The Battle Against T. B.
WE CALL him a government official but he is nevertheless
a general directing an army against an enemy. He sits
in a little office in one of the government buildings of the
United States department ot agriculture and before him is not
war maps but a big chart which tells him how the great fight
is being carried on.
The enemy is tuberculosis or T. B. that great disease that
menaces our live stock industry.
This enemy is concentrated in many places in the United
States; the battlefields are widely scattered. The general knows
just where the enemy forces are greatest and most dangerous
and in some places with the aid of the people of the section he is
waging his fierest fight.
He directs the campaign by means of a large colored map
which hangs on the wall of his office. That map shows in va-
rious colors the number of cattle in every county in the nation in-
fected with T. B. The greatest infection is shown in red and
white indicates absence of disease. The red spots are gradually
replaced with white. When all is white the campaign will have
been won.
He has adopted the policy of removing the disea^ from one
county at a time. At the present time there are 50 counties that
are all white. As more counties are cleaned up the red spots
will disappear and it is only a question of time when the map will
tail to show one spot ot red. At least that is the prediction of
the department which claims that slowly but surely 1. B. is be-
ing overcome.
This general is only one of several who are directing the battle
against diseases and pests that threaten our animal and veg-
etable life.

I Flax Seed Now Cash Crop
/V CCORDING to the United States department of agriculture
flax was one of the first crops introduced into this country
trom the 04^4 in those early days nearly every house-
hold had its patch of flax.
Like many another product of the soil its uses have so ex-
panded that we find it necessary now to import flax from Argen-
tina and Canada. Larly in the 19th century the manufacture of
linseed oil from flax seed was begun. For a time we had a sur-
plus of the seed and exported to Europe but since 1908 the pro-
duction has not been sufficient to meet the increasing demand
and we are now adding to our own output by importations.
Like cotton seed flax is a cash crop and very little of it is
now consumed on the farm as in the earlier days. The manufac-
ture of linseed oil used for mixing paints anc! varnishes and in
making linoigum oilcloth printers’ ink patent leather imitation
leathei and several other products has developed enormously.
The flax seed is ground heated and pressed to extract the oil
and the industry has grown to large proportions.
The residue after the oil is extracted is known as linseed
cake or it ground as linseed meal. It is valuable as feed for
live stock especially lor daily cattle and young growing animals.
Ferhaps the utilization of cotton seed in the manufacture of
cooking oil and in meal and cake for feeding pui poses was first
suggested by the methods of treating flax seed.
EBERT DIES
fUontinue.l from page I.)
her 9 1918 Ebert assumed a leading
role becoming chancellor in succession
to Prince Maxmillian of Baden who had
been instrumental in negotiating the
aimistiee. He was in office only
hours being forced out when control of
the government was taken over by the
people's commissaries. It was Ebert it
was said who by skillful maneuvers
prevented the radicals from gaining tn*.
upper hand in the turmoil created by
the revolution.
A few weeks later Ebert became one
of the six commissaries who arranged
:r the first meeting of the German na-
jnal assembly at Wieniar to form »
provisional government of the repub-
lie. On February 11 1919 he was elect
ed provisional president.
The provincial government function-
ed until August 24 when Ebert took the
oath as Imperial president and two days
later the national assembly ceased to
exist being superceded by the new
reichstag. Upon taking the oath he said
‘'the essence of our constittuion shall
above all be freedom but freedom must
have law. This you have now establish
ed. We will jointly hold it. It will
give us strength to testify for the new
vital principle of the German nation
freedom and right.”
During the first tew months of the
provisional government its foundation
was threatened bv the crisis which arose
over the question of signing the peace
treaty. President Ebert and his first
premier. Phillip]* Seheidemann were op-
posed to yielding to the demands of the
allies. With no other course left hut
to accept Seheidemann and his cabinet
resigned and a pro-treaty government
was formed which included some of the
ministers of the previous cabinet. The
new government while denouncing the
terms of the treaty decided to accept
Vind in July 1919 President Ebert sign-
ed the bill ratifying the treaty.
