ed cargoes purchased boforo Mnrrh 1,
1915. In explaining this Lord Robert

was necessary if German trade wns tc
be stopped absolutely.

Stopped Sale of Cattle.
Because a bunch of cows which F.
L. Owen had advertised for sale at
Chadron wore shipped from Omaha
without being tested, on tho represen
tation that they wore intended for
rnngo stock, Deputy Stnto Veterinarian
McKIm refused to permit them to bo
sold. McKIm went to Chadron nftcr
getting word from tho local authori
ties there that Owon was attempting
to disposo of these animals as dairy
cattle.
Chadron la enforcing, a rigid mill:
ordinance nnd tho officials there did
not wish to tako chances on any pro
duct which might provo to be tuber
cular. Accordingly they asked the
stato veterinarian's office to see that
no cattle were allowed to bo sold un
til they had first been tested nnd found
freo from disease.
Owen had eight of tho untested ani
mals at the salo, nnd six others at his
ranch near Wayside. Tho deputy
stato veterinarian tested tho eight and
spotted one which had tubercular
symptoms. Ho also arranged to havo
the other six tested. All of this was
at tho expense of the owner.
Tho result of McKlm's visit was that
nothing was sold at tho advertised
sale, although Owen had some animals
there which had been regularly in
spectcd and tested.
Treasurer Hall Has a Plan.
Stato Treasurer George E. Hall will
recommend to tho next legislature a
chango in tho law which, if complied
with, will permit tho state hoard of
educational lands and funds to buy
county and school district warrants.
At present the stato can buy county
nnd school district bonds. Treasurer
Hall believes county and school war
rants aro just ns good us bonds. They
aro based on tax levies. Ho will also
iccommcnd the apportionment of the
temporary school funds for the sup
port of tho public schools whenover
tho fund reaches $100,000, which will
moan about eight apportionments
each year, Instead of two, ns under
tlio present law. This would get tho
money to the school districts in small
er sums, but oft oner nnd would not
permit tho fund to lio in tho stato
trensury until tho seml-annunl period
irrlvcs.
