$1s,ooo PAID FOR
 DISEASED CATTLE.
Costs the State Quite Sum to Keep
 Herds Healthy.

The state board of control has al- lowed an additional $4,00e to Cattle Commissioner Jeffery' o. Phelps to meet the expenses of compensatillg owners of cattle that have been coe- demned on account of tuberculosis. Since October, 1915. the commissioner has paid about $14,000 for the loss ef cattle. This additional sum will bring the amount up to $1s,00o.
 Commissioner Phelps said Wednes- day that he expected the additional sum would. enable him to pay the amount of compensation which is now due and carry him along until the general assembly next month, when he thought provision would be made for the payment of more claims.
 The increase in the compens ton claims was due to the fact that a large number of blooded cattle waicn were found to be affected with tuber- cular troubles were condemned after examination at the instance of the owners.

forms ran out long ago. The new equip ment has not yet been issued, and as consequence many of the boys are still wearing their same old clothes. The ef- feet is sometimes startling. To see an earnest young man standing guard in the full service uniform of the United States army, with the exception of the hat and this battered old derby, is enough to force smile from the most gloomy.
 WONDERFUL COMBINATIONS
 Some of the combinations are most fear ful and wonderful, for the boys are wear ing whatever articles of uniform they can get, and are doing the best they can. Thus, one will see young man in army flannel shirt and Palm Beach trousers, and another in a faded old blue army coat and the rest of his outfit the mod ern olive drab. Of shoes there is a great variety. Low shoes. high shoes, black, tan, canvas, patent leather. any kind, just so they are shoes. But no one seems to mind.

It is a monumental task and one chat must be done with care and close at- tention to detail The officers are all overwhelmed with paper work" for without the papers no oneN can be mus tered The Birmingham organizations are being rapidly brought into the service, and they are all coming strong. The nedical examinations are yet to be passed. but the. boys take no small pride in pro- claiming themselves to be now soldiers of the United States in fact as well as name.
 It is simple ceremony but an impress sive one, this mastering in of company. To see some ninety-odd strong, vigorous young fellows standing with upraised hands swearing to 'bear true faith and allegiance to the United States of Amer ica. and to defend them against every enemy whatsoever" is a sight to bring a lump into the throat of the most thoughtless. And the boys mean what they say, too. It is this air of earnestness, this determination to do the best they can, that chiefly distinguishes this hike from any other.
