Hog Cholera Has Become Alarming in Arizona.

Hog cholera is making its appear ance in Arizona to an alarming extent, according to Ed. w. Stephens, secre- tary of the state livestock sanitary board. The contagion is confined to no one locality. Within the last few days reports have been received from Flagstaff, Winkleman, Yuma and many points in the Salt River val ley, indicating that the disease is dis tributed throughout the state.
 All hog owners are warned by the secretary to report at once all sus- picious cases to the state veterinar- ian, that the proper precautions may be taken to guard against losses

Pershing's Famous War Horse Finally Released.

Finally Released.
 Kedron, Gen. Pershing's war horse, has been released from quarantine at Newport News, Va, by the United States department of agriculture. It will be, remembered that efforts were made to have him released immediate ly after his arrival in order that Gen. Pershing might ride him in the. tri- umphal parades in New York and Washington. The department of agri- culture took the position, however, that the menace to the livestock of the country was such that the release of even so distinguished an animal as Kedron could not be justified. While Kedron came through as sound as the day of his departure for France, the wisdom of the quarantine has been established by the fact that other of- fcers' mounts in quarantine at New port News did develop dangerous dis eases and two of them had to be de- stroyed. One of these had contagi- Qus disease not known to exist in this country. The other had tryponosomia- . !, an infectious blood disease, akin to dourine, that is more or less prevail ent in Northern Africa and Southern Europe. If the quarantine had not been established and these horses had been allowed to go free in the United States, they very probably would have been the means of spreading this dis eases to such an extent that it would have been necessary to spend many thousands of dollars to eradicate the maladies, if possible of eradication at all.

strength with each successive treat ment. It should not be used more than three times unless some of the original solution is added and even then should be thrown away after the fourth usage.
 Precautions
 1. Corrosive sublimate is very pois- onous. Keep the solution and treated potatoes away from children and stock.
 ?. It corrodes metal, thereby losing strength.
 3. Treat whole potatoes, not cut seed.
 4. It is IMPORTANT to use the right strength of solution and to soak no more and no less than the required length of time.
 The Formaldehyde Treatment-(Di- rections)-
 Soak tubers for 2 hours in a solu- tion made by adding 1 pint of 40 per cent formaldehyde solution to 30 gal, Ions of water. Treatment can be made as described for corrosive sublimate. This solution can be used repeatedly as it does not lose strength during the operation, It is effective against scab but is not of use in controlling rhizoc- tonoise.

TRIMMING DOWN THE TAXES

The state board of equalization has
trimmed the state tax levy for 1920,
Al per cent. That means that the
state will get along with $1,191 $4,000
less than last year. It means that
your tax rate which was 2.41 has been
cut to 100. And this in face of an in
crease Of the lecvy for the soldiers
bonus from one half mill to three
quarters Of mill.
Nor is this all. Besides lowering the
rate of taxation, the board of equal
ization lowered the assessed valua-
tion of farm lands and slightly in
creased the valuation Of city proper
ty. The result will be that, so far as
the state tax is concerned, the 1920
taxes will be reduced nearly 80 per
cent on farm property.
In the face Of the high costs Of all
necessities, which the state as well
as the individual must pay, how can
such marked reduction be made
without doing as the old gang did un-
/ der Gov. Hanna -skimping upon the
upkeep Of the states institutions and
allowing buildings to go out Of re-
pair to "save money?
The answer is the telling part of
this tax situation! Money was ap-
propriated by the last legislature to
start off the Bank and the industrial
enterprises. The enterprises are
PAYING FOR THEMSELVES, PAY
ING THE INTEREST ON THEIR
BONDS, and IN ADDITION ARE
PAYING A PROFIT BACK INTO
THE TREASURY!
On top of that, we have found an
other way Of getting taxes. We are
making those who can afford it best,
pay most. The income tax gets the
fellow with the 'sunearned income" an
ssuneamed income" is one that comes
to you without labor or toll on your
part. If you are worker or producer,
your income is learned" If you are
loafer with revenue from clipping
coupons, from mortgage loans, from
investments that work for you while
YOU loaf-North Dakota's farmer law
reaches out and takes quite a snack
out Of your income. It eases the load
for the man who is producing. 1t lets
us reduce the taxes on the farm!
Does it look all right to you? Is
the program working out. 1t has been
in operation less than a year, and it
is already giving signs that it will DO
more than anybody dared hope. That's
it! It works better in practice than in
theory.

THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN!

Under the present social system Of
Organized Graft, Special Privilege,
Cruelty and Profiteering, society is
like pyramid balanced on it's apex.
All the vaccilations of mankind con-
stantly tend to topple it over, there
fore, the only way it can be kept in
equilibrium is by an intricate system
of ever-changing props and guy-ropes.
Although Congress and the legisla-
lures of forty-eight different states
keep turning out thousands of laws
annually, they cannot manufacture
props and butteresses in sufficient
quantities to supplant those which are
swapping in two or slipping out of
place through shifting of the strain
upon them.
To thinking and observing individ-
uals the eighth wonder Of the world
is that society holds together at all,
considering the way Big Business
plays horse with farmers, office work.
ers and manual workers.
I Just as soon as Organized Labor
and the, Nonparnsan League assume
charge of the various state govern
ments and became dominant factors
in national politics the position Of the
present scare-crow pyramid Of Amer
ican society will be changed gradu-
ally but surely so that it will rest
upon it's base.
Today the American government is
higgledy- -piggledy, down-side-up- af-
fair. When labor and the Nonpartisan
League finally whips the old gang
Republican and Democratic politicians
to frazzle the pyramid Of Yankee
society will stand upon it's base, and
buttressing this support will be the
solid rocks of truth, justice, equality
and THE BHOTHERHOO OF MAN.

