infection. At other times the LESSONS

those of certain germ-borne swine us

Is required to tell them apart
Swine of all ages may die OF nog
cholera with symptoms that resemble
those of poisoning: others may snow
fits, commissions and nervous symp-
toms that simulate brain disorder'
still others may linger many days with
weakness, dysentery and vomiting as
the only outward signs OF the disease.
frequently one or two pigs IN
herd die suddenly ten days TO two
weeks before the balance OF the herd
sickens. Often an owner mistakenly
believes that the first dead pigs were
injured, and neglects having MS veter-
marian perform an autopsy.
This complexity Of symptoms, and
the rapidity with which cholera Kills
are reasons why authorities urge vac.
cination of all pigs as matter Oh
sound insurance. Owners whose
herds have been properly immunized
against hog cholera are freed from
the constant, haunting worry OF look

are never forced TO send their herds
to market at improbable weights SIM

the community.

HARDIN COUNTY
Rope Saves Man
In Fall

As miraculous as it may seem.
Rudolph Stegman, of Fremont, es-
capped almost certain death as he
fell from the top of the 100-foot
water tower at the Champion Equip
ment company in Kenton, recently.
He was painting near the top of the
tower, being suspended in space by
a scaffold when the rope broke that
was holding him and his equipment
in the air.
Falling into space, he did some
quick thinking and by some miracle
was able to grasp another dangling
rope in his descent. Clutching it
tightly he was able to break the
fall, after hurting some rs feet.

Office

A group of at least seven juve-
niles, mindful Of the current high
prices paid for scrap metal, caused
damage conservatively estimated at
$4,000 when they literally demol-
ished the interior of the closed
Gramm- Bernstein Truck Co. office
structure in Lima. The firm, which
has been out of business for many
years, built the first Liberty truck
during World War |.
Dudley Bernstein, owner of the
structure which contained large
quantity of office equipment, said all
of the devices had been smashed,
the boiler crushed and sold for scrap
together with every possible piece of
brass. Door hinges even were re-
moved.
Bernstein added the vandals had
wrecked large marble slaps to reach
plumbing fixtures.

Crawfs School To
Be AuctiOned

Crawfis College, erected in 1883
under the terms of the will of John
Crawfs and used for local school
purposes for 81 years, will be offer
ed for sale at auction July II by the
