[Page Sr., former legislator and warI time State Food Administrator, died; at his home here Sunday afternoon about 6:30 following an attack of angina pectoris a few days ago. He had been in declining health for a couple of months and had been unable to attend to business. He was 73 years old. i He was a lifelong Democrat, and j i took part for many years in the par-1 |ty activities. In 1902 he became! (known over the State when he wrote a scries of satirical letters on a de| cision in the courts whereby a per | son might be allowed to enter suit j for "mental anguish" in addition to suing for actual damages. He ridij culed the decision at length. I Ke was i niC-rr.5r.tr of the f.egir.talure in 1913, 1915 and 1917, an ad vocate of State child labor legislation and an ardent Xgc of the tenj deney toward a centralized school .system.

He will be remembered over the State at large best, though, as food administrator during the war when he 3erveu as prosecuting officer, judge and jury in the execution of the food regulations. "It is the mo3t undemocratic thing imaginable," he commented once, "but this is war." DOMESTIC RATS ARK CARRIERS OF I'l.AGl'K, SAYS DR. MEYER Mrs. Moses H. Cone of Fiat Top Manor, Slowing Rock, who has be I coma alarmed over the infestation c-f this eoimty ny wharf rats, sends the following clipping to the Democrat relative to the menace of lite destructive rodents: "Plague is nature's way of regulating the population of rodents which otherwise multiply with extreme rapidity, Dr Karl Meyer of the University of California, says. Domestic rats may share nests with squirrels and so become infected through the fleas, of which ' the average squirrel harbors about twenty. "It is the fiea which generally carries the disease from rat to man. In : the great bubonic plague of 1665, the infection probably was from man .to man. The plague which, in the pandemic, killed off a quarter of Europe isrhd longer a'socially Important disease. 'ihe miecrion -u the domestic rat' is on. the war.e but the Sclvatic form-which is the tnfwliifti'fniiti wild rodents, is an ever present danger. "Outside the Orient ' the current foci of plague are South Africa, Argentina and; California. Both 'State and Federal health departments are active in campaigning against the millions of rodents which "infest the Western states, and which are infected to the extent of two per cent with plague, mostly in the pneumonic form.

B. COLLINS (County Agent) Stomach worms are more numerous and do more damage to sheep during rainy seasons than when the seasons are comparatively dry. These worms do the most damage in the flocks during the months of August and September. If the present rainy season continues the sheep in this county will be in a poor, unthrifty condition, with a considerable loss from stomach worms, unless sheep grrowers drench their sheep at least every three weeks from now until the first killing frost. To drench sheep for stomach worms dissolve one ounce of bluestone inj three quarts of water, and give the grown sheep four ounces, or onefourLh pint, of the solution. Give iambs one-half as much as to grown sheep. Porcelain or enamel! ware receptacles should be used foi the solution, as bluestone, will corrode metal. One ounce of bluestone and three quarts of water are suffi- ' cient for drenching twenty - five grown sheep. Worm capsules, while more expensive, are probably the best treatment for worms in sheep, as they destroy tape and other worms as well as the stomach worms. These capsules may be had at drug stores or from the Rawleigh products dealer in the county. Another goon treatment for stomach worms in sheep is the bluestone nicotine sulphate mixture. This is made by dissolving one ounce of bluestone in one gallon of water and adding one ounce of nicotine sulnhate to the solution. Give grown sheep four ounces of the solution and give lambs half as ? much. One of il-.o best systems for keep- 3j |ing sheep in good condition is to ro- B j tate the above treatments. Care should be exercised in drench- ? ing sheep to keep from strangling, g The sheep should be lieid with all ^ four feet on the ground wilh the |j nose raised on a level with the eye3 S ar.ri the drench given slowly. A pop bottle with a half stopper ? driven in the neck to keep the drench H from flowing too fast makes an ex- I cedent drenching bottle for sheep. P The best drenching outfit ioi snecp m is the four-ounce, drenching syringe. B These may be had from mail order H houses. The farmers who make the best H lambs are the farmers who keep good C purebred bucks. Top lambs cannot be 9 made with low-grade bucks. F.vcry i ft sheep grower who does not have a j i| good buck should arrange to secure iK one before the breeding season be-j | gins.
