CONDEMN ALL hog
CHOLERA REMEDIES

"As hog cholera is again prevalent
in several parts of Wisconsin, it Is
doubly important that hog raisers real
ize that the sO-callel medicinal hog
cholera remedies have not been sue
cessful in controlling this disease"
says B. A. Beach of the veterinary
staff Of the University Of Wisconsin.
At the Indiana experiment station 20
different preparations recommended
for the cure or prevention Of hog
cholera were tested The results Of
these tests plainly indicated that cheese
preparations will not control this NAL
ady. This fact is also borne out by
the field experiences of many vet
erinarians and hog raisers.
occasionally bad results follow the
use of serum and virus and this is
frequently taken advantage Of by
these patent medicine vendors in get
ting their preparation before the pub
lic," reports Doctor Beach.
wisconsin farmers and hog raisers
should not lose sight Of the fact that
hog cholera serum is the only agent
known to science that will successfully
combat this dread disease. There is
no biological product with which re-
suits are always good. The fact that
rarely losses do occur with cholera
serum and virus is to be expected"

WEST AND SOUTH
GAIN BY CENSUS
Illinois Will Get Three More Seats
in House.
so NEW MEMBERS ARE ADDED
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Michigan Gain Four congressman
Each-New House Will Con-
sfst of 4S5 Members.

Washington, Oct. discrimination
try, which place the total population
Of the Continental United States at
105, 1865, los, indicates that the West
and the South proportionately will
gain more in political way than the
East or Middle West, through in
creased membership in the house of
representatives, more votes in the
electoral college and in larger delega-
lions to the national political conven-
tons.
This result will obtain whatever ba-
sis of appOrtiOnment is adopted by
congress next winter fixing the size of
the next house, which in turn is re-
flected in the electoral college and the
conventions of the big political par
ties.
Fifty New Seats in House.
AS a result of the increase Of 49,
710,S42 in poulation during the past
ten years, 80 new seats must be added
to the house to prevent any state
from losing any part of it's present
representation. Should the present
membership of 435 be left unchanged
by increasing the basis of appOrt;on-
ment there will have to be transfer
of IS seats now held by u states to
nine other states.
For the last half century the prece-
dent has been to increase the size of
the house so as to prevent loss OF ex-
listing representation by any state. AS
a result the house has grown from
243 to 4S5 members, with only three
states-Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont-losing one member each in
the last so years.
If this precedent is followed this
year five additional representatives
seats must be given to California, four
each to New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan; three to ILLINOIS
and Texas; two to Massachusetts,, New
Jersey and North Carolina. and one
each to Alabama, Arizona, Connecti-
cut, Georgia, Maryland, Montana, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Car
DINA, Tennessee, Washington, West
Virginis, Wisconsin,, Arkansas and
Minnesota.
Maine May Lose Seat.
While the present basis of appOr-
tionment is 211,877 inhabitants, or it's
major fraction, to the congressional
district, congress can increase the ba-
sis to 219,427 without causing any
loss. To advance beyond the latter
figure will mean that Maine would
lose one seat, with the net result Of
48 new seats in congress.
Congressional leaders are strongly
opposed to any large increase in the
house, as they regard the present
membership of 435 as too unwieldly.
When the house census committee,
headed by Representative Siegel OF
New York, begins consideration Of the
problem, effort will be made to hold
down the increase, but pressure for
the Increase is expected to come from
the states which would benefit from
a larger house.

MILLIONS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL
Chicago Man Says World Has More
Than 100000 Sunday SchooIs-Big
Plans Ahead.

Tokyo, Oct. There are more than
100000 Sunday schools in the world,
with a total enrolment of more than
100000 pupils, said Marion Law
renee of Chicago, general secretary Of
the International Sunday School asso-
citation, in an address here before the
worlds Sunday school convention.
The speaker declared that the Sun
day school as an institution was en-
tering upon new phase Of develop
ment, due to a divine discomfort"
which had settled down upon the
churches. The churches, he said, had
come to realize that it must take the
Sunday school far more seriously than
in the past if it is to hold its own or
make any progress.

REDS AND POLES ;.
SIGN PEACE PACT.
Agree to Preliminary Armistice;
Will End Fighting.

III Not Broken for Period of IS Days
1t Will Continue Automatically
in Effect for an Indefinite
Period.

Riga. Oct. 12.-The Polish and Rus
sian soviet peace delegates signed a
preliminary peace treaty at the Black
Head house here last night.
The treaty contains II articles and
two anneXeS, one the armistice to be
concluded and the other map.
The preliminary treaty must be rati-
fed within fifteen days after it's sigma
ture and the formal exchange of rati-
ficatiOn papers must take place at Lii
bau within six days after ratification.
Failure so to do will constitute an
abrogation of the armistice within for
ty-eight hours after the time limit ex-
pires.
November Set for Exchange.
Both parties must ratify the pre-
liminary treaty before October %, and
the formal exchange of notifications
must be effected at Libau by NOvem-
Der 1. Otherwise the armistice will
expire automatically November 8.
The armistice specifically provides
that fighting is to cease within IA
hours after signature of the preimi-
nary peace terms and names midnight,
October II, as the definite time war is
to cease on land and sea, and in the
air.
Boundary Line Is Fixed.
An agreement was reached as to the
boundary line between Poland and
white Russia and Ukraine. 1t runs,
roughly, from Drissa, on the Dvinsk
river east of the city of Dvinsk, south
ward, passing near Baranovitchi. 1t
passes west of ROvnO and reaches the
Dniester river east of Kamenetz-PO-
dOlsk.
Settlement in liquidation of Polish
monetary claims was not included in
the armistice agreement, but will be
taken up in the treaty of peace, ac-
cording to Polish officials. The armis-
tice contains 10 sections.
The armistice, in the course of de-
termining the boundary line, recOg-

