H. C. Tyrrell, chairman of the great-

nounces that two other oil companies
have already signified their willing-
ness to subscribe generously to this
purpose.
The building to house the school is
now under construction. Funds tor the

Is Bml Vet Passing!
But there la another reason why
•very live stock raiser should support
the veterinarian—the fact that with-
out such support the veterlnarinan Is
going to disappear from our rural
communities, leavin gAmerica's live-
stock at the mercy of disease. For,
largely because of decreasing practice,
the veterinary profession is steadily
decreasing in numbers.
What this might mean la seen in
Russia today where teh veterinary
profession has practically ceased to
exist. Glanders, a disease of horses
which was once widely prevalent in
America has gained such a foothold tn
Russia that it has become a national
menace. According to Russian publi-
cations, the disease has even invaded
human families, causing the death of
men. women, and children.

if a farmer gels his stock into dlt

narian but what will hapeu when to

farmer finds no practlciner awaiting
his call?
Support the Veterinarian
If protection is to be continued in
the future the veterinary professloi
must be made more attractive to th<
young men of the country. It is goim
to be necessary to convince young mei
that steady lucrative employment now
awaits them If they are to spend the
long and arduous years of training
necessary to prepare for this exacting
profession.
Many leading agriculturists are al-
ready using veterinary service in its
broadest sense. They call in the vet-
erinarian when disease Is detected.
They profit by his advice, not only in
matters of disease prevention, but on
breeding, housing and feeding
lems.

A CHILD’S LAUGHTER
Dy A lye mon Charles Swinburne
All the belts of heaven may ring,
All the birds of heaven may sing,
All the wells on earth may spring,
Ail the winds on earth may bring
All sweet sounds together;
Sweeter far than all things heard,
Hand of harper, tone of bird,
Sounds of woods at sundawn stirred,
Welling water's winsome word,
Wind in warm, wan weather.
One thing yet tlvre is, that none,
Hearing ere it- chime be done,
Knows not well the sweetest one
Heard of man beneath the sun,
Hoped in heavtn hereafter;
Soft and str ug and loud and light,
Very sound of very light.
Heard from morning's rosiest height,
When the soul of all delight,
Fills a child's clear laughter.
Gohlen bells of welcome rolled
Never forth such note, nor told
Hours so blithe in tones so bold,
As the radiant mouth of gold
Here that rings forth heaven.
If the golden-crested wren
Were a nightingale—why, then
Something seen and heard of men
Might be half as sweet as when
Laughs a child of seven.

If you go into second gear soon
enough, you will seldom have to re-
sort to low to make a steep hill.
If the starter on your car is not
reliable, try to park on a grade.
You can then start the car by letting
it roll in high.
If your engine is laboring on a
hill, it doesn’t do any good to pull
out the choke. Shift to a lower
gear.
When you buy valve caps, get the

use the straight ones. There are

according to Dr. S. A. Waters of the not enough veterinary practitioners.
U< S. Government Bureau of Animal
Industry, who called at the Oklahoma i
State Register office this week and I
spoke of the losses being suffered by 1
county stockin' n because they are not i
taking full advantages offered by ex-
pert veterinary service.
Logan county dairymen arc well
served by Di. William F. Lewis, coun-
ty dairy inspector mid local resident,
who makes inspections at regular in-
tervals but Waters pointed out that
the dairymen have not learned the full
extent of the value of further expert
veterinary assistance which Dr. Lewis
could give which would save them also
great deal of money and would also
insure better health for county herds
and the users of milk from the herds.
Dr. Waters, who has worked out of
Guthrie for the pest four years re-
leased the following report on the sub-
ject:
American live stock farmers suffer
an average annual loss of >250,000,000
which is easily and economically pre-
ventable. These millions of lost dol-
lars should be caved to line your pock-
ets. not to be paid for a preventable
waste that helps no one.
Active end Intelligent use of the vet-
erinary profeeeion Is the farmers most
effective weapon for controlling live
atock diseases. This does not mean
that every farmer should retain a vet-
erinary by the year; It means that
every live stock producer should ef-
fect a common-sense alliance with a
competent veterinarian.
Time attar time live stock raisers
have lost in a tingle season more mon-
ey than it would have cost them to en-
gage a competent veterinary service
over a long period of years. A Hamp-
shire breeder lost >5000 In a single
season as a result of permitting a man
who was not a veterinarian to vacci-
nate hie hogs. Competent veterinary
service would have given fit is breeder
a better herd at the end of that period
instead of one practically wiped out
by dieeases. Attempts of amateurs to
diagnose and treat live stock diseases
can easily result in expense far great-
er than the coet of competent veteri-
nary service.

In Russia the decline of tho veteri-
nary profession was due to a mistaken
government policy. In America a de.
crease no less certain is being caused
by Indifference and ignorance of the
true situation. In 1920 there were 13,
494 veterinarians in this country To-
day the number is less than 11,500. a
decrease of approximately 2.000. In
1918, the veterinary colleges of the
country graduated 867 students. By
1927 the number had shrunk to 118. In
43JR and 1929 there were but few grad-
uates.
That group of US veterinarians is ■
barely enough to fill vacancies in the (
Federal Bureau c. ------ ,
This Bureau employs something !.kc '
1.400 veterinarians approx! m:’'O ln
per cent of whom sever their connec-
tions with the Bureau each year due
t0 death or retirement. With about 140
new positions open to veterinarians of
our government work each year, It is
plain to see that fe wof the 118 grad-
uates of our veterinary schools are go-
ing to seek a precarious livelihood in
a community where live stock owners
attempt to treat their own animals
when the government offers employ-
ment and regular Income. Practically
no new veterinarians are being added
to the rapidly diminished army of pro-
fessional men now holding America's
first line of defense against the spread
of animal disease.

Virginia City Is a queer old relic
