RUSSIA GETTING SUPPLIES. Amazing Amount Pouring Into Vla divostok. From All Parts of the World War Material of All Kinds is Pouring Into This Port, Whence They Are Distributed Where Needed. All Available Places Are Congested With the Arrivals. Vladivostok, June 25.—Twenty thousand American freight cars and 400 American locomotives are due here from the United States withi.i the next two months to relieve the congestion of supplies destined for the Russian armies at the front. The army corps on the German-Austrian battle line needs guns, rifles and am munition; Vladivostok will supply them. They need armored cars, many hundreds of them, and Vladivostok will give them these. They need dy namite; they need pig lead and pig copper; they need cotton to be made into clothing; they need food—and Vladivostok hopes to see to it that they get it all. The puns and rifles and ammuni tion are arriving from Japan and the United States by the steamer load. The armored motor cars are coming by the hundreds from the United States. They are beinp made at De troit and Cleveland and other points and they are cominp out here mostly by way of Seattle on vessels which sail direct to Vladivostok. So also is the lead, copper and dynamite. As for the cotton—it is cominp out from New York via Panama in such vast quantities that more than anything else it has caused this terrific con pestion of supplies which has forced Russia to place rush orders for loco motives and cars to pet them off to the front. It is piled hiph on the hills back of the city watinp for its turn to be forwarded to Moscow and other cities to be manufactured into blankets and uniforms for the sol diers. From Great Britain have come puns for the navy. They arrive by steamer and then are shipped by railroad to the Black Sea to be mounted on the warships Russia is buildinp. From France hus come ammunition. From the United State have come several nine-inch puns—also to find their place on Russian warships in the Black Sea. And above all, is cominp barbed wire from America an amaz inp quantity of it, to protect the trenches of the Russian armies. Ships brinpinp these vast supplies are arriving in such number and with such rapidity that they cannot be accommodated at the docks. A plan of permanent enlargement of the port has been temporarily put aside in favor of provisional enlargement. Huge pangs of men are buildinp pon toon piers and makeshift, docks. Ves sels unable to squeeze into piers are trans-shipping their cargoes to light ers, but a shortage of lighters has retarded even that means of discharg ing. So the Russians are buildinp more lighters. Vladivostok, they believe, is to save the day for the Russian armies, and every possible human effort is made to forward these precious sup plies to their destination at the front. The feverish activity at the water front is duplicated elsewhere in this great port which, while peaceful in itself, is the very incarnation of war. Every month new armies are sent away to the west. For MX) miles to the north of the Fortress of Vladivos tok proper extends a series of forti fied places. All these when not used as prisons for German prisoners of war, serve as drill grounds for Rus sian recruits. The reservists come in from all points in the eastern part of the Empire and within six months are turned ito soldiers. Then they are hurried off across Siberia.—Cor respondence Associated Press. Conquering Typhoid. Chicago Journal. The number of British troops sent to France since the war be .''an is not exactly known, but it can hardly be less than 500,000. Vast numbers of Belgiar and French fugitives passed across the war zone, and some of, there had typhoid fever. The condi- j tior.f seemed ideal for a terrible epi demic, yet in the first 10 months of the war there were only 82? cases, and of these 128 died. The secret of this immunity is in oculation with antityphoid serum. A heavy majority of the British troops sent to France were inoculated, and these furnished only 308 cases and 22 aeaths. The remainder—more than half the sickness and five-sixths of the deaths resulting from this disease came from the uninoculated minority. The American Army shows an even better record for antityphoid serum, though, to be sure, our tests were made under more favorable condi tions. Doubtless the French and German armies have done as well. The spectacle of typhoid being con quered in the west while those more primitive plagues, cholera and typhus fever, still prevail in Servia and parts of Austria is a convincing proof of the value of modern sanitation. Combating An Outbreak of Hog Cholera. The farmers in the vicinity of j Beardsley, Minn., experienced the rav- j ages of hog cholera for the first time i in the fall of 1913. Almost spontane- 1 ously the disease occurred on several farms in the locality so as to endan ger every herd of hogs in the com munity. The farmers not being fa miliar with the disease made the dan ger of spreading much greater. For a time the pork industry seemed doomed to destruction. At the time of the outbreak it was difficult to secure serum. Through the efforts of C. H. Schopmeyer, Ag ricultural Director in the local High School, arrangements were made with two reliable commercial serum companies for a supply of as much serum as was needed. Mr. Schopmey er organized and conducted a real campaign against hog cholera. The local banks and business men rallied to the emergency. The banks advanced the money to pay for the serum as it was shipped in. The business men signed a guarantee to protect the nanKH irom any iv»» tii«b uurui w cur. In case of loss in having serum left on hands the banks were to share equally with the business men. Col lections were made from the farmers as the serum was used on their hogs. No serum was left on hands and no loss in money incurred. A serum depot was maintained from which farmers could secure se rum without delay. All precautions possible were taken to get potent se rum. At the outset, veterinary ser vice was inadequate, so the agricul tural director was compelled to ad minister a large part of the serum. Later the services of a field veterin arian of the State Live Stock Sanita ry Board and a graduate veterina rian were secured. The epidemic appeared suddenly and unexpectedly and there were no previous preparations for combating the trouble, but in less