tory in an effort to give the citizens
OF the state some correct information
concerning this disease. Actual CO.
operation among all the existing fed
eral, state. county and municipal
agencies, together with sympathetic
assistance from all private corpora
lions and individuals, will alone pre.
vent serious losses to stock and hui
man deaths. Already in two years
over thirty people in California have
suffered the terrible death from this
disease. Steps have been taken by
the states of California, Oregon, Ne
vada, Idaho and Utah, to obtain as.
sistance from the several federal ser
vices especially Interested If these
efforts to obtain federal help are to be
successful 1t will be necessary to show
that the various state governments and
the citizens of these states are doing
their part in helping to eradicate this
disease.
You are a stockman, and your in.

your stock, the employees that look
after your stock, your family and
yourself. All of these are in danger of

cessful in preventing the disease.
Some of yours may be among the un-
successful ones. Will you do your
share in protecting your own?
In this disease the greatest danger
to stock is from the coyote. The
greatest to the people is from the dog.
The denser the population and the
greater the number of dogs or coyotes
in any community the greater is the
danger II the disease once appears in
that community. Children are more
attacked by dogs than arc
adults. Protect your own children.
The only way to prevent the spread of
the disease Is to muzzle all dogs and
to kill as many coyotes as possible!
Will you help in the efforts that are
being made? You may do this by
1. Muzzling your own dogs.
2. Muzzling the dogs of your en-
ployees.
3. Urging your neighbor to muzzle
his dog.
4. Killing every coyote possible.
5. Reporting cases or suspected
cases of rabies in animals to-
DR.. w. B. Mack, Veterinary
Department, University of
Nevada, Reno. If the animal
under suspicion is killed send
the head for examination as
directed in the circular.
6. Urging every person to take all
possible precaution and above

Immediately apply for advice

EDINBURGH, Scotland.-A striking
illustration of the increase in value OF
shipping since 1914 is given in a will
contest now before the Edinburgh
courts. The estate involved is that of
John Gall. a Glasgow shipowner, who
died in December 1914 At the date
of his death his property was officially
valued at slightly over 100000. The
division of the estate was prevented
by litigation among the heirs and 1t
was stated at the final hearing in the
case that the value of the property
has increased during the time devoted
to legal wrangling to over q million
dollars. ~ t s.

ROGER ABSENT At
CLEVELAND MEET
American Association Club Owners
Expect Session With Bresnahan
i'm Chicago Today.

Cleveland, Ohio, Feb 26.-Nothing
official toward the disposition of the
Spiders was accomplished at yester-
days meeting of the American asso-
citation here, but several of the club
owners expect to meet Roger Bresna-
han today in Chicago. They will urge
Sir Rajah to affect some sort of a
compromise with Owner Weeghman
Of the Cubs, so that he will be free to
take over the Spiders and transfer
them to Toledo.
Bresnahan wasn't at the meeting
yesterday, disappointing the owners
of seven American association clubs
who were prepared to back him to the
limit. John Camel was present with
an offer for the Spiders. Miller Hug
gins, manager of the st. Louis Cardi-
nails, submitted a proposition by mail.
Bresnahan was not heard from and
would not talk over long-distance
telephone to the magnates. Roger
was advised by his attorney not to
appear at meeting of the association
until he had affected some sort of a
compromise with Weeghman.
Higgins and Camel have about de-
cided to drop out of competition on
account of the attitude of Toledo news
papers, which have taken the position
that Bresnahan must be the manager.

SPEEDWAY RULERS
BUY RACING AUTOS

Chicago, Feb 26.-The purchase by
the directors of the Sioux City speed
way of two racing machines brings
the number of speedway-owned auto
mobiles up to II and guarantees the
entry of ten of these in events on
each of the tracks affiliated with the
Speedways Association of America. OF

four Of which are to be campaigned
by Rickenbacher under an agreement
with their maker that not more than
two will compete in any one race.
The s. A. AS purpose in purchasing
cars is to insure good fields, threat
ened with depletion by the embargo
on automobiles in European countries
involved in the war, as well as by the
refusal of some American manufac-
turers to carry on the sport.
The New York speedway has two
cars, both of French manufacture. 1t
is expected that the Chicago and other

ILIINI TO TACKLE
BADGERS ON TRACK

Urbana, H., Feb. 26,--Wisconsin s
conference outdoor track champions
make their first appearance Of the
year this afternoon in a final dual meet
with the Illini.
Wisconsin's superiority in the field
is it believed, will make an Illinois
victory difficult. Some close clashes
are expected in the track numbers.
Arlie Mucks is the class of the field
in the shot put and Huston Of Wiscon-
sin with a mark of II feet indoors in
the pole vault is practically conceded
that event.
Illinois students, however, hope for
the best in the dash, where Casey and
Smith of Wisconsin meet Holman of
Illinois and expect a close race in the
quarter between Williams of Wiscon-
sin and O'Meara, if the latter is able
to compete.
Ames, holder of the worlds record
in the hurdles, is not expected to have
to extend himself to take first place
for Illinois.
