mites in their immature state possess
only three pairs of legs, while in the
adult state they have four. The head,
thorax and abdomen are not separated.
The mouth parts are represented by
mandibles or jaws. The skin surface
is covered with scales, hair or spikes.
The bureau of animal industry of the
department of agriculture recommends
that all cattle infested with mango or
scabies be treated in much the same
manner as sheep, by dipping. Of course
it will be a harder proposition to
handle cattle in dipping than sheep,
but where the number of animals is
not too great good and comparatively
cheap dipping tank can be constructed.
1t would be advisable for number OF
cattle owners to combine and erect
one good tank for the dipping OF all
the stock within a reasonable distance.
In brief, the principle is to put the
animals one at time, in strongly
built cage, carried by ropes and blocks
under a strong derrick 16 feet above
ground. Under the derrick there is
tank large enough to receive the
cage, and this tank is filled with the
dipping liquid. When the animal has
entered the cage and the gates been
secured the cage is lowered by means
of the ropes and blocks and the ami
NAL immersed in the dip for two min
utes, allowing only the nostrils above
the surface of the dip. 1t is recon-
mended that every part OF the body
and head be immersed little while,
but as the body is most affected 1t
should not be in the dip less than two
minutes. During that time it is best
to put every part of the body, includ-
ing the head, completely under twice.
Very bad cases should be hand-rubbed
and kept in the dip as long as four
minutes
The dipping vat is to be 10 feet deep,
4 feet wide and 9 feet in the ground.
1t should contain from 515 to 6 feet
of dip. At each corner there is a
standard by by 16 feet long, bolted
to tank inside, extending 6 feet inside
the tank, to act as guides for the cage.
At the sides of the standards, outside
and above the top of the tank, are
nailed by 6-inch plank feet long,
one edge flush with the end edge of
the standards. The cage is to fit in
side this and slide down when loaded.
At the top of standards by or by
6-inch braces cross, to keep the stand
ards from parting. The tank should
be built of Pinch plank and Joined
with a tongue, ends mortised in ana
the joints coated with lead, to make
it entirely water-tight. The tank, be-
ing placed in the ground and packed
solid, does not require much bracing.
The tank should be set on cement
bottom, with stone and mortar about
the sides.

should stand 16 feet above the ground.
The derrick posts are four feet in the
ground, being by by 20 feet long.
The posts are braced on three sides
with 4 by by 10 feet long, and the
cross piece at top is well braced to
the posts. At top of derrick put two
doubleIleaf 6-inch blocks, and at bot

A large number of the mer- chants and business men, in fact all thus far seen, have signed the agreement to close Monday, December 26, and Mon- day, January 2, the days follow ing Christmas and New Year, which are to be generally ob- served as holidays, owing to the fact that both Christmas and New Year fall upon Sunday.

James Edward Wilmans Passes Edwin Johnson and Holds First Place by Good Lead.
 Two More Coupon . Issues.

Master James Edward Will mans is again to the fore as lead CT of the bunch of pretty babies contesting for the locket, sup planting Edwin Johnson, who has for three weeks and three days held this position of van- tage. And he, too, breaks rec ord in polling the heaviest vote ever cast for a candidate in one day. His total of yesterday is increased by 1, 143 ballots to g. 216 or 500 odd votes ahead of his nearest competitor.
 Edwin Johnson drops back to second and Miss Jeanette Hen- ry moves up to third place with total of 1850. Wallace Dutton adds another 100 to his laurels, but falls back to the fourth col umn. Dorothy Stephens like wise polls a good vote, but rela- lively to the leaders drops back one point.
 Ernest Theodore Phillips re- ceived nearly half hundred .otes that had been sent by mistake to another office and only reached the proper ballot box Wednesday.
 Many of our subscribers have saved their votes from the start and should have fifty-one cou- pons when Friday evenings issue (the last containing ballots) has been delivered. So it may readily be seen, that with $50 city subscribers, to say nothing of our weekly list and coupons issued upon advertising, sub- scriptions and job work, large vote is still out, which if polled may considerably change the status of the contest.
 No votes will be received after Il a. m., (railroad time) Satur- day, December "A.

