HOG CHOLERA SITUATION

From April / to July Is, hog chol-
era has been found and placed under
quarantine and control on 581 farms,
in practically every county, is the off
cial report of State Veterinarian D.
F.. Luckey to the Missouri State Vet
Urinary Medical Association which
convened here Wednesday, July 20.
On the 5S3 farms were 29,629 hogs.
1445 other owners on adjacent farms
were notified in writing that they
were in danger of hog cholera. In
designations in 212 additional diseased
herds showed other disease that the
owners suspected to be cholera, and
included As lots affected with worms
and lice, and % lots dying from cock
lebur poisoning.
Reports from the 204 veterinarians
indicate that hog cholera conditions
are much improved since April 1
when the new hog cholera control
went into effect, and that there is far
less hog cholera today than last
spring.
Reports from some counties indi-
cate that spring pigs in infected
neighborhoods are taking cholera
Withou' fail, all pigs in infected
or exposed herds should be immunized

AMERICAN EFFICIENCY

German efficiency has been held up
as a degree of excellence unattainable
by a Democracy. The accomplish
ments of the United States since
April 9Th last refute the truth of the
claim. In the short space of time
since that day the United States has
accomplished the following:
Declared a state Of war as existing
between this country and Germany;
Seized 81 German ships and begun
repair work on them;
Authorized unanimously a war fund
of $1,000 100000;
Appropriated S6OOO,OO0,O00 for
merchant shipping and as much for
air fleets;
Agreed to loan our Allies S3,000,-
100000 and advanced them a large
proportion of that sum;
Passed selective draft law and in
single day registered nearly ten
million men for military service;
Enlisted 100000 volunteer soldiers
in the regular army and in the Ma
tional Guard of the States;
Sent a Commission to Russia to aid
Democracy there and body of rail
road men to Russia and another to
France to advise and assist in rail-
road transportation in those coun-
tries;
Begun the construction of 80 camps
for our soldiers;
Sent to England fleet of destroy
ers and to France a detachment Of
troops;
Authorized and now enforcing en-
barge whereby our enemies will re-
ceive no more food or material from
us;
Passed food conservation law;
Organized many volunteer COM
missions and boards who are aiding
the Government and the people in the
speeding up of work, conservation of
food, and other national movements;
Drafted by lot $4,000 men for mill
itary service;
While the Government was accomp-
fishing these things the American peo-
pie have loaned the United States
$2,O00,0O0,O00 and offered $1,000
100000 more, over four million citi-
zens subscribing to the loan.
In addition they have given over
$100,000,000 to the American Red
Cross and $3,OOO,OOO to the Young
Mems Christian Association.
All these things were accomplished
while our soil was not invaded or ev-
en- threatened with invasion and with
out any disturbance of business con-
ditions. All was done with the calm
determination and judgment of an
earnest, patriotic people performing
service for civilization and man.
kind and maintaining the rights, the
dignity and the honor of the greatest
| nation in the world.
The German leaders derided Ameri-
cas- entry into the war as bluff.
| This is our answer.
The German Imperial Government
was nearly fifty years in perfecting
its military efficiency In less than
four months the American Republic
has made such strides as to indicate
that in less than two years time the
boosted superiority Of German eff
cheney will have been discredited.
There is such thing as American
efficiency, and time will prove that
German efficiency cannot withstand it,
fighting as it is for liberty, justice and
humanity.

THE FARMERS DUTY

In this time of war there is a spe-
cial duty laid upon every American
citizen. Some have to bear arms and
risk their lives and safety on danger
Gus seas and on the battle fronts in
Europe. Others must care for those
of them who are wounded and in per-
forming that duty risk their lives al
most equally with those who do the
actual fighting. There are so many
brave Americans performing such du-
ties for their country that those of US
who remain at home in safety and Sc
curity must needs feel the obligation
on us to do our part.
The farmers of America have an
important duty, vital national eco
nomic function imposed upon them.
They must provide food for our arm
les, food for our families at home and
| food for our Allies abroad. The great
and vital Importance of this service
has been recognized and the farmers
of the country are directed to be Civ
en- and will receive special considera-
tons in the matter of exemption from
military service,
The service that the farmers of
America are to perform is in The high
est degree patriotic, but it is to be
profitable, too Never before has the
American farmer had such a market
| for his products or such tremendous
purchasers as he has now in the Gov
| ernments Of the United States and
our Allies. And the funds with which
these products are to be purchased
are practically all raised by the sale
of Liberty Loan Bonds.
The Presidents patriotic call to
the people Of America, made July 18th,
will find a ready response from the
farmers of cur country
mo true patriot will permit him
self to take toll Of our soldiers hero
ism in money, or seek to grow rich
by the shedding Of their blood. He
will give as freely with as unstinted
sacrifice as they. They are giving
their lives. Will he rot at least give
his money!"
But buying q Liberty Loan Bord IS
not making a gift. It is the safest II
| investments, and considering also It's
rate of interest and nontaXable fea-
ture it is remunerative investment
of the first order. Some pronounce it
the premier security CT the world.
The farmers of America are given
an easy way to serve their country,
show their patriotism, and greatly
benefit themselves. Money is needed
to feed, equip, arm, and clothe our So
diers at the front. And money is
needed, too, to buy the products Of
Americas farms for our army and ma
Wy and armies and navies of our Al
lies. A great proportion of this money
has been raised and is to be raised by
the sale of Liberty Loan Bonds. The
farmer in supporting the Liberty
Loan serves his country, his people,
and himself, and he serves, too, the
cause of liberty, the cause of humanity
and civilization.

ALL COUNTIES
GET STATE ROADS

Under section of the Halves road
law the system of estate roads" must
extend into each of the ia counties
in Missouri. We quote the law, as
follows:
"Such roads shall be selected with
due regard to directness and persist
ence of routes, low grades, economy
in construction and maintenance, prob
able volume of transportation, and
general adaptation to the needs of the
people. of the county and State at
large; provided that each county in
the State shall be included in the sys-
tenn of Estate roads,. In making such
selections, existing roads may be util-
lied, or new locations made, as may be
deemed best in each case. State
roads shall have a right of way not
less than 40 feet wide"
The selection of the type or kind of
road desired is left with the proper
officials of any county or civil subdi-
vision, or with "persons interested"
subject to the approval of State and
Federal departments. The State
Highway Department insists that To-
cal materials be used wherever pos
sible, and where gravel with good
cementing qualities is found, this ma
terial is recommended in preference
to macadam as a wearing surface.

Fire Prevention Education.

Fire prevention in public schools
and fire prevention in homes are mat
ters naturally of keen interest In the
first case the question is largely one
of proper legislation regarding the con-
structiOn and protection of school
buildings; in the second case it is
largely matter of individual educa-
ton. 1t Is estimated that 60 per cent
Of fires occur in homes, though Of
course 60 per cent of the fire loss does
not result therefrom.
Perhaps it is education which must
be relied upon to furnish the chief
weapon in the fight for fire proven
ton. Legislation is important; so is
inspection Of the construction and con-
dition Of buildings so that legislation
may be backed up. But, speaking
broadly, the cooperation of the indi-
vidual, due to his enlightened self
interest" is probably the essential fac
tor in fire prevention as it is in the
other activities of the Safety First fed
eration.-Baltimore News.
