master criminal as barrier behind
which he might hide and beat back his
pursuers. But American boys and
English boys and French boys broke
down that barrier, and they have to-
day arraigned that criminal at the
worlds bar Of justice, where he Is be-
ing tried for his crimes. The Ameri-
can people are a part of the jury that
is trying him, and have tried to pre-
sent but small fraction Of the evil
dence against him.
1t is safe to say that the verdict may
be left with the American people, with
the French people, with the English
people, with the Belgian people, and
that they will sentence the Boche to
pay and pay and pay for several gen.
eratlons until there has been bred out
Of him and his children that idea that
might is right and that he can over
throw the civilization and the free
dom of the world to crafty his own
selfish purposes.
The crime Is greater than the Boche
can ever pay for. 1t Is really greater
than the world will ever know, and the
items in the long account of the crimi-
nal record of Germany will never all
be recorded.

SYMPTOMS OF HOG CHOLERA

If hog has cholera. says DR.. o. S.
Crisler Of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture, one or more of
the following symptoms will appear,
depending upon whether the disease
is acute or chronic: Loss of appetite,
partial or complete; sluggishness, ly-
ing in dark and secluded places;
gaunt, unthrifty appearance and
roughened hair; difficult breathing,
commonly called "thumps",~ if the
lungs are affected. Some animals
have cough. Diarrhea occurs if the
intestines are affected; but in some
cases the sick hogs are oonstipated,
and drop hard, lumpy excretions,
sometimes covered with mucus or
blood. A discharge of mucus from the
eyes and nose is often observed; and
the eyes may be glued shut. The
movements are unsteady, the gait is
weak and wabbly, especially in the
hind legs. The animal often reels
when trying to walk. A dark red,
blue or purpleish discoloration of the
skin onsthe under parts of the body,
abdomen, neck and inside the thighs,
is frequently seen in acute cases.
When the disease is acute, death may
occur in from four to seven days; and
in some outbreaks the attack may be
so virulent that hogs are found dead
before the owner knows there is sick
ness in the herd. At other times the
disease takes ON chronic form and
the animals may linger for weeks, or
death may occur in an infected herd
from time to time over a period of
several months.
In case of doubt in the diagnosis, as
when the foregoing symptoms are not
well developed, post-mortem exam
ination should be made. If pig
which has died quite recently is not
available, sick one should be slaugh-
tered and the carcass carefully exam
ined for LESSONS Of cholera.

WHERE ARE THE
M0THER-LODES?

jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 27.-Some-
where in South Missouri, possibly in
a remoted and unexpected portion of
the Ozarks, are the mother-lodes of
gold and silver from which come the
traces of these precious metals en-
countered in the zinc, lead and copper
ores of st. Francois, Madison. Jeffer-
son, Ste. Genevieve, Frankling and
Washington counties. Interest has
been revived in the exact location of
these main veins of gold and silver
through the recent official recognition
of Missouri as a gold-producing State
by the Director of the United States
mint.
The Missouri Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, William H. Lewis, Commission
er, was officially notified today by M.
M. Reilly, Acting Director United
States Mint, Washington, d. c., that
the fifteen ounces of gold credited in
1913 to Missouri came from Southeast
Missouri, it being recovered from
zinc skim and matte, shipped east to
one Of the larger smciters of the coun-
try.
For the reason that the statistics
of the United States Mint are collect
ed annually with the understanding
that the gathered information will on
ly be publicly used in aggregate COM
pilations, the Federal Department was
not at liberty to divulge further facts.
In his reply to the Bureau of Labor
letter requesting details pertaining to
the Missouri 1918 gold production,
Acting Director Reilly of the United
States Mint, in addition to what is
impaired above, wrote:
at is probable that the (Missouril
gold is solely an incidental by-pro-
duct"
Biologists are of the opinion that
portions of the gold and silver lodes
from which Missouri's supply of these
precious metals originated were taken
up by volcanic disturbances, mixed
with lead and zinc, and carried many
miles by subsequent upheavas to
Southeast Missouri. The same is
probably true concerning the copper,
nickel and cobalt deposits of the same
Ozark counties. Copper is more plen-
tiful than either gold or silver in GER
tain Missouri lead and zinc ores, and
somewhere in the Ozarl1s is the moth
er-lode of this metal. Only three
States produce nickel and cobalt in
paying quantities. Missouri being one
of them.
The gold credited to Missouri was
purchased by the Director of the
United States Mint at 500 an ounce,
the fifteen ounces bringing $500.

