BLAckLEG VACCINE NO LONGER
DISTRIBUTED BY DEPARTMENT

Distribution of blackleg vaccine by
the bureau of animal husbandry, I'm
tied States Department of Agriculture,
practice which has prevailed for
many years, was discontinued July 1,
and public notice was given at the
time.
Discontinuance was the result of
an item In the agricultural appropria-
tion act for the year beginning July
/, 1922, which reads as follows: PRO
vided further. That no part of this
sum shall be used for the manufac-
ture, preparation or distribution of
blackleg vaccine" Frequent requests
for vaccine continue to reach the bu-
reau of animal husbandry. however,
and applicants necessarily are advis-
ed to obtain the vaccine from other
sources. Since the blackleg vaccine
is no longer distributed by the bu-
reau of animal husbandry, livestock
owners are advised that applications
cannot be granted, and they will avoid
delay by applying direct to CONNER
cial concerns or other sources.

MINNESOTA ADOPTS AREA PLAN

Minnesota. third in rank as a dairy
state, has now definitely taken up the
area plan for the eradication of bo-
vine tuberculosis. County state and
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture are to cooperate in carry
ing ON the work Some time ago a
committee of breeders was appointed
by the state livestock sanitary board
to investigate plans for continuing
the fight against the disease. Recent
ly the committee met with the sani-
tary board and a resolution was unan-
imously adopted asking the legisla-
ture for 100000 for area work for
two years, the work to be carried on
in two counties. In addition. the leg
islature is to be asked for $500, 900
per annum for two years for accredit'
ed herd work. The plan is approved
by the state veterinarian.
According to the plans laid out, ii

The three big dairy states-Wiscon-

Texas holds the records for the
highest individual catch Of predatory
animals made by one hunter in one
month. according to a report receiv-
ed by the United States Department
OF Agriculture. The hunter, who was
working near Eagle Pass. in Maver-
ick county. caught 104 coyotes and 10
bobcats in "a days actual trapping
operations. This good work was
part of the effort of the biological
survey to help ranchmen in the con
troll of dangerous and destructive an
imals throughout the state, Previous
to September, 1921. state funds we're
available for this purpose; but since
that time only funds from the federal
appropriation, amounting to s15,100,
have been available to carry on the
work.
Even with this small fund, how
ever. much has been done. Individual
stockmen or groups of stockmen in
clubs who wish to obtain protection
of their own interests have agreed to
pay two-thirds of the salary of the
hunters assigned to their various ter
ritories. and the other third is paid
from federal funds.
In this way about 20 hunters can
be retained on the force This plan
has been readily adopted in spite of
a general shortage of money and a
slump in the ranching business. Cam
paigns we're started in different coun-
ties. with excellent results In addi-
ton to trapping, shooting and hunt
ing with dogs, great many preda-
tory animals have been destroyed by
means of poison bats.

 The chances Gre that the editor would shake his head and return the manuscript without reading 1t. You may know this story is founded on fact" he would say. but no one who did not know the facts would believe 1t. It is absolutely impossible for a human being to write such a story 90 to scoff and say Impossible Don't found your stories on fact. Feet, stranger than fiction, is altogether too strange to be believed"
 Were such a story to be written 1t is probable that practically all of the people who read 1t would assume, without question, that 1t was merely the outpouring of an oyer-imagina- tive mind and would place little cred ence on the basic theme. And herein lies the reasoT for much of the doubt ing of the things that cannot be proven, prevalent today.
 
 There Is great danger in carrying too far the belief in things that can not be proven as we would prove a commonplace fact. But there is equal danger in scoffing at things merely because they are not patently possi- ble. The materialist who will not heed anything which is not plain to his own mind fails utterly to realize that the limitations of his mind, do not measure the limitations of the minds of others and that the limita- tions of greater minds, elastic as they are, do not mark the bounds of pos sibility.
 The man who scoffs at something because, to him, it seems most i'm probable would do well to remember not only that truth is stranger than fiction" but also that there may be things undreamed of by him that are stranger than truth as used in this sense.

