 I know that there is always much op- position to the raising of salaries. There is feeling among some folks that all officials are pensioners. It may be true that few officers do not earn their pay, but in these instances the people are responsible for filling the offices with unworthy men. A salary is prescribed to accord with the duties and responsi- 5ilities of the office, and it devolves upon the people to elect men tor women now who will discharge those duties and re- responsibilities efficiently, There are many officers who are overpaid. but I know. Of no office that is not underpaid. Vir- iually all those who serve the public governors. judges. policemen, firemen teachers, ct al--are lamentably under paid.
 That the incumbents of the two offices in question deserve much more than they are receiving should be self-prov- ing statement The increase asked for is moderate It should be granted

My dear Mr.. and Mrs. Cate:

My dear Mr.. and Mrs. Cate:

He was in my platoon and | was
only few yards from him when he
was hit. We had received word that
the Germans were going to counter
attack, so lst Lieut. Grimball told me
to hold that flank and he would go to
the right flank to hold them off. We
! thOok up position in front of clear

der your sons guidance establishing
themselves in a German machine gun
emplacement. After waiting this
way probably thirty minutes for the
Germans attack, which did not come,
Lieut.. Grimball came back and we
decided to move forward.
We had just left the position, going
down a path, Lieut.. Grimball leading
in single file, all the men five to ten
feet apart in order to make a poor
target when the spot we had been
located was heavily shelled. Had we
not moved when we did we would all
probably have been killed. As it was
all the men had moved down the path |
following Lieut.. Grimball and myself. |
Your son was seeing that the men
were doing everything as they should

The last time I saw him he was
telling his men to get the guns and
move out and was helping them do it.

hells just below his belt, although !

The roads that lead from Re

EWES GOOD INVESTMENT

Returns from 100 high grade
Shropshire ewes bought by twenty
five farmers of Little River county
last year have already come within
$500 of paying for the purchase
price.
Last year County Agent George
M. Johnston convinced several of
the farmers in Little River county
tina they would profit by raising
sheep. He went to the Kansas City
market and bought 100 Shropshire
ewes and distributed them among
rs farmers of the county. The
ewes cost $1,000. Their feeding has
cost the farmers nothing.
The farmers now have the ewes
and 100 lambs. The lambs weigh
from rs to 80 pounds each and are
worth about $12 each. The clip
from the ewes ran ten pounds each,
while selling at 80 cents pound
is worth $500. The lambs and the
clip from the 100 ewes are worth
81 500, which almost covers the
original investment.

DISEASE EFFECTS CATTLE

Losses among cattle in Arkansas
which supposedly have been due to
tuberculosis have been found to be
caused by Nodular disease, states
j. H. Bux, inspector in charge of
tuberculosis Eradication in Arkan-
sas. DR.. Bux identified the disease
at Huntsville where he had been
called to investigate disease among
cattle.
Nodular disease, states DR.. Bux,
is caused by a small worm which
is found on the ground and in sur
face water. The young parasites
are taken up by the animal with
feed or water and mature in the
bowels where they deposit eggs,
which are passed out and later de-
velop on the ground into young
worms.
A slight infestitation does not
harm the animal but excessive
numbers of the worms cause pro.
fuse diarrhoea, and rapid loss
of flesh. The animal losses it's
appetite, becomes extremely weak
and death finally results.
Treatment of badly infected ami.
mails has been found unsatisfactory
Prevention of the disease consists
of the removal of the animals from
the infected premises for a season
All affected animals should be iso-
lated from the rest of the herd.
