DESTROY CATTLE TICK

1t is very strange indeed the oppo-
sition that ordinarily sensible men
have been manifesting toward the
efforts Of the state and the United
States government TO eradicate the
cattle tick in Mississippi. Some farm
rrs seem to think that cattle ticks
are as necessary for cattle as Aeas are
TO a dog-to keep him from worry.
ing about being a dog-and in sew
eraI instances the law has been in
voked and stiff fines given those who
are ~obstrucling the work and %violat-
ing the quarantines.
All this. too, in the face Of the fact
that wherever Mississippi cattle have
been shipped to the moth .rn markets
from counties which are free from
ticks ynd are not under the embargo,
these cattle have brought the top of
the market invariably. On the other
hand, cattle from tick,infested com
munities sell all the way from two
cents under to a lesser price. OF
course. those who do not expect to
sell cattle, and do not care if their
neighbors sell or not, are Indifferent,
bur every farmer who has cattle and
expects,to sell them has a direct per-
sonaI interest in the work. The cat
tie from a tick-free county bring a
better initial price from the itinerant
buyers, even, if the seller has gump-
ton enough to take advantage Of the
fact. Especially in South Mississippi.

WORK INTO PLAY
Secret Of Keeping Young In Heart
and Splrit-World ls Great
Playground.

Remember how old a nan used
TO be at fifty. He did not play. Re
member the old-type of grandmoth-
er, who vas old at forty and who
wa entitled to be ranked among
the Oldest inhabitants at sixty? She
was a dear old creature, without
whose gentle counsels some of us to-
day would be much nearer worthless
than we are. But she was old too
young; she had forgotten how to
play.
That is one Of the reasons why a
house without children is so profit
less an abode. Robbed of the natural
incentive to play, parents grow old
before their time. Their hearts dry
up they think always soberly; it's
work, work, work. They miss the
mental and spiritual uplift that 90
with a romp on the nursery floor or
a childish game under the parlor
lamp. s,le
And the best part Of it is that one
need not drop work in order to play.
Turn your work into play; that's
the secret. For exercise play tennis
or golf, don't get into a treadmill.
The most prosaic of tasks becomes
a game if one looks at it from the
right angle. Work? There is no
such thing. The world is a great
playground, the games as various as
the players and the person who can
not see the uselessness Of insisting
that work is work and nothing more
deserves to grow old, wither up and
blow away before his time.
