Lead Poisoning Occurs
in MANY Farm Animals

Lead poisoning occurs in animals
as well as in human beings. For
that reason it is important to pre-
vent your live stock from gaining
access to paint or other forms Of
lead. 1t often happens that live
stock, especially cattle, are attract
ed by paint and will lick empty
and discarded paint containers, and
even freshly painted objects. Old
paint cans, brushes and other OBJ
jects coated with paint should be
discarded in places to which live
stock do not have access. Animals
should be kept away from freshly
painted buildings. fences and bill
boards until the paint is thoroughly
dry. Even old paint is sometimes
dangerous.

RANGE HOGS HELP
SPREAD CHOLERA
Disease May Reach Animals
in Remote Corners

prepared by the United states Depart
ment of Agriculture )-WNU Service.
'All of the factors responsible
for the spread of hog cholera infec-
tion are not known, but the range
hog of the South is recognized as
dangerous in spreading this dis
ease" says DR.. T. T. White of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. On a recent trip OF in
spectiOn into Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
diana and Ohio, Doctor White, who
is assistant chief of the division of
hOg-chOlera control of the bureau
of animal industry, had opportu-
nifty to look into the cholera stu
alton.
In the South" says Doctor
White, the range hog is an impOr-
tant factor in the perpetuation of
hog cholera. Hogs roaming at
large, subSisting on acOrns and
other nuts, are just as susceptible
to hog cholera as those kept in
pastures and lots. When affected
with disease the restricted hogs
can be treated and if any of them
die from cholera or other infectious
diseases they can be burned or
buried, thus removing the danger
that infection may be carried away.
In the case of range hogs, how
ever, cholera may reach the herd
when the hogs are feeding in re-
mote areas and when the condition
is discovered, if at all, it is usually
too late TO treat the animals. In
fact, the first warning the owner re-
ceives, as rule, comes when he
finds several dead hogs scattered
here and there. Although, in some
of the states mentioned, typical
range conditions do not exist, the
fact that hogs often run at large
along public highways and on un-
fenced tracts indicates lack of con
troll over their movements, with re-
Sulting exposure to any cholera in
fection that may be present.
"Cholera-sick hogs dying in re-
mote or hidden place constitute
potential source of Infection" Doc
tor White declares. Susceptible
hogs may feed on these carcasses;
dogs may carry pieces of the in
fected meat to home herds; buz-
yards are still suspected as carri
ers of infection: and the disease
may spread in other ways.
"Immunization is the safeguard
against this danger, but, unfortu-
nately, range hogs are usually left
in a susceptible state, most owners
having neither the inclination nor
the means to have them immunized
against hog cholera"
Doctor White invites public at
tentiOn to this problem, the solu-
tion of which would mean more eff
fective control of the disease.

Cost of Horse

Horses cost SIG year to keep
in Ohio, according TO records kept
on 20 farms in Greene, Medina and
Putnam counties by economists Of
the Ohio State university. The
horses meals total % bushels of
corn. 81 bushels of oats, 4S pounds
of oilmeal and bran, 300 pounds
of hay and LOO pounds of corn
stover annually-a good sized truck
load, worth $72. Then in addition
to this fed cost, the farmer spends
about 90 hours a year taking care
of a horse, worth S22.50.

LIVE STOCK REMINDERS

Lambs should be weaned when
from four to four and half months
old.
Large horses are worth more
than small horses, both in value
a head and value per pound.
There were 100000 more lambs
consumed in 1880 than in 1929, and
a slightly better price is anticipated
for 1881.
When feeding timothy hay to
ewes add such concentrates as
wheat bran, and linseed oil cake
and a roughage, as corn silage, to
the ration.
Young pigs make more and cheap
er gains than old ones. Economic
pork production calls for starting
the young pig crop off with grain
ration at three to four weeks Of
age.
Beef is the most important prod
uct resulting from cattle slaughter.
For that reason it is reasonable to
expect a rather close correlation be-
tween the price of beef cattle and
wholesale dressed beef.
y
The market discriminates very
severely against male lambs that
have not been castrated and against
all lambs that have not been
docked. These operations are sim
pie and easy if performed while the
lambs are young.

