Lists Treatments
For Calf Scours
Dairymen at Kerrick Re-
port Loss of Several Head
of Young Stock.

A number of calves have been lost
recently at Kerrick from scours or
diarrhea and a check with the county
agent, Max McMillin, by Jas. H. Ho-
gan, Kerrick banker, resulted in let
ter Of suggestions for treatments, from
r. Fenstermacher, veterinarian in
charge of the diagnosis laboratory at
the University Farm, St. Paul.
Mr.. Fenstermacher states that it
is not unusual to have this condition
develop in dairy breed cattle the
reason being that the calves consume
too much milk that they are not able
to handle successfully.
Treatment for Dairy Breeds.
The writer goes on to say, "In
case this is confined mostly to the
dairy breeds, would advise that
they be weaned Immediately after
they obtain their nursing of colostral
milk. Hand feed them and add one
third lime water to the milk which
is being fed to the calves. They
should be fed three or four times a
day during the first week of their
life, afterwards this can be reduced
to three times and later on to two
feelings"
He also stated that if the difficulty
was confined to beef cattle it would
be a different proposition First
of ALL" he writes, 81 would want to
know that the dams of these cows
were not Bang infected individuals.
The second thing, if the cows were
negative, then what care is being
taken caring for the navel of the
calves after birth? In other words,
we may be dealing with a navel in
lection that occurs at the time of
birth.
Cleanliness Important.
eff such is the case, the navel
should be painted with iodine i'm
mediately after birth and once or
twice more on following days. Keep
on adding the iodine to the navel
stump until it dries up. If that
doesn't happen, then one will have to
go at it and feed these calves by
hand. l am assuming that the ma
ternity stall has been given a good
cleaning and disinfecting before the
cow is put in there to calve. If
that is not done, our trouble may be
due to unsanitary quarters"
According to County Agent Nc
Millin the same treatment and care
outlined above for the beef breeds
may well be used for dairy calves
also. In either case cleanliness is
of vital importance.

Fourteen MoreIn
|CountyCalledTo
Military Service
Covers Period from March
20 to April 20; May Call
More in April.

Fourteen Pine county young men
will be called for selective service
for the period between March 20 and
April 20 and more may be required
later this month. The last call for
April has not yet been received.
Five registrants entrained at Pine
City for Fort Smelling March 20 to
take the physical examination, and if
they qualify, will be indicted into
the United States army. The men
are William J. Oliverius, George Som
mer and Waldo G.. Kick of Pine City,
Leonard A. Nelson of Denham, and
Walter 1. Martin of Sandstone.
The tentative list of draftees who
will report on April 8 is as follows:
Edgar Rote, Askov; Tony Kluk, Brook
Park; Edward j. Dahlgren and John
B. Willie, Finlayson; and Walter A.
Beneke, Hinckley.
Those who will report on April II
are Emil w. Vita and William H.
Waha of Finlayson, Steve Lemke of
Sturgeon Lake, and Edward F. Hou-
dak, Vincent Stransky, Clarence B.
Nelson and William j. CleWitt of Pine
City.
Transferred From Other Counties.
The Pine county selective service
board wishes to explain that when a
call is received for a number of men,
it must actually furnish that number
from the local board Where, in
checking down the list of order num-
bers, it is found that one or more
registrants are now living outside
of Pine county, these men are trans
ferred for induction; in other words
they are indicted by the nearest To-
cal board to the community in which
they are presiding.
Consequently in some cases, where
Pine county is to furnish five men,
they will perhaps actually furnish
nine, because four are living outside
the county and five must actually 60
from here. This does not affect the
total Pine county quota however, as
when that figure is reached, the local
board will not be asked to furnish
more men during the fiscal year.

