LAMB MARKET WILL
OPEN At SPLENDID
PRICE THIS SEASON
M. &. ALLEN, ONE OF LEADING
BUYERS PREDICTS II TO 10
CENTS PRICES.
FARMERS WILL LOOSE HEAVILY
On Account of the Dogs Destroying
the Sheep and Young Lanbs-Esti-
mated Loss VIII Reach $4,000 or
More From This Cause.

M. E. Allen, one Of Maury county's
leading stock buyers, in talking of the
lamb situation stated this morning
that it looked now as if the lamb
market would open at II to is cents
per pound.
Mr.. Allen stated that there were
not as many lambs in the county as
usual, but that the quality of the
lambs were far superior to any that
the county has produced in many
years.
AT Is cents per pound, the average
lamb of from GO to 80 pounds will be
worth from $10.S0 to $1440 each.
This is almost an unheard of price,
and if the farmers of Maury county
had had the proper protection from
the sneaking, skulking, rougish, good
for-nothing, sheep killing, kaiser dogs,
they would have twice as much money
from this one industry as they will re,
ceive.
1t Is estimated that there have been
destroyed in the county this past sea
son by dogs alone $4,000 to $4,000
worth of lambs at the present prices.
ALI of the dogs iii all America are not
worth one tenth or one hundredth the
part of the price of these lambs.
Lambs will begin TO move within
the next thirty days and for sixty days
there will be a steady flow from all
sections of the country TO the big
centers.

NUMBER 2
GIVES LIFE IN EFFORT
TO SAVE SUFFERERS
Miss Mary Il. Buckingham Weakens
Constitution in Heroic Effort TO
Save Others and Falls Victim
to Influenza

The name of Miss Mary B. Pack
ingham, registered nurse, located at
Pullman for several years past, was
Tuesday added to the long list of
Influenza victims, Miss Buckingham
having passed away at the A. T. o.
house hospital early Tuesday morn
Ing. The death of Miss Buckingham,
according to physicians and others in
touch with the situation, was the in
direct result of Over-exertion and
heroic self-sacrifice on her part in
assisting in combating the epidemic
which within few days enveloped
the entire city Miss Buckingham is
known TO have worked SO hours at
one time without rest, organizing the
A. 7, o. and church hospitals and at
the same time serving as head nurse
at the A. r. o. house.
With acute conditions accompany
ing the inability to secure an ade-
quate staff Of nurses at the outset of
the epidemic. Miss Buckingham la
bored faithfully to the limit of her
endurance and when she was herself
attacked with influenza her bodily
strength was not sufficient to stand
the strain, and pneumonia speedily
developed, claiming her life within
a few days.
Miss Packingham had followed her
profession in Pullman for about IL
years being for several years associ-
ated with the Pullman hospital. She
had recently enlisted in the overseas
service and was awaiting her call to
military duty when the epidemic
which resulted in her sudden demise
made its appearance among the sol
diers at the State College.
She is survived by her mother and
two brothers, all residents of Illinois,
and the remains have been shipped
to Strandville, III.
In all the hundreds of local
homes where Miss Buckingham
served as a nurse in cases of Illness
she was beloved and honored and her
sudden death caused a pail of sor-
row to enyelop the entire commun-
ity. Determined to do her full part
in the great struggle for Liberty,
she enlisted for overseas nursing
duties, but made the supreme sacri-
flee in the fight against the influ-
enza epidemic before receiving her
call She has died the death of a
hero and her name should be en-
rolled with those of the soldier
dead on the parchment of honor and
sef-sacrifice.

Situation Improves

A digest of the situation indicates
that, among the military men, the
disease appears to have been brought
under complete control, very few new
cases having been reported during
the last few days, while the daily re-
leases have increased greatly. The
situation in the city at large, while
it has not yet reached the stage
where it can be safely said that the
crest has been passed, is thought to
be improving, with every prospect
that the turning point in the cpl
demic is close at hand. The fact
that the college epidemic shows
greater improvement than that in the
city is undoubtedly due to the earlier
appearance of the disease on the
campus, the epidemic down town not
becoming alarming for several days

Death Rate -Four Per Cent

Since the start of the epidemic
over three weeks ago there have been
slightly over 500 cases among the
military men at the State College, ac-
cording to reports Wednesday. with
total of 26 deaths including those
of Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning, giving a death rate of about
four per cent at that time This
condition, compared with reports
from cities and large army camps
elsewhere, reflects to the great credit
of the military medical staff, Of
which Captain l. s. Collins is head.
Fifty men were released from the
hospitals as cured Tuesday, leaving
Pa military cases still in the hos
pitfalls. No new cases developed
among the military men Tuesday,
