and IS being done in other states, can
also be done in Florida.
The latest report shows that one
fifth Of the tick infested territory
has been already cleared of the tick.
This work has been carried on by the
cooperation Of the federal. state and
county governments, and already the
results have been very pleasing and
profitable to those sections that now
enjoy a free and unrestricted cattle
business with the great northern
markets.
Ticks depreciate value of Florida
cattle. Under our present conditions,
Florida cattle have no market except
tick-infested countries TO the south Of
us.
As long as this condition exists.
Florida cattle, no matter how high
their breeding or quality, must be
sold under quarantine or as quaran-
tined animals. This means they are
always sold for less than if they were
sold as coming from a tick-free
state. Cattle, irrespective OF breed
ing or condition, shipped from Flor
ida to Chicago, must be shipped for
immediate slaughter and are held,
pending slaughter, in special pens by
the national quarantine officers.
This extra trouble and expense is
paid for from the proceeds Of their
sale and our cattle bring from one
and a half to two and a half cents
less per pound on the Chicago mar
kets. or in any northern market. than
similar cattle shipped from tick-free
states.
Some weeks since the Marion
County Live Stock Club was organ
lied and being desirous Of getting as
many members among the farmers
/ and stock raisers as possible l sent
letters 10 several of the new members
Iasking their cooperation, and among
iothers Mr.. S. H. GaitskilI of Mcintosh
replied as follows:
II am afraid we will find but few
members in this section. l am doing
iall that ! can. | have the people
come to see my cattle dipped wher
We dip, and they are watching the
effect in my cattle. The results are
convincing and | find my cattle are
Improving rapidly since I first dip
ped"
It strikes me very forcibly tha
eyery stock raiser and farmer il
Marion county should be interested
in this great work. There is no bet
ter stock raising country in this stat,
that in this county, but unless we ge
rid of the tick our cattle will neve
develop into desirable milch COWS o
beef cattle.
Every farmer should have a dip
ping vat on his farm or at least il
the neighborhood, as the dip seem
the only successful way Of tick Grad
ication.
l hope that every stock raiser ant
farmer in Marion county will joil
our club. 1t costs only one dolla
per year for membership and b.
hearty cooperation of all concernet
we can place our organization on
solid foundation and we will be abl
to get the assistance of the Unite
States inspectors who will give tn
necessary instructions so that ever
move we make will be in the righ
direction toward placing Florida
; grown cattle on an equal plane wit
; those from a tick-free section.
! Will YOU join the movement?

HAVE LONG DURATION OF LIFE
Age, II Scientific Investigations
Are Correct.

Water, particularly salt water,
seems to conduce to longevity. There
are gigantic mussels and oysters
whose age is assumed to be compar-
able only with that of the Cape Verde
baobab tree and the big tree of Cali
fornia, which live for 5000 years. In
deed, there appears no particular
reason why mussels should ever die,
though 1t is also true that, consider
ing the sort of life a mussel leads,
there seems no particular reason why
1t should ever have lived.
Sea anemones, again, delicate and
sensitive though they look when we
see them in the rock pools, may at
tain great age. Sir John Dalyell, a
Scottish naturalist, captured in 1928
sea anemone Of the liver-colored
sort SO common around our shores
It's age was then estimated at seven
years. 1t flourished in Edinburgh I'M
til 1887, and was just attaining vigor-
Gus and sober maturity when, from
some unknown cause, it died.-Lon-

PREPARING ANSWER TO JAPs.
President and Cabinet Talk Matters
Over But Keep Silent.

Washington, May IA tentative
draft of the reply of the United States
government to Japan's protest against
California land legislation, prepared
by John Bassett Moore, counsellor of
the state department, was considered
for two hours today by President Will
son and the cabinet. No intimation
of its nature was made public. Sec
rotary Bryan refused to discuss eth.
er the proposed reply or Japan's pro-
test.
The secretary made a statement
varying phases of official negotiations,
declaring that serious mischief might
result and satisfactory conclusion be
retarded or prevented. He referred to
the fact that his present position
obliged him to reverse his usual atti-
tude toward public discussion of cur
rent issues.
There are indications that the state
department is awaiting final action
by Governor Johnson upon the alien
land bill, either IN the talnt nope Inat
he might at the last moment change
his mind and veto the measure, or
more probably with the purpose of
having the approved act as basis for
furter discussion. The japanese gov
eminent likewise is awaiting the gov
ernor's action with keenest interest,
indicating another move forward in
the negotiations as soon as the bill
has been signed.
While protesting against the Cali
fornia legislation, the Japanese gov
eminent so far has suggested no rem
edy. That is left entirely to the Unit
ed States and it is believed here
that even the idea Of instituting pro-
ceedings to test the validity of the law
may be abandoned.

WHERE HER THOUGHTS WERE
Most Married Men Have Had Sim:
liar Experience, II They Will
Admit the Truth.

The husband was reading a news
paper account to his wife. Now and
then he paused and asked question.
The nature Of her replies made him
doubt that she was listening closely.
He accused her of having thoughts
elsewhere, and she Indignantly retort-
ed that she had heard every word.
He continued reading for a few
minutes and then glanced at her.
From the far-away look in her eyes
he knew her thoughts were not upon
the item he was reading. So, turn
ing the sheet as an excuse for
pause, he continued as follows, ap-
parently reading:
"Last night, about two o'clock in
the afternoon, just few minutes be-
fore breakfast, hungry boy about
sixty years old bought an orange for
nine pins and threw 1t through con-
crete wall twenty feet thick. With
cry of despair he jumped into a dry
mill pond, broke his arm at the knee
joint, and was drowned. 1t was only
ten years later. on the same day and
at the same hour, that goat gave
birth to six elephants. A high wind
then came up and killed three dead
horses and wooden cigar Indian
What do you think Of that, dear?" he
questioned, suddenly.
She gave little start, smiled. and
said:
II think that's a splendid bargain,
Henry. You had better get half a
dozen, for your stock of shirts Is
