MLJNCEY CHAPEL Sixty-six friends and neighbors of Walter Wiikerson gathered at his him a farewell party. A bountiful dinner was spread at the noon hour. Those present were: McDonald Counties has aided many farmers in disposing of diseased animals at a good price Just before the winter months set in and when feed is high. A good many farmers are yet unfavorable to the government's prac- lice of weeding out diseased animals and giving the owner a bonus on re- actors. Diseased cattle are not profi- table producers and will spread the disease among profitable animals.

While the disease is not common among humans, every once in a while a person contracts the disease from diseased animals. It was reported that a small girl in McDonald County contracted the. disease and while the cows from which the child had been drinking milk, were not reactors, they were dis posed of. It is possible the child got the disease from a relative or neigh- bor's diseased animal. Dr.

Tuck states that when he first started practicing his profession several years ago dairy herd owners in the cities were not forced to test their animals for tuberculosis.

I While KGHX is devoted to NBC broadcasts, the management of KWTO will reserve most of its programs to boost every worthwhile thing in the Ozarks. and to "tell the world" about this beautiful section of the country. FOREIGN RED CLOVER SEEK LESS HARDY In a warning issued to Missouri farmers who are using European red clover in preference to domestic strains, the inferiority of the European seed is pointed out by Helm of the Missouri College of Agriculture who says that this inferiority has been shown by experimental tests with foreign and domestic red clover at I the Missouri Experiment Station. This warning is prompted by the fact that the high price and shortage of domestic red clover seed is again causing the importation of considerable quantities of red clover from European countries. In these tests the total average yield of cuied hay of the foreign strains was approximately a ton less per acre than the yeild from the domestic strains.

Many of the plants trom foreigll seed ma(le little or growth after the first cutting anil many of them winter killed badly. Mr. Helm states that this warning does not apply to Canadian grown seed, described by their common names foe that the numDer ano Kinus or raw furs shipped to points outside of the 'state must be clearly stated on the outside of the package or bundle, ac- eoru.ug lu Act relating to inter-state commerce.

AMI loses The body of Clureiice Woodurd. 42. deckhand on the Coos river bout Favorite, was taken from the river's water near Hay's landing above Idyl-wood lute Wednesday while Boy Seoit Claude Huff was rescuing Clyde Douglas, smull passenger the older man had attempted to save from the stream.

Ileurt failure was the cause of Mr. Woodard's death. Seven minutes after ho had dlsnppearned beneath the water his body hud been dragged up by pike and lodged III a rnwboat manned by Grover Davis and C. II. Woodard.

operator of the Fuvorite aud cousin of the dead Artificial respiration jand later the lnhalator of the Marsh-I field fire departmnt were unsucccss-j fully applied. i Seven-year-old Clyde, one of the i ten school children en route home o.i i the Favorite, had fallen overboard from the bench on which the youngsters were sitting at the rear of the boat. Vallently treading water, the lad remained in the one spot, where water was 18 feet deep, while the boat went by. Not waiting to remove shoes or a sipgle garment, Clarence Woodard. who with his wife had returned to the river only last summer from Oklahoma after eight year's absence, leaped into the river and swam to the boy.

Witnesses, of whom there were 20, believe Woodard must have understood Clyde was safe, for the would-be-res-surer started to shore. He may have felt a heart attack coming on as lie had been ill a portion of the day and more than a year ago he had been told by doctors he must not exert himself: Close to shore, he struggled briefly and went down, not to appear until the men in the rowboat reached him. While other adults rolled his cousin in a blanket and attempted to resus citate him C. H. Woodard drove rapidly to the nearest telephone in Eastside to call the Marshfield fire department.

Forty-seven minutes after the call came in, Gordon Smith, department mechanic, had driven over the twenty miles of winding road and the inter vening highway with aid. In his car he carried the fire department's, lnhalator. He is survived by four brothers, Jennings of the The Dalles, Oregon and Norrel of Tulsa; a sister, Mrs. A. T.

Erwin, of Oswego, Kansas; his father, W. Woodard, of Tulsa and his widow, Georgia Woodard.

testing of dairy animals and many dairy herd owners were bitterly opposed to it, but when the milk consumers begun to see samples of diseased animals from which they had been purchasing milk, dairy herd owners were soon glad to get their herds rid of diseased animals in order to find a sale for their milk. At the present time the majority of Mis souri counties are T. B. free after the testing was made compulsory. At tbe present time Bang's disease is where T.

B. was several years ago. Already the large cities of the State have passed ordinances prohibiting the sale of milk from cows that are not free of Bang's disease and sooner or later the government will force all cattle owners of the State to have their animals tested. Although tuberculosis is more sus ceptible to humans, Bang's disease spreads much more rapidly among cattle. In some herds tested recently in this community every cow on the farm was diseased.
