a fad. A child should know about his

learning anything about the rest Of the
world. Bookkeeping was once con-

bad spelling throughout the country,

that we all learn to add columns-thar
It was impossible for many to do this
satisfactorily. He especially liked the
school room which was filled with
chalk dust showing pupils and teach

And last but not least he spoke OF

discipline did not mean absolute quiet,

quiet was not discipline. One Of the

Action in Keeping Out Dread
Disease

Hog Cholera is still prevalent in
the vicinity of Donnelly, there being
about twelve cases in that neighbor-
hood. A few cases have also been
reported in other parts of the coun-
ty, according to County Agent Nash.
The disease is, also developing in
some Of the adjoining counties, as
well as in a number of other coun-
ties in this state.
If this dread scourge is to be con-
trolled it will require the united &C
ton and cooperation Of the farmers
with the local veterinarians and the
Farm Bureau office, which will act
in the matter Of control and in the
matter of determination Of the dis
ease.
Cholera is spread by germs being
carried from infected herds to
healthy herds in several ways.
Sometimes by pigeons and crows,
and more often by dogs or persons
going from one herd to another. The
spread can be controlled only by CO.
operation in reporting sick hogs t.

HOUSEHOLDS OF CITY
VERY LOW ON SUGAR
Conditions Not Expected to Improve
Much for Several Months
Yet

With the exception Of families who
were fortunate enough to buy their
sugar in quantities several weeks
ago, Morris households are run
ming extremely low on sugar sup
plies. For the past month there has
been marked shortage in the supply
here and every grocery store in the
city has been unable to supply GUS
toners for many days at a time.
According to the wholesalers two
factors are causing the shortage, one
being the car shortage which delays
transportation Of western beet sugar,
the other being the fact that the
Cuban sugar crop has not been mar
keted in the states. It Is expected
that when the beet sugar crop does
arrive the prices are likely to be
slightly higher unless action is taken
by the government to prevent an In
crease. There will be q shortage OF
cane sugar until next year. accord
