children spell defeat in attainment of
life's ambitions for the majority.
To let a youth grow up careless of
the deeper issues of life is to curse
that child with terrible handicap
In the evening in speaking on mar
riage the pastor urged young men to
marry only that girl who would be a
true life partner and a home-maEer.
Butterflies and beauty-painters will
not make good homes. The wife has
a right to SO per cent of her hus-
bands wealth for she helps him make
it. A wife makes or mars a mans
future. The next reformation will be
to eradicate the social evil and to.
insist on a single standard of purity
for both sexes. Christ alone can help
men and women to have happy mar
riage and home.

Industrial Congress You'd Prevent Price
Initiation During Quarantine

The local meeting resulted in the
following pledge signed by most Of
the valley producing and distributing
firms: "We the Undersigned, here
by pledge ourselves to support to the
best of our ability all communities in
Arizona affected in the present quar-
antine regulations; to supply them
with food products at fair price,
taking no advantage of the quarantine
to initiate prices.
We offer ourservices on this. basis
with the understanding that the price
to the consumer be held as near
present levels as possible by the re-
tailers."
Producers and wholesalers of other
producing sections of the state will be
asked by the congress to give similar
cooperation.
DIR. F. T. Fahlen state superintend-
ent of public health, and DR.. S. E.
Douglas, state veterinarian in explain
ing the quarantine situation at the
local meeting declared that in view
of the extremely contagious nature of
the foot and mouth disease, and the
fact that the extent of the coast ep-
idemic will not be known for perhaps
two weeks, drastic steps had been con-
sidered necessary to safeguard Ariz-
ona, whose livestock industry would
be threatened with destruction if the
disease once gained a foot hold here.
DR.. Fahlen also explained that pres
ent regulations against parts of Cal
ifornia thus far not infected would be
modified if investigation by the direct
or of the state laboratory showed
modification would be safe.

of producers and distributors in sup
plying food stuffs and farm products

from usual sources of supply by the
embargo placed on California prod
ucts by the state in connection with
the food and mouth disease quaran-
tine were launched last week by the
Arizona Industrial Congress, which
issued theI following general appeal
to minimize the hardships which may
arise from the present quarantine on
California products: eve ask all pro-
ducers and wholesale and retail deal
ers to lend their aid and cooperation
in extending service to outlying dist
riots.
We ask that prices be held on a
fair level and no price initiation be-
resorted to as a result of condition
which has been declared necessary
for the protection of the whole state.
Let us all work together and show
that we are loyal to Arizona. Activ-
ity of the Industrial Congress in the
quarantine situation began Wednesday
morning when Governor Hunt called
to the attention of the organization
protests received against the quaran-
tine regulations, which ban all soil
products of California, the protests
coming from communities usually de-
pendent on coast supplies, the Indust-
trial Congress Immediately called a
meeting of local producers and dist
ributers to discuss means of meeting
the situation, and preparing to meet
the increased demands made on Ariz-
ona sources of supply.

whose colorful career dated back to
the sixties, when he travelled with p.

he had spoken hundreds of times in

1t was the same speech, but the
thousands who had laughed at the
lines in the heydey Of his success,
had 0windled to a solitary nurse who
sat by his bedside during his dying
hours, and the sawdust rings tower

had given place to a Eare hospital

The old testers wish that he might
die on the stage was denied him by
a few days. He was playing a minor
part in the drama. Queen Victoria, p"

another wish, however, and that was

Forty of Pete's eighty-two years

he would not resort to methods of
what he called modern knockout
clowns" he became familiar fig

Pete could relate many stories of
his life as jester. his favorite one
being how, while travelling with a