GIVE THE LIVESTOCK A CHANCE

. = &
We often hear the complaint that in
spite Of good care and lots OF feed
the horses do not do well during the
winter. They come out in the spring
looking gaunt and unthrifty. This
condition can largely be traced to
lice, mites, etc. Often livestock is LETT
to suffer from this pest all winter and
nothing is done until the weather be-
comes warm in the spring.
The time to kill lice is in the fall
If livestock goes into well disinfected
winter quarters free from lice, ticks
81 mites, they will winter with less
feed and look better in the spring.
Well, you say, I did wash my horses
last fall but il did no good. The rea-
son for this is that stall posts, cracks
and crevices in the walls Of barns
are usually alive with these pests and
naturally it won't make any differ
ence whether the horse had them OF
not-he will have them. .
Before putting horses or cattle INTO
winter quarters, thoroughly scrub
them with the following solution:

BAC0N'S MAN OFFERS
TO PAY MEMBERSHIP

Let me have the dockage on your
crop when you sell it this fall, and
III pay your membership fee in the
Nonpartisan League"
This was the novel proposition that
K. Baerwald, tenant occupant of the
jerry Bacon farm in Crocus township,
Towner county made his neighbors
when he went out to organize them
for the League.
Mr.. Baerwald's method proved a
humdinger, he secured 19 new men,
bers in Crocus township alone.
Tenant of Rank I. v. A.
Strange to relate, Jerry Bacon Of
Grand Forks Herald, Mr.. Baerwald's
landlord, is rank and hopeless l. v.
A. This fact alone makes his unpar-
alleled achievement in Towner county
a matter Of state wide interest and
inspiration among Leaguers.
In conducting his membership drive
Mr.: Baerwald only approached men
with whom he was personally &C.
quainted. The first day he was out
some Doubling Thomases refused to
join, declaring the League laws hadn't
made him any money as yet.
"Look here Old Top" replied Mr..
Baerwald, looking his neighbor
squarely on the bridge of the nose.
"I1l just make you a proposition-if
you agree to turn your dockage over
to me this fall when you sell your
crop, I'll pay your membership fee
and all other expenses occasioned by
your joinging the League at this
time" The Doubling Thomas took out
his pencil, figured on the back of an
envelope a few minutes, then, an
nounced he would join the League
without another minutes delay.
Mr.. Baerwald continued making the
same proposition to the remainder Of
his Crocus township neighbors until
10 of them has signed up.
Could Have Cleaned Up
Before making this novel PROPOSE
tion to his neighbors Mr. Baerwald
prepared a careful estimate Of what
the dockage in Crocus township would
probably amount to. If the farmers
had accepted his proposition, he would
have been reasonably sure Of realiz-
ing something like $1,000 on the in

SHERIFF CATCHES
CAR WITH BOOZE
SHERIFF HENNESSY AND DEP.
UTIES GET CAR AND BOOZE
BUT DRIVER GETS AWAY

Monday night Sheriff Hennessy and
number Of deputy sheriffs hied
themselves up near the Canadian line
and returned Tuesday morning with a
quality Of booze and a Buick roadster
that has been used for transporting
booze from Canada to Minot.
According to Mr.. Hennessy the car
was not only loaded with booze when
taken but was also being driven at
night without lights. When ordered to
stop the driver simply stepped on the
throttle and tried to make his get
away. Then high calibre guns were
brought into action with the result
that the radiator was punctured and
even then the smuggler drove his car
a distance Of five miles before he had
to abandon it to make his own get
away. Along with speeding up his car
when ordered to stop the driver drew
his pistol and this was shot out Of
his hands and he was injured about
the neck. !:
Federal authorities from Minot ar
rived Tuesday evening, took the booze,
ordered the car fixed up and they will
take it to Minot where the car will
likely be sold at auction.
Sheriff Hennessy is certainly to be
complimented for the work in this
case as the element carrying whiskey
into the United States is the very
worst and hardest kind Of men to do
anything with and it looks like a
question of the Sheriff and his depu-
ties stalking their lives against that Of
the smuggler in an effort to put a
stop to the practice. ~

The purpose Of the kerosene is for
thinning the crude oil so that it will
run thorugh spray. Crude oil can be
purchased from any oil station. IF not
kept on hand they can secure it for
you and when it comes to disinfection,
there is absolutely no louise, mite or
tick that can live in the presence Of
it.
When applying this disinfectant
keep in mind that the fundamental
principles of disinfecting are, 1st, re-
liable disinfectant, End, thoroughness
of application, 3rd, method Of appli-
cation (spray).
Thoroughly clean out all litter, dirt,
manure, cobwebs etc. before applying
disinfectant. Use a spray pump and
apply to every stall post, crack crew
ice, corner and surface Of building;
don't allow a single place to escape,
dip or spray harness, collars, sweat
pads, etc. If this is done thoroughly
once it will always be done on that
farm. The stock will look better, do
better, feel better and make more
economic gains. Isn't it worth while :?
