Undipped Cattle Can't Be Shipped.

Undipped Cattle Can't Be Shipped.
The eighteen counties comprising
the quarantine cattle district OF
South Dakota are up against hard
proposition. The state board, after
due consideration quarantined a GER
tain district and issued instructions
that all cattle within such district
should be dipped.
Cattle owners and stock growers in
many parts of the district objected to
this order and refused to dip. Beadle
county stockmen pooled their inter-
ests and took the matter in courts
and Judge Whiting of the circuit, de.
cided in favor of the cattle owners as
against the state board and his opin.
ion designated as the "No Itch-Nc
Dip" law was received with genera
approval throughout the quarantined
district But the Federal government
was yet to be heard from and its off
GERS are now in the district and re
fuse to allow any cattle to be shipped
from the district Quaratined without
dipping certificates. So Within, de.

In plain language the situation ir
this county, it being part of the
quarantined district is, that the Fed.
eral inspectors, backed by Washing
ton will allow no cattle to be shipped
from this county unless the owners
can show that the cattle have beer
dipped twice according to the order
Of the state board.
The only way out, the quickes
way, as well as the best way, is tt

AphorIsns.


A hot aired nature reveals itself in
many forms. even to the casual OBJ

The greatest lights in the world need
constant trimming.
The smiles and frowns of science
are ever on the alert for something
new.
Self-aggrandizement is what is kill.
Ing some people and they don't know
He who tries to please everybody
generally pleases, nobody
Efervescing over the misfortunes of
others is often followed by a bubbling
over your own affairs.
Pleasure and pain are intimately re.
lated.
We too often refrain from giving an
associate puff until he is lighting
up his own pipe.
Many a man thinks he is progressing
when In reality he is retrogressing.
Some people imagine they are angels
when its only because they never have
an opportunity to do wrong.
An inftammable nature is the most
unstable of all.
Every political issue furnishes a
bone of contention and while some of
us are contending for the bone some
one else always runs away with the
meat.
The hospitality Of the millinery
store is good place for an Unsuitable

Cheerful idiot" is a cruel ex-
preston, for some men have been con-
tinually looking down their noses since
that expression was coined.
Men are easily approached II you
get next to their hobby.
An august mind, untainted by mod.
ern degeneracy, never finds 1t neces-
sary to resort to that colloquism, up

When debtors and creditors come
together their interests are always
wide apart
Eating Gilead buds will not change

Every man should ride hobby, for
it will keep him from rusting out, but
never let hobby ride you, for 1t will
