some farms frequently consist only of COW or an OK team, hand dressing with oil is found to be the only practicable method. The damage caused by the ticks and the benefits to follow from their eradication are not generally appreciated. It it esti- mated that the Texas. fever tick is responsible for about 1000, 900 of loss annually to the people of the infected country, and that it also lowers the assets of the south by additional S23,250, ,000, making the enormous aggre- gate of S63, ,250,OOO. 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 possible, though a number o1 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 infor- nation as to the ticks, the dis ease which they transmit, and methods for their eradication has been issued by the Department of Agriculture and will be sup piled free of charge on applica- tion to the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, Washington, D. C."

MORE and more people read newspapers. There are many who do not read anything else and are not appreciative that they are missing much of great importance by seeming neglect. Newspapers are, first of all, remarkably cheap, and they containe so much of interest, news and otherwise, that if all else is let alone, the individual who delves in these pages is not going to be combed a numskull. With this universal newspaper reading, advertising never paid better than now, because with so many people scanning news- paper pages there is bound to flow good results to those who pay for space therein.

SHOW us young man that had rather spend the money he makes having a good time than to use it in paying the debts he incurred and I will show you a man after he has grown up that has nothing, and a man in whom the people have little confidence. We believe the greatest funda- mental principal on which to erect a young mans character is for him to learn to pay every debt contracted by him. He should learn that the principle involved is worth far more than the money.

ERADICATION OF TICKS
Work Resumed Against Dis
 seminators of exas Fever

People who are interested in quarantine matters and tick eradication, which is a question of great importance to this par ticular section, will read the following article which has been furnished The Tribune by the Bureau of Animal Industry, with much interest:
 "The Bureau or Animal h. dustry of the United States De. partment of Agriculture is re- suming active operations for the eradication of the cattle ticks which prevail in the southern part of the country and transmit the contagion of Texas fever of cattle. It's men are being sent into the field and preparations are being made to push the work of extermination vigorously during the warm weather, when the ticks are the most active.
 "Since this work was begun, two years ago, an area of about 56,000 square miles, or almost the size of the state of Georgia, has been freed from the ticks. As result the quarantine on southern cattle has been either modified or entirley removed from this area. Last year work was done to greater or less ex- tent in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Oaklahoma, LouisiniA, Texas, and California, and it is proposed this year to continue in the same states with the addition of a small portion of Mississippi. M ost of the work has been and will continue to be done in sec- tions contiguous to the quarantine line, the object being to push the line ia rther south from year to year; but encouragement is given to locial work in any part of the quarantine district in the assurance that when any con- siderable area is rendered tick free it will be released from quar- antine.
 The work is being done by CO., operation between the Federal government and the state and local authorities. Congress has appropriated S520,0OO 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 to states where cooperation is re- ceived.
 Various methods for extermi- hating the ticks are used, in- cluding transferring the cattle from pasture to pasture at suit- able intervals, and dipping, spraying, and hand dressing the cattle with oil and oil emulsion. In section 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 cattle on

CLASS IN BRAIN
WILL RECOVER
The Experience Of Fifteen-Y ear
Old Brooklyn
5000 WORK Of SURGEONS
Remove Glass From Brain and Pa
tent VIII Loose Neither Her
Life Nor Reason-Was
Delicate Operation.

New York, Oct. Although the
point of a piece of glass pierced her
skull and entered the brain it is be-
lieved that Blanch Goldstein, fifteen
years of age, of Brooklyn, will lose
neither life nor reason as the result
of an operation performed by sur
geons at st. Mary's hospital. A re-
markable show of vitality by the
child was taken advantage of by the
doctors and tumorlike gathering at
the injured point of the brain was
removed. The wound was cleansed
antiseptically and the brain cover
ing brought together. The punctur-
ed skull was small and it will be
easily trepined.
The child was playing in front of
her home last Friday when a large
pane of glass was dislodged from a
window on the third floor of the
house. 1t crashed edgewise on her
head, a sharp fragment entering the
top of her head. The girl fell uncon-
scious and cut her chin and face
severely on the fragments of glass
upon the sidewalk. Upon the removal
of the glass from the brain, the little
girl, who had been semi-conscious
since the accident, frightened uI
perceptibly and asked that her par
ents be brought to her. She recog
nized them at once upon their ar
rival The doctors predict complete
recovery.