than four weeks a complete check of the dis ease was brought about. As most of tiie herds of the community were in danger of being exposed to infection a general treatment of the herds was given. The serum virus treatment was given to all uninfected herds. In the fall of 1913, 2910 hogs in well herds were vaccinated by the double method with a loss of only three hogs. Nineteen infected herds were treat ed with a saving of 57.56 per cent. In 1914 preparation was made ear ly in the summer to combat the epi demic of cholera in case it occurred again in the community. The plan for handling the situation was practical ly the same as that of the previous year. The first infected herd was found in August. Sanitary measures were enforced and a proper dispose tion was made of dead hogs. The in fected herds were vaccinated and those dangerously exposed were treated by the double method. In 1914 1824 hogs were treated in well herds with a loss of 2.5 per cent. Five infected herds were treated with a saving of 66.16 per cent. A general spread of the disease was prevented. Several thousand dollars worth of hogs were saved by this efficient and effective campaign against the great est hindrance to the hog growing in dustry. The work in the control at Beardsley, Minn., shows what may be accomplished by persistent effort.— Indiana Farmer. CHILD KILLED; THREE HURT. i Children Were on Wagon Loaded With Shingle Blocks. Blocks Slipped Off. Lenoir, July 20. One of the most distressing accidents that has ever happened here occurred this after noon in the western part of town near the Lenoir Veneer Mill, when one child was killed instantly, and three others were more or less seriously in jured by being thrown from a wagon loaded with shingle blocks. The chil dren all belonged to S. Wynn Hayes who lives near the scene of the ac cident. It seems that the team had been left in the hands of Mr. Hayes’ 14-year-old son to drive down a very steep hill, and thence along out to the public road, while the father took a near cut across to the road. While passing down the steep hill the blocks slipped off in front of the wagon, car rying the children with them. One of the children, a little boy four years old, was crushed to death by the, blocks, while another suffered a brok en leg and other injuries about the head and arm. Another one of the children was believed to have been fa tally injured internally, but reports tonight state that she is still living and will likely recover. The fourth one escaped with slight injuries. The three injured ones were carried to the local hospital for treatment.—Char lotte Observer. Lawyer—“So you went out ard waited for some time on the pave ment Now, did you strtke the witness in the interim?” Defendant—“No, I didn’t. I pasted him in the jaw.”— Chicago Herald. DANIELS NOT TO NAME BOARD I Will Let Scientific Societies Decide op the Members. Eight Different Bodies Are Asked to Act. Washington. July 19.—Sixteen American scientists to form with Thomas A. Edison as chairman, the advisory board for the proposed bu reau of invention in the Navy Depart ment, will be selected by leading sci entitle societies of the country. Sec retary Daniels has written to the presidents of eight societies asking that two members be selected by each organization to become members of the board. -»-*'■* i— ■ Following are the societies ad dressed: Americas Chemical Society, president, Charles H. Herty, Chapel Hill, N. C.; American Institute of Engineers, president, Paul M. Lin coln, Pittsburgh; American Institute of Mining Engineers, president, Ben jamin B. Thayer, New York city; American Mathematical Society, pres ident, E. W. Brown, Yale University; American Society of Civil Engineers, president, Hunter MacDonald, Nash ville, Tenn.; American Society of Me chanical Engineers, president, James Hartness, Springfield, Vt.; American Aeronautical Society, acting president, Frederick W. Barker, New York city; Inventors’ Guild, president, Edward Weston, Newark, N. J. Mr. Daniels explained that the se lection of the eight societies did not exclude other organizations of the same character which it might be found advisable to call upon later, as there is no final limitation on the membership of the committee. He said that societies of marine engi neers, in many cases composed large ly of present and former Navy offi cers, had not been included for the reason that Navy officers would con stitute the new bureau within the de partment which the committee would aid. Are Your Farm Implements Under Shelter? The breaking plows, the har rows, the planters and many other implements used about the farm have largely finished their work for this season, and one of the most useful economy measures that can be put into practice right now is to see that they are perfectly housed and cared for. Attention to such matters marks the good farmer, and inatten tion to them shows a carelessness that is sure to be reflected tn a run-down farm and decreased profits. Depreciation is the biggest expense connected with nearly all farm imple ments, and the wise farmer will see that it is held down to a miimum. We have known farmers who have us ed grain binders ten or a dozen years and that are still in good condition; on the other hand, we have seen oth er farmers buy a machine almost iden tically the same and put it on the junk heap in three years’ time. In the first instance the machine was care fully handled while in the field, and as soon a*; its work was done it was carefully cleaned up and overhauled, all broken parts repaired, and care fully housed in a dry ned. In the second case the farmer’s binder went to pieces because lost or broken parts we e never attended to and because its | only shelter from June till June again was a spreading oak in front of the house. Nor is Jhis all. We have seen high I priced threshing machines, mowers and va' es, breaking plows, in fact, ev ery kind of implement used about the f irm, lying out. season after season, with apparent’y never a thought given to the hard dollars they cost. Look to these things, Brother Farmer, and look to them now. It’s a dollars-and cents, bread and-meat proposition.— Progressive Farmer. One of the nation’s biggest mail order houses did a gross business of over $7,550,000 in June. The half year total of $53,000 000 suggests Ameri can prosperity. EMIT NEWS ITEMS.
