Ticks and Cholera.

There are two things that tend to prevent Chicot County and Southeast Arkansas in general from becoming a great live stock section.
 The first IS the presence of hog cholera and other diseases of swine, which have made hog rais- ing one of the most risky of all lines of farming. The second IS the presence of the cattle tick.
 Were It not for the former we would be shipping out thousands of pounds of pork every year. As It IS at present we are paying out to farmers Of the middle west money which we should keep on our farms and plantations. But, when our farmers know how to prevent these diseases of swine this money will be kept at home, for we can in Chicot county produce pork for ? {, and } cents per pound. while the farmer of the so-called Corn belt" states cannot raise 1t for less than 6 to 10 cents per pound.
 The cattle tick has nothing in its favor. Cattle from outside of tick infested area, when brought into infested area, become sick and large numbers die. The pest IS blood sucking parasite which fat tens and thrives at the expense of the infested COW.
 The dairy COW carrying ticks gives from 10 10 2S per cent less milk on account of this blood sucking parasite. This milk from teverish COWS IS not of best quality and Is positively inIurous to infants.
 Tn. tick lnIures the hids so that they sell for one-halt cent per pound less than similar hides not so affected.
 Every year the loss of cattle in uCk infested territory would more than pay for eradlcating the pest. The tick eurtails our market and greatly lowers the price ot cattle One cannot tatten cattle and tlcks at the same tune,
 All our planters and farmers are intert stcd Tn hog raising and the demonstration of hog cholera vac eination 10 be given at Dermott on the afternoon of Monday, April hth, will be an opportunity tor them to learn how to prevent the disease.
 All are also interested Tn the matter of eradlCatIng the cattle tick from Ch1eot county and are urged to attend the illustrated lecture to be given in the Conven- ton Hall ot Hotel Dermou on the evening of the bth.
 Seventeen Arkansas counties have already Conplet, lv eradcated d the cattle tick, while SIX others have portion of their area out side of quarantine. It is quite a frequent thing tor cattle from these counties to top the markets at St. Louis and Kansas City, bringing as high as so co per hundred and sometimes more. Southeast Ar kansas has better growing season and can produce cattle of equal quality at less cost-when It eradi- cates the cattle tick.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-George

dents on the pedestrians. in lecture

ION the sidewalks we find people
who suddenly stop, turn and dodge

THINKS SHONTS.
Head Of New York Railways Sys-
tenn Discusses New Device
for Saving Life.

NEW YORK. .'cT.. ito make mo-
tor truck operation in crowded streets
less perllous for pedestrians novel
experiment is being tried by the New
York Railways Company. A motor
truck has been equipped with fen
der, protecting both the front and
rear wheels. T. p. Shonts, president
of the company, describing the device,
said:
one of our new electric trucks has
been equipped with a combination
fender and wheel guard so arranged
that If the projecting fender strikes a
person who may be In an erect posi-
ton, he viii fall back into a scoop or
cage-like device which is cushioned
to break the fall and so devised as
to prevent the person struck from
getting underneath the car. If he
falls forward when struck or is w.
ing PROSTATE, trip attached to the
front of the fender operates the
wheel guard, which in turn picks up
the person so that the wheels do not
touch him
There is also a device in front of
the rear wheels of the truck which
will prevent a person falling under
meath those wheels. Experience has
shown that in many cases chauf-
feur to avoid striking a person with
the front wheels will swing the car
SO that the center OF the car body
hits him, and he Is then run over by
the rear wheels. The company in
tends to give the new device a prac-
teal street demonstration"

There is probably nothing that can

Tibbitts, advertising manager of the
B. F. Goodrich Company, last night
Winter storms, chilling winds, frozen
roads and snowdrifts are no barrier
to automobiles as now built.
Five or six years ago one would
not have thought of going into the
country in the dead of winter in the
crude cars then constructed. 1t was
the persistency of the American
builders that was responsible for this
winter touring, inasmuch as they
have labored increasingly to build
their ears with every comfort and
luxury.
Garage managers report that never
since the inception of the motor car
in America has there been such a
small number of dead cars in storage
as this season. Accessory manufac-
turers, especially those dealing in fur
coats, robes fur-lined gloves etc, say

previous winter. Projectors of small

In Many Ways Motor
Cars of Present Show
A Marked Advance
One of the Staple Troubles Of the
Veteran Motor Is
No More.

