Evidently there is some fellow in Leon
who has an appetite for quails besides
the fellows who are eating them on a
wager. Last Friday evening there was
a string of about dozen and half
hanging in front Of Harry Vogt's gro
Gerry store and Mrs. Vogt was the only
one there. She noticed fellow take
down the quails but thought he was
just looking at them, but as he did not
hang them back or come in the store
she went to the door and was just in
time to see him turning the corner on
swift. run, and the quails were with
him.

A few months ago the K. & w. with
ous any notice tore out the switch track
and removed the stock pens and station
house at Kingston, the first station
north of Decatur City. Shippers from
that locality entered vigorous protest.
Geo. w. Baker and, Ed II. Sharpe who
ship more than 100 cars of wood each
year from that point took the matter
up with the railroad and also with the
railroad commissioners and the result Of
their work is that force of men are
now at work replacing the switch, stock
pens and station house.

THE government is particular to the
extreme in the examination of all meat
that is canned, both for export and for
home consumption. Veterinarians are
employed to carefully examine the car
casses of all animals killed for food To
these professionals is intrusted the re-
Sponsibility of determining whether the
meat is wholesome. The health of mil
lions of people depend upon the veteri-
narianS' work
1T is difficult for the civil service to
provide the constantly increasing de-
mand for veterinarians because there
are not enough men up to the standard
of qualifications who are anxious to en-
ter the government service Before a
candidate can compete in the examina-
ton he must have graduated from
some representative veterinary college.
and the examinations are such as to
leave doubt as to the candidates
capability for the performance of the
responsible work when he shall have
received his commission. 1t is absolute
ly essential that he have a thorough
knowledge of all diseases with which
food producing animals may be affiict-
ed.
There are two principal reason why
the supply of veterinarians is not equal
to the demand. First, the increase in
the price of horses because of the de-
mand for war purposes Competent vet
erinarians have had their private prac-
the government service because of sat
isfactory financial returns. In this con-
necuon Great Britain, which has been
a purchaser of many American horses
for use in the Transvaal has employed
a large number of American veterinar-
ians TO see that the horses thus pur-
chased were sound and fit for use. Sec
ond, the great increase in the demands
for meats for export purposes. There is
scarcely country in the civilized
world where American canned meats
are not used, and all meat must be
thoroughly examined
There is an excellent opportunity for
young men in this service of the gov
eminent The next general examina-
ton viii be held on October 26. Other
examinations win be held from time to
time throughout the country in the
hope of satisfying the demand for capa-
