ONE-THIRD FREED FROM TICKS
With Cooperation and Adequate funds the
Work May Be Completed In Two
or Three Years.
I
Very nearly one-third of the
state of Arkansas is now free from
ticks and the entire state, it is es
timated, can be released from
quanantine in two or three years if
adequate funds are forthcoming.
At the end of 1914, $251,279 had
been spent on the work of eradica
tion, of which $174,192 had been
expended by the Federal govern
ment, $76,295 by the state and
$884 by the various counties bene
fitted. It is impossible, however,
to estimate from these figures the
j cost of completing the task, for the
results of educational work are not
immediately apparent in the release
j of territory.
I Eradication would, it is said, be
facilitated by a greater concentra
tion of authority. At the present
time the Northern Arkansas Tick
Eradication association has charge
of the northern portion of the state
while elsewhere the state experi
ment station is in control. The
Federal authorites are therefore
compelled to cooperate with two
independent bodies whose methods
and policies are not always identi
cal. Cooperation between all per
sons concerned is vital to success.
The Federal government enforces
interstate quarantine, but is not
permitted Dy law to build dmping
vats nor supply dipping materials
except for experimental purposes.
The state and county officials must
do this work themselves, and they
must also enforce the quarantines
on indhrtdual farms whose owners
refuse to dip their stock in coun
ties where systematic eradication
work has been undertaken. The
necessity for those quarantines is
obvious. No systematic work is
undertaken in a county unless the
majority of the people agree that
they wish to make a determined
effort to rid themselves of the tick.
One obstinate man who refuses to
dip his cattle may keep the whole
county back, unless he is com
pelled to keep his stock at home.
At the end of 1914 there were
200 dipping vats in operation in
Arkansas, a number which com
pares somewhat unfavorably with
the 2,352 in Mississippi, which is
considerably greater than the num
ber in several other states. Sys
tematic cooperative work was done
during the year in Marion, Baxter.
Izard. Shaw, Independence, Cross
and Woodruff counties. In March.'
1915, Izard and Sharp counties
were freed while educational and!
demonstration work is being car
ried on in Crawford, Franklin and.
Searcy counties. It appears from
the above that Arkansas is alive to
the great loss that it has suffered in
previous years from the cattle tick.
In 1910, the census stated that
in round numbers there were 1.6
million cattle below the Texas
fever quarantine line as it then ex-,
isted, and that these cattle repre- j
sented something more than 2?0
million dollars. At that time -the
loss from Texas fever was approx
imately 13 per cent, or a trifle over
one-eighth of the total number of
cattle. Thirty-four million dollars,
therefore, was last annually in the
quarantine erea through deaths
alone. This takes no account of
the loss through shrinkage in milk,
discrimination in markets, stented
growth and other sources of waste
and loss.
Tuberculosis Increases.
Figures gathered by the United
States public health service indi
cate an increase in the number of
persons who are seeking climatic
treatment for tuberculosis. In ad
dition to the increase in the popu
lation of newly e&tablised open, air |
colonies, migration to the old re
sorts in the west is growins all the
while.
It is now estimated that the tu
berculosis population of Western
Texas and New Mexico is in ex
cess of 50,000. Practically every
resort city in the country is today
receiving more consumptives than
ever, though in most instances the
increase has not kept pace with
that of the population.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by lo;al applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased pomon c( tho ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
nnd th it is by constitution -1 remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you hive a rumbling sound or imperfect
lie-rlntf, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be tal:cn out and tills
tube restored to its normal _ condition.

Household Helps.
To remove oil spots from fabrics
I that have been damaged in this
[ manner at the sewing machine,
brush the fabric with talcum pow
der. Put it on both sides, let it
[ stand for a while, then brush it off
then apply it again. After two or
three applications the spot will dis
appear. The powder should be
used on the fresh oil, it is not so
effective on an old spot.
Sugar Sauce for Pudding. One
cupful of granulated sugar, half a
cupful of water a piece of butter
the size of a walnut. Boil all
together until it becomes the con
istency of syrup. Flavor with lem
| on or vanilla extract. A table
spoonful of lemon juice is an im
provement.
A Beautiful Tomato Salad. A
salad that not only tastes well, but
looks as well as it tastes, is called
tomato flower salad, and is made
as follows: Select smooth toma
toes and draw a star on the top of
each with a sharp knife. Cut this
star away and roll back the up
standing points that remain, so
that it will resemble a scarlet tu
lip. Put a spot of mayonnaise in
the heart of each tulip and serve
them upon beds of water cress.
' with leaves cut out of cucumbers.
Kitchen Kinks.
Brown sugar frosting which will
pot crack is made of one table
spoonful vinegar, brown sugar
enough to mix and beaten white of
half an egg. Beat all well togeth
er and add sugar enough to spread.
A pair of long wooden knitting
needles are most excellent for
draining doughnuts. As the dough
nuts are fried slip them on a needle
and when it is full rest it on the
top of a pan to cool. The dough
nuts do not crush and the lard
drains off.
Some men don't realize it but
women like love letters as well af
ter marriage as before.

