The new five-cent piece is won
der, if not joy. Mark especially
the human head on the extraordinary
beast-god called a bison. And the
Indian is too big for his frame. An
ugly coin that should teach us that

H. M. Geyer, a leading cattle
dealer of Worcester, Montgomery
county, has been convicted and fined
for violating the interstate cattle
law. The charges were preferred by
the State Livestock Sanitary Board.
State Veterinarian, DR.. G.. j. Mar
shall, states that Geyer shipped a
number of dairy COWS from another
State into Pennsylvania. After be-
ing examined as is required, one COW
was found to be not free from dis
ease. Under the law when an ami
NAL does not pass a satisfactory eX-
animation it cannot be disposed of
except under the supervision of the
State Livestock Sanitary Board.
This precaution is necessary in order
TO prevent INSCRIPTIONS dealers dis
posing of diseased cattle to innocent
farmers and dairymen. In this case
Geyer disposed of the diseased COW
while it was under quarantine and
notifying the Board.
