fishhook, Il bottle, bride bits. a frying
pan, pitchfork and even comet may
be seen among the long list of brands.
"scuple' indicates that the ranch
owner was a druggist before becoming
cattleman. Hearts, diamonds and
clubs are found among the records of
brands, but the spades are those Of
agricultural designs
The tendency is toward smaller
brands. Branding causes cattle to
lose in weight, and the larger the brand
the greater the suffering OF the cattle
and the greater the loss of weight, so
the Old-time custom Of great brands,
covering tie whole side of a COW, is
passing away. Hides are more yalu-
able today, also, and the big brands
injure the leather.
The easiest brands to read are those
made with the stamp iron, that is, an
iron forged into the figure or charac-
ter desired. Sometimes the cowboys
encounter maverick far from head
quarters, and in the eXigency of the
occasion an iron rod Is heated and

TO FIGHT REPEAL
OF DAYLIGHT LAW

Repeal Of the daylight savings law.
with its lineup Of the city man
against the farmer, is due to cause a
real legislative fight when it is called
up in the House, probably late today.
Advocates of the repeal, attempting
TO restore the old system by a rider
on the agricultural appropriation. are
certain to meet stiff opposition from
the city districts, but they are pre-
pared to press the issue through a
special rule promised them by the
House Rules Committee
Daylight savings advocates are not
very hopeful of defeating the repeal
in the House, but believe it will fail
in the Senate. Senator Calder, chief
hacker of the original bill, is certain
of its failure there.
Charles E. Newton, attorney general
of New York, is scheduled to appear
before the House Rules Committee
to urge continuance of the plan on
the grounds that it has been very
beneficial in his State.