The problem is purely one of mer-

.HYDROPHOB|A SERUM
SAVES MANY LIVES,
OFFICIAL DECLARES

Hydrophobia, besides endangering
the lives Of many persons, costs
farmers Of Georgia thousands Of dol
lars annually in livestock lost from
the bites of mad dogs" according
to DR.. II. f. Abercrombie, the state
health board.
A vaccine has been developed to be
administered to dogs, cats and other
animals to prevent development of
hydrophoba, he said. Although the
board has no appropriation for dis
tributing this vaccine the health Of
ficer said it could be obtained for
persons desiring protection for their
animals.
While no specific price was given,
DR.. Abercrombia said the vaccine
never had cost more than $3.50 per
injection. The vaccine will give pro-
lection for a period of two years.
Animals knoW1 to have been bitten
by another suffering from hydro.
phobia should be given six injections
of the immunization vaccine to pre-
vent development of the disease ac-
cOrding to officials.
The Pasteur treatment for proven

by rabid animals has been highly de-
veloped and its use now by the state
health department has saved many
lives and continues to do so annu-
ally, it was said. The records for
the year ended December 81, 1928,
show that no lives were lost in Geor-
gia as a result of hydrophobia after
the treatment had been administered,
if was declared
In comparison with these figures,
it was pointed out, that government
statistics that throughout the United
States, Is per cent of the persons
bitten by rabid animals die without
the Pasteur treatment, but only 610
of one per cent who are treated die.
DR.. Abercrombie said that the
health department was anxious for
the farmer to take precautions to pre-
vent his animals from having hydro
phobia and urged that the owner of
live stock use ever means to insure
against tthe disease. Treatment for

Former Pastor Faces
Trial by Church for
Ku Klux Khan Work

ST. LOUIS, Jan. Announcement
was made today by the Southern
Methodist presiding elder, Rev. Dr.
Frank L. Wells, that Charles D. Nc.
Gehee, former local pastor, will be
brought to church trial. In the
meantime, McGehee has been sus-
pended from the exercise Of all min.
isterial functions.
McGehee, an active worker for the
Ku KIuX Khan, recently left his pull
pit to lecture in Missouri and Illinois
for that organization. His aggres-
siveness in behalf of the khan led to
criticism by Bishop w. f. McMurry
in local church at which time a
verbal alteration between the two
eliminated in McGehee bringing suit
against the bishop. This suit was
later withdrawn.
McGehee was the subject Of a
scathing resolution passed by the
executive committee Of the American
Legion post of st. Louis in which he
was described as unfit to minister
70 soldiers This action was brought
about by his appointment as a chap
lain in the officers reserve corps.
McGehee is living in Cairo, III.

Iowa State College, Testing
Power of Draught Animals,
Reveals Surprising Pulling
Ability of Quadrupeds

CHICAGO, Jan. MY strength
is as the strength of ten" would
be a comparative boast for a pedl-
greed draft horse, properly trained
and conditioned.
For "Pete" ard Bob" champion
draft horses OF America by virtue
of their survival of tests by the
newly invented tractive dynamome-
ter, the phrase would be an UNDER
statement of their powers. The result
Of the tests must be a revision Of
conceptions of what is a "horsepow-
err" according to Wayne Dinsmore,
of America.
Pulling Against Odds
"TheSe two horses eXerted q trac-
tive pull of $50 pounds continuous
ly for six seconds, moving their load
twelve feet" says Secretary Dins-
more.
"Tractive pull is the measure of
energy in pulling a load. Now let
me translate that performance into
familiar terms. Here in Chicago a
load of coal weighing ten tons with
three horses. It takes a tractive pull
of LEGO pounds to start such a wag-
on; but in less than a second, when
the wheels begin turning, the energy
required is greatly reduced.
These champion horses, two Of
them as compared with three hitch
ed to the coal wagon, eXerted a pull
half as great as the loaded wagon,
and kept it up without slackening
for six painful, straining, fighting
:econds."
Continuance Is Automatic
The horses, owned by the Sheffield
Farms, New York, set their record
in tests conducted by the horse as
s, citation in New York. There were
niuar tests earlier this fall at the
Jwa State fair, following invention
Of the dynamometer by Professor
E. V. Collins, Of Iowa State col
lege.
The machine looks much like a
farm wagon. Its wheels may be
locked by hydraulic power, not to
be released until a certain pull is
exerted Whenever the pull is re-
duced, the wheels lock again.
John Coffee, driver of the win
ming team, never touched them with
a whip, or even cracked it at them"
says Dinsmore. GAS an accelerator
he had three pebbles in a tin can,
and when he wanted to stir their
best effort he ratified the can. Fe
is one of the best drivers in the
country"
