State Getting Bangs
Disease Under Control

/ A total of 541 herds of cattle in
the State of Delaware have been
tested for Bangs disease during the
13 months ending August !, 1885, ac-
cOrding to Dean c. A. McCue of the
University OF Delaware.
The Bangs disease eradication
program is now under way in all
States exceDt California and WyOm-
ing, where plans are being made for
early participation in this testing
work.
The number of cattle contained in
the herds which have been tested for
Rang's disease in Delaware total 1O,-
769 head. OF the Sal herds tested,
25O herds were found to be infected
with Bangs disease. These infected
herds contained 5S49 cattle of which
1889 were reactors to the test. OF the
total number of cattle in herds found
to be infected with Bangs disease,
1S.48 per cent were reactors. Only
10.11 per cent of all cattle tested in
this State for Bangs disease reacted
to the test.
Eradication of Bangs disease is
being carried out on a Nationwide
scale on a cooperative basis between
the states and the Federal Govern
ment. The work is conducted by the
bureau of Animal Industry of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, under rules and regulations
prescribed by the Secretary of Agri-
culture. Funds for this program
we're made available to the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration by
the LaFollette amendment to the
Jones-C -Connally Act. The Nationwide
testing program started in July 1884. !
Indemnities are paid to owners of |
cattle which show a positive reaction |
to the Bangs disease test. Additional 4
funds for the continuance of the test !
ing work we're made available by the |
first session of the Seventy-fOurtl I
Congress which just closed.

PRl0s.P.ERITf R9 EATIYnI,

A. campaign to end the world de-
preston by persuading people to cal
more food, has been suggested to the
League Of Nations.
Can our depression be ended by in
ducing the people to eat more? The
doctors might have something to say
about this. They often complain
that the human stomach is forced
to work overtime. Some may think
it needs a kind of NRA to enforce a
80 hour week on its digestive labors.
But anyway, the kid element. who
are always hungry, will not prob
ably object to the idea of eating more
food.
Unemployment reduces food CON
sumption. Some folks, with a pride
that is superb but hardly practical,
live on half rations rather than ask
help. Many others use up every
remnant now, who in good times
would feel the pigs are entitled to
handsome leavings.
The soup has a tendency to grow
pale and thin in hard times. Spiced
up artistically. 1t has a nice appetiz-
ing flavor. But a concoction that is
so largely water won't support much
labor.
Irregular operation of factories is
he curse of our times. 1t creates a
yiciOus circle. When a shop runs
lalf time, its workers can't buy a
ull quota of farm products. When
he farmer can sell only part of his |
Wheat and bacon, he can't buy the I
ull product of the factory.
1t is not probable that the rem
ants of depression can be ended by
ny appeal to the people to eat more
Ood. They always eat all they feel
hey can afford. and then some. The
Olution is to encourage industry, so
he workers will buy food. in a nor
lal way. Then the farmer will not
ave to be paid to cut down his pro-
uctiOn. When he can sell all his
tuff, the depression will be over.

FOR A NUMBER of months tn
stock market has been rising. Tn
average level of industrial stock
has advanced about 80 per cent oveI
the average of one year ago. Rail
road stocks have not done so well
the average being only about 10 pei
cent higher than year ago. The
many troubles of the railroads have
kept their stocks down. But the in
dustrial stocks give fairly accurate
picture of the condition of business
as a whole.
When times are rushing and busi-
ness is good. stocks reach a high
level, usually too high When times
are bad, stocks go down. usually
below their real values.
The New Dealers" say that the
recent market rise proves that their
policies of Federal regulation are
producing good results. The anti
New Dealers say that the rise and
recovery would have gone much far
ther, had not the government stified
business with its interference.
One factor in the situation is the
low rate of interest on investments
which is the general rule now. The
thrifty saver who has set aside his
money prudently, usually has to be
content with small return now
And many bonds once considered
high grade seem more doubtful now.
Such conditions lead many to buy
stocks, thus raising the price of these
securities.
But as a whole the advancing
stock market proves that business
has improved. in which we can all
take heart. Such an advance is
good sign, if it does not go too far.
Rising quotations promote courage.
A stock market that rises too fast
invites crash. Never since the
days when Humpty Dumpty fell off
a great wall. and got so badly maui
ed that all the Kings horses and all
the Kings men could not put them
together again, was there such a
downfall as that of 1929. Let us be-
ware that we do not have another
like unto it.

