Hog Cholera Appears Again.

According to report from DR.. S.
G. Dreppard, Government veterinar-
ian on Hog Cholera Control and
Eradication Work for the State of
Missouri, Cholera is beginning to ap-
pear again in certain localities and
counties, due to the fact that Mis-
souri, has had practically no cholera
in the last six months, and the farmers
have neglected to vaccinate their
spring pigs, thinking cholera had dis
appeared. If the farmers would con-
tinue to cooperate for another year
or two like they have the past two
years we would soon free our coun-
try of cholera, by vaccinating all
hogs, disinfecting premises, burning
all dead hogs Gas we'll as animals that
die) Cholera germs after lying
dormant or inactive for few months,
naturally become weaker or not SO
virulent, so when your pigs become
infected with weak germ of cholera,
the symptoms are misleading to lots
of hog raisers as your pigs may just
begin to thump little, eat one meal
and miss one, cough some, the hair
begins to stand out from the body,
begans to guant; maybe one will die
after few days to two or three
weeks. "Look Out" if your hogs are
unvaccinated, for just as soon as the
cholera germs re produce themselves
in these pigs the hogs infected from
these pigs, will take on the virulent
form of cholera, and die fast. Then
in most cases vaccination is too late
Don't vaccinate to save all your sick
hogs for vaccination in all cases and
diseases both human and animal is a
preventive not cure, for l have in
vestigated dozens of cases where un-
satisfactory vaccination was reported
to me and will say in 80 per cent oi
such reports hogs were sick at the
time of vaccination, or had been done
by unskilled vaccinators. 1 have also
noticed getting qualified veterinar-
ians to do your treating of hogs was
cheaper in the long run. $50 DOM

A Ramble Among The Ozarks.
Nox Arcadiensis.l

(Vox Arcadiensis,)
If you have ever attended boarding
school you know how much free
day is appreciated, especially such q
one as we had on the Feast of All
Saints.
To usher in the day in aatting man
mer, we were allowed longer time
for sleep and oh, my dear, had you
heard all those joyful little snores
Sunday night, October thirty first,
you would have concluded that even
in dreams, each and every one was
enjoying foretaste of the morrow's
pleasures. All the fair young ladies'
appeared at the breakfast table with
smiling countenances and eyes beam
ing with the pleasure of anticipation
Nine O'Clock found the student
body assembled in the chapel with
hearts and minds lifted to God in
prayer, asking for share in the good
works of all the saints who are now
enjoying eternal happiness. After
Mass the girls entertained themselves
in various ways. There was basket
ball game between the Seniors AND
Juniors. The game was a close and
exciting one, and toward the ciose
became a real struggle. 1t ended III
favor of the juniors 12 to 13.
One feature of the day was the ex'
cellent dinner, which was savory
enough to tickle the palate OF any
healthy boarding school girl. At one
O'Clock there was a grand rush for
cameras. powder puffs, handkerchiefs,
pocket books, etc., before the bell
rang for our excursion to Shepherd
Mountain.
A little later we started joyfnlly or
our way accompanied by our chap.
erone who gave US instructions re-
garding the route to be followed
Greeks were crossed, hills climbed
and pastures were trespassed upoI
until at last, we came to the foot o.
Shepherd Mountain. We climbed
diligently until we reached struc'
ture known as the haunted castle
Here we hoped TO see ghosts ane
other hair raising spooks, but mucl
to our disappointment, nothing out 9
the usual transpired.

Court Upholds Deed in Meador Case.
(From the Greenville SUM-

Judge Huck rendered decision in
the circuit court at Pennington last
Tuesday in which he upheld the deed
made by the late j F. Meador and

in tho office of the recorder of this
county short time before the for
mer's death
The deed conveyed to the five
daughters of Mr. Meador the fine riv-

miles north of Greenville, and, ac-
cording to the terms of the instru-
ment, preciuded the two sons, attor-
ney ]. Frank Meador, of Craig, Colo
rado, and DIR. A. A, eMeador, of Flat
River, from any share in the farm.
Suit to set aside the deed was flied in
the circuit court here in June, 1918,
by DR.. Meador, who was joined in the
action by his brother, Frank, and al
80 by the heirs of deceased sister,
Mrs. VIM. Atnip. At the August term
of the circuit court the case was con
tinued until the February term, 1920,
when, on the application of the plain
tiff, change of venue was taken to

took the matter under advisoment

Consolidating State Bureaus.
missouri State Journal.)


If we may judge by the various an
nouncements of newly elected State
Senators and members of the Mis-
souri, House, great numbers of these
embryonic Republican statesmen are
deeply concerned in consolidating
various governmental bureaus. Both
houses will be flooded with bills pro-
posing to combine the functions OF
different bureaus and departments.
Ostensibly, the purpose of this move,
manifesting itself in so many direc-
tions, is to promote efficiency and
bring about economy in administra-
ton. So far, SO good.
1t is strange, however, that nearly
all of the bureaus affected are held by
appointees of Governor Gardner,
whose tenure of Office, under the
statutes, would ordinarily hold until
the expiration of their respective
terms, aud whose terms will not ex7
pire for months after Mr.. Hyde be-
comes Governor. Can it be that the
real purpose is to get rid of these
officials, simultaneously dismissing
all of their subordinate stats? We
wonder.
Another consideration in this be-
half which should not be overlooked
is whether it is proposed to con-
soiidate departments or bureaus, with
out material reductions in personnel
or salaries. If one department is to
annex the other Departments jobs,
the measure would not be consolida-
ton, but transfer, and would be 30
obviously for political effect as to
discredit the program in advance.
1t one bureau can properly absorb
the functions of another bureau, why
not let that bureau do all the work,
without continuing a lot of useless
jobs? This assumption is of course
based upon the notion that there is
some basis for the proposal to con-
solidate departments.

