CIRCULAR ON BLACkLEG

| A very important circular on black
leg has been issued by the Montana
Experiment Station. This circular is
written by Howard Welsh, vetArin-
arian, and gives very comprehensive
discussion of the disease which has
caused heavy losses in Montana.
The circular is number SO, and may
be had upon request to the experiment
Station.
The circular takes up in order the
following topics: nature of the dis
ease, cattle affected, when disease is
most prevalent, symptoms of black
leg, appearance after death, DISPOSE
tion of the carcus, diseases confused
with blackleg, what vaccine to use,
and how and when to vaccinate. The
text is illustrated by photos taken of
animals in various stages of the dis
ease, and by pictures of instruments
for vaccination and methods of vac
cination.

when you are up to your neyk in the

noon. The Freshmen and Sophomor-
esof the Montana State College
stretched a rope across the College
pond on the afternoon of October Is
and settled down to the job of pulling
one or the other side pthrough the
center of it. There was a gentleman S
agreement that the losing side should
carry through" and not let go the
rope at the first gasp.
The Freshmen got wet. After the
first Fresh hit the water it was all
over, for the water Immediately took
all the pull out of the men, and gave
the Sophomores power to pull them
across the pool. At that, the Fresh
men claim the Sophomores made it
slow pull so that they would have
to stay longer in the water

Miss Keller felt that the very blst
way she could do her bit by showing
the men that their handicap, and han

be overcome. From the time of her
arrival yesterday she spent every sec

There was an informal reception At

herself to talk years ago. Then thee

The dancing instructors at Ever

the first time and second to keep them
from being discouraged after their

But Miss Keller didn't mind colli-

the blind boys in preference and, If

EiSner, Obscure Writer,
Upset EurOpe'S Oldest
Family of SOVereignS

MUNICH. Feb. @5.-KUrt Eisner,
the assassiuated premier of the Ba
varian republic, perhaps was the most
meteorlikes personality of the new
Germany. Almost overnight from a
comparatively obscure journalist he
leaped to worldwide fame, eliminated
the House of Wittelsbach, the oldest
Tcigning family of Europe, and ses
up instead the Bavarian Peoples Re
public under his own dictatorship.
And Eisner was a Jew, and Bavaria is
the most purely Catholic and ultra
montana German state.
Eisner was born in 1867, in Berlin.
according to his friends; in GaIicia,
as his enemeis asserted, thus denying
TO him even the birthright of German
citizenship. lie first attracted public
notice in 1892 by a book on Nietzsche.
From 1890 to 1895 he was contribu-
ting editor of the Frankfurter Zeit-
ung. His writings were FIRST OF a
literary and aesthetic nature, until
one article, written against the
Kaiser. brought him a prison term
of nine months.
Was Turning Point.
This episode was the turning point
in Eisner's life. He left the bour-
geois press, became an ardent Social
list, and was appointed editor-in-chief
of the Vorwaerts, the main organ Of
German Social Democracy. In the
domestic quarrel of the party Eisner
sided with the so-caIled devisionists,
or moderates, who advocated gradual
through political means,
an even cooperation with the bour-