RECENTLY THE Supreme Court
! Of the State of Washington rendered
| an epochal decision.
Washington and Oregan passed q
law year or two ago whereby the
state utility regulatory commissions
were empowered to assess against
utility companies the costs OF in
vestigations for rate-making pur-
poses. Other states have considered
following these examples.
Now the Supreme Court has de-
cided, in a biting decision, that the
act is unconstitutional. The decis-
ion pointed out that the act made
IL possible for regulatory authori-
ties to initiate and conduct one i'm
Vestigation after another against a
utility company until a particular
utility is destroyed" And the JUS
tices added, I'VE see no reasonable
protection from persecution"
This decision is important because
it is in the interest of justice, of the
American spirit of fair play. Rate
making investigations initiated by
the state, are primarily designed to
benefit consumers. They are a pure
ly public functiOn-and they should |
be paid for in the manner of public /
by all the people. There (
is no justification for an act which

EACH SEASON OF THE YEAR
has its typical tool. In spring you
put your foot on the spade, and
loosen up the knotty earth so your
plants can grow. In summer you
WELD the hoe, and your forceful
strokes cut down the impudent
weeds. and tell them not to stifie
your growing garden
In the fall the rake is the typical
weapon of household war against
disorder. YOU should rake up the
leaves that KEEP making your lawn
look like a last years birds nest.
AS your boys tousled hair looks
much better after being combed,
your lawn also looks much filter for
the society of the neighborhood after
being eombed with your rake. The
dead spears of grass which dropped
to the ground whenever you moved
the lawn. tend to stifie the new
shoots. Rake them out, and your
lawn will again get its sleek head of
hair.

WHY YOUTH LEAVES HOME

Why do girls leave hOme?" is a
question often asked. There is rea-
son to ask still Oftener. why do
boys leave home?"
One answer given quite frequently
is that these young people believed
their parents were having too hard
time in providing support for their
families. So the youngsters con-
ceived the idea. that if they could
go off and find work. or visit some
relative who possibly could help
them, they could make things easier
in their homes.
But the result in most cases is pre-
cisely the opposite. The burden of
anxiety is added to the load carried
by the home folks. who won't sleep
much nights if they don't know
where their wandering girl or boy
has gone. 1t is a dreadful thought,
that a child of yours is a wanderer,
that he may be sleeping out under
some haystack, or cOnsorting with
rough characters on the road, or is
perhaps locked up in some Jail.
The dreams of youth are not tenn
pered by the cold light of experience.
Ii the wandering youth reaches his
destination. he usually finds the jobs
all taken. The sons and daughters
of the home folks are the ones who
get the chances, if there are any.
The poor wanderer. who drifts in
from outside, stands practically no
chance. 1t is argued that if he is so
unstable in character that he has
resorted to wandering. he is not like /.
" to be desirable employe at any
thing.
The children who run away to /
visit relatives should have thought /
IF consulting these people first. In
most cases the relatives would tell
hem to stay right at home where
hey belong. Such youngsters only
make trouble for their families. The

he could not do otherwise than go
through with it" if he is to con-

Not only is. Mr.. Laird permitted
to select as many counsel as he sees
fit, but he may go outside the
bounds of Presbytery to do so, He is
at liberty to retain professional
lawyer Of another denomination if
he pleases. Several prominent attOr-
neys are members of his church in

The special Judicial commission
will meet, probably in the near fu-
| ture, upon call Of the Moderator of
Presbytery. At the first meeting the
commission will elect its own mod
orator, or presiding officer and a
clerk, who will act as its secretary.
The body of evidence in substantia-
tion of the charges against Mr..
Laird presented to Presbytery in ex-
ecutive session Tuesday in a major
ity report of a special committee,
will be turned over now to special
judicial commission.
Appeal Seen Assured
Whatever the outcome of the trial,
it is anticipated that appeal will be
taken by the loser to the Synod OF
Baltimore in which the Presbytery
of New Castle is a subdivision; and
thence to the General Assembly,
highest tribunal of the denomination. (
AS the Synod does not meet until /
after General Assembly which meets .
in May 1886, final settlement cannot
be before May 1887, providing the
appeals are taken.
Two other charges against Mr.
Laird consist of alleged violation OF
church government and discipline;
and disturbing the peace and purity
of the church. Refusal to sever con-
nection with the Independent Board
of Foreign Missions was followed by
acts sustaining the two additional
charges above, il is alleged.
In its larger aspects the charges
against Mr.. Laird and others, Fun
assert, will ultimately
mean the breaking uD of the Pres
byterian Church. They contend that
thousands of laymen as well as min
isters will not stifie conscience to
bow to ecclesiastical authority,
which they believe to have been ex-
alcised in violation of the cOnstitu-
ion of the church.
