We understand that several farmers in the eastern edge of the county and in Knox and Ante lope have lost a large number of hogs from this dreaded disease. Local relatives of William Froelich received word last Saturday that he had been appointed first assistant to the new United States Attorney at Chicago, with a nice increase in sal ary. The former U. S. Attorney there has been appointed United States Dis trict Judge and Dwight Green, who was one of the assistants in District Attorney’s office, has been named as United States Attorney, and he se lected Mr. Froelich as his first assist ant. This is a splendid advance und O'Neill friends tender Mr. Froelich their congratulations. PROPER DISPOSAL OF DISEASED ANIMAL CARCASSES Destruction of the carcases of an imals is best accomplished by a simple method of burning which is very ef fective. In so far as possible, the carcasses of animals affected with highly communicable diseases, partic ularly Anthrax, should be destroyed without delay at the point where death occurred to prevent spread of the in fection over a greater area by drag ging the carcasses to new locations Circumstances may necessitate move ment of carcasses on account of the close proximity of buildings or othei inflammable material, in which event the carcasses should be placed on f stone boat or similar vehicle atop t bed of straw or manure. On reaching the point where burning is to take place the carcass, together with tht material, should be deposited. Sat urate the animal with crank case oil kerosene or any inflammable oil. II straw is available, a full rack load shouldd be thrown over the carcass Nevt add at least two loads of heavy manure, which must be added to from time to time as fire breaks through, Where straw is not available, the man ure may be placed directly on the oil saturated carcass and oil soaked wood or cobs placed on the. ground close to the animal to start the burning pro cess. W'here this method is properly followed, carcasses will be completely consumed. The depositing of carcasses or parts of carcasses in creek beds, rivers, ravines or leaving them undisposed of is an unlawful act. Sec. 3, Article VIII, Chapter 12, Laws of Nebraska 1927. Disposal of carcasses by burying should be done only as a last resort where burning cannot be accomplished If buried, the portion of the carcass nearest the surface should be at leasl four feet underground and coverec with quick lime if possible.

He was given medical attention and when he came to in formed his auditors that he had noth ing to eat since Monday and that it was on account of the absence of food that he fainted. Local authorities fed him at a local hotel and gave him an opportunity to regain his strength. He told a rather fanciful story to ac count for his condition. He said that he would be twenty years old next December—although he looks to be much older—and that he was the heir to an estate of $20,000.00 which he would get posessionof when he reached his majority. He said that an attorney in Detroit was looking after the es tate and he gave enquirers his name and address. Telegrams to this party at the Detroit address brought back the information that there was no such man there, nor was any such man known to the rental agents of the building. So it begins to look as if this wanderer had dreams of wealth without having any foundation to base the dreams upon. Methodist Church Notes Benj. Kuhler, Pastor Sunday School 10:00 A. M. Better keep your children under the influence of Bible teaching. Morning worship 11:00 A. M. Sermn Theme, “What Are They Doing in Heaven?” There will be no evening services next Sunday. The Young folks will go to Inman to contribute to the pro gram given there. We understand there will be services at the Presby terian church where any who wish to attend services may go. A good congregation greeted the young preacher last Sunday evening and were quite favorably impressed with the sermon, judging from com ments. Then: were two dozen at League, although it is the vacation season. If all were as responsive and active as some of these much con demed young folks, our church would be very much alive indeed. Last Friday evening a truck load and two car loads took a trip around the world. The last stop was out at the home of the Renner girls. When we got to Opportunity we had to go nearly round the world to make the balance of the journey, on account of washouts. The two Renner girls were baptized Sunday afternoon in the Elkhorn ( river. We still have Prayer and Bible study services Thursday evenings. * j Over the County i EASTERN HOLT i The heavy showers of rain were c very beneficial to the corn crop.
