lege uatl your call is reached under
the Selective Service Law. At that
time it will be decided whether you
will be called Immediately to active
service or whether you should remain
IN college to complete the course you
are pursuing. The decision will de-
pend upon the needs of the service
and upon your achievements in
your military work, and in your
studies as determined by the mill
tary officers at the college and by
the college authorities.
During the summer you will
have an opportunity to attend a
summer camp for intensive military
training. Your travelling expenses
to and from camp will be paid and
you will be on active duty under a

ment.
AS a member of the Student
Army Training Corps you will be
subject to call to active duty at any
time in case Of emergency. If you
desire to enter active service before
completing your college training,
transfer to active duty may be ar
ranged through military channels
with the consent of the military Of
ficers at the college and of the col

of the Government, however, to al

you reach the age of twenty-one, or
until you complete your course.
| previously there have been two
methods by which a young man
might enter the National Service. He
might either enlist voluntarily as a
private in the Army or a seaman in
the Navy, or he might remain in civ

ice at the age of twenty-one under
the Selective Service Law. The
Student Army Training Corps rep

TUBERCULOSIS AMONG
DOMESTIC ANIMALS

Since the Inauguration Of the
campaign for the eradication of tu-
berculosis among animals { cattle
and swine principally, by the U. S.
Bureau Of Animal Industry, in CO.
operation with the various states,
numerous inquiries have been receive
ed at this office in regard to the
work and the purpose of this article
is to give information to every herd
owner in the States of North Caro-
lima and Virginia.
Nature of the Disease
tuberculosis is an infectious, con-
tagious and communicable disease to
which only a very few species of the
lower animals are immune. Tubers
culosis is the most widely dissemin-
ated disease affecting the domestic
animals. It causes a tremendous
financial loss annually in the pro-
ductiop of meat and dairy products,

very insidious disease and the intro
duction of one tuberculous animal
into a herd may be the means Of in
fecting a large number of its men,
bers. The herd may become extern
sively diseased before the owner
suspects its presence, unless his herd
is tested at regular intervals and all
cattle for addition to the herd are
tested before being placed With the
healthy animals. The most profit
able herd of cattle or swine cannot
be established or maintained if a
single member is affected by this
disease.
How to Eradicate 1t.
The method of eradication is by
applying the tuberculin test and re-
moving from the herd, all cattle
which react to the test and dispose
of them either by slaughter or by
segregation for breeding purposes
and the thorough disinfection Of
contaminated premises. The tuber-
culin test, together with a careful
physical examination, is the most &C,
curate means of diagnosing the di.
sease. The injection of tuberculir
produces no i'll effects in healthy
animals. 1t is an absolutely sterile
product, free from the germs of tn.

No Charge for Test


No charge is made for the serv-
ices of Bureau inspectors, in connec-
ton with this work, but the herd
owner is expected to convey the in
spector to and from the nearest rail-
road point and furnish him with
board, lodging and necessary assis-
lance in any part of the work he
may be conducting. The work in
the territory including Virginia and
North Carolina is being conducted
by the local Office of the Bureau Of
Animal Industry at 416-418 Lyric
Building, Richmond, Va, to which
all inquiries for information and re-
quests for agreements for tubercu-
lin testing, etc., should be made.

LOUISIANA FALLS IN LINE

Another wet state has registered
its approval Of the national prohi-
bition amendment. Louisiana is the
fourteenth commonwealth to take
such action and the fifth wet state
to repudiate cold BOOZE" The rati-
fication bill failed at the regular
session Of the legislature of that
state some time ago.. The House
approved, but the vote in the Sen
ate was a tie. The hand of the liquor
interests. was plainly seer in the re-
suit and the Governor ordered a spe-
cial session, composed of newly
elected members, to consider the
question anew. And he evidently
knew what the answer would be, for
in less time than it takes to tell the
story, after the assembly convened,
the amendment had been ratified by
both branches and approved by His
Excellency as a number one job.
The states which have already
ratified the amednment are: Miss
issippi, Virginia, Kentucky, South
Carolina, North Dakota, Maryland,
Montana, Texas, Delaware, South
Dakota, Massachusetts,, Arizona and
Georgia. There are fourteen of
these since Louisiana has fallen in
line. Twenty-Five more are needed
to Danish booze from the Nation,
but with states like Louisiana vot-
ing "dry" next winter is likely to
witness the end of the fight and the
death knell to Intoxicating liquor in
every form. It need not be surpris-
ing if Congress should shortly enact
a wartime prohibition measure, for
the people of the country are getting
mighty tired of being called upon to
pinch and save while the breweries

every year to make more than six
millions pounds of bread.

SEND THE BOYS
THE HOME PAPER.

Ask any boy in the service what
next to his letters from home he'd
rather receive and he'll tell you 'the
home paper" If you have never
been away from home much and had
the pleasure of opening the little
home sheet, you don't know how
much it means to him. Wherever
home is, and no matter much wheth-
er the paper be good or poor, it
brings the news of the happenings
around the home town, and in the
time that the boy is reading it he'll
forget about being blue and almost
imagine he is back home again.
The News-Herald would like to go
to every boy from Burke who is in
the service, and for this reason we
are making a special reduction in
price as an inducement to the fam
lilies and friends to send it to the
boys. Many of them are getting it
already and invariably in writing
home they speak of how much they
like to get the paper.-News-Herald

erage period each ship was in dock.
and a brief statement of the WORK
done on it. S2e ii information also
is sought regarding ports where coal
and oil are handled.
The coaStwiSe trade in coal and oil
IS perhaps the most important that
has been handicapped by Inadequate
facilities. At present. this trade is
limited only by shipping and port ia
cilities The survey shows these
ports taxed to capacity at present,
and in many instances ovcrtaxed, and
in almost all instances facing serious
congestion unless speedily expanded.
New York harbor particularly is
overtaXed. and some Southern ports,
especially Galveston, New Orleans,
Jacksonville, and Charleston, deed
expansion. All outhern ports, it is
expected, will be enlarged because
signs Of congestion are already in
sight. This condition results from
heavy traffic being diverted by rail-
roads from overland routes north to
southern ports either for shipment
north or to the West Indies and South
America.
The Commission. besides it's plans
for port expansion. wi, consider the
diversion of imports and exports from
northern to southern ports, particu-
larly shipments to and from the Mid
die West, which now add to the trou-
bles OF congested railways along the
North Atlantic seaboard and in
Pennsylvania and Ohio. Relief is
planned by transit through Southern
ports to railways and waterways.
Trade with South America coun-
tries, which has increased enormous
~ during the war, will be considered
by the commission in relation to the
ports Of the South. The diversion of
this trade, as also that of the Middle
West, is regarded as demanding vast
increase of water front facilities
there.
Enlargement of Pacific ports is re-
garded necessary with the expansion
OF trade with the Orient.
