Two notches in the same place, mark
the second litter, but litter No. 3 is
marked by a notch in the outer rim OF
the left ear.
Combinations of these notches are
made for successive numbers up to
nine, which has three notches in the
lower part of the left ear.
A notch in the inner rim or upper
part of the right ear indicates ten.
and Is used to mark the tenth litter,
while notch in the corresponding
place on the left ear, indicates 80.
With these notches as a basis any

BLIsTERs ALL OVER BODY

Hollene, New Mexico.-"Our little
boy first broke out in little yellow
blisters about the size Of pin heads
and they itched and hurt so badly he
could not rest day nor night. In few
days they were running sores and
kept spreading until they were as
large as dollar. He had them all
over his body and was nearly tortured
to death, as they hurt him so badly he
could hardly sleep. He would scratch
and cause great sores all over his
face and legs.
I'VE tried several highly recon-
mended remedies but they didn't seem
to help him bit. Nothing seemed to
do any good until we got Cuticura

Trinidad, Colo.-Strikers in the
Trinidad district, which included the
big tent colony at San Rafael heights.
whence the residents of the destroyed
Ludlow colony went, Saturday surren-
dered 72 arms OF all character to the
Federal army officers. Among the lot
were some with broken stocks. burst
barrels, broken hammers, and many
small-caliber guns and pistols.
The military officers were disap-
pointed by the manner In which
Colonel Lockett's proclamation Of dis
armament was obeyed and determined
to give the strikers, mine operators
and citizens one more chance to sur
render their arms voluntarily.
All told. there were 725 arms re-
ceived by the federal commander Sat
urday in the Trinidad district. To
this number the dealers in arms and
ammunition contributed largely. and
citizens surrendered many hunting
guns and small-caliber arms. Very
few weapons which the army officers
considered truly serviceable were re-
ceived.

Monday. He denied that orders had
been issued forbidding the importa-
ton of strikebreakers but explained
that while the situation remained
threatening the mines not already
running probably would be kept closed
until in his Judgment their opening
would precipitate no further trouble.
'It makes no difference whether
strikebreakers are imported, or wheth-
er the labor is on the ground" said
Garrison. 1.-THE question is. whether
their employment would start trouble.
We are not going to permit anything
that would aggravate the situation.
