Mr.. Barnhill Violates the Tick Law

Mr.. Jim Barnhiil, living west of Ma
con, was tried before Justice of the
Peace Smith Wednesday on a warrant
sworn out by Tick Inspector Showers
for violating the law requiring all cate
to be dipped. Mr.. Barnhill has
dipped any of his cattle and says most
positively that he would not; that the
cattle were his own property. on his W
premises, and is firmly convinced that
neither the State of Mississippi nor the
United States government had a right
to force him to dip his cattle. but as
he could not successful resist both, he
he wonld sell every head he had if al
lowed to do 80. He was assessed the
amount of the cost in the case, $3.50,
and placed under. a bond of 500 to dip
his cattle twice in the next two weeks,
when he would be allowed to sell and
move his cattle.
MIR. Barnhill is of the opinion that
the whole thing is wrong and that the
law was made to Cypress and harrass
the poor man and that the tick can new
er be gotten rid of until all the rabbits,
deer and other wild animals are dipped.

Worms Damaging Crops

The army worm made its appearance
in Noxubee County last year for the
first time in nearly two decades. Its
appearance was said to be due to the ex-
cess rainfall in August, 1911, which
kept back the parasites that feed on
the eggs Of the fly that form the worm.
The weather that has prevailed this
year has been very favorable for the
propagation of all kinds Of worms and
insects and that they would make Their
appearance early was to be expected
Mr.. John Cavett on whose place the
worms first made their appearance last
year. phoned in Thursday that the
army worm had made its appearance
on his farm and nearly all the adjoin'
ing places. The Cavett Bros. poisoned
last year with good effect, but the
worm is nearly a month ahead of it,
appearance last year and the cotton now
is not hear as far advanced. If the
rains continue, poisoning will do little
good, so it seems that the farmers are
up against a hard proposition.
The grass worm, which was first re
ported about a month ago in South
Mississippi is doing considerable dam
age in every portion of the country.
On account of the late spring a great
deal of late corn was planted and in
many sections the worms have left the
fields as clean as a mower would.

FROM THE PEOPLE
10 he Formers Of Nozubee County,

The appearance of the caterpillar or
cotton army worm on several farms in
this county should put every nan in
the county to thinking very seriously.
It's up to you right now to get ready to
fight your w battle. If you are not
prepared to fight this destructive pest
when the proper time comes you viii
more tdan likely come out with a short
cotton crop and a large account to pay.
1t is folly in the superlative degree to
go along depending on chance and may
be-so's.
Whether you have see any worms in
your cotton or not it'syour DUTY to put
an order in at once for poison enough to
poison every acre of cotton you have
charge of. If the people of this county
will go at this thing as they should, this
devastating pest can be controlled, but
it will take unity of action. | am not
prepared to say positively that you will
have to use poison, but do emphasize
this-you should be ready.
No specific date for poisoning can be
given, for you seldom see any moths un-
til about the third generation appears,
but when you see numbers of moths in
late afternoons flying about nthe fields
you may be sure that thousands of eggs
are being deposited and the larvae or
worm stage will follow about three
DAYS later. Paris green is a very eflec-
tive poison to use. I've been informed
that it a be bought for about l5c per
pound and three pounds per acre with
about IL pounds of cheap grade flour or
air slaked lime should be used.
| have seer no boil weevil sign in the
county. Respectfully,
]. w. HADDoN.

Milady's Toilet Table
BY Nine. D'MHLLE.

One great advantage of a dry
shampoo is that it requires only a
few minutes. 1t takes out all the
dust, excess of oil and dandruff and
leaves the scalp clean, cool and re-
freshed. The best shampoo powder
is a mixture of a cupful of cornmeal
and a small original package of
therox. Just sprinkle little on the
head and brush thoroughly through
the hair
A harmless, safe and sure way to
remove superfiuous hair is to apply
d delatone paste. Mix enough pow
cred delatone with water to cover
the hairs; leave on for two minutes,
then wipe off, wash the skin and the
hairs will be gone.
To keep the skin smooth and soft
and make the complexion natural and
attractive, rub over the face, neck
and arms each morning a lotion
made by dissolying small original
package of mayatOne in a half pint
of witch hazel This is much better
than powder, for it will not rub of
and the complexion needs no re.
! touching all day long
/ There should be jar of Mother
Salve in every home. Ii heals mi
nor cuts, burns and scalds without
I leaving a scar. 1t is a splendid rem
edy for sores, skin eruptions, PIN
pies, eczema and similar beauty de
stroyers.

