STRANGE NEW DISEASE
AFFECTS YOUNG PIGS

~Brookings, S. D., March "A conta-
gious disease known as necrobacillosis,
affecting pigs from the sucking stage
to 3 months old, is becoming widely
scattered over the state. The control
Of this disease will have a direct bear

laboratory at State college.
Necrobacillosis manifests itself in a
variety Of Ways. In some herds of
little pigs the lips, tongue, gums and
jaws are affected. These parts show
swellings n ulcers varying from half
the size Of a pea to the size of a mans
thumb nail. The edges are quite red
and inflamed, and h cente often
contains a thick, dark colored scab.
This condition soon interferes with
their eating, and they get thin and
thrifty n die. Treatment consists in
removing the scab and all dead tissue
and painting the Ulcers with tincture
of iodine. This early and persistently

the pigs and thorough ~disinfecting the
pens is also a part of wise treatment.

that sweet home and some day you will journey hence to meet her there. The occasion which calls us together is the passing away of one who was well beloved, one who was highly honored by all who knew her. She has fallen asleep in Jesus; blessed be the sleep from which none ever wake to weep. Mamie was a model mother a mother with the instinct of a true woman. She desired very much that her children should become honored and useful citizens, and thus she ad- vised htem to walk upright and in the fear of the lord. As one of the residents of this vicinity she sought at all times to be her neighbors' help CT in the time of need, comforter in time of trouble, a peace-maker in times of strife.
 She leaves husband and four chil- dren to mourn her untimely death. The broken-hearted family have the sympathy of the entire community, for the chair is vacant which can never be filled. Why we have to be separated is not for mortals to know for now we see through glass dark ly. We have laid her in the quiet city of the dead to await the resurrec- tion morn.

OBITUARY

Emmet, Ark, March 25, 1918.
 The Death Angel entered the home of MT. Herman Zappe, and claimed as it's victim the loved husband and father. He is survived by wife and four sons. MT. Zappe was born at Lisbon, Germany, July 3, 1S43. Was married to Miss Fannie Tomblin in London. England. To that union was born four sons, Ed of Pine Bluff, Hugo of Ferid, La, Emmet of Jones' boro, H., Paul of San Antonio, Tex.
 They were all at his bedside when he died. He told his wife not to worry, for he was ready to go. He joined the church several years ago. He belonged to the M. k. church, South, and was most always found in his place both at church and at Sunday school. He always took part in the singing, and was mayor of Emmet for quite while, and tried to do his duty, always with a kind word for his friends. Bro. Zappe had not been we'll all this winter, but kept up most of the time.
 MT. Zappe will be greatly missed by his bereaved family, his wife and little granddaughter, as he was so punctual in carrying little Pauline with him to church. His mission will be great as he was a very industrious man. May the good Lord bless and comfort them, and may they trust a higher power for comfort and finally meet in a better world than this, where there will be no parting, no pain, no death. They have our sin cere sympathy.

PARIS. July l5.--Early to-day Paris
was startled hy three tremendous explo-
sons. followed by the constant rolling
and booming OF guns. 1t was thought
at first that an air raid was in progress.
but as no signal had been given II was
soon sensed that the long hera.ded Ger
man offensive had started. People soon
began to cluster around the churches
and on the roofs OF the taller buildings,
where they could see the whole eastern
heaven in a blaze OF flame.
As details OF the new battle began to
arrive II was seen that the enemy had Sc
lected a world old battlefield for his
latest effort--the same battlfeld where
the great Hun. Att!la, met disaster.
This fact was commented upon by many
Parisians.
Rheims. which seems to have escaped
in the rrst day OF the new battle. forms
rather a pronounced salient into the
enemy line. Behind the city lies an ad-
mrable natural bastion formed by the
forset clad Montague de Rheims. which
divides the capital of Champagne from
Epernay. Eastward from Rheims to the
wooded hills OF Argonne there stretches
one OF the most uninteresting sections OF
France.
Some OF the longest. straiEhtest roads
in France traverse this poorly populated.
softly undulating chalky region, which
was the scene OF the French offensive
in 1916. The only high ground in the
district Is the cluster OF hills around
Moronvtllers.
The enemy Is now treating Paris much
as he did Verdun, in striking alternately
right and left Just az he struck first
on the right and then the left OF the
Meuse.
Military critics all point out that the
element of surprise was completely lack.
ing. For days past, they say. there was
constantly accommodating evidence OF al
| approaching offensive. French a!rmer
| for several days have reported concen-
trations back OF the enemy lines. and
| French guns have been busy fring oil

West Of Rheims, where part OF to-
days attack was delivered. the enemy
has before him broken, hilly country
which forms the northern half of the

LONDON, July 1.-THE renewal OF the
DaitY AuVs offer Of d $4,000 prize for
the nrst flight across the Atlantic has
aroused the greatest interest in British
aviation circles. The opinion is general
among experts that there ought to be no
great difficulty in making the flight with
machines Of the speed and carrying
capacity which have been developed as
a result Of the war.
Opinion here Is that the machine
which attempts the Night should have
at least two engines. so that the failure
Of one would not necessarily mean dis
aster. Unusual speed or climbing power
is unnecessary. the experts point out
since an average speed Of 100 miles an
hour and an average altitude of 1000
feet would be sufYicient.

turer Of famous large British bombing

I'VE could accomplish the flight across

ground that our present business Is to
