dreds of refugees arriving here re-
fused to eat bologna because it was
a meatless day. These refugees
tired and heartsick after hours OF

offering a box of chocolates to

MAY MOVE STOCK
Kansas to Be Relieved From
Federal Cattle Embargo.
Commissioner Mercer Hears
From the Government.
CAUSES BIG LOSS IN KANSAS
Hot Weather Has Ruined Pas
lures All Over the State.
Many Stockmen Have Been
Forced to Haul Water.

Relief for Kansas stockmen from
the federal embargo was promised to-
day in kilograms received by Joe Mer-
Ger, state live sanitary commissioner.
from federal sources. Mercer recently
protested to government departments
against the injustice to stockmen of
this state as a result of the federal
ban.
Kansas cattle men were compelled
to meet heavy losses as the result of
the embargo. Because of the recent
hot spell in this state. scores of pas
lures failed and in many localities
stock raisers were compelled to haul
water. Had the growers been COM
PEELED to hold their stock in the face
of this situation. they would have met
heavy losses. Assurances today, how
ever, were to the effect that relief is
to be offered at once.
Mercer left this afternoon for Kan
sas City, where he will investigate a
number of complaints concerning the
handling of livestock. Shippers have
charged that the railroads and stock
yards failed to care for shipments
promptly and shrinkages before cattle
were placed on the market cost Kan
sas shippers thousands of dollars.
