Herd Owners Asked to Aid in. Correcting Stories About Sources
of Undulant Fever.
All persons interested in the prosperity of the dairy interests of the
state should aid in correcting printed
reports which have stated that raw
milk is the principal means of distributing the germs of undulant fever,
according to statements by members
of two departments at Michigan
State college.
A bulletin written by the animal
pathology and the dairy departments
at the college shows that undulant
fever is probably a new disease, that
it attacks relatively few people, and
that there is evidence to prove other
causes are much more important than
raw milk in its spread.
The germ which causes undulant
fever is apparently identical with the
one wMch causes contagious abortion
in cattle and the theory has been advanced b*r some individuals that the
fever is caused only by drinking raw
milk from herds which are infected
with abortion.
Studies made in Michigan and by
members of the University of Iowa
disnrov-* this theo^— Dairymen o
this state are asked b<r the authors
of the Michi °-an bulletin to continue
their campaign to clean up abortion
in their herds to avoid economic loss
but they are advised to make '-io radical changes in their business plans
because of stories concerning undulant fever.

1930 CALENDARS
Owing to the fact The Observer
was out of the calendar business for
a year or two, we did not print many
for.1930, but those we did tarn cut
were very pretty George Schmid,
Jr., has two beautiful designs in
large banners, one a scene oi Bear
Cat Valley, and the other entitled
"Protection," showing a fine large
dog with Ms little boy pal. E.
J. Muir chose a handsome Indian
Princess looking out over a lake in
the moonlight, and that printed for
Chris. Volz shows a scene in a summer garden, "Shady Nook." ' Otherc
are passing out various designs of
merit.
The Observer has aa unusually nice
lme ox saampies tor 1931 and hopes
to have a more extended list to taik
about in these columns a year from
now.

DUNDEE TO HAVE
NEW WATER PLANT |
i
At a special election held Monday
the Village of Dundee approved the
sale of $44,000 worth of mumcipal
bonds for the improvement of the local water system. The plans Call for
the erection of a filtering plant on
the River Raisin just outside the village limits. The vote was 275 in favor
of the project and 102 against it.
The election was the climax of long
agitation on the part-of the citizens
to improve the water supply there,
wMch at the present time is being
obtained from wells. Very few homes
are being supplied with water because
of the unsanitary condition, but it is
believed with the erection of the filtration plant that users will increase*"
and with increased revenue that the
bonds caan be retired each year.—

TECUMSEH FERE DEPARTMENT SAVES BUILDINGS
Excellent work on the part of the

Beland & Beland stock farm, east of
this village, from destruction by fire.
The blaze started in a straw stack,
oMy a short distance irom' a barn,
about 10:30 p. m. It was discovered
by a motorist and an alarm was sent
to the local 'firemen. Meantime,
neighbors carried water from a nearby pond and kept the flames under
control until the arrival of the "*de-
partmeat. The engine was then put
into action and water was pumped
from the pond. The Are was extinguished about 12:30.—Tecumseh Herald.

THE WAY OF WOMEN
These annual bazaars must be the
essence of Applied SalesmansMp. A
half hundred women work nights
three months of every year making
the pretty and useful things they offer and then a lot of them go up there
to the bazaar and in a frenzy of excitement buy . of themselves the
things they made and pay good prices
for them. Their men then come m
and buy suppers for the whole family
—the women tired and happy -wash
up the dishes—and repair to their
homes and give the runnmg story qf
each identical sale and how each article was made, and then begm all over
again to plan next year's bazaar. But
such things are worthwhile. They are
humamzing agencies in a world now
too often too selfish and too self-
centered.—Howard City Record.
