ANTHRAX CASES UNDER CHECK
But Not Until Colder Weather Will
The Disease Be Prevented il Spreading

the disease De ITtNeIlLtu ~ lCpTtdulltS
Not until cold weather places 4
check Oh anthrax Will tile disease in
the Leipsic-Dov area be
prevented from spreading. Nearly
every day new eases of the disease
are reported to Ralph Wilson, secre-
tary VI the State Board Of Agricul-
ture. According to Mr. Wilson, the
area acected by anthrax range from
kits Hammock below Dover, to Ieip-
liz and above Smyrna. Sales of ike
stock that have been conducted once a
week at Dover have been withdrawn
until after the epidemic abates. This
IL done voluntarily by the broker, in
an effort to aid the State in eliminat-
ing anthrax. The State Board Of Ag-
riculture provides serum free Of
charge for inoculating against an
thrax. Some farmers have suffered
severe losses in livestock from the
ravages Of the disease. Usually the
spring is the best time to inoculate
and not after the disease has appear
ed, according to officials. Often times
herd Of cattle will die from anthrax
incidating that it is present in the
herd. Then although the remainder
Of the herd is inoculated, sometimes
the animals are 50 debilitated having
the disease germ possibly in them,
that they fail to react to the inocula-
ton and sometimes die. It is a gen
eral belief that the extraordinary
number of flies and mosquitoes this
year has been largely responsible for
the transmission of anthrax

follows:
Irresponsible representatives Of all

all others whose daily activities brins

to realize that they and those who pay
for construction work are being sorely
penalized by existing practices.

FINANCIAL
NEWS
|ST0CK MARKET
ACTION GREAT
TOday's Session One of Strong
est Since Beginning of UI
Movement

New York, Oct. 13.-R-Today's
brief session Of the stock market
was one of the strongest and most
active since the beginning Of the
prolonged up movement.
Prices Of a wide variety of stocks
forged relentlessly upward, with the
advance most impressive among the
"blue chip" issues, those selling be-
tween 5000 and $500 per share. A
foretaste Of what was to occur was
given at the opening, when large
blocks of the more active stocks
changed hands at prices several
points above the previous close.
Montgomery Ward and U. S. Steel
shared the limelight, the former
soaring Is points to 1885, and the
latter changing hands in enormous
transactions above 165, both prices
invading new high territory. Beth
lehem Steel also reached new high
ground above II, buying of these is
sues being on reports of a pending
stock split-up in United States Steel
and resumption Of dividends by
Bethlehem.
Motor Products moved up more
than 8 points to POI Y, International
Harvester 8K points to 800, Sears
Roebuck points to 1904, and Good
year Tire 6ss points to 98M.
Case Threshing Machine and Coty
rose about 5 points each, and Amer
lean Linseed nearly points. Nu-
merous issues advanced 3 to 4
points without difficulty, Interna-
tional Nickel and Grasselli Chemical
being among those which established
new highs for the year or longer.
Reflection of the current invcsti-
cation of recent transactions in
Dodge Brothers was seen in the
weakness of that issue. Periods of
heaviness also were felt by Chrysler
and Hudson. General Motors, how
ever, made good gain.
Rails also shared the markets ac-
tivity, with Rock Island-up 4 points
to 129, nearly the all-time hirh-the
feature Of the group.
Total sales Appropriated 1000. 900
shares. The ticker was hard pressed
to keep abreast of the market. and
at the close was about Is minutes
behind.