July.
July gets its name from the Lat
in “Julius,” given it a long time ago
by the Romans who named the
month for Caius Julius Caesar.
But nobody cares anything about
where its name came from. The
natural wonder is, where does it
get its heat?
When July turns the sunshine
on, there's someting doing every- j
where. It seems that we'll surely
melt away and disappear into the]
air. It puts a blister on the neck
and plasters freckles o’er the face
I until we feel we surely must look
little else than a disgrace. We
look upon the clothes we wear and
wonder why 'tie so discreed we
can’t discard the whole shebang
and from their prickly heat be
freed.
July, too is the month of picnics.
A picnic is an excursion into the
woods, where we feed ourselves to
the ants, chigers and mosquitoes.
If it were not for picnic parties
| these insects might be extermi
I nated within a few years. Picnics,
j too. bring rains when all things
j else fail. Whenever a community
feels itself drying up all it needs do
is to plan a big picnic. It will in
variably bring a ram with it.
The first few days of July are
looked upon with apprehension by
all parents of boys, but if they re
main parents after the first four
days the suspense is alleviated and
they pay no more attention to him
until the next Fourth rolls arounds.
The movement for a “Sane
Fourth” is gaining favor every
year and its promoters now have
only to start another movement for
sane parents, when the nation's
birthdays will pass off as quietly as
a deaf and dumb pair’s wedding.

The Urn.
Some poets sing of grove and
glen; I sing the great American
hen. Let Dobson wiite of sweet
Babette, and I will write of Hen
riette. If Rostand can write
"Chanticler," why shouldn't I com
pose this here?
Although polygamous h°r life,
the hen is quite a model wife. She j
doesn't need an Easter Jnat. nor
shopping go for this and that. She
raises chicklets by the brood, and
I scratches to provide them food.
"patiehoe's without a nS'Sitcln
I when she a dozen eggs must hatch,
and when occasionally a duck is
born, with such a friendly cluck,
she seems to say, "How. now, my
daughter, for goodness sake, avoid
the water.” The duckling to the
water takes: then what a noise the
hen makes! She’ll stand upon the
shore and scold while Ducny Dad
dle leaves the fold and, swimming
out into the pond, quite flabber- j
gasts the mamma fond.
This question we will often meet:
“Why does a chicken cross the
street?” To which wiseacres have
replied: “To get upon that other
side.” She takes her life within
her hands when on the other side
she lands, and dodging the fast-fly
ing wheels of trolley cars, automo
biles and motorcyles, she will strive
into the jaws of death to dive.
She may be foolish, we'll admit,
and on a china egg may sit—our
grammer's wrong -we should say
"set," and with an awful stew and
fret, a new-laid egg will advertise.
(It surely pays to put youwise.) At
least she earns her bread and keep,
though others may the profit reap.
Explanation of Boundary.
Why the northern boundary of Dela
ware should have been circular in
form is often a source of wonderment.
It came about in this way: After Wil
liam Penn had obtained a grant of
Pennsylvania he was desirous of own
ing the land on the west bank of the
Delaware t* the sea. Me procured
from the duke of York, In 1682, a re
lease of all his titles and claims to
Newcastle and 12 miles around It. and
to the land between this tract and the
sea. A line tMat was the arc of a
circle of a 12-mile radius was then run
with Newcastle as a center. WJien the
three 'lower counties” on the Dela
ware became a state they retained this
boundary.

WHEN
HOT WEATHER
DOES SET IN,
You’ll find a good refrigerator very
prpfitable. The secret of buying a
reirigerator is to get one so well built
that heat can't get in and cold can’t
get out. Such a refrigerator saves
ice and keeps the temperature low
enough to save your food. The
LEONARD One Piece Porcelain and
THE RANNEY are good Refriger
ators. They have many unusual
points which cannot be found in any
other make. Our enormous output
enables us to buy two solid cars for
this season, thereby securing the low
est jobbing prices. This saving we
hand on to our trade, and it is an ad
vantage. which no other dealer in this
section is able to offer.
