State Motor Vehicle Dept. Issues Regulations in "No Accident Campaign"

Following is the bulletin sent out by the state motor vehicle department for No accident campaign in this state, giving rules and regulations for the governing of trafic which are ex- pected to lower the accidents which are occurring daily:
 TO ALL CHIEFS OF POLICE AND
 OTHER PERSONS INTERESTED
 IN THE SAFETY CAMPAIGN
 FOR LESS MOTOR VEHICLE
 ACCIDENTS:
 arc at present engaged is being well received by the press and public at large. The actual plan has not been in operation long enough at this time so that any definite results can be quoted. In q general way, the work is taking form throughout all of the large cities in the state and is being extended through the Motor Vehicle Department and State Police Depart ment on the highways between cities,
 The following is the suggestion Of the Motor Vehicle Department for a program during the month of May:
 Speed.
 continued attempt on the part of the city police departments to insist upon less speed on city streets is sug- gested. The analysis of accidents by cities, just begun to be sent out by the Motor Vehicle Department. demon strates conclusively that the majority of accidents occur at intersections. Speed, 10 such an extent as 10 place the car out of absolute control, is an element in each of these accidents. In order to be effective, speed must be held down to the legal ratS. The type of vehicle known as the delivery car. as pointed out in the April Bulle- tin, is still an offender.
 The System of Hand Signals.
 During the "No-Accident Cam paign" of the Fall of 1921, widespread publicity was given to a hand signal system and for long time after that campaign the hand signal system was thoroughly and efficiently used. An attempt should be made during the month of May to impress upon all drivers the desirability of giving thorough signals. The hand signal system is thoroughly known through out the state and every driver is pre- stunned to know it. It is, therefore, only a question of insisting upon its use. This Department will promptly follow up any complaints received by it for failure to use this system where it's use is indicated. The use of me chanical system should. at the present stage, be auxiliary to the hand signal system. The most common form of

PETTY POLITICIANS
 ACCUSED IN SPEECH
Blamed for Blocking Hardine's
 Plan Of Government

New York, May S.--President Hard ings plan for more business in gov ernment; less government in busi- ness" is being blocked "by the petty jealousies and conceits of men in high official position" Mortimer F: Cooley, president of the American engineering council asserted here to- day. His statement followed a recent conference at the White House where MT. Cooley rendered to the president his organizations support in the movement to establish federal de- partment of public works. MT. Cooley, who also is dean of the University of Michigan in his plea to members of the engineering council said:
 ''The president of the United States is endeavoring to formulate a program for reorganization of federal functions according to precepts that govern the efficient conduct of private business. He is following principles originally adopted in the movement of techni- cal men of the country to secure a federal department of public works.
 "The presidents course was easy until he began to specify chang es that should take place in the govern nert to conform to these cardinal principles. He is now encountering oppoeition so strong and well sup ported that it is feared his efforts may be defeated even as were the efforH of former President Roosevelt and Taft along the same line. The president is hnr in, nf frif IJy sistarce of those who have no pre- jeudices. no self seeking and who have no special purposes to serve.

most hearty welcome. \ very APP
pctiMng lunch, consisting Of coffee,
cake, sandwiches and pickles was

but to all the rest of the gathering,
as none were aware that Mr.. Brown
had passed another milestone. He cut
the cake and gave each one present
a most generous portion. After the
lunch the ladies gathered the dishes
and departed, leaving the men to fin

