The reports from Weeping Water
state that County Agent L. R. Snipes,
who has been under the weather for
the past ten days is still quite poor
ly and is kept on a very severe diet
by his physician. He has been
suffering from stomach trouble and
the fact that he has lived on a milk
diet for the past two weeks has
made him decidely weak and feeling
badly. It is roped that the course
of treatment will prove effffective
and the genial county agent will
soon be able to be around and back
on the job as usual. Air. Snipes
has, since taking over this office,
been constantly on the go and has
made all parts of the county- in the
interest of the extension work and
his absence has been noted by the
many friends over the county during
the past two weeks and it is with
the greatest of regret that they have
learned of his illness.

MAD DOG SCARE IN THE
SOUTH PART OF CITY
From Saturday's Daily
The residents of the south part of
the city have been greatly stirred in
the last few days over a mad dog
scare that has caused all the suspic
ious looking dogs to be shot on sight
for fear that they might develop a
case of the rabbies.
It was reported that one of the
(dogs in that locality was showing
mrications of frothing at the mouth
and having the dull movements that
indicate the apprcach of the rabbies
and this dog was shot as well as
others with which it had been as
sociating. This is not dog day season, but ap
parently the animal had in some
manner contracted the rabbies and
to be on 'the safe side a wholesale
slaughter of the dogs, in the neigh-
i borhood was commenced. So far as
can be learned there was no person
or animal bitten by the dog.