International News Review

Germany; it was also limited, but not
definitely stated in just so many
words, that the new government was
likely to express willingness to recog-
nize all treaties between Yugoslavia
and other countries. That, again.,
would include Germany. But, as said,
there was nothing clear, nothing def
mite, about it.
So the German government sent to-
Belgrade a blunt note asking what
was the intention That note was
ignored. Followed, thereupon, an ul-
timatum, and that was answered by
Yugoslav suggestion that a nom
aggression treaty be signed between
Germany and Yugoslavia. AS these
lines are written, evidence accumu-
lates to show that the suggestion will
not be acceptable to Hitler, and it
is considered likely that before the
week ends, Germany will march on
Yugoslavia.
1t had been expected that a
warlike move would have been
made against that country as soon
as the coup in Belgrade had been
accomplished, but as nothing hap
pened, the suspicion grew that
Russia might have frightened
Hitler bit by limiting that the
Soviet relations with Germany
might have to be "re-examined".
The Yugoslav turn of events was
considered victory for British di-
plomacy which has been exceedingly
active at Belgrade for some time.
At the moment when the German
Yugoslav treaty was signed at vi
emma, it was hailed as great tri-
umph for the German school of
diplomacy. 1t turned out to be about
the worst drubbing the Germans have

Order Draftees To
Arrange Affairs

All registrants ordered to report
for induction under the selective serv-
ice system are being warned this
week through the local boards to ar
range their affairs so as to prevent
undue personal hardship if they are
rejected by the army induction ex-
aminerS.
1t. Col. J. E. Nelson, state director
of selective service, points out that
there are instances when men sent
to induction stations by local boards
are rejected on physical or other
grounds. He states that it is the in
tention of state headquarters to re-
duce to minimum any injustices to
registrants involved in such cases.
One of the outstanding possibili-
ties of inequity to rejected registrants
centers on the fact that they may
have severed their employment con-
nections when ordered to report for
induction, Colonel Nelson said.
Local boards, therefore, should adj
wise registrants when they are mott
fed of their call that they should
point out to their employers the pos
sibility that they will not be &C
copied at the induction station.
''The employer can then be pre-
pared to replace the man if he is
accepted" Colonel Nelson said, cor
to continue his employment if he is
rejected"
He also suggested that registrants
be advised that in the event of their
rejection at the army induction sta
ton they should Immediately notify
their employers of the rejection.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

During the last few days the axis
alliance has suffered some pretty
serious defeats, automatically, mill
tarily, and on the sea.
The diplomatic setback took place
in Yugoslavia whose government had
signed treaty with Germany giving
Hitler all the rights he insisted on
with the exception of permission to
let his troops march through Yugo-
slavian territory. In Belgrade and
many other cities throughout the
country it was felt that the govern
ment had "sold out" to Germany
for it was not fully realized how ire
mendous and irresistible the Berlin
pressure had been.
In protest, then, the Yugoslav
army officers organized a revolt
against the government which
had committed their country to
the axis policy; supported by the
army they seized the government
buildings in Belgrade; they de-
posed, and drove into exile, the
prince regent; they arrested the
ministers whose signatures had
hardly dried on the fatefuI docu-
ment, and they proclaimed King
Peter, minor though he still is,
the actual and reigning king of
Yugoslavia.
And then the question came up:
Would the new government organized
in that country honor the treaty its
predecessor had signed? Or would
it repudiate the agreement?
Awaiting Results.
Early official statements made il
clear that Yugoslavia wanted to main
tain friendly relations with all neigh
bors"; that, of course, would include

Ancient Biblical Sites In Modern Wor Areo

MUCH of the fighting that took I' place between British-Free French forces and Vichy French troops occurred in Lebanon, prom inent in ancient and Biblical his- tory.
 Lebanon, before World War l, was part of the Turkish province of Syria. After the war, it became separate state, governed under French mandate. In 1927, Leban- on achieved the status of semi- republic, but continued to operate under French influence.
 Vichy France fought bitterly to hold both Syria and Lebanon, when British troops moved in to take over, on the grounds that Vichy, in reality, intended to per- init Germany to use the two man. dates as bases for drive on Suez. The campaign in Syria and Le- banon was tragically ironical in that Frenchmen were fighting on both sides. It was claimed alter nately by both sides that many soldiers were desertiAg to join up with their brethren.
