FORD DAY AT MoNETT

Saturday was "Ford Day" at Mo
nett and the business people gave a
nice line of prizes to Ford owners
who registered at the Ford Agency.
There were fifty prizes offered, but
there were not enough entries to take
up all the prizes, much to the disap-
pointment of the promoters. This was
held in connection with the monthly
sales day. Owing to the intense heat
and business conditions at this time,
sales day did not bring out the people
that are usually attracted to town on
the occasion.
The Commercial club had prepared
fine program, which w2s carried out
fully. This started at o'clock at the
Rialto Theatre. P. A. Rodgers, presi-
dent of the Ozark Fruit Growers As
s0ciation, spoke on fruit raising and
marketing. A good program of
motion pictures was given, after

The question--if cornstalks are frozen
after being harvested will prussic
acid develop? AS far as we know this
circumstance has never happened.
Just why prussic acid does not de-
velop in harvested co1nstalks | can
not say but such appears to be a fact.
Hemorrhagic Septicemia
The third condition, which occa-
sionally kills cattle running in the
confields and which is enormously
termed cornstalk disease, is hemor-
rhagic septicemia. Hemorrhagic sep
ticemia, as You are aware, is con-
tagious and infectious disease and is
due to a specific germ. There ap-
pears to be several classes of this
germ--one for horses, one for cattle,
one for hogs, etc. However, the germ
which causes disease in one class of
domestic animals will not cause the
disease in another class. This germ
is Of low disease producing ability. 1t
can be found practically everywhere,
however, low, damp shaded conditions
are necessary for its preservation.
Such conditions are found in corn
field. On account Of its low disease
producing ability it apparently can
only set up its disease processes In
ANNALS whose vitality and natural
well-bcing have been lowered by some
other condition. If cattle are turned
into cornficld from q bare pasture
and are allowed to overload with a
rather new indigestible feed, although
they may not show any affected con-
dition, that can be observed, from the
eating of such foods their vitality
may have been lowered to such an ex-
tent that it is possible for the hemor-
rhagic septicemia germs which are
present to start disease. Naturally

REAL WINTER WEATHER

The weather clerk has been handing
us some real winter weather the past
week. The mercury dropped down to
y below zero Monday night, which
is the low record for this winter, so
ar. Monday the mercury stood below
zero all day and with good stiff
northwest wind, it made it very dis
agreeable to be out, and the cold pene-
trated the buildings so that it was
very difficult to keep comfortable.
The past week has been very hard OH
coal piles, but it is making ice, and
with another week of such weather
our, people should be able to begin
putting up fine quality of ice for
next summers use, and we would ad-
wise putting up next summers supply
Of ice as soon as the ice gets tn the
proper quality and thickness. The
younger generation has been en;ov.n,g

HEAVY SNOW FALL

This section was visited by heavy
snow fall, Wednesday of this week.
The storm came from the north and
the snow fell gently. Thursday morn
ing the ground was covered with a
montle of the beautiful to a depth
Of aDdut eight inches. This snow is
very loose, and should a wind raise
before it sett les we would certainly
experience pretty bad storm and the
snow would be piled in great drifts
that would probably tie up traffic.
If wind does not disturb this snow
fall, it would prove to be one of the
most beneficial snow storms we have
had here for some time. The weather
ms dcrated scrle and it is not near IS
cold as it was the first ri the week.
II is still showing some as we are

STATISTICS ON 1T. B.

The National tuberculosis Associa-
ton has prepared life tables with tu-
berculosis included and with the same
disease excluded. On the basis of
these results is estimated that if tuber-
culosis were eliminated as the cause
Of death, two and half years would
be added to the life of each individual
in this country. Scientists hav placed
the economic value Of every life at
10000 per year. If tuberculosis can
v done away with in this country
with hundred million population
the annual economic saving would be
about twenty-five billion dollars.
The worst feature about tuberculo-
sis is that it kills the producers, the
most productive and necessary people,
taking its toll mostly from between
the ages of fifteen and forty years.
Think what it means to a community
to lose the bread winner in family.
Not only is there the suffering and
Expense Of caring for the patient, but
there is the expense to the county of
the family if they are dependent after
the patient has died. Several in
stances have occurred in South Dakota
where the actual expense to the coun-
ty has been or will be before the
results Of one case of tuberculosis are
entirely estimated over four thousand
dollars to the county.
One group of County Commission
ers in South Dakota when the subject
of the continuance Of the county nurse
was brought up, figured that if the
nurse did nothing more than prevent
the tuberculosis patients in that coun-
ty from becoming county charges, she
was earning a years salary every
month. This is real economy and who
can prove to the contrary7

bud Hampshire Breeders Association.

ing Mark Payne of Wood was elected
president, Wade Wickersham of Mis-
sion, vice-president, and Ralph Hutch.
innson Of Fyhite Rive, secretary and
treasurer.
Everyone present was in favor of
having an annual bred-sow sale and
decided to have one this winter. Sat-
urday, Feb. "a is the date planned on.
Future arrangements will be made for
this sale at the next meeting, which
will be held in White River Jan. g.
Every breeder of Hampshires should

slvely farther south and there are
many excellent reports following its

that the serum has not been in use

The last and fifth condition when
paradcs under the name Of cOrnstalk
disease is death from any cause.
Simply because the animal is running
in the cornfield at the time of death
the owner calls it comstalk disease.
| have known animals to die from
black leg and the cause Of death was
given out as the cornstalk disease on
account of the fact that the animals
were actually in the cornstalks. Also
there is no reason why animals can
not die from any one Of the many dis
eases and conditions which may pro-
duce deaths. If they die anywhere
else except in the cornfield we would
call the disease or condition by its
true name but because they are run
ming in the cornfield every death is
due to cornstalk disease.
This has been a rather lengthy dis
cussion and / feel that to you it has
been about as unsatisfactory as it is
long, however, hope you realize with
me that there is no one treatment or
one method of preventing the so-called

and diseases. However, /
