Excellent Condition
OF Our Maine Cattle

Boyden Bearce Of Augusta, live
stock sanitary commissioner. in a
communication sent out Tuesday to
the breeders Of pure bred stock, de-
clares that by careful estimate
there are between and 1 per cent
Of the cattle of Maine affected with
bovine tuberculosis, a lower ratio
than any other state can boast and
this has been brought about by con-
tinually wedding out the diseased
cattle by the tuberculin test method.
Il am calling your attention" says
Commissioner Bearce, in his COM
munication. TO Chapter IS of the
Revised Statutes which provides tina.
all persons selling pure bred cattle, or
cattle represented to be pure blood
ed. for breeding purposes, shall be-
fore delivery make a report to the
live stock sanitary commissioner,
upon blanks furnished by him upon
application. stating the number of
cattle sold. the age and sex and to
whom sold, and before delivery
thereof such cattle shall be tested
with tIberculin under the direction OF
and certificate of health given by
the live stock sanitary commissioners
unless such a test has been carried
out under his direction within one
year: but this provision shall not ap-
ply to calves less than six months
old.
This act further provides that such
certificates Of health shall be deliv-
cred by the buyer to the seller, and
whoever violates any provisions of
this section shall be punished by a
nm OF not less than twenty-five nor
more than thirty dollars for each Of
fence.
I believe this to be good law, 80
FAR as 1t goes. but agree fully with
many who think it unjust because it
does not include grades as well as
pure breds. And I believe that in
due time the people of the State of
Maine will be aroused and demand
that law be enacted requiring that
all cattle over six months ola, in
GLIDING both grades and pure breds,

the latest Goldwyn picture in which

On this train is a doctor-at least
that is what he calls himself, because
he is fleeing from a fancied crime.
Minnie makes eyes at him, but he
doesn't respond. She bowls with a

against Mitchell Goslin. Probable
cause was found in the nuisance
charge and a cash bond Of $500 was
furnished by Goslin for his appear

against eight boys ranging in age
from 10 to 16 years on the charge Of
stealing bathing suits owned by the

The theft took place early in July

the part Of Deputy Sheriff Elmer
