A THIEF AT LARGE IN
MARYLAND

A thief is now operating in
several counties of Maryland
that has one of the most unique
criminal careers in the annals Of
crime. This pilferer, so history
informs us, first began opera
tions in the State of Ohio about
1888. Possessing more energy
than conscience it widened its
field of operation until it is now
carrying on its nefarious prac-
tice in every state of the Union.
One striking feature of this
criminal is that it possesses no
means of locomotion. 1t depends
entirely on those whom it would
rob to carry or permit it to be
brought to their premises. Isn't
it almost unbelievable that a
thief so handicapped and after
80 years of operation should still
be permitted by the farmers to
steal their property?
An investigation of this arch
enemy of the farmers and stock
raisers has shown it to be Mr..
Hog Cholera germ and it is real
lv most interesting how in spite
Of its helplessness, it manages
to get around over the country
and continue its plundering.
One of its favorite methods of
getting to the hog pens is by hid
ing in bone, rind or scrap OF
pork. This is thrown into the
swill pail or garbage barrel and
fed to hogs. After being eaten
by the hogs, the balance is easy
for once in the animal it begins
to multiply and after the hog
is sick it throws off the infection
to the other swine in the herd.
Another successful mode en-
ployed for getting to free prem
ises is to have a farmer pur-
chase a hog which is already
sick or came from a place where
hog cholera existed.
After it once gets into neigh
borhood it depends on the care
lessness of the farmersto permit
him to get tossother farms. Moth
suits it better than to have a
farmer hide the fact that his
hogs are sick. Another bit of
thoughtlessness that works to its
benefit is for a farmer to throw
out the carcass of hogs for the
buzzards or hogs to dispose of.
He finds both these will help
him to get around toother farms.
A continual search is being
made for this criminal and should
you learn of any sick hogs
promptly report the fact to your
County Agent or the U. S. Spec
ialist of Hog Cholera in your
district.

PEARSON'S REPLY

Well, there it is, Mr.. Carlton, and
congratulate you on your ability as
a writer and reasoner. There will
not be room in this paper to fully
answer all you have written, and in
fact some Of it does not need answer
ing. I admit to start with that you
have a good deal of scripture which
seems ITO support your view. Butt
! also know there are scriptures which
seem to teach the exact opposite, and
why should we take all Of the texts
that we agree with and reject those
that don't happen to suit us? For
instance, why didn't you quote the
following?:
"There is none holy as the Lord. .
II Samuel 22.
| "There is no man that sinneth not. F."
II Kings SAG.
eff we say that we have no SIM
We deceive ourselves, and the truth
| is not in us."-I John g.
| "For there is not a just man upon
earth, who doeth good and sinneth
not."-Eccl. 7:2o.
"There is none that doeth good
no, not e"-Rom. 3:12.
"For all have sinned, and conaf
