buying could be traced at all, IL looked
more like accumulation by Standard Oil
interests than any that had been seen in
the stock for many days past.
Selling OF Union Pacific by one Of the
large traders attracted mere attention
than it was entitled to from the fact that
the trader in question has often been
known 10 possess inside information on
the Hartman issues. In this instance,

although the next dividend IS only about
two months of. the stock is still selling
on a basis whore IT yields more than -
per cent on the investment. Those vino

TICKS LAST YEAR.
DIR. Cary Says Cattle Quarantine Us
Immediately Effective.

Huntsville, May Gz-Nopecldh)-
Letters from DR.. C. A. Cary. State
veterinarian and secretary of the state
Live Stock Sanitary Board. indicate
that the petitions of hundreds OF
farmers of this county asking that the
operations of the cattle quarantine
law be deferred until the first of the
year will come to naught.
DR.. Cary says it is impossible to
postpone the work undertaken for the
eradication of the cattle tick, that the
government has made the appropria-
ton for the work to be done this year.
This is the time for the work to be
done to destroy the tick. DR.. Cary
says the law requiring cattle to be
taken from the range will not work
a hardship on the farmers and most of
the dissatisfaction has been caused by
false reports. The inspectors have
been instructed to take due care in
every case and no farmer will he
ruined AS little trouble as possible
will he imposed on the cattle owners
so that farm work will not be inter-
fered with.