'HELORS.
ROWLING sQUIBs.

A beatific smile enshrouded the
countenances of the linotype operator
and the proof reader when they learn
ed that some one had failed to pro-
duce scores.
Anyhow, reading the scores of the
Stock Leaders has a rather soporifer-
Gus effect on the public. Burn EN- up
next time boys. That is-the scores.
We chuckle with glee as we think of
what those WITCH boys might have
done TO those ten pins last night
Hope the family was not detained at
home by the heavy snow.
Mixer slipped the ball down the al
leys for two rather good games. and
then came across with a little bit of
measly III.
Hennie Ackmann slipped them over
for more than 500 last night Rather
surprising, Lefty.
Had Clemann neglected to foul in
one of the frames of the first game, his
team would have won that game But
Hans crossed the danger mark and the
chance to obliterate the three pin mar
gin OF the Bachelors went glimmering.
Stephens was there with the bonn
bardment last night. He rolled 55l
and was as much responsible for vic
tory as any one.
Schwecke jumped into the second
and third games and finished with
more than 300. which is going some
for Schwecke.
The Cubs buck up against the Stock
Leaders next week and those Cubs
sure can use those three games
They say that il does not matter so
much as TO who tops the percentage
column now as it Will May 80 when
the league closes. and the bowlers go
/ into summer quarters.
SALZMANN ROLLS WELL.
Art Salzmann hung up a high score
at the Rock Island club alleys last
night for the benefit of fellow who
was willing to be separated from a V
spot. provided the score be high
enough. Art started out with 200 for
his first game, increased it a little in

And the Cubs are coming back. Not
in the sense of that term come back"
as applied to James J. Jeffries and
other athletic celebrities, but coming
back in the strictest sense of the
phrase-to the place from which they
started. Last night another pair of
games went to the Bachelors, via the
Cubs, and as a result the Cubs are two
whole games from the top of the heap.
The first game was lost by margin of
three pins, but the percentage column
fails to give any credit for those close
scores. The Pillow City team cracked
the Stock Leaders for two more
games last night, but as somebody
made some low scores, the tally sheet
was put in an obscure corner again
this morning. Here's what the Bachel-
ors did TO the Cubs-in figures:

ager Dolly. 1t is headed by the Five
Musical Lassies and that act Is a cork
ing good one. The members of the
troupe play several selections, using
violins and different sorts of horns.
The harmony produced in their rem
dition of ragtime music and their abil-
ity to play their classical numbers
make it one of the strongest acts seen
here this year. Added to all of the
charms produced by the act itself,
there are some scenic effects that are
real good. Davis & Walker were
delayed while enroute to Rock Island
but arrived in time for last nights
performance. Their act is "A Dancing

spectacular novelty, flying out over
the audience, the while singing that

College Girls Basketball Teams
in Holly Contested Game
at Local Gym.
13 TO 10 Is THE RESULT
Augustana Players Start Out With a
Rush and Gain a Lead Which
Is Held Throughout.

William and Vashti goods of Aledo
met defeat at the hands of Augustana's
quintet of girls last night by score
of Is to 10 in the local gymnasium.
The battle was holly contested, and
it was only the fact that the Lutherans
played more scrappy game that gave
them victory. The local girls have now
participated in three contests this sea-
son and won all of them. A return
game will be played with William and
Vashti next week at Aledo.
Augustana started out with a rush
and had things it's own way for few
minutes Miss Agnes Abrahamson, the
brilliant Lutheran center, starred, send
ing the ball through the hoop twice
and breaking up the team play of her
opponents in an effective manner. The
latter part of the half the Aledo goods
threatened the local five, but Angus
tana's guards came to the rescue and
kept Vashti from scoring. The half
ended-Augustana IL, Vashti 6.
SLOWER IN SECOND HALF.
Because of the fact that both fves
played such a hard game the first per-
iod, playing was perceptibly slower in
the second half. Although the Angus
tana girls had many chances TO shoot
goals, they only secured one field
basket, as did also Vashti. The Misses
White and Pittenger for the Aledo girls
gave a good exhibition of passing this
half, and they also played strong de
