Wisconsin Head
Opposes Test
Governor Refuses to Comply
in Any Manner With De
fense Day Plans.
Madison, Wls., Aug. 2.—Governor
Blaine today recorded himself as defl
nitely opposed to national defense
day, September 12, and characterired
the plan aa designed to stimulate a
national military movement which
would be taken by foreign countries
ts a militaristic maneuver. The gov
ernor will not designate tha day in
Wlsconeln It was said.
Blaine's attitude was contained In
a communication to MaJ. Gen. Harry
C. Halo, commander of the sixth army
corps area, Chicago, by Adj. Gen.
Ralph M. Immel at the governor's di
rection.
"It Is Inadvisable for the American
government through propaganda and
demonstration, to stimulata a national
military movement," the statement
declared, holding that a patriotic
demonstration in Wisconsin Is un
necessary and "it would be better to
hold a demonstration that would lead
the way for foreign nations to unite
In universal peace.”
Wlsconeln National Guard will par
ticipate In the demonstration only on
tha call of the president. Issued under
the constitutional authority In a na
tional emergency, the etatement said.
D. A. R. Pledge Support.

Cook, president general of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution, on

thusiastic,” Mrs Cook said the so
cieties did not “propose to confine
their assistance to mere lip service,”
but to co operate In every way, both
locally and nationally, to make the
defense demonstration a success. Most
of them, the letter said, already have
taken steps In that direction.

12 Real Estate.“Trouble Calls”
Real Estate “Trouble Calls” are the calls
we receive from persons that have had
disagreeable, and sometimes costly, ex
periences with Real Estate deals.
Following are two of these calls, received
last week:
No. 1—A man wanted to pay off a loan
on his property. Both he and his
friends had figured the amount
to be $422. The man who held
the loan said there was an extra
$57 which must be paid, for "ex
^ pense.”
j: No. 2—A couple had “sold” their Home,
accepting a check as payment;
they made a payment of $50 cash
j on their commission. The check
I proved to be worthless, and the
agent was refusing to return the
the $50.
< Our answer to them was:
J j
%r “Your case apparently is one for the
courts. If your dealings had been with a
:i • Realtor, you would not have had this
trouble.”

Cattle Brand Reading a Profession Which Saves Huge Sums Annually
cattle stealing at present. Their sys
tem of Inspection prohibits that. The
“Strays" which they find are usually
Just cattle which have wandered Into
the wrong herd. Prosecutions for cat
tle stealing today are rare.
But the work of the Inspectors In
reading the hieroglyphs which mark
the range cattle saves the ranchers
of the country enormous sums every
year. In 1923 the ranchers of Wy
oming were saved $888,155 and had
15,731 head of cattle returned, -t Ne
braska ranchers were saved $3011099
South Dakota ranchers were saved
$32,894.
That Is the saving of but three
states In one market. Every state
has Its system of Inspection and has
It at each market. The amount of
money saved all of the ranchers Is
enormous. Montana with Its 90,000
registered brands and the other states
with their annually Increasing num
ber take the bulk, but Nebraska and
South Dakota proportionately get as
much.
By L. C. GRAHAM.
Hieroglyphs, a writing that was old
when Ramesls built the pyramids,
annually saves ranchmen millions of
dollars and daily untangles problems
In the South Omaha stockyards. It
forms means of identification for the
cattle which come from western
ranges, and makes the sale of stolen
cattle in any market in the United
States almost Impossible.
Claude L. Talbot, once a cowboy
but the last 38 years a brand in
spector at South Omaha, and his as
sistants, work long hours each day
inspecting the marks of the thous
ands of cattle held in the pens. No
steer goes to slaughter or to the
feeding farms until Talbot or one of
his men has declared It the legitimate
rroperty of the man who has offered
it for sale.
Should the animal prove, upon In
spection, to belong to some rancher
other than the one who shipped it.
the proceeds of the sale are taken
by Talbot and turned over to the of
fice of the Cattle Growers’ association
of Wyoming. Nebraska or South Da
kota to be f^pvarded to the rightful
owner.
The association retains the cost of
freight and the commission for the
sale before forwarding the money to
the cattle raiser.
Duties Sound Simple.
But while the duties of the cattle
inspectors sound very simple, it is in
truth a profession in Itself. Every
brand in every state Is registered at
the state capitol. There was a time
when the registering of brands was
handled by each county, and that com
plicates matters now. When the coun
ties handled the registering the only
attention paid to duplication was in
tho immediate county.
When the states took over the duty
of registration of the brands anv
duplication, were they widely enough
separated geographically, was allowed
to pass. So now there are often three
similar brands coming from one state.
—Photo by Or»h»m
Every day, and almost all day long, the Inspector* of brands 1n South
Omaha go from pen to pen In search of cattle that may be strays, They must
move about among the penned animals to see that no mark Is overlooked
and that all parts of each mark are seen. 7
The upper photograph, on the left, shows Claude Talbot, chief Inspector,
and three of his assistants, R. A. Bacon, H. R Robinson and George
Christlensen.
In upper right photograph Bacon Is seen whirling his lariat preparing to
"rope" a steer which he wishes to Inspect closely.
In the middle, left, the rope has fallen over the steer's head. On the
right Bacon Is seen clipping hair over the brand In order to see the mark
lng to better advantage.
Below, Bacon Is taking down notations of brands that are in that pen.
In Wyoming alone there are 45,
000 registered brands. Nebraska
boasts but 15,000 and South Dakota
has approximately 16,000.
Another confusing feature for the
Inspectors to watch Is the habit of
ranchers of having more than one
brand. Senator J. B. Kendrick, of
Wyoming, has five brands that he
uses all of the time and a sixth which
he used occasionally.
The inspectors have all been fa
miliar with cattle and horse brands
for years and, of course, are able to
read many of them readily. But there
are always a few new ones appear
lng on the market and for these *he
men must refer to their "guide."
Guide Book Helpful.
The guide Is a little volume In
which the owner of every brand and
his address is shown. It closely re
sembles an official guide to the tomb
of King Tutankhamen. It depicts
each brand In careful, straight lines
and tells the name of the owner In
clear English type. But when the un
inltlate, after carefully reading the
guide, start- ut to read brands, he
finds things more complicated than
he at first thought.
The MY brand, for Instance, owned
In South Dakota, looks, in the book,
like two small letters run together,
but when the brand is seen on a
steer it is a sprawling, unintelligible
thing The lower point of the first
leg of the M starts on the animal s
left shoulder. The final point of the
last leg of the M ends on the animal s
hip and the arms of the Y are the
center parts of the M. Yet the In
spectors speak of that brand as
simple.
There are other trials to the art ol
reading brands. Some are burned or
one side of the animal and some on
the other. Some are small and
burned on the shoulder, others are
smaller yet and burned on the anl
trial's cheek. Some are large and
cover one whole side of the animal
Some cover only its flank. Some cat
tie have been branded two or three
times, one over the other.
Few Cattle Stolen.

Omaha feels that there Is verv much
