THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. c CAMPAIGN TO CONTROL SWINE'S WORST ENEMY HAS REDUCED DANGER OF CHOLERA oivomy mm ANGELES AND VILLA UNITE FORCES ThfAN- " a 'jMSL mm ,Ksm arm wi A Few Hints for Laundering. Using an old sheet double It ns many times ns It will cover the board. This will make four or flve thick nesses, which nro laid sraoothly and tacked on the bonrd nil at once. When the top layer becomes soiled, It Is cut off and there Is the bonrd with n clean cover. Whon covering the Ironing-board with n blanket or padding, tnck It iilong the edges only, so that both sides und the ends are smoothly cov ered. Then make an unbleached Iron ing sheet the size of board, with large end left open to slip on like a pillow case. If well fitted, both sides of the board can he used; It wilt look neat and there will be no pins or nails to tear hands or clothing. A Handy Iron Cleaner. A very practical little contrlvanco for use when Ironing consists of n block of wood-about Ave Inches square. Five holes are "bored In this block nud filled with beeswax. These nre cover ed with a piece of muslin. The other side of the block Is covered with emery-cloth. The emery side of the block is used to rub the Iron on If the starch sticks and the wax side gives the Iron smoothness. Old flat-Irons become rusty, but n My Lady in It looks ns If the time were not far away when women will discuss "uri dersllks" Instead of "undermusllns," for silk has Invaded the realm of cot ton nnd Is flourishing there astonish ingly. Just ns the silk stocking Is not looked upon now ns a luxury but as a necessity of good dressing, and Us use enormously increased, so silk under garments are making place for them selves. Women And them deslruble be cause they nre line nnd they prove to bo as dainty nnd as durable as fine batiste or other delicately woven cot tons. And the sheen nnd "feel" of silk nre Insidious It Is the easiest thing in the world to cultivate tho silk habit nnd next to Impossible to brenk It. The shops are showing silk under " clothes that are moderately priced nlong with more silk undergnrments that nre high priced. Hut price means nothing to the girl of today If she has It to buy the thing she wants when she wnnts It. There is a popular nnd a growing demand for silk un dergnrments which means thut the wanted garments will be supplied in Increasing numbers nnd that the prices will not bo likely to go higher. The' silk most used for undergar ments Is crepe de chine In white and flesh pink. For ornament, hemstitch ing, French knots, simple embroidery ami vnl or filet lace, especially In In sertions, nre nil equally popular. Other wash silks, Including taffetn, and wash satins And advocates who like them ns well as crepe de chine. They all wnsh easily, tho crepe looking espe cially well after It Is tubbed. They should be wrung with wringer, not twisted In tho bund", folded In a sheet and Ironed while still a little damp with an iron that is only moderately hot. An undersllp of plain whlto taffeta appears in the picture, this particular omer coat of aluminum enamel paint makes them neat and clean. No moro flakes of rust or smudgo to drop off on whlto garments when Ironing. They can bo washed nnd the heat docs not affect the enamel, as It is tho kind used on radiators. One coat Is sulllclcnt; and n small can will do for coating a num ber of Irons. Useful Ironing Blanket. Mnko an Ironing blanket for em broidered articles nnd laces from a square of white outing flannel, and one of Turkish toweling, neatly bound to gether. The Turkish side Is used for faces nnd Insertions, ns the loose threads In ironing are forced up through the lace, while the other sldo is used for embroideries. For Cleaning and Polishing Irons. Saturate a cloth with water, wring partially dry, rubbing soap thorough ly on It. Place on several thicknesses of paper. Hub irou over it several times, pressing hard, to remove starch and roughness. The result is surpris ing, as It makes the surfaco of iron perfectly clean and smooth. This Is the best and most economi cal wny of cleaning irons, doing away with tho use of ironing wax or any, cleanser' for Irons. Silk Attire model having n bnby bodice and gath ered skirt set on to a waist band. Many undersllps are cut like a chemise, without a waistband. Tho most popular isllk garment Is the en velope chemise of crepe de chine. It Is worn