Gaffney Administers
 Oath Of Office At
 City Hall To-day
Friends of Popular Judge Attend Ceremony and Felic tate Official as He Begins Another Two.Year Term in Probate Court

Judge Denis J. Slavin was sworn in as judge of probate for the Wa terbury district this morning, the oath being administered by Attorney John l.. Gaffney. who has officiated in this capacity a number of times.
 The ceremony was brief and took up but few moments time. Judge SIavin raised his right hand and the oath was repeated by Atty Gaffney. The latter knows the words perfectly and it was not necessary for him to read them from the paper.
 The term is for two years. the judge being elected at the last elec- crats and endorsed by the republi- ton after being chosen by the demo- cans. so that he had no opponent for the position. This is a splendid tribute to his popularity and his ability in managing the workings of the court.
 The oath taken by the judge fol- lows: You, Dennis J. Slavin. hav- ing been chosen judge of probate for the district of Waterbury for two years from the Wednesday af- ter the first Monday in January, A. D., 1881, do silemnly swear that you will support the constitution of the United States and the constitu- ton of the state of Connecticut. so long as you continue a citizen there- of. and that you will faithfully dis charge according to law, the duties of the office of the judge of probate, to the best of your ability: so help you God.

'L0NCW0RTH HAS THE RELIEF BILL
 IN HIS POCKET
Speaker of the House Will Keep It There in Order to Prevent Any Attempt to Back Up the Senate
By THOMAS l.. STOKES

Washington, Jan z. - UP)- Speaker Longworth of the house held the drought relief bill, figura- lively, in his pocket to-day to fore stall any action by those who, con- trary to administration wishes, seek to include in 1t a provision for food loans.
 Longworth plans to hold the bill. possibly for several days, and then permit it to come up in such a way that his forces may defeat the sen- ate proposal to add $15,000,000 for food loans. The measure now is on the speakers desk, having been placed there yesterday when demo- republican, N .Y., prevented it from
 being sent to conference.
 Democrats want to add to the
 original $45.O00.000 measure the $15,0OO,O00 for food loans. La
 Guardia insists that city dwellers also be included in the food loan provisions if any are adopted. While the measure is being bot tied up temporarily in the house. there continued to come from the senate threats of f1libuser unless the food loan provision is included. In- terspersed with this talk are fre- quent references to food demonstra- tions in Arkansas and reports of distress elsewhere.
 The administration, vigorously opposed to federal food loans as bad precedent" insists that the Red
 Cross is equipped to care for cases
 of human distress.
 Minority Leader Robinson of the
 senate is awaiting a reply from Gov Do al af Nl< asked to describe what local relief
 measures are being taken. Robinson
 desires the information as q guide
 for those here who are trying to
 aid the drought sufferers.
 Chairman Arthur Woods. of the presidents emergency committee for employment, was called before the
 senate appropriations committee to- day to tell what measures he has taken to relieve distress and to give a report on conditions. Chairman
 John Barton Payne of the Red Cross. who appeared yesterday. challenged
 reports of food demonstrations in Arkansas and said there was no such situation there as was described by Senator Caraway, democrat. Ark.
 T have a high regard for Payne. but I think he made himself ridicul- ous by his statements before the
 committee" Caraway said. He add
 ed that w. M. Baxter, in charge of
 the southwestern Red Cross div'-
 sion. had informed him the Red
 Cross would be feeding 250,O00 peo- ,, pie in Arkansas by February l.
 The drought relief bill has become
 during the past ten days the storm
 center of the whole controversy
 over federal relief measures. The
 house stopped the move for food
 loans in the original authorization
 bill, but the entire matter came to head again when the senate tackled
 the $15,000.000 provision on the
 house appropriation.
 Longworth and Republican Leader
 Tilson of the house said they intend to have the rules committee bring in a special rule for consideration or the bill. It cannot be taken from
 the table now without special rule.

Incredible airplane speeds. en- abling man to encircle the globe in five hours, are predicted for a dozen years hence by Fritz von Opel, fa- nous German experimenter and the first man in the world to ride a rocket plane.

LIBERIA IS TOLD
 TO DISCONTINUE
 SLAVERY PLANS
Sharp Note Sent to African Republic That She May Lose Friendship of the United States

Washington, Jan 7-(UP)-A cri- tical, outspoken document. warning against the continued practice of slavery and forced labor in the small African republica of Liberia. has been transmitted to that country by the state department, the United Press learned to-day.
 Informing the Liberian govern ment that 1t will lose the friend ship of the United States unless these abuses are corrected. the de partment memorandum charged:
 1. That Liberian officials arc conniving at the Slave trade in pri. vate while publicly condemning it.
 2. That high Liberian officials themselves use forced labor.
 3. That despite promises to in, augurate reform, no measures tC stop slavery have been adopted by the' Liberian government.
 4. That Liberian officials ham, pered the investigation of the com mission sent there to inquire into slavery.
 The memorandum, transmitted to the Liberian congress on December 3, was based on information fur nished by an international commis- sion which reported to the League of Nations and the state department about two months ago after an ex- tended investigator in Liberia.
 Since transmission of the message both President King and Vice-pres- ident Yancey of Liberia have re. signed. The document described the commission's report as a shocking indictment" showing slavery was supported by numerous officials, in. cluding Yancey.
 American interest in Liberia is partly economic and partly based on the large American negro popu. lation there.

