'If you see a tall fellow ahead of a
crowd,
A leader of men, marching fearless
and proud,
And you know of tale whose mere
telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in
anguish be bowed,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
"If you know of a skeleton hidden
away
In a closet, and guarded and kept
from the day,
In the dark; and whose showing,
whose sudden display,
Would cause grief and sorrow, and
lifelong dismay,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
"If you know of a thing that will
darken the joy,
OF man or a woman, girl or boy,
That will wipe out asmile,or the least
way annoy,
A fellow, or cause any gladness to cloy
It's a pretty good plan to forget it."

FARM BUREAU NOTES
Hog Growers Attention.

This is the season of the year when
outbreaks of hog cholera are most
apt to occur, and with hogs as high
as they are at the present time, no
farmer can afford to let this terrible
disease get a good hold in their herd.
Not only is it the best thing for the
farmers who have any hogs that are
sick to report to this office, but it is
also his duty to do so, as the proper
precautions will be taken to prevent
the spread of the disease, if it is any
thing contagious. We at this Gee
do not pose as veterinarians, or give
treatment to any hogs, not yet at
tempt to diagnose cases, so suggest,
that while the proper thing for any
one with sick hogs to do, is to report
them to this office; they also employ
their local veterinary to treat their
sick hogs.
The Bureau of Animal Industry OF
the u. S. Department of Agriculture
has a trained hog cholera expert 10.
Gated at Kalamazoo, in the person OF
DIR. Watson, ID. V. S., who will come
into this county and cooperate with
local veterinaries in cases where the
local doctor is undecided about the
| true nature of the disease. This ONCE
can at any time get in communication
with DR.. Watson. 80,
AS a further precaution we will
keen on hand here at Paw Paw, all
the time for the next few months,
supplv of Anti Hog Cholera Serum
and Virus, that any veterinary having
case of hog cholera, or well herd
the owner of which desires to immune
his animals, may be Obliged to secure
the material to work with on very
short notice. This material will be
put out to d. V. SIS at actual cost.
We also have two sets of hog cholera
svringes which we will gladly loan
TO any u. V. S. who does not have q
set Of his own. Will farmers and
veterinaries cooperate with us in an
ATTEMPT to keep Van Buren, County
free from the hog cholera?

SPANISH INFLUENZA"
so
Writes

Army, Navy, State, City and VIII
age officers all over the land are pre-
pairing to combat the new epidemic
known as Spanish Influenza, and
the following general code of instruct
ions have been prepared for the in
struction and guidance of the public
during the crisis. DR.. j. c. Maxwell,
local health officer, urges the atten-
ton of the general public in this COM
munity, to these instructions and adj
monishes strict compliance with every
detail of the same:-
We are confronted by an epidemic
of influenza which will affect more
than half of our population in all
probability. There is a shortage of
physicians, nurses and hospital ac-
comodations. The health and efficien-
cy of the civilian population must be
maintained. 1t is the patriotic duty
of every citizen to avoid influenza
and keep in good health. To avoid
influenza.
"Avoid contact with other people
so far as possible. Especially avoid
crowds indoors, in street cars, the
aires, motion picture houses, and
other places of public assembIage.
Avoid persons suffering from "colds"
sore throats, and coughs.
Avoid chilling of the body or living
in rooms of temperature below sixt-
five degrees or above seventy-two.
Sleep and work in clean fresh air.
Keep your hands clean and keep
them out of your mouth.
Avoid expectorating in public places
and see that others do likewise.
Avoid visiting the sick.
Eat plain, nourishing food and
avoid alcoholic stimulants.
Cover your nose with your handker-
chief when you sneeze, your mouth
when you cough. Change handker-
chiefs frequently. Promptly disinfect
soiled handkerchiefs by boiling or
washing with soap and water.
Don't worry, keep your feet warm.
Wet feet demand prompt attention.
Wet clothes are dangerous and must
be removed as soon as possible.
WHAT TO DO FOR
INFLUENZA AND COLDS
Oftentimes it is impossible to tell
a cold from mild influenza. There

If you get cold, go to bed in

Bean Growers Will Meet

S"" uHVWVio VIII lucct
James N. Mcbride, Michigan Di-
rector of Markets, informs us that on
October 10th, and 18th, the Michigan
Bean Growers will meet at Saginaw
Michigan. A fine program is being
arranged and every bean grower is
invited.
To Farmers Buying Lime.
According to circular No. Nine
"War Industries Board, no lime
manufacturers can legally sell to any
farmer for agricultural purposes
more than one ton of lime in one year
unless the farmer certifies to the
County Agricultural Agent of his
county that the lime is to be used as
means of increasing the production
of food.
We have been talking lime, and will
continue to talk lime, for a great deal
of our soil needs it so badly that the
best results cannot in many cases be
secured from commercial fertilizers
and in some cases even with farm
manure, until the soil has been
properly lined.
This ruling of the "War Industries
Board" as we understand, is not meant
to check the use of lime for the inn
proving of soils and thus the increas-
ing of food production, but rather to
prevent the use of lime in unneces-
sary building during the period of the
war.
The County Agricultural Agent is
expected to act as medium between
the farmers and manufacturers.
Transmitting requests for lime for
agricultural purposes to the manufact-
urer.
If any farmer in the county wishes
to use lime ontheir land we will be
glad to help them secure the same.
