Tick Eradication ResuMed.

The Bureau of Animal Indus
try of the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture is resuming
active operations for the eradica
ton of the cattle ticks which
prevail in the southern part of
thecountry and transmit the
contagion Of Texas fever of cat
tie. Its men are being sent into
the field and preparations are
being made to push the work of
determination vigorously dur
ing the warm weather, when
the ticks are most active.
Since this work was begun,
two years ago, an area of about
$4,000 square miles, or almost
the size of the State Of Geogia,
has been freed from the ticks.
AS a result the quarantine on
southern cattle has been either
modified or entirely removed
from this area. Last year work
was done to a greater or less ex-
tent in the States of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas,
Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas, and
California, and it is proposed
this year to continue in the
same States with the addition
of small portions of Mississippi.
The work is being done by
cooperation between the Federal
Government and the State and
local authorities. Congress has
appropriated $25O,0O0 for the
year beginning July 1, and it is
expected that the States and
counties where the work is car
ried on will duplicate this sum.
The committee On appropriations
of the House of Representatives
expressed itself very strongly
to the effect that the States
should bear a reasonable share
of the cost and that the Federal
work should be mainly confined

LET Us Alone" is the slogan
prominent St. Louis business
men have adopted to revive Pros
perity and re-estahish conf
dence. The spread of the idea
will do more to bring people
to their senses and drive the
demagogues back to the oblivion
from which they came than any
thing else that could happen.
JUS as certain as "hard times"
talk is contagious and actually
does bring about the condition,
continuous talking Prosperity
is catching and is a sure cure
for the hard times disease.
NY 'ry has too much
wealth, too'mta,h property, too
much harvest on it's broad
fields, too many factories, too
much money that must be safely
invested for us to even think for
a moment hard times can per-
manently injure business.
Brush up against the fellow
with the Prosperity fever.
You'll get the germ and both
talk and feel Prosperous.

Dogs and Hydrophobia.

Whenever the summer seaso
comes we hear a good deal O
talk about hydrophobia an,
there Is no reason to doubt tina
the fear of this disease ba,
caused far more trouble and 40
ony than the disease itself, ane
valuable dogs which chance tt
TALL SICK IN a perfectly natura
way are ruthlessly put to death
because they slobber at the
mouth or manifest a tendency
to fits.
The New York Times is right
IN declaring that there is no rea-
son to be afraid of hydrophobia
now than there has been at any
time since the dog has been
mans best friend among the
lower animals. Those who have
made a study of what is termed
hydrophobia say that while dogs
are subject to fatal diseases,
hydrophobia is not common
among them. Indeed real cases
of rabies are 80 rare that some
authorities contend that there is
no such disease as hydrophobia
but the weight of evidence is
against this opinion.
There is much to be said, how
ever, in favor of the extermina-
ton of tramp dogs, because they
are not only a nuisance but they
unduly excite public alarm
whenever they viciously bite a
pedestrian, for the conclusion is
Immediately reached that the
dog is mad. Any person who
thinks enough of a dog to own
one as a pet or for household pro-
lection should be willing to paw
a license and to properly care
for the animals health, for it is
an established fact that in very
rare cases indeed is hydropho-
bia developed among dogs that
are we'll treated and we'll fed. |
So far there is no agreement |
Of medical opinion as to whether
the hysterical arrangement of
mind resulting from fear of n.y.
drophobia can cause death, but |
it seems that there is no doubt
about it greatly aggravating GER
tain forms of organic disease al
ready developed. The bite of a |
log will scare some people so
badly as to produce nervous
orostration, and if the bitten
persons happens to be afflicted
with an organic disease it is
quite easy to understand that
The results may be serious, if
lot fatal. IN. O. States.

The damage caused by the
ticks and the benefits to follow
from their eradication are not
generally appreciated. 1t is es-
timated that the Texas-fever
tick is responsible for about $40,
100000 Of loss annually to the
people of the infected country,
and that it also lowers the assets
of the South by an additional
1923, 100000, making the enorm-
Gus aggregate of 3,25O,O0O.
Literature giving full informa-
ton as to the ticks, the disease
which they transmit, and me-
thods for their eradication has
been issued by the Department
of Agriculture and will be sup
piled free of charge on applica-
ton to the Chief of the Bureau

Opportunity
BY JAMES J. INGALLS,.

Master of human deStnies am l.
Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait.
Cities and fields walk; penetrate
Deserts and seas remote and passing by
HOvel and mart and palace-soon or late
knock unbidden at every gate
If sleeping wake-if feasting, rise before
turn away 1t is the hour of fate
And they, who follow me, reach every state,
Mortals DESIRE and conquer every foe
Save death! But those who doubt or hesitate
Condemned to failure, penury and woe,
Seek me in vain, and uselessly implore;
answer not, and return more"
The Answer
BY JUDGE WALTER MALONE
They do me wrong who say come more,
When once knock and fail to find you in;
For every day stand outside your door,
And bid you wake and rise to win.
Wall not for precious chances passed away,
Weep not for golden ages on the wane;
Each night burn the records of the day;
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like boy at spendors that have sped;
To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb.
My judgments seal the dead past with the dead.
But never bind moment yet to come" ~

Dodging Duty.

