Leased Wire Report. FIND WAYNE COUNTY FREE FROM DISEASE Federal Inspectors Visit Farms Represented in Infected Hog Shipments. Dr. Ward and Dr. Hurst, the federal veterinary inspectors who have been tracing shipments of hogs made from Wayne county to Pittsburg about the first of February, have completed their inspection and left today. No traces of the foot and mouth disease have been discovered and . the county has again been given a clean bill of health. Three car loads cf hogs were included in the suspected shipment and the veterinaries inspected all the farms from which hogs were sent to these shipments. Dr. Hurst inspected animals on two farms south of Richmond yesterday and a( farm ' near Whitewater. Dr. Ward ' insected . several farms in the vicinity of Fountain City and visited the stock' yards and abattoirs in Richmond today. Upon going into a herd of animals they donned rubber coats, boots, gloves and hats, for protection against infection. After .the . inspection the outfit was washed in a strong disinfectant. " - BEGIN SELLING GRAIN HELD FOR BIG PRICE Farmers Make Only Nominal Gain as Feed Costs Much More. Farmers who have been holding their wheat at home to take advantage of the increased prices, have been moving the product to the market during the last week. The decline on the Chicago market was responsible for part of the general delivery as farmers feared the market might break suddenly, and thought it best fo take advantage of the present local price of $1.50 a bushel which is Just twice the price offered at threshing time. A farmer living near Richmond who recently delivered 1,000 bushels of wheat at $1.50 a bushel said that he made $750 by holding his crop six months. In most cases, however, it is pointed oyt that the farmers are not Jhe gainers by the high prices which have prevailed for the last month. Most of .he wheat was sold when the market was running from 80 cents to $1.00 a bushel. Now that the price has gone up the price of all mill products has Increased accordingly. The farmer has been hit just as hard by the price of flaur as has the city man. In addition to this the price of mill feeds has increased from $2 to $4 a ton, and this at the season when the farmer must buy the most of his feed. This condition has been felt especially by . the dairymen , who use large quantities of bran and middlings. Some of these men declare that ihere has been little or no profits in the milk business this winter on account of the higher price of feed. They point out that if the price of milk had been increased during the winter months they could have met present conditions much better. In any case it is pointed out that the farmer has not been responsible for the present high prices of wheat, and he is not getting any benefits from it. PACKERS IN CHICAGO CONTROL MEAT PRICES BY LEASED WIRE. CHICAGO, Feb. 17. The declaration, by the state of New York of a quarantine prohibiting the shipment of livestock into the state from points east of the Missouri river today, placed control of the meat business of America in the hands of the Chicago packers and demoralized the local livestock market. Hogs closed 15 to 20 cents lower than Tuesday's prices and practically no cattle or sheen were purchased, the packers preferring to wait. They could do anything they wished, as there was no outlet left for the stock. One by one the scores of packing plants in the east have been closed because of quarantine regulations which cut off supplies. But until today the stock men could always find some sort of a market in New York. All today the only packing piants of any size open were in the west and under control of the Chicago men. The foot and mouth disease epidemic was the cause. ATTENTION FARMERS Hydrophobea having made its appearance among the live stock on some of the farms about Webster, due to the bite of a stray mad dog recently at large, the owners of all dogs in this vicinity should either keep their dogs on their own farms under strict observation or have the dogs killed as a preventative measure. The outbreak of rabies in the country about Webster is serious enough to warrant all farmers in this vicinity taking all preventative measures possible to safeguard their families and live stock. F. W. KRUEGER, M. D. !16-2t County Health Officer.