Opposed Radicals
With this phase of the treaty crisis
over the government was confronted
jrith the problem of) getting delegates
* ' ~
j to go to Paris and shoulder the respon-
sibilities of signing the treaty. These
weie obtained alter many declined what
they regard as an emptv honor.
Internal troubles were bobbing up
nearly every day but President Ebert
vigorously opposed the movements of
j Spartacists and communists. He han-
I died his difficult job so well that when
j it came time for the scheduled presiden-
tial election in 1922 he was requested
by a coalition of several parties to re-
main until .June 1925. which he agreed
to do. The election of 1922 was post-
poned because of the dangers of bol-
shev'st agitation and general unsettled
conditions. *
After the new government had been
transfer led from Berlin one of the first
announcements of President Ebert was
I that he did not intend to live in the
palaces of the former Kaiser. These he
characterized as “museums of a dead
epoch.
Faced .Many Dangers
It W'!' no easy task to hold together
the new republic because of the condi-
tions that existed when it was born: And
even after it was formed and function-
ing the new government of the people
was confronted with one danger after
another. Scarcity of food clothing and
fuel riots in various parts of the conn-
try frequent agitations and movements
to overthrow the republic and re-estab-
lish the monarchy and finally the crash
of the country's financial and monetary
systems which became the joke of the
business world and which caused its
I paper money to depreciate until its
money v: hie was less than the paper and
ink* of which it was made. President
Ebert however weathered one storm af-
ter another and finally sawr the dawn of
a new day for Germany which experts
in government arced was brought about
by the Dawes reparations plan.
Ebert was born February 4. 1871 at
Heidelberg the son of a tailor. He at-
tended the elementary schools hut nev-
er found time or finances to enable him
to attend the Heidelberg University
Early in life he became an apprentice
in a saddler's shop and although he
worked 12 and 14 hours a day. he read
and studied a great deal at night. He
acquired the habits of industry and hard
work as a youth and never forgot them.

BY MARIO II. HINT
WASHINGTON—For the first time in
the country’s history the oath of office
I is to lie administered to a president by
l one of his predecessors.
Th:s will bo March 4 when Presi-
dent Coolidge is sworn into office by ex-
President Taft.
Taft will be acting in his capacity as
chief justice of the Supreme Court.
He is the first ex-president to hold this
position and he held it when the pres-
ent chief executive took his oath of of-
' five following President Harding's
death.
Rut on that occasion the oath was ad-
j ministered by C vPilaoonidl HRDLU
j ministered by Calvin Cooli lge’s father
. John Coolidge in his old New Kngland
farmhouse.
When President Harding took the
■ oath at the preceding inauguration it
; was administered by Chief Justice I
White.
; * * *
I I
J Coolidge’s inauguration may not be
the -big splash" o^ former years but
indications are it will draw just as big
a crowd.
Washington railroad offices report
that interest in the event is nation-
j wide that t’e demand for tickets is
1 such that special reduced rates are to i
be in effect.
Railroads in the Trunk Line associa-I
' tion are selling round-trip tickets for
one and it half times the price of a
one-way fare.
j The other roads have not yet made j
definite announcements hut by regu
lation of the Interstate Commerce Com- j
. mission they must act in unison in J
such matters.
j Applications for reservations are j
pouring in to the city's various hotels. 1
Those received so far include a re-
quest from Charles i>. Hilles national
committeeman for New York state for
a reservation of 25 rooms and 100 seats
at the inaugural parade.
Willis B. Dye of the Indiana State
Republican committee has asked for
hotel accommodations an.l seats for 125
persons.
* * *
The recent Scott divorce case brought
the prohibition scandal in Washington
to a climax.
i The real drys realize that they must
suppress drinking congressmen who
vote dry. Against those who vote wet
the- drys can’t do much in the formers'
own constituencies. But the drys who
drink are vulnerable.
The drys are sending thousands of
letters to voters in the districts the
wet drvs represent saying in effect:
"Do you know that your congressman
. drinks Well he does. It’s up to you
• to put a stop to it."
This campaign is getting results. The
wet drys are in a state of hysterics
But aren’t they also somewhat sore on
the dry drys? I’ll say so.
