gave him u banquet
before he retired from the office of
governor. A number of eulogistic
talks were made in which he was
praised for his services, and an auto-
mobile was presented him. The tes-

Fort Worth, Texas.—Thousands of
dollars will bo saved Texas cattle
shippers annually by the recent rul-

eliminating a $1 bedding charge on
all stock ears moving within the
State and $2.50 uiarge for cleaning
and disinfecting cars loaded with

This announcement was made by
A. H. Priest, manager of the Live
Stock Traffic Association of For
Worth, which organization was large
ly responsible for the eliminating of
extra shipping charges through a
complaint filed with the State Rail
road Commission.
The charges were ordered in De
