The new system of voting to-
day will no doubt bring about
some radical changes as far as
straight party votes are con-
cerned. Usually on state or
national elections, the party
voters marked it straight and
the ticket even down to trustee
officers were elected, but this
year things are different.

ith much interest all over the

states where governors are
elected, the fight is merely
along party lines, the republi-
cans trying to secure as many

Rules for Meat Shipment

Some important rulings were
announced the other day by the
Department of Agriculture IN
tier the meat inspection law. In
brief, the rulings were as fol-
lows with regard to the ship
1lent of carcasses by farmers:
The right of the farmer to
ship in interstate or foreign
commerce the carcasses of ami
mails slaughtered on the farm
is a right personal to the farm
rr and applies to the shipment
rf carcasses of such animals in
the interstate or foreign COM
,lerce only when such carcasses
are shipped by the farmer or
his agent.
Wholesale dealers who are
not acting as agents for farm
ers, but who own carcasses of
animals slaughtered by a farm
tr on the farm, may not reship
said carcasses in interstate or
foreign commerce.
The above should be very in
teresting to the farmers and
should make the point clear
with regard to shipping of car
casses by the individual owners