Good Faith and Taxpayers AS
sOciatiOns Both Planning
Action

Two campaigns of education have
been launched in the state with re-
gard to the proposal to issue $685.
100000 in state bonds to pay the
depositors of closed banks, which
will be submitted to the voters at
the election November 6.
One campaign by the North Da-
kota Good Faith Association is urg-
ing voters to support the proposal.
Their major propaganda and argu-
ments are contained in a six-column
sheet, prepared in newspaper style,
which is being distributed by mail.
In it they urge support of the issue
ON the ground that it is a moral
obligation of the state and that bust
ness and land values will be bene-
fitted by the payment of depositors
in closed banks. Several columns
are devoted to attacks on several of
the leading newspapers of the state
which have taken a stand, in their
editorials, against the bond issue.
The major arguments against the
bond issue are being circulated by
the State Taxpayers association of
which Dan r. Jones of Wahpeton is
secretary. The arguments being
pressed against the measure are that
it would increase the tax rate on all
North Dakota property and would,
in effect, be mortgage on the state
to pay for losses for which the state
and it's taxpayers are not respon-
sible; that much of the money would
so to persons living outside the state
who had money on deposit in North
Dakota banks because of higher in
terest rates than they could get at
home, and that the law makes no
provision for paying the losses in
Cured by depositors who lost money
in closed national banks.
Transfer Obligation
The further claim is made that
the proposed law, if it becomes eff
fective, will merely mean the trans
fer of heavy obligation from the
state banks Of North Dakota to the
general taxpayers. Under the oper-
alton of the state guaranty fund act
all state banks pay an annual as
sessment to the state guaranty fund.
AuS taxpayers dSSOClaClOn likes
these payments by the banks at
$4,000 year and alleges that in
its place the proposed bond issue
would substitute charge of $780,
600 a year against the state itself.
Another charge of those opposed
to the bond issue is that most Of the
money would go to a relatively few
persons, firms and corporations
whereas everyone in the state would
have to help pay the bonds. Figures
complied by the taxpayers associ-
alton are advanced to show that the
total of claims against closed banks
is about $36,000,OOG but that most
of the depositors lost only small
amounts by such closings and that
S25 100000 Of the deposits are held
by only SO per cent of the depositors.
leaving the other SO per cent Of the
depositors with an interest of only
$1,O0C,OOO.
A separate ballot will contain the
proposal as it will be presented to
the voters and the vote on the uues-
ton is expected to be heavy.

Finally, there are many move

have been driven to such extremes
as to become public follies. The
reaction to them has often been
equally disastrous. Every move
ment has an element of success in it
or it would gain little Roadway. BY
keeping the child's welfare clearly

Illinois Favors Hoover
Illinois is being placed in the
Hoover column safely by political
leaders who seem to know what they
are talking about. Some predict
Illinois for Hoover by 100000, but
that seems rather heavy, but the
Illinois Hoover boosters are very
optimistic.
Smiths rough and ready style of
campaigning has made some i'm
preston throughout the Northwest
and Illinois is no exception. The
"brown derby" is not in any sense
a high hat" There is always a
number of voters in the large
cities who feel that they are not
getting from the government what
those in more favored walks of life
do. AL Smith to them typifies what
a "free lunch" used to on a cold,
rainy day in lower Clark street
where the "suds" parlors dispensed
cheer for even less than "two- bits. !"
"Whooping It Up"
There is a deal of "whooping it
up" for "Al" because they feel he is
nearer to the masses than Herbert
Hoover. But such vote probably
is not strong enough to swing an
election. The Illinois Republican
organization is strong and is back
of Hoover unanimously and that is
what really counts.
Campaign headquarters in Chicago
are receiving urgent calls for great
er resistance to the Democrats in
North Dakota, Minnesota and Wis
consin. The wet vote plus the vote
OF discontinued agriculturists NAV
menace the normal Republican ma
jorities of those states.
Senator Frazier Warns
Senator Lynn j. Frazier has
called attention of the national Re-
publican committee to the situation
in his own state and there is great
interest expressed over what this
trio of Northwestern states is going
to do next November.
In the solid south, over which the
writer travelled pretty generally. the
Democrats are fighting, every inch
OF the way, any inroads the Repub-
lican party is making or any. drive
conducted by Democrats who for
personal or religious reasons won't
support AL Smith. Republicans feel
that q sitter campaign should be
waged against Democratic activity
north Of the Mason and Dixon line.
Few presidential campaigns have
presented so many doubtful states.
New York, New Jersey. Wisconsin.
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
are worrying the Republican leaders.
10 offset this condition. North Car
DINA, Tennessee, Florida, Texas and
Oklahoma are keeping some Of the
loyal Democrats awake at night.
But unless all signs fail Illinois
will go for Hoover with the normal
Republican strength. The same can
be said Of Iowa. There does not
seem to be any revolt in the corn
belt out Iowa way.
