this week
The Nebraska national guard sit
uation is beginning to look very favor
able for an early admission OF the
local militia organization into the
ranks of the state guard. Members of
the Norfolk organization following
out a suggestion of Adjutant General
Schwartz have been meeting weekly
and drilling without arms. This the
adjuntant general said was the quick
est course to insure favorable action
on the petition flied by some half hun
dred young men of Norfolk who seek
to be mustered in as company in
one of Nebraska's two infantry rege-
ments. In the soldier line things
seem to be coming Norfolk's way for
reports from Lincoln indicate that
there is liable to be general shaking
up of the state guard in the coming
months in which a number of COM
panies may be mustered out of service.
And the first company that is muster
ed out will probably make room for
company in Norfolk.
h. M. Searle, jr., secretary of the
Nebraska Stock Growers association,
will issue call shortly for a meeting
to all stockmen to be held at Alliance,
January 81 This call Is in accord
with the decision of the stockmen who
recently held meeting at South
Omaha for the purpose of discussing
quarantine. The general government
refused to inspect cattle sold locally
and the state has no appropriation to
pay for the inspection and dipping of
cattle. This meeting is for the pur-
pose of getting the individual stock
grower interested to the extent that
he will clean up his own cattle 1t Is
said Nebraska is behind Colorado,
| Wyoming and South Dakota in the
matter of clean cattle and for that
reason at the coming meeting it will
be urged that growers dip their own
cattle, making the preparations during
the coming spring months. The
health officers from these states who
have superintendent the cleaning up
in their respective states will be at
the meeting and tell what was done
| by them.
