Results Of Education.
ERADICATION OF PEST.
Twenty:One Counties in Mississippi
Free of Cattle Ticks.

Reports have been received from the
inspectors Of the bureau Of animal in
dustry In twenty-one counties OF Mis-
sissippi. where the cattle tick has been
eradicated and the region released from
quarantine The showing was that tick
eradication had cost so cents per head
for the cattle. and that the increase In
value had averaged 81 per head
The total increase OF the receipts Tor
the cattle business in the counties named
was 81, GOO the first year. This in
crease, the department officials say. will
be permanent or will increase so long
as the region Is free Of ticks.
The department authorities say that
this spread Of the tick-free territory in
the south will make for the lower price
of meat in this country, because while
the population and consequent meat con-
sumption have increased largely. the cat
tie supply has fallen of. With the elirni-
nation of the cattle tick In the south.
these states which are the natural home
of cattle raising can take their proper
place In stock growing. and consequently
can largely increase the meat supply

MUSICIANS UNION UPHELD.
A. F. Of L. Rules Against Demand
Of Metal Polishers.

ST. LOUIS. August 16-Owen Miller,
secretary Of the American Federation of
Musicians, has been notified that the
executive council OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor had upheld the musi-
clans union in its protest against the
demand of the metal polishers' union
that the musicians use only instruments
bearing the label OF the metal polishers.
The metal polishers requested that the
musicians use only instruments bearing
the polishers' label, or else have a card
from the polishers permitting them to
use imported instruments.
The musicians opposed the demand on
the ground that many Of the best in
struments are made abroad, and that
several kinds are not manufactured in
the United States.

roll his eyes and say that everything
that Burleson does is all right. Anyhow.

May Be Done by Farmers.
The idea of Mr.. Burleson sending the
peaches by parcel post to the White
House was to demonstrate to the Presi-
dent how easy 1t would be for farmers
to transfer their products by parcel post.
The package weighed seventeen pounds,
and as fortune had it, or maybe it was
by design, the postage came to just Is
cents. Now, of course, by this time the
Postmaster General must have known
that this was the Presidents lucky num-
Der. and maybe he wanted it to cost 13
cents just for that reason. But nobody
dares to directly charge that there was
q reason for the 13-cent charge.
Accompanying the box was a note con-
gratulatory In nature and outlining the
possibilities Of the parcel post service.