MARCON SAYS U. 5.
 LEADS IN WIRELESS
Returns From London and Is En- thusiastic Over Progress Here

London, Sept. s.-Wiliam Marconi, who has just returned to London from his American tour, is enthus- iastic over the vast progress made in wireless teiegraphy and telephony in the United States since his last visit In an interview today he declared that the Americans were far ahead of the English in broadcasting and in wire less development generally.
 The Americans have reached a greater perfection of detail than have the British" the famous inventor said. The clearness of speech and the remarkable ease with which mes sages are received in the United States are amazing"
 Music Clearer
 MT. Marconi said the music trans- mitted by wireless in America was much clearer than the photograph. Tt is in fact" said he, "as loud as many American jazz bands, and that Is saying a good deal.

These tests seemed to confirm the opinion that the disturbances which interfere with wireless originate on the continents and not on the sea When he was near Europe, they all came from the east, or European side, whereas, when he was in mid-Atantic, he found that the disturbances were few and weak, and that they were coming from pretty we'll all around On nearing America, the disturbances from the European side were very weak, while those from the American side were more marked.

SHOES

It is said that more attention Is
 to be paid to the health giving, or
 health preserving qualities Of shoes
 in tha iuture: that high heels for women are going or have gone out and that the brosue, for men, will be the popular kind, Both statements
 may be true--probah are true, Tn fact but the inspiration of the change is not the eager desire on the part of those who design shoes to preserve the good health of men and women.
 High heels for women came in be- cause they were distinctive, dainty, different. They gave an air of attrac- ton to the smartly dressed women who wore them which elevated liter ally and metaphorically, their wear CTS above other women who had not adopted the fad. But gradually high heels became common. Every girl thought she must have them, and she wore high heels no matter what she was doing or no matter how they failed to harmonize with the rest of her costume, which might happen to be ball gown or housedress. When this condition of affairs was recogniz- ed, women who could pick and choose and wear any sort of shoes they want cd no matter though they still had serviceable ones which must be dis carded if change were made, de- manded something different. The obliging manufacturers made low heeled shoes. Such women wore them long before others had discarded the high heels-have been wearing them for some time.
 In a less degree the same rule ap- plies to the shoes of men. They wore pointed toed shoes years ago, for in- stance, but under protest, and the life of such shoes was short. Men welcomed comfortable shoes, and have had them, the wisest of them, those who had to be on their feet a great deal-the working men-sling- ing always to the broad toes There is a feeling among real men that fancy shoes, sharp toes and the like, are not appropriate for men who are suppos- ed to be above consideration of such things.
 Styles in shoes will change as often as the manufacturers are able to in- spire a change-it is good for their business. Health and consideration for health has little to do with it. There will always be desire for different--a slight indica- ion of the splendid trait of divine liscontent

SECOND THOUGHTS"

The latest news from Washington makes it appear that the Attorney General will, of his own motion, sug- gest the modification of the provisions of the temporary injunction granted at the governments instance The particulars which he will have changed and which, incidentally, are the ones which The Herald criticized are those which seek to limit free speech and those tying up union funds, The former, as they stand, are practically impossible of enforcement. to say nothing of the injustice of the situation were they to be enforced.
 Probably the seeking of an injunc- ton by labor to prevent the carrying out of the terms of the government 8 injunction is the result of the too sweeping terms of the order sought and obtained by the Attorney General. Had he limited his requests of the court to an injunction which merely forbade interference with transporta- tion, interference with men who want ed to work and interference with rail- road property, and whict forbade physical violence, 1t is doubtful if any, one would have had the temerity to ne1y tn such court order, even though such attempt to make the injunction of no effect were to be made in the or derly manner, through the courts.
 When honest men who have vital, personal interest in neither capital nor labor, other than their keen interest to see fair play on both sides feel hesitant about writing comments upon the injunction obtained-such hesi- tancy coming because of the sweeping terms of the injunction and the un- certainty on the part of such fair critics as to whether or not they will be violating it's terms if they com ment upon it--it proves pretty con- clusiyely that there is something wrong with the terms of the injunc- ton. And many such honest men did hesitate to give their honest opinion concerning 1t for this reason. Those especially interested in labor will not be the only ones who will feel reliev- ed when this temporary order of the court is modified.

