Special Attorney Makes Startling Disclosures in Connection With
 Investigation of Packers.
Associated Press Dispatch.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 Washington, Jan. 26.-Francis J. Heney, special counsel of the Federal Trade Commission, investigation of meat packing industry, today charged the big packing interests with at tempting to bring influence to bear on Trident Wilson and have the pres ent investigation stopped. He told the commission he would show later that a joint telegram was sent by De- troit1 bankers protesting that the in- quiry disturbing economy conditions had been inspire,l ty the packers.
 Heney told the commission that Armour & Company were found to be in control of the street railway in Kansas City. He asserted the con- trol of packers over the financial in stitutions had reached such an ex- tent that when independent packers recently asked a loan of one of the New York banks the bank wrote to them as "Wilson of the Wilson Com pany" asking if credit should be ex- tended. He also said evidence that the packers had influence over the tin industry was discovered in state- ments made in connection with his reading of confidential documents taken from the files of Chicago packers, showing the packers had planned an elaborate campaign dur ing 1916 to influence congressman against ordering the inquiry.

'GINNERS' LAW
 TO BE CHANGED
Commissioner Page Says Administra- ton of Law Will Render Greater
 Service As Result.
Special to The Independent.

Special to The Independent.
 Little Rock, Jan. Commission CT John H. Page announces that next year there will be some changes made in the administration of the ginners' law, designed to render a greater service to the ginners.
 Under the ginners' regulation law, the ginners have been required to take two gin samples of each bale, one to be given the customer, and the other to be sent the Department. Next season, one sample will be required to be sent immediately to the depart ment that it may be graded and clas- sified, and report of the grade, with serial number of the bale, mailed di- rect to the producer. By this means, the owner will be enabled to sell each bale of his cotton with an accurate knowledge of the classification. The department has been unable to rem der this service as completely as they wished during the past year, as the law was in an experimental stage, and the department was short of men. It has been of great service to the farmers, and it is our purpose to make it a greater service"

And Suggestions Of Value to
Southern Utahns.
ALABAMA CONFERENCE.

Alabama Conference, May a, 1918.
THE IRON COUNTY RECORD, Ce-
dar City, Utah.
DEAR EDITOR: This past week,
while looking over the newspapers for
items of kindred interest, / saw that
Utah was the second state to go "over
the top" in sacrificing for Liberty
Bonds. Such an item of patriotism
cannot be covered or allowed to go
unnoticed. The question has been
asked of. us several times, as Utah
in the War;" "How does your home
state stand in proportion to other
states and also "Why is it that
Utah has oversubscribed every issue
of the Liberty Bonds ?" How proud
it makes us feel to give the reassur-
ring answer of true patriotism on the
part of our fellow statesmen and
loved onesl These are but few Of
the many questions asked US; so you
can see that Utah has attracted wide
attention by her loyalty.
Over a month ago | saw in the
Montgomery Advertiser, large pa
per, the pictures Of eight Mormon"
mothers who had from two to five
sons each in the expeditionary forces
in France. A long article accompan-
led the pictures bespeaking the loyal
ty of those mothers to the cause Of
liberty and concluding with: "Patrio-
tism to National Service mas Become
the aliant Quality of the Mormon
People" The author had written it:
"has become;" supplant the phrase:
always has been"
| believe in showing the good quail
tiles and making them known wheth-
er they be of person, church, town,
state or nation; and not waiting UNI
til they have passed away to try TO
encourage them; hence this brief par
agraph of facts. I hope that they
will prove of use and food for thought
for all citizens; Utahns, and Ameri-
cans. 1t often does a man good to
tell him what others think of him.

B-r-r-r-r-r, but its cold and windy
and disagreeable. We went calling
with Miss Grace Magnussen over to
Mr.. and Mrs. Hedrick's Wednesday
night and got rained on coming home.
Also after seeing Miss Magnussen
safely home and after putting up our
horse we started to walk one-half
mile home across the desert in the
wind and rain and we succeeded in
loosing ourselves completely. After
wandering around for an hour we fin
ally found our cabin. We also stepped
in a badger hole and quickly struck
our face in a sage brush and our nose
in the dirt. Wet, muddy, weary and
mad we finally arrived home as the
clock pointed to midnight.
We just heard story (true) from
sunny California au nent a chicken,
or rather, chickens. One of our
friends is staying with relatives in
Los Angeles and recently n breach
was lost. A chicken was accused and
off came it's head. But it proved in
nocent so the process was repeated
with another chicken however. Same
results, and so on much to the de-
light of our friend who was enjoying
series of fine chicken dinners, after
desert fare, a perfertly realized
dream, until, unfortunately the broacf
was found where it had been dropped
and the slaughter of the innocents
ceased.
Our Riddles are busily preparing
for exercises the last day of school

after the surprise had been sprung
and considering the material they ha,
to work with, the result was yer,

HOW TO DEHORN CATTLE
Operation Is Simple and Easy When
Performed on Calves Four
to Ten Days Old.

Dehorning cattle is almost univer-
sally practiced by stockmen who raise
high grade steers. Cattle without
horns, says a publication of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, are easier to handle, have an
equal chance at the feed troughs when
placed in the feed lots, are less dan
gerous to attendants, and are more
uniform in appearance. Also, they
can not gore one another in the feed
lot or in transit to market, which
causes greater shrinkage in weight,
Injuries the skin for commercial pur-
poses, and leaves the flesh in bruised
condition, thus detracting from it's
value
A Simple Method.
While there are many cruel ways
of performing this operation, accord
ing to the Department of Agriculture,
one of the simplest and easiest meth
DDS is to use caustic, either soda or
potash, on the undeveloped horns of
the calves. To obtain the best results,
the caustic should be applied when
the calf is from to 10 days old. Clip
the hair from around the knobs where
the horns are developing. With a
slightly moistened stick of caustic,
rub each horn alternately three or
four times, allowing it to dry each
time before applying the next. Ex-
IRENE care should be taken not to
have the stick so wet that the solu-
tion from it will run down the side
of the calf's head, To prevent the
spread of the caustic, which will cause
sores on the skin, apply vaseline
around the edge where the hair has
been clipped.
For older cattle, where the horns
have developed, either saws or clip
pers should be used, 1t is best to use
the clippers on the young animals
when tn horns are still soft and ten
der, but with older animals which
have hard, brittle horns the saw
should be used. While the operation
can be performed with the clippers
quicker and with less pain, this in
strument is liable to crush the bone
in the older animals, causing a wound
that heals very slowly.
Time TO Perform the Operation.
Cattle should never be dehorned
during warm weather, spring beng
the best time to perform the opera
ton. If delayed too long in the sea
son. the wound may become infested
with screw worms, and flyS are very
annoying Either coal tar or pine tar
applied to the wound will prevent fly
injury If screw worms appear in
spite Of all precautions, they may be
removed 10y saturating piece of alb
sorbant cotton in chloroform and in
sorting it into the wound, or by pour
