HOW HIS HOGS GOT CHOLERA


 One morning a Kay county, Okla, farmer found hogs ear lying in his pig pens. There were no dead hogs on the place, so the farmer con cluded it must have been carried in by the dogs. While he was figuring it over some of the hogs got hold of the ear and tore it to pieces The matter passed out of the farmers mind for the time being.
 Some mornings later County Agent John P Gray and a vetrinarian from town came out to the farm to investi. gate some sick hogs. Five hogs were dead and eight more were staggering under advanced stages of cholera. The county agent and the veterinarian performed a post mort em so as to establish beyond doubt the nature of the disease and then assisted in burning the dead hogs and in cleaning up the premises.
 The evidence against the dog was. some one had not left cholera victim out in the open or attempted to bury it, the chances are strong that the herd would not have be. come infected. Burning is the only safe way of handling hogs that have died of cholera and it is the only legal way in Oklahoma Extension News Service Oklahoma A. and M. College.

WRITE To THE

Write to the soldier boys and es-
pecially to those at the front and
near the front overseas. II YOU have
20 boy of your own over there. write
to some other bov You probably
have no idea how gladly your letter
will be received 1t is not necessary
that you be intimately acquainted
with him. II he Is from Yuma
county write to hila and tell him
how proud You are Of him. HE will
be "tickled to death to get the letter
and you will feel all the better fer
having shown thar you remember
him and appreciate his loyalty to his
country and your country. Also it
will be great encouragement to
him Here is what soldier boy on
the front in France wrote to friend:
"Our head secgeant gets up on a
box with his arms loaded "i'h letters
and calls out MALI 1t goes along the
line like wildfire Where it usually
takes the men about five minutes tC
assemble for drill call or police duty,
and about two or three minutes for
mess call, I'll bet that within thirty
seconds the whole company is assem-
bled when they hear The Nails In.
Then they all stand as silent as if IT
were funeral so as not to miss a
single name as the sergeant calls
them out. Some go leaping and yell
ing with joy with two or three letters
or perhaps with one. The more UNI
fortunate one often leaves with tears
in eyes. The day the mail comes i'll
is bigger day than pay day"
1t will not take much Of your time
to write few lines to a soldier, so
that at 1.-The great expectation" when
he stands ''as silently as if it were
a funeral" he will not be compelled
to turn away disappointed. This
should be made a duty by every man
and woman so that when those boys
over there assemble for mail call, p"
Yuma county boys will not leave
with tears In their eyes"

HIGH WATER IN
POTTER'S WASH

Heavy rains in the mountains
northeast of Parker caused high
water in some of the creeks or wash
es. Potter's Wash, about couple
of miles above town, was the scene
Of great food Sunday last, the
water at one time having risen to
height of fourteen feet. AS a result
the road crossings were washed
away and all traffic between Parker
and the mines beyond the wash was
stopped. ALI the men available at
the Empire and the Billie Mack
mines were put to work, as soon as
the flood subsided, repairing the
damaged crossings, and by Monday
noon traffic was resumed.
Locally, it rained quite heavily
Saturday forenoon, the storm lasting
in the neighborhood of an hour The
result was that the dust was thor
oughly settled, the heavy clouds
which fingered in the sky causing
such insufferable heat, were dispers-
ed, and the weather generally has
since been a great deal more COM
Portable.

HEAVY CASUALTIES.

Surgeon General William Gorgas
d few days ago declared that the peo-
pie of America must be prepared to
face a casualty ratio of 20 per cent
of its soldiers engaged in big offn
sives overseas The declaration was
made to newspaper men in the pres
ence of a number Of delegates to the
national dental convention In session
at Chicago.
"Since the beginning of the war 1t
has been the experience Of France
and Great Britain that 20 per cent Of
those soldiers taking part in great
offensives have either been killed or
wounded" said General Gorgas.
''I see no reason why America
should not have a similar experience
and I think may safely say we must
count on that ratio. By 20 per
cent I do not mean killed alone, but
in the wounded who are hurt suf1
ciently to put them out of the fight
ing for the time being.
There are severe days ahead OF
us and we must prepare to meet
them with brave hearts"

Nearly a Big Fire.

A fire broke out in the Indepen-
dent Rrestaurant dining room last
Monday evening, and only for the
prompt work of number of people
who happened to be near by and did
the right thing at the right time, at
least three wooden buildings, II not
more, in that row Of houses on Cali
fornia avenue, would have gone up
in smoke. The fire started in a
very simple way. The manager of
the restaurant, it Is said, was filing
gasoline lamp without having first
taken the precautiOn to put out the
light, The result was that the
whole thing was ablaze in the twinkle
OF an eye. The restauranter drop
ped the lamp, when it got too hot,
and seiZing a bucket of water
"doused" it on the blaze, but that
only served to scatter the fire and,
despite the good intentions, made
bad matters worse. At this juncture
about a dozen people, attracted to
the scene, began to throw sand on
the flames-scooping it UP from the
street with their hands. The shower
of sand had the desired effect, so
lively did the beavers heave, and in
short time the fire was completely
smothered The damage was only
nominal

old buildings were once the scenes
of the pioneer Arizona mining camp
but are now occupied by bats and are
slowly falling into decay
The Bird Cage opera house was the
most famous in the territory. 1t is a
rambling, twO-story structure with
the glass in the rough board front
broken by the elements A long bar
occupies one end of the building
while the piano players raised plat
form faces it at the opposite end 1t
was on this platform that the famous
sign hung, which read do not
shoot the piano player. He is doing
the best he can" A gallery extends
around three sides of the opera house
and the stage occupies the fourth
side. On this stage the most famous
variety performers from San Fran
cisco appeared in the old days. Lith-
ographs announcing their coming
still hang on the walls of the opera
house, the ink still bright upon them.
A dumb waiter connects the bar with
the gallery above, where drinks were
served at tables placed in each of the
little rooms which open onto the big
dancing floor. Many killings have
occurred in the Bird Cage and 1t has
been the scene of a number of west
ern stories of frontier life.
At the Can-Can restaurant steaks
once sold for SIS each and men waited
in line to be served at the height of
the Tombstone silver boom. The
Red Light saloon was a gambling
house and the discarded roulette and
faro layouts may be seen stacked in
the rear Of the big building with it's
broken bar and mahogany fixtures.
The stage office is an adobe building
with a corral f1anking it and it was
there that the stage, from Tucson
pulled in each day and the early set
tiers received their mail from the out
