PROVISIONS REGARDING
TESTING FOR TUBERCULOSIS
All Applications Must be in Be-
fore Veterinarian Starts Work
Each Locality.

Following the notice we gave you
last week relative to cattle testing for
tuberculosis, am enclosing state
ment of legal provisions for handling
this work which your readers may be
interested in. Applications for the
test will be received by the agricul-
tural committeeman in each locality in
the county or by the agricultural
office. The test will be made by the
State Veterinary Department free OF
charge. In case an animal reacts to
the test:
1. The animal will be appraised
by veterinarian CT the United States
bureau of animal industry of the
Washington state department of agri-
culture.
2. The animal must be slaughtered
under veterinary supervision and tire
salvage or proceeds of sale are paid
to owner.
8. The state department of agri-
culture will pay the owner. in addi-
ton to the salvage of the slaughtered
animal, an amount not to exceed $25
for grade cattle and not to exceed
$50 for purebred cattle.
4. The United States Bureau of
animal industry will pay an amount
not to exceed that paid by the state.
The owner of tuberculous cattle will
therefore receive:
1. Salvage from the tuberculosis
cattle (S5 per cent Of reactors last for
food.)
q. State indemnity.
8. Federal indemnity.
This arrangement makes it pos
sible for an owner Of stock who has
tuberculosis in his herd to get rid of
the animals without such heavy loss.
Applications must be in before the
Veterinarian starts work in each local
ity. In the past number have been
passed by because they asked for the
test after the Veterinarian had begun
work and made his first round. He was
unable to make these tests because it
would necessitate waste of the time
from the time of starting the test to
making the examination. Applications
can be phoned in to N. c. Bowles or
direct to the agricultural office

DID THEY FIGHT FOR BOOZE?

we are nearing good deal noW-a-
days about what the "boys will do to
prohibition when they get back from
France" The vets seem to think
that the soldiers will be able to save
the doomed traffic. Mine out of
every ten," declares booze adver-
tlsement, ARE against prohibition. Is
the freedom for which they fought at
Chateu Thierry to he taken from
them?" It asks
The idea that the American troops
were fighting for the liberty to drink
booze. is rather novel, especially in
view of the fact that they cheerfully
endured prohibition while in uniform,
and the further fact that more :han
half OF them come from territories
that have had no saloons for years.
It is hard for the vets to realize
that an institution of such great age
and power has been destroyed in this
country. But in spite of their resis-
lance and their threats it is gone,
never, never to return again, not ur-
less civilization reverses itself and the
aim of human government becomes
the promotion Of disease instead of
health, and misery instead of happi-
ness.

is not the slightest chanceI in the
world for us to withdraw from it
without stultifying ourselves.

HIS SWEETHEARTS TWO


One was the wife with the winsome
kiss,
One was the babe she bore;
These were the bringers of all hi.
These were his life and more.
Out of the laggard the lion grew,
This was the luck Of him;
Wooed by the wiles of his sweethearts
two,
Jenny and Little Jim.
He who had dozed in the shining sun
Woke with a sweet, new thrill;
He, with no record Of duty done,
Reused with a wish and will,
Reached to the plane of the higher
few,
This was the luck of him;
Charmed ito the truth by his sweet
hearts two,
Jenny and Little JIM
One was the wife with the winsone
One was the babe she bore:
Man may not know greater joy than
his,
Angels may ask no more.

1t is all piffle, this talk of surrender.
ing sovereignty. There is nothing to
it that any American need worry
about.
Then there is the Monroe Doctrine.
Is 1t to be cast aside by the League
of Nations? No! Its principle is to
be the cornerstone of the League,
and will be given world application.
With the covenants such as the ma
tons will enter into there will be no
danger of a foreign power ever again
seeking territory in any part Of the
American continent. The United
States will have no further need Of
being the big brother to the Gen.
trail and South American republics.
With the other nations of the world
we will be the protector of every free
country on earth, and that means
such countries as Poland will never
again be rent asunder by the reverses
of war.
President Wilson Started a big Job
in Europe, and it is to be hoped that
nothing will occur to prevent him
from returning to complete it. The