over the corset nnd without bloomers or drawers In warm weather. But there Is a final chapter to tho story of silk underwear, short and sweet nnd not ever destined to be so Importnnt ns that which Is told In tho foregoing paragraphs. It Is written In georgette crepe. This very dlapTmnbus nnd exquisite muterlnl makes corset covers und chemise that nre tho lust word In dnlntlness and extravagance, for It Is sometimes used double, being otherwise too transparent. Jade In Millinery. Jade green Is one of the new shades that Is catching on well In the local millinery trade. Not only Is It seen In vnrlous types of hats, Including models In taffeta nnd split straw, but It is also taking well in the trimmings. Jade ostrich plumes are shown In steadily Increasing numbers, nnd nro used to trim models both of a similar shade and of black. A popular use is plumes laid flat on the upper brim. Inexpensive Dye. Take tho skins of dried onions and boll them; strain the Juice, then put In mnterlnl you wish to dye and boll tho desired color, either a light or darker tan. Just lino to color whlto stockings a pretty shado of tan or cream, nnd nlso fine for coloring ecru curtnlns thut have been washed quite often, and also silk waists. This la very satisfactory for silk, but not so good for cotton, He was arrested and sentenced to denth by nuertn. nuerta pardoned him and sent him to Paris "to continue his studies." Angeles returned to Mexico through the UnKcd Slntes, with tho asslstnnco of Amcrlcnn officials, who wero supporting tho "constitutionalist revolution" conducted by Carranza and Villa. Angeles was Immediately made chief of artillery under Vllln, and the success of the Carranza revolution wus due in great part to the work of Angeles. lie lias been consistent, It Is said, nnd Is fighting now for tho same prin ciples ho fought for nt tho start the restoration of the constitution of 1857. FLYNN TO RUN DOWN ANARCHISTS William J. Flynn, former chief of the secret service of tho treasury de partment, whose portrait is given here with, is likely to be n busy man for some time. lie has been given tho Job of running down tho conspirators responsible for the bomb outrages. IIo has been mudo chief of tho division of Investigation of tho department of Jus tice. All Investigating agencies of tho federal government will be used In nn endeavor to enpture tho organized group of anarchists who have under taken a cumpnlgn of assassination nnd terrorism. Congress Is likely to ennct drastic legislation' dealing with the situation. Senator Overman of North Carolina, Chairman of the senate propaganda committee, took steps to draft n report of the Investlgntlon It made last winter into the activities of the anarchist or ganization in the United States, nnd probnbly will recommend n program of leglslntlon to strengthen tho power of the department of justice. Senator King of Utah announced that ho would push a bill making It a capital offense, to transport a bomb In ,lnterstnto commerce. - . He prepared another measure making It a criminal offense to belong to any society advocating the overthrow of the government. Measures wero begun for tho deportation of anarchists. PALMER UNDER Senator Calder of New York asking for tho complete ray roll of the ullen properly custodian's office, showing all the amounts puld to nttorneys and employees. Then came the bomb explosions in vnrlous parts of the country, one of which partly wrecked Mr. Palmer's own residence In Wnshlngton. As attor ney general he will have general charge of the proceedings of tho department of Justice iu connection with these outrages. COL JOSEPH B. SANBORN: WAR HERO When all of Chicago and a good part of Illinois cheered Col. Joseph B. Sanborn the other day as he marched up Michigan avenue at tho head of tl' One Ilundred nnd Thirty-first Infantry of the Thirty-third division or the old "Dandy First," I. N. O. they paid de served tribute to one of the most heroic figures of tho war. For the "old man," as his men nffectlonntiiy call him, Is sixty-three yenrs of age nnd he was rounding out 40 years of Natlonnl Gunrd service. It Is an open secret thnt ho was offered the com mand of nn Infantry brigade "over there" but declined tho honor to stay with "his boys." The Dandy First fought with the British at Chlpllly ridge, and when tho British ofllcers saw Colonel Sanborn go over the top at tho head of his men and establish