Warning to Cattlemen.

The dreaded disease, Blacklee,
has infested the cattle OF Dickson
and adjoining counties and bids
fair to reduce this important factor
to such an extent that il will only
make the food question the more
perplexing, and incur serious loss
to the farmer and cattle owner.
A little thought Mt the proper
time will prevent the loss, by the
timely use OF Blackleg Vaccine
The farmer or cattle owner that
doesn't vaccinate because IL has
not attacked his he,d is in the dark,
~ he is the very man that should
use preventative methods to curb
loss, and the man that has los, a
few head can only save thoas that
are not affected, as once they are
affected they never recover.
Ask those that haye vaceina.ed
and they will tell You in4t a. we
nave. Every calf or yearliug from
q months to two years old should
be yaccinated, a. this renders them
absolutely immune from Blackleg,
The loss Of one yearling would vac
vlnate $50 head, valulng the cost
at $40 %.
Heed this warning and immunixe
your 3 months to two vsar old
cattle, whether you have thss
disease near you or not. Heed this,
for it will attack your herd in a
day = time. We keep the l'lacklee
Pellets in stock. and will he glad II
have your telephone o, mail orders.
which will have immediate at

As last word OF warning, se,

EXTRA HELP FOR THE COVER
NOR'S OFFICE
In the last two years the steno-
graphic and clerical work in the
Governors Office has increased al
such a rapid rate that it is impossi-
bic for the present help to do this
work. however efficient they may be.
For the purpose of assisting the Sec
rotary, who is also secretary Of the
Board of Commissioners Of State In
situations. which Board has in it,
charge and management the various
public institutions Of the State, in
Guiding the State Prison Farm, the
Hospital for the Insane, the Indus
trial School for Boys, and other in
situations. it has been necessary to
employ an extra stenographer. This
expense has been paid as other ex-
lenses of these institutions are paid,
and the employment has been an
emergency measure adopted by the
Board for the purpose of properly
serving the public interests. l,
therefore. recommend that the Gov
ernor's office have. in addition to the
secretary. an executive clerk at
800 per month and two stenograph-
ers at $50 per month each. This will
give the force two stenographers,
one executive clerk and one private
secretary, and the work will keep
them all busy.

FLAG LAW
Throughout the United States pa
triotism is rejuvenated and reincar-
mated in the hearts of the citizens of
this nation again. The noble senti-
ments that were felt for our flag are
now coming to the front as never
before since the civil war, and it be-
comes necessary for us to respect
both the American flag and the flag
of our State and give them more rev.
erence and devotion than we have
ever experienced before. Therefore.
recommend that a law be passed
causing the American flag and the
flag of our loved State to be put upon
every public school building and ev-
cry public building in the State of
Florida. these flags to be foated at
the instruction OF the custodian of
said building and in such weather as
will not destroy them.
PRIVILEGE TAX ON RIGHT TO
HOLD LANDS OR INTEREST IN
LANDS IN LARGE BODIES
1t seems to be the policy of this
State to impose tax in the nature
Of a privilege or license tax on the
right to engage in any business or
Occupation carried on in this State
There is, however, no tax on the
privilege of holding lands in this
State in large bodies for the purpose
of speculation or for other purposes
which prevent its development or use
fol agricultural purposes.
With information which all of us
have from actual exerience that all
classes OF food products are exorbi-
family high, that in the large CEN
ters of population in this country
women are rioting because their
children are hungry and starving, II
is apparent that 1t is the imperative
duty of those in authority to give
careful consideration to this matter,
to the end that some remedy may be
found for this condition A gov
eminent which fails to meet tie
needs of the people in a situation of
this kind is failing in its purpose
