Bovine Tuberculosis
Campaign Made Rap
id Progress In 1930
Since initiating the co-operative
campaign to eradicate bovine tu
berculosis in 1917, State and Fed
eral agencies have located and
slaughtered more than two-thirds
of all the infected cattle in the
country, said Dr. Elmer Lash of the
3ureau of Animal Industry, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, speak
ing before the Southwestern States
Tuberculosis Conference at Jack-
son, Miss., on January 22.
“During this period veterinarians
engaged in this work have tested
and retested more than 75,000,000
cattle,” Doctor Lash continued.
Of these animals, they found ap
proximately 2,000,000 cattle infect
ed with the disease, and all of these
have been slaughtered. The con
sistent efforts of Federal, State,
and county veterinarians have re
duced the infection of cattle from
4 per cent in 1922 to 1.7 per cent
on January 1, 1931. Today there
are less than 1,000,000 tuberculosis
cattle in the United States.
“It is with pride that the forces
angaged in oradicaing tuberculosis
in cattle can point to North Caro
lina, Maine, and Michigan as mod
ified accredited areas. Soon we
hope to add Ohio, Indiana, and
Idaho to this list. Alabama, Geor
gia, and South Carolina are now
making remarkable progress, and
I firmly believe that we can expect
renewed activity in several more
states this year.
“At the beginning of the cam
paign the prospect of losses to
farmers by the removal of infected
animals was so great that it was
difficult to induce many owners to
have their herds tested,” Doctor
Lash said. “However, these losses
were reduced materially by the
State and Federal Governments’
paying indemnities to the owners
of the cattle slaughtered for this
purpose.
“The Bureau of Animal Industry
pays indemnity up to $35 a head
for grade cattle and $70 a head for
purebred cattle. The average in
demnity paid by the Federal Gov
ernment for the last fiscal year
was $26.16. The States paid an
average of $40.41. The Federal
Government is now spending about
$5,000,000 a year for this purpose,
and the States are spending ap
proximately $9,500,000.”

When Graft Ran Riot
/"JRAFT ran riot In the 1870’s. It
was an era of frantic search for
easy money. Honor and honesty
seemed forgotten. The Civil war had
been, ended but a few years. Great
wars appear to deaden the consciences
of men. Come, after such wars, very
often, periods where integrity seems
lost. ' 1
Throughout the West, fn the years
following the Civil war, the old In
dian trading post system began to
expand. The business was a mon
opoly. At first trading post conces
sions were given to politicians as re
wards. A few years in charge of a
trading post, selling goods ! at high
prices to Indians and underpaid Unit
ed States soldiers and a trader could
retire with a fortune.
That much was bad but not as bad
as it became later. If a man; could
clean up $50,000 or $75,000 in a year
as a trader, was thgre not easy money
enough to share? Those empowered
to make the appointments decided
they wanted their’s.
Caleb P. Marsh, a wealthy New
York man, not overparticular about
how his profits came, was the prime
mover in the scheme. Gehj; William,
W. Belknap, secretary of #ar,vwas
drawn into the conspiracy. Soon' 1 they
began selling agencies, knodiing them
down to the highest bidder. Ten
thousand or fifteen thousand dollars
- was considered a- low price for an
appointment.
But this money merely whetted their
hunger.
Through the powerful influence of
the Indian Ring, as it was afterward
dubbed, they got the Indian Indem
nity Act passed. That was what
they wanted; It unlocked the doors to
Uncle Sam’s treasury and let the gold
flow out.
Under this act if hostile. Indians
set upon a train' of goods being
freighted to a distant post and cap
tured it, the trader might, put in a
plaim for the goods -and get reimburse
ment. • Soon our fathers and mothers
began reading of Ibdian attacks on
wagon trains. Newspapers, themselves
without knowledge of th£ conspiracy,
carried, stories almost daily of red
skin uprisings. Here is what would
happenr < :
' Fifty or sixty wagons in a train,
loaded with goods for the agencies,
would set out from Kansas City, St.
Joseph, Omaha or other frontier Mis
souri river points. ’ A few days out
on the prairie and feather-bedecked
Indians in war paint would gallop
down upon the wagon trains sounding
wild war-whoops.
Wagon drivers, under the command
of a leader who was in the conspiracy,
would abandon the train. Some might
be killed. What the difference?, These
Indians, well drilled by the white
conspirators, would , take charge. The
redskins would deliver the trains to
their employers and be paid off.
Investigation might reveal the
charred . remains of a few broken
wagons, often hauled to the scene to
make a ipart of the picture. Some
times wornout horses and ponies were
sacrificed that bleaching bones might
lie on the prairie. A few human skulls
would help to paint the picture.
In due time the goods would go onto
the market at some distant point and
be sold. Demands would be made on
Uncle Sam for the losses alleged to
have been sustained. One raid often
netted $50,000 to $60,000. It was all
very simple. Due to isolation and
fear of retribution there ^was little
danger of exposure.
John S. .Evans, of Fort Sill, was a
friend of General Custer. Evans was
forced to pay $12,000 graft to hold his
agency. He gave a rebeck, lyfarsh took
It, personally, on q’; ‘‘collecting tour”
he made into the West. The check
came back bearing. the indorsement
of Mrs. Belknap, wife of the secre
tary of war.
Evans told Custer the story and
produced the cheek. Custer, full
knowing the strength of the Indian
Ring, went to Washington to break up
the scheme. He and others, brought
about the impeachment of Belknap.
But he also brought about the hos
tility of powerful forces.
And that was Tyhy Custer, with a
handful of badly armed pien. met
that day in 1876 the most powerful
Indian army that ever dashed to a
single attack; ; 5,000 mounted , Sioux
with 1,000,000 founds of ammunition.
It Is not ai nice white man’s story.

