Bethel Community Fair.

One of the best community fairs
ever held in Williamsburg county was
that displayed yesterday in Bethel
school house. A good many visitors
from Kingstrce and other parts Of
the county were present.
The exhibit was we'll systematized,
having been arranged into four main
departments, namely: farm, household,
fancy work and antique. We are
frank to say that the farm depart
ment excelled by far that of our coun-
ty fair last year. 1t contained practi-
cally everything produced on the farm,
that of cane and corn being very strik-
ing.
In the household department there
was a great variety of canned fruits
and vegetables, preserves, jellies, eggs,
lard, honey, homemade soap and
many other things. The improved
methods used in canning and preserv-
ing were particularly noticeable. This
in itself impressed the writer with
the great work done by our home
demonstration agent in teaching the
modern methods in canning, etc.
The fancy work department was
very beautiful. In the exhibit were
centerpieces, bureau scarfs, handker-
chiefs, pillow slips, dresses and other
pretty hand work in such designs as
"Alcohol No Longer King" Liberty
Bell" and "Take a Seat, My Dear"
Another piece of hand work that drew
lots of attention was quilt made in
1746, being one of the best pieces OF
work ever exhibited in this county.
There was very much interest man.
ifested in the antique department,
which contained many interesting rel
les of the Bethel community.
We understand that the best OF
these exhibits will be taken to the
Andrews fair and displayed as a COM
munity exhibit, and later to the Viii.
liamsburg fair here at Kngstrec. II
the Bethel community exhibit does
not get first money at both fairs, it
will make some other community ex-
hibit earn its money.
We commend this get-togcther spir-
it to any other community in Will
liamsburg county.

MANY PERILS TO LIVE STOCK
ON NATIONAL FOREST
Heavy Losses from Predatory Ami
mails, Poisonous Plants, Disease,
and Accidents.
10-6-4tp.

The utilization of the range in the
national forests of the west for the
production of wool, beef, mutton, and
pork is steadily increasing from year
to year. Ranchers and stockmen are
manifesting growing appreciation of
the advantages afforded by Govern
ment pasturage. And in the same de-
gree, they are all too frequently neg
lecting their live stock after it is turn
ed out on the mountain ranges, STATE
officials of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
On all open ranges there are many
losses from predatory animals, poison
Gus plants, disease and accidents, and
similar dangers. Unless owners Of
live stock campaign intelligently and
perservingly against such sources OF
disaster, their herds and flocks usually
suffer mortality of from 5 to 6 per
cent yearly. To illustrate, one ranch
man grazed 700 head of cattle last
summer on a national forest without
a herder. AS result he lost dozen
head of steers worth $50 each.
Last year in forest district 5, which
includes California and western Ne
vada, the total livestock mortality in
II forests amounted to 1,151 cattle, 5
horses, and 5,S40 sheep. The total
number of perlnittees who used the
Federal grazing lands aggregated g.
S29. They grazed 234,415 cattle and
horses, 633,5O0 sheep and goats, and
$500 hogs on the forest ranges. Two
hundred and seventy-fve cattle died
of disease; 299 cattle and 1,462 sheep
were killed by eating poisonous plants;
81 cattle, 5 horses, and 2,745 sheep
were killed by predatory animals; and
4s6 cattle and 1858 sheep succumbed
to accidents and miscellaneous causes
of death.
This matter of livestock losses on
the Government ranges has become OF
such importance that the United Stat
es Forest Service made a detailed sur
vey of the specific causes of mortality
amoung livestock in the Stanislaus
Forest of California during recent
year. During the period under dis
cussion, total of 10000 animals pas
tured in the forest lost their lives.
The manner in which these losses were
distributed should be of value to stock
men and ranchers who are interested
in curtailing these losses, and who are
anxious to know what the weak points
ir their present methods OF manage
ment are. The losses among cattle
were distributed as follows:
Under 1-year old from blackleg,sS;
over 1-year old from blackleg, 81;
calves, loss of mother from larkspur
poisoning, 10; cattle losses from lark
spur, So; other poisons, Fl; predatory
animals, 20; accidents, 33; in calvirg,
IA; lost, strayed, or stolen, IA; from
anthrax, 2; from eating giant powder
from NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. camp, D;
from neck-and-spine disease, Is; killed
by hunters, 2; blind, aged crippled,
and ruptured, 4; losses from conta-
gious abortion, 122; from lack OF
proper food and starvation,14; and
from unknown causes, 337.

FIRST WALKOUT
is PLANNED To
II HIT 48 STATES
Railroad Strike viii Extend
Along Every Border Of the
Country Except the Ex-
treme Northwest.
(By The Associated Press.)

Chicago. oct. 16 (by the Asso-
ciated Press 1.-The first walkout
in the progressive general strike,
scheduled to begin at 6 a. m, Oc-
tober so, would find virtually
every large city and forty-two of
the forty-eight states affected.
Only New England states would be
untouched.
The strike is planned to extend
along every border of the country
except the extreme northeast, and
to cover every interior state.
The seventeen roads which first
would be affected have a mileage
of 73,431, approximately Sc per
cent of the country's trackage. In
GLIDING all railroad organizations,
in the neighborhood of 100000
men would walk out the first day,
union leaders estimated, although
it, has not been decided definitely
yet whether, the eleven minor
unions shall carry out their walk
out in all details the same as the
big four brotherhoods and the
Switchmen's Union Of North
America.
The largest road listed in group
one of the railroads is the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul, with a
trackage Of 1861 miles and runs
through most of the states in the
northern part of the country be-
tween Chicago and the Pacific
coast. The Chicago and North
western, covering the central and
north central states, Is the second
largest, its mileage totaling 1915.
. The Southern Pacific lines have
a larger mileage than either of the
above roads. but part of their lines
run into Mexico and it Is not
known whether the st: Ike will af-
feet that country,
The only states not reached by
the roads on which the strike is
scheduled to begin are Massachu-
sets, Maine, Vermont, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut and Rhode Is
