when it isn't one thing, it is an
other" as the Bureau of Animal In
dustry will testify. and it's officials
will admit that there is something in
the old saying about "out of the fry
ing pan into the fire" And reversing
another every silver lining has it's
dark cloud
The long campaign against the cat
tie tick in the Southern States has at
last reached a point where this men,
ace has been largely eliminated, with
result that the animal industry has
been greatly stimulated. Largely in
creased herds are appearing every
where in the warm m-climated States.
And that's where the trouble comes
in Along with the warm climate
goes great number of internal para
sites, stomach worms, lung worms
and other kinds that prey upon the
animals to far greater extent than
in the colder States to the north.
Some success has been obtained in
the fight against two of these para
sites-namely, the hookworm and the
round worm of swinish leanings. The
work, however, requires the most
constant vigilance, with the result
that the time of the few available Of
ficials is entirely occupied.
With indications of further growth
in the animal population of the State
and the multiplying of the costs of
the campaign of eradication of the
parasites as the number Of infected
animals increases, officials are cast
ing about for funds to make a drive
now before it will become more
costly.

PROMPT STEPS HALT

Federal Officials Limit Outbreak of
Hoof-and- Mouth Disease.
$500 Cattle Slain.

An outbreak of foot-and mouth dis
ease in Texas, which for a time
threatened heavy loss and caused a
fairly general embargo against the
state, has given way before gov
ernmental efficiency, and, after the
slaughter of some 1900 or more cat
tie and p sheep from September 81
until the prese mt time, is believed to
have been snuffed out
When the first case of this highly
INFECTIOUS disease was reported dur
ing the waning days of September.
Dr. Marion lines, in charge of con-
troll work in Texas, rushed to the To-
cal1ty where the outbreak occurred
and began at once upon the work of
preventing the spread of the malady
And started on a hunt for all cases
within an area which was placed un-
Aer the strictest quarantine.
with the co-opertion of State and
eecal officials, it was believed that be-
tween the first day of the disease and
6cober Is every case had been dis
covered and the infected animals
slaughtered and buried deep in the
ground. During this period nine
neras, totallng 5000 cattle and an ad-
dltlonal $500 cattle running at large.
were found to have been infected and
were promptly killed
since that time, however, one other
outbreak was discovered within the
quarantined area and dairy herd of
242 cattle and herd of 81 sheep were
also slaughtered. These animals. in
stead of being buried, were incinerat-
ed, as water was too near the surface
at the point where they were located
me apparent eradication of the
ulsease, however, has not ended the
troubles of the Texas agriculturists
Strlctest embargoes have been placed
against them by many States, and
vegetable and fruit growers in par
tlcular are facing serious losses as
their perishable crops are ready for
the market. Turkey raisers also are
in serious predicament with their
f1ocks ready and Thanksgiving a,
hand.
The Federal Department of Agri-
culture has pointed out to the vari-
Gus States that they may safely mod
ify their rigid embargoes, as the in
fected area is well isolated and is OF
small size. Three States-Arkansas
Missouri and Oklahoma-have sent
veterinarians to the scene, and after
receiving their reports have modified
their restrictions.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, November s.
Chief executives or representatives of 20
railroad brotherhoods and affiliated
labor organizations met here today
to plan a legislative campaign before
Congress, particularly regarding the
Howell -Barkley bill. which seeks abo-
lftion of the United States Railroad
Labor Board. Warren S. Stone, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers, who issued the call
for the meeting, presided.
The railway brotherhoods and
unions will seek to have Congress,
when it reconvenes in December, pass
the Howell-Barkley bill, which would
substitute machinery for the media
ton of railway labor disputes for the
arbitration provisions in the trans
portation act of 1920. According to
a statement of Mr.. Stone given out
after the meeting, the bill would re-
vive the old joint conference boards
created by the Newlands and Erdman
acts.
The labor provisions Of the trans
portation act were declared by the
delegates at the meeting to be a
complete failure"
The conference is understood also
to have canvassed the general situa-
ton of railway labor from Z legis-
|latiye point of view.

The ceremony of bringing in the
Yule log was observed, of decorating

the lighted candle in the window, and

Still later Christmas became a day
marked by bountiful dinners given to

than merely a time of feasting and
merrymaking.
And slowly the real Christmas spirit
is coming more and more into the
hearts of humanity as we grow each

peace, good will to men," means more

BOOKS FOR LIBRARY

THE Womans club is keeping on

library for Winslow. In this work
they should be supported and aided
by every literate citizen Of the town.
No doubt most people have in their
homes volumes of fiction or refer
ence, some in good condition, which
have been read by all members of the
family and are no longer referred to.
Such volumes could be and should be
donated toward the building up of the
supply now being collected by the
club. When such supple becomes in
number sufficient to make possible
the opening of a library, and suit
able place for their circulation can
be found, a civic library viii be es
tablished. Mrs Walter Odds is in
charge of the collection of books for
the Woman's club, and any book left
at her home, if still in condition to
circulate, will be added to the library.

and by the middle of the fourth CEN
fury this date was generally recog-
nized. In the pagan nations this had
been the time when a festival of joy
took place because it was then that
the sun was supposed to begin to re-
cede from the equartor.
They celebrated the 21st of Deem
Der by all manner of licentious revels
and heather debauchery, and even
after the coming of Christianity it was
centuries before these pagan customs
and practices were eliminated. And
it was not until after the middle
ages that the meaning and the sig
nificance of the season began to dawn
upon the minds and hearts of men.
In old England Christmas became
time of feasting, drinking and hilari-
Gus merrymaking-no very adj
vanced conception, but step beyond
the pagan idea. Later the spirit Of
Puritaism began to influence English
customs and public zeal ran so high
that all gayety and all festivity came
to be considered sinful.
All observances of special days were
declared designed by the "deville,"
and the famous Roundhead parlia-
ment set aside the celebration of
Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide
For twelve years no special days
were observed in England, and when
they were once more taken back into
favor the result was what might have
been expected, for the Christmas sea-
son became time of feasting, drink
ing, dancing and wild revel, lasting
for twelve days and nights. The lord
of misrule came into existence-this
was the chosen master of festivities,
into whose hands the keys of the
house were given and whose word was
law while the revel lasted. The days
and nights were full of call manner of
hilarity, and a most wild and merrie
time was had" we are told.
At first only the royal households
had these lords of misrule, but the
custom spread until almost every
household had it's ruler of the sea-
sons revels. But gradually, as time
passed, these wild celebrations gave

and safety of others.
Few people seem to feel any dis
grace over being arrested for vioIat-
ing traffic rules. Over 100000 per
sons in the United States each year
are charged with violation of the law
with automobiles. 1t is pointed out
by the Automobile club of Arizona
that the safest and most respected
drivers are those who observe the law
closely at all times and who con-
stantly keep in mind the rights and

SPEEDING

GREATER respect for the law, it
~ is believed, is coming as a result
of the determined efforts in various
communities to eliminate speeding
Many fast drivers are learning that
their idea of what constitutes safe
speed is not the same as that of the
authorities, so that fine or jail sent
ence results.
Being arrested for reckless driving
is often held as proof that the driver
not only lacks respect for the law
