HOG CHOLERA STOPPED
ONE CASE IN DICKINSON

Reports of the control of hog
cholera in Dickinson county are very
encouraging. Only one case of hog
cholera which was near Industry
come under my observation this
week. Veterinarians of the county
report no new cases of hog cholera
in the last few weeks. Everyone
should be on guard and notice any
sick hogs in their herd and report
Immediately by telephone to the
Gleissner drug store, Abilene, where
calls will be received. The spring
campaign for cleaning and disin-
fecting of hog lots and sheds in the
county should be done Immediately.
Keeping the premises in sanitary
condition is the main battle in hog
cholera. Serum innoculations will
not rid premises of hog cholera If
the infection is on your farm. Clean
ing and disinfectants are the weap-
ons for infected farms.-Dr. j. E.
Ham, U. S. Veterinary Inspector.

nearly ran into car on his way to
the depot and then ran frantically
for the train. He caught the last

him thought he would be killed. He
clasped the railing but the train had
gained speed and he was thrown
against the side of the car. At first

STATE WILL DO ITS SHARE
IN RED CROSS SUBSCRIPTION
Dickinson VIII Probably be Asked
for $4,000.

Kansas quota for the 1918 Rec
Cross fund will be S1,5S4 900, prac
tically the same as last year. The
state last year gave $S,O5s,OOO. much
more than the Quotant asked How
ever, Western Kansas will probably
fall short this year and the state will
not give more than 100000.
S. r. Cobb of Topeka, divisional
committeeman for Kansas for the
1918 Red Cross fund went to st.
Louis Saturday to attend a confer
ence of the divisional committeeman
of the five states making up the
southwest division of the Red Cross
The object of the meeting was to
crystalize the plans under which the
1913 Red Cross war fund campaign
was to be handled The men at the
meeting decided that nothing in the
1918 campaign should be handled in
haphazard way, and a set of plans
which had been worked out by the
national officers Of the American
Red Cross was discussed and adopt
ed. The printed details of the plans
will be sent out to all the county
and district managers before April
10. The Red Cross drive in the
southwest division is expected to be
model of efficient and coordinate
effort.
Cobb has already started the
wheels of his campaign machinery
to grinding. He has appointed div
isional field representatives in all but
three of the fourteen divisions in the
state Of Kansas. These men togeth
er with the county managers will
probably be called to a big mass
meeting of the campaign men at To-
peka on April IS. The executive Of
fcers of the southwest division and
their associates from the different
will be in Topeka for
this meeting to explain the plan
which is to be followed in every
county under the jurisdiction of the
division officers. For the purposes
Of the 1918 Red Cross war fund
the state of Kansas has
been divided into fourteen districts
or divisions. At the head OF each
district is a man called the divisional
field representatives. Cobb has al
ready appointed eleven of the divis-
Ional field representatives and has
assigned their territory.
d. ]. Hanna of Salina is the rep
for the tenth district.
Dickinson is included in the tenth !
district.
In the last Red Cross drive, Dick
Inson county was asked for $4,000 /
and gave over $4,000. 1t is ex-
pected that the county's quota will
be the same this year and the full
amount will be raised.

WILL SELL THEIR WHEAT

Farmers of Kansas still hold two

expected practically all of it to be
sold voluntarily before May / with
out requisitioning by the govern
ment, because of the loyalty Of the
average Kansan. Pro-Germans who
persistently refuse to market their
wheat in spite of the military neces-
sity must pay for the cost of haul
ing, in case the wheat must be req
uisitioned, Mr. Innes said.
