CHOLERA AS Menace
AMONG THE PORKERS
GREAT MANY HOGS ARE ILL
WITH THE DISEASE
What Must Be Done To Check
Its Spread; Serum at Farm
Bureau

Cholera is taking serious toll
among the hogs. This is proving to
be another hog cholera year, not only
in Blue Earth county but throughout
the state. While the disease is not
spreading as rapidly as it does some
times, and every effort is being made
to check it, good results can be Sc
cured by extreme care on the part of
everyone living near cholera infect
ed herd. Cholera is far more easily
carried than any other common dis
ease Of farm animals, and the most
Insignificant amount of cholera in
fected dirt may carry the disease.
What Must Be Done.
In view Of these facts no person
other than regular attendant should
be permitted to go into or near the
hog pens Special care should be
taken when threshing crews go from
Infected premises to clean places
Some cases OF cholera appeared re-
Gently, where it was very evident
that the threshing crews had carried
the disease from one place to the
other
To guard against this it is recon-
mended that notices be posted on the
hog yards requesting threshers not
to enter them. All dogs should be
kept tied up in cholera infested
neighborhoods, as they are among the
worst carriers OF this disease. Like
wise flocks of pigeons, which feed
almost entirely in pig yards, should
be shot Off In case the disease ap-
pears in the herd success in treat
ment depends almost entirely on vac
cinating Immediately. A delay OF
forty eight hours often means the
loss of half of the herd, where i'm
mediate treatment will usually save
almost all of the herd.
Supply of Serum.
The supply of state serum, both at
the Blue Earth County Farm bureau
office, and at the state farm, is tenn
porarily exhausted. However, COM
mercial serum can be secured through
local veterinarians. DR.. Ficth of the
university farm, states that new
supply of serum will be available in
few days, and as soon as it is on
hand a supply will be carried at the
Blue Earth County Farm bureau.

NATION TO TAKE ONE
EXTRA HOUR OCT. 27

Chicago, September 25.-When
the nation yawns and takes an
extra hours sleep on October 27,
the date set for ending the day
light saving season, there is
grave danger of causing a great
waste in the clock making in
dustry.
There must be no turning back
the hands of the clock, time re-
cordihg experts declare in warm
ing to the public. Such action
would fairly shatter the morale of
the time recording and master
clocks and all clocks striking the
hours, and would require the serv-
ices of an army of repair men,
thus causing an unnecessary
waste of man power.
"Turn the hands around eleven
hours" is the advice CT the time
service department of the Western
Union company. BY turning
the hands forward until the time
indicated is one hour less than at
the start of the change the same
result as stopping will be had"

CAREER OF Eminent
PRELATE HAS ENDED
ARCHBISHOP JOHN IRELAND
DIE0 EARLY TODAY
This Well Known Catholic Divine
Lived To Be About Eighty
Years of Age
UNITED Press Dispatch

st. Paul, September 25.-ArchbishoI
John Ireland, for over thirty years
archbishop of the st. Paul diocese
died this morning at 1856 O'clock
following an illness for the past five
days during the most of the time
having been unconscious. Archbishop
Ireland was eighty years old at the
time of his death. For over thirty
hours before death he was uncon-
scious and the heart beat gradually
grew weaker and weaker until at
last it was kept up only by the ad
ministration of oxygen.
Sister BY Bedside.
Mother Superior Seraphin, a sister
of the archbishop, and Bishop O'Gor-
man of Sioux City were at the bed
side to the end Bishop O'Gorman
was a personal friend of the arch
bishop. 1t is said that Archbishop
Ireland knew that the end was near
and the late rites were administered
last night Bishop Trobec of Rice,
Bishop Hebron of Winona and Bishop
O'Rielly of Fargo were also with the
archbishop until the end.
Closely Followed Farley Death.
No arrangements for the funeral
have been made thus far. 1t was a
queer coincidence that the death of
Archbishop Ireland should so closely
follow the death of Cardinal Farley
in New York. During the illness of
the archbishop, Rev. J. c. Byrne of
st. Luke's church, st. Paul had
charge of all the business of the do
cese and will remain in charge until
a new appointment is made by the
pope The only relative of the arch
bishop who survive him is his sis
ter, Mother Superior Seraphin.

President Wilson will open the
great $4,000, 100000 Fourth Liberty
Loan drive in speech at the Met
ropoIitan theatre, New York, on
Saturday evening. This is the

will give an account of the money
already spent and explain to some
extent the enormous expenditures
before the country in the future.

BAILING OUT A CANOE.
What to Do In Still or Rough Watsl
When the Craft Is Swsmped.

What to Do In Still or hou9h "ater
When the Craft Is Swsmped.
In reasonably still waters one man
or boy can bail out an upset canoe.
There are two good methods-rocking
il out and showing il out. In the first
swim around to the stern Of the canoe
and get out the water inside, rocking
from side to side so that ii fops out at
each reverse. As soon as enough is
out to give her a good freeboard get
aboard over her stern and dash out the
rest with your hands. "a
Showing the water out also depends
on the momentum of body Of water.
Swim astern and, grasping the stern
breasthook. give her smart pull to-
ward you. The water will slop out
In a torrent over her bows. Then
shove away from you with all your
strength, and the water will come rush.
ing aft and slop out over her stern.
Keep this up until about half emptied,
says a writer in Boys Life, then get
aboard over her stern and dash out
the rest with your hands.
/ do not believe that a single man
or boy can bail out a swamped canoe
In a heavy blow. Stick to her, for she
is your only hope. and get overheard
all the heavy dufile. If the water is
not too cold get out some Irvine or fish
line and buoy mark rifles, axes, etc.,
by lowering them to the bottom and
tying floating duflie bag at the sur
face anchored by the gun. This leaves
the canoe free. Right her and get into
her still awash.
Watch your chance to get water out
and do so at every opportunity. Sooner
or later she will drift ashore and if you
feel yourself getting numb rest your
head on bow or stern breastbook and
keep quiet. If the water is cold act
quickly. Heave out all duffle. right the
canoe and get in and bail steadily.
You may beat out the waves and at
least will keep exercising while you
drift to the shore.
