WHITE CARNATIONS
By William n. Barton

The price of white carnations may
70 up on the eve OF Mothers Day,
but We can afford to pay for one
apiece. Motherhood itself is eSpen-
sive. That Is one reason why II is so
precious.
Three years ago, General Pershing.
who. as you may happen TO remem-
Der, was in France. and did not
come back until Il was over. over
there, issued this proclamation:
"To all Commanding Officers:
81 wish every officer and soldier
in the American ESpeditionary for
Cos would write a letter home on
Mothers Day. This Is q little thing
for each one to do, but these letters
will carry back our courage and our
affection TO the patriotic women
whose love and prayers inspire US
and cheer us on TO victory.
"PERSHING."
Reams and reams Of letter paper
were used up on that day. and who
can doubt that every soldier was n
better man for the hour he spent In
writing home TO mother?
In the Pacific Garden Mission In
Chicago, Harry Monroe, himself a
man who had been a drunkard and a
pugiiist. kept a great frescoe on the
wall where every man who entered
had no choice but to read 1t, II he
could read at all
HOW LONG SINCE you WROTE
TO MOTHER! 2
He said that question did as much
good as any verse Of Scripture on the
walls, and that he never found any
man beyond hope who still loved the
memory OF his mother.
OF all people who are shaping this
worlds tomorrow, its statesmen,
teachers, preachers, editors and all
the rest, no group is so potent as the
mothers Of the race.
Henry Drummond. in his lectures
on The Ascent OF Man." pointed out
the moral significance OF the su-
premacy OF the Mammals in the
world OF living things, and said
Gods crowning, achievement, as
judged by the ascent OF life, is the
evolution Of motherhood"
White carnations will come high
but we must have them.
And please remember the young
mothers. who were schoolgirls few
years ago, and who have entered into
the wonderful experience OF mater
nifty that has transformed them into
women. White carnations for them
also!

new ROAD BUILDING;
IN COUNTY COMPLETED
indicate conditions in every section of

With the end of the road building
season approaching, activities in that
line in Wayne county are almost
ended, said County Surveyor Howard
Horton, Wednesday. A total of four
miles of road was completed during
the past season. About 80 men were
employed.
Road work was considerably curtail-
ed because of high prices of material
at the start of the season. However, a
number of reductions have been made
during the year, and county officials
are of the opinion that next years
road building will be done at d more
reasonable cost.
Washed gravel sold for 90 cents per
ton at the start of the season. Today
it sells for 60 cents. Sand has dropped
from so cents per ton to so. Cement
formerly selling at $3.50 per barrel at
the mills, now sells for $160.
A mile of paving cost, roughly,
$4,000 at last seasons prices. accord
ing to Surveyor Horton. Indications
are that next season will see a mater
ial reduction in this cost, and d CORE
spending increase in the amount of
road work done, with a consequent
solving of the unemployment problem.

In storing potatoes it is important
that they be able to breathe; that
means that either the bin or the pit
be ventilated so that the tubers do
not smother and rot.
A man with a taste for figures says
that man who plows an acre walks

Corn Worm and Borer.
An entomologist says that corn ear
worms, so abundant this fall, are not
likely to be bad next year He says
that the natural habitat of this pest
lies further south, where it feeds
mainly on cotton, but that the past
mild winter allowed enough insects to
live over to do damage this far north.
The corn worm is almost twice the
size of the corn borer, the latter be-

CHOLERA IS CHECKED
BY HOG VACCINATION,
VETERINARIAN SAYS

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. ~. - Prompt
response of farmers to appeals to vac
cinate hogs has resulted in a checking
of the epidemic of hog cholera which
was sweeping through the herds in
Indiana, according to DR.. R. c. Julien,
state veterinarian. DR.. julien believes
the epidemic will gradually subside if
farmers continue to heed the warning
of federal and state officials to vacci-
nate their hogs before the disease
infects the herds.
DR.. Julian attributes the sudden out
break of the disease to the fact that
hog cholera is always prevalent to
greater or less degree at this season
of the year and says that because of
the general slump in agriculture the
farmer has neglected to vaccinate his
hogs this year, as he has done hereto
fore. He agrees with the veterinary
department of Purdue university in
saying that one probable cause of the
rapid spread of the disease is the
extraordinarily wet season following a
drouth, when swollen streams have
carried bacteria from farm to farm,
where non-immuniZed swine may be
found.
Ship Infected Hogs.
Another prolt&c source of the spread
of the infection Dr. Julien believes is
the practice of rushing infected hogs
to market at the various public stock
yards. An animal infected with hog
cholera, he says, is constantly giving
off the germs of the disease. Trans
porting sick hogs, whether it be by rail
/ truck or wagon, is dangerous for the
reason that the germs of the disease
may be scattered along the transporta-
| tion lines to be picked up by various
agencies and scattered in all direc-
tons
| From the inception of the campaign
| for the control of the disease the
farmer has had constantly before him
the fact that vaccination is a proven
tive measure and not cure for hog
cholera, says DR.. Julien.
| The state veterinary department, the
| United States bureau of animal indus
try and the veterinary department of
Purdue university are working in
close cooperation for the control of
| the present outbreak.
DR.. Julien is of the opinion that the
| complaint being registered by many
| farmers of poor serum and virus arises
from the fact that many hog raisers
have neglected to vaccinate until the
disease has attacked their herds.

Clasps Of disbursement
Rv CZcas Dap Costume:

Good morning dear teacher were
the words that greeted an Earlh2Td
faculty member as unacceptable fig

ed in amazement at the figures which
uttered this respectful but hitherto un-
heard of remark, and then managed TO
give forth a feeble smile as he TealiZ-
ed that it was freshman day, and that
the remark was uttered not from the
"freshies" own free will but by order
Of their superior classmates, the So
phomores.
Freshman girls flirted unhesitatingly
with death by exposing their usually
carefully protected ears to the pierre
ing winds. Hair in pigtails, calico
dresses, one white stocking and one
black were the main features of the
feminine makeup.
Male Raiment
The male members of the class how
ever, were arrayed even more strik-
ingly 1t might have been inferred
that they had arisen on the wrong
side of the bed, for their shirts. coats
and ties were worn not only inside
out, but also were reversed from the
conventional style. Their features
would have done credit TO the most
fastidious Indian chieftians. They
were also required to carry clothes
brushes in order to clean the garments
of upper classmen who might sudden.
ly become dusty while going from
class to class.
The chapel exercises Wednesday
morning were conducted by the cos
tuned fresh. Carol Kenworthy, class
president, introduced the features OF
the program and in lieu of any com
plimentary remarks about the mem
bers of his own class, made disparag.
ing comments about the sophomores,
likening them to the aeroplane, which
he stated is of no use on earth
The class day was to end in the
afternoon when the two under classes
were to meet in the annual tug-of-war
The battle was to be supervised by
members of the upper classes. 1t was
to take place on the campus. The arti-
fetal stream was furnished by a fire
hose.
