ANTI-HOG CHOLERA
CAMP AIGH IN
BEN HILL

As has been announced before in
the Leader-Entcrprse, DIR. w. L.
White, an experienced veterinarian in
the employ of the United States De-
partmcnt of Agriculture, Animal In
dustry Division, has been assigned to
tBen Hill County, has headquarters in
fitzgerald and is ready and anxious to
serve every farmer in this county in
the matter of giving anti-hog cholera
serum both single and double treat
mcnt.
INCREASING of hogs is without doubt
one of the most important branches of
agriculture that our farmers can en-
! gage i'll and we want to see Ben Hill
county develop into the banner
Hog Raising County of South Georgia
but material progress cannot be made
III this direction until hog cholera is
stamped out and it is beyond question
that this can be accomplished If our
farmers will have their hogs treated
with anticholera serum and virus.
1t has been conclusively demonstrate
ed that there is no other method OF
eradication, and now with hogs worth
on their feet about zoe per pound, no
farmer can afford to take the risk OF
losing his hogs from cholera with this
positive preventative offered him, and
the expense of the Veterinary paid
by the government The only expense
to the farmer is the cost price of the
serum which amounts to only an av-
erage of about SOC per hog.
With DR. White here ready to serve
each and every farmer in the county,
together with our own County Dem
onstration Agent, ]. f. Pittman, who
rs always anxious to cooperate and to
assist in the vaccination of hogs, there
is left no excuse for farmer to lose
his hogs. Let the farmers understand
that it is too late to wait until cholera
is iii the herds to vaccinate. Let it
be done before there is AN outbreak
- tAtS iSiiNdJ 10 d preventative dHu
should be used as such
There are two methods of treatment
the serum treatment, known as the
single treatment, WHICH gives the
hog immunity for from 90 to 40 days,
! dependent upon the size, age and
! growth OF the hog. This treatment is
| effective only temporarily. The double
treatment, which by all means is the
preferable treatment, is>known as the
| Simultaneous Treatment, costs no
more than the Single Treatment, and
gives hog absolute protection for
life. By all means let all our farm
ers have all of their hogs treated at
once.
Call up DR.. White at his boarding
house, phone 227, and he will come
immediately and do the work for you.
Use him while this help is available
now.

ment of its charter as corporation OF

owners of the corporation preferring

The company has been in business
since 1912 and has forged to the front
in the mercantile business, becom-
ing firmly established in the esteem
and confidence Of both the trading
public and the wholesale world.
With the change Of the legal status
Of the company there. will be no

BROTHERHOOD.

One night as I lay sleeping
There came a dream to me;
i saw a. million idle men
In this land Of the free;
And aged, worn-out workers
Trudging upon the road.
And though they had not anything
They bore a heavy load.
Oh, working man, oh working man!
Lift up your eyes and see
Heart-weary mothers, brothers,
In this land Of the free.
saw the little children
In factory and field;
Their forms were thin and bare and
worn,
Some wounded, some killed.
I saw the weary mothers
Toiling all day long;
Their weary backs were bent with
The sigh was all their song.
I looked again, the scene had
changed,
There was no need to roam;
The aged workers were at peace.
The children now had home; !.
The little children were at play,
The mothers work was done,
For want was past and all at last
Had come into their own.
oh, working man, oh, working man'
Lift up your eyes and see
The blessed land of Brotherhood,
The land that is to be.

PROBE OF MILK PRICES.

l.. U. Young, local food investiga-
tor, has appealed to the State Public
Safety commission for survey of the
milk situation at the head of the
lakes, to ascertain if the prevailing g
high prices for that commodity are
justifiable.
This action is particularly pleasing
to The Labor World in view of the
fact that about a month ago, when
the milk prices were given a boost,
we advocated that the Public Safety
commission make an Investigation.
Regardless of the claim that dairy
men are disposing of their herds and
that unusually high prices demanded
for feed make it only logical that
prices increase, it, appears all too
apparent that there is some combina-
tion-probably both of producers and
dfstributors-at the head of the lakes
which is taking advantage Of the
popular wave of profiteering, with
the consumers, as usual, the victims
AS a result Of the Safety commits.

milk there has been reduced from

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

Despite the opposition of the local
retail merchants, the ordinance in
troduced and sponsored by Commits
Si0ner Phillips providing for a reduc-
ton in the license fee of itinerant
merchants was adopted by the city
commissioners at their meeting last
Monday afternoon.
There have been few, if any, pro-
positions before the council which
elected the spontaneous approval of
so many voters as did this ordinance.
If the commissioners had any doubt
as to whether popular sentiment ia
vored the measure, that doubt was
dispelled by the preponderant sup
port pledged by the several petitions
received by the city clerk and the
dozen speakers who appeared at the
meeting.
The fight for the ordinance did not
center SO much in the proposition it.
self as in the principle involved, and
whether the invisible local food trust
and it's deluded agents, the retailers,
could dictate to the council, and
thereby thwart the will of the people
in their desire to obtain relief from
the oppressively high prices.
To the casual observer, 1t is mex
plicably difficult to understand the
motives of a body Of men, elected by
the people to represent the people,
even hesitating to adopt measure
so palpably beneficial to their well
fare, despite the fact that the jour-
nalistic sponsor of some of those men
had presented weak argument in
advocating its defeat.
At any rate, the people won the
first round of the fight against the
high-handed tactics of the Michigan
street octopus; and it might be well
to state that this preliminary is but
a mild criterion of what is expected in
the future.

