Owners of Automobiles.
The number of applications for
State automobile licenses received
daily at the State highway depart
ment has decreased materially and

past week or ten days. Prior to that

at the present time only about $50

The State highway engineer wishes
to call the attention of all automo-
bile and motorcycle owners through
out theState who have not yet made
application for licenses to the fact
that the time to secure these licenses
is very limited.an hewishes to urge
all of them to get their applications
in at the earliest possible date to
avoid delays and disappointments as
well as embarrassing situations with
the county officials after July l.
Up. to the present time only about
|l7,5OO owners licenses have been

three weeks remain before the S25

AMERICAN HORSES DIE IN FRANCE
Strange Malady Kills Thousands OF Ami

Strange Malady Kills Thousands OF AMI
mails Soon After Arrival There.
Washington, June 12~There is
great anxiety among horse shippers
over the heavy mortality in France
of horses sent from this country re-
Gently. The cause of the deaths is a
mystery, and experts have suggested
everything from a German plot to
some undiscovered malady.
The horses were shipped under the
most approved conditions, received
every care at sea and landed in
France in as good condition as could
be expected. Yet they soon become
afflicted with malady that proves
from 60 to 70 per cent fatal.
Death comes so rapidly that treat
ment is impossible. Horse dealers in
the hesouthern regions of France, where
the mortality has been greatest,sug
gest poisoning before the animals
leave the United States. In fifteen
months thousands of the horses have
died. Some veterinarians suggest an
infection of grippe.
DR. A D Melvin, of the Department
of Agriculture. thinks the horses have
died from forage poisoning" the
popular name for spinal meningitis
caused by mouldy feed, and that it
was contracted after they landed.
1t is probable that the Government
will soon have all shipments of horses
made under Federal supervision as
a precaution.
