HOG CHOLERA WAS ,C0STLYT0 COUNTY Porkers Valued at $125,000 " Victims of Disease DurC " ing the Epidemic.

.. The hog cholera season is now closIng, after having caused a loss to the farmers and stock breeders of Wayne county of over $125,000, firing the fall and winter of 1911-12. These fig- ; ures are only approximated, but are ; made conservative by a prominent local veterinarian, who says last fall I was the hardest season for hogs that I he has ever witnessed. Hundreds of hogs were lost. One man eouth of the city, on the edge of the county line, lost over 1,200 porkers. Farmers over the county find their herds depleted to an enormous extent. The high price of pork is attributed to the ravages of the cholera. The loss annually in this state from ihog cholera is placed at about $3,000,!000, but last winter and fall the loss i probably totaled $5,000,000, The cholera, which in past years jhaB done much damage to the pork j population of this county, started i about one month earlier last fa.ll. and I in the warmer weather of early fall jgot in its deadliest work. Whole herds I perished in some places. The output of innoculation serum fby several factories in the state and 'at Pjrdue laboratories was not large .enough to meet the demand, and many ; veterinarians could not, secure enough of the serum to vaccinate the hogs brought to them by the farmers. Probably fifty per cent more hogs would have been saved if tha serum could have been obtained. A peculiar situation now exists. The small pigs born this spring, are dying ioff at a rapid rate. Whether this is idue to the severe winter or other causes is unknown, but the complaint is general. Many farmers are bringing in small pigs and having them vaccinatjed with the pure serum. Then in about six or eight weeks, a second vaccinajtion will be given. ' Dr. L. ('. Hoover, a veterinarian of ithis city, has complied figures show!lng the value of the serum. In all the hundreds of hogs and pigs he innoculated last fall and winter, 96 per cent were saved. .WALL PAPER TO CLEAN BENNETT, THE CLEANER Phone Quigley's 1722 or 1296 Why He Was Late.

There are A Lot of Dead Grandmothers all Over the Country Today-Mr. Fan Drops Business to Help Open Baseball Season

Stirring Call of the National Game is Heard This Afternoon in the "Big Leagues" "Me grandmother's dead," the office boy said Caressing his eyes with his sleeve. "Too bad," said his boss, with a shake of the head, "You must take a day off for to grieve." "I've a pain in me dome," was the bill clerk's moan As he rubbed his knob, which was hairless. "You'd better lay off," said the boss, with a cough; "Your headaches might make you careless." The rest of the force, with no sign of remorse Killed their relatives off. Twas a shame! And the boss, wilh a glance at. his calendar askance, Hung a sign out: "Closed for the game." At 3:3ft this afternoon the cry of "Play ball!" will reverberate throughout the land, and fourteen million and eighty six ball men will enthusiastically toss an erpial number of perfectly good spring "kelleys" into hundreds of arenas, ((in emulation of Mr. Roosevelt.) The oldest inhabitant will comb his whiskers in fiendish glee. Eight, million small boys will turn back flipflops of surpassing joyousness. Dickey birds will carol; peanut venders will also carol, and such a shout of gladness will arise from incalculable ball fields that, old Father Time, if he be not too dried and withered, will grab off the presidency of the ('lock League and challenge Death, the Shade Circuit magnates, to a ball game of a million innings. For today is the day, brother, when those who have used up their available stock of grandmothers begin on closer kin, fall ill from mysterious maladies, yea, and even risk a prison sentence to watch the Mick Centers wallop the Inlanders. Such is the call of America's King of Sports, the owning of the ball season. Baseball is at once the nation's curse and blessing. It panlyzes business, opens pocket books, makes the newly married late to dinner, brings the nepenthe to the tired, and heralds the arrival of Spring. In a word it casts the cloak of kinship over the nation; bootblacks hobnob with broker; bartenders wager the coin of the realm with bankers, while bricklayers and barbers fight merrily over the momentous question of whether Swat, the Ball Killer, has grown rusty. There are bugs, buglets and bugeltes, in order of rotation, all and each of which will be represented at the games this afternoon. The bug proper is the male species. He cares not from which quarter the wind doth blow nqr how the sea rageth. When he is on earth he reads the sporting columns, joins the office pools and has even been known to steal the milk money to indulge his passion; and when he goes to heaven cavorts about a sea of bleachers, throws pop bottles at the celestial "umps" and otherwise conducts himself according to his nature. Buglets are little Bugs, shorn of hair and whiskers. They bore holes in the ball park fences, pester fond fathers with childish importunities, consume prodigious quantities of ball ground peanuts, wreck the quiet of the domicile with piping narrations of prowess with bat and ball, and invoke a mother's critical, "I do declare, John TIenery, if you ain't growing up to be a bug just like your father." And so they are. Otherwise the genus would die out and future generations would peruse the editorials, worry about, coal strikes, vote the Socialist ticket and mayhap tote about a bomb or two. And bugettes? Why the bugette is the alter ego of the bug; the female of the species, the suffragettes of balldom and the very apple of the bug's eye. She sits in the grandstand with avid, earnest interest, and when the battle hangs by a thread, forecasts the decision with the portals of a flower, carelessly plucked from her Easter bonnet, quoting to the dropping of the leaves, "They win; they don't. They win; they don't." And if, through any trick of fate her prognostications fail, she brings sympathy to the home and alleviates her husband's sorrow by carrying up the kitchen coal, mowing the lawn, stoking the furnace and bathing the throbbing dome of Mr. Bug, while she whispers into his tear choked ear, "Never mind. Magnolius, my own. Perhaps they will win another day. and anywaythat Mr. Matthewson is just the loveliest man!" ! There are only three big league cities that will be without a game today. They are Detroit, Washington and Pittsburgh. At these cities the first official scheduled game will be a week from today. Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia and New York are the cities that stage an American league contest today, while Boston, Brooklyn, Cincinnati and St. Louis will s?e their National League teams in action. The opening day's games of the American League are as follows: Washington at Philadelphia. I Detroit at Cleveland, j Boston at New York, j St. Louis at Chicago. The National League openings are: In the Athletics-Senators game at Philadelphia, it is almost a certainty that Connie Mack's world champions will be pitted against the wonderful twirling of the great Walter -Johnson. With Johnson in the bo, Washington is a good match for any team, and Clark Griffith declared he is asnguine of landing the victory over the Athletics and thereby getting off to a running start The Athletics w ill probably have Chief Bender In the box, or possibly Eddie Flank. The. same veteran

