From the above 1t can be seen that
the cost per parcel mile with the gas
cars is about Is per cent higher than with
the electric. and this fact had much to
do with the disuse of gas cars In this
service.
Another point shown in this ten

the postoffice has been able to get more
dependable service from the electric CARE
This is an important point. and means

The aYowed object of the associa-
ton are as follows:
/. The eradication of the cattle
tick.
2. The development of a profitable
cattle industry In the south.
3. The promotion of effective and
uniform national and state live stock
sanitary legislation.
The means which have been sug-
gested for the Accomplishment OF
these objects are in part as follows:
|. The holding Of meetings for the
discussion Of live stock problems and
the dissemination Of live stock infor-
nation. 2. The organization Of local
or county associations which will pro
mote the work of tick eradication and
the Improvement of the cattle OF the
locality by the introduction of pure
bred bulls g. BY assisting the small
live stock producer in marketing his
products.
It has been suggested that an active
field agent may be employed by the
association to assist local cattlemen
in the attainment Of these purposes.
At Memphis, Tenn, on December
10th and 18th, 1913, the first regular
meeting was held and a constitution
and bylaws adopted fixing the an
nual membership dues at $500 per an
num. At that meeting a large num-
Der Of cattlemen were in attendance
from all the southern states, from
Kentucky to Florida and from Vir-
ginia to New Mexico, and enthusiasm
ran high. Every southern cattleman