THE CURE FOR WORRY
BY REV. CHARLES STELZLE.

Worry has been called American
it's" But this is a SANDER. No coun-
try is immune from the disease. Nei-
ther is any class of society. Rich and
poor, learned and ignorant. capitalist
and labor-and all are subject to its
ravages. Work rarely kills, but
worry, sooner or later, brings down its
victim. A man can least afford to
worry when he does worry, because
just at such time he needs the force
of every faculty to bring him to his
normal condition.
What is worry, anyway? 1t is just
a host of restless imps of fear, which,
taken singly, could be conquered with
hardly an effort. It is their multi
plicity, their persistency, that dis
courages.
How may worry be cured?
First, by realizing the utter USE
lessness Of worry. A dozen eternities
spent in worry will not change a. sin
gle fact. It is only by hard, faithful
work that such things are accom-
plished. and no man can work well.
with clear head and steady hand,
If he will persist in worrying.
Second, by taking a larger view of
life. Most of us imagine that the
world is comprehenoed within our
own limited horizon. This is not quite
true. There are really some good
people and some good things beyond
the line of our vision.
Third, by not "crossing bridges
until we come to them. AS a matter
Of fact, nine-tenths Of our fears are
never realized. Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof"
Fourth, not only by remembering
that tomorrow has not yet arrived.
but that yesterday is already passed.
Fifth, by constantly recalling that
this is Gods world. It has not gone
to the devil. It may at times seem as
though 1t had, but the presence of so
many strong, good people in it, and
the constant progress that we are
making, disproves it.

THE l0WLY penny.

The lowly penny is again coming
into it's own as factor in winning the
war. Many of us have talked in mill
lions and billions so much that small
change is q novelty. The Denver
mint will devote the whole month Of
November to making Lincoln pennies.
This output of one-cent coins, II piled
one upon the other, would make q
stack a mile and one-half high. The
new war taxes just going into effect
have caused the unprecedented de-
mand for the smallest Of American
coins. The tax on tobaccos and Gig
arettes has brought the penny into
demand in a. branch Of trade where It
never before was recognized, except in
a few stores. Tobacco and cigarettes
that formerly sold for a nickel or a
dime now are 6 cents or II cents, and
so on. The tax on nlot1on.picture pa
irons is having an amazing effect on
the usefulness Of the penny. Work
ing ''"'the,, clock around" the Denver
mint can coin 600, 900 pennies in each
twenty-four( hours. That will make a
total for November Of about 15,000,-
900. The Philadelphia, mint last
month contributed 12,6oo,00o to the
nations supply.-ExchanEe. 81 ss

ion and his wide sympathy for SIM
pie justice, the rich and powerful
can not now resort to long, drawn
out litigation for the purpose of ex-
hausting the resources of the poor,
and tiring them out, as was their
habit whenever they had weak cases
at law. The supreme court of Min
nesota is no longer the refuge of the
rich and mighty. 1t is the peoples
court in the fullest sense. Every liti-
giant, rich or poor, has now the same
opportunity for justice before that
court, and he gets it speedily at the
minimum cost.
Minnesota workingmen are much
indebted to Justice Brown for his
liberal views on assumption of risk
and negligence in master and servant
personal injury cases. He played a
distinguished part in modifying the
hard and fast rules of assumption of
risk, contributory negligence and that

out entirely in their application to
certain cases. His position on such
made the Minnesota supreme court
the real forward-moving law institu-
tion of the country, and served to
hasten the day for the passage OF
workingmen's compensation legisla-
ton in the several states.
Chief Justice Brown is held in
high esteem by judges, lawyers and
the people. Although serving 80
years on the bench he is still in the
prime of his powers. His unanimous
reelection would be a fitting tribute
to the splendid service he has rem
dered the people of Minnesota, and
would indicate that they cherish,
appreciate, and reward without stint
their judges who safeguard and pro-
tect their rights.

POTENCY OF LABOR.

Columbus Labor News: No honest
man or impartial publication can say
that Labor has not done far beyond
its share to win this war. It is
Labor that will pay for the bonds
and the taxes. There never was a
tax imposed by any government that
was not passed along to the working
people to be paid. There never was
an army raised, whether it was under
Caesar, Alexander the Great, Napo-
leon, Grant or our own General Hale,
that was not composed in ninety per
cent Of the toilers from the great
cities and the rural districts. Go to
the laborer's home during any war
and there you will find the real econ
ony, the real patriotism-there, you
will find the vacant chair, the shut
ters closed and the blinds drawn,

helpless babe, but all the while
