The following treatment is said to
preserve nets for a long time in good
condition: Soften one pound good glue
in cold water. then dissolve it in ten
gallons Of hot soft water with half a
pound of curd soap. Wash the nets in
soft water, then boil them in this for
two hours. press out excess of the
liquid and hang up over night. Then
put two pounds of alum in i've gallons
of water. heat nearly to boiling. and
immerse the nets in this for about
three hours, then press out and trans

wanted a fee for looking through the
bars of the d~ouble-deck cars-many of
the lockers absolutely without ability
to have told whether they were sheep
OF goats. The state laws of nearly ev.
cry western state need rewriting and
revising, that all laws appertaining to
live stock (including brands and boun-
ties) shall be uniform and similar in
the various states. We should now ask
of railway arrangements a universal
basis of car lengths, as thirty-six-foot
cars are now universal, and rates are
still based on thirty-foot cars; all cars
above ~thirty-six feet to carry an in
increased rate per foot, and all less in
proportion. which should apply uni
versally either by weight or carload
lots: the minimum to be low enough
where it is dollars and cents per hun
dred-weight to enable lamb shippers to
load the minimum and not be charged
for $4,000 lambs where but $4,000 can
be loaded. This is a just demand and
should be conceded by the railroads.
More Funds Needed.
Every passing year means much to
the stockmen o f this nation, and we
must not have our efforts handicapped
by lack of sufficient funds to work
with. 1t is the part of wisdom to have
a fund of at least $10,O 900 in our treas
ury, rather than barely enough to pay
n secretary, stenographer, Il print
ing and postage bills. We are repre-
senting the live stock industry, which
was never in such a flourishing Condi-
ton as it is today, and ample funds
must be forthcoming or results will
not be what we hope for. What is s10,-

with our augmented membership, over
$500, 0O0, 900? trust that this present
meeting will provide the funds, so that
incoming president will have
greater facilities for accomplishing re-
suits than has he who has served you
for nearly four years. I bespeak for
my successor a wider field of useful

ROaeberY Held the Train.

1t is related of Lord R~osebery that
he once arranged to meet a friend at a
country railroad station, the two in
tending to travel in the same direc-
ton. The train arrived. but his friend
was still over half a mile away, though
his carriage could be seen coming as
fast as the horses could gallop. Lord
Rossbery vainly entreated the station
master to hold the train for a few
minutes, and as a last resort sat down
on the rails in front Of the engine, re-
fusing to bulge until his friend was
on the platform.

ONE WOMAN

With two faces !; one face bright with
health, the other face pinched and drawn
by illness. Many a woman can take the
portrait of herself made but a few years
ago, and holding it by her face in the
mirror realize a similar change.
Behind this change in form and Tea
ture is always disease, and generally dis
ease which affects the wonanly organ
ism. The backache and bearing-down
pains put a heavy strain on the nervous
system. There is loss Of sleep, lack OF
appetite, and, as a natural result, loss OF
strength and flesh.

which passed the house by a large ma

cents a pound tax on oleomargarine in

obtained by this bill is to SO tax oleo-
margarine that it will no longer be able
to compete with butter in the market
and thus leave our home market to the
tutter trust. No more rank piece of
federal legislation was v e proposed,
and which if passed takes the butter
from the table of the poor throughout
the land. The time has fully come
when the great stock interests must be
represented in Washington by as able
men as we have in the business, and by

When Mr.. Thomas took the nomina-

the avowed intention of making 1t the
stepping-stone to the United States
senate. That thought never left his
mind during his term as governor, and
every political move made by him while
in office was toward that end. He
built up a strong political machine,
which he used for the %furtherance Of
his senatorial ambitions and wher the
legislature assembled he and his close

this morning at the opening of the
fourth annual convention of the Ma.
tional Live Stock association.
During the assembling of the dele,
gates music was furnished by the Colo,
RADIO Cowboy band. The convention
was called to order by President
Springer at 1920. Governor Heber NJ.
Wells was introduced and delivered an
address of welcome.
An address of welcome was then de-
livered by Acting Mayor Buckle and a
response by R. NJ. Allen of Nebraska.
A telegram was read from Vice Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt sending con
CALCULATIONS and best wishes to the
boys"
The rollcall was deferred until the
afternoon session. President Springer
then delivered the following address:
"The stockmeu of the .nited States
now clearly recognize that they must
maintain an energetic national ~associa-
ton if they would have their interests
looked after, knowing full well that
this century will present new questions
for solution with broader opportunities
for commercial success. In our own
business today there are too many
small leaks, too heavy taxation, too
many thieves and stock rustlers
abroad, too man.. state inspection fees.

ness should be controlled by the fed
eral government. without a dollars ex-
pense to the shipper.
"One subject which has engaged our
attention this past year has been the
amendment now pending in congress
known as bill No. 1853, which extends
the time limit on shipments of cattle
from twenty-eight to thirty-three hours
in summer and forty hours in winter
under proper restrictions. Upon the
invitation of President Brown, I ad-
dressed the Humane Society of the I'm

society would withdraw its opposition
to our bill. l hope some favorable &C.

Neither DR.. Carlisle nor Mr.. Conner
have behind them the strong influence
that Abbott and Townsend have. DR.

trict is merely local. and Ia consequence
he lost his district 10 the Democrats
at the last election TO William H. Har-
desty.

'even carry his own district. and this will
be required 10y Alice before the doctor
can hope 70 gain the nomination.
Mr. Conner is offered as railroad
man. This viii be considered in the ma
neuvers. for DR.. Marshall is known TO be
opposed to the Pennsylvania railroad
combination. When the pros and cons
are set MP side by side, Il can be seen
that neither DR.. Carlisle nor Mr.. Con.
ner have the predominant Influence IN
their districts. and are not likely to get
the nomination.
For the Democrats TO win ia the Tenth
representative district, they will have tC
overcome q Republican majority of about
200. This is the strongest Republican
district In the county, and one of tbs
strongest in the State. Whether they
will succeed win be determined only by
the election.
