County Clerk Markham assisted by

Judge Fuller of Holly canvassed the
vote of the recent primary election las.
week, but owing to the neglect to prop
erly fill out returns had to hunt up
some of the election officials and could
not complete their work until Monday
of this week. They found only few
very slight errors in the unofficial re-
turns which had been so carefully pre-
pared by the county clerk, and none
whatever that materially effected any
of the close contests. They had more

Republiean Committee Meets.

The meeting of the republican coun-
ty central committee and candidates
to organize for the ensuing two years
was held in Lamar yesterday. The
present chairman, NJ. ]. McMillin, who
has served the party so faithfully and
with such fairness and energy that he
has gained the just praise of the party
members in all sections of the county
during the two periods of four years
each that he has served, was requested
to stay on the job. But owing to the
distance from the county seat that he
lives, and the scarcity of labor on the
farm, he found it impossible to serve.
f. NJ. Wilson of Lamar was unanim-
ously elected to the position. As he
is out of town at present Mr.. McMil-
lin was asked to attend the state meet
ing and act for him. Mr.. Wilson has
proved in his own business and the
Liberty Loan drives and other matters
that he is thorough organizer and
effective worker. His fairness is well
known as well as his stanch republic
canism, and the selection of the meet
ing will meet with the hearty and
general approval of the party work
ers. Mrs. NJ. l.. Stewart was elected
vice-chairman and the selection of a
secretary left until Mr.. Wilson could
be consulted. All present at the meet
ing were enthusiastic over the pros
poets for the ticket this fall.

Prowers County Soldier Hurt.

There was bad train wreck in
Missouri on Wednesday when one SOL
dier train ran into another. and a long
list of killed and severely wounded
made il look worse than some of the
battles in Europe. We have been pre-
pared for heavy losses in battle and
even in travelling across the ocean, but
it does look as if sufficient care could
be taken of troop trains on this side
to avoid such losses, especially when
the government is running the trains
itself Twenty Colorado soldiers were
among the list of killed and seriously
wounded, and among these was the
name of X. Wyatt. Mr.. Wyatt was
well known here as he lived here some
years ago, but has for the past few
years been farming near Bristol. His
brother was in Lamar recently and he
said that his brother had been located
in Texas for some time, and in his
last letter was rejoicing that he was
soon TO be sent east.

One is by transferring soil to the new

have formed on the roots of the plants.
Care should be taken to keep the In
oculating soil out of the sunlight from
the time 1t is taken out of the old
field until 1t Is worked into the new.
A cloudy day or time early In the
morning or late in the evening should
be chosen for making the transfer.
Two hundred pounds or more of soil
should be used per acre and should be
narrowed into the soil Immediately
after scattering. Another method is
to inoculate the seed with artificial
cultures. In some states these cul-
lures can be obtained from state agen.
cies at nominal cost. Directions
for using the cultures accompany each

HOG CHOLERA CAUSED

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment of Agricuiture.)
The real cause Of hog cholera Is a
very small germ found in the blood or
urine. II may be said that anything
which tends to lower the health of the
animal. such as improper feeding, in
sanitary conditions of hog lots, damp
or cold sleeping places and dirty
drinking and feeding troughs may be
regarded as an indirect cause.
Since the disease can only be started
by the introduction of the germ into
the herd and the organism is always
present In the bodies of sick hogs and
is thrown off in the feces and urine,
the most dangerous factor IN spread
ing the disease is the sick animal.
1t may get into the herd by sick
hogs escaping from nelghboring herd,
by the purchase Of new stock not
showing symptoms, by returning show
hogs after visits to fairs or stockyards,
and by the purchase of hogs which APP
parently have recovered.
The symptoms are not constant and
uniform, therefore the disease cannot
always be diagnosed with absolute GER
tainty. Animals suffering from intes-
final troubles, indigestion and poison
ing exhibit symptoms which closely re-
semble those of cholera.
In the early stages hogs huddle to-
gether; have temperatures (105 to LOT
degrees 2. or higher); are consti-
pated; the feces often streaked with
blood; characteristic odor is pres
emit; and after the third or fourth day

Some Notwithstanding bacteria are

fact that In the process Of harvesting
