The common man who does the hard,
dirty but necessary work of the world
often feels that he is being imposed
upon and is resentful but because he
is isolated and often not any too well
informed doesn't know how to help
himself He pays and suffers but the
sting is there just the same. 1t has
only been in recent years that the
common man was educated at all. Be
cause he lacked education he couldn't
reason to the source of his wrongs
and right them. This is true to a
lesser extent even today. Some day
we will all see the value of good
mental training as a means to pre-
vent things being slipped over on us
and our kind Some day the farmers
will realize that their boys need a big,
broad, humanizing education. Then
the ancient position of the goat held
by the agricultural class since the
dawn of history will be shifted to
someone else because the farmer will
refuse to be "it" any longer. This,
to us, is what Farmer Wilkinson was
saving when he wrote that interest
ing letter to the Herald a few weeks
back. 1t may be easy enough to PICK
flaws in Mr.. Wilkinson's argument
but fundamentally he is right and the
duty of education is service.

Another chapter in the famous tri-
angle of beauty. brains and wealth
that occupied the center of the stage
about fifteen years ago, was written
when Evelyn Nesbit attempted suicide
in New York one day recently. Stan
ford White has long been returned to
dust. Harry Thaw a gibbering idiot
peering through the bars of an insane
asylum and Evelyn Nesbit penniless,
friendless and an outcast. Yet the
moral falls upon deaf ears and the
Primrose Path is still so crowded that
little notice is taken when one has
his brief fling and passes from the
stage.

The Herald has felt for some time
that too many burdens from nom
productive people are being placed on
the backs of the producers in this
great land of ours. We used to throw
up our hat and shout when something
new came along but lately we have
come to see that fine as all these
things may be they all cost money
and all have to be paid for ny the
Woodworking wealth-producing clas-
ses. Many things are fads OF the
moment and do not survive a test.
Others prove worthwhile. 1t pays
to be deliberate and make a thing
prove in before adopting it.

AGED LADY bound,
THIEVES MAKE SMALL
HAUL OF CASH FUNDS

EATON, o., Oct 3.-Two men en-
tered the home of Mrs. lines, about
20 years old. in the Scuffletown neigh
borhood, northeast of Eaton, last
, Thursday afternoon, during absence of
members of the household, bound her
IN a chair and ransacked the house,
according to reports reaching here to-
day. The robbers secured only a
small amount of money in pennies, it
is said.
The aged woman's life was threat
ened with an old razor the intruders
found in the house, according to re-
port
Mrs. Ines son and his wife, who
live with her, are said to have gone
to the county fair with a neighbor and
she was alone in the house. She had
noticed three men in the forenoon in
a thicket along creek that runs
through the farm. Two of the men
came TO the house early in the after
noon and inquired if the men folks
were home. Mrs. lines told them the
men were down in the woods driving
in the hogs. They said they knew bet
ter and one man entered the house.
Mrs. lines is said to have struck him
with a stick, when the second man
rushed in and grabbed her and forced
her into a chair and the two bound
her fast.
The robbers are said to have car
ried a large can of lard and other
foodstuff from the cellar into the
yard, saying the farmers had all the
money and food and they (the men)
were going to have some food for
northing. An old automobile that had
been in a shed and out of commission
a long time, the robbers tried to re-
pair, it is said. For some reason they
were frightened away and left the
farm.
Mrs lines is said to have managed
10 release herself about dark, just be
fore her son and his wife arrived
home. She described the three as
young men and all were in their shirt
sleeves, it is said. There are no clues.

Estate VETERINARIAN
SAYS VACCINATION
WILL END CHOLERA
tBy Associated Press>


INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 3.-Hog chol-
era, which is spreading alarmingly
through herds in Indiana can positive
ly be prevented by vaccination before
the disease attacks a herd says DIR.
tR. C. Julien, state veterinarian. Ihat
vaccination, practiced before the dis
ease has attacked a herd, is an efec-
tive means of preventing cholera, Is
clearly shown by conditions now pre-
vailing in the vicinity of Fairfield,
Ind, where farmers have kept their
swine free from the infection by ad-
ministration of serum and virus, &C
cording to a report received by Dr.
Julien.
From practically every section OF
| the state where farmers have neglect
ed to vaccinate, reports of outbreaks
of the disease continue to come in TO
the state veterinarian. Commenting
on the conditions which now exist in
the state representatives of the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry and
state officials point out the significant
fact that hog cholera appears to run
in cycles. The first period of excep-
tional prevalence reached its climax in
1887, the second in 1897 and the third
| in 1918 and 1914.
| Records Prove Losses.
Records kept by the United States
Department of Agriculture show thai
! in 1913 the farmers of Indiana sustain
ed a loss of 500,76 hogs. In 1914 there
was a decided decrease in the number
| lost, though the number of hogs OF
hand had increased more than 1000
The records show that the number o
animals dying from cholera has steadi
lily decreased each succeeding yea
until in 1917 the losses had been re
duced to 214,380 out of a total o
100000 hogs on hand
! These figures became PARTICULAR,

shows the poor fund had a balance Of
S5,81420 on hand at the close Of the
year. Total receipts for the year were
$19.S62.51, of which amount S4,729.70
was derived from sale of produce from
the infirmary farm. The amount re-
ceived from direct taxation was S14,-
1892. The cigarette tax brought in
S1S260. The sum of $3.50 was re-
ceived out of an inmates estate. On
September 1, 1920, the poor fund had
a balance Of $10,767.27 on hand, which
with the total income of s19.S62.51,
made a grand total of s30,629.7S.