SHAWN SWORN IN AS JUDGE OF PROBATE
MRS ARMOUR IS ONCE MORE AMONG
 MILIONAIRES
Despised Stock Held By Her When Husband Died Inc solvent, Was Sold for Over $8,OOO,OOO

Chicago. Jan 7-(UP)-The sale for more than $22,000.0o0 of an oil cracking" patent which long has been regarded as worthless to-day restored Mrs Lotta Sheldon Armour to the commanding position in American finance once held by her husband. the late J. Ogden Armour.
 The news that Mrs Armour and a number of other persons suddenly had acquired unexpected millions suddenly became known last night when the Shell Union oil corpora tion and the Standard oil company of California announced purchasing the Universal oil Products company for $22,249.999. Mrs Armour owned Products, and will receive $8,216,- 058.
 Included in the sale was the Dubbs Cracking" process of produc- ing gasoline. It was the patent for this process that the purchasing companies wanted chiefly, 1t was said.
 P. C. Dubbs of Chicago, who in. vented the cracking" process which Armour backed for several years without success. will receive $3.582,- 045 of the money derived from the sale. 1t was said.
 During the World war, J. ogden Armour obtained large government contracts for delivery of meat to Europe. He then was reputed to be worth $150,000,000. The end of the war found his company caught with millions of dollars worth of high priced meats on it's hands and no markets for them. It was said that Armour's personal fortune shrank at the rate of nearly $1.000.000 a day for months after the armistice When his estate was closed in pro- bate court a year ago. an insolvency of s1,805.000 was shown.
 In 1926. Mrs Armour lent her husband $1.000.000 which, 1t was said. he needed to fulfill an obliga-

HOOVER AND THE SENATE WIDEN
 THEIR BREACH
Bitterness Is Almost Simi- lar to That in Which President Wilson Was Fought So StrenuOusly
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Stan COrrespOnde

Washington, Jan 7-U. P.) Ill feeling between the White House and sneate was developing to-day at a rate unequaled since the postwar bitterness which finally led the sen- ate to repudiate President Wilson on the Versailles treaty and League of Nations. A complementary dis Dute leaves the senate and the house.
 This situation may lead to an extra session of congress after March 4. It seems destined to leave its impress on all legislation this session. And there is a prospect it may find con- crete expression to-day in a vote of no confidence in MT Hoover's pow CT commission appointees.
 This third day of debate on the motion of Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, to reconsider confirmation # Chairman George Otis Smith, Marcel Garsaud and Claude L. Drap- CT of the commission is expected to determine the issue. Republican leaders are not overly confident they can prevent a majority supporting Walsh.
 Meanwhile, no action was likely to-day in the drought relief contro- Versy between the president and house on one side and the senate on the other. The bill is being held up temporarily in the house, but will be sent to conference soon in an effort to end the threatened impasse over the $15,O0O,00O food loans provision.
 Another hearing was scheduled to- day by the Nye campaign funds com- mittee, which plans to question Jo- seph R. Mutt, republican national committee treasurer, concerning the $50,000 special fund maintained here during the 1880 congressional mittee's executive director. was ques- tioned further yesterday about his use of money, secured by this fund. in a secret campaign against Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska.
 Assistant Majority Leader Me- Nary of the senate told the United Press to-day the vote on the Walsh motion would be "very close". Other republican leaders went so far as to predict the administration would be subjected to the rebuff contemplated by the democratic-insurgen group.
 Chairman CouZens, before whose interstate commerce committee all commissioners appeared before con- firmation, was confident, however, the men would not be busted.
 Senate insurgents are confident the votes will be adverse to all three com missioners.
 The extra session question also is becoming vital factor, with the president strenuously opposed to any session after March 4 One third of the present session has elapsed with out enactment of a single routine ap- propriation bill. Under these condi- tions. Chairman Golf is summoning the senate republican steering com- raittee to-day to devise compromise slate, if such be possible.
