LETTER FROM DR.. JONES
Protesting Against Hog Raising i'll
The City of Cambridge.

Dr. Z. A. P. Jones, of this city
Deputy State. Health Officer. has
written to Dr. E E. Wolff, City
Health Officer. protesting against
the raising of hogs in Cambridge. DIR.
Jones, not only wishes to protest
against this nuisance as State
Health Official. but also as a citizen
of Cambridge. He thinks the grant
ing of this privilege would be a big
mistake.
The letter TO DR.. Wolff is as fol
lows:
Cambridge, Md, Mar. 25, 1918.
DR.. L. E. Wolff,
Town Health Officer,
Cambridge, Maryland.
Dear DR.. Wolff:
l understand that the question OF
raising hogs in Cambridge will be
considered by the Town Council al
their next meeting, March 27th. 1t
seems hardly possible that this sub
ject should again be considered in
Cambridge, hog raising having once
been prohibited after vote by the
people. The statement that hogs can
be raised in i town without danger
to the health of the people or offence
to the comfort may be true, but ii
never has been and never will be
done in such a manner To prevent
disagreeable odors and the breeding
of innumerable flies would require
solid, dry floors, daily removal oil
the manure from the pen and premi-
ses, and the screening against flies
of the whole pen. No person with
common sense believes that this can
or will be done in Cambridge. If the
regulations were made, the town has
no machinery with which to enforce
them
After much effort the fly nuisance
of Cambridge has been, for the past
two years, materially abated. Ty-
phoid fever in 1917 was at its lowest
known point in the history of Cam
bridge. The relationship between
flies and typhoid fever is generally
recognized. The presence of even a
dozen hog pens within the limits OF
Cambridge will largely increase the
fly nuisance.
Sanitary conditions in Cambridge
are far from satisfactory. To add
another lot of nuisances which are as
offensive, even if not as dangerous
as its numerous insanitary privies
would be endangering, not only the
good name of the town, but the
health and comfort of its citizens.
cannot protest too strongly against
favorable action on this measure.
Very truly yours,
E. A. JONES,
Deputy State Health Officer, Ninth
Sanitary District.

TEAM WORK IN TELEPHONING

In all telephone work, cooperation
is the keynote of good service. The SUBJ
scriber must help the operator

For instance, 5stlr telephone

Be slow to blame the operator for

In the first case, the operator cannot
force the party to answer; i'll the second,
she must wait until the called party,

CITY WINS: IN
STREET SUIT
c..a of Mira. Against the
CIV Comes Back to Superior Court
for a New Trial.

The city of Hendersonville gets q
new trial in the case of Mrs. M. 2. z.
Youmans against the city. This case
was appealed from the Superior court
bv the city when Mrs. Youmans was
awarded $500 damages, alleged to be
the result of negligence on the part
of the city in paving and grading
Fourth avenue.
The city denied the charge of neg
ligence and contended that the plain
tif's damage was due to the laying
of a pipe line from the city's culvert
through her lot and under her house,
by herself or her employees or her
predecessors in the ownership of the
lot.
The new trial is granted upon err
rors made by the Superior court
made in the trial of the case.
Mrs. Youmans was represented in
the Supreme Court by Judge Jones:
of Gastonia, Smith & Shipman and
Station & Rector. The city was repre-
sented by E. w. Ewbank.

ANNUAL COUNTY
COM MENCEM'NT
SUCCESSFUL
Animated Rivalry for Attractive
Prizes, Good Attendance; Exhibits
and Interest Quite an Educa-
tional Boost.

