Notice to Stallion Owners
Editor Western Kansas World,
Wa-Keeney, Kansas.

Nd-hocucy. hdLSdS
Dear Sir:-I am making clippings
of the advertisements of stations
standing for public service in the
State of Kansas, and / notice that in
a recent issue of your paper there are
a large number of stations advertised
for public service and not a single
one of these advertisements is legal.
The law states very definitely and
specifically that every. bill, poster or
other advertisement must contain
correct copy of the state license. /
would suggest that you take this
matter up with-these owners, either
personally or by a public notice in
properly adjusted, as every owner
who has had his horse advertised in
your paper has laid himself liable to
the penalties as provided by this law.
There has been great deal of
graft in this horse business and the
purpose of the Live Stock Registry
Board is to expose this graft and also
to warrant to the mare owner the
| breeding condition or soundness of
the stallion which he patrOniZes.
This should work no injustice or
hardship upon anyone The spirit of
advertise his stallion for exactly
what he is The reason that we in
sist that each advertisement contain
a correct copy of this license is be-
cause of the fact that the state
license contains a verified and au-
thentic statement concerning the
breeding and condition of soundness
of stations that are licensed. 1t is
the intention of the Registry Board
to enforce this law this year, and
feeling that these instances of viola
tion have probably been due simply
to oversight, l am taking this matter
up with you so that these men may
have an opportunity to make the cor
rections in advertising, so that they
will be complying with the Kansas
Stallion Law.
| Yours very truly,
G. w. McCampbell,
|

battle from start to finish and as the

mingled with applause, arose from
the five thousand in attendance. Of
