Work Animals Suffer

Losses among work animals due to
heat stroke have been reported during
the last few days and weeks, according
to DR.. J. II. Bux, State Veterinarian Of
Arkansas.
I'VE read in the newspapers about
the number Of prostrations among hu-
man beings and often forget the suffer
ing Of our work animals DR. Bux,
Head of the Department Of Veterinary
Science, College Of Agriculture, Uni
versity of Arkansas, said. Work ami
mails should be closely observed and If
signs of dullness. depression, uncer-
tain gait. stumbling or swelling appear
with difficult breathing, the animals
should be removed from the harness
and placed in cool, shady place and
cold water dashed upon them freely.
If ice is available, a pack applied to
the head is beneficial. II is not uncom-
mon for an animal to attain temper
ature Of 1OS degrees when too hot"
DR.. Bux points out that animals dis
playing pronounced symptoms of heat
stroke should not be worked for week
or ten days. If placed in harness they
should be closely observed and should
be removed upon the slightest signs Of
exhaustion.

of last meeting were read and ap-
proved.
DR.. P. N. Fenger appeared be-
fore the board and presented the
present status of diphtheria. APP
proximately 200 deaths occur an
nually in Minnesota from diph-
liberia; this number can be great
ly reduced, yes, even wiped out.
Heretofore anti-toxin has been
given the sick, now the healthy
are vaccinated. By means of the
Schick test it can readily be de-
termined whether or not child
is immune. The present plan in
several places and the idea is
spreading-is to vaccinate the
school children. Through the
united efforts of boards of health,
school boards, physicians and par
ents vaccination is being done
and thus Ia liberia will be prac-
tically wiped out.

FAIL TO
EARN FAIR RETURN

Washington, D. C.-Farmers failed
to earn fair return on the capital in.
vested and fair wage last year, al.
though they Jared better financially
than in the preceding year, the de.
partment of agriculture declared in an
analysis of the agricultural balance
sheet.
On the total capital invested in agri.
culture, the return for the year was
estimated at 4.6 per cent, compared
with 3.3 the year before. In round
figures the net income for the 1924-25
season, the department said, was s2r
712,000000, compared with s1,992,O00,-
900 for 1924.
This sum, however, did not go en-
tirely to farmers, as they own only 10
per cent of the total capital and pay
interest on the balance. The return
on the farmers unencumbered capital
for the year was estimated at Al per
cent compared with 25 per cent the
preceding year, although they had to
pay an interest rate on borrowed CAPT
tai of Ga per cent last year compared
with 6.e per cent the year before.

Buick has always been noted for
its sealed chassis, which prevents
dirt or water entering any of tho
moving parts, L " It has added an
air cleaner. oil filter and gasoline
strainer, These, combined with the
standard Buick construction, prac-

any foreign substance entering the
engine or moving parts of the
chassis and, consequently, minimize
service requirements and add to the
life of the car.
Because these three new units
have no moving parts. there is moth
ing to get out of adjustment. They
require no power-in fact are thor
oughly automatic, and require only
occasional cleaning to remove the

The mechanical improvements in
troduced would have been consid-
cred impossibilities only n year ago.
They represent the work of Buick
research and engineering stats con-
stantly striving for betterments.
The new prices likewise represent
achievements of the engineering,
production and business depart
ments of the Buick organization, and
are in no small measure due to the
phenomenal approval OF Bucks by
the public. This latter factor has
resulted in continuously increasing
sales with the attendant possibili-
ties of economies in purchasing and
production.
The complete line includes 16 mod

in the Master Six class. In all cases
the distinctive Buick lines have

such as the rounding of radiator
lines and the addition OF streamline
mouldings. All are finished in new
