WASHINGTON’ D C Nov 10—
(Special) — Indictments against thei
receivers of the St Louis and San
Francisco railroad charging a vio-
lation of the federal cattle quaran
tine law was held valid by the su
preme court today
Whether receivers of railroads
could be punished for violations of
the federal cattle quarantine law
was the question before court The
case at Issue Involved the receivers
of the St Louis and San Francisco
R K system and concerned the ship-
ment of rattle from Hugo Choctaw
County Oklahoma to Kansas City
Mo The receivers were Indicted by
a federal grand Jury at Kansas City
Under a proclamation of the Sec-
retary of Agriculture Choctaw
county was placed within a quaran-
tined district The cause of the
quarantine was an outbreak of Tex-
as fever and the Government prose-
cutors proved that in the shipment
in question the cars should have
been placarded with the words of
southern cattle as well as the way
bills and manifests

failure to have this done They con-
tended that under the federal quar-
antine law they were not liable to
'punishment for Its violation as the
Act of Congress did not specify them
as one of the classes of persons who
could be held responsible

Indictments the federal court of the
eastern district of Missouri dismis-

TURKS AltE TOLD KAISER
TlItXED MOHAMMEDAN
(Secial j)ihNttch to State Sentinel
by the IntemHtional News Service)
LONDON Nov 30— Kaiser Wil-
liam has turned Mohammedan and
says his prayers with hia face turn-
ed toward Mocca every morning and
evening — this is Implicitly believed
by the Turkish soldiers now fighting
for the Tuetonlc cause They also
know — for their leaders have told
them os — (hat the Germans are Join-
ing the faith of the Prophet at the
rate of lOOUO a day The Crescent
is to fly In every great capital at
last!
These stories absurdities to the
Occ'dent are not hard for the Turks
to stomach They have always be-
lieved that Mohammedanism would
cover the earth — with a much more
Implicit faith than ninety per cent of
Christians believe Christ’s teachings
will some day be everywhere trium-
phant They themselves are fierce
warrior proselytes whom the Arabs
converted and who then outdid the
countrymen of Mohammed la battl-
ing for the Crescent so It Is easy for
them to be convinced the warlike
Germans are going through the same
process as did the Ottomans several
centuries ago
There Is just a grain of truth In
this Mohamniedaulzatlon of Germany
too Of the tens of thousands of
German schoolteachers engineers
soldiers and business men who have
come to Turkey In the last ten years
large numbers have learned the Tur-
kish language and learned It with
Tuetonlc thoroughness
And a great many have espoused
the faith of the Prophet Even men
who have come as missionaries are
among this number
There may be a few hypocrites
but most of these converts are sin-
cere Their addition to the hordes
of Mohammed have been made the
basis for the most absurd statements
In the speeohes of fanatic priests
According to refugees arriving here
from Turkish towns young softas or
clergymen are gathering about them
fanatical multitudes and addressing
them somewhat aa follows:
Sons of the noble conquerors of
the ancient Empire — descendants of
Sultans Selim and Suleiman I preach
to you a message from the only liv-
ing incarnate Vekil-ullah (God's
representative) Shetk-ullslam (su-
preme head of the Mohammedan
church)
Bold and faithful followers! I
bring you glad tidings: for four
months our noble religion has aug-
mented its children at the rate of
10000 daily Are they our ungrate-
ful Armenians No They never
will see tlie blessed light Are they
our sly Greeks who now become
Moslems? Again I snv no! Is it
Russian French English or Italian?
No no a thousand times no! Ala-
manlar Alamnlar Alanmnlar! (Ger-
mans Germans) They are the
great and noM? nation that has seen
the true light! They have drawn the
sword-yea that great nation that
knows how to lisp the sword in the
name of Allah!
The newly converted great war-
rior of nil Europe the mighty Czar
Wilhelm the Second has also be-
ccflie a holy Moslem convert!
It Is not hard to understand that
nfter such speeches as these There
Is wild enthusiasm for the war
among the unthinking and uninform-
ed and wild hatred of the Christians
In many plaees there have been mas-
sacres of Christians — Oriental not
European Christians In one place
I learn about seventy-five were mur-
dered A Muvrinlte priest (mem-
ber of a Roman Catholic order) was
captured by a mob and stabbed to
death when he steadfastly refused
to repeat the Moslem Creed
Of the ten thousand Germans who
speak Turkish many are now in the
ranks of the Mohammedan clergy I
learn from an authoritative source
that a German named Muller who
came to Turkey as a Lutheran mis-
sionary and was converted to Moh-
ammedanism led a fanatical Moslem
mob to a Roman Catholic Church
and would have had the prelate lyn-
ched but for the timely Interference
of a Moslem clergymen
Some time ago the German In-
structora of the Army of Aleppo is-
sued a general order commanding
the Christian population of the pro-
vince to surrender all the firearms
The Christian officers of this Mili-
tary Committee (Turks) refused to
comply with the order of the Prus-
sian officers or instructors on the
ground that they had sworn allegi-
ance to uphold the Ottoman Consti-
tution and that this was unconstitu-
lonal Five of these officers Arme-
nians Greeks and Syrians were
found guilty of high treason and put
to death forthwith The next day
an Arab Syrian regiment attacked
the headquarters of the Aleppo Ar-
my Division Staff and captured and
executed nine Germans and six Tur-
kish officers Six days after this
nine regiments of Anatolian troops
surrounded the barracks of the Arab
regiment and a few hours later every
Arab soldier was dead The Anatol-
ians believed they were destroying a
rebellious Christian regiment and
when they learned the truth there
was a fray among the officers and
five German Instructors were killed