GATHER AROUND FEsTAl BOARD
Two Hundred Attend Banquet Given
by Baracas and Philatheas.

| Perhaps no movement In modern
years in religious endeavor has had
such an impetus or has made such
rapid gains as that of the Baraca
movement for men or it's companion
in church work, the Philathea move
ment for women. These organlza-
tions were instituted primarily for
reaching the men and women OF the
cities who have never been accus-
toned to attending Sunday school.
That they filled void in church
work and met with popular approx
al is attested by the thousands of
men and women who are enrolled
| in the Baraca ard Philathea classes
from one end of the country to the
other. In WaXahachie this work has
kept apace with the works progress
sions in other cities. The first Bara-
ca and Philathea classes were organ
/ lied here some two or three years
ago At first the membership of each
was small. Later on John V. Single
i ton, a popular young man OF the
city, became identified with the work
and through his untirfng efforts
classes have been formed In every
protestant church in Waxahachie,
Mr.. Singleton attended meeting OF
1 the lNdllOudl bdIdCd uutOA az SiASiA-
natl last spring and was appointed
secretary for the Texas division. He
came home imbued with an enthusi-
the work in Waxahachie. He took up
the matter OF organizing new classes
and now more than four hundred
men and women are enlisted In this
work.
Some weeks ago the Baraca and
Philathea classes, under the leader
ship Of Mr.. Singleton, began prepar-
ations to give banquet for the ben
eft of these organizations and also
to give the public some idea Of the
character of work being accomplish
ed In the spiritual development of
the young men and young women of
the city. After all the details had
been carefully worked out the an
nouncement was made that the event
would take place on Tuesday even
Ing. October s. The number of tick
cts was limited to two hundred and
nearly twice this number could have
been sold. The success Of the affair
exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tions of those who had the matter
In charge. The interest displayed by
| the friends of the Baracas and Phil
| atheas was very gratifying, and it
was an expectant crowd that assem-
bled In the Adelphian Club rooms
Tuesday evening at o'clock. Long
rows Of tables. with broad aisles be-
tween, made alternate ribbons across

monious colorings blended we'll with
the setting of the whole. Snowy lin
en- with dainty napkins and many
sparkling pieces Of cut glass, vases
filled with clusters Of roses and 9TH
er accessories were charming addi-
tions to the banquet tables. All the
decorations were arranged In a way
to produce a most pleasing effect A
beautiful red rose was also placed at
each Of the two hundred plates. A
choice menu of many appetixing dol
icacies was served

bled around the festal boards an in
vocation was offered by Rev w. NJ

church.
This was followed by the rendition
of march by the orchestra.
We Do Things" was the subject
of most excellent address by Mrs.
Yancey ID. Kemble. In a brief way
Mrs. kemble reviewed some of the
work that had been accomplished by
the Philathea movement.
A feature that delighted all was
a vocal duet by Mrs. Walter Crow
and Miss Jennie shelton These la
dies are two of the most popular
singers in Waxahachie. and on this
occasion 1t was a treat to listen to
the blended harmony of their culti-
waited voices.
Mr.. I. NJ. Sleeper could not have
chosen a more appropriate subject
for his address. "A Live Wire" was
the theme and his talk was also a
live wire sparkling with many beau
tiful thoughts relating to Baraca
work r4s

by the orchestra, and then in a most
pleasing manner Miss Emma Davis

A WATERY GRAVE
FOR YOUNG GIRL
Body Of Miss Ruby Wooten Is
Found Floating in Lake
Cliff at Dallas.
MISSING SINCE FRIDAY
Shoes and Handbag Found on Bank
With a Note Saying She Was
Despondent and Tired
ol Living.

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 7-Floating
face downward and in a badly de-
composed condition the body of Miss
Ruby Read Wooten was found yes
terday morning in the lake at Lake
Cliff park. The body was found by
Prof. J. G.. Wooten of Paris, Texas,
father of the dead girl. The deceased
was well known in this city, having
resided here for the past two years,
during which time she was a student
and later teacher at the Southwes-
tern Musical Conservatory
The young woman had been miss
ing since last Friday, but the find
ing of her lifeless body floating in
the lake was great shock to her pa
rents and friends. AS a result the
mother was so badly prostrated that
she is confined in her room at the
st. George hotel under the treatment
of physicians. Prof. Wooten talked
freely about the matter, but could
advance no theory as to how the girl
met her death and was at a loss to
understand how the body could have
been in the water so long without
being found before it was.
The body was fully clothed when
taken from the water, with the ex-
ception of the shoes. Several hun
dred feet above where the body was
taken from the water and on the
same side of the lake was found the
shoes and handbag. Inside the
handbag was number of articles
among them being note. The ar
ticles were taken in charge by Prof
Wooten.
The note was written in ink and
on a small piece of scratch paper.
1t contained the name OF deceased
and stated in substance that she was
Respondent and did not feel very
well. The note also contained the in
formation that the writer was ready
to die and said that her greatest re-
gret was in leaving her mother This
note among the other effects were
taken in charge by the undertaken
to be viewed by Justice of the Peace
w. M. Edwards, acting coroner.

To Make Negro Dolls.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. IA fac
tory for the manufacture of negro
dolls is the newest Nashville indus
try, and hereafter the pickaninnies
of Dixie will be supplied with saw
dust-hlled reproductions of them
selves. The dolls will be made in all
shades, from light mulatto to the ace
OF spades color, in order to supply
all demands. The recent National
Negro Baptist congress passed a res
olution praising the negro doll fac
tory and urging colored people to
purchase only negro dolls for Christ
mas presents. In the past colored
children have had to put up with
Caucasian dolls, or uncomely carl
catures of negroes manufactured by
facetious white men.
