T. Jones, ex-officio recorder of marks and brands, calling attention atten-tion to the fact that all owners of livestock within the state of Utah, shall within one year from May 15. 1921, send into the recorder ol marks and brands all recorded marks and brands used by them. Apparently a misunderstanding exists as a great number of our citizens citi-zens arc sending their applications and old certificates to the offico of the state auditor, who acted as recorder re-corder of marks and brands at the last re-recording period, May 15, 1911 to May 15, 1912, and the work-at work-at that time was under his supervision, super-vision, but the duties have since been transferred to the state board of agriculture. ag-riculture.

Any person desiring a mark or brand, who has not formerly owned a mark or brand need not write tor a blank form of application. A let- ter addressed giving tne design oi brand or mark desired accompanied by the recording fee will receive attention. at-tention. Should the recorder be unable un-able to record the mark or design of brand requested the party will be notified and a mark or brand similar simi-lar in design suggested, which is open op-en for record or the money returned.

No. 11, right jaw; No. 12. right 'side of neck; No. 13, right shoulder; No. 14, right ribs! No. 10, right hip and thigh. A fee of $1.50 shall be collected for each brand recorded for one position posi-tion and $1.00 for each additional position, provided that the fee for recording a brand to one person for the entire side of the animal shall be $4.00. A fee of $1.50 shall lie collected col-lected for recording each mark. It must be remembered that alter May 15th, 1922, regardless of date of certificate, all marks and brands not re-recorded are declared by law ab-. solete and their record null and void.
