Entered as second-class matter May 4, 19 08, at the post office at Syracuse, Indiana, under the Act of Congress oj March 3, i&79Evidence of what appears to be a well organized campaign to delude farmers throughout the country into buying an alleged cure lor hog cholera, under the impression that this has been investigated and approved by the United States Goverment, has reached the Department of Agriculture. Articles praising this medicine, Benetol by name, are being sent out widespread to newspapers. These articles are so worded that it appears as if the • Department of Agriculture had received reports from the state of Minnesota showing that the medicine had proved most beneficial. As a matter of fact the one report received by the Department was an unofficial and unsolicited statement sent presumably from the promoters themselves. The Department attaches no importance whatsoever to this statement. It has sio reason to believe in the efficiency of any proprietary cure for hog cholera and does not recommend any. Under certain conditions it urges farmers to protect their stock with anti-hog-cholera serum but that is all. The Most vital civic problem that noW confronts the people of Indiana is the matter of holding a constitutional convention in the year 1915. This will be determined by vote on a separate ballot at the regular election on November 3, 1914. The rightful determination of this issue calls for a thorough knowledge of Indiana civics and history as well as a clear understanding of all the modern reforms in popular government that have been adopted in the later constitutions of sister states. The nonpartisan manner in which this issue is submitted to the voters by act of the last legislature makes it essentially an educational problem and it is to be hoped that voters will study this matter carefully. Under Marshal Hire’s administration, the streets and alleys are becoming cleaned and present a very much better appearance. Mr. Hire is proving himself a very efficient marshal. A Good plan in Summer is to sit in the house with the door open. Then, when all the mosquitoes have flocked inside, dash out and slam the door after you.
