Cenqnsring Hog Cholera

LOG cholera, the bane of all hog raiseEs and
a disease which sometimes sweeps out
many of the animals. is facing constantly
more potent foe in a serum which - reaching
q high point Of success. =.
Through research work, carried on by the
Federal Government, the serum has been im-
proved to a point where four bottles wiz now
do the work of five short time age.
Among the important Developments Of res
cent years are the Qualification of serum, cons
centration Of the serum into smaller volume,
and more recently, an improved method Of
pasteurization I'M which all containers are com-
pleteIy submerged in a water bath and the
serum is agitated while being heated.
A description of present methods of serum
production as conducted under Federal licenses.

stated, removes the blood cells, which have no
protective value, and leaves clear liquid
which, when preserved and tested, becomes tho
product used in immunizing hogs against
cholera. The veterinarian finds 1t Is easier to
handle the concentrated. clear product and
that the clear serum is less likely TO clog
the syringe.
'"The most important advantage Of the clear
serum Is that pasteurization destroys any
reproducing bacteria" Dr. Skidmore de-
clared. AT the same time this pasteurizing
success, by destroying other bacteria. improves
the keeping quality. Pasteuization also enables
the manufacturer TO prepare an adequate re~
serve supply Of serum without fear that hia
supply may be Of questionable purity because
of outbreaks Of livestock diseases In the ters

RUT the Army don't want you to have any

ruin him. Up to then he had been Substitute

come back from that vacation why he went
plum loco. There Just wasent any controlling
him. He would no more than get his fists on
a Foot Ball than he would light out and run
plum on with it. Every time they would hand
him the ball he would start for Louisiana 10
show it to his wife,
The Army hadent seen any such foolishness
ms this. It was against all Army Regulations.
They do everything by orders. You breathe by
manual, you sleep by tactics and eat by regu-
lations. Well they knew there was something
the matter with this fellow because he was 50
different from other inmates. Instead Of maxi
ing just gain, he would make touchdown.
Then they commenced advertising him. They
said there is Guy that win get us some money
at the gate. He was Red headed; that made
him pick up where Red Grange left OF. So the
first thing we knew he was better known than
the whole General STAN. The Army had q War
College but nobody knew where it was. But
every ten year old child could tell you where
Red eagle was playing every Saturday. why
when the Army played Notre Dame In New
York as many people come to see Red. as did
to see Notre Dame play foot ball.
The Army had q drawing card. Nobody knew
who the Secretary Of War was but immigrants
could tell you what Red did against Harvard.
You could have left 1t to q vote Of the entire
u. g., who they wanted TO see carry the bal.
Cagle or Coolidge, and Red would have won.
The Navy quit playing the Army until Red was
outlawed by the statute Of limitations. They
said, 1--WE will play the Army but we wont play
eagle" It looked HIKE for awhile it would be
Civil war between the two branches Of our
service. They was going to quit playing foot
bali and 60 to fighting. It looked bad. Con-
gressmen and Senators were losing their tickets
they were cadging for the game.
Even the President says Boys win you please
play. But the Navy says mo, not while that
fellow is going against all the formulas Of
Military and Naval tactics"

y" we did have some outside devil
~ ment to take our minds OH the

ing instance was the secret service discovering
the fact years after 1t had happened that our
Great Foot Ball player, Red (Christian) eagle,
had grabbed wife under his arm and streaked
through the whole Army regulations for .
Justice Of the Peace. This event took place
years ago, in fact, the year that Dewey entered
Manila, but the Army has been all this time
finding it out. In fact, they dident want to
ind 1t out till after the foot ball season was
over. Because with Red off their foot ball
team, they would have looked about like Har-
ward, or Yale, or Princeton, or some Of those
other second division teams. Notre Dame would
have sent in Saint Mary's against 'em.
Seems that Red was down home on q vaca-
ton one time, and he rum onto mighty pretty
girl. He had his cape thrown back SO the red
lining showed, and 10 this Southern bell It
looked like General Lee. Red figured out there
wasent much else to do on a vacation, so he

HUGE MAT ACES
ON PROGRAM

"They seem to like the big
fellows, so they'll get what
they want. II they ever want
middleweights, I'll give them
middlewcights, but right now
it's the big fellows they like
and I'm giving them the best
there are"
This is the way Promoter Joe
Turner summarizes his schedule
making for his weekly wrestling
shows at the Auditorium. To-
morrow night Joe has lined UP
eight of the big boys, and each
of them Is a man of high class
caliber, among them being such
well-known local favoriteS as
Billy Barthos, Milo Steinborn,
Hans Steinke and DOC" Wilson.
Steinborn was fast growing into
one of the sensations of the mat
game until his defeat by Dick
Shikat two weeks ago. On that
occasion Milo, who holds Is
worlds records for weight lift
ing, was periIouSly close to pin
ming Shikat two or three dif.
ferent times.
Now he is determined to work
his way back up the long trail
to the top again by meeting all
and sundry foes to gain another
crack at Shikat. Tomorrow night
he faces in Joe Petroff. a 215
p0under, one of the best Of the
New England products. so his
start up the ladder won't be the
easiest thing in the world.
The speedy BarthOs will
have q worthy foe tomorrow
night, too, for in "DOc" VIII
SON he is facing one Of the
fastest boys in the game to-
day. Wilson is an Indiana
University product who was
q sensation In Mid-Western
college circles. After turning
pro he came to the front
rapidly and will test the
former masked marvel to the
limit.
The huge and ponderous Hans
Steinke will have no bargain on
his hands when he mixes with
Tiny Roebuck. The latter is the
former Haskell Indian football
star. He is a young giant, stand
ing well over six feet and tipping
the beam at 24O pounds. To top
this off he is a finished mailman.
In the other bout George Calza,
popular Italian star, squares off
against John Demetro, a 22O-
pound Greek.

familiar baseball league to
all kids in town, has used it
time after time to stage an
important game, . champion
ship game, even, in years
gone by.
The kids won't be the only
persons feeling the loss Of the
Plaza. The elders will feel it also
as they, too, have been just as
much of a part Of the grounds.
All in all, everyone will MISS it
and miss 1t like missing a lost
friend.
The passing of the Plaza will
be only a part of the construction
plan of Uncle Sam. Another "a
miliar site, and one affecting the
elders will be taken away in the
Union Station baseball diamond,
the site Of Terminal League
games, and the three-year site
Of the city weekday baseball
series for the championship of
the weekday leagues.
"A. II. HlgnGman, preSlQenG OF the
Terminal Baseball League, and
chairman Of the championship
series this year, announced last
night that the Terminal diamond
would be taken away in the same
construction program.
This Is another blow to
those connected with sports,
especially the older boys who
have enjoyed the Terminal
baseball diamond the same
as the kids have enjoyed the
Plaza.
The passing Of the Terminal
baseball diamond. or the Union
Station diamond, as 1t is better
known, will mean the change of
site for the weekday champion
ships next year. This in itself
offers a new problem for those
connected behind that movement.
But the Plaza will be the great
est loss. Ask any Of the kids In
the city and they will tell you.