SORGHUM 'LASSES
IN WISCONSIN

The success of sorghum syrup
making depends upon the use Of
proper machinery for extracting
the juice and the further pro-
ductiOn of high quality of
syrup. The ordinary mill ex-
tracts only eight to ten pounds
of sugar from hundred pounds
Of cane, while in our work at
the experiment station we OBJ
tain % pounds of sugar. Made
into a business and with an eff
fcient mill, syrup making could
be made profitable.
But if sorghum syrup is to be-
come widely popular care must
be taken in the making process
to insure an excellent quality
of product. No one wants the
strong acid-favored syrup we
often buy which is the result
simply of not enough lime in
the process, nor does anyone
care for the black heavy syrup
which is the result of too much
lime. In our experiments at the
station we used a defecator :
heated with a steam coil. The
juice was run into this, the eX-
act amount of lime was added,
testing with ordinary litmus pa
per, the juice was then heated
and later the impurities were
skinned off the top.
I remember a man named
Powell at our sorghum conven-
lions who used to bring in a
syrup that was just like honey.
Such syrup will sell and, at the
present price of sugar, sorghum
offers possibilities as a great
crop for Wisconsin.

BETTER OUTLOOK IN
THE RETAIL TRADE
Federal Reserve Board Reports on
Business Conditions in the United
States.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Slashing Of
prices has caused revival of business
in the retail trade, and a more hope
fur outlook for the winter months, it
was shown in reports made to the Il l.
eral reserve board from various re-
serve bank centers.
Steady resumption of manufacturing
activity reflects freer demand for
goods, and cancellation of orders are
not believed to be as heavy as ap-
peared a few weeks ago.
A distinctly hopeful sign in the In
dustrial trend is the improvement gen.
orally noted in the transportation sta
tistics. There is less criticism over
lack of cars to move goods. Improved
car supply has resulted in better mar
keting of goods. The quicker handling
of freight by the railroads has had a
stimulating effect in various fields OF
industry.
Growth Of optimism among business
men is reported and business Is said
to be approaching a greater degree OF
stability. Reports further state that
In many leading districts, despite
demand which is lower than year
ago, some factories are kept going,
not alone upon new orders, but upon
orders which have accumulated for
the past few months.
Officials state that the spirit Of hest
fancy manifested over price reductions
is still in evidence but not in such
pronounced degree as when the price
cutting began. Reports seem to indi-
cate there will be a continuation in
revival of buying.

ALIENS ARRIVING

Movement of LaborerS in Last
Three Years Is Outward.
REDS ARE COMING INTO U. S.
Literacy Test Keeps Out Common La
borer-SkIIed Workers and Pro-
fessionaI Ranks Are Increased
by the Migratory Tide.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Amerfcan in
dustry finds little solace in the occu-
pational tables of the 1920 immigra-
ton. Skilled labor and tn; profess
sional ranks were increased by the
migratory tide, but common, unskilled
labor, the scarcity Of which has given
industry one of it's hardest pinches
and has helped send up the cost Of
living, was drained Of 100000 workers.
In the fiscal year ended last June
30, more craftsmen entered America
than departed. The same was true Of
doctors, editors, ministers, engineers,
teachers, actors and other profess
sional occupations. But in front of
unskilled labor, which is at the bot
tom of employment for all other
groups, was hung large minus sign.
This is how it ranks:
Came in. Went Out.
Professional .12,4 42 1879
Skilled workers 80. .69,967 2O,7S2
Merchants .. 1871 1884
LdUOl SlS OI,'o@ Aoo'O~O
A shortage of at least 100000 in
common labor, which is a basic fac
tor in industry, is estimated by care
full observers as the result of suspend
ed immigration alone during the war
years. On top of this the movement
of common labor for the last three
years has been outward. In 1918, H.
$50 were admitted and 1850 depart
ed In 1919, 1921 came in and a.
ia went out. Adding the figures for
the year finished June 80, 1862
alien laborers arrived in three years
and POP, 524 went back, loss to the
unskilled labor market of $4,000.
This is exclusive Of farm labor,
which registered an increase due to
the importation of hands from Mexico
for employment in the border states.
In the present tide, which has been
swirling at Ellis island since May,
larger percentage of unskilled labor IS
found among the arriving male aliens.
But as females constitute 40 per cent
of the incoming aliens and males form
Is per cent of the outgoing, it will re-
quire a long time to make up the COM
mon labor slack at the present rate.
Increase in Male Aliens,
The statisticians of the. inter-racial
council, after examining the figures
for nine recent weeks. estimate the
net increase of male aliens is now rum
ming at the rate of 1875 week. or
about $4,000 a year. Even if this fig
ure were doubled or trebled, it would
require years and years to replenish
the common labor supply to a point
where it will be fairly ample once the
industries begin hitting up a real pace
again.
Invention of labOr-saving devices
will undoubtedly tighten some of the
slack, but employment experts think
that despite an immigration which is
growing at prodigious rate. The COM
mon labor problems will become more
and more pressing the faster the in
