desired Information, which if so it
will be presented. showing in few
items the main points of interest as
to number of cattle in county; num-
Der dipped; number of watts; number
vet undipped if any. and number OF
unknown range cattle ii any there
be, etc.

their business causes him to make
occec ;onal visits up there. And two

When he was passing through their

tice the atrocities OF which they have
been guilty in their Belgium and
other campaigns.

in for his mule bv the time that's
gone. 10 fact he saws that be has
been SO used to feeding home raised
stuff to bis animals and them TO eat

something first hand of the horrors
OF war too, and don't think it so
funny as some OF the lads OF this
