Compliance Asked in Disease Fight

Resolutions asking compliance with the federal regulations for the control and eradication of the foot and mouth disease were passed by the United States Live Stock Sanitary Board association, from a meeting of which at Chicago Dr. L. Kigin, recently resigned state veterinarian, has just returned.

Although the foot and mouth disease occupied the center of the stage, according to Dr. Klgin, other subjects came in for their share of discussion by some of the most noted experts in the country.

The motion pictures taken by Dr. L. C. Klgin on the subject of 'Bovine Tuberculosis and Milk Sanitation' bid fair to become famous. The pictures, which compose some 2,000 feet of film, were taken at various points in Nebraska during the last year and were exhibited at the meeting of the Missouri Valley Veterinary Medical association at Kansas City this month.

Dr. Ransom, chief of the biological department of the government, has written Dr. Klgin, asking him to send the films to Washington that either duplicates or similar pictures may be made for use throughout the country. Wyoming and New York are two states that desire the pictures.

The state is pretty well covered in the pictures. Some model dairy barns are shown. Many of the scenes are laid in the South Omaha packing houses, where the cattle are seen on the killing floor. Tubercular lesions are viewed. The government inspectors are seen tracing out the diseased glands, and in fact the pictures are in themselves a liberal education on the particular subject which they cover.

Warren Pratt, superintendent of the Kearney Telephone company, and Guy Pratt, general superintendent of the Nebraska Telephone company, were in conference with the railway commissioners this morning trying to patch up a difference that has arisen between the two companies in the matter of tolls.

The Bell people have refused to receive, according to the informal complaint that has been filed, long distance telephone messages from the independent people at Kearney in exclusive Bell territory. The idea is said to be that both have toll lines for a part of the way.