Another notable educational event
has gone down in Henderson county
history-the fourth annual county
commencement, which was the best
of all.
The commencement last Friday
was a complete success. The prizes
were many and the contestants were
we'll prepared for the interesting
tests. The attendance was large, the
behavior good, with nothing to MAI
the we'll prepared program.
The exercises opened with the ad-
dress of Rev. DR.. Harding, of Ashe-
vile, at the court house. He deliver
ed a thrilling patriotic address that
was heard with keen interest.
This was followed by the awarding
of seventh grade diplomas by Supt.
w. S. Shitle to quite a large number
| of those finishing the course. Follow
ing this came the intermission for
dinner and then the choral contests.
A pleasing feature of the program
were the numbers rendered at vari-
Gus intervals by the Tuxedo quartet.
An interesting musical feature was
the duet sung by Louise and Gardiner
Bly,, of the Rymer school. They
were heartily ancored and after
pleasing the audience so we'll in the
afternoon they were called for again
at night, when the applause was ever
greater than in the afternoon, when
they sang effectively the "Stars and
| Stripes Shall Wave Over Germany"
Prof. w. S. Shitle and Prof. G. w.
Bradshaw were each moved to hand
| the children a dollar and others fol-
lowed their course, resulting in a gift
of SO for the singers. Following
their delightful music at night a col
lection of $50 resulted for the Red
| Cross.
A strong feature of entertainment
was the spelling contest. Prof. A. J.
Hutchins, of Asheville, pronounced
the words to a class of about twenty
spoilers. They contested for about
two hours and spelled everything in
the book and yet there were two left
standing on the floor, Dollie Freeman,
of Liberty school, and Ted Ray, of
Valley Hill. The contest went on
until it looked as though they could
not be f1oOred and Prof. Shitle sug-
gested that they retire to his office
and resume a series of words in the
dictionary since the exercises was
much prolonged by reason of the
spelling ability of the children. The
young man in quite a gallant manner
stated that he would prefer to aban-
don the contest in favor of his op-
ponent and then the house roared
with applause. The girl reluctantly
accepted the offer and it is under,
stood that she divided with him hei
$40 prize, while he drew the SIS prize
for the second best speller.

He's "somebody's boy" that's gone

God, give him strength, j%ust>then.
We babe them goodbye and told

While we stay at home to WaCch

And pray God to bring them home.
But we must work while we wait,
while we pray as well,
For we want our boys to know,
That "The Home Fires r Burning"
here for them
AS they go to face that foe.
He is fighting for you, he is fighting
for me,
Whether he is your boy or no,
Can you then let him go unfed and
unkept,
In that far off land of woe?
We must do our bit in every way,
By giving and working too,
And when they return we can face
them and say,
eve worked and prayed for you"
So here's to our boys in khaki clad,
And here's to our boys in blue,
We believe in them all,
God bless the lads,
Three cheers for the red, white and
blue.

M'AD0O WILL MOVE FOOD
Asks Hoover to Name Location of Sup.
plies and He Will See They
Are Hauled.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Differences
between William G. McAdoo, director
of transportation, and Herbert Hoover,
food administrator, over the reason
for the delay Of food shipments to the
coast, reached a new climax on Fri
day. Mr.. McAdoo, in a letter to the
food administrator, called on him to
show where the food was. The letter
reads:
Dear Mr.. Hoover:
"You are, as l understand it, the sole
purchaser in this country, Of food sup
plies for the allied governments. You
must, therefore, know the location of
the food supplies which you from time
to time purchase and the ports in this
country to which you desire such sup
plies shipped. If you will notify me
from time to time Of the location of
the specific supplies and the port or
ports in the United States to which
you wish to have the supplies trans
ported, I will guarantee the necessary
transportation, subject alone to inter-
ruptions from blizZards and floods.
81 wish to reassure the country by
saying that so far as TRANSPORTATION IS
concerned, there is no danger of suf-
fering from a serious food shortage In
the eastern part Of the country.
"Cordially yours,
"W. G. MADOO."

EMERGENCY FARM HELP
Mineral Point High School Boys En-
list for Work.

