Many of them live here and cultivate land serous the river. The residents come to Inde pendence to trade and it is cor.vtn ient for them to take the motor;bere for the county seat at Dallas. From Salem, the county feat of Marion, they are cuu off by a range of hills making connection with the Capital City impractical.

Marion county has been asked to bare a share of the burden of purchasing the ferry bo as to transfer people to and Iro across the river free. She has not seen fit to grant the request.

It is in mild form but the premises have been rigidly quarantined to prevent any possible spread. A few weeks ago, small pox broke out in the family of Joe Brown near Airiie. A quar antine was promptly established and rigidly enforced and there was D.3 spread. There is small pox in the country and has been lor some time but its very mild. It exists principally in the larger towns and cities and because the new9 of its existence ia suppressed, it occasion ally is carried to the country. It's a duty one owes to the public, that when afflicted with any ailment of an epidemic nature to consult a physician promptly and thus avoid possibility of spreading any contag ious disease.

It is not generally known that the law applies not only to the spraying of diseased trees aDd to the sale of impure spraying ma terials. The law requires dealers in spraying materials to give the purchaser written guarantee of the purity of the goods. This is an im portant provision, for there have been instances known of growers buying materials that were not only worthless, but really harm ful to the trees. The grower went to the expense of buying materials and putting it ou the" trees and without any return for his labor. One grower it is reliably declared, purchased spray material which killed all the foliage on his trees and will probably result in the death of the trees themselves. Is It Worth While?
