be In contlnous session, practically,
dnrlng the four days of the stock

following: A veterinarian, a repre
sentative of the Omaha stock yards,
a representative of the cattle Inter
ests, who shall reside In the state
west of the 100th merldlun, a n-prc
senlatlve of the horse Interests and a
representative of the swine Inter
ests. Following are the present members
of the board:'
J. H. Dulla. representing the Oma
ha market, president.
Dr. J. S. Anderson, state veterina
rian, secretary.

tel Interests.

terests. Col. L. W. Leonard, representing

Advertisers In this paper are de
pendable. If they were not believed
to be reliable and trustworthy, they
would not be offered the use of The
Herald columns.
To maintain the service that makes
The Herald, an attractive advertising
medium for the best class of business
houses requires the outlay of much
labor and expense. To be reimbursed
for the expenditure it Is necessary to
depend largely upon the revenue de
rived from the advertising, which
makes It possible to publish a news
paper of greater variety and Interest
than would be possible without it.
It Is well for readers of The Her
ald to favor Us advertisers with their
patronage. There are at least two
good reasons: By so doing they
deal with a good class of business
nven. and Indirectly they help to make
the paper better and more interest

MORE BRAND INSPECTORS
FOR OMAHA MARKET
Movement Initiated by Live. Stock
Commission Men Means Much for
Wewtern Nebraska Stockmen.
Always on the lookout for the in
terests of the men for whom they sell
livestock, the commission men of the
Omaha market are making an effort
to secure an increase in the brand in
spection force during the shipping
seanson. ,
The petition which Is printed be
low states the situation concisely but
well. As will be seen, it is addressed
to the president of the Wyoming
Stock Urowers' association, but a
copy has been sent to Hon. Robert
Graham, president of the Nebraska
Stock Growers' asslclation, Alliance,
and will be one of the Important
items of business for consideration at
the convention next week.
Brand Inspection at Omaha is done
for three state organizations, the Ne
braska, the Wyoming and the South
Dakota Stock Growers' associations
The inspectors are employed and paid
by the Wyoming Stock Growers' .as
sociation, while the other two asso
ciations pay for the service given
them.
The following petition was signed
by all members of the Omaha Live
Stock Exchange:
The Petition.
"Omaha, Neb.. May 30, 1918.
Mr Jas. C. Shaw, president.
"Wyoming Stock Growers' associ
ation. "Orin Junction, Wyoming.
"Dear Sir: We, the understigned
Omaha livestock commission men,
hereby request your association for
I decided increase in your brand in
spection force at the Omaha stock
yards, especially during the time of
the marketing of the greater portion
of the live stock from the territory
covered by your association.
"H you can supply this market
with three of our additional inspect
ors for, say three or four months in
the fall, we feel sure the net results
to you will be decidedly beneficial
from a financial standpoint.
During last fall and other previous
seansons, when the receipts of cattle
at, this market were very heavy, there
were thousands of dollars lost to the
shippers, which loss could, be direct
ly traceable to a lack of Inspectors.
Numerous Instances ere noted
where cattle were sold during the
early hours of the date of arrival,
where these cattle had to be held
over until late in the afternoon and,
in many cases, until the following
day, before they could be weighed.
"We need not go into details with
you as to the loss this delay caused
your shippers. We have some in
stances at hand where cattle were
sold on Monday, and, on account of
their not having been inspected,
could not be weighed until Wednes
day. In numerous instances, also, large
consignments of range cattle from
the territory served by your associa
tion were compelled to stand in al
leys for hours, simply for the reason
that live stock already sold had not
been inspected and could not be
weighed. This delay caused the cat
tle to occupy pens which would have
been used for later arrivals.
"We feel positive, from our knowl
edge of conditions on this market,
that the expenses of a decided in
BTMM in your inspection force dur
ing the fall would be made up in the
losses of a week.
"There are numerous other reasons
why an Increased force of inspectors
would be beneficial to you. We feel.
