Some Southwest
crn Reflections

Get vour pumpkin YAM Slips
off of your mind and into the

of MAY. Then with proper cult
vatlon YOU ought to have potatoc,
large enough to market by the
first week i'll August
Now about cattle tick. Do Won
know what the farmers Of the
South pay every year for the
privilege of permitting those blood
sucking parasites to live on their
cattle?
The late Col. Exall, the great
Tonan authority on farm matters
places the damage done TO South
crn cattle by the cattle tick ut one
hundred million dollars.
We may well believe tins To be
reasonable estimate when we
understand that these ticks will
take from 800 to 100 pounds Of
blood out of stCar each year.
Those things being true, can
YOU wonder that our ocrawuy,
tick depicted cattle in the south
are called scrabs", that the
government had drawn quaratinc
line around the tick infested zone
and that Southern cattle arc
Disseminated against i'll all the
big northern markets?
Still, nothing but our unaccount-
able indifference permits this dis
elimination To stand By getting
rid of the cattle tick we Shall be
on equal footing with the balance
of the world in all the markets. If
VIC show a disposition 10 help or
selves the United States Govern
meat will assist It's.
We must declare war of cx-
termination against the cattle tick
and every man must be a soldier
IN this campaign. We cannot
permit the finest ike stock country
III the United States to maIlify It's
advantages by inaction
\ series of meetings will be held
during the month Of May in which
distinguished experts will discuss I

vital to the agriculture of this
State.

ment Bureau has enlisted for the .
war. Join us and lets make this .
a great cattle producing section.

To H. A. Davie, deputy city attor-

The credit for the good fortune when
has befallen the lucky miner. Connel
came to Davie last July with the story
that he knew Judge Davie, the local
attorneys father, who was formerly

hard-luck story and pleaded for WORK.
Davie gave