DR.V. E. BMI! HAS CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA

THOUSANDS OP HOGS JIAVE DIED TEOM CHOLERA THIS : r SEASON, AND FARMERS SUITER LOSS. IT IS CHEAP REMEDY llnch Corn is Being Hauled in and and Sold, and Long Strings of Teams Stand in Line a the Elevator. Just look at the corn. Did you ever see so much" corn coming in as at the present time? I did not suppose there was so much corn raised in the county. The crop this year must have been enormous, much larger than for years. Kot for years, and really never, have so many loads of corn been seen waiting a turn at the elevator to unload as have been seen the past few months. Every day it is the same, and there seems no end of it . Such remarks are heard in the neighborhood of the elevator of Mil-' ner & Grube on the Lake Erie & Western railroad. What does it indicate f It has been the policy of farmers in this section to feed their corn to hogs. Little corn comparatively was brought to market and sold as it was worth moro to feed to stock than to sell. The meaning of the unusual amount of cor being marketed now is plain. Cholera has been playing havoc with the herds of hogs, and thousands of them have died' in Marshall county, and the same has been true in other sections, for reports are general that the hogs have suffered much from this cause. In some instances near Plymouth, practically the entire herd of hogs will die in a few days. One man had thirty-two, and thirty died. The way the hogs are first taken with the disease, they refuse to eat. They will apparently be all right in the evening, but the next morning do not eat, but appear to be dull and sluggish, moping around in a stupid manner. They get weaker, and after a few days die. We have the situation summed up by one man who expressed it in a single statement. The corn being hauled in indicates a good corn crop, but a poor hog crop. No farmer, will haul all his corn off the farm unless he is compelled to do so, and failure in hogs is the compelling force this year. An active controversy has been started among live stock e::perts in Indiana over methods for fighting hog cholera, which is recognized as one of the worst pests the farmer has to deal with, as it is estimated that the cholera sometimes destroys millions of dollars' worth of hogs in this state in a year's time. Dr. Verne E. Baldwin, of Amboy, Ind , who has been visiting friends in Indianapolis, says he has discover ed a method for making hogs im mune by means of a medicine administered through the mouth in tablet form. This has aroused to activity the veterinary surgeons of the state, who of late have made a large income from their services in inoculating hogs with cholera serum. Up to a short time ago the only successful system, of protecting hogs from cholera was by the serum method, which costs from 50 cents to 75 cents a hog. N Tested on Many Hogs. Dr. Baldwin says he has been working on his new method of immunizing hogs for sevenl years, and now feels confident it is successful, as it has been tried on several thousand hogs. He has been assisted in his research by his brothers, Dr.'C. P. Baldwin .Amboy and Dr. Arthur Baldwin ox "Peru. In their opinion, the new system of administering the medicine Internally will be widely used, as farmers can u Hcrcr'o Tbb?

administer the preparation themselves at a cost of not more than 25 cents a hog. The advocates" of the inoculation of serum are looking askance at the new method and some of them are advocating the passage of a law by the next legislature regulating the administration of cholera medicine to hogs. Dr. Baldwin thinks a fairly drawn law of .the kind proposed would be a good thing. Teams Standing On Streets. On Friday, January 12, while the Mayor was busy with the snow shovelling business, another question was sprung. A certain man living a short distance in the country, drove to town with a big wagon, and loaded on a load of manure to be used as fertilizer on his farm. Being in no great hurry, he decided to rest awhile after loading his wagon, and at 10:30 hitched his horses to a post in front of Fuller's store. He did not think test to. blanket the horses, but left them uncovered in the biting cold, without fopd.or water, or shelter of any sort, until late in the afternoon, as it was getting dark. Some people who have business near there, complained that the -load of manure standing there all day was an unsightly and disease-breeding nuisance, and on that ground the owner should be compelled to remove it. They claim that the hitching of a team with such a load to stand any length of time in, such a public place, is wrong, and should be stopped. Again there is the human side of the question. A man who will leave his team to suffer in the cold, hungry and unblanketed, while he is inside a cigar store playing cards and loafing his time away, should be made to stop doing so. If he must and will spend his time in such a way, then he should be compelled to place his team in a comfortable stable, and remove his load of foul smelling and unsightly manure to a more retired spot. Perhaps the Mayor will look after such matters more closely if his attention is called to a repetition of the circumstance.

Insect Bite Costs Leg. A Boston man lost his leg from the bite of an insect two years before. To avert such calamities from stings and bites of insects use Bucklen's Arnica Salve promptly to kill the poison and prevent inflammation, swelling and pain. Heals burns, boils, ulcers, piles, eszema, cuts, bruises. Only 25 cents at L. Tanner's and Fred Wenzler's. Not Robins At AIL Now comes an authority on birds, and declares that the birds we have been calling robins, such as those seen near the Blain bridg in Plymouth, are not robins at all, but are a species of Canadian grouse. It has been stated in some of the accounts given of these birds, that they were not just like our summer rcbinSy. and this bird man confirms that statement by calling attention to the- difference in the color of the breast of the two birds. Besides these birds are not so large as our robins. Another thing is the beak. The beak of this winter bird is much longer, and is used by the birds in digging in the snow and ice for the berries and seeds on which they live. It is pointed out that the beak of . our ordinary robin is short and not so sharp. Again the habits of the. birds 'are different. Our summer robins go in pairs, but never in flocks, while these birds are seen in quite large companies, and hover together.. The scientific bird student has many other differences to note, but these are the principal points of varianc. . It is. also pointed out that our summer robin could not live in zero weather, while these new comers seem to enjoy the cold, and1 are as happy as any birds to be seen anywhere. Ordinary people who eannot see a great deal of difference will still believe that they see some sort of a bird that is much like a robin, and will continue to feed him and enjoy his hopping aboue Vnd chattering as he plumes himself in 'the sunny nook where he makes his home while with us. A FEW FACTS ABOUT LIVER ' . TROUBLE. A dull sluggish liver alwaj-s brings a dull sluggish feeling to the entire body. When the liver works properly the blood courses through the body in a bright red stream. When the liver is inactive the blood becomes dull and muddy, and it is full of poisonous matter. A great many people try to get a fine clear, pink and white complexion by rubbing things, on their faces. They might rub a lifetime and the same yellow complexion would remain for the liver causes it. Only Bright red blood brings fine complexions. Blood loaded with impurities from the liv er sends the impurities out through the pores of the skin and turns the skin a brownish ydlorr. To get rid of the dull, heavy feeling and muddy, yellow complexion get the liver to working again. Two 50e bottles of BLOODINE will do. it nine times out of ten. If you are troubled fcrith , constipation and straining use BLOODHTE LIVER PILLS vith tha BLOODnTE. Fred Wc-rhr, Cpcciil A).

Honor to Whom Honor Is Dne. During the vacation just past, a merchant of our city noticed a group of children who were looking at the things that were offered for sale, and observed that when they wished to go past asked to "be excused" for passing as they did, and gave exhibition cf training in the small polite civilities that go to make the gentleman and lady. It was noticed that the children were not dressed extra wll, and evidently were not from families who move in what is supposed to be the higher class. Investigation proved that their" family relations were not such as to lead one to suppose they had been trained in politeness at home. Being curious to know the source of this training, the merchant made inquiry, and found that it was in our city schools that these children had been given lessons on manners. Their teachers had not only gone through with the lessons laid down in the Course of Study, and been satisfied with that, but they had gone further, taking "an Interest in the welfare of the children ;who must soon go from their, , and had endeavored to fit them for the various walks of life how to act when in company with others, not only of their own age, but older people. The fruits of this teaching was thus manifest to this observing merchant, and whatever of praise is due should be given for the efforts to not only impart the knowledge of books to the youth, but the nicer little acts of consideration for others true politeness. These particular children were pupils of Miss Carrie Boss, who teaches in one of the rooms of the Washington building. We are informed that in other rooms as well, the subject of politeness, good manners, how to act toward others, consideration for the lights of their fellows are items that -are given prominence. This merchant says, "Honor to whom honor is due," and "so say we all."