GLASSES IN PRINTING ENROLL 44 PUPILS

Printing classes at the high school have attained the maximum enroll' ment of 44 pupils. Present equipment of the department would not accommodate a larger enroll ment, said Instructor Towle. The second year pupils are doing advanced work in setting advertisements, and display work. Many of the students have shown talent for the work and are planning to follow it as a trade. One boy who Is enrolled in the high school as a special student, spends the whole day in the printing classes. Mr. Towle is planning to take the classes on several trips of inspection through the newspaper and printing establishments of the city duirng tho present term. As a practical feature of the work Mr. Towle has recommended that tho staffs of the Pyerean and the Cynosure be combined into a class next year which would meet .from time to time to hear talks by people engaged in the newspaper and printing business. KERN IMPLORES (Continued from page 1.) bill being ordered printed. In the sen ate, noon adjournment interrupted a spirited argument on the measure. The senate resumed consideration of the bill when the afternoon session started at 2 o'clock. Representative Jones, father of the measure, opened the debate in the house, explaining the bill completely. Following Jones' ad' dress, Representative Niblack, who also favors the bill, moved to advance it. Senator Rinear led the fight for the bill in the senate. The committee re port, unfavorable to the measure, was presented by Senator Van Auken who explained that the committee would favor a bill to refer the primary proposition to the voters at the next election. Senator Rinear asked that the report of the bill be not concurred in. "I want to go back home to the people who sent me here and tell .them I voted, for this bill," he said. "I do not want to go back on my promise and I will not concede that my party go back on her promise. You can protest against this bill but you cannot throttle the will of the people." Senator Ballou supported Rinear's argument, declaring there were "three hundred thousand voters now waiting for the Democrats to stand by their platform." The other senators who spoke in favor of the measure wejie Robinson, Sommers, Humphries, Culbertscn and Thornton. The latter said he favored it for selfish reason, as he had been nominated by five primaries. 75; Jewel. $5.25; Tennessee, $5.50; Hocking Valley, $4.50; Indiana. $3.75; coke, $7; Winifred Washed pea $4.00; nut and slack, $3.00.

This question and "How to Prevent Colds" is asked a thousand times every day. A cold is really a fever, not always caused by the weather but due to a disordered condition of the blood or lack of important foodelements. In changing seasons fatfoods are essential because they distribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the body better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the underlying reason why the medicinal fats in Scott's Emulsion quickly overcome colds and build strength to prevent more serious sickness. It contains nature's medicinal fats, so skillfully " prepared that the blood profits from every drop, and it is free from harmful drugs or alcohol. ' a-57 " Scott & Bowne. Bloomfield. N. J.

BY LEASED WIRE. FOLKESTONE, Eng., Feb. 17.--Steamship offices here posted notice today that beginning tomorrow they will suspend traffic between Folkestone and Calias and Boulogne in the English channel "for a few days." The suspension, however, is believed to be for an indefinite period or until there is no further danger from German submarines. WEED DETECTS (Continued on Page Ten.) . find it within themselves to fight the bureau for entirely perspnal reasons." Make Small. Pledgee. Only a few of the solicitors . have made returns on the canvass. Those who report said they found no difficulty in securing pledges. The amounts of the pledges have not been as great as some had hoped for. The payment-a-month plan for . subscriptions is appealing to many donators. Several persons have signed the cards promising to pay in $1 a month for the next twelve months. ! Others have liked the "one day of work" plan of giving a day's wages of the head of the house. Mr. Weed said he will make every effort to shorten the campaign since the city administration or part of it has taken such an attitude against the bureau. The -meeting of solicitors to night will be for the purpose of revising plans. Brings Out Opposition. "We have to make this campaign a success whether there is opposition or not," Mr. Weed said. "It is important now, I believe that we hasten the work cf the solicitors and also find some means of refuting the stories the bureau's enemies are circulating. "I understand that Mr. Melpolder's opposition to the methods of the loan companies here and his threatened campaign of exposure has brought out some strong opposition since the heads cf the loan companies are now out working among their friends and acquaintances to fight the bureau."

These passes will expire only with the death of either and can be used In any part of the United States. Accompanying the announcement of the gift. Mr. Covert sent a letter in which he spoke flatteringly of the work of the local ticket receiver. The office has been for years considered one of the best on the Pennsylvania system and for accuracy, it la not excelled, the Pittsburg auditor said. The work has been carried on here with such system that the office is dependable at all times, he continued. Road Delays Changes. The railroad company has planned changes in the office arrangements in the second story of the depot. Out of respect for Mr. Moffett who occupied the same room since the new depot was erected and a corresponding room in the old structure, for a total of about thirty years, it has been put off until after Mr. Moffett's retirement. After April 1, the jticket receiving room will be abandoned and the of fice will be placed in a new room which is to be partitioned off in the baggage room downstairs. This is for convenience of conductors as it will save them making the trip upstairs and will save undue hurry for those who have little time to report.
