average.
Then 1t mast be remembered that
the 500 pound calf is worth more
per pound than the $50 pound
scrub 1t is a better quality of
meat and brings better price.
IL We are to get the best there is
to be had from the production of
CATTLE. we must grow better cattle,
and to do this successfully, we
must get rid of the tick.
The labor necessary to produce a
bale of cotton will produce six or
eight calves that will readily bring
from $3.50 to So 00 IL we can't
grow cotton successfully, let's
grow cattle If beef steak is to
sell at Fifty cents per pound, as has
been frequently predicted for the
next few years, what care we if we
ka2s the beef steak to sell? But
to do this successfully, we must
get rid of the tick.
Now to get rid of the tick will
cost some good hard money and at
the same time some hard work and
Inconvenience. This side of the
matter is given SO that no man can
say that he has been misinformed
or misled. The voter must weigh
one against~the other and determine
for himself whether he desires to
get rid of the ticks or not.
The average cost of tick eradica-
tion in the Mississippi counties
cleared. has been approximately
fifty cents per head. That includes
the amount expended by the
United States. the state and the
counties. The voter has an idea
of the cattle in your county and
can safely base his estimate upon
these figures.
= The U. S Government and the
state both come in and help to do
this work, sharing in the expense.
But. if for an expenditure of fifty
cents, an animal can be made worth
at least SIS more, is 1t not a sensible
thing to do?
When county takes up the work
of tick eradication and the rules
and regulations are placed in force.
there will be inconvenience for
somebody A vat cannot be placed
IN front of every mans gate and
in some instances considerable
drive will be necessary. Then,
there are families that have no one
to drive the cattle. Good neigh-
bors will always take care of a.
good neighbor in cases of this Kind
and help to Tighten the load.
The work Of tick eradication is
not child's play, but a plain, stern
business proposition. If your
county votes in, every effort will
be made to strictly enforce the law
and get rid of the ticks. This is
done as quickly as possible to light
en- the expense.
IL every animal in the county
was dipped every fourteen days for
four months. there would not be a
live tick in the county. If the
people would do this of their own
free will and accord, there would
be no need of inspectors and a
great mart of the exnpnse Wnuld he

NAPIER PLEAD GUILTY.

Ed. Napier, alleged to have set
fire to the Golden Rule hall at East
Lynn on April oath last, plead
guilty to arson and was sentenced
TO two years in the penitentiary.
This case attracted great deal of
attention the court room being
crowded when the case wss called
for trial.
j. II. Meek Of Huntington, and
p. II. Napier of Wayne, appeared
as attorneys for the defense, while
the state was represented by Pros
eduting Attorney Dan 3. Hard
wick, State Fire Marshal J. 5.
Koran and Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral j. II. Morrison.
When court opened, J. II. Meek,
for the defense, announced that the
defense was ready TO offer a plea of
guilty and accept two years in
the pepitentisry a. sentence. Fire
Marshal Koran, for the state, &C
cepted the plea, and, on his recon-
mendation, all other charges against
Napier we're noIlied.
Koran said that be and Pros
ecuting Attorney Hardwick had
made a thorough investigation of
the case, aud that it was rather
weak az far as facts were concerned,
although circumstantial evidence
was strong. Koran said that the
sentence would probably not me t
with the approval Of the people Of
the East Lynn vicinity, bat that he
really thought that two years means
life time to Napier, who il in
very poori health.

Henry Justice and J. NJ. Napier,
alleged TO have been impli Gated in

To the Farmers of West
Virginia.

On account of the war waging
in Europe, the Department of
Agriculture would advise farmers
of West Virginia to SOW a good
area of wheat this coming season.
No matter what the result of the
war will be or..of how long duration,
it has already created a market
for wheat which will be far beyond
any demand we have had in recent
years.
1t seems TO us that it will be i'm
possible under the circumstances
not to have a good market for all
the wheat that can be produced
in the United States next year,
and that the price will not be ma
terially effected. American farm
ers must feed the world while
Europe is fighting and we must
keep up our home supply as well
which will also be drawn on extern
sively by the warning countries.
Special attention should be
given to the preparation of the
seed bed, and where commercial
fertilizers are ueed a grade should
be purchased that Is adaptable to
the soil. In our judgmen. the
farmers of West Virginia will
make no mistake In giving par.
ticular attention to this subje ct this
fall.

Summer Constipation Dangerous.

Constipation in summer time is more
dangerous than in the fall, winter or
ing. The food you eat is often con-
tamin mated and is more likely to ferment

weather, thus injurinR your stomach.

Harry received no letter from

man to earth. He knew that he
would never dare to set foot inside
Miss Cavendish's house again. Evil

the engagement at the time she

forgiveness. Perhaps he could make
her understand, although to a wom-

impossible. .-.....
With determination that did not

agonies of spirit he endured during
the day only he knows.
He was shown into the same room
as before. The room was empty.
And while he stood there; desperately
gathering together the few strands
of courage that remained to him, the
door opened and Miss Cavendish hob
bled in with her crutch.
She came up to him and held out
both hands.
