Jazzng and swinging the old favorites, or for that
 matter deving into the classics of musical literature has been nduged in by band leaders for long time even as far back farther than when Whteman azzed "Song of India". There comes day when all band leaders at loss and nothing comes along that is swngy sngy enough to get the old feet tapping So the band leaders get out the Schubert albums the songs that die albums and the Bach and Beethoven albums, and they jazz and re-harmonize music that was music Sometimes the effect is pretty terrible; sometimes not bad. You can't forget can you that the main theme of "Yes, We Have No Bananas" was borrowed from of the worlds most famous choralS Chopns famous brief waltz known the Minute Waltz was worked into popular musical comedy song some years ago. and of course Strauss famous Blue Danube Waltzes have been served up in all forms. Now and then trained musicians object to the azzng of old music but try and stop the band leaders Tommy Dorsey is feeling pretty cocky these days because he has new word that describes the jazng of Scotch music.

TO TEST FOR BANGS
DISEASE In SUSSEX
CONTINUED from First Paqe1

[COnfinEed from First Pagel
cattle which react to the Bangs Dis
ease test a State indemnity, in ad-
dition to the Federal indemnity, tine
Federal Bureau of Animal Industry,
cooperating with the Delaware State
Board of Agriculture, has furnished
additional federal veterinarians to
Delaware, and IL Is hoped to test all
cattle in Sussex county before July
l, 1888. The neighboring counties in
Maryland are being tested, and are
rapidly being accredited, and the
State Board of Agriculture is anx-
ious to have Sussex county attain
the same status, of modified ac-
credited county. A great many indi-
vidual herds, located throughout the
county. are already tested, as the
public health officials have passed a
regulation that all raw milk sold
must come from cattle free from
Bangs Disease. The next few
months will provide an opportunity
for all cattle owners throughout the
county to receive the benefit of this
service, at no cost to the cattle
owners, and it is hoped that every
cattle owner in Sussex county will
take advantage of this service.
The value of testing cattle for
Bangs Disease and eliminating the
reactors is not limited to the eradi-
cation of disease both in the human
family and the cattle Cattle which
have been tested and proven free
from Bangs Disease are decidedly
more valuable to the owner from the
economic standpOlnt-freedom from
this disease raises both the produc- !
tion and the value of the animals.
As the veterinarians will cover the |
entire county, by roads, every far
mer will have the opportunity to /
have his cattle tested without having |
TO apply 10 the Office and without |
having to wait until his application /
could be reached. As this service is /
beneficial to the cattle owners from
every viewpoint. the State Board of
Agriculture urges every farmer to
cooperate with the veterinarians in
having his own cattle tested. in
spreading the good news to his
neighbors. and in cleaning up the
county while It is possible to have
the federal aid which is now avail
able.
