Hog Cholera Prevalent
In Some Nearby States

Watch your hogs. There is
much hog cholera in some of the
adjoining states. It is more pre-.
valent in the fall months. and in
herds that have not been immun.
lied the loss is almost a hundred
per cent. Do not ship in ulim-
munized hogs. for experience has
shown that safety rests only in
the assumption that all stockyards
and stock cars are infected. One
or more animals shipped in for
breeding purposes, or stock hogs,
should be given the serum treat
ment before they are started on
their journey. Ifnot immunized,
such hogs must positively be kept
away from other hogs. upon their
arrival. for at least twenty-one
days.
When a hog staggers in walk
ing, has a high temperature, and
refuses to eat, he has simtoms
that strongly indicate cholera.
Call your veterinarian. or notify
the State Veterinarian at once.
If the heard is treated with the
serum on the first day the loss
will be small, but if the disease
is allowed to reach a large num-
Der of of hogs before the treat
ment is given, the loss will be
very heavy; probably a half or
two-thirds of the heard will die.
Anti-hog. cholera serum is es-
sentially a preventive, but if ad-
ministered in large doses at the
very beginning of the disease,
will save a few of them. Hogs
that die from cholera should be
buried deep and covered with
lime, or better still. should be
burned to prevent spread of the
infection. Watch your hogs.

Jerry Messimer in his Eeatern
Colorado Leader has found q
loophole in the procedure taken
to build that new court house in
Lincoln county which was put to
a vote of the people up there last
week. and in a very lengthy
article in his paper this week
tells of the steps taken to put it
over. A paragraph taken from
his writeup reads thusly: ''But a
little history of what occurred at
Tuesdays election will make
most interesting reading matter.
In the first place. the whole court
house bond proposition has been
without a foundation, and the
Hugo business men have been
building air castles. The work
on the new court house will not
be started-not until a bond
issue has been placed before the
voters of this county in a legal
and lawful manner. Voting on
a $50. 10000 bond issue cannot
be accomplished by just printing
a bunch of ballots and letting
some qualified voters vote on the
issue and turning down the
others. even though they present
tax receipts and even though
they show that they are property
owners and the taxes on said
property have been paid.
We were wonderfully surprised
to think that the Taxpayers
League would at the eleventh
hour go to the extremes in try
ing to put over a bond issue.
For the mere sum Of ten cents.
a dime. a tenth of a dollar, a
man or woman became a property
owner and held a tax receipt, and
was qualified to vote. And then
to think that hundreds Of real
nest-to-goodness property own
ers, and many who had paid their
taxes and presented their tax re-
ceipts were not allowed to vote.
A number were refused the right
to vote in practically every pre-
cinct in the county, even though
they were qualified and. showed
their receipts, after learning that
their names did not appear on
the prepared list of qualified
electors.
| We did not think that the
members Of the League would
stoop to fragrant violations of the
laws of Colorado in order to get
their new court house. Fraud
has been committed. and they
must stand the consequences"
il There is a little hamlet in Otero
county namely, Cheraw. that is

Red Cross Membership Drive

After the war there were-con-
siderable funds held by the local
chapter of Red Gross which
would have been absorbed by the
national headquarters had they
not been used for home service.
The local executive committee
has worked and planned as the
best service to the most people
the combination rest room and
library now in the court house.
This room now giving good SER
vice was furnished every cent of
it by the Red Cross.
For two years the local chapter
has refrained from putting on a
Roll Call drive for membership
because they had nothing to
show the people for money COL
!ected. but now that through
their efforts and Red Cross funds
the rest room and library service
is established. They are going
to ask for financial support. they
are not going to ask for donations
nor large sums cf money but
just that each and every person
become a member Of this local
chapter which is doing this work
for the community and such
membership costs just exactly
one dollar. May we not have
your support for this much? The
date of the drive will be Saturday
November 18th, in the meantime
examine the work being done
and if you have not used the SER
vice offered by the rest room and
library by all means do, it was
planned and accomplished for
you make use of it and support it.

The editor does not want any,
one to send him any more copies
of his paper in which they find
mistakes. If they find a perfect
copy, however. he will pay a big
price for it. If the fool critic
who hunts for mistakes in the
newspapers would find them all.
he would be kept busy. We will
be pleased to buy copies of any
paper which can be proven en-
tirely free from errors. either
geographically or in statements
of fact. We will be pleased to
find a merchant who never made
a mistake in putting up an order;
a lawyer who never lost a case
through his own errors; a doctor
who never wrongly diagonized a
case: a druggist who never made
a mistake; a post office official
who never put mail in the wrong
box; a woman who never forgot
to put in the salt while cooking
or to put the tea in the teapot

est Paramount picture which comes
to the Liberty theatre Sunday.
This set is said to have been one
Of the largest and most realistic
ever constructed on studio stage.
thousands Of toys were used, every
10y shop In Los Angeles being de-
nuded of its wares, in fact, while
hundreds Of adults and children
were lured to make up the crowd Of
Christmas shoppers.
The feature Of these scenes is the
appearance of Miss McAvoy as an
animated doll in big playhouse
guarded by several boys dressed as
tin soldiers. This sequence will
exert a strong appeal to the kiddies
of this city.
Besides the toy shop there is n
succession of scenes atop a New
York tenement which are fun Of
action and drama; these include n
realistic blizzard and fight be
tween Edward Cecil and Walter
McGrail.

descriptions. Since the age of seven
Master Griffith has been a screen

Moreover, both his parents are on

riously one Of the comedy scenes in
"The Dictator" new Paramount
feature starring. Wallace Reid. This
scene seems to be convincing proof
that morale and confidence more
than bullets are the important fac
tors in war.
In this scene from the picture
founded on the play, by the late
Richard Harding Davis, Mr.. Reid
and an army Of rebels of pseudo
South American country charge the
loyal army, firing volleys of blank
cartridges from their guns and turn
a near defeat into victory. The gov
ernment troops don't know the
shells are blank, and, their own ann
unition exhausted, they flee like
rabbits through the dense smoke.
Neither do the rebels know the
shells they are firing are blanks,
but, thinking them real bullets, they
fire with courage and make vic
torious charge.
This is only one of the many big
spectacular scenes in this new pic
ture, which was filmed under the
direction of james Cruze. More than
1900 persons were used in this bat
tie scene. Lila Lee is the heroine,
playing the daughter of the rebel

enacted on roof top and there is a
happy blending of comedy and

company is excellent.
