I fiebraska STOCK MEN ACT * FOR PROTECTION aResolutions Adopted by Growers . Ask Investigation of Cost of Production. PRAISE MARKET COMMITTEE Alliance, Neb,, June 22.—(Special.) —The closing session of the twenty- second annual convention of the Ne- braska Stock Growers’ association was full of interest for those in at- tendance. Aside from the meeting of the stock raisers, feeders, ranchers and commission men, ‘speakers were ¥ secured to handle subjects of interest to those in any way engaged in the stock or cattle business. This association, the prifnary ob- ject of which was to protect its mem- ers from cattle ‘thieves has grown to be an important factor along ed- ucational lines to the stockmen and these annual conventions are yearly being considered more and more from a business and educational standpoint instead of formerly an annual frontier celebration. For this reason the asso- ciation this year requésted that Alli- ance refrain from the usual carnival of amusement and at the closing session it was decide@§ that more was ac- camplished at this than at any previ- ous convention of the asseciation where amusements were the main fea- ture. However, after the two days' convention work, the grand ball given last night in honor of the stockmen with an invitation to “go their best” proved to be a pleasant climax to the most successful convention in the history of.the association. The Resolutions. he following resolutions were adopted at the afternoon session:, Whereas, The American National Live Btock assoclation has as one of its import- ant committees, one known as the market committes, and, ‘Whereas, This committee has already done = large amount of work of great importance to the live stock industry, and, Whegeas, There is yet much to be done along this’ line; therefore be it, Resolved, That ndorse -the work al- ready_donk /by this committee, have the utmost * confidence in the labllity and per- !‘onll intergrity of its | members and we eartily recommend the financial and other support of each and every live stock owner in assisting m in’ every possible manner for the further ‘advancement of this work. ‘Whereas, There is a demand and urgent need for funds to geet current expenses-the wercetary-treasurer's report shows larg amount due the association from delinquent members, Therefore be it resloved, That the secre- tary-treasurer be instructed to collect all past due assessments by September 1, 1916, those falling to pay their assessments to be deprived of market inspection until such time as their delinquent assessments have been paid, Help National Assoclatibn. ‘Whereas, At the El Paso meeting of the American Live Stock association, January 26, 26, and 37, 19| this and other annual subscriptio -~ ‘Whereas, This assoclation has for a num- ber of years given $300 per annum, therefore be it ‘ Resolved, “Ihat the escertary-treasurer be authorized to pay the American National ‘Live Stock ‘association the sum of $300 for the year 1916, ‘Whereas Prior to this year's meeting the officers of the ation requested the ns for thelr usual eitisens of Alliance to refrain from holding |' l‘!rnt-hll of carnival during the meeting and, - Whereas, This request has been most graciously acceeded to by the citizens of Alliance, and, ‘Whereas, This has been one of the most successful business meetings of the associ- ation held in Years, therefore be it Resolved, That we most heartily thank the citizens of Alllance for their unfalling cour- tesy and the msny kindnesses the assoclation. To Investigate Cost. ‘Whereas, It has been claimed by certain interests that are opposed to the investiga- tions of the market committee of the Amer- ican National Live Btock association, that the reason feeders of live stock in the corn belt have lost money, is, that they pald l\.::o'much for their teeding cattle; therefore t Resolved, By the Nebraska Stock Growers' assoclation in convention assembled the Z1st y of June, 1916, at. Alliance, Neb, that respectfully ask the Department ' of culture at Washington and the agri cultural college of the state of Nebraska to investigate the cost of production of cattle and fattening them for market to the en that correct information may be obtained, Resolved further, That we recommend the comprehensive work now being done bv of state experiment station along this line and urge adequate appropriations to carry on this work, \ Unfalr Exsction. ‘Whereas, The Chicago Live Stock exchange has recently adopted a rule which will compel the rallroads effective July 1, to pay to the commission men 60 cents per car for the furnishing by them of hoof weights on all live stock sold on the Chi- cago market; and, 4 blelve this is an unfair exac- art of the commission men, and will ultimately in some form be assess~ ed against the shipper, therefore, be it Resolyed, That we condemn the action of the Chicago Live Stock exchange in im- posing this additional tax for a service for which the commission men are now well paid in the commission charge and we urge a prompt reconsideration of this action, and that the rule providing for sald charge be_rescinded. / Resolved further, That the secretary of this assoclation be directed to send a copy of this resolution ,fo the president of the ‘Chicago Live Btock exchange. Offlcers. ‘Whereas, The officers ofthe assoclation have, during the last year, glven much of their time and4abor to the work of the asso- t ved, That we extend a vote of thanks to them in recognition of‘their loyal and efficlent services. Be it turther resolved, That s vote of thanks be extended to the Sloux City and fhe ' South Omaha hive Stock exchangs for their . co-operation in all matters pertaining to the live stock Industry, and be it further, Roived, That & Yote of thanks b and is herehy extended to the efficient services of our live stock ‘nspectors at the various markets, # ¢ ‘We appreciate shd wish to thank e bureau of animal ustry for the interest that they have t in, the welfare of live stock industry by sending Dr. Marsh to advise with us in regard to the curtall- ment and oradication of the blackleg plague apd other diseases. /We also wish to thank the ‘State Agricul- tural college for their kindness in sending Dr. Lee to address and *confer with us in matters partaining to “Animal Industry.” BOGUS CHECK OPERATOR CAPTURED AT HAZARD Ravenna, Neb., June 22—(Special.) «—A bogus check operator was run down and captured by citizens of st west of Ravenna, yester- stranger presented a check $60 on the Sweetwater State nk, the check bearing the supgposed ure of a well-known farmer, Louis Larson, who lives-between the two towns.

P ‘ IMPROVEMENTS BEING PLANNED (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, June ' 22—(Special)— There has been some criticism of the State Board of Agriculture for per- mitting the National Guard to mob- ilize on the state fair grounds. Speaking of the matter this after- noon, Secretary Mellor said that -an agreement had eben entered into by the state board with the War depart- ment in July, 1910, in -which the rounds could be used for mobiliza- fon purposes, This action has never been reconsidered. The state board has taken action re- garding th eold ‘shacks on the west side of Main street which haye been an eyesore for so long, which will be received with much satisfactipn by state fair visitors, These old buildings are to be torn down the entire length of the street and in place of them a large building erected to be divided into sections for wse of concessions. This will help the appearance -of the street and at the same time give the people better places to eat. . / Ancther “War" .

Yet every time a mother gives her child a cup of coffge she is giving it from one to three grains of a drug—caffeine.
