
preliminary trial in August Carter
PiersoI and Cletns Adams were denied
bail after DIR. Harvey Fullbright testi-
fled the body had died either from
drugs or suffocation before being
thrown in the we'll
The cases ordinarily would have
been tried before Judge johnson, but
because of his activity in the search
for the child, he was disqualified.

AERO ARMY next
Germany, Beaten on Earth and
Sea, Devises New Plan.
Great Fleet of Super-Type Fly
ing Machines Under Way.

London. Oct. s.-"If the allies are
not prepared to anticipate the new
menace of Germany's aerial plans, the
enemy may drag from the air Ger
man peace that neither the land nor
the sea would yield to them" warned
the Daily Express, in an article today.
The Express featured a dispatch from
William G. Shepherd, United Press
staff correspondent at Stockholm, sent
to the United Press last week detailing
reports of Germany's concentrated eff
forts to build great fleet of super
type flying machines.
The German armies are being
rudely blown off the earth by British
guns in Flanders" the newspaper de-
cared. the future of civilization may
hang in the air"
The Shepherd dispatch mentioned
above was printed by United Press
newspapers Sunday morning. 1t de-
tailed trustworthy reports from Ger
man sources that Germany was tend
ing to move her army from off the
earth into the air and warned that
America and the allies must begin at
once to develop a great aerial army
of unprecedentedly powerful planes
shepherd reported that Germany had
already produced great Gotha planes
propelled at tremendous speed by four
260-horse power motors and carrying
a crew of four or five men, with fuel
for ten hour flights.

Morning Grain Gossip.
FURNISHED by the Topeka Board of Trade

Chicago, Oct. S.-The Herald says: Gov
today at rs p. m, Chicago time. Esti-
mates on the corn crop are expected to be
about 20 million bushels less than last
month when the figures were 3,24S million.
The loss was due to frost over the northern
part of the leading corn states and in the
northwest early in September. The crop
last year was 2.5S3 million bushels. Esti-
mates of oats 615 million bushels and will
compare with 1888 million bushels last
month and 1, 232 million bushels last year.
The action of the corn market Saturday
in weakening in the face of killing frost
in Iowa and general frost in northern Hi
nois, which undoubtedly injured the late
corn was regarded as indicating a tired
market and many traders are disposed to
look for further decline. This created an
increased call for bids good this week. n
dragging tendency of the trade is also re-
garded as depressing influence.
Local bears were more aggressive and
few of them had liberal lines out at the
close All await the meeting of October IL
to consider the removal of the maximum
price.
Oats specialists thought they saw evil
dence of seaboard holders buying December
and selling May Saturday. The spread
widened to 2Ac at one time which was held
at the close. Cash premiums are weaken
ing and the seaboard showed no disposition
to do business. The car situation in the
east and delayed arrival of ocean tonnage
has created a badly congested condition
there which is against new business for
the time being.

CONSERVING MEN NOW
FlanderS's Defeat Indicates Germany
Has Abandoned Counter Attacks.

New York, Oct. S.-America's COL
ossal war preparations are already
contributing to the success of Sir
Douglas Haig's rapid blows on the
Flanders front.
To preserve every available man to
meet Americas forthcoming often
sive, the Germans have abandoned the
system of communicating.
For the first time since the present
method of trans-fighting began, the
Germans are refusing to come back.
Once a position has been lost it is
written off the books of the general
staff. The whole German strength is
being concentrated upon purely de-
fensive measures.
The kaiser is realizing that he can
not recklessly throw away his sol
diers in Fla lders this autumn and at
the same time expect to maintain a
serious defense next spring against
the American army to be concentrat-
ed along some other part of the west
ern front.
Every major and minor question of
tactics and Strategy henceforth to be
considered by the German general
staff will have this question as it's
basis and consideration: Will there
be enough men left to face the Ameri-
cans?
