A new machine, called the steno-

ables the shorthand writer to get
from 400 to 600 words a minute upon
paper in an absolutely correct and

done by shorthand it has the advaa-

Adopts Resolution.

The following revolution was
adopted by the executive CON-
nlittee of the Southwest Louisiana
Development Bureau, Lafayette,
La, Oct. p, 1913.
Whereas an embargo under the
national quarantine laws prevents
the importation of cattle to this
distsict through the port of New
Orleans and Morgan City, and,
Whereas this district consumes
Approximately As, OOO head of cattle
annually upon which a saving il
freight of over 500, 900 per annum
could be effected were these ports
opened, and,
Whereas this district could
easily feed 10000 head of cattle
and there is a movement on foot to
stop Off Mexican and South
American cattle for feeding here
and finishing for the primary mar
kets, a movement which must
inure to the great profit of the
farmers here; and,
Whereas, we believe this
embargo to be unjustly and I'M
necessarily discri1ninative not only
to the above ports but to the
people of this district and state,
therefore,
Be it resolved that the manage
ment of this bureau be, and here
by is instructed to make thorough
investigation, and to urge upon
our congressman and on the SEN
ators from this state the necessity
of removing these restrictions
either by departmental order or
emergency legislation as may be
necessary"
