May Lift Quarantine.
AT the meeting OF the Iowa animal
health eorimissio held In. the office Of
the state Veterinarian today, the ques-
ton Of lifting the quarantine ban from
the state Of Illinois wass taken up. 1t
isarepotsed that Illinois is now free of
foot ana mouth disease and I've stock
shippers in the neighboring state. as
well as shippers OF farm produce which
has also been kept out are. exceedingly
to have the embargo lifted. Iowa
has maintained One of the strictest
guarantees against Illinois of anyssOf
thn middle west states. The authoii J
ties here ,eave repeatedly said tnat u
Illinois had sed prompt and effect,,'.,
quarantine measures when the foot and
mouth disease first broke out they
would have oided much Of the loss
which they have suffered because OF.
the spread of the disease. tt@
The commission is also considering
the matter Of making provision for ac-
credited herds-that is, herds which
have been tested by competent veter-
narians for the presence of tuberculosis
or other serious disease. If the pure
bred herds were SO tested and the re-.
suits of the test reported to. the state
veterinarians office then when any Of
the stock was sold certificate could
be issued from the state veterinarians
office as to, the health of the animal
. When pure bred stock is sold to go
into other states tuberculin test Is in
most cases required. but not go when
sold to some one living within the state.

for hog cholera and the state veterinar-
ian, DR.. J. I. Gibson says that Is the
principal reason why it. has been al
most impossible to stampgont hog cho.-
era in Iowa. / II - 49,. ~ + g.
It is probable the health commission
will be in session for two days. With
live stock becoming more valuable, all
the time and with the restrictions Of
outside states becoming more and more
stringent the Iowa Animal Health
Commission is likewise inclined to en-
force more of the sanitary and disease
sprevention rules than heretofore.
|. Shortages Of Labor Feared. e.
The state free employment bureau
TODAY sent out a warning to the effect
that improvements in Iowa this coming
year would be greatly hampered by a
shortage of labor unless there was a
careful distribution of common labor
thruout the state. The bureau asks that
all seeking work file their applications
with it and that employers seeking
help do likewise. All communications
should be addressed to the State Free
Employn1rt Bureau, State Capitol. Des
Nlo1nes, la. The statement Ivy the Du-
reau i'm part says:
"Late reports from the commissioner
of immigration how that many thou
sands of foreigners are leaving TING
country and that. but few are coming
in. This will cause a shortage OF COM
mon laborers during the coming sum
,ner and there will have to be a very
careful distribution Of common labor
thruout, the state of7 Iowa or improve
ments of all kinds will he greatly ham,
pered. The State Free Employment
Bureau is DESTROYS Of relieving this Sit
uation and with this idea in mind re-
quests that all who are seeking work
as ecommoni3 laborers file applications
with the bureau as soon as possible.
When. making application state name,
address, age, whether married or sim.
gle. nationality. whether or not you are
willing to work outside Of your own
city, and other information that, may
assist the bureau in placing an apph-.
cant in suitable position .sg, : !,
Employers who are now or who will
be in need of help of any kind are in
vited to use the services of@the bureau
in securing such help. When filing an
application for help, kindly send same
two, or three days before help is actually
needed so that the bureau wil1rhave an
opportunity to get in touch with appli-
cants in plenty of time.
This bureau is still receiving appli-
cations for farm help daily and ask that
all who are seeking positions on farms
file applications ut once. This applies
to both married and single men,,