Some folks say 1t is my duty, for
the Peerless one to vote; IL he isn't
chosen captain, our ship won't stay
afloat; but chap gets tired OF voting
for the man without peer; 1 can
always vote for Bryan, 30 I'll vote for
Taft this year. Change is sometimes
necessary, il this life we would enjoy,
and, although our sweetest boon is
voting for the Peerless Boy, yet some
little variation makes the landscape
seem less drear; can always vote for
Bryan, so I'll vote for Taft this year
Even though our children's children
hang their heads In deepest shame,
blushing for their rude forefathers
whs at one time jumped the game
who in gloomy desperation voted
down the peerless dear; We Gao vote
for Bryan always, so we'll vote for

Market Report.

Kansas City, MO. August ~, lsUS.
Cattle receipts last week were
little larger than In recent weeks,
but were still short of the normal
supply for tits season of the year
The market made a small advance on
gaass cattle, but medium grade of FED
steers lost 10 to is cents. Buyers
claim the grass steers are killing cut
better each week, and cost less money
relatively than medium fed steers.
Owners have been holding their cattle
back partly because of good pastures,
and the impression prevails that we
shall have heavy supplies during Sep
TENDER and October. Some traders
also believe that demand for feeders
will not be as heavy this fall as In
recent years Of good corn crops, &C
count Of the pruspe It's Of the high
price at which corn will sell. There
are the pessimistic views OF the situa-
ton, and do not coInside with the
Judgment of many owners, who hope
for better market later In the sea-
son. Run is $1,000 head today, In
Guiding $500 calves, market low to a
shade lower on steers, but strong on
other grades. Nothing very high
class is here today, but top steers
have sold at 1878 to s7.25 during the
last week, grass westerns worth 4.s5
to SIS. 10 with a few heavy steers above
this, grass cows $3.50 to $3.50, bulls
50. Is to SO. so. calves $3.50 to 1925.
About $50 car loads Of SUCKERS and
feeders went to the country last
week, and averaged steady for the
week, stockers at $3.50 TO s4.25, feeders
50 90 to "a. 10. few choice stockers at
IS. 10 and feeders up to $5.15. Market
on country kinds is strong to-day.
Hog receipts fell of last week, but
buyers maeaged to keep the market
down, excep: for bulge hrst of the
week, Run is 5000 here today, market
steady with the close OF last week,
top So 20, bulk So rs to $3.50, indicat-
Ing large proportion of the inferior
hogs. Provisions have been selling
enthusiastically, of so cents to SLIGO
last week, strong bear argument.
Pigs are bad sellers, 1915 to 1928.
Present prices are 20 to so cents above
year ago at this time.
hheep supplies are running aheao
of August last year, and the market
is Just about holding steady, with a
good many fluctuations, Run is $500
today, sheep steady, lambs weak,
lambs At s5.25 to 1915, not quite the
full test OF the market, yearlings
worth up to 81 so, wethers "a %, ewes
"a 90. There is quite demand for
stock grades, atsS.25 to $500. with a
few choice breeding ewes lately at
81 so.

How Mrs. Spider Cleans
House.

Like all housekeepers, Mrs. Spldel
has her cleaning day, but, urlikt
other cheerful housekeepers, she wear'
her fiue clothes when she works.
Maybe you have seen her all rugged
out in her yellow and black velvet
gown, sweeping and busting her web
but Just remember she Is not as ex-
travagant as she seems. Clothes never
bother her. She doesn't have to &C
| to a dressmaker's when she needs q
new gown. She has only to step out
Of her old, and, 10, just under it Is
fresh one oil ready made, and per-
feet fit.
No, Mrs. Spider is not extravagant
She is very economical, in fact; for,
instead of throwing aside her old
dresses, she rolls them into ball and
eats them.
There are no old.clothes men in the
spider world.
Well, to tell about Mrs. Spiders
housekeeping, she has neither brushes
nor brooms nor busters, so she begins
her work bv raising one OF her eight
claws and giving her house q shake
which reaches to every corner. She
is careful however, not to injure 1t,
but she makes the dust fly. When
this Is done to her satisfaction she
looks her web over, first from the top
tnen from the bottom, and then from
both sides If the walls sag, or are
the least bit broken. she rolls them
into ball and eats them, just as she
does her old clothes. Then she re-
places them by new ones.
When everything is in thorough
order she sits down for rest, and to
make her own toilet.
As her whole body and legs have
rough, hairy covering, she needs quite
a little time to fix herself properly.
In her mandibles, or jaws, are the
teeth with which she combs her hair,
and her claws serve as brushes for
the other parts of her body.
After q careful dressing she is ready
for dinner, and woe to the fly or other
luckless insect which Is caught in
her web
She spends much of her time eating,
and all her food goes into the back
part of her body, which, you know,
looks just like soft round ball. Here
it is changed Into q thick syrup. That
is the material OF which her web is
made. 1t is forced through her spin
larets, the tiny knobs at the back OF
her body, and hardens into thread
when 1t comes IN contact with the
air.
AS the web is In constant need OF
repairing, great deal of material is
required, and Mrs. Spider must eat
much and often.
She will neither make nor mend
her web Ia cloudy weather-Wesleyan