LEAD BELT LAND COMPANY
SUED FOR TAXES ON LANE

Collector Albright this week,
through his attorney, filed another big
suit for the collection of delinquent
taxes. This week the victim is the
Lead Belt Land Company and their
entire holdings of more than $4,000
acres of land in this county are in
volved.
The Lead Belt Land Company has
had a somewhat checkered career dur
ing recent years. 1t has probably
been a number Of years since it was
entirely square with the county in
the matter of taxes, but it has kept
ture and leniency of the collector have
kept it from being sued. Some of the
county school districts derive a large
part of their revenue from these
lands and in the case of non-payment
of taxes their school terms are consid-
erably shortened Probably over half
the school districts of the county con-
tain within their limits lands belong
ing to this company.
A few years ago the company made
an effort to locate homescekers on
their land here. Men and women from
the cities and from Kansas and Iowa
were brought here and several tracts
sold. At the time there was much talk
Of Misrepresentation and fraud and
threats were freely made of suits
against the company for fraud. AS
most of the tracts sold were on a par
tial payment plan, few if any were
paid for.
Some of the land sold has agricul-
tural possibilities though most of it is
rough and practically worthless from
an agricultural standpoint A few
pieces have pretty good timber,
though the timber thieves have strip
ped most of it.
B. Riggs of Cameron is president of
the company. He is probably the
principal stakeholder. Kansas City IN
terests hold a mortgage which local
men say is larger than the value of
the land. As the owners are resi-
dents of the State no newspaper pub
LEGATION is necessary, but if the taxes
are not paid a judgment for the
amount of the taxes will be taken at
the March term of the circuit cours
and the lands then advertised for sale.
1t is not thought likely, however,
that the holder of the mortgage will
permit the suit to progress very far.

DRY CURE FOR HAMS,
SHOULDERS AND BACON

Meat cured with this formula has
been found palatable and sweet. after
several years, says L. E. McGinnis of
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture.
To each 10 pounds of meat use 8
pounds of salt, 8 pounds of warm sy-
rup, (any good syrup can be used) 2
ounces Of saltpeter, 3 ounces of black
pepper and 2 ounces of red pepper.
All these ingredients should be thor
oughly mixed together. 1t will first
lump and darken. When these Jumps
are rubbed out the ingredients are
ready to be rubbed in the meat and
should make coating over it. The
syrup causes it to stick.
The meat can be put into barrel or
box, or be piled on the floor or Ia
bic. There will be drainage which is
pest taken care of in barrel or tight
box. Leave the meat six weeks in the
cure and the extra heavy pieces a
week longer. If you wish to smoke
it, take it right out of the pile and
bang it in the smoke house without
Washing. Smoke it until you get the
required color over not too hot fire.

Can the American reader imagine
transforming the fertile fields and
prosperous villages and towns and
cities in states like New York, Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Wisconsin,
Texas, or any other Of the rich agri-
cultural states Of the Union into an
uninhabited desert?
That Is what the Boche did to the
Somme country Of France. Before
the war this section of France was
looked upon as one of the most pro-
ductive sections Of the world. 1t was
covered with fertile farms, splendid
fruit orchards, thriving villages and
towns and prosperous little cities.

Why Germany Should Pay.
Think Of what it would mean should
the Boche go through any one of our
own agricultural states and commit
the same terrible depredations. Would
we not say that he should pay? And
can we afford to say anything less for
the farmer Of France than we would
say for the farmer of America? No,
the American ideals of today, the
ideals which the stricken peoples of
Europe are striving to make their
ideals, demand justice for all wherever
and whoever they may be, and Amer
lea can do no less than demand the
same reparation for the French farm
er that she would demand for the
American farmer under such circum-
stances.
There Is :othlng living today on
those Somme fields. There is nothing
but stumps and the battered and torn
remains Of what were once prosperous
towns and cities. These and the
graves Of almost countless thousands
Of soldier dead-some of them Ameri-
can soldier dead-are all that Is left
to indicate that man ever passed that
way; all that is left to indicate that

the desert 1t now appears.

py, contented, thrifty people, who
TILED the soil Of their fertile acres and
gathered the fruit Of their orchards as
their forefathers had done for many
generations.
Upon the farms of this valley all of
France depended for much of its food
stuffs, for Its bread. It's meat, Its fruit,
and year after year these fertile acres
and these thrifty, Industrious people
had met the expectations of France In
the matter Of food production.
And then came the Boche with his
dreams Of conquest and of loot, and
for four years this valley Of the
Somme was battle-ground. with mil
lions of men struggling backward and
forward across 1t. those on the one
side seeking the selfish purpose Of
world domination and destruction and
those opposed seeking the preserva-
ton of freedom and liberty and world
civilization.
No Evidence Of Many Villages.
The American people, and especially
those of the rich agricultural states Of
the North or South, Of the East or
West, can look about them at their
own happy and prosperous communi-
ties and easily picture in their minds
the Somme section Of France before
the war. But 1t Is impossible to pic
ture that same section as 1t Is today.
1t is impossible to put into words the
terrible devastation that has been
wrought because of the ambitions and
lust of selfish people.
Every one of the two or three hun
dreds of thriving farm villages are
gone, the great majority Of them gone
so completely as to leave no evidence
that they ever existed; the material OF