team that clinched tbe American league laurels last season are to take the field for the world's champions and the battle between the title holders and second divisioners should prove a sizzling contest from beginning to end. The Detroit invasion of Cleveland means one of the toughest games that could be arranged. There is intense rivalry between the two owing to Cleveland's remarkable spurt last year under the leadership of George Stovall, and Cleveland is conceded this year to be one of the hardest contenders for Detroit's runner-up position. Harry Davis will probably send Vean Gregg to the firing line and Hughey Jennings will likely use George Mullin or Bill Donovan, both veterans. The St. Louis Browns showed such unexpected form against Bresnahan's Cardinals in the pre-season series that they are expected to prove the "dark horse" of th American League race this year, although they finished a poor last in 1911. Bobby Wallace will probably use one of his young phenoms on the slab against the White Sox at Chicago today, while Jimmy Callahan is expected to offer the great Ed. Walsh. Chicago figures even with Detroit, Cleveland and New York in the battle for second place in the league. Jake Stahl, leading the Boston Red GAMES TOD A Y National League. New York at Brooklyn, clear.

Sox, and Harry Wolverton, in charge of the New York Yankees, are the rival mentors in the game in Gotham. Both men are newcomers to managerial berths and boast that the addition of recruits has strengthened their teams so much as to make them pennant contenders, and a fierce contest is expected to ensue on the New York hill-top. The New York Giants, champions of the National League, will play across (he river in Brooklyn today. Both of these teams have lined up groups of youths as recruits to the veteran nucleus. As a general thing Brooklyn is no match for New York, but it may be a genuine tussle today, as Manager Bill Dahlen intends to send Nap Rucker to the fore against the McGraw clan. Mathewson and Marquard are expected to work for New York, with Meyers catching. The Pittsburg Pirates, who are being picked by many to beat out the Giants in the National League this year, are playing on the home grounds of the St. Louis Cardinals. Despite the bang-up finish of the Mound City clew last year, they do not figure in the same class with the Pirates. Bresnahan is expected to use tall Harry Sallee and Fred Clark probably will nominate Howard Caranitz. I'mpire Hank O'Day, the new mana Accurate.

ger of the Cincinnati Reds, will be put to the test officially for the first time against the Chicago Cubs in Cincinnati. In this game Chicago will exhibit is new first baseman, young Joe Agler, successor to Frank Chance, who is expected to prove a scream in the big league. Mordecai Brown is looked upon as the logical choice of Chance for slab duty today and O'Day, it is figured will employ the consistent Gaspar. The Phillies, who were beset by an unprecedented run of hard luck last year in the injuries to outfielder Titus and Manager Dooin and the suspension of Sherwood Magee, are to play on the home lot o ft he Boston Nationals, where Johnny Kling is assuming command. The pitching proposition there is likely to be a matter of youth versus old age, with old Cy Young working for the Beantown band and either Alexander or Chalmers for Philadelphia. While the opening day's game or any other one single day's games for that matter can not cut a great figure in the ultimate results of the pannant races, they will afford the fans their first opportunity to speculate sensibly upon the possible success of this or that recruit. Anyway, they are a beginning, the season is on, and everybody's happy.

BOWLING SCORES

Nusbaum and Knollenberg carried off the honors in the first evening's contest in the two-men team tournament which started last evening at the Y. M. C. A. alleys. Five teams bowled last evening. Nusbaum and Knollenberg rolled 315 in the first 293 in the second and 313 in the third gam, making a total of 921 pins. Knollenberg also made the highest individual score last evening, rolling 189. However, the bowling of every contestant was not as good as expected and it la believed that the teams which bowl this evening will all pass the winners in last evening's games. The individual scores made by the five teams which bowled last night follow: Nusbaum 126 131 150 Knollenberg 189 162 163
