Italy.
The heroic Czecho-Slovaks must be
made into an independent common

The southern Slavs must united in
a great Jugo-Slav commonwealth.
Poland, as genuinely independ-

Austrian and Prussian Poland, as well
as Russian Poland, and have her
coast-line on the Baltic.
Lithunia, Livonia, and Finland must
be guaranteed their freedom and no
part of the ancient empire of Russ "a
left under the German yoke.

F. S. Terry, of Columbia, S. c., is

Mr.. Terry is interested in various fish
cries on the Florida coast and is con-

of this place. The organization of the
McCreary company is being completed
while he is here and they expect to
build up an extensive business, and
hope for the good will of the citizens

OF ice and the lack of a sufficient

here and make it difficult for Tarpon
Springs to compete with other places

Margaret, which occurred in Lakeland
Wednesday night. The child had been
sick for about twelve days, having
been seized with an attack of colitis,
which was later complicated by con-
gestion of the brain. The funeral of
the little girl was held yesterday in
Barlow, interment being made in Oak
Hill cemetery, where her brother Joe
was buried four years ago. Mrs. Mann
was not able to attend the funeral,

gine and lack of faith in Sheldon's

ANNUAL FARMERS MEET AT
UNIVERSITY is POSTPONED

The annual meeting of the Minnesota
Federation Of Farmers clubs and the
annual conference Of farm bureau mem
bers which were to have been held at
University Farm during Farmers and
home Makers Week, December 80 to
January 4, have been postponed This
IS IN line with the action Of the authori-
ties at University Farm to abandon
Farmers and ome-Makers' Week for
this year; also with the action Of renre-
sentatlves of various other statewide
organizations who decided to defer their
meetings The various state orpaniza-
IONS, such as the Federation of Farmers
clubs, the Farm Bureau workers. the
State horticultural Society, the Mime
sofa Livestock Breeders association.
and the Minnesota Crop Improvement,
ASSOCIATION, may announce later dates
for their meetings.
The renewed spread of the influenza
II IN the state was the reason for the post
ponement Of the various meetings and
for the abandonment of Farmers and
Home Makers Week. It was feared
that persons coming in might bring the
infection to others, who would carry it
out over the state and increase the
epidemic. There is no epidemic at
University Farm.

FLU VACCINATION
ADVISED FOR ALL
INSURANCE COMPANIES OFFER
SUGGESTION TO THEIR
POLICY HOLDERS
EPIDEMIC CAUSES so MANY
r DEATHS THAT THEY URGE
PREVENTION

Lie insurance companies who keen
accurate statistical records of the
chances of life and death for human
beings find their calculations somehat
upset by the influenza epidemic which
has attacked chiefly those whose chances
for many years of life were of the best.
leaving the older and younger, the
feebler members of the race untouched
in the great majority Of cases. All this
has had its effect on the business of the
big insurance companies and thew have
consequently been making thoro in
vestigation to see whether they can
find some remedy to check the progress
of the disease
AS result of their Investigations they
are advising their policy holders to be
vaccinated. A part of one of the circu-
lars sent out by company represented
here by J. R. Higgs says:
Get Vaccin ated.
The epidemic of Spanish influenza
has gone all over the United States, and
not only that, but to every part of the
world. The disease has been very
severe and the fatalities have been
enormous. /
If this disease follows the course Of
the usual epidenics, we will have "a
return ofsthe trouble at various times
within the next few: years.; and with
severity possibly diminished, but stal
sufficient to cause q great.deal Of trouble
and great deal of sorrow because Of the
number Of deaths that will occur.
The medical profession is working
hard to obtain some medication that
will lessen the mortality in this disease.
and.to,date, has obtained vaccines which,
if properly given, seem to have a very
marked effect in preventing infection.
The influenza in itself is not the most
dangerous part of this trouble, but the
various forms Of pneumonia that seem
to come with the disease have been the
complications that have been responsible
for most of the deaths.
The yaccines given at this time seem
to very materially lessen the probability
of infection. We would advise our
policy holders to see their family ply
sicians and obtain this vaccine treat
ment without delay.
