URGES FIGHT ON HOG CHOLERA
Dr. Gow Gives Methods to be Recommended
In Coming Farm Campaign.
So tremendous have been the
losses in Arkansas from hog chol
era that the people are arroused to
the necessity of checking the rav
ages of this disease. There are
effective methods of preventing
cholera from spreading in a com
munity, and vfavs of saving a large
part of the herd if cholera strikes
it. In the Profitable Farming cam
paign to be carried on in Arkansas
in November, stress will be laid on
hog cholera, and the people urged
to adopt effective methods of pre
aention.
Hog cholera is carried by owners
of diseased hogs visiting other
farms; by owners of well hogs vis
iting farms on which there are dis
eased hogs; by the purchase of
new stock; by dogs, cats, and oth
er animals, and by pigeons, crows,
buzzards, and other birds; by pas
turing well hogs close to sick ones:
by infected streams; by hunters,
careless hog buyers and visitors,
and on the wheels of vehicles.
The methods for preventing hog
cholera from reaching a herd are
based on common sense sanitation.
The first thing to do is to clean up
the hog pens. After cleaning up
the pens, purify them with lime.
Then keep them pure**and clean,
and procide wood ashes and slacked
lime, coke or coal for the hogs to
eat.
If your hogs have cholera stay at
home. If your neighbors’ hogs |
have it, stay away. Keep the hogs
from running streams when cholera
is in the neighborhood. Have a
dipping vat and use it regularly.
Have a bath for the hogs, too.
Hogs prefer the bath to the wallow.
A platform bath tub six feet square
and six inches deep is best, for it
can be moved from place to piace j
as needed. This bath will do away i
with the wallow. Hog cholera |
germs live from year to year in the
wallow.
If a hog is sick and cholera is sus
pected. get him away from the well
hogs at once; kill him and have a
veterinarian examine him and de
termine definitely whether he has
cholera. No time should be lost.
If it is cholera, burn the remains.
Then turn your attention to the rest
of the herd. Send a wire to your
Agricultural College; or to some
Government-inspected firm, asking
for enough serum to vaccinate the
hogs. Have this serum injected
by a veterinarian don’t try to do it
yourself unless you are experienced
at it.
Caution is urged in the use of the
“double treatment" serum and virus
together. Serum — the “single
treatment"—makes hogs immune
from cholera for from 30 to 60
days. Virus is condensed hog
cholera and when you inject virus
you give the hog cholera. The use
of serum at the same time coun
teracts the effect of the virus and
makes the hog permanently im
mune. This is the “double treat
ment" and is used mostly for pure
bred breeding stock and on young
hogs that will be on the place a long
time. When the “double treat
ment is thought necessary always
have it given by an experienced hog
cholera man. —Dr. R. M. Gow.
Skin Disease Cured.
Your druggist guarantees tore
turn your money if Hunt's Cure
fails to cure skin disease, itch, ec
ze ■na. tetter, ringworm and other
forms of skin trouble. Also fine
for piles, old sores. Costs nothing
if it fails to cure. Give it a trial.
Postal Savings Deposits Increasing.
The war in Europe is proving a
big boon to postal savings in this
country. From the very day hos
tilities opened across the seas post
al-savings receipts began to in
crease by leaps and bounds and
withdrawals fell off. a result quite
contrary to the prjdic'.ions of rrany.
The growth of postal savings in
the United States has been steady
and healthy and the system has
filled an important gap between the
tin-can depository and the factory
paymaster. On July l,when af
fairs were running smoothly here
and abroad and the transmission of
money across the Atlantic was safe
and expeditious, there was approx
imately $43,000,000 of postal sav
ings standing to the credit of about
388,000 depositors. Since then
over $10,000,000 of deposits have
been added and the number of de
positors has increased enormously.
This unp-ecedented gain is the
more striking when it is considered
that the net gain in the last three
months is larger than the gain for
the entire fiscal year 1914.

Democrats Should Go to the Polls Nov, 3.
While there is no particular in
terest in the November Election in
this section of the country it is the
duty of every loyal Democrat to go
to the polls and vote for the Demo
cratic nominees, Senator James P.
Clarke, and Congressman W. S.
; Goodwin. Mr. Goodwin has no op
| position, and the opposition to Sena
tor Clarke amounts to practically
nothing. The fact alone that this
is the first opportunity tljp peppte
of Arkansas have eyer had to vote
direct for a United States Senator
should create some interest in the
I election. It is very important that
| the Democrats go to the polls and
vote on November 3rd.

which will open in Hot Springs on
November 16 and close November
21, this early presages the greatest
exposition of the bountiful state of
Arkansas that has ever boen a fea
ture of the commonwealth's history.
There is an incentive in this, and
the incentive is seen in the desire
of every county to gain representa

tion to have something from their
county in the great exhibit Arkan
sas will send to the wonderful show
to be staged next year in the Gold
en Gate state.