REPUBLICAN CENTRAL
COMMITTEE MEETS

Last Saturday evening the Repub.
Iican County Central Committee of
this county, together with the pre-
cinct cOmmitteewomen and the candi-
dates in this county held very inter
esting meeting at Masonic Hall in
White River. A dandy good banquet
had been provided for those in at.
tendance, and Mr.. Granger Of Jack
son county was present to give very
interesting talk on the political issues
involved in this campaign. Plans
were made for an aggressive campaign
between now and election in this
county and a series of school meetings
were arranged for. Besides the usual
political speaking at these meetings,
At was agreed to try and have an eve
ming Of community singing, and these
meetings will in reality be more Of n
social gathering where the issues of
this campaign will be talked over.
Those in attendance at the meeting
Last Saturday night seemed to be very
optimistic of the outcome on Novem-
bcl I. 1t seemed to be the unanimous
opinion that the Republican ticket in
the county would receive a good round
majority, and that our present eff
cient county officials who are serving
their first term will be returned for
another two years. The nearer elec-
tion day approaches the brighter the
prospects for a complete Republican
victory.

FARM BUREAU NEWS NOTES
BY E. G. Rudolph, County Agent

The past week DR.. G. S. Weaver,
veterinarian of the State Extension
department, has been in Mellette coun-
ty. During the week meetings were
held at various places in the county.
Blackleg was of course the common
topic dealt with in regard to cattle.
In most cases where the germ free life
immune aggressin was used, vaccina-
alton has been successful. Instances
were found in the county where calves
six weeks old and old cows had died
from blackleg. This, however, is un-
usual, but proves that vaccination
should be carried out at least once
n year and in some instances twice
year where cattle have been pas
tured where blackleg has occurred.
Blackleg germs have been known to
live in the soil for ten years.
During the week we visited several
herds of hogs from which complaints
had come in to the county agent of
pigs dying and of not doing well. The
most common disease found prevail
ing among these pigs is Necrotic En-
teritis. This disease has frequently
been confused with hog Cholera in
the eastern part of the state.

Necrotic Enteritis

The disease affects very few old
hogs and is nearly always confined
to pigs weighing from 40 to 80 pounds.
lie is characterized by by very profuse
diarrhea. causing the animal to get
extremely thin and finally death re-
suits.
Nccrotic Enteritis is caused by
germ which is present on practically
all farms. This disease is one form
OF the disease necrobacilllosis. The
germs are very hard to kill as they
are very resistant to weather condi-
tons. They seem to act more freely
when they are in damp place, es-
pecially in a mud hole. 1t is hardly
practical to clean and disinfect farm
for necrotic ents,itis, bst, of course,
cleaning and dislnfecting will always
help.
About the first symptom noticed is
a diarrhea developed by the young pig.
The animal gets very thin, has wrink-
led sides and ia very weak. No fever
worth noticing, accompanies this dis
case. The animal may have some loss
Of appetite but as usual thing will
Eat quite freely. Although he may eat
continually he gets thinner and poorer
very day. Many of thes animals
will wobble around several weeks be-
fore death takes place. Some few
will recover but they will rarely make
good hogs.
When the animal is opened up after
the disease has overcome him, the
lining of the large and small intest-
inc is found to be dead and sloughing
off The germ has the power of kill
ng the lining membrane of the in
testincs. AS result the intestines
are greatly thickened and inflamed
and Immediately next to the Inning of
he intestine we find a yellowish,
cheesy mass which is covered by
dirty brown mass. 1t can be readily
seen that hog in this condition can
not digest his feed and neither can
he absorb any nutrition from the feed
that he eats.
The treatment is not very hopeful.
No specific vaccination exists. 1t has
been found by experiment that when
a bacterin made up of the germs that
cause this disease is injected into a
hog it produces an abcess and there
fore, it is impossible to produce
bacterin which is a specific for ne
crotis cnteritis. Naturally some in
ternal antiseptic is indicated and
probably the best ore so far found
is sulpho- -carbolates. This drug comes
II the form Of tablets and one tablet
,hould be dissolved in slop pail of
slop once or twice day, for every
two weeks.
Every sick animal should be immed-
lately isolated for the reason that he
will soon contaminate the feed of the
rest of the animals if this is not done.
MANY times these pigs are not worth
he treatment in order to bring around
recovery and probably the owner
would be better off if the pigs were
killed when they get in this condition.
