ANOTHER LEANING TOWER

Pisa is not the only place to pos
sess leaning tower. AT Etampes,
France, there is one which dates back
to the sixteenth century. Recently
1t was thought that this tower was
leaning too much, and an expert in
vestigation was ordered. The ex-
perts have come to the conclusion that
the position Of the tower has not al
tered by a millimeter during the past
three centuries. Cardinal Riehelieu
had the tower examined in 1889, and
a comparison of the figures then ar
rived at with those of the present ex-
perts shows no difference that can
be measured by scientific instru-
ments.

result, although some time will be re-
quired. 1t is of the greatest impor-
lance for the success of this undertak-
ing that the. efforts of the officials
should be supplemented by individual
work by the farmers.
In undertaking measures for get
ting rid of the tick the pest may be
attacked in two locations-on the pas
ture and on the cattle In freeing pas
lures, one method consists in exclud-
ing all cattle, horses and mules from
pastures until all the ticks have died
from starvation. Another method con-
sists in permitting the cattle and other
animals to continue on the infested
pasture and treating them at regular
Intervals with agents destructive to
ticks, by dipping.
According to figures gathered by
one of the veterinary inspectors of the
bureau of animal industry, the pres
'ence of the tick among the cattle of
the south not only lessons the value
of the cattle on the hoof but causes
the gradings of hides that have been
infested with ticks as No. quality.
The same hide, il free from tick
marks, would grade No. 2. The diff
ference in price between these two
grades of hides is three cents per
pound. AS the hide of southern steers
weighs about AZ pounds, the presence
of the tick in the hide causes loss in
the hide alone more than $1.26 per
hide. Government specialists point out
that the cost of tick eradication is

like, all war could be avoided and
countries could afford to disarm, or
at least rest in their warlike prepare
tons.
1t must be blow to the peace ad-
vocates who held this view that his
tory making conflict is now raging in
country that was declared neutral
territory by the very powers that are
hurting bodies of troops into It. Ger
many and France and England had
all solemnly agreed that Belgium
was to be exempt from war. 1t was
to be buffer state and the other
nations were not to modest 1t or
make use of it to further their own
ends.
In the face Of that agreement, and
Notwithstanding, Germany has sent
an army against the Belgians and has
engaged in bloody affray with them !;
France is alleged by the Germans to
have used it for scouting and spying
expeditions, and In addition Is now
rushing soldiers there to meet the
Germans; and England is also send.
ing troops because the English had
agreed to aid Belgium in maintaining
neutrality. Surely 1t is strange
state Of affairs when one considers
that the very thing that the powers
had agreed not to do, is what is being
done.
There is another evidence of the
value Of the international agreements
in the present struggle. No sooner
had it broken out than Germany seized
private possessions of foreign ship,
ping firms, wireless towers and ap.
paratus and telegraph cables, all OF
which it had previously agreed
should be exempt from seizure. Eek
perts pointed out that even though
the kaiser knew he was violating In
ternational law, the fact that 1t was
to his best interests offset this and
made 1t appear advisable to make
the seizure and settle with the foreign
firms after the war.
Verify. there is reason to wonder
If an international agreement can be
made alright.

GETTING THE WAR NEWS

The difference Of time between con:
tinental Europe and this part of the
United States Ia so great that the
evening newspapers here are able to
print all of today's important war
news that the censors let filter
through the sources of information
without too much delay.
When it is noon in this vicinity it Is
6 p. m. in Germany, Austria and
European Russia Assuming no delays
in transmission Of news the papers
published here at o'clock would be
able to print the news Of the war up
to 10 o'clock at night. OF course
there is delay in getting news over
the cables. not only because Of the
mechanical difficulties encountered
because so many cables are cut, but
because military censors may hold up
news for hours. But even as 1t Is the
evening newspapers have been able
to print all the important develop
ments of the day in the war center
that has been allowed to go through
during the day.
The morning Chicago papers, for in,
stance, carry no real war news that
is not carried by the evening papers
of the day before.
