A young baby of the Widow Rush
was slightly burned Saturday when
the Rush home in West Pocahontas
was destroyed by fire.
The mother was away from home,
at work. and had left the child and
another baby in the care OF her five
year old son. The fire was discovered
about noon by neighbors and the roof
Of the house was falling in on the
children when they were rescued. Only
one of them. the smaller, was burned.
Its injuries were not serious.
The origin of the fire has not been
determined.

MANY HOGS DYING
WITH ROUNDWORMS

Quite a bit of complaint is being
made about pigs dying in this county
with thumps and shakings as if they
were cold In making post-mortcm
examination County Agent Kerr finds
that there are lot of round worms
I'm the pigs which are causing many
of these deaths. Some of the hogs are
probably dying of hog cholera, but in
cases where the older hogs are not
affected you may figure it is worms,
according to Mr. Kerr He says that
those who have sick hogs should begin
to get things cleaned up about the
place.
The history of this worm is as fol-
lows: The pig picks up the egg of the
worm from the ground in the lot or
pasture. This egg matches in the in
testines and after spending some time
there it passes through the blood to
the lungs 1t lives in the lungs for
a while and then it goes up to the
throat by way of the windpipe and then
travels back down the gullet to the
stomach and out into the small intes-
tines where is grows and develops to
the size of a pencil and about 10 inches
in length. If enough of these worms
collect in pigs intestines they cause
hem0rrhage, the outward appearance
being the "thumps and shivering."
Sometimes a congestion will set in in
the lungs and pneumonia win follow,
thus the hog may die before the worms
reach maturity in the intestines.
Mr.. Kerr says that the best thing
to do is to practise PREVENTION.
When the first pig dies cut it open and
make a thorough examination. If you
find worms then you had better get
busy and try to save the other pigs.
The following is suggested by the
county agent as good remedy for pigs
that have become infested with the
worms: withhold all feed and water
for "a hours, then give each pig from
to 2 ounces of castor oil to which
has been added oil of chenopodium
(Amcrican wormseed) as follows: 20
to 90 pound pigs, one half teaspoonful ;
80 to 100 pounds, 1 teaspoonful. Feed
and water and repeat treatment in
ten days"
The best thing to do is to keep your
pigs from becoming contaminated with
this pest. II you have had pigs to
die from worms you should put your
SOW in place which has not had your
previous hogs in it and take special
care to see that the pigs do not get the
eggs left there by the other hogs.
See your county agent and talk il
over with him and let him help you
solve your problems.

ReauisitiOn Refused

Paul Dollinger of Fredericltown,
Mo-, who was arrested last week in
that city by Sheriff w. II. Perrin, was
successful in his fight against extra
dition to Arkansas for trial.
The extradition papers, signed by
Gov. Terral were sent to Missouri and
Dollinger was given a hearing at JEFF
ferson City Saturday before Mr.. Kel-
sey, private secretary to Gov. Baker
of Missouri.
The State of Arkansas was repre-
scented by Hon. John l.. Carter, assist
ant to Attorney General Applegate.
Mr.. Perrin reports that, on two or
three occasions when Dollinger's at
torney attempted to make funny re-
marks about Arkansas, Mr.. Carter
promptly and very firmly brought
him to order. Our sheriff said that
Mr. Carter soon convinced the court
that the Arkansas of 1926 was not the
Arkansas of Opie Reads day and that
one insulted its citizens when one slur-
red the good name of our state.
According to evidence brought out in
the hearing, Dollinger had bought a
car load of cattle from John Il. Kizer
here several months ago. He gave Il
personal check on Missouri bank
for $5O1.35, in payment. After the
cattle had been shipped the check was
turned down at the Missouri bank.
Dollinger was indicted by the grand
jury here and his arrest and the hear
ing. on Saturday, followed.
Mr.. Kelsey considered the evidence
of intentional fraud against Dollinger
as insufficient, and refused to sign the
extraditiOn papers.

Chicago Produce Market
Chica go. July "a

Chicago, July 29.-(P),
Sensational reduction of official es-
Inmates of 1926 wheat yield in the Ca
madam prairie provinces brought about
a lively upturn of wheat values to-
day. Closing quotations on wheat
were strong at virtually the days top
figures, 24c to 33c net higher, with
corn &c to &c up, oats unchanged to &c
off, and provisions varying from Csc
decline to 10c gain.
The newest Canadian crop estimate
came from a leading Chicago expert
who had made an extensive tour of the
spring wheat belt, who says hot wealth
err and insufficiency of moisture have
the last month. His forecast is much
below any other recent figure and is
roundly 100,000,000 bushels less than
was harvested last year in the Cana
dian territory referred to- According
to this authority, the three largest
provinces will harvest this year not
to exceed 279,000,000 bushels, Mani
toba IS, 900, 900, Saskatchewan 1876, 000,-
600 and Alberta 100000.
An unexpected rise in wheat prices
at Liverpool contributed further
strength to the wheat market here. Be-
sides, the weather map failed to show
rains which had been reported in Can
ada and the forecast was for fair and
warm conditions there, undesirable at
present. Meanwhile, export business
today amounted to 100000 bushels and
the premium paid for wheat at the
Gulf of Mexico were relatively one
cent bushel higher. Vessel room was
chartered for 250,000 bushels to be
shipped from Chicago to Buffalo.
Favorable crop reports from Iowa
and Illinois together with high tenn
peratures and lack of rain in various
parts Of the corn belt gave frmness
to the corn market. Demand for oats
