Members OF the Moline Ministerial
union believe that the danger OF in
fecting cattle with hoof and mouth
disease through inspection is not as
great as the danger to the public from
suspension Of inspection OF dairies. as
proposed by the County Mix Produc-
crs' association at its recent meeting
The city authorities had been asked 10
stop inspection for q month or six
weeks or until danger from the hoof
and mouth disease had passed.
The ministers took up the question
and discussed Il quite fully, ending by
referring e. TO the committee on mu-
nicipal affairs. To this body was also
referred the matter OF securing effect
i've censorship for moving picture
films. II was pointed out that the so
called national board of censorship has
passed some highly Objectionable
films and that 81 is apparent that the