VAST LOSS TROM TICKS
Dr. Wight Savs Great farming Campaign Wi I
Arouse People tn Kelp.
The a mual losses from the cattle
ti zk in Arkansas are tremendous
There are about 590 000 cattle in
the tick area that are not being sys
tematically handled to rid them of
the ticks. Of these about 75.000
die each year from tick fever. In
the sections where vats have been
put in and operated under Siate
and Government supervision the
loss from tick fever has been al
most nothing.
A death rate of 75.000 cattle
every year means a loss of nearly
$2,000,000. T he losses in market
values on these 590.000 cattle
average about $650,000 every 12
months. In this area there is a 20
per cent decrease in the milk flow
beca ’se of the ticks, entailing a
loss of about $2,000,000 yearly.
Totalling these losses, which are
conservatively estimated, the peo
ple'of this state are nearly $5,000.
000 poorer each year because of
the ticks. But the greatest loss
is from the danger of bringing in
pure bred animals from above the
quarantine line.
But the people can get rid of the
ticks in the next couple of years by
concentrated efforts of the 75
counties of the state. In all the
tick free area is nearly 13,000
square miles, or about one-fou th
the state.
In the territory where we are
now working there are about 180
vats in operation under supervision.
At these vats about 45.000 cattle
are dipped every month. In the
tick infested area many vats have
been built by individuals, and these
are a great help.—Dr. A. E. Wight.
The Magic Washing Stick.
“The Magic Washing Stick is the
finest thing in the world. Cleans
the clothes without rubbing—makes
the whitest clothes I ever saw. 1
cannot do without it any more. All
you say of it is true, it does all you
say it will. 1 would give it for
nothing 1 have ever used. I hope
every lady will try it," writes Mrs.
W. F. Gammill. Ashdown. Ark.

Illiteracy Among Arkansas Rural Population.
The need of more and better ru
ral schools in Arkansas is made
manifest by conditions revealed in
a recent census report showing the
percentage of illiterates among the
native white farming c'ass of the
state. The figures show that the
percentage of illiteracy in the rural
districts of Arkansas is 7.8 and 1.6
per cent in the cities and villages
of the state. Arkansas has 142,
954 illiterates and 132.495 of
them live on the farms. There
! are 66,783 boys and men and 65,
; 71 0 girls and women on the farms
i of this state that can neither read
nor write.
Guard Against Typhoid Fever.
On account of there being four
cases of typhoid fever in Huttig the
town council on last Monday night
issued several c’ean-up notices and
j ordered the street commissioner to
! grade Fifth street in a manner that
will do away with pools of water.
A sample of the drinking water
used here has been sent to the de
partment of agriculture tor exami
nation by the state chemist and
other precautionary methods will
be put into effect by the city, but if
we are to prevent an epidemic of
this disease the people generally
must do their part in the matter.
It is a known fact to the medical
profession that the house fly is the
most common carrier of this dis
ease and every resident should see
that his home is rid of this pest a"d
kept rid of it.
Milk is another easy method of
infection and only milk in sanitary
jars or bottl rs should be u^ed, and
jars or bottles cleaned thoroughly
daily. If an infected fly comes in
contact with t ie milk, and you
drink the milk, you lay yourself lia
ble to contract the disease.
Clean up your premises of old
cans which hold water and create
breeding places for misquotoes and
also all dead grass and rubbish, es
pecially manure and decaying mat
ter. which afford good breeding
ground for the fly. All should do
this at all times for pride's sake if
nothing else bu ; do not.
If everybody will wake up to the
seriousness of the situation and do
his p-irt we will escape an epidemic
of this dreaded disease and save
much suffering a d expense if not
a number of lives

Her Idertity.
A lawyer who hails from the Sunny
South tells this story.
“I had a rich client who died. Her
will set aside a certain amount to be
paid to her negro maid in monthly
installments.
“The beneficiary could not write her
name, and each month 1 had her mark
the receipt with an X. One day she
handed me the receipt, signed with a
circle.
“Didn’t I tell you to mark an X to
that paper?" I asked.
“Yes, jedge,” she answereed, "but I'a
i married now. I done changed ma
name.”
For Gentlemen in Hard Luck.
Because he once was put down and
out by the non-appearance of a fleet
of merchantmen, Sir John Morden, an
English Turkey trader, was so over
joyed when the argosy showed up
some years later and made him a rich
man that he established a home,
where it was his wish that gentle
men who found themselves financially
I embarrassed might find shelter. That
was in the year 1700 or thereabouts.
Now the trustees of the institution
are advertising for inmates. Those
eligible are wholesale traders who by
accident or misfortune are in need.
There are certaiu provisoa.
whpn you hav° 'avors to extend, you hrd rather ac
commodate a neighbor who has accommodated yo i in some
way. Y: u naturally feel that you should favor those who
favor you.
Just so it is in business. The merchant will more
readily exter d credit to the man whom he Knows spends
his cash with him.
Here at the bank we can always make a loan to a de
positor who we know will bring his deposits to us when he
has funds. Of course, we have to loan to others sometimes
in order to cet our money out. but we naturally would
rather favor with loans those who have favored us with
b— their deposits.
So it is a good plan to have banking connections with a
good strong bank Make this vour banking home. De
posit with us when you can and when the time comes that
you need help you will find us able and willing to help you.
