two years later it was operating in

The new name should carry the
popular approval of the entire mem
bership, Mr.. Zbasnik said. Our rank
and file are 100 per cent American,
though all of them were not born here,
and the new name expresses their
spirit. There is no doubt that under
the new name the society's prospects
for the future are excellent and that
under the new banner it will be in a
position to continue its successful
career and grow into a stronger and
even better organization.

APRA, Guam. Nov. 4. (UP)--A ty-

of Guam for 90 hours headed north
for Shanghai To-Day, leaving in its
wake the wreckage of thousands Of
native dwellings. washed out crops
and bridges and extensive damage
to U. S. Navy and Pan American

loss of life.
Capt. G. j. Mcmillan, U.S.N., gov
ernor of this Far East base, cabled
the American Red Cross in Wash
ington for S50,G00 to relieve distress
among the civil population, num-
bering some $4,000 Chamorros.
The storm broke early Sunday
morning when the barometer fell
to 1922 inches, and for nearly 20
hours the wind velocity ranged be-
tween 100 and l25 miles per hour
while torrential rains fell.
Because the population Of the 80
mile long island had been forwarn-
ed and assembled in substantial
buildings before the storm struck,
fatalities were escaped. Capt. Nc
MILAN informed the United Press.
There were large personal losses
by the population, however Capt.
Mcmillan said. Native nipa houses
were flattened. Crops were beaten
down and washed out by the rains.
Bridges were destroyed and COM
munications and electric power
facilities were badly damaged. Naval
radio communications were unin-
terrupted, however, and the few
ships in harbor escaped being driv-

Fletcher Next Congressman, Betting
Men Declare; Observers Predict
Lead viii Be Bigger Than Primary

Fletcher is the next congressman,
and even money that he will win
by 1880 votes. His lead over Izac
in the primary was slightly less
than 10000.
Fletcher has based his campaign
on straight Americanism issues,
stressing particularly the vital need
for this nation, in the present emer-
gency, to eradicate all subversive
elements. He has driven home to
voters in Imperial and San Diego
counties the fact that Izac voted
against the Dies Committee on un-
American activities, against the
Hatch clean politics bill and
against the deportation of Harry
Bridges. At the same time he de-
clared that if he had been con-
gresham, he would have voted for
all three measures.

HUNTERS TOLD TO BE WARY OF
"RABBIT FEVER" MENACE

Although medical science has
proved that tularemia is widely
| prevalent the year around and can
be contracted in many ways other
than handling game, physicians re-
port show that the number of cases
| in Ohio is rapidly multiplied during
the months when hunters roam the
| fields.
The statement from the Ohio ply
sicians, group admOnished: Con
slider all wild animals as possible
source of infection. Wear rubber
gloves while cleaning your game,
and be sure that the rubber is not
cut or punctured by knife or bone
silver. Wash blood stains from
your hands with plenty of soap and
water as soon as you can, and fol-
low the washing with disinfection
if possible"
| The committees statement advis-
ed that Thorough cooking will rem
der infected meat harmless, but the
tularemia germ will remain alive
and active in the red juices of part
| ly cooked meat" Records OF the
state department of health show
that during 1899 Ohio physicians
reported 1O9 cases of tularemia and
lis deaths attributed to the disease.
Most tularemia is contracted
through the handling of rabbits, ac-
cording to the statement of the ply
sicians' committee, but the records
show hat cases have also followed
the handling of squirrels, opposums,
deer, fox, grounding, muskrat.
quail, sage hen, coyote, and other
wild animals. The disease has also
been spread by horsef1ies and ticks,
and butchers have occasionally con-
tracted it from domestic animals.
Medical researchers at the Uni
versity of Cincinnati recently have
prepared a vaccine which they are
using to immunize hunters and
others against tularemia, but that
| material is not as yet in widespread
| use. Many physicians have used
sulfanilamide in the treatment OF
tularemia, but the miracle" drug"
has so far not proved as effective
against this disease as against many

have endeavored to prevent the
spread of tularemia by laws re-
stricting the sale and purchase OF
handling of wild hares and rabbits.

profit, had a dog he didn't care to

ing to put the price so high that the
matter would be a closed incident,
but not so, he asked for a trial

Looking Back
With this issue we finish 81
years as Meigs correspondent for
the Morgan County Democrat. AS
we look back through the years
read the record, look over the com
munity, and think of those we wrote
of in 1909, we find that there are
very few houses that death has not
visited Even when we think OF
these we find that at least one or
more of the folks who occupied
these houses when we started, have
gone on. In fact, nearly new
generation is now on the stage. At
that time Joe Flanders was county
commissioner, and roads were the
problem of these officials. Let US
elucidate, at that time much Of the
surfacing of our roads was done
with man power-that is the lime
rock was gathered up over the fields
by the land owners, and hauled in
horse-drawn wagons to the site to
be improved, where they were rick
ed 3X3 and as long the farmers
amount would build. Then the next
mans pile was ricked and so on.
The farmer got zoe per yard. He
had to rick them or pay for having
it done. The ricking was a trade.
Some men, or boys, could get more
yards out of a given number than
others. In the case of the former
there was no danger of them mould
ing, as much air space was left be-
tween the rock. Men who were eff
cient at this kind of building, al
ways aimed on breaking the sec
tions they had built for they got 1Oc
for ricking and zoe for breaking.
