ALTER STOCK BRAND LAW A decision that owners of live stock brands will have to renew them only five years from the date of the original registration rather than on the set date of Jan. 1, 1933, was an nounced Wednesday by Secretary of State Swanson. He based his action on an opin ion from the attorney general. Re newals cost fifty cents apiece and tbe practice ha3 been, Swanson said. to require them Jan. 1, 1933, and again on Jan. 1, 1938. Under the new practice, if an owner makes an original registration in 1935, he will not have to renew until 1940. The renewal requirement had caused the state senate already to request the secretary of state not to cancel any brands until further ac tion of the legislature. Swanson said the new interpretation would be good news to banks and livestock loan com panies as well as to stock owners. Phone tho newo to flo. 6.