 John c. Loomis, George T. Kim ball, Joseph R. Anderson, Judge George Klett, George H. Dyson, E. W. Christ and William H. Rattenbury.
 A joint meeting of members of the Chamber of Commerce and Rotary club was held in connection with the regular Rotary luncheon yesterday, at which Howard Strong of the Ameri- can City Bureau was the principal speaker.
 Mir. Strong spoke of the ancient feeling that the tradesman or busi- nessman was a trickster, liar and cheat. He stated that the prejudice against tradesmen, so abhorrent to the American, had it's inception among the traditions surrounding the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Accepted business principles were cited. including the following Dog eat dog" Every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost."
 He told of the development of a fair business, ethical business and the Chambers of Commerce, KinaYlis clubs and Lions clubs were named as the causes of the improved status of bus mess today.

SOFT COAL

"Considerable soft coal must be used in this town and 1t cannot be impressed too strongly on the people, This is the statement of E. w. Christ, chairman of the fuel commission.
 Occasion is taken here to impress this statement upon the people as urged by MT. Christ. The sooner all of us realize that we will have to burn a good deal of soft coal, the sooner we will realize the necessity of learn ing how to do it as easily and safely as possible. And the people would be glad if the fuel commission would aid them to use the soft coal in the proper way.
 Many statements as to the best manner of burning it-the safe way have been made. Those statements are confusing and involved. Possibly they have not been seen by some of those who will have to make use of this fuel this winter. If soft coal is treated and burned as hard coal is burned, there are bound to be accidents. On the other hand it seems that soft coal is burned pretty generally in some parts of the country with few unpleas- ant results and with practically no serious consequences.
 It would facilitate matters if the fuel commission would formulate an authoritative statement, brief, easily understood. as to the proper way to build, ignite and keep burning soft coal fire for furnaces built to burn hard coal These statements should be sent out generally The cost would be comparatively small and the good re- suits would be great. Care should Noe taken in the preparation of these statements that they should be madeN in as few words as possible and the operation described simply. Half a dozen sentences should be sufficient to give the necessary information. Pages of explanation could be appended if 1t were thought necessary, but the plain statement as to how to build, | light and maintain the fire should be covered in three or four lines.

THE ONLY WAY

1t would seem that there is but one way in which a settlement may be made in the railroad strike which will involve no complete surrender by one side and no broken promises-and promises by the railroads to new men and to men who remained at work during the strike seem to be the ob- stacles preventing settlement, these promises being such that restoration of seniority rights in certain cases is impossible. How many of those roads have made such promises is not known Locally the New Haven road has made representations to new men which must be recognized, if honor and the value of spoken word is to re- tain it's place of importance. But no settlement which involves the destruc- ton of unions should be advised.
 The way to settlement would in volve concessions on both sides Both
 
 complish what it is said they wish to accomplish. But transportation would be resumed without the uncertainty now prevailing.
 Under supervision of the Labor rights on the roads where new men or old men have not been induced to prevent this restoration. As those men who went to work or who stayed at or giving up their jobs or through in efficiency, let the old men, strikers now who would have had those rights be given them again. For each new man" leaving the job let one striker receive back his seniority rights. Let not those valuable rights lapse, as would be the case if new man, hav- ing gained them because of his going to work in this crisis, left the employ ment of the road, were this suggestion not to obtain. Care would have to be taken that no pressure was brought to bear upon him by union men to make particularly valuable ae yet. More of such men will leave their jobs than is expected, probably. More seniority rights would be restored, under this arrangement than might be supposed. And the restoration of such rights would then come without the break ing of any promises to men who went to work or stayed at work relying upon them.
 Labor accuses the roads of trying to break up unionism. This recogni- ton of the continued existence of particular seniority rights to become the possession of particular man the moment his chance comes, would em- phasize the power of unionism-the vN1isoads would gain no "fall' over
