Dreaded Disease Among Cattle.

| btSddSa btoSdoN Hhhoh6 ~he'~'
There is an outbreak Of the dreaded
hoof and mouth disease among cattle in
Washington county, Md, next door TO
Jefferson county. In six farms near
Leitersburg on Tuesday 30 affected cattle
were found among 1T examined, and on
one farm II out OF 81 cows were discov-
cred with the disease. Ii is believed that
many other cases will be found in the
county. The disease was carried into
this section, il is thought, by shipment
of seventeen steers received by Harvey
Hykes from the Chicago stock yards,
where il is now rampant. He noticed
that some OF his stock appeared sick some
time after the steers had been received,
and an investigation showed that they
were suffering from bad attack Of hoof
and mouth disease. 1t is likely that the
entire State OF Maryland will be quaran-
tined.
Government agents some days ago dis
covered many cases OF the disease in the
Chicago stock yards, and vigorous steps
have been taken to prevent its spread.
A strict quarantine has been enforced,
but before it was known that the cattle
were infected many had been shipped to
various parts OF the country.
The disease is extremely contagious
an animal passing by another may be in
fected. While it is not usually fatal, it
has very bad effect upon stock, causing
them to become greatly emaciated and re-
ducing the flow OF milk The tongue OF
the animal affected becomes sore, causing
it to eat with difficulty, and IFS hooiS get
in very bad condition. sometimes drop
ping of.
Farmers IN every section are urged 10
keep a strict watch on their cattle, and
upon the appearance OF any symptom OF
sickness they should at once commune
cate with local veterinarian or an agent
of the government at Washington.

Great State Victory. Says Governor.

Denyer.-Governor Ammons issued
the following statement in regard to
the tax decision in which he charac-
terizes the Supreme Courts decision
as great victory for the state in tax
matters and defends the position Of
the state in the long controversy:
II consider this the greatest victory
in the direction of equal taxation ever
achieved in the history of the state.
Even with the valuation now sus-
tanned, there will be collected for state
purposes throughout the state approx
imately $4,000 to $4,000 less than a
year ago, and In Denver, with the in
creased valuation, there will be col
lected about $4,000 less than year
ago.
With the large amount of new
property included in this increased
valuation, the rate of taxation is,
therefore. much less than 1t was in
preceding years, and IL anyone suf-
fers from overtaxation for state pur-
poses 1t will be because of unequal
valuations in the individual counties.
1T will be found upon investigation
that the rate of taxation this year for
state purposes is lower, valuations
considered. than for any other year in
the last quarter of century. if not
the entire history of the state"

FARMERS LOAN Law
DECLARED VALID IN ALL ESSEN

Attorney General Farrar Declares
That Investments Must Be Made on

western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-Tax levies by counties to re-
imburse the state school funds for
losses which might occur on loans of
funds made to farmers would not be
valid, according to the opinion OF At
torney General Farrar, but he believes
that the state might impose general
and uniform tax levy for such pur-
pose which would be legal.
Attorney General Farrar has fin
ished a draft of the opinion which
contains his essential holdings.
He believes the loan law valid and
consistent with the exception CT the
one provision making the counties re-
sponsible for any losses which might
occur to the school funds from loans
and says that plan of operation can
be worked out
1T seems to me obvious that one
person cannot, under the constitution.
be taxed to pay the Indebtedness of
another person." he says. Such action
would not be uniform taxation when
made by a county.
He believes the investment of school
funds by the treasurer in state bonds
and warrants to be all right and
thinks no criticism OF the present or
past treasurers for such investments
can be made justly.
Treasurer Leddy is reminded by the
attorney general that he is only the
custodian of the funds and that the
laws of the state as to disposal and
investment of funds must be the treas
urer's justification, although it is the
treasurer's privilege and duty to be
certain that the laws are safe and
valid.
The attorney general declares that

Mothers Day

The mothers have come into their They have their day, officially given them by con gressonal resolution and presidential procamaton But Mothers Day did wait upon congress and the president. It had already and come to stay. It had already been celebrated as an annual event. by boys and girls and by and women grown gray, whose mothers have long dweit in heaven.
 But, even before that the mothers had not been without honor. Long before such a public and con certed expression of obligations given to mothers yesterday in the churches and other organizations, and of all and all countries had acknowledged their overwhelming debts to their mothers for having the feet of their children in right paths. There had been deep regret for disobedience and rebellion against the sweet guardianship and government of mothers.
 Mothers Day will bear this fruit It will teach to the young what many who not now young have learned later in life the value of mother at time when a proper appraisal of her value will be most beneficial.
 The influence of the mother will be made more commanding when and testify regard ing her worth. Many boy and girl with d correct appreciation of mothers love and wisdom will be held back from slipping. Mothers Day is one of the many signs that the world is growing better
 An appropriate feature of every celebration of Mothers Day would be the reading of Cowpers "On Receipt of My Mothers Picture and especially these lines from that beautiful tribute to ory of d santed mother:
 The record fair That memory keeps of all thy kindness there Still outves many storm that has effaced \ thousand other themes Jess deeply traced.

Some times, when work q crime and I'm sorey tempted to 500, l think of the long vanished time when 1 was out hunting d job l walked eighty miles every day and climbed forty thousand high stairs, and people would shoo me away and belt with inkstands and chairs And then, when the evening dark l knew naught of comfort or ease l made me bed in the park, for supper cheWed bark from the trees l looked through the windows at who tackled their oysters and squads. and probably grumbed again because they tired of their joos.
