HOG CHOLERA LOSS
LIGHTER TO DATE

According to H. c. H. Kernkamp,
assistant veterinarian in the divis-
ion of veterinary medicine at Univer-
sity Farm, hog cholera does not seem
to be as prevalent in this state as
it was at the corresponding date
last year. With conditions so favor
able apparently, every effort should
be made to maintain them and keep
losses at a low point. To do this re-
quires especially good care, santa
ton and close observation.
"Pigs that are thrifty, vigorous
and rugged" says DR.. Kernkamp,
are not as susceptible to cholera and
other diseases as are the unthrifty
and stunted ones. Worms and lice
are partly responsible for keeping
pigs in an unhealthy state. Clean
houses, clean pens, feeding troughs
and pastures are conducive of good
health. However, these alone will
not always prevent cholera, but they
will go a long ways toward control.
''In case any pigs appear sick,
their prompt removal and isolation
from the rest of the herd is impera-
tive. If animals die suddenly their
bodies should be removed from the
herd. Burn or bury all carcasses.
A veterinarian should be called in to

 If we failed to inform the other South mmerican delegations of our determina- tion. 1t was because we did not wish to place our sister republics before crisis of conscience concerning the attitude they should adopt. On the other hand what would have been said of US had we at- tempted a coalition of the South Amert- ican countries against the viewpoint Of che great powers?
 Tt is inexact 10 say we informed no one of our resolution. personally sus- tained the Argentine propositions before the representatives of the great powers and did not attempt to conceal OUT in- tentions.

HARDING DELIVERED THE
 ADDRESS AT ELKs' MEMORIAL

Bedford, Va, Dec 5.-President-elect Harding today redeemed a promise to his boyhood friend, Henry M. Stowe, now a blind resident of the Elks' National home here, and practiced his own precepts of "memory's revealments in felloWships and friendships which fcrme1 the basis of an address delivered today at the annual memorial exercises at the national home of the order of Elks.
 It was at the invitation of MT Stowe formerly business man of Marion, O., that Senator Harding as a candidate for the republican nomination for the presi- dency agreed to deliver the memorial services oration at the Elks' national home. and when he was nominated he repeated his promise to be carried out i-- respective of the result of his campaign.
 So today he delivered the address. de- claring in the presence of the friend of his youth that it is not given to all men to inspire great shafts of granite or tab lets of bronze, but it is the privilege of every living being to. plant an ever blooming friendship in some fellow breast and gather all the fruit it bears"
 The oration was delivered in the open beneath the mild sun of an Indian sum- ner day, from the portico of the national home. while two thousand Elks and friends from all parts of Virginia gather ed the lawn to take part in the exer- cises of the order in memory of fourteen brothers who had died during the year. Senator Harding was introduced by Grand Exalted Ruler William M. Abbott of San Francisco.

 The opinion prevails in Armenian cir cles that mediation will not prove of likely to change the attitude of Mustapha Nemal Pasha, leader of the nationalsts, toward. Armenia
 The nationalists are making new ef- fort to Gislodge the Greeks from the Smyrna and other fronts in Asia Minor, and thei, forces are already moving Important forces have been withdrawn from Cilicia, where the Turks are inac- tive.
 The allied commissions are carefully avoiding expression of their views regard ing President Wilson's mediation, and public opinion here is waiting upon the outcome of tEe Greek plebiscite and the development of affairs in Greece

5000 SOCIALISTS CAUSED
 RIOT IN CHICAGO SUNDAY

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Riot calls were turn ed in late today when a meeting of B. 900 socialists becam1 disorderly after Meyer London, socialist congressman elect, from New York, had criticised the Russian soviet government.
 A detachment of police arrived shortly after the disorder was started and no serious damage was done, although chairs were broken and pictures and decorations torn from the walls
 MT. London had been discussing social ism for an hour before the disorder be- gan. He was loudly applauded and fre- quently stopped to quiet the shouts of praise which came from his audience.
 Suddenly, however, he began to criti- else the soviet government, asserting that
 the principles of Lenine were not neces- sarily the principles of pure socialism and that the socialists of New York were out of sympathy with developments in Russia
 But here in Chicago he continuedI you are too slow to realize the faults of the Russian government You go blindly on the belief that anything a so- cialist does must be right"
 The start of the criticism of Lenine brought a few shouts of disapproval from the audience and before MT London finished the disorder became beyond con trol and the riot call was turned in.