PISTOL TOTERS"
 MAY BECOME FELLOWS.

Responsive to a sentiment which has swept from Hopefield to Fort Smith and Moark to Texarkana, Senator J. A. Hinkle of Batesville will introduce at the approaching session of the legis- lature bill to make the carry ing of pistols punishable by both fine and imprisonment. There is reason to believe that such a measure will be passed at the coming session. The press of Arkansas, says the Little Rock Gazette, is almost a unit in ex- pressing approval of the proposal to make felons of pistol toters, and the idea that a law of that kind will be followed by great decrease of homicides has taken root throughout the state.

EX-GOVERNOR EAGLE
 PASSES AWAY.
Death Robs State of Eminent and Beloved Citizen and Church of One of Its Modest
 and Jealous Workers.

Little Rock, Dec. 20. -EX-Gov. James P. Eagle, president of the Southern Baptist convention, and one of the noblest and most dis tinguished men of the south, died at his home at 219 East Seventh street at 6:35 a. m. today. The funeral will be held at the resi- dence at 2 p. m. tomorrow, and the interment will be at Mount Holly, beside his wife, Mary Kavanaugh Oldham Eagle, who died February 15, 1903.
 Gov. Eagle had been i'll three weeks yesterday, with compli- cation of ailments. He had been in decline for several months, but did not take to his bed until three weeks ago. It is said that three years ago, when he. was-se- verely i'll, he prayed that he might live another three years, as he did not consider that his work had yet been done.
 Recently he remarked to an inti- mate friend that his time was al- most up.- Since the death of his beloved wife and helpmeet he had seemed to lose much of his interest in the affairs of the world, and devoted himself even more earnestly, if that were pos sible, to the affairs of the church. He had a handsome monument erected oyer his wife's grave, with his name as well as hers, engraved upon it, declaring that it would not be long until he were laid beside her.
 For several years Gov. Eagle has devoted his time to church work and the supervision of his plantation. He had recently as- sisted in holding numerous re- vival meetings throughout the state, and his labors had always been attended by the most mark ed successes.
 Three weeks ago he became i'll and he seemed to realize that the end was coming. For several weeks he was a devoted watcher at the bedside of his brother, Col. w. H. Eagle, who still lies critically i'll at his home only a block away. Last. Friday Gov. Eagle became unconscious and since that time had been in, comatose condition. Once yes terday it was thought that he murmured beloved name and then his lips were again silent.
 Yesterday morning he began sinking and the silent watchers knew the end was fast approach ing. Throughout the night they watched and waited for the white-robed angels to come for him, and at 6:35 a. m. the sum- mons came.
 And now comes the summons, Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joys of thy Lord"

survived the balloon accident, but he
was declared legally dead.
When Nine. Nordica came to New
York in 1894 to begin her season at the
Metropolitan opera house there were
rumors of her engagement to Herr
Doehme, which she confirmed. The mar
riage took place on May rs, 1896, in In
dianapolis, at the close of the musical
festival. Herr Doehme is a member of
a prominent Hungarian family, young
and of exceptional good looks. He pos
sesses a fine voice, and he has appeared
as Parsifal at B%ayreuth.
Nine. Nordica was in this country last
fall while her husband remained abroad.
There were rumors that while in Paris
he was too attentive to a prima donna
of worldwide fame, but Nine, Nordica
emphatically denied the charge in a
friendly letter to the woman named.
When Herr Doehme arrived in New
York city early last December the sum-
mons and complaint in his wife's suit was
served upon him. Up to that time he
believed that the differences with her
could be reconciled, and the service of
the divorce papers shocked him so that
he spent several weeks in a s%anitarium
in New York.

OLD DEED JUST RECORDED.
The Instrument Was Executed Eighty
Years Ago and Disposed of
Maine Lands.

