DOWNS HOG CHOLERA
Mohlcr Tells Secretaries Agriculture
How Kansas Did 1t.

Chicago. Nov. 11.-How Kansas
thru scientific treatment, conquered
the hog cholera-an undertaking in
which the Sunf1ower State was recog-
nized as a pioneer-was told by J. c.
Mohler, secretary of the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture. in an address
before the National Association of
State Commissioners and Secretaries
of Agriculture here Monday night.
1t was pointed out by Mohler that
in former years hog cholera wiped out
herd after herd of Kansas hogs. 1t
has been estimated by agricultural
authorities that losses from the disease
in a single year in the United States
have amounted to $4,000, 900. Sec
retary Mohler said in part:
Under cooperative arrangement
with the federal bureau of animal in
dustry and the State Agricultural Col
lege centered about the states live
stock sanitary commissioner very de-
cided headway has been made in con-
trolling hog cholera in Kansas, even to
the extent that many now believe it
to be possible to practically eliminate
this dreaded disease entirely The sig
nificance of this may be the better
appreciated when it is understood that
hog cholera j about the only bar to
profitable pork production"

YEAR OF DELUSIONS
France Didn't Find Marvellous Changes
Expected With Peace.
BY CARL A. RANDAU.

Paris. Nov. 1.-THE change from
ar era of glory and suffering and he
roics to the prosaic matter-of-fact
daily routine of earning a living has
been far too abrupt for the people of
~-ance.
zn fundamentally was the life of
r.sery paan, woman and child of
Tran3S affected by the long strug-
gle that the one year since the
signing of the armistice has proved to
he too short time for the readjust-
nent of the mental processes. In their
minds. the people are living over the
terrible days between August, 1919.
and November. 1918. In many cases
the people cannot realize that the war
is really over. Such a great world
revolution has proved too unusual to

who played the greatest part in the
change.

izsd. The men no longer wear their
uniforms The heroes of last year,

gagged in uninteresting tasks, such as
driving street cars, tending crops or
selling ribbons. To all outward ap-
pearances, Paris IS a city of civilians.
Very few men in either the uniforms
of France or the allies are to be seen
on the boulevards. But the change
from horizon blue and puttees to ci
william clothes has not been accom-
panied by a complete mental demobili-
zation.
A very noticeable letdown in human
effort has marked the past year. This
has been especially true among the
wome enz-the mothers and wives of the
lighters Many women who endured
wars hardships without complaint
and with unceasing work have been
compelled to take long rests, many
even have been sick Y ever since the
war strain was SO suddenly removed.
Statistics show that the number oe
women treated in French hospitals
was much greater during the year fol-
lowing the armistice than during the
year preceding the armistice.
The cost of living has not ceased to
mount. Practically every article of
food and clothing is much more ex-
penslve than year ago. The public
which had so long expected prices to
decrease when the fighting ended has
been sadly disillusioned. Now it is

stay.
The supply of coal is stated to be
less than during the war The strikes
thruout Europe have SO thoroly tied
up the production of coal that no
country will be really plentifully sup
piled.
The drop in French exchange, which
has reduced the franc to a rate never
reached in recent history has added
greatly to the nations hardships The
decline in the exchange rate has been
more or less regular. the monthly de-
cline averaging between so centimes
and 10 centimes per month, since the

Paris is more populous than ever.
Even thruout the war the capital was
constantly crowded, but the disappear

diers who used to help augment the

astated regions Many of these latter
were refugees in the south of France
during the war, but have now moved
to the capital. Great numbers oil
civilian foreigners are also replacing
the allied soldiers. During the war
the population was kept down some
what because of the proximity of the
Germans and because of the air raids
and 1ong-range guns Since the re-
novaI of all such dangers all Parisians
have returned to their city homes Old
time residents say that Paris was new
er before SO crowded as at present.
The revival of the life of Paris has
been accompanied to a very marked
extent by the reopening of many
stores closed during the war
Fairs circuses, race and automobile
shows are having their first produc-
tions'' since 1913 and 1914. With the
resumption of the more nearly normal
life, the means of transportation have
been improved. The auto-bus lines
which were practically suppressed
during the war have resumed opera
ton, the subways have returned to
pre-war hours, the restrictions have
been removed from taxi-cab services
Incidentally the number of privately
owned automobiles in use has grown
immensely
For the first time in more than five
years, new buildings are being con-
structed thruout Paris and France
The painting of buildings has also
been comm enced in wholesale fashion.
Foreign trade has been resumed to
limited extent.
Frances production is at a mini
mum She has very little to send out
of the country but needs nearly every
thing. Trade with Germany has been
renewed TO a considerable extent. 1t
is very noticeable that the threats of
French merchants that they would
never again deal with Germans have
already been forgot to a very start
ling degree.
The year since the armistice has
been one of increased matrimony.
During the war the annual number of
French weddings fell off over SO per
cent. The rehabilitation of the army
has been followed by a tremendous
revival in marriages. A nationwide
campaign encouraging marriages and
child-rearing is now being carried on.
No less a person than Clemenceau is
advocating larger families as Frances

position.

wage level and standard of life, the
first twelve months of peace have
demonstrated time and again how deep
this transformation is, how the ma
tion's outlook on life has altered.
In Flanders and France. English
men of all ranks and classes unwit-
tingly got themselves made over-in
their ways of thinking. their personal
discipline. and their capacity for do
ing things.
The past year has shown their de-

