the reviewing of work done by the various
division agents, was completed. The d.
vision agent for Georgetown. on account or
Illness. requested leave of absence FOR six
months or less" without pay. This request
was granted and the secretary was in

take the place OF the Georgetown agent.
The approach of Thanksgiving day led
the board to discuss the overlapping. dupli-
cation and waste of charitable resources.

at Thanksgiving day and Christmas time.
The board Instructed the general secretary
TO send a personal letter to the leading
clergymen of the city and all the charitable
agencies. and all the clubs societies or fra

distribute any Thanksgiving day and Christ

TO report confidentially the names and adj

A special clerk will be detailed to check
over these lists. comparing them with each

Admitted to Argentine.

The Secretary of Agriculture announces
that the latest shipment Of cattle from this
country to Argentina has been admitted into
that country without detention. The action is
interpreted by the department as evidence
that the Argentine government Is satisfied
that the efforts of this government to sup
press foot-and- mouth disease in this coun-
try have been thoroughly successful. and
that there is no danger Of importing that
disease through shipment of cattle from
this country The Department of Agricul-
ture places no credence in the allegation
slaughtered on arrival by the Argentine
officials, were affected with foot and mouth
disease. Their summary seizure and
slaughter. and especially the method Of
disposing of the carcasSes. according to
the department, made it impossible to es-
tablish the healthfulness Of the animals
