THE BOVINE TUBERULlN
TEST

One statement made at bovine tu-
berculosis eradication hearing in ~Ihe
Massachusetts State House recently
may be of interest, if not of help to
Vermont, in which state there Is at
the present time more or less discus
sion regarding the desirability OF
spending quarter OF million dollars
annually in the eradication of bovine
tuberculosis. This statement, as made
by DR.. John F. Devine of Goshen, \.
Y, is as follows:
1--WE can never eradicate tuberculo-
sis in the human family while we nour'
sh in the bovine"
This is very positive statement
but is, we believe, based upon medical
opinion that is of the highest sort. OF
course, there are medical men who be-
lieve to the contrary, that bovine tu-
berculosis is not communicated to hui
man beings; but there are Others who
have given the matter much study who
are very positive that much OF the tu'
berculosis in the human family is at
tributable to the infection received
from cows.
Another statement made at the con-
ference in Boston that may be of in
terest to Vernon; is that bovine tu'
berculSsis can be ersdicated, and that
statement was supplemented by still
another and by another authority who
declared that during the past fivt
wears tuberculosis has been reduced q
per cent and that to-day large mum
| Der of pure bred herds in the United
States are free of the disease. We
know from statistics that tuberculo
sis is being eradicsted in Vermont un
der the campaign that is now in opera
ton. That campaign cost money, mucl
money; but 1t is money well spent i
the gains already made are maintained
and are developed. Vermont is, we be
llieve, on the right track and ough'
20 continue the work as fast as posi-
BILE. the work TO b. followed up by I
strict quarantine against any cattle ex
cept those which have been subjected
to the tuberculin test and have beer
found to be free of the disease.

roads may be attained. Especially Is
this cutting necessary at curves in the
roads and at approaches to highway
bridges, where the danger OF collision
between road vehicles is the greatest.
Selectmen should lose no time in car
rying out the provisions OF the law
which require the cutting of bushes
and brush of any sort which may be
growing beside the road and which
may prove hazard. Some degree OF
beauty of the highways must be sac
rifced, perhaps, in this cutting but
safety of the people is of greater con-
sequence han landscape glory, SO that
the cutting of the bushes and brush IS
an entirely reasonable proposition Do
It. selectmen. Don't delay

Several instances in Burlington re-
Gently have revealed the rotten condi-
ton Of the poles which support the
wires of electric light and telephone
companies, just the same as has been
revealed in Barre. The companies wait
for the wind to blow the rotten poles
down, or the automobiles to bunt
through them or for the poles to fall
Of their own burden. Meanwhile the
public stands in danger of death or Sc
rious injury from the falling poles or
the tangled wires after the poles have
fallen. Il may be a fl subject for
legislation to require that companies
using wires above ground shall make
regular inspections and replace poles
found to be in rotten condition at the
base.

The Morrisville Messenger is OF the
opinion that political considerations
and petty spite" were influences back
of the decision of the state board OF
education in locating three two-year
teacher training courses, leaving John
son ont. We believe the state board
was actuated by other and more hon
orable motives thai, those mentioned
and, furthermore, that the choice was
pretty well made While we regret
that the johnson Normal school had
to go out of existence, we are con
WINGED that thu best interests of the
state require that its normal schools
if such there are to be, should be To-
Gated in places having more advan'
tages than johnson.

The fact that thirteen operators OF
wheels of fortune were fined in one
day in Son4erville, Mass, is an earnest
of what such gamblers should expect
if they set up in business in Vermont
during these coming days of the cir
Gus and the county fairs. Driven out
of the larger centers Of population,
there is no reason why they should be
larbored in Vermont With their last
easy mark gone, the operators may
turn to and earn an honest dollar.

 PRIZE FOR RECORDS

Presidents and secretaries of farm clubs in this county will compete for a prize of $2 offered by Mrs. c. D. Turner to the one showing the largest per cent of record books at the club exhibit to be given at the courthouse Thursday and Friday, October 20 and 2l.

However, other clubs will come prepared, their members say, to head off the Enola workers, and the outcome is in doubt.

CITY ATTORNEYS
 PLACE IS VACANT

At a meeting of the Conway city council last night it was decided to dispense with the services of city attorney for the present at least, and Senator George F. Hartje, who has been serving in this position, was re- leased from his duties in this capac- lity. Mayor w. D. Cole said today the council was entirely satisfied with Mir. Hartjes work, the temporary abolishment of the office being a step for economy and because there was no immediate need for an at torney's services.
 The council planned last night to select chief of police, under the terms of special act of the 1921 legislature, and the aldermen had slated Alderman A. M Ledbetter for the position, but Mir. Ledbetter de- clined to serve and the election was deferred until later in the week, when called meeting will be held.

EXPECT MANY TO
 ATTEND RtUNI( N

Several Faulkner county veterans and friends are planning to attend the thlrtyfirst annual reunion of Confederate veterans, which will be held at Chattanooga October 25 to 27 inclusive, and the officers of the local chapter U. D. C. have been requested to urge and assist as many veterans as possible to attend this great event, which will possibly be the last re- union of veterans of the Confectionery to be held.
 Low railroad rates will be offered for the occasion. The Conway pas senger office has not yet received official advices as to the rates, but Ticket Agent F. B. Anderson said today he expected the rate to be one cent a mile, or about $11 for the round trip from Conway to Chatta- nooga.
 In addition to the veterans reunion, the twenty-second annual meeting of the Confederated Southern Memorial Association and the twenty sixth an- nual meeting of the United Sons of Confederate Veterans will be held in Chattanooga October "A to 27 inclu- sive.

RECEPTION IN HONOR
 OF CENTRAL FACULTY

One of the most pleasurable social events of the season was the recep- tion given by Dr. and Mrs. J. w. Conger at their home on Robinson avenue on Tuesday night. It was for the purpose of making acquainted the members of the faculty of Gen. tral College, the local trustees and the former teachers of the college, together with their husbands and wives. Perhaps the honored guests Of the evening were Prof. Thickstan and his wife, who had just arrived from Atlanta.
 The home was made very attractive and cheery by cut flowers, ferns and "a large glowing fire in the honey fireplace. The guests began to arrive ] at 8 o'clock and were graciously re- ceived by Dr. and Mrs. Conger and Misses Merle Rogers and Lucille Howe.
 After becoming we'll acquainted with each other, partners were chosen for the most interesting con- tests of the evening. Groups con- tested with each other and spent many happy moments before the win ners were made known. The con- pany also enjoyed the popular cracker contests which were enjoyed by the different representatives of the board and faculty. A prize was awarded to the winning side. It was beau tiful cake decorated in the college colors.
 A delicious plate was served. The college colors were again in evidence. The girls who assisted in serving were Misses Sallie McGraw, Ethel Gordon and Jenilee Harrel.