At home, conditions and customs.
industrial instruments and methods
had been moving, too. Towards the
end of the war. some two million
Americans in England for varying
periods, helped move things a little
further.
Not until all was over and the pros
pect arose of taking up the old peace
time pursuits again, did England real
iZe how much it had changed. A large
part of the population decided then
they did not want to go back to the
old.
So the reconstruction of the out

New Engineer With
Kopac Bros. Closes
Some Big Contracts

Well known civil engineer with
Kopac Bros, John c. Mcdonald,
who holds United States federal en-
gineer's certificate No. 8l88. is head
of the new department created by
Kopac Bros, the we'll known trac-
tor, truck and automobile supply
people of Nebraska.
Mcdonald is an engineer of wide
experience in excayating, earth
moving, surfacing, paving and grad
ing. He was in charge of the con-
struction work in one of the Pana-
ma canal zones and also special con-
sulting engineer on the staff of the
White company of Cleveland, O..
being responsible for specifications
on dump bodies, concrete mixer in
stallations, gravel digging and grad.
ing installations, steam shovel
trench digging machines, paving,
concrete mixers and other types of
installation where White trucks
with the special equipment were
used as part of the labor-saving ma
chinery for contractors use.
Mcdonald is an old man at the
game. Graduating at college at an
early age and being employed in
this line for the United States gov
eminent, foreign governments and
the White company for 20 years.
As an evidence that it pays to en-
ploy high-grade men, it is reported
that, although Mr.. Mcdonald has
been with Kopac Bros. only a short
time, that he has closed approxi-
mately 100000 worth of business in
paving equipment, contractors ma
chinery, etc, exclusive of White
trucks.

insurance up to date More than
five miles of files, are required to
hold these records.
Some idea OF the magnitude of
40,000,0O0.000 may be gained by fig
ures compiled by the actuarial Sec
ton of the bureau, showing that if
this amount were in dollar bills, end
to end, the line thus formed would
extend to the moon more than IA
times.
To July l there had been 1922
AS checks mailed. If these were in
line, end for end, they would ex-
tend 1891 miles. During the first
six months of 1919 there were more
than 100000 letters received by the
bureau. An army of correspond
ents is needed to take care Of the
great daily inflow of letters from
former service men seeking informa-
ton on all phases of war risk insure
ance.
Six Insurance Forms.
There are six permanent forms of
government insurance, as follows
1-Twenty-year endowment.
2Thirty-year endowment.
3-Twenty-payment life.
4-Thirty-payment life.
5-Endowment at age e..
6-Ordinary life.
Keep Insurance Up.
Applications are being received by
the bureau of war risk insurance
for changing the present term insur-
ance, which was issued at the time
of entering the service, into the per-
manent forms. The government, in
an effort to aid every man in keep
ing up his war risk insurance, has
made unusually liberal provisions
covering reinstatement of insurance,
where the former service man has
allowed it temporarily to lapse. In
this way every bit of insurance
which has been allowed to lapse
may be reinstated under the follow
ing provisions:
A--The applicant must be in as
good health as at the date of dis
charge, or at the date the insurance
lapsed, if lapse occurred after dis
charge, and must so state in the
signed application for reinstatement.
B-The application must be ac-
companied by a remittance to pay
the premium for the month of grace
during which protection was provid-
ed after discharge, and for the first
month on the reinstated insurance.

GIVE HERO MORE
Than BLESSING
and A PENSION
Old Custom Won't Do Now
adays, Says Rehabilitation
Expert - Make New
Man of Him.

New York, Sept. 27.-(Special.)--
r. b. Kidner. the vocational educa-
ton expert, loaned to this country
by Canada when the United States
was faced with the problem of re-
facilitating disabled soldiers, will
have charge of the work of rehabili-
tating tuberculous patients for the
National Tuberculosis association,
according to an announcement made
at general headquarters of that or
ganization today.
Mr.. kidner's program, a S out
lined by himself, includes three lines
of effort, all of which, he says, are
necessary to obtain the largest
possible measure of success. These
he gives as:
Vocational training of handicap
ped men and women; occupational
therapy for patients in institutions
and homes, and helping local author
tiles plan hospitals and sanatoria.
Pensions Won't Do.
In discussing his plans Mr. Kidner
said: What we learned in war is
SOiitS 10 DC great Hc1p Ill our
peace time campaign against tuber-
culosis. The greatest lesson of the
war was that much may be made of
disabled men. The old custom was
to give the disabled man small
pension and then, with God bless
you,' dismiss him as provided for.
Now we give him a larger pension
as starter and then develop his
remaining abilities so that he can
go back into the world and be self
supporting.
At Des Moines Meet.
Mr. Kidner will lay his plans be-
fore various sectional conferences of
anti-tuberculosis workers and sug-
gest methods of cooperation. After
attending conferences at Des
Moines, Ia, and Boise, Idaho, and
visiting some of the larger sanato-
ria on the Pacific slope he will take
an active part in the December drive
of the National tuberculosis asso-
citation and its 1000 affiliated organ
izations to raise working fund of
more than $6,500,000 by the sale of
Red Cross Christmas seals.