Leap Year Dance. The girls of the Winona Telephone Company Plymouth Exchange gave a Leap Year dance Wednesday night at the K. of P. Hall. Some eighteen couples were in attendance, and a jolly good time was enjoyed by all. The music was furnished by Miss Hattie Mason at the piano. and Roscoe Hobbs of Argos with the drums. Refreshments were served at the Plymouth Inn, and from the way the girls appear "the day after." there is no reason to sup pose they stayed so late as to make them unfit for the duties of their several stations. The labors of a telephone girl are not always pleas ant, and if they wish to have an evening of ,.iun and frolic, thev should be allowed to do so. Here's I hoping they will each find a suitable husband this leap year. State Bank Election. The Stockholders of the Plymouth State Bank met Tuesday, January 9. 1912 at 2.00 p. m. for their annual meeting, and elected directors as follows for the ensuing year: David E. Snyder, Charles T.

Soice, Cashier. Meat Market Changes Hands. Guy Ames sold nis market, known as the old Kuhn stand, to Messrs. Eugene and Leo Pesch Thursday morning, and the new firm- took possession at once. Apparently this place was in demand' as there were three parties wantinsr to hnv it. The ones with the longest "pocket book, and the disposition to let eo If of the most money, won out in the contest. The Pesch family are not new to the meat caters of tht city, and the new firm have many friends who will gladly follow them in their new business. 1183! mil ITGtl!

A Tragedy of Instinct. On November 7, 1911, Miss Cora Mel Patten gave a reading under the auspices of the Saturday club, the subject being Maeterlinck's Blue Bird. The following written by Maurice Maeterlinck! is printed in the Forum, and tells of the curious death march of a species of caterpillers. He says: Here are some rather strange caterpillers, the processionaries, which are not rare; and, as it happens, a single string of them, five or sir yards long, has just climbed down from my parasol pines and is at this moment unfolding itself in the walks of my garden, carpeting the ground traversed with transparent silk, according to the custom of the race. To say nothing of the meteorological apparatus ' of unparalleled delicacy which they carry on their spine, these caterpillars have this remarkable quality, that they travel only in a troop, one after the other, like the blind of Breughel or those7 in the parable, each of them obstinately following her leader; so much so, that our author having one morn ing placed the file on the edge of a lrge stone vase, thus closing the circuit, for seven whole days, during an atrocious week, through cold, hunger and unspeakable weariness, the unhappy troop, on its tragic round, without rest, respite or mercy, pursued the pitiless circle until death arrived. BURGLARS IN TOWN. Bob's Place On Michigan Street Broken Into and Money Taken. When the clerk came to open the Cigar store this morning he found that the back door had been opened and the place robbed. At the back door is an entrance covered over and the door was forced open, then the glass in the inside door was broken. Whoever it was then crawled through the opening, and evidentally knew that the key .was kept in a case in front, for he took that key and unlocked the door, leaving the key in the lock. He took some three dollars in money, some pipes and tobacco and other articles from the show cases. The identity of the burglar is almost certainly known, and if followed up it will be a simple matter to bring him to justice. The cigar store is owned by Robert Snell, and his brother is in charge of the place at present. D. A. R. Meeting. Wythougan Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, held the regular meeting Friday evening at the home of Mrs. Everly, the hostess being assisted in the entertainment by Mrs. Aspinall. There were sixteen at the meeting, which was the first gathering for this year. The officers elected at a previous meeting took their respective positions, and the usual order of exercises followed. The meetings are always opened by the Chapter in unison repeating the - Lord's Prayer, and singing America. Mrs. Humrichouser then gave a review of the Magazine of the Society. At 7.15 the company went to the Plymouth Inn, where a bounteous dinner was spread for them, and to which ample justice was done. Returning to the home of Mrs. Everly, the paper of the evening on Events Leading to the Constitution, was read by Miss Ida Klinger. Delegates to the next Continental Congress, to be held in Washington next April, and Mrs. Thayer, Regent, and Miss Edna Capron, the alternates being Mrs. Humrichouser and Mrs. Logan. Two new members were voted into the society. Mrs. Rankert and Mrs. Barnes. This makes thirtyeight members in the local chapter, twelve of whom are now non-residents of the city, but hold membership here. The next meeting will -be at the home of Mrs. Logan, with Miss Morris assisting in the entertainment. The new year book and program was handed out by the committee in charge of the work, and all were delighted at the style and beauty of the booklets. On one page was a picture with the words "Wythougan, Yellow Water,' below, ft is a picture of the old mill dam, and the printer has brought out the detailof the picture so perfectly, that the ladies are in raptures over the pleasing effect, and expressed them selves freely. The work was done at the Republican office. What Makes A Woman? , One hundred and twenty pounds, more or less, of bone and muscle don't make a woman. It is a good foundation.