Commissioner of Health)
If you will take the trouble to vis-
it the operating room of any hospital
you will be Impressed with the pains-
taking rare and precautions taken by
those In charge of the operating
room and the surgeon against the
chances of Infection You will not
be permitted to come in contact with
the patients unless you are clothed
with a sterllne operating gown And
neither will you be permitted to
touch anything to he used about the
patlqnt or place your hands near the
field of operation unless you have
been thoroughly prepared and your
hands are covered with rubber glov-
es Now all doctors visiting the op-
erating room know of these require-
ments and know why It is necessary
to comply with them yet many of
these doctors will go in and out of a
home where there is a case of Diph-
theria Scarlet Fever Measles or
some other contagious disease with-
out wearing a contagious disease
gown and cap which would protect
you and your home from the con-
tagion that they ran so easily carry
from one patient to another We
have never heard of a satisfactory
reason for this carelessness and In-
difference The public has a right to
demand that the doctors should give
them this protection and when they
do they will have convinced the
public of the necessity of their tak-
Ing slmlllar precautions or of re-
maining to themselves and not ex-
posing others
Why Not Be Vaccinated?
In all the war news that you have
read relating to the great European
conflict you have read no account
of Typhoid Fever nor Smallpox oc
curing as an epidemic with either of
the armies Has It occurred to you
to ask yourself why this Is one war
when Small-pox and Typhoid Fever
Is not proving more deadly than the
Instruments of war? The reason for
their absence in simple It Is be-
cause all soldiers have been vacci-
nated against Typhoid Fever and
against Small-pox they don’t have
Small-pox and Typhoid Fever Now
that we have this forcible example
of the benefits to be derived and the
protection afforded by vaccination
for Small-pox and Typhoid Fever
why not everyone be vaccinated
Why be a hundred years behind the
times and continue to quarantine
om all-pox and suffer from Typhoid
Fever?
Iook After Y’our Tlirout
Statistics show that In large cen-
ters of population as well as in small-
er ones disease and delinquency are
partners Investigation has shown
that In many cases of delinquency It
la caused by disease In early life
that Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria
have left their trace upon the men-
tality of their victims Surely these
are reasons why a slight sore throat
should be looked after immediately
Indifference May Cost Life
Neither contagious nor infectious
diseases should he trated with indif
fercnce no matter In how mild
form it may he prevailing The fact
that It hasn't caused a death or lias
seriously affected the physical effl
clency of anyone In your neighbor
hood at this time Is no guarantee
that the indifference that you manl
fest or that your neighbor shows to
the disease prevailing and your in
fluence is not harmful Tie greaeest
Injury that you do your neighbors or
that may affect you yourself from
these contagious and infectious di
seases Is caused by this Indlffer
ence and when you take Into con-
sideration that the effect of this In-
difference Is not confined solely to
your community that it may he and
frequently Is spread throughout oth-
er communities for this reason the
aggregate becomes greater If the
fathers and mothers throughout the
state could visit the deaf and dumb
school the school for blind and the
Institution for tbe feeble minded
there Is not a single one of them w ho
would In the future prove Indlffer
ent to any disease thet was contagi-
ous net matter how mild its form
might prove to be Measles whoop-
ing cough scarlet fever diphtheria
and trachoma are responsible for the
filling of these institutions with the
exception of where the cause Is due