That automobile progress has been
during the last two years, along the
line of detailed refinement. rather
than in any sweeping revolution of
design, Is fact which has been com
mented upon by every thoughtful OBJ
server. Manufacturers have, in gem
eral, been giving more for the money
better upholstery, more complete
equipment better finish, more con-
venient control, more harmonious
lines. The addition of reliable, built
in electrical starting and lighting sys-
TENS is another detail which has
been a recent development in the
quality field
That the ear has been steadily inn
proving in mechanical detail is SINH
larry true, though this fact is nat
urallY appreciated more by active
motorists than by the person whose
interest is of the prospective sort,
Greater attention Is being given to
the Incorporation of adjustable roller
bearings in hubs and transmission;
the long stroke small bore motors
like those of the Studebaker -Four"
and six models have been long
step toward fuel economy and in
creased power cooling problems have
been so successfully attacked that no
correctly adjusted motor should ever
become unduly hot

a single county in a given section
improves its main roads, a vast traffic
Is a once diverted to those roads

tematic and unusually costly main

States.
Good Roads Diverted Travel.
Mecklenberg County, in North
Carolina, Is an excellent illustration
OF TINS feature of the economics of
road Improvement Some years ago
TINS progressive county issued bonds
and built an excellent system of
macadam roads The initial advan-
tage was at once apparent. Farmers
Increased their acreage of crops, pro-
duction became much greater mar
keting cost less and real estate val
ues were enhanced from rs to 100 per
cent. Then came new traffic condi-
tons. and the through travel of a
whole section of the State was divert
ed over the good roads of Mecklen-
berg County. The travel between the
North and the South assumed larger
proportions, and II went by way of
Mecklenberg County because of its
good roads.
AS n matter OF fact, the injustice
to the taxpayers OF MecSlenherg
County must be apparent to every
fair minded man. But Mecklenberg
County is not alone in its position.
Nearly every county In the country
lying along the route OF n main
thoroughfare I'm States where State
aid has not been adopted finds itself
in similar situation. either with
improved roads which from outside
traffic are wearing out, or else pre-
vented from making improvements
by the not unnatural feeling on the
part OF the people that they can not
afford to build and maintain roads
upon which would come the greatest
use and wear from outside the
county. with no corresponding ad-
The logic brings the in
evitable conclusion that II is the
duty OF the State, in justice to the
people of the counties, to build and
maintain the roads over which passes
the through travel of the people OF
the State; and the duty of the nation
in justice to the States, to construct
and maintain these important through
routes which connect the great cen
ters OF population and commerce"

race and a drivers contract would
be forthcoming.
1t is the $4,000 in prize money
that Is offered at indianapolis for
TINS yearly race that has this effect
on the embryonic racing drivers. To
win one of these races means the
taking down of prize of $4,000,
equal to a years salary of many a
bank president, and where is the
youngster who would not take
chance for such returns? Until GouX,
Guyot at the late Zucarrelli came
over TO compete in this race, foreign
pilots had an idea that the $4,000 in
prizes for one race was a myth.
When | was in France for the 1912
Grand PriX. one of the prominent
drivers there declared that he under
stood that it was necessary to kill
several of the spectators or some of
the other drivers to secure such
large prize in America.
With the reports that Goux has
circulated since his return to Europe
after winning the last race, it is now
more likely that a swarm of the for
eigners will be seen in action here
this year However. their invasion
will not deter American recruits from
entering into the racing game.

STRANDED LINER AND
 5OS SOULS ARE SAVED
Shifting Wind LOOsens ths
 Roma From Rocks.

After being stranded for five hours on the storm lashed coast of No Mans Lahd, a rocky little island to tlSsouth of Martha's Vineyard, the Fabre line steamship Roma, with more than 800 persons aboaG, came slowly up Mar ragansett bay, conveyed by two reve nue cutters and anchored at Provt dence. R. I.>kAlthough wireless mes sage said that the vessel was afioat. 1t was not until eight hours later that the fears of the officers of the line were set aside. Then it was reported that the Roma was whistling for a pi- lot off Breton's reef. Soon after that the pilot went aboard and the Roma came into the bay.
 It was a shifting wind that saved the Roma. otherwise she would prob ably be pounding still on the coast Captain Combernous sent word that when the wind changed to the north west the Roma was loosened from the rocks and was able to get off under her own steam. He did not say any thing as to the damage the Roma might have sustained. When the morning broke the sky was clear, but it was very cold and the wind was still high.