TALKS AGAINST

D, ARGELS POST A M. L. COREY OF ARGOS TAKES PROMINENT PART IN FIGHT TO PREVENT CHANGE IN ' POSTAL RATES. WOULD HELP RETAILER Parcels Post Goes In the Wrong Direction Works Against Local Commnnity Interests In Favor of Cities. Mr. M. L. Corey, Editor National Hardware Bulletin, Argos, Indiana, said that it was contended that a Parcels Post should be instituted in order to lower express rates and to harmonize domestic with foreign postal charges. He said that the mercantile associations of the country have been actively co-operating to secure s war of competition, but through the same means as had been employed for the regulation of freight and passenger tariffs. It has been contended, he said that because the rate with certain foreign countries under conventions made by our post office department, was only 12c per pound, our domestic rate should be lowered to that figure. Under the international rate fractions of a pound were charged 12c. 90 per cent of the total number of packages be believed, weighed less than 4 ounces. We can send a 1-oz-package to Manilla for one cent but the same costs 12c to England. Tariff and other restrictions pre vent large shipments through the mails from abroad. It is better, he said, to give attention to quick and safe delivery of letters and reading matter, rather than encourage use of the mails for large packages of merchandise. While little packages do not delay the handling of letters and periodicals, an accumulation such as we find about Christmas, demoralizes the country post office. One and a half pounds are now carried for 24 cents. This is less than the minimum freight or express charge. The Government is handling, practically all this character of business at a price that pays a profit. If you halve the present rate, you must double the number of small packages now carried to obtain the present revenue. Cost of handling will be nearly doubled. A profitable part of the business has been converted into a losing business. Slower methods of transporting such I packages by the government eliminat mg the element of promptness, would send the business to the express com panies. ' People who buy or sell merchandise should pay the full cost of transportation. In a country so large as ours, the just method would be to base the same upon distance.- Under some of the bills proposed, a New England manufacturer could send merchandise wrapped in separate packages long distances, more cheaply than he could freight the same at carload rates. The prime motive hack of the agitation is the building up of the business of mail order concerns. The South and West would be most injured. They are yet developing and credit demands of dealers are greaterv The natural law of distance protection would be elimenated. If you make the local merchants business a losing one, you deprive the communities of their usefulness as tax payers and Boosters of local enterprises. We have investigated effects abroad and 99 per cent of the retail merchants 6f the country oppose Parcels Post extension. The Department has used the whip upon postmasters and employees to secure advocacy of the measure. The R. F. D. was designed without references to cost .to educate and uplift the farmers of the country. The farming population is favored. People of the villa ores pay box rent. Sales of the countrv merchant depend upon his ability to get people to his store and inspect the goods. Sales of retail mail order houses depend upon their ability to induce customers to buy without seeing the quality. ' . Parcels Post will not benefit the wholesaler, hotel keeper, traveling man, and liveryman, country publisher, barber or blacksmith. In depreciation of values following deduction of social advantages, it will cost the farmer $100.00 fcr every $1.00 fof saving he may make. Establish ment of foreign features will bring old world conditions. Our policy has been to build up the local communities, rather than a few larg cities' and business concerns.