his headquarters In a Hhell hole they wanted to know "who is thnt crazy old fool of nn American colonel? which was, of course, their way of expressing ndmlratlon. Colonel Sanborn plans to retire. But before ho doffs tho silver eagles and khaki forever, he intends to reorganize the Dundy First. No American division did better work than the Pralrlo division. No regiment did better work than the Dandy First. No officer did better work than Colonel Sanborn. Gen. Felipe Angeles has been pro claimed provisional president of Mex ico by Vllllstns, who havo nlso named Villa himself ns secretary of war. A seat of government hns been estab lished nt Tamil. All of which, If true, indicates that the rebels in opposition to Cnrrnnzn hnvc got together nnd that tho situation looks bad for tho do facto head of Mexico. Villa, of course, Is nn outlaw nnd n bandit, but Angeles Is another kind of man. Angeles Is about forty-flvo years old nnd Is a full-blood Indian, ns wcro Porflrlo Dlnr, and Huertn. IIo Is a graduate of Chapultepcc Military academy, "tho West Point of Mexico," and of tho St. Cyr Artillery school in France. IIo was head of Chapultepcc under Mndcro. When tho coup d'etat came nnd Madcro was imprisoned nnd Uuertn declared himself president, An geles refused to come in with his army. 18k xfe W8&M&xA c w""" NwPttPr Union! 3 TWO LIMELIGHTS A. Mitchell Palmer Is likely to bo in tho limelight for soino time. Tho sennte judlcinry committee recently held up his nomlnntlon to be attorney gcnernl ujjtll an investigation had been made of his ndmlnlstrntlon of the nllen property custodian's office. A flubcommlttoo of Senators Dllllnghnm, Sterling nnd Fall, Republicans, nnd Overman and Walsh, Democrats, was appointed to conduct the Investigation. Tho determination to Inquire Into tho fitness of Mr. Pulmer to occupy tho nttorncy general's ofllce shatters another time-honored precedent of tho senate. Occasions hnvo been rare upon which there has been even tho slight est question mado of any selection mnde by the president for his own cabinet. As n rulo every name sent to tho senate for n cabinet position la confirmed without delay. The senate nt tho last session adopted n resolution Introduced by Thorough Disinfection of Houses and Feeding Lots Goes a Long Way To ward Preventing the 8pread of Hog Cholera -Tho County Agent Is Demonstrating a Clean-Up to Formers. (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Never was It so importnnt for farm ers to keep their hogs safe from their worst enemy cholera as It Is this year, say specialists of tho bureau of animal Industry of tho United States department of agriculture. While tho number of hogs lost through disease decrenscd from 4.5 per cent of tho to tal In 1017 to 3.7 per cent In 1018, the vnluo of tho hpgs actually increased. A 200-pound hog thnt was worth $20 in January, 1017, was worth $30 In January, 1018. Today n slmllnr hog would sell nt $42. In 1013, tho year tho work to control hog cholera wns begun by tho government, n 200 poundcr was worth $10.00. So It Is evident thnt each succeeding your makes it moro worth tho farmer's while to tako every precaution to pro vent loss from dlscnso in his swlno herd. Ono thing that made It possible for America to supply tho allies with meat was tho fact that within the last few years tho stnto nnd federal authorities and thoso working with them have learned n good deal about handling hog cholera. If tho old bug bear of tho swlno Industry had been permitted to put In such destructive blows in the last three or four years ns it did In 1013 and 1014 tliero would hnvo been many porklcss days. Tho fact that tho war Is over should lead no one to think that tho fight against hog cholera can bo slackened in tho least. Tho ultlmato object of tho United States department of ngrf culture Is absolute elimination of tho dlseaso from American farms, now- COMMUNITY SHIPPING PAYS SWINE RAISERS County Agent Helps Farmer to Get Better Prices for Hogs. By Co-operative Shipments 2 to 5 Cents More a Pound Was Secured- Each Man Paid His Share of Marketing Expense. (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) County ngents not only show farmers how to grow moro live stock nnd big ger crops, but show them how to get better prices. A field agent of tho states relation service of tho United States department of agriculture re ports thut tho county ngent of Faulk ncr