RUSH WORK FOR PURE HERDS
Start Drive to Eradicate tuberculosis
Among Cattle in Delaware

start Drive to Eradicate TuberculOSi.
Among Cattle in, Delaware
An interesting bulletin has beer
issued by the State Board of Agri
culture on the eradication of tubercul
Osis among cattle as follows. Tuber
culOsis eradication work is going with
an ample State appropriation to take
care of it for the next two years
During these two years it is expected
to clean up Kent and Sussex counties
so as to make them "free areas. .
with this purpose in view the tuber-
culin test will be offered free of
charge to ever cattle owner in these
two counties. In New Castle county
the work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible. The essential points in the
agreement under which this work is
done are as follows. The testing is
done by regularly employed State or
government veterinarians and there is
no charge for the service. The cattle
owner is required to furnish transport
alton between his farm and the station
and lodging when necessary during
such times as the veterinarian is en-
gagged in the performance of his
duties under the agreement. The en-
tire heard must be tested and retested
at such times as are concidered neces-
sary by the Bureau and State Board.
"All reacting animals must be re-
moved fro mthe herd and slaught-
cred as soon as possible, ordinarily
within ten days. If not within 80
days no indemnity is paid to the
owner of the cattle, provided that
arrangements may be made to keep
other animals and retained for a
limited time for breeding purposes.
The premises must be cleaned and dis
infected. Milk from reacting cows
cannot be used unless it is sterilized.
Only tested cattle can be added to the
herd. If untested cattle are brought
to the premises they must be keep en-
added to the herd will be tested as soon
as possible, but no indemnity will be
paid the owner il they react on the
first test after being purchased. "NO
which react to the test that have not
been in the State for at lest six month.
"No cattle should be presented for the.
tuberculin test which have been in
jected with tuberlin within sixty, days
Immediately preceding or which have
at any time reacted to tuberculin
test. All reacting cattle are to be
Immediately after or within
a few days of the test. The veter-
marian and the owner usually act as
appraisers. In case they cannot agree
a disinterested person is called in to
assist in the appraisal. The owner of
;he reactors should sell them for the
highest price possible to butcher, or
le may ship them to an abattoir,
where they may be inspected for
animal, and $50 for pure-bred

IN MEMoRIAM

! In loving memory of my dear father
Thomas M. Green, who departed this life
June the 10th. 1920:
Oh, God, what a weight of sorrow
Has filled my aching heart with pain;
never hear his footsteps more,
No never, no never again.
Affections sore long time he bore,
Physicians were in vain,
Till God did please to give him ease,
And free him from his pain.
All is dark within my home,
Lonely is my heart today.
For the one loved so dearly
Has forever passed away.
Passed his sufferings,
Passed his pain,
Cease to weep
For tears are vain.
1t His loving Daughter.

THE LEGISLATURE.

When the closing day of the 1921 gen ,rzi assembly might have come were it sot for tho fact that a limit has been sxed there IS of course no telling. With h the last few weeks it has been going TtronE and disposing Of much business after t was realized that such was nec- .ssary h tho business was going 10 be iisposed Of
 Many of the problems that existed and rhlch were called 10 the attention of he legislature by the governor in his opening address have been given careful utention and affirmative action. The trolley problem has been handled in a manner that should meet the situation and assure the public the benefit of this much needed service. A big batch of siis has gone through the hopper and considerable study will be required to get them firmly fixed in mind.
 The efforts which were made 10 bring about a greater centraiization Of the uats government through the civil code were lost Whether another legislature Eiu be any more favorable to meeting such requirements is at least uncertain What Is held out as an idealistic plan tails 10 convince that 1t would prove to te practical and work with as great efficiency as obtained at the present time
 The plea that was made by Governor Lake for economy has had It's effects throughout the session. It did not pre- vent determined efforts, however. to plunge into lavish expenditures and Il sid not accomplish all that was desired b the way of curtaillng needless appro- ,riations that could be delayed without my great harm However much 1t is scsirsd there is never a harder plea tc make before a legislature and make sue. ,essfuliy than that Of economy.

THE SHIPPING BOARD,

For months the United States shipping board has virtually been going along on one wheel Difficulties have been ex- perienced in getting men to accept ap- pointment to Sle board and particularly in getting the man desired for the chair manship The result has been that the board has been forced to get along as best it could during a particularly trying period.
 Men of recognized abilities, some of the great industrial leaders of the coun- try have been sought for the chairman ship of the board. Endeavor to get the best has been repeatedly made and spe- cial efforts were directed toward those whose experience especially qualified them ior the task.
 In the naming of A. D. Lasker of Chicago as chairman of the board, Pres ident Harding has selected a man who t is admitted knows nothing about ships. He is however, regarded as one of the coUntry's great organizers and there is no question but what the board is in need of just such an executive If he is able to reorganize the work of the board and get it to doing business in q businesslise manner it makes less dif- ference whether he happens to be an au- thcrity on shipping.
 i It has been made perfectly evident , that administering the affairs of the shipping board and doing it in the way ! 1t should be is no small task. It is un- fortunate that the board has had the Iexperiences that it has. Those who have
 agrced to accept appointments to the board fully understand the situation, the
 conditions that have prevailed in the past and the problems that are faced. They must therefore be ready for and prepared to meet the test they are about
 10 undergo.
 l Certainly conditions cannot be any worse than they have been but the coun- , try and administration look for results
 which will be in decided contrast there
 with. Being willing to risk his reputa- ton as a successful organizer the coun. try has reason to look for results that will speak for themselves from the chair nansnip of MT. Lasl,er. The new board
 faces job tbat will not lack for some thing 10 do.

GETTING 1Ex1oo,s PROMISE.

Whenever Mexico is ready to give a sssuranccs that she will perform her fundamental obligation in the protection both of persons and the rights of prop crty validly acquired there will be no obstacles to the most advantageous re- latioDs between the two peoples"
 Such as part of the statement made by Secretary Hughes in his communication Ito tho Obregon government in connec- ton with the proposition advanced for a treaty of commerce and amity between the nations ought to impress that gov eTumcnt with the advisability of putting Itself in d position whereby this govern ment can extend the recognition which it SO much desires The fact that the United States wants assurances that pro- lection will be given to its people and their property is not surprising in view of what has happened in Mexico and what is possible under radical legislation there.
 This country is not attempting to con- trol Mexico or bind its hands in anyway except that when it's subjects acquire property there under existing Mexican law it doesn't believe that Mexico by change of its laws over night should be permitted to take that property away without proper compensation. That is cnly proper. that is only what is to be 1 expected in any country and only the ' kind of treatment that Mexican would | expect to get in the United States. Mex 1 leo is being asked 10 do only what it
 ought to be anxious to do. It can hard ly be expected that a government is go-
 ing 10 be recognized only to turn around some time later and confiscate the prop l crty of subjects of the other country who have a proper title to their posses.
 sions Possibly the Obregon government doesn't intend to do anything of the sort + is entirely possible that it plans or doing of it's own free will what this country is asking for, but the laws
 which have been passed and the atti tudo that has been manifested makes i
 advisable 10 get some sort of guaran tee. and if Mexico stops to consider i will realize that there is no one tt
 blame for such a demand but itself.

 Notable among the residents of Far West were John D. Lee, the leader of the brutal Mountain Meadow massacre in Utah; Mrs. Morgan. whose husband was 1t is claimed, abducted and murdered by Masons in 1926 for his so-cailed exposure Of the mysteries of the craft to which he belonged; and Brigham Young, the ablest of all Morn1ons. A few of the inhabitants at Far West refused to go with the Mor- mons to Salt Lake, withdrawing from the church and renouncing its tenets and practices, and they and their descendants have since been honorable and well es- teemed citizens of Caldwell and neighbor- ing counties in Missouri The postofice at Far West. which was discontinued for about forty years, was re-established and named Kerr. and is kept in a farmhouse on the site of the old town.

ed, and there pervaded the, sediment an jar of industry and thrift never before known so far West.
 Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, and the recognized head of the Church of Latter Day Saints, came out from the Mormon colony of Kirtland, Ohio, and assumed con trol and government of this settle ment early in the spring of 1S3S, but during the summer of that year dis turbing quarrels arose among the Mormons themselves. Finally two or the ablest men and most righteous citizens of the colony, David W1tner and Oliver Cowdery, who were two of the three original witnesses" to Smiths Book of Mormon, withdrew from the settlement at Far West and removed to another section of Mis- souri.
 The town site of Far West was one mile square and was situated in a magnificent prairie country with fine fertile soil and a pleasant climate. There is no wonder that the poor, de- luded followers of the crafty Smith and his cunning associates, many or whom had come from the cold and unproductive cuntries of Northern Flu rope thought that they had indeed ar rived at "the promised land Of God. A public square was laid out in the town and dedicated as the chosen spot on which to build magnificent temple which Smith claimed he was ! by Divine Command, ordered to erect. Work was begun on this temple in 1 the summer of 1888, and an excaYa-
 tion was made for the basement under | the contemplated structure. Between 1 five and six hundred men were en- l gagged in the work, which was all done 1 by hand, the dirt being removed or 1 wheelbarrows, and was accomplished i in a few hours. The cornerstones o1 | the temple were laid with solemn ana impressive ceremonies on July 1888
 and the walls were built to a neigh of about two or two and a half fee l above the level of the ground, bu
 here, as at the building of the Towe of Babel, the work was interruptet by dissensions among the builders, ant

From the majority that resulted in New London on the question of a new charter calling for the city manager form or Eoverzment it is clearly indi- cated that the people of that city favor a complete hOuseclesning. The vote for a change was by decided majority and those who stayed at home plainly indi- cated that they were either convinced Ina, the change would be favored or elsa they had no preference. being willing to leave it to the decision of others.
 New London took a vote upon the charter change just a week after Marion. Ind. in the heart of that section of the country where city manager government has long been under test and it is inter esting to note that Marion decided against the adoption of the city mana ger plan by a vote of five to one. Next week New Haven will be the second city in Connecticut to express itself upon the city manager plan
 The city manager plan of city gov ern uent. the outgrowth of the commis- sion form. has been on trial for a num- Der of years. There are communities where t has made a good impression and there are others where if we are to judge by the action in Marion, it has not. Even those who are enthusiastic supporters cf the city manager plan ad- nit that such high powered government is dangerous in the hands of the wrong people.

publication are held to have violated the law in that they were of character to incite arson, murder or assassination, and for that reason it was the duty of the postmaster general to deny them the use of the mail but such denial should have been for all mailing privileges and not just the cheapest class. Such is held by the court to be an abridgement not of the freedom of the press but de- nial of the right to abuse that freedom
 The object sought in the suit was to compel the restoration of the second class mailing privilege.
