eral weelcs by the State Board of

prompt application to the Board for
the Pasteur treatment. A small dog
bit ten persons in the families of
John Graham and Henry Merrynian

southeastern part of Oklahoma. Mer-
ryman Is an Indian by blood. Tho
dog was tossed In the creek for sport
while the families were fishing. It
began snapping at the children when
it came ashore. The aged parents of
Graham thinking that tho dog was
sick attempted to administer med-
icine and both were "bitten. Tho dog
finally bit every member of tho two
families including four ndults. The
dog was killed and Its brain examin-
ed for rabies which was positively
found. The Pasteur serum treatment
wits administered to each person.
There Is no doubt of their recovery

ment Is taken in time.

Prominent Packer Tells Why Slnte
Sho uld Hnlse Mora Porkers nnd
Explains Why It Insures n
' Greater Prosperity
Tho following appeal to Oklahoma
farmers for more hogs Is wrltton by
Mr. Thomas E. Wilson presldont of
Morris & Co. packers and wo doem
it food for s'orlous thought:
"With tho prosont genoral pros-
perity Oklahoma is onjoylng her
share though her1 farmors have
scarcely scratched the surface In tho
nmttor of livestock.
"oDnofltlng by knowledge galnod
from past experience . Oklahoma
should put more onergy lrito the
raising 'of livestock. No permanent
prosperity can be enjoyed without a
woll-plannctl and enorgotlc ' scheme
of livestock production and. raising
sufficient feed to carry along tho
herds.
"Pull advantage of the great mar-
keting facilities of Oklahoma City
have not boon taken advantage of.
"Neither 1ms the production ot
hogs kept pace with growing de-
mands. In 1014 there wore In Ok-
lnhomn 1362000 hogs; in 1015.
1420000 and' on Jan. J 1016 the
government reported 1401 000 hog?
In the State. While there has been
an Increase from year to year yet It
has been comparatively nothing all
things considered. Tho breeding
ability ot tho hogs tho short feeding
period nocessnry to finish them for
market and the steady and unsteady
growing demand should find many
thousand more head on farms In. Ok-
lahoma. "Tho successful way of wising
hogs is clearly marked. Whatever
obstacles thero wen have been work-
ed out by those who have gone Into
the business. The bankers govern-
ment and State officials too have
co-operated and have done a great
amount or work fo'r the benefit of
the farmer.
"In Oklahoma prosperity rosts
largely upon the success and ener-
gies of her farmers who should bo
successful and enthuslastis livestock
producers. The farmer Is learning
every day how important is the rais-
ing of crops adapted to the climate
and how indispensable is the pres-
ence of livestock both from a fertil-
ity and financial standpoint.
"Time was just a comparatively
few years ago when farmers could
and did stand the droughts. Scarce-
ly any attention was given to live-
stock raising because of the doubt
In maturing crops to carry ovor the
livestock.
"Then was Introduced a number
of drought-resisting plants many of
wheh has been adopted. Alfalfa
feterlta kaflr corn Bermuda grass
milo maize .all were taken up and
held to or rejected as the various In-
dividual experiences "of farmers in-
fluenced their Judgment.
"Many adhered to Indian corn and
various dogreos of success were
achieved. Unfortunately many
year after year witnessed a wonder-
ful growth of their corn to a point
where its appoaranco bespoke many
woll-fllled ears and a bumper yield
only to have the hot sun kill their
cropB loavlng them none to sell and
none to food livestock.
"Then came the silo and to those
who still had faith In Indian corn it
proved a blessing. Where a- few
years borore there were sun-burned
acres and acres of corn today finds
fields growing crops bettor suited to
Oklahoma and where corn Is still
somewhat of a gamble Is found a
silo ready to receive and keep tho
foeds that will furnish nourishment
to livestock In the cold days of win-
ter or ovor the lean days when devas-
tating droughts come.
"The farmer knows ho can ship
his livestock which he has fattened
on grains that have given him a
greater margin of profit than If ho
shaped the grain to' market to Ok-
lahoma City receive a good price
and take his money homo with him.
'"TUe farmers of Oklahoma will en-
Joy prosperity Insofar only as they
singly thomBelvos earnestly to raising
larger crops and more llvostork
Whein these things are done Ja a
CrontQr measure than they ar being
- oduy then Oklahoma will ho
faTadvanCod iTwards P ' '
list of hog raising states."
RECALL OK GOH15 IS SUGGESTED
Paris III. March 8. As they have
the recall In Oklahoma why don't
they use It on Gorq.. who Is flghtins
tho Presldont? No doubt thero Is a
big majority with Wilson on this
Issue.
Might ho a goo dthing for the poo-
plo to recall him and thus show that
they moan to have mon represent
them and not themselves.

PECANS FOR MONEY CROP
According to a report from Ste-
phenvllle Texas thero has never
been sue hnctlvlty nlong the linn of
planting pecan trees in Ernth Coun-
ty as at present. Citizens are plant-
ing them in their yards and on va-
cant lots; farmers aro setting apart
fine land and showing much activity
In this attractive field. Pecans wore
In demand here this year and the re-
turns were most satisfactory. The
pecans being planted are of tho paper-shell
variety.

If you care for heavy hair that

Danderlne.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair besides it im
mediately dissolves avery particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice
heavy healthy halrHf you have dan
druff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of Its lustre Its strength
and Its very life and If not overcome
It produces a feverlshhoss nnd Itching
of the scalp; the hair roots famish i
loosen and dio; then the hair falls
out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
nnd is thin fndod dry scraggy or too
oily get a 25-cent bottle of Knowl-
ton's Danderlne at any drug store or
toilet counter; apply a llttln as direct-

We sincerely believe regardloss of
everything advertised that If you de-
sire soft lustrous geautlful hair and

scalp and no more falling hair you
must use Knowlton's Danderlne. If
eventually why not now? (Adv.)
