Son Attended College
Young barrow was attending the

Paul barrow, the newspaper said,

TUBERCULOSIS
IN POULTRY is
QUITE COMMON
DIR. Crewe, State Veterinari-
an, Working on Plans to
Eliminate Disease

Plans for a campaign to eliminate
avian tuberculosis from North Da-
kota poultry flocks arc being con-
sidcrcd by DR.. w. +. Crcwe, state
veterinarian. The work would be
carried on in connection with the
tuberculin testing Of cattle which
has been under way for several years.
Inspectors for his department have
been making preliminary surveys of
poultry flocks to determine by elm
ical examination how many are in
fected, Crewe said, and reports in
dictate that the condition is wide
spread
Housewives Interested
Commenting on his work of tubcr-
culosis eradication, Crewe said: 1--WE
find that, as a rule, the housewives
are most interested in the poultry
and desire assistance in freeing their
flocks of the disease. We expect to
detail some Of our inspectors on this
work when the other work slackens
up but without experience it is diff
ficult to determine the most cconom-
ical and satisfactory procedure to
follow.
In one instance through local
community club the township was
organized and a veterinarian was en-
gagged to test all the poultry The
cost was about four cents per bird.
Forty eight flocks of chickens
comprising 1904 birds, were tested,
24O rcacting. Forty turkeys were
tested with one rcactor. Fourteen
flocks, containing 7l3 birds. were
found free Of rcactors.
Is Important
I'm view of the growing import
ance Of the poultry industry the sup
preston of avian tuberculosis is q
matter Of Importance in connection
with the incomes Of North Dakota
farmers. Turkeys are as susceptible
as other fowls and spread Of tho
disease would be severe financial
blow to many persons"
Commenting on ways in which
fowls may ordinarily be judged ia
have tuberculosis, Crcwe said the
lightweight, scrawny bird is mos,
open to suspicion. If the fowl is dead
and examination Of its liver dis.
closes ycllowish pcarly spots it is .
sure sign Of infection, he said.

PICTURE ACTOR
IS CRUSHED IN
AUTO SMASHUP
Einar Hanson, Feature Play
er, Dies Today in Santa
Monica Hospital

Santa Monica, Calf, June 3---L@9--
Einar Hanson, featured player Of
Parainount-Famous Players Lasky
films. was found fatally crushed un-
der his wrecked automobile on the
coast road north of here early to-
day and died later in a Santa Monica
hospital without rcgaining conscious
ness.
One wound in his leg, at first
believed by police and physicians to
have been caused by a bullet, later
was said to be too shallow to have
been the result of shot. Surgeons
who conducted a hurried postmortem
examination declared that there was
no lead in the wound.
The fatal mishap, as reconstructed
by police investigators, is believed
to have occurred when the young
Swedish actor, driving his automo-
bile at high speed, swung around a
sharp turn at melville, three miles
north Of here, struck layer Of sand
bordering the road and overturned.

Goats Play Games
By Coolidge Lodge

Rapid City, 8. D., June 3-L%9-
From the vcranda Of his vacation
home, President Coolidge can watch
mountain goats play tag on summer
evenings.
The broad stone porch of the state
game lodge in the Black Hills, where
the president and his family will
spend the summer. looks out across
green lawns to a rocky bluff some
500 yards away which forms the
eastern wall Of Squaw creek canyon,
in which the lodge is located.
Along the jutting rocks of the
bluff the mountain goats disport on
every pleasant evening. Three or
four of them stand at the top, and
suddenly one hunts another off the
edge. The hunted goat grabs adeptly
at the side Of the cliff, gets footing,
and climbs back up to the top to
play = similar prank on another Of
his fellows.
They never grow tired Of the sport
nor do the spectators.
