Allies in Nowise Bound.

Premier Orlando reiterated that the
treaty of London did not prevent the
allies from considering the Fiume
question from the Italian viewpoint.
and that, moreover, the allies had ad-
mttted they were in nowise bound re-
earding Fiume, since they considered
themselves capable Of agreeing to the
freedom Of the city.

he said, that the alliance shall not
be broken up. We wish to remain
loyal to it for the sake of the solemn
pledge which binds our word of
honor, but still more for the holiness
of blood shed in a common cause"
After paying tribute to all the al
lied soldiers the premier continued:

pies, above all the American people.

CHOICE OF BUT TEN STATES.

New York state had no part in the election OF
the first president of the United States. For some
years following the establishment of the federal
government the legislatures of most of the states
chose the presidential electors the people voting
for them only indirectly, their choice being ex-
pressed by their votes for legislators. deadlock
between the senate and the assembly prevented
the selection of electors from New York state.
Rhode Island and North Carolina had not yet
ratified the Constitution. SO Washington was
elected the first time by the votes Of only ten OF
the 13 states
New York city was the scene of the first inaugu-
ration. however. Washington took the oath on
the portico of Federal hail. the present site Of
the subtreasury, Mt Wall and Nassau streets April
80, 1875. Immediately following this ceremony he
retired within the building and delivered an adj
dress TO congress. which met in Federal hall in
those days. John Adams, the second president,
also addressed congress in person. but Jefferson
broke the custom which President Wilson has re-
vived. Jefferson stigmatized that form of address
as inonarchical and put his message in writing

old tomb was disadyantageously situated on the
side of hill which was subject to landslides.

DAIRY
FACTS
TO ELIMINATE SCRUB BULLS
Interesting Figures Brought Out by
Department Of Agriculture in Sew
erai Sections.

tPrepared by The United States Depart

mat the need of pure-bred bulls is
urgent in many parts of the country
is evident from the facts brought out
by the United States department of
agrieuiture's study of eight districts
IN the states Of Iowa, Minnesota and
Massachusetts in which there were no
associations. In this survey informa-
ton was obtained regarding 1919
farmers owning 817 bulls whose aver
age value was SIC. Had the owners of
these cheap bulls been properly organ

toned nearly four times as many bulls
were used as would have been required
under proper organization. The farm
ers were therefore feeding four bulls

only one.
Data from one of the first bull asso.

lustrate this very well. Before the
association was formed the bulls in
use had an average market value OF
$50. The average price paid by the
association for registered bulls was
$40. Price does not always CORE
spond to value, yet as the bulls were
carefully selected the price In this
case fs doubtless a fair index Of true
worth. In this association each farm
er's investment for a share in good
registered bull was $14 less than his
former investment in an animal Of in
ferior breeding and doubtful merit.
Actual first-cost figures from other
cooperative bull associations are even
more encouraging. In one association
having more than 100 members the
original cost to each lmember was only
$2S. The members already have had
the use OF good pure-bred bulls for four
years and probably will have their use
six years longer without additional
cost other than for maintenance. An.
other association with more than SO
members has had the use of good pure
bred bulls for more than seven years
at an average investment Of less than
SIS q member, with prospects Of be-
ing able to use them for three or four
years more. Practically all dairymen
desire to raise pure-bred cattle, but
comparatively few can afford individ-
uaiIy to purchase such bulls as are
needed to develop a profitable pure
bred herd. The bull association over.
comes the difficulty, and the money
saved can be used toward the pur.
chase Of registered females.
When questioned regarding the value
OF cooperative bull associations, 100
farmers In Maryland, Michigan and
Minnesota estimated that the use of
bulls belonging to the organization in.
creased the value of the offspring In
the first generation from 80 to 80 per
cent, with an average of IS per cent.
Usually In business transactions In
which there is probability of great
gain there is d possibility of heavy
loss, but in bun associations the
chances Of profit are excellent. with
little probability Of loss. The invest
ment is so small and the chance for
herd improvement so great that the net
returns greatly exceed the small orig
inal investment.

FAR "A
ANIMALS
HALT HOG CHOLERA RAVAGES
Farmers Should Insist on Animals
Being vaccinated by compe-
tent Veterinarian.

prepared by the United States Depart
! ment of Agriculture.)
Farmers should insist that all the
stock hogs which they purchase for
! feeding purposes should be properly
| vaccinated by competent and consci-
entious veterinarians in order to pre-
vent the spread of hog cholera. I'm
like the larger stock yards of the coun-
try, which are properly protected by
qualified government Representatives,
many of the smaller local yards are en-
tirely without safeguards against
cholera.
Immature hogs go from the farms Of
origin mainly because of lack of feed
or ON account of disease. The pur-
chaser who buys such sick hogs on
the market for feeding purposes usual
ly introduces disease into his home
herd. TO stimulate production and
to conserve our available pork supply
none but vaccinated, immuniZed
healthy hogs should be maintained in
the feed lot. If the farmer wishes to
aid in increasing food supplies, he
should help increase our hog supply
by routing disease.
The practice of buying hogs from
public stock yards for feeding and
stocking purposes, custom which has
has to large degree complicated the
work of controlling hog cholera. In
many cases, owing to improper equip
ment for immunization and disinfec-
ton of hogs, new centers of infection
have been introduced in communities
the movement of hogs from public
stock yards having no supervision by
state or federal authorities and where
treatment for the prevention of chol-
era is not compulsory is serious
handicap in the fight to prevent the
spread of infection.
Some losses have resulted from
shipments of stocker hogs even when
originating at public stock yards hav-
ing government inspection, particular.
~ in the early beginning of extensive
movements OF these animals for feed
ing purposes. Several factors were
responsible, such as improper equip
ment for immunization and disinfec-
ton, insufficient doses of serum for
hogs exposed to infection, the appli-
cation of treatment promiscuously by
anyone chosen by the buyer Of the
hogs, and the use of the serumalone
treatment, which produces an immuni-
ty of very short duration. These are
proofs positive that ''haste makes
waste" but these Objectionable fea-
lures are being overcome. Where
proper equipment is being installed,
dosage of serum increased and the
treatment placed in the hands of COM
petent veterinarians, losses occurring
In shipments of this character have
been reduced to a minimum.
There is reason to believe that with
the various agencies In each state,
such as county agents and farm bu-
reaus, interested In the increased pro-
duction Of meat animals, system Of
exchange could be established to bring
together farmers with surplus of
hogs and no feed and those having
more feed than hogs, with view Of
having the transfer of these animals
effected locally and avoid the long and
dangerous journey to public stock
market and back to farms 0ftentimes

KONENkAMP HAS CALLED OFF
GREAT TELEGRkPhERS STRIKE

Chicago.-The strike Of telegraphers
was called off by 8. J. Konenkamp,
president Of the Commercial Telegra-
piers Union of America. =.
President Konenkamp called of the
strike after he had conferred with
other officials Of the union.

bers of the organization by President
Konenkamp read tin part: -:
when the present strike was de-
clared against the telegraph companies
under control Of the wire administra-
ton. 1t was understood 1t would not
be made an endurance contest. The
strike was to be the final protest
against the unfair and unjust treat
ment we have received since August,
1918, at the hands Of the wire admin
istration.
I'VE realized that in order to make
this protest effective 1t would be nec-
essary to make the strike sufficiently
acute to compel action. This does not
seem possible now, either through our
efforts or the efforts OF others we re-
lied upon to help US. Acting upon
this conclusion and with a view to
rving your best interests. hereby
declare the strike at an end, ana you
ther delay. You have made gallant
struggle for your rights as American
