Diekerson I, recently went with him and vaccinated 43 people on his places against this disease; and now he is sure that they vfill be free from typhoid for three year. Think what this means to all of those 43 people, and also to the land owner! If any of your tenants should get sick and be unable to work for from six to eight weeks how much would be left of their crops? How much would be your loss ? How i much would be the part the tenant (be he white or colored) would be called . ' a a It . a. m upon to lose; A smaii amount oi persuasion on the part of you land . . i t.

GERMANY AIMS TO DO- BATTLE FOR COMMERCE Nation Planning to Capture World's Trade From United States and Britain South America to Be In vaueii. i. - By EDWIN HULLINGER (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, June' 3. German busi nes is preparing' to accept the chal lenge of European and American hv dustry to a commercial battle for the world's markets the moment peace is signed, according to in formation hore ( , i . Two great rival German manu facturers' associations united recent ly in ; the 'Imperial . Association of German Industries" to "concentrate all forces of German economic life." Before the war South America was one of Germany's most profit able markets, and it is expected the Qeraians will -try -ta, win back 'what they have lost. ; German chemical firms are plan ning a campaign of "peaceful pene tration" to regain" part of the mon opoly they enjoyed previous to 1914. German factories are feverishly hurrying back to peace basis. Krupp's plants "are already turning out . machinery which is being sold m Holland for a price with which Dutch manufacturers cannot co pete. : Several new German foreign trad ing companies export and import- have been organized recently. N'T HAVE TYPHOID; LUMP INOCULATIONS Saturday and you can drop in to see me and get it done in less than five minutes, or if you have 10 or more nt one place who wish to be vaccinated, I shall be glad to make a date to go out and do this for you. Typhoid has been . absolutely stamped out of our army and navy by vaccination; and it will never be eliminated from our county until we all realize the importance of being vaccinated and are vaccinated. Two counties in our State did not have a single death from typhoid last year. We ought not to have any either, and I feel sure that with the aid of the land owners we can reach this goal. Dr. Hargrove kindly vaccinated 31 for us the other day cn Mr. Her- ring's, place. I have plenty of the lipo-typhoid vaccine on hand and will gladly furnish same to any of the local physicians and would appreci ate thoir cooperation in this matter, as I cannot oo strongly urge that everyor.e in the city and country be vaccinated. ir , "I ' v' M - Augments Appropriation From , Board of County Commissioners INTEREST IM SANITATION City Administration to En- $6re Ordinances May or Names Committees Aid for Health Bureau in Rest House Matter Chatrman Ernest V.
