The Came.

keokuk lost by score of 6 to 5, but
outplayed Burlington during the en-
tire game. The first half was quite
sensational. Keokuk carried the ball
twice to the very verge of Burling-
tons goal and were penalized, the
result being that with big gain on
the third down the ball reverted to
Burlington and was punted out of
danger, Long forward passes by Keo-
kuk and spectacular return of punts
by Pechstein enable Keokuk to as
sumo the aggressive during the great
er part of the half
In the second half after an exchange
of plays Captain Parsons intercepted
forward pass by Burlington and
raced for a touchdown. The run was
dandy and sent chills through the
veins of Burlington fans and LAYERS.
Kcokuk then kicked off and Burling-
ton was forced to take a great brace.
series of line plunges and runs and
on-side kicks allowed Burlington to
advance the ball and push it over for
touchdown. A goal was kicked win
ming the game for Burlington. Bur
lington papers mention the work of
Captain Parsons and Pechstein as be-
ing vGry brilliant.

HAVE A BUSY DAY
American Bankers Associa-
ton Must Elect and Adopt
Resolutions.
SCORE THE GUARANTY PLAN
Declare 1t Impractical, Unconstitutton.
al Unwise, Dishonest, and Few
Other Things,

Denver, Oct. 1.-The closing sessions
of the American Bankers association
today were replete with incidents full
of interest.
Besides the election of officers and
winding up the business of the con-
vention resolutions that may have a
far-reaching effect were considered.
The question of guaranteeing bank
deposits was brought squarely before
the association in the report Of the
federal legislative committee which
such action by either federal or state
government.
The report says the guarantee fund
would be function wholly outside
of any purpose for which the state
or federal governments organized, and
that the assuming OF trusteeship would
be misleading to the general public.
as it is not guaranteed by either state
or federal government, and that such
law would work to the detriment,
not only of banks, but to the deposit
ing public as well.
Offer Many Reasons.
A resolution was adopted by the
convention that the association is un-
alterably opposed to any arbitrary
plan looking to the mutual guaranty
of deposits. either by state or nation,
for the following reasons:
'It is unsound in principle; imprac-
ticable. misleading and revolutionary
in character; subsersive, to sound
economics; will lower the standard ot
our present banking system; is pro-
ductive of and encourages bad bank
ing; unjustly weakens the strong and
unfairly strengthens weak banks; dis
credits honesty, ability and conserva-
tism; loss suffered by one bank
jeopardizes all banks; the public must
eventually pay the tax; it win cause
and not avert panics."

Good Time Leagues

Prosperity leagues are being organ
lied in all of our larger cities. In.
vestigations show that business is
rapidly becoming normal, and that
the majority of factories, railroad
shops, general offices, wholesale
houses, etc, are working their full
quota of men full time. Within three
months this country will find a greater
demand than ever before for book
keepers, stenOgraphers and operators,
owing to the business that has been
allowed to accumulate that must be
moved and the new business coming
on, caused by the starting of factories,
the marketing of crops, progressive
moves in all industrial lines.
The demand upon the Employment
Bureau of the Tyler Commercial Col
lege of Tyler, Texas, for bookKeepers,
stenographers, and operators has
increased over 90 per cent during the
past week: many excellent positions
were offered their graduates. This is
especially encouraging to young peo-
pie who have been contemplating
entering school but have hesitated,
fearing that they would not secure a
position when their courses were fin
ished. If | were a young man or
woman, | would not wait another day;
| would enter school at once, even if
had to borrow the money or give
the school a note for part of my tut

Various methods for DISCRIMINATING
the ticks are used. including trans
ferring the cattle from pasture to pas
tIre at suitable intervals, and dipping,
SPRAYING, and hand dressing the
cattle with oil and oil emulsion. In
sections where there are large herds
and large ranches dipping on a large
scale is practiced. either alone or IN
connection with pasture rotation
while in other sections, where the cat
tie on some farms frequently consists
only OF a COW or OK team, hand dress
inc with oil is found to be the only
practicable method,
The damage caused by the ticks and
the benefits to follow from their eradl-
cation are not generally appreciated.
It is estimated that the Texas fever
tick is responsible for about Slo,O0O,-
600 of loss annually to the people OF
the infected country, and that it also
lowers the assets of the south by an
additional $23, 100000, making the
enormous aggregate of SOB, 2oO, 900.
TO wipe out this heavy loss IS the
object of the work now under way,
and the results already accomplished
leave no doubt that success is posi-
bic, though number Of years will be
required for the completion of the
undertaking. Much depends upon the
cattle owners, who can either hasten
or retard progress according as they
cooperate or refuse to assist in the
work.
Literature giving full information
as to the ticks, the disease which they
transmit, and methods for their eradi-
cation has been issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture and will be sup
piled free of charge on application to
the Chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, Washington. d. c.