A real estate deed 50 years old, which
had been recorded, was filed in the
Cumberland (Me.) county registry the
other day. 1t related to the conveyance
of a large tract of land in Windham,
sold by James Yetton, of New Glouces-
ter, to Cyrus Wilson, of Cumberland,
February %, 1922, for 500. The land
having passed from father to son and
there having been no occasion for look
ing up the title of ownership, the fact
that the instrument had not been record
ed was not known by it's present owner
until the made the discovery, and has
tened to comply with the important
formality. All Of the persons named in
the deed, including the grantor, grantee,
four witnesses and the justice Of the
peace before whom the oath was taken,
have long been dead.

THE WORST OF NUISANCES
The Women Who Regards Herself as
a Martyr Is the Most Disa-
greeable of Her Sex.

or all the disagreeable types of woman
Kind, the one who regards herself as a
martyr is the most Objectionable, for the
simple reason hat she has nothing in
the world to worry about, and is a fraud
of the deepest dye, reveling in imaginary
diseases and phantom ills that never
cross the shadow of her life's door
sill.
She is generally a woman with plenty
of time hanging heavily on her hands,
and is always sick or wrong. If it is not
disease that has wasted her form away
she goes about carrying a secret sorrow
with her, and if one would but believe
all she says it would seem that she were
a victim of all the doleful episodes that
could be imagined.
Such people need waking up. Give
them a purpose in life, and the ills and
worries will vanish in the background.
Work will do more for them than all the
bottles of medicine which they so assid-
uously swallow, and when life assumes
brighter prospects their friends will
be pleased to listen to what they say,
for it will then be untinged by any
cloud formed by a diseased Imagination.
When such people cannot be interested
in the affairs of others present them with
something that will interest them in a
personal hobby as the next best thing

THE FATE OF LAZY GIRLS.
Unless They Preserve Their Bodies by
Physical Exercise They Are
Bound to Rust Out.

The lazy girl will not obey the
promptings of nature to use.her limbs
and faculties as it was intended that
she should use them, says a writer for
the Boston Journal. She infinitely pre-
fers tololl about, reading rubDishy books
which make no call on her mental facul-
ties, absorbing caramels or chocolates
she does not require, thus starving her
mind and overlooking her body at one
and the same moment. By doing this
she tends to lay on an excess of fatty It's
sue, which soon robs her youthful figure
Of any dainty charm it might possess,
her digestive organs become deranged,
the liver becomes sluggish and her COM
plexion assumes a sallow tint that adds
years to her looks.
A vacant mind gazes abstractedly
through the lack-luster eyes of the girl
who is too lazy even to think, and adds
still further to her prematurely aged and
world-worn appearance.
Her heart and lungs get lazy, too; hen
circulation is barely brisk enough to keep
things going-hence she is often a
martyr to cold feet and an ~overheated
nose-and she is apt to be scant of breath.
Thus she becomes a sort of bad carica-
ture of old age; she has all it's defects
with none of its redeeming qualities.
If the lazy girl would keep her girlish
looks she must lose her ~laziness, for
enduring partnership. She must exercise
both her body and her mind in a rational
manner
1t is a matter of everyday observation
that it is the brisk, busting women of
business or of society who longest retain
their youthful charm. 1t is the thinkers
and workers who retain their powers of
fascination when the drones have long
since laid themselves, or been laid, on
the shelf.
That is a striking phrase, 1.-THE joy of
living" 1t is a joy that the lazy girl
can seldom feel, for it is only known to
those girls who use life rightly and who
will go through fire and water to realize
their high ambitions. A healthy life is
a perpetual joy, and it can be healthy
only if it is full of constant striving and
doing.
The lazy girl must set her bodily tenn
pie in order. She may not have a motor,
Il carriage, a bicycle, or a horse, but she
can always use her feet. She must walk,
and walk with a will and with a purpose
in view. She should adopt a hobby, no
matter what; painting, music, poultry
keeping, rowing-anything. in short,
that will give her bodily and mental en-
ployment.
