EXTRA HELP TO DISTRIBUTE VICTORY MEDALS The distribution of Victory Medals which has been going on for the last two months at the Recruiting District Headquarters, at Greensboro, N. C. is now well under way and information re ceived from the Recruiting Of ficer, Capt. Walter R. Cox, states that a thousand medals have now been distributed in this State. The applications came in slowly at first but after the first medals began to , arrive the interest of the ex-soldicrs was aroused and now everyone wants one. Three Army Field Clerks are stationed at these Headquarters to take in applications which have increased to such a number that four more have been asked for from Washington and are now on their way to help the overworked force. Applications have been handled at the rate of seventy-five a day and with the increased force they expect to turn out two hundred or more every day. Every soldier who served during the emergency, April 6, 1917 to November 11, 1918, will receive a medal and if he went overseas and was in any of the battlea over there his service will be recognized by additional bat tle clasps attached to the ribbon of the medal. As much as four teen clasps have been received by one soldier and in North Carolina which is the home of the 30th Division, many of the boys who saw service in the Great Conflict have received five and six battle clasps. There is no red tape attached to the application for the Victory Medal, the soldier simply sends in his cischarge to the Greens boro Station and a form Is sent him far signature, when this is done his application is then sent to the Supply Officer at Philadel phia for the issue of the medal, the whole procedure taking from seven to fifteen days.

HOG CHOLERA BEING HARD FOUGHT Six years ago the Federal De partment of Agriculture inau gurated the co-operative hog cholera control work in North Carolina, the work being con ducted through the office of the State Veterinarian and the Ex tension Service. For years the nature of the work was largely educational, but for the last year or so it has been, to a great ex tent, of a regulatory nature, the efforts being devoted towards securing good serum adminis trators in the infected districts, and supervising the work of these scrum administrators. Dr. F. D. Owen, U. S. inspec tor in charge of co-operative hog cholera control work has just is sued his annual report covering the year from July, 1910, to June, 1920, inclusive, and the figures show conclusively the great value of the work. According to this report there have been four Federal and two State veterinary inspectors un der the supervision of Dr. Owen for the past year. These men delivered 87 addresses on the subject of hog cholera control, the attendance being 4,384. Demonstrations in the techni que of serum administrations were held in 1,890 herds of swine, in which 28,520 animals were rendered immune against cholera a total of 7,395 men were present to observe the methods employed in this work, PERSONAL VISITS The several inspectors person ally visited 3,359 farms for the purpose of giving advice and as sistance to the owners in prob lems relating to swine husband ry; the, also had personal inter view's with 11,843 farmers and others interested in the develop ment of the swine industry, during which the foremost thought was always disease con trol. A total of 678 special inves tigations were made on farms where trouble had been reported or the conditions were abnormal. As an aid to diagnosis in obscure cases a total of 253 autopsies were made. Diagnosis of disease is one of the principal duties of these specialists and at different times nine different diagnoses or conditions were observed, in 228 different herds: of these 22S diagnoses hog cholera was found in 208, thus Illustrating the view of the Federal Department that hog cholera is still the most dreaded of all animal diseases, and the most prevalent one af fecting swine. To assist the farmer of North Carolina, and make available to all the methods of perum protec tion, these government men trained 108 local men in the methods and technique of serum administration, thus rendering it possible for all farmers in these communities to secure as sistance quickly.. QUAKANTINfci ANt) CLEAN UP In some instances where the disease seemed likely to spread to adjoining farms it was deemed advjsiable to quarantine the in fected prejnises, this being done on 178 fHrtTiH. TIiki-v quarantin ed farms subsequently being cleaned and disinfected under the supervision of the govern ment men, to preyapt a recur ranee of the disease. In addition o the herds and hogs Inoculated a demonstra tions by the government em ployees the office of State Ver terinarian shipped a total of 4, 702,700 Cubic centimeters of antf-hpg phHler& surqm to the various serum administrators over the state, this being suffi cient to impninize about 118,000 hogs against hog cholera. This serum is supplied to the farmer? end others at cost, by the State Veterinarian, Dr, Wm. Moore. To prosecute the-above work the federal and state inspectors traveled a total of 58,792 miles during the year. WITH THE CHURCHES All Saints Church ' t piscopal) Rev. Lewis N.