JESUS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN
Siamese White Elephants
Were Held Sacred
The famous white elephants of
Siam, which were supposed to em
body the spirit of some ancient king
or hero, were once worshiped by the
Siamese. When a white elephant was
captured it was tied to a tree with a
silk rope until tamed and taught “ele
phant etiquette” of the royal house
hold. The floating wooden palace on
which the sacred beast was brought
to Bangkok was handsomely decorat
ed and there was attendants who
bathed aryl perfumed it throughout
the journey.- Tender grasses, sugar
cane and other choice elephant foods
were served on gold and silver trays.
The remainder of the ceremony of in
duction into the royal herd comparted
with the gorgeousness of a coronation
ceremony of an eastern potentate,— L

I Jesus Healing a Demoniac (4:33-
37). - , ;.
While ’engaged in teaching in the
synagogue, Jesus was interrupted by
a man who had a “spirit of an unclean
devil,” who cried out with a loud voice
asking that he be left alone, profess
ing knowledge of him as the Holy One
of God. Jesus rebuked the demon and
compelled him to come out of the man.
At the command of Jesus the demon
came out o£ the mao with a violent
struggle. This healing shows Jesus
not only gracious but powerful to set
free men who are under the power of
the Devil, and also his ability to free
qien from the whole brood of diabolical
passions such as lust, envy, anger, and
jealousy which rule them. This mani
festation of divine power amazed the
people, causing them to cry out* “What
a word is this!”
II. Jesus Heals Peter's. Mother-in
Law of a Great Fever (vv. 38-41).
This woman was prostrate with a
great fever. They; of Peter’s house
hold besought Jesus in her behalf. He
rebuked the fever and it left her so
that she immediately arose and minis
tered unto^ them. No earthly phy
sician has ever - been known to heal
in that.way. Divine healing is imme
diate and complete. It is most impor
tant that we distinguish between di
vine healing and faith healing. Faith
healing is the result of the action of
the mind upon the body, and is meas
ured by the degree qf the faith of the
individual, while divine healing is the
action of the power of God upon the
diseased one and is always complete
and immediate.
As a result of this manifestation of
divine power, the fame of Jesus spread
abroad and many sick of divers dis
eases were brought unto him and he
healed them all.
III. Jmui Heals a Leper (5:12-15).
Leprosy was a most loathsome and
terrible disease. Because of Its foul
ness, one afflicted therewith was an
outcast. Leprosy was incurable by
man, therefore, the leper was regard
ed as hopeless and dead. In response
to the leper’s earnest request Jesus
touched him and bade the leprosy to
depart, and immediately he was healed
and cleansed. Leprosy is a type of
sin. Though sin is loathsome, hideous
and separating, Jesus has power to
save those who come to him by faith.
IV. Jesus Heals a Paralytic (5:18-
26). . ; ;•
1. Watched by the Pharisees and
doctors of the law (v. 17). The
spreading abroad of Jesus’ f^me only
incited jealousy on. the part of these
inen. They did not want to get too
close to him, but close enough to know
what was going on.
2. The paralytic brought to Jesus
(vv. 18, 19). This is a fine lesson of
Christian service. They could not heal
the man, but bfiing moved by sym
pathy they co-operated in bringing him
to Jesus who could heal and restore.
Their efforts in bringing the man show
their willingness to go to pains and
trouble to bring the needy man to
Jesus. , t
3. The man’s sins forgiven (v. 20).
Jesu^ looked back of the palsy to its
cause-—sin. The effect of his sin was
befoite-Jesus, but he proceeded to deal
with the cause of it. All disease and
death are the resultTif sin. The Lord
deals first with that which was at the
root of the trouble. Jesus saw the
faith nftwonly of those who brought
him but or tha man himself. .
4. The purpose Of miracles. (vv. 21,
22). The Pharisees accused Christ
of blasphemy when he declared the
man’s sins forgiven. Jesus showed
them that back of the beneficifent deed
to the man was the demonstration of
his deity. The main purpose in the
working of miracles is the authenti
cation of the divine mission of the one
performing them. While the divine
power and authority are thus shown,
the wisdom and Ipve of God are shown
in that in all cases the supernatural
work is for the good of the individual.
. 5. The relative value of physical ills
and moral and spiritual maladies
(vv. 23, 24). Physical ills are less
serious than the sins which cause
them.
