$1,000 CLUB NOTES

The Association is advised of the
death of Mr.. Geo. II. Marshal who
has been Chief of the B. & l.. Divi-
sion of the State Department at
Lansing for a number of years. He
has been succeeded by his associate
Mr.. Robert c. Dexter who will in
future examine the books of the as
ISOLATION.
July l is semi-annual dividend
time. Club members should see that
all payments are up to date, and If
possible slip in a payment or two
extra. Payments up to July are
credited as Of June.
1t is quite surprising the amount
of building going on in the city de-
spite the high cost of building ma
terial and labor Among the new
dwellings. the club is assisting with
an even dozen. Twin Cities Reality
Co., is building ten, three of which
have been completed. lothian Allen
is building three on his addition.
Fred Slater has the s nearly COM
pleted out of eleven contemplated.
Other builders are busy. Notwith-
standing all this, the scarcity Of
dwellings continues.
The association has many calls for
loans at this season of the year. We
could loan more money for building
purposes if we had it. Borrowers
should not forget that they can make
just as large payments as they wish
and thus repay their loans the
quicker. Investors are requested
mot to say urged) to do their worst
by way of making extra payments.

Cut This Out and Take Ii with You
A man often forgets the exact
name Of the article he wishes TO pur-
chase, and as last resort takes
something else instead. That Is al
ways disappointing and unsatisfac-
tory. The safe way is to cut this out
and take il with you so as TO make
sure of getting Chamberlain's Tab

satisfactory for constipation and In

Half Million Cattle Tested For TB

From time to time the Bureau OF
Animal Industry publishes a "com-
munioue" showing conditions along the
wide battle front where the allied for
ces of Federal and State authorities
are fighting cattle tuberculosis.
The latest report indicates that since
the beginning of the movement in 1917
the owners of 500. 900 cattle have placed
their herds under supervision.
On April 10, 1920. 25, ,793 herds scat
tered throughout the United States,
with a total of 537, ,240 cattle. were un-
der the cooperative supervision OF the
Department of Agriculture and State
veterinarians. There were 2,23C ac-
| credited herds-6O, 237 cattle known to
be free from the plague. Over ll5,W9
cattle we're on the waiting list to be
tested as soon as the veterinarians can
work with them. Still another lot OF
258. .331 cattle have passed through the
first stage of the test without sho wing
any dangerous symptoms. The least
optimistic estimate indicates that two
thirds of this number will conclude the
j test satisfactorily, and add 10000 cat
tie to the accredited column.
