Iowa Live Stock and
Sanitary Board Given
Additional Powers

A bill charging the powers and
authority of the Iowa live stock and
sanitary board has been passed by
the Iowa state legislature, accord
ing to word received from A. F.
Stryker, secretary-trafic manager Of
the Omaha Live Stock exchange
1t is believed that the bill will
greatly benefit the local stock mar
ket and feeders of cattle in Iowa.
The bill appropriates 100000 for
the purpose of partially reimbursing
all owners Of cattle found to be tu-
bercular and slaughtered on that &C
count.
Iowa feeders have shown some
hesitation in sending their live stock
to local markets because the Iowa
sanitary board has subjected all live
stock to tuberculin test before al
lowing them to be taken onto farms.
If found to be tubercular they were
slaughtered and the feeder forced to
bear the whole loss.

mission Company to Hold
First Sale iq June.

Another horse commission firm
is to be established in South Omaha.
Messrs. Hilliker and Simpson, who
were the influential members of the
Omaha horse and mule commission
company in 1917, at which time they
severed their connection with the
old company, will return and occupy
one-haif of the horse barn and oper-
ate under the name of Hilliker &
Simpson.
Lack of competition has been one
OF the detrimental features of the
Omaha horse and mule market, it is
said With two firms operating on
this market, better service is as
sured all buyers and sellers. An
increased volume of business in this
market is anticipated since it re-
moves the objections of many
shippers as to lack of competition
and consequent poor service.
The new firm will hold its first
sale on June II. A big auction OF
western range horses will be held.
During the period of the war
Messrs. Hilliker and Simpson were
active in supplying the government
with horses.

FAKE REVIEWERS
FORCE VICTIMS
TO BUY TAX BOOKS
Statewide Search for Men
Said to Have Imperson-
ated Federal Officers
and Obtained Money.

Two men, representing them
selves as u. S. revenue collectors,
are said to be selling a special in
come tax account book to people
out in the state. according to infor-
nation received by George l..
LOOMS, collector of internal reve-
nue. at the federal building.
Police an d revenue officers are
searching for the men. The men, it
is said, approach their prospective
victim, announce themselves as rev.
enue collectors from Omaha, and
ask to look over the mans accounts.
They then inform him that he will
have to change his system and offer
him an account book for $3.50. If
the man fails to accept, they are
said I'd threaten him with fine of
from SIS to 500.
Detectives today secured an affi-
davif from an Ornahan, whose name
they refused to disclose, describing
the men and their manner of work
ing. In this affidavit the man re-
lates that he had received receipt
for $3.50 for the book he bought.
He declared that one of the men
had given the name of George L.
LOOMS and that both claimed to
be working from the Omaha inter-
nal revenue Office.
They seem to have confined
their activities to the poorer classes
of people," said Mr.. LOOMS. "As
near as | know they have been more
active in northern Nebraska than in
any other section of the state.

In Memory-Myron Murphy.

Pray not to keep him here
This little child with wonder in his
eyes,
Whose troubled soul looks forth
AS though in quest of its lost para
disc
He did but lose his way,
And wandered down the rugged
path to earth,
From fields Elysian;
And then in pain and travail gave
him birth
And now because they call
Those comrade souls who miss his
winsome smile
Weep not, o mother-heart;
This be thy joy: I held him close
awhile!'"
Myron james, only son of Frank
and Alice Petty Murphy, came into
this world on his fathers birthday,
June 16, 1912. He was delicate
babe, a fair, sweet blossom that must
need be cherished and sheltered with
tenderest care. But guarded and
guided and nurtured with every at
tention that love could bestow, the
little body gradually grew stronger
and developed many precious gifts
of mind and heart, and the fond par
ents looked forward to their maturi-
ty with buoyant hope and expectation.
With all the bestOwals of love and
tenderness Myron was unspOiled.
Sweet, kind and gentle, never fret
full, never demanding, happy, and
wanting always to please, he crept in
to the hearts of the neighborhood,
loved by ALL He entered school last
September, never missing until at
tackled with influenza. After a week
of intense suffering, on Feb II, 1919,
the pure soul took its flight to go out
no more forever from its native fields
of delight among the flowers of i'm
mortal beauty Only those thus be-
reft can know the desolation of the
parents hearts. His songs, his story
time, his little prayers at mothers
knee, and the thousands of endear-
ments that made him SO beloved, are
now priceless memories, sacred in
many hearts. Brief services were
conducted at the home by Rev. Camp
bell with music by the M. E. quar-
tet. The little white casket, flower
decked. was carried to Hillside and
until the day break and the shadows
flee away" the precious dust is safe
ly sleeping. With the stricken par
ents there mourn the little sister,
Marjorie, grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Petty, uncles, aunts and many
friends.
This is said of the Savior's love for
little children: "And He took them in
to his arms, put His hands upon them
and blessed them" For of
such is the Kingdom"

Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy wish to thank

kindnesses rendered, in their late

The Printed "Card Of Thanks"
Keota EAGLE


A late fad among the would-be up
pish people is to send an engraved
card of thanks to folks who have as
sisted at funeral. At the risk of a
slight loss in our job department we
say, cut it out as far as we are con-
cerned. If fate so wills it that we may
in our humble capacity be privil-
eyed to be of any assistance at a flu
neral, we require no thanks. We are
Judging other people by ourselves
when we say that if such an occasion
arises we would not think it amiss if
we were to be thanked personally and
privately, or with note written with
pen or pencil on brown paper, but
we wish no canned thanks. In case
of our own decease-perish the
thought-we firmly believe there will
be many people who will cheerfully
postpone all their other recreations
to attend and assist with the obse-
quies, but they will get no canned
thanks if our wishes are respected.

NEW DENOMINATION
WAR SAVING STAMPS.

The new 500 and $1,000 war saw
ings stamps to be issued in a few
weeks by the the United States treas
ury department will be a part of the
1919 series and only 1919 stamps can
be exchanged for them, according to
word from Washington transmitted
from state headquarters.
These new stamps are now on the
government printing presses, and af-
ter the issue is completed the govern
ment will issue a certificate of sim
liar size probably, for which the 1918
war savings stamps may be exchang-
ed
The new denomination stamps are
designed to meet the popular demand
for short term government securities
of small size. They are really dis
counted notes signed by the govern
ment with the interest to date of ma
turity deducted by the buyer when
the purchase is made. They are cal
culated to make further bond issues
unnecessary, after the Fifth Liberty
or Victory Loan.

MAY EMPTY CITY

LANSING, Mich.-Au Sable, once

Tax Commission found make the rate
of taxation on property there S4,166

Anyone who desired to stay in the
city would be required to pay taxes
of SALT on every dollars worth of
ground that he owns. Rather than
do this, the inhabitants have announc-
ed their intention Of moving out.
The Iosco County Circuit Court
found that the old bonds were valid

the amount with accrued interest,
$51 ,534, be spread upon the tax roll
for this year. The assessed valua-
