ANTHRAX LOSSES IN SOUTH DA
KOTA

The farmers of South Dakota are
loosing thousands of dollars worth of
stock every year, principally cattle and
sheep, by the disease known as an
thrax. The loss for the nation is esti-
mated at a million and a half dollars
annually. This disease is durable by
but the most effective method of deal
ing with anthrax is one which every
farmer ought to use IN order to insure
his stock, and that is, prevention. The
preventive measures recommended are
ID protecting individual animals by
vaccination and (2) Immediately burn
ing or deeply burying the cas of
animals that have died of the disease.
Animals running upon low, moist,
pasture land contract the disease at
certain seasons of the year and as the
first preventive measure good fences
should be built around them.
The use of the government vaccine
and serum is recommended above all
other because: the animal is rendered
immune almost Immediately following
vaccination: only one handling is re-
CURED; the losses are reduced to prac-
tically nothing; the vaccine will remain
potent for a long time; and will resist
conditions which would destroy other
forms Of vaccine. BY addressing the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Bureau of Animal Industry. Wash
ington, D. c., full information and
directions may be secured.
The symptoms of anthrax in the
early stages are characterized by high
fever, rapid pulse. and labored breath
ing. In the most common form Of dis.
ease there are also local external
swellings or tumors. You cannot at
tack this disease too soon nor with too
much vigor when once the little germ
begins it's destructive work.

we had a school parade and it was A
town filler, there never was such a
crowd at the county seat"
On n night of the fair in this same
county a musical contest was given,
judged by a prominent musician in
the state. Entries were made IN VIC
lin, piano, orchestra and school Choir
uses, and a great deal of interest was
shown. In fact. school children train
ed months in advance for the contest
while private music teachers were kept
busy getting their pupils ready for the
event. School chOruses from all
neighbOring towns entered the contest.
On the last day of the Nowata fair a
series of athletic games was arranged
for the school children of all the near.
by counties which aroused a great
deal of interest.
Other Contests
The Richland county fair, Wahpeton,
n. d., offers a prize to the town which
brings in the greatest number of auto
mobiles in an unbroken line. In last
years contest, according to secretary
b. F. Lounsbury, lat automobiles were
lined up from a single town, with the
help of the country adjacent, and there
were from four to six occupants in
each car.
The Crawfordville, Ind, fair con-
Quoted pig club feeding contests by
townships and also domestic science
club contests by townships.
The fair at Escanaba. Mich, con-
ducts a contest for selling season tick
cts.
The county fair at Blue Earth, Mimi.
has erected a farmers club building
on the fair grounds in which is con-
Quoted each year the farmers club
contest. Each club has a booth Sx12
feet in which are displayed farm and
home exhibits. Prizes are. offered on
all booths with a special trophy cup
for the club winning the most prem
iums in all departments of the fair.
The fair at Zumbrota, Mimi, offers
prizes for competitive farm displays
by townships, similar to the county
contest of the state fair.
In conclusion, nearly all secretaries
agree that the best advertisement is to
put on a real fair, and that the educa-
tional and exhibit features are of prime
Importance.
AS to entertainment, people enjoy
themselves most when they are helping
to entertain themselves. There was
no unity of replies as to the value of
horse races, doubtless because some
horse races are good while others are
not, depending upon local interest.
Many secretaries believe in spending
considerable money on one special at
traction is a big advertising feature.
In any event the success of adver-
Using the fair hangs upon whether or
not it is conducted as a business and
educational proposition IN which all
are compelled to take/an interest on
account of its merits.

story of present-day motorcar thrift
that is national in its significance.
These kilograms gave the report of
the National Efficiency Demonstra-
tion, conducted by Franklin dealers
in practically every section of the
country, and recorded a grand aver
age of 40.3 miles on single gallon
of gasoline. Most notable among the
runs was the one at New Haven,
Conn. where Cowles Tolman estab-
lished a new worlds record for a
stock car by running s2.S miles on
one gallon of gasoline. Detroit reg
istered second, with a record of 71.6
miles; Akron. third, with 69.4 miles;
and Meriden. Conn, fourth, with 69.3
miles,
Eighty-six of the 179 entrants had
individual averages of better than 40
miles. There were nineteen Frank
lin cars which did between so and sc
miles on a gallon. and even such an

at the same point as that from which
the start was made.
All preparations, such as measuring
the one gallon of commercial gaso-
line. inspection of the separate gaso-
line container and connections, talk
ing readings of the speedometer and
checking the car to see that it con-
formed to the standard type, were
conducted by two official observers.
Before the start of the test, the en-
gine was run until all the gasoline
in the carburetor was exhausted,
after which the single gallon supply
for the test was added. This latter
operation was one that in many oc-
casions called for word of caution

might remark. lit only takes a drop

the correctness of the result. No
professional contest drivers took part
in the demonstration.
Realizing the wide public interest
In the efficient operation of motor
cars at this time. Franklin dealers
settled on this gasoline mileage test
for the purpose of establishing a
standard by which the efficiency, or
thrift, of the Franklin car can be
sauged. The chief aim of the Frank
lin demonstration is to furnish a sim
pie and equitable basis of comparison
between one car and another. mas
much as the procedure of the test can
readily be followed in all cases, what
ever the type of car. Scientific men
very generally accept gasoline econ
omy as measure of motorcar eff
cheney. on the. pr3aciple that anything
that affects He proper running of a
car eventually shows up in gasoline
consumption. 1t has long been the
belief of Franklin engineers that the

of the car.
When the tip,e for the Franklin
demonstration, Friday. July 49,. was
announced. many people pointed to
the i'll omens which this combination
of day and date bore out; yet. judg
ing from the results, the evidence is

On the contrary. the figure "13" has

Tours and the early economy runs,
when "13" was always the chosen
number of the winning Franklin en-
trant.

Santiago, March 1.-The first skir- mish between government forces and rebels since the landing of loyal troops at Santiago was won by the soldiers of President Menocal. The clash re- suited from steps taken to prevent the destruction of the pumps at the city water supply station early today.
 The liberals were driven from a point near the pumping station and towards San Juan hill with the loss of two men wounded. Bombs which were to be used in blowing up the pumps were captured.
 Santiago is quiet. Conservatives have made several arrests, including six persons removed from a Royal Mail line steamer.

Boston. March 2o.-The mystery of the bomb explosion at the court house yesterday was as deep as ever today. One of the two men killed Is known to have been the janitor of the building, but the other body has not been iden- tified.
 After working all night the police expressed the belief that the uniden- titled victim was the one who brought the bomb to the court house.
 During the night several persons were interrogated but this morning the last of these was dismissed, no evidence to connect any of them with the explosion having developed.
 Walter l.. Wedger. state chemist, was busy with tho fragments of the exploded missile, hoping to determine the nature of its construction. A con- nection between yesterdays outrage and the explosion of bomb near a police station in the north end recent ly was sought.

CLEANUP IN NEW HAVEN.
Forty two Women, Forty-ohe Men Ar.
 rested.

New Haven, March 17.-Police visits made simultaneously upon three large downtown cafes last night brought about the arrest of forty-two women and forty-one men under the excise laws. Most of the women will be charged with frequenting or loiter- ing about saloons while many of the men are charged with loitering. The cafe owners are charged with keep ing disorderly places. In city court today the eighty-three cases were con- tinued until next Thursday. Seldom has there been so large a number of defendants appearing in court as was the case today.