The gravest apprehension is felt con
cerning food production this season.
The United States is called upon to fur
nish an immense amount Of food sup
plies to the allies and is at the same
time suffering from shortage of farm
labor caused by the drawing of 2, 900, 900
men for the army and the working Of
hundreds of thousands more in the in
dustries connected with the war. 1t is
absolutely necessary to put in, cultivate
and harvest the crops at the proper
time. Every foot Of soil should be cul-
tivated and made to produce it's maxi
num- Where is the farm labor coming
from?
The situation has been partially met
by plan authorized by the State De
partment Of Education whereby the
work in the Wisconsin high schools can
be arranged so as to release the boys for
farm work after April 18th. In the
Mineral Point high school more than 40
boys have enlisted for farm work.
Many of these boys are from the farms
and will return home to work. Others
will be available for service where most
needed. A special class has been form
ed for those boys who have not had
much farm experience and efforts will
be made to prepare them for practical
work and make them of greater service
to the farmer.
Farmers who will be short Of help
this spring and summer should take up
the matter at once with Superintendent
w. r. Rood.

RIDGEWAY ELECTRIC LIGHTED

The prosperous village Of Ridgeway,
ten miles east Of this city, is now lighted
by electricity, the current being turned
on last Saturday. The streets are sup
piled with twenty four lamps of largo
candle power, and over sixty homeg
have been wired and will now have the
convenience of electric lights. This is
big step in advancement and the
people of Ridgeway are to be congratu-
lated in their enterprise.
The light and power is supplied by
The Mineral Point Public Service Co.,
which has been very energetic during
the past few weeks, under the super
vision of the line foreman, Jack Shan
non, and the general manager, Alfred
Higgons, is pushing the work to COM
pletion. Every day these men have had
a force of workers digging post holes in
the five feet of frozen earth and have
overcome all difficulties in their efforts
to supply the current for the village at
the quickest possible moment. Over
500 poles were set in constructing the
line from Dodgeville to Ridgeway-The

SENATE PASSES
RAILROAD BILL
Administration Measure Is Ap-
proved by Viva Voce Vote.
WIDE POWERS FOR PRESIDENT
Cummins Amendment to Take Over
Short Line Roads Adopted-Gov--
ernment to Control Carriers 18
Months After War.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The admins
tration railroad bill passed the senate
on Friday by viva vOce vote.
Before passing the measure the sen,
ate adopted a resolution Of Senator
Cummins of Iowa directing the govern
representing an investment of $1,000
900 or more
This was practically the only change
Of Importance effected. On all other
points the administration forces held
firm.
Bill Grants Wide Powers.
The important provisions Of the bill
as passed in the senate are:
1. The president is TO fix the rate OF
compensation for the railroad owners
for the use of their property on the
basis Of their average earnings for the
years 1915, 1916 and 1917.
It is estimated this will involve the
payment by the government to the
owners of $95O,OOO,OOO each year.
An amendment by the committee to
reimburse the roads for improvements
made during the six months ended De-
cember 81, 1917, was rejected by the
senate. This would have made neces-
sary the payment Of about $15,0OO,OOO
additional
2. Rates for freight and passenger
traffic are to be initiated by the presl-
dent whenever advisable, but final jur-
isdiction in all rate changes rests with
the interstate commerce commission.
The original bill proposed by Direc-
tor General McAdoo would have given
the president supreme authority in the
matter Of fixing rates.
3. The control and operation of the
railroads by the government is to cease
at the end of Is months after the end
Of the war. AS originally presented to
congress the bill left the period to con-
troll open. The house billy fixed the time
limit at two years after the end of the
war.
Reject Proposed Changes.
More than q dozen amendments were
disposed of during the day. Hundreds
of short speeches were made under the
five-minute rule.
The bill now goes to the house,
where general debate on a similar
measure has practically closed, and
where almost q hundred amendments
are pending.
Senator Cummins' amendment af-
fecting the short lines was adopted
by IS to II.
One section of the bill allows the
president to buy and sell railroad Sc
curities and turn the proceeds over to
the revolving fund. Objections were
made to this by Senator Kirby Of Ar
kansas, who said it ''was dabbling in
stocks"
