Mel Shepherd Would

Mel Sheppard. the peerless middle

Will continue an amateur athlete.
There has been much talk of late In
athletic circles about Sheppard going
to turn professional. but "Shep'' now
has hit all such tales In the head, by
saying that he will run amateur for
a while longer at least. But even with
Sheppard continuing to remain among
the simon pures for while, 1t
wouldn't be surprising II the former
champion branched out as an athletic
trainer soon. or late. on more than
one occasion, he had made the remark
that II he secured the right position,
he would give up the running game.

sires to do the remaining work on the

casieu and the Sabine rivers with a
hydraulic dredge instead of by the pro-

says that by the use OF the hydraulic
method the work can be completed
much sooner and with an added depth
to the canal The matter will be re
ferred by him TO property owners
along the route of the canal, since the
chief objection to the use of the
hydraulic dredge is the fact that mud
will be spread over adjoining lands

FREE FROM THE CATTLE TICK
-RRITORY IN EIGHT SOUTHERN
STATES FREE OF PEST.
On February 16 Over $1,000 Square
Miles of Territory to Be Released
From Quarantine.

Washington.-Th territory IN the
South freed from cattle ticks and re
leased from quarantine has been IN
creased by 17.1O6 square miles by
an order issued by the acting secre-
tary of agriculture, effective February
1G. 1914. releasing additional portions
of Virginia. North Carolina, Tonnes
see. Georgia. Alabama. Mississippi,
Oklahoma and Texas. This action
has been taken as result OF further
progress made in the determination
of the ticks which spread spIeneuc
or Texas fever of cattle. The tota!
area released since the beginning OF
the work in 1906 now aggregates 10
90S square miles and amounts to
about 80 per cent Of the territory in
fected at the time the work was un-
dertaken.
Tennessee is the first OF the states
extensively infested by the ticks to
be entirely freed from this pest and
released from quarantine. In 1906
about one-half OF this state was under
quarantine. The order just issued re-
leases a portion of Marion county
which was the last remaining part OF
the state to be cleaned up and re-
leased. The success Of the work IN
Tennessee has been achieved through
hearty cooperation by state and coun
ty officers and cattle owners with the
federal authorities. Several othei
states have also made rapid progress
in getting rid of the ticks and now
have large free areas.
The portions OF the several state:
to be released from quarantine OF
February IS under the order mention
ed are as follows:
In Virginia: The county OF SUISSE
and the balance Of the county o
Greensyille.
In Georgia: The counties of MOI
