When Cattle Lose Their Cuds' Its Time to
Investigate Their Health.

Although the relation of the
act Of chewing the cud to the
natural process OF digestion in
cattle is probably quite generally
understood, the United States
Department frequently receives
Inquiries concerning proper treat
ment for cattle which have "lost
their cud.' the impression ap-
parently being that the cud is
something which can mecharl-
cA1ly disappear, and when So lost
must be replaced. in order to re-
store the animal to health.
Illumination .of cattle chewing
their cud is a natural process in
connection with the digestion
Of cattle and other rumina1t ami
mails In rumlnants the food
when first taken into the stom-
ach is imperfectly chewed. and
is returned to the mouth for re-
luastication. This returned
ball of food is termed ''the cud.' -
So-called loss of cud, the
Department explains, is simply a
Suspension of chewing, frequent
ly one of the first indications OF
sickness in any kind of ruminant t
animal, since ruminauts general
Iy sop chewing the cud when
feeling out of condition. Any
condition affecting the general
heal h of cattle may result IN
Suspension of chewing, and there
IS almost certain to be an inter =
ruptlon of this process when
there IS any pronounced disturb
auce of digestion.
Placing Wads OF hay IN the
mouth, the use of all salt porks,
and similar methods for restoring
the cud are the outcome of local
perstijion and a lack of
knowledge concerning the diges
tive frocess of the COW. Instead
Of such treatment, an effort
should be made to determine the
exact nature of the illness affect
,ng the COW with a view to ap-
plying proper treatment.
1t may be confidently expected
with an approaching return of
the auinai to d state of normal
health, there viii oe a restora-

PRESIDENT Wilson ADDRESSES CONGRESS.
Announces His Intention to Go to Paris For
the Peace Conference.

ddolesS 10 congress IN joint seS'
sion today President Wilson
formally announced his intention
to go 10 Paris for the peace con-
ference, saying the allied coun-
tries have accepted the princi-
Piles enuciated by him for peace,
and it is his paramount duty to
be present.
The President said he will be
in close touch by cable and
wireless and that Congress will
know all that he does on the
other side. Referring to his an
nouncement that the French aud
British governments have re
moved all cable restrictions on
transmission of news of the con
ference to America, the Presi-
dent said he had taken over the
American Gable systems
on expert advice, so as to make a
unified system available.
He expressed the hope that he
would have the cooperation OF
the public and of Congress, say
ing through the cable aud wire
less constant counsel and advice
would be possible.
Much of his address was de-
voted to the railroad problem,
for which the President said he
has no solution TO offer He re-
commended a careful stuoy by
Congress. saying it would be
disservice to the country and to
the railroads to permit a return
to old conditions under private
management, without modifca-
tions.
The President declared he
stood ready to lease the rail-
roads from the government con-
troll whenever a satisfactory plan
of readjustment could be worked
out.
The Presi d e n t said he
hoped to see a formal declaration
of peace by treaty "by the time
spring has come"
No definite program of recon-
can be outlined now
Mr. Wilson said. but as soon as
the armistice was signed the gov
control of business and
industry was released as far as
possible. He expressed the hope
that Congress would not object
to comforting upon the war trade
board or some other agency the
right of fixing export priorities
to assure shipment of food to the
starving peoples abroad.
AS to taxation, the President
endorsed the plan for 1evying
s6, 900, 100000 in 1919 and for
notifying the public in advance
hat ths 1920 levy will b.. S4,-
900, 100000,
The new three year naval
building program was endorsed.
because the president said itw ould
be unwise to attempt to adjus5
the American program to a fu-
ture world policy as yet undeter-
mined.
Paying tribute to the peoples
conduct in war, he spoke particu-
larly of the work of women, and
against appeal for woman
suffrage by federal amendment,
Declaring he had no "private
thought or purpose" in going to
Europe, but that he regarded it
as his highest duty, the Presi-
dent added: 1T is now my duty
to play ms full part in making
good what they, American sold
1ers offered their life's blood to
obtain.
Democratic representatives
arose and applauded vociferously
when the President announced
his intention of going in person
to the :peace conference. The
Republican side was silent and
so were many of the Senators on
both sides of the chamber.
The President concluded after
speaking forty-two minutes. and
left the chamber amidst applause

This new big brother to the dips that
was the tallest and widest in the

Shouts of laughter coming SEEM

who come to Coney from some dis
tant point for the first time. The
laughter is coming from the high

soon learns and is as much a shout of
pure honest-to-Sam joy as it is laugh
ter. You will hear no giggling There
is too much fun for giggling. Born

Will Be Run AT The
Eagles Outing.