county, Ark., helped tho farmers to Bejjfroin SMo 5 cents a pound moro for their hogi. Here Is tho county agent's plan which worked, ns outlined at a meet ing of the furmcrs and bunkers. It was agreed that tho bankers were to finance co-opcrutlvo live stock ship ments to a central market. This they gladly agreed to do. A Any was named for n shipment of hogs. Every farmer In the country wns notified by mall or telephone. On tho day set tho farmer, with 1 hog or 10, brought his porkers lntc town. Each farmer's hogs wero marked so thnt tliey could bo separat ed when they reached tho market. A man wns sent to market with tho carload of hogs. He had a record of tho markings and ownership of every hog aboard. Each farmer's hogs wcrj sold, separately and records kept. On settling up accounts ench farmer sim ply paid his share of tho marketing ex penses, which tho bankers had ad vanced, uccordlng to tho number of hogs he had shipped. Very few of tho farmers over had enough hogs ready for market at one time to mnko n cnrlond; hence they had previously sold to tho local buyer, who offered considerably less than tho central market prlco. By making up co-operative shipments the farmers netted 2 to 5 cents a pound more for their hogs. Faulkner county fanners have sold six carloads of hogs by tho co-operntlvo plan recently, nnd now the co-operative shipping association on a regulur und permanent basis Is well under way. over, complete eradication can hardly be expected until all farmers Join In the campaign. Enormous Losses From Cholera. In the fiscal year ending March 31, 1014, over 0,000,000 hogs of nil ages were lost through dlseaso on Ameri can farms, Thcso had a valuo of over $07,000,000. In tho year ending March 31, 1018, only 2,701,825 wcro lost; but theso wero worth $52,535,315. So, though the number of hogs lost has been greatly decreased by tho work of the disease-control agencies, tho mone tary loss is still enormous. This loss has a direct . bearing on tho cost of living and at times bus threatened tho safety of n great in dustry. There are nt present over 75, 000,000 hogs in this country tlio largest number ever recorded. Assum ing thnt thcso animals will bo mar keted nt on avcrngo weight of 200 pounds at tho avcrago market prlco for tho year, this crop will roturn to tho producers about $3,000,000,000. If hog cholera should rngo as it did in 1013, the loss would be near $300, 000,000. Complete Eradication Probable. Without tho efforts of federal and state agents In tho proper application of serum and Improved, methods of handling outbreaks of hog cholcru, this loss would bo entirely probable. With the support and co-operation of tho local authorities, farmers and others, tho complete eradication of hog chol era is within tho bounds of proba bilities, Tho saving of this enor mous nnnunl loss to tho farmer would bo reflected In tho retail prlco of pork to the consumer. HOG CHOLERA, DON'TS (Prepared by the United States De partment of Agriculture.) If cholera exists In your herd or your neighborhood 1. Don't visit your neighbor. 2. Don't let your dog run nt large. 3. Don't keep pigeons about. 4. Don't let your sick hogs get off tho farm. 5. Don't let your neighbors' hogs hang around your pens. 0. Don't let your hogs run to streams nor on hlghwnys. 7. Don't buy straw or refuse from n neighbor whoso hogs havo cholera. 8. Don't allow any carcass to remain unburled. 0. Don't borrow or Ion;! farm implements. Improper enro nnd neglect will causa even the purest bredhog to pass as a scrub, while proper care and kind treatment would cnuso tho same hog to bo profitable und also attractive. If clover Is not nvullablo for pas ture for young pigs rape provides un excellent substitute which will bo suit able for pasture within 50 or CO days after planting. Ordinary grass pasture, green rye, oats, sorghum, rapo, clover, alfalfu, peas or beans can tnko tho plnco of skim milk after tho pigs get a start A good brood sow Is worth much these days of high prices for bacon and lard. Savo enough gilts nnd sows to supply your farm with meat. Enrly fall Is-tho best time to start n flock of sheep. Good grade ewes and a pure-bred ram are best for begin ners. Sheep ralBlng does not require ex pensive equipment or heuvy lnbor, but does requlro s'.udy und continuous at tention. Tho best tfieep is tho typo that com bines the Ivgcst amounts of both wool und mi'ttoA. Live soci