In Remembrance of Mrs. Isbell Wren.

Miss Isbell Weimer was born In
Iowa, September 81, 1877, and was
married to H. j. Wren October l3,
1897. To this union were born six
children-fve of whom are now living.
Sister Wren joined the Methodist
church in her girlhood. and was
faithful member till about ten years
ago, when she became member of
the Baptist church, aud was devot-
ed member of this church till her
death last Thursday, December 8.
She was 43 years, months and IS
days of age. She leaves a husband,
five children and many other relatives
and friends to mourn her departure.
All who knew Sister Wren said she
was devoted companion, and a true
mother. Just at this time she is very
much needed in the home, as the
children so much need mothers care.
But we know God doeth all things for
the best, and this family's loss is
Heavens gain. Sister Wren was only
sick few days. Her death came as
surprise to every body. In her last
moment here she bade farewell to all
the family, before going to her home
on high. H. W.D.

Puritanism's Revival.
(st. Louis Post. Dispatch

And the Angel said unto them:
Fear not, for, behold, bring you
good tidngs of great joy, which shall
be to all the people (Luke, 2:l0 }
In this Christmas season, the Lords
Day Alliance, forgettul of the teach
ing that the Sabbath was made for
man, not man for the Sabbath, would
have the angel add to his historic
message:
Henceforth We shall neither play
nor witness baseball game on the
sabbath Day, nor attend concert,
sacred or profane; neither shall Sun
day delicateSsens nor confectionery
stores be open to you; nor may there
be a Sunday paper; nor shall any
form of athletics be lDdulged in, un-
der the penalty of fine and imprison
ment and eternal damnation.
After prohibition and the renewed
exhibition of vigor on the part of the
anti tobacco and other faddists, the
agitation for laws forbidding all forms
OF recreation and trade on Sunday
throughout the length and breadth of
the land comes in logical order. The
Lords Day Alliance, seeking to imi-
tate the Anti Saloon League, will at
tempt to procure legislation not only
in all of the states, but in Congress as
we'll, for compulsory observance of
the Sabbath
We have suffered what it is to be
hoped is only temporary occulta-
tion of the sound principle of our
social and political organization that
the power of government regulation
of individual conduct is confined
wholly to acts wherein one deals with
his fellow man and never to those
affecting his interests alone. For the
ultimate logic of any ether view is to
sanction succession of tyranny by
changing majorites attaining political
power. There are thousands of peO-
pie in the United States, for example,
who consider organized religion an
unmixed public evil. If they should
ever attain the power they must be
conceded no less right to forbid the
observance of the Sabbath than an
opposite majority to compel its OBJ
servauce.
A man may believe in a certain
manner of observing Sunday if he is a
| Christian or of Saturday if he be a
Jew, or of Friday if he is Moham-
| medan. 1t is his interest and right to
| b. protected from interference with
his observance, which involves the
corollary that it is his duty to alb
stain from interference with the OBJ
servance of others If we are to
adopt the syste N of a theocratic state,
the validity OF an enforced religion
must be recognized during its c. n
tinuahce, but, abandoning the princi-
pie of religious liberty, theocratic
state may be transformed into an
atheistic one with the passing of
political power
Every state in the Union has adopt
ed some form of Sunday laws, but
there are clearly defined principles
not Ct religious nature upon which
their validity is upheld They are
essentially civil regulations, based
upon the view that cessation from
labor on one day out Of seven is cal
cuIated to promote the health, morals
and well being of society; and such
objects are within the competency oi
the police powers OF the states. The,

A "REv." somebody wants ma
tional Sunday law, but wants it to for
bid only what he is pleased to term
"commercialized' amusements. Such
law would bar the all-encroachipg
picture show, the chiefest competitor
the pulpit holds it's up against. But
OF course it would not interfere with
ncommercialized" entertainments of
the sort the "Rev." Billy Sunday puts
forth. He "commercialized"a recent
two weeks engagement to the tune
of $4,000, Tread. He is immune herein
from civil law, but it runs in my
mind that there is Scriptural text
directly applying.

RECORD Is RECOGNIZED
BY 6-MONTHS OLD BABY
Pets Photograph When It Re-
produces Aunt's Voice.

The possibilities OF phonographing
recording is evidenced by the follow
ing incident: A New York church
singer had a small niece Of whom she
was especially fond, a remarkable
sympathy seeming to exist between
the two when the child was but six
months old.
Frequently the soprano sang songs
to the little one, a particular favorite
being Jessie Gaynor's "Slumber Boat"
for which she always showed . no
ticeable preference.
A few months ago the child's family
moved to the Pacific coast. and the
Informal singing OF lullabys was for
the time discontinued.
Meanwhile the aunt had occasion
to make several phonoEraph records
and among them was '"The Slumber
Boat" which was an unusually good
reproduction of the singers voice.
or the child's frst birthday she re-
ceived from her aunt a record of her
fayorite song.
Immediately came back a letter
from the .child's mother. saying that
she had actually recognized both song
and voice and had stood up in front
of the instrument and patted II the
entire time the record was being
played.
