ISLATION MIGHT BE REQUIR.
ED TO RELIEVE GOVERNMENT
OF EMBARRASSMENT OF VIO-
LATING OBLIGATIONS

Washington, June 30.-President
Harding signed today the annual
army appropriation bill directing re-
duction of the regular army to 15O,,
900 men by October /, but at the
same time advised Congress that in
his opinion further legislation might
be required to relieve the govern
ment of the embarrassment of vio-
lating it's obligations to enlisted men
whose discharge the reduction will
make nece ssary.
Because of a provision in the bill
forbidding the war department tu
exceed the actual amount appropri-
ated,. the President said, that if the
letter of the act were followed a
grave injustice might be done in the
dismissal of men who had enlisted
under a definite contract e.. =:
."The secretary OF war, saio the
President in the message to congress.
Twill seek to. avoid the creation of
any deficit, but if a probable deficit
develops in a just procedure to- re-

HOT WEATHER POINTERS
TO SHIPPERS OF HOGS

Atlanta, Ca, June 30.-Tc pre-
vent losses to hogs in transit during
hot. weather, the Live Stock Depart
ment of the Southern Railway Sys-
tenn has issued the following sugges-
tons to shippers:
Haul or drive hogs to station in
ample time to allow them to become
rested and cool before loading.
When ordering a car for loading
hogs, insist upon clean one bedded
with sand, clay and earth.
Wet thoroughly the bedding and
interior of the car before loading.
Give only a small feed Of grain be-
fore shipping. Heavy feed means
more body heat generated.
Load not more than one hour be-
fore the train is to depart.
Load slowly and carefully. Avoid
excitement and do not beat or bruise
the animals.
Load not to exceed $4,000 lbs, fat
hogs and $4,000 Tbs. stock hogs in a
standard SO #. car during the warm
weather.
Have water applied to the bedding
in the car at available points imme-
diately after the train stops.
Use ice on floor of car whenever
possible, three blocks to car.
Report inattention or neglect
promptly to Superintendent of
Division on which shipment origi.
/ Never throw water directly upon
hogs after they become heated. Run
it on. floor, Of car under hogs in.