can properly estimate the extent of
the evil caused by measles scarlet

MASON AM) DIXON LINK
WASHINGTON D C Nov 30—
(Special) — If you want to prove that
your friends do not know the history
of their own country ask them about
the Mason and Dixon line They
can tell you that it Is different from
a clothes line but it Is a sure thing
that very few will be able to furnish
very much Intelligent Information
Therefore it Is Interesting to recall
the story of tbe Mason and Dixon
line and here It la
One hundred and fifty years ago
today two English surveyors Charl-
es Mason and Jeremiah Dixon be-
gan the surveying of what Is known
as the Mason and Dixon line between
the states of Pennsylvania and Mary-
land This line afterward became
famous as the supposed boundary
between the north and the south or
between the free or slavery-holding
states From it -came Dixie the cog-
nomen for the south which has been
Immortalized in song and Btory The
line was surveyed at the instance of
William Penn and Lord Baltimore
The surveyors were three years In
making the survey from the north
east corner to the foot of Savage
mountains In 1769 the work was
finished from the latter point to Vir-
ginia now West Virginia The line
is said to have cobI $300000 and the
surveyors employed an army of 100
axmen and a road thirty feet wide
was cut through the dense forest A
mixture of sand and limestones of
light brown-grayish color were then
brought over from England to mark
the line and these stones were set
up at intervals of a mile apart where
It was possible to erect them They
weighed GOO pounds and were four
and one half feet high On some parts
of the line the country was so rugg-
ed that mounds of dirt and rock had
(o he substituted for these stones
Today the Mason and Dixon line
lias been resurveyed and remarked
and divested of its chief erroneous
traditions In 1849 a revision of the
line was made by a Joint commis-
sion from Pennsylvania Maryland
and Delaware and it was then found
that the original survey was so near-
ly accurate that the change Involved
by the correction amounted to less
than two acres which were added to
Maryland In 1903 Pennsylvania
and Maryland each appropriated $5-
000 for the restoration of the line
Many of the peculiar English stones
had disappeared and the commission
made an exhaustive search for them
The identification was an easy task
for on breaking them the stones em-
itted a sulphurous odor So thor-
ough was the search that some were
fouud In the siirhing of streets and
In people’s cellars One was taken
from the wall of an old stone church
where it had done Bcrvlce for many
years In the places of those that
could not be found new Rtoncs of
marble were set up On every fifth
one of these the coat-of-arnis of Wil-
liam Penn was cut on the Pennsyl-
vania side and on the Maryland aide
the escutcheon of Lord Baltimore
was placed On the others the sin-
gle Initials P M were cut The
stones are now set so near one an-
other even in the mountain regions
that the traveler may stand at a
stone and see the next one
DIBSIFT
IE CROP
COTTON CROP
MEMPHIS Dec 1— The cotton
crop of 1914 growth exclusive of
llnters is estimated at 14988790
running bales
These figures are based on a care-
ful canvass of the belt and represent
the ideas of a large body of corres-
pondents Assuming that the figur-
es are approxlmaeely correct this
year's crof Is but little Bhort of tbe
record made In 1911 Activity of
boll weevil and oeher insect pests
extreme drouth In the central valley
and the low price at which cotton Is
selling which may result In jnore
than the usual amount being left in
the fields are factors which have
militated against a record yield
A feature of these figures Is that
notwithstanding the crop Is almost
a record for size only one Btate in
the belt — Oklahoma — is shown to
have made a record yield and in
this state the figures are closely ap
proached by those Of 1911 Prac-
tically every other state however
has made within a comparatively
small number of bales of the pre-
vious record
The crop has been gathered unu-
sually fast owing to an early and
uniform maturity outside the ex
treme eastern elates very favorable
weather and an abundance of cheap
labor Removing of cotton for the
purpose of planting email grains has
also helped to rush picking in many
localities Tbe amount sown to
wheat and oats In almost all locali-
year'e crop Is but lltfle short of the
other years and this Item alone will
reduce acreage usually planted to
cotton by a considerable amount
Generally speaking farmers are
holding their cotton for higher prlc
es where they are financially able
to do so There are many however
who will be ready to part with their
holdings should the price go to a
figure that would cover the cost of
production
Although It Is of course impossi-
ble to get definite data on the pro-
bable reduction of acreage another
year correspondents are practically
unanimous In stating that the 1915
acreage will be radically reduced un-
less something happens to greatly
enhance present values of cotton
Oklahoma and most of the states
in the South have entirely too many
one crop farmers Usually the fav-
orite crop la cotton and when it faP
everything la lost Often all the
feed for the horses aa well aa tbe
vegetables meat and many other
supplies for the family that might
Just aa well be raised on the farm
are purchased at a good round price'
from the neighboring feed and groc-
ery stores
Such a plan la bound to be ruin-
ous This year the position of cot-
ton growers who are renters Is most
lamentable It la one of the years
when apparently everything la go-
ing out and almost nothing coming
In to lighten up the burdens that are
falling upon us on account of the
great war now being waged In Eu-
rope However such misfortunes are
not without lessons of value To
Oklahoma cotton growers it will em-
phasize the need of diversifying the
farm crops At least two or three
kinds of crops should be planted on
every farm and if one crop falls
there' will be one or two chances to
succeed with the other crops
Cut down your cotton acreage at'
least 50 per cent and plant this acre-
age to other crops Try Kafir mllo
feterita Sudan grass Bermuda grass
cowpeas saw beans cane alfalfa
and Spanish peanuts Sow wheat
rye and barley for pasture purpos-
es In the spring sow a few oats
plant some potatoes put out a good
garden and stop buying everything
that you can produce yourself
While you aro diversifying your
crops don’t forget to diversify your
farming Get a few brood sows a
few mares some good dairy cows
and a few chickens for your farm
In place of selling all of your feed
crops use your feed to fatten farm
stock and in this way get a better
price for your farm crops This
will help you to build up the soil
fertility of your farm instead of rob-
bing it completely by hauling off all
these products to distant towns to
find a good market — Oklahoma Farmer
