stored memory of our dead comrades.
We denounce such an attempt by
anyone, to fill their pockets by trying
to torn to their financial profit the

Down In Texas there Is a tradition
that twenty-five years ago a solitary
tnale specimen of India’s sacred ani-
mal was brought to tbe United States
and shipped south and that the strain
of breeding In cattle In tbe Lone Star
state has been better ever since. The
newcomers are destined for breeding
purposes In Texas.
It took six months to gather the lot
together, the work being done under
tbe supervision of Dr. Thompson of the
agricultural department In Washing-
ton, who accompanied the animals to
tbe United States. The hulls are Im-
mune from tbe disease caused by the
fly pest and are remarkably clean In
nppeurnnee, with their short hair and
the bumps on their tack*. They came
by sen from Bombay direct to Ham-
burg, whence they were transshipped.
