JASPER COUNTY IN MODIFIED AREA

Stock May Bo Shippod for Inter state and Foreign Movement Without Any Inspection.

Good news for the stockmen was received by Dr. H- J- Kannal Tuesday, when Jasper county was placed In the modified area from the quarantine that was established several weeks ago. Inspections are no longer necessary and cattle, etc., may be Shipped to any pa«rt of the country. The Chicago yards, however, are still under quarantine against reSh fpm ent and this is regarded as the chief cause of prices remaining low. It is probable that complete restoration of business there will be retarded for some time, as the foot and mouth disease still exists in some parts of Illinois. The order which Dr. Kannal has been authorized to make is as follows: Notice to transportation companies and interested persons in Jasper county, IndianaJasper county is now known as a modified area-