Motorcycle races will again be the
feature afternoon attraction at the
Eagles Outing July 4th This was
decided upon at the meeting of the
committee held Wednesday night.
1t was intended first to abandon this
former feature because the riders are
all in the draft age and it was feared
that there would be a scarcity of rid
ers. But it seems that all other
places where races are held took the
same view and in consequence none
of the tracks are to be open on the
4th and no place for the riders not
yet called to ride.
The purses offered heretofore were
always attractive to the riders and
many Of them have written and urg-
ing the local committee to hold races,
signifying their willingness to come.
The committee decided then to put
them on Offering the same big purses
so that Hamiltonians will have the
opportunity to see the best and fast
est riders in the country on the local
track July 4th
Malwyn Jones, the popular Leban-
on boy and Ray Crevason who did
such fast riding last year will be here.
"Chuck" Morrison, the fast Marion,
Ind. rider, Harry Hynes and several
others from Terre Haute, Don Marks
known as the Akron Demon and many
others will be here.
In addition to the races many at
fractions and amusements will be
provided. At night the finest patri-
otic fireworks display ever seen on the
local grounds will be shown. Many
outside aeries have notified the COM
mittee of their coming and it is ex-
pected that an enormous crowd will
be present.

damental right of democracy is at

dication of what action he intends

Mooney was convicted of murder
in connection with the preparedness

Today's developments take from the

much time for the last two years and
has attracted international attention.
Organizations as far distant as Rus
sia have sought to intervene in Moon
ey's behalf.
Moneys fate now rests with Gov
ernor Stephens, who has pardon pc
tition before him and a request from
President Wilson for executive elem
ency based on findings of a federal
commission that questioned testimony
which contributed to Moneys convi-
ton.
Mooney was convicted in February,

nulliied because an appeal was pend

ton arrived

How to Keep Your Frlenda

It is almost impossible to be genuine
ly friendly with person who insists
on being too close to you, on knowing
all your thoughts, feelings and affairs,
and on claiming your time and atten-
tion on the excuse of affection alone.
The bonds of true friendship must
be easy and its demands must be for
something real and vital. The woman
who calls on you perpetually because
she has taken sudden fancy to you is
blind and selfish egotist, in a mild
way. Her calls may interrupt your
work and bore you intensely, but II you
are a polite and courteous person you
bear with her until she directs her at
tention elsewhere. She will probably
tell the new friend that you are ''very
unresponsiye." Some women clutch at
every new acquaintance and then COM
plain that they have so few friends.
The reason is that friendship is not
built on trivialties and whims, but by
giving such valuable things as true con-
sideration, real interest and manifest
Ing a decent reserve as to the other
PERSONS confidence and nonconfidings.

President Wilson Again Inercedes Cases Come Before Th
American Federation Of Labor Convention

Washington, ID. president Viii
son has written a second letter to Gov
ernor Stephens, of California, urging
the pardon of Thomas J. Mooney.
The President asked for clemency
for Mooney in March, but Governor
Stephens replied that he could not act
until an appeal for the convicted man
had been passed on by the courts. The
courts have refused the plea
San Francisco, CAL Judge Giffin
has again resentenced Tom Mooney to
the gallows. He is to hang within 80
days and not less than SO days from
the date sentence was pronounced.
The court did notcomment on the case
and confined its remarks to the bare
legal phrases, handing Mooney over
to the state hangman.
After judgement had been passed
Mooney issued a statement in the
shape of a telegram to Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor After thanking or
ganized labor for it's efforts in his be-
half, Mooney stated:
The spirit of prejudice and igno-
rance may succeed in encompassing
my death and the ruin of my character
for the time being, but the mighty
power of truth and fact, as expressed
in those mute photographs of the roof
of my home, showing Mrs. Mooney
and myself a mile and a half away
from the scene of the tragedy cannot
be answered.
NThe Oxman perjury letters and the
evidence of the Oakland police inn
peaching the very foundation of the
prosecutions case can never be erased
and they stand silently awaiting the
hour of temperate and reasonable
judgement.
Against this bulwark of truth and
fact, District Attorney Fickert and
his coconspirators may for time
prevail, but with the unrelenting un-
certainty of destiny itself their day of
judgement by an unprecedented people
is coming.
In urging you to place this whole
matter before the coming convention
of the American Federation of Labor,
am mindful that in this hour of
worldwide titanic struggle life of a
mere bubble in the vast ocean But,
nevertheless, feel that great fun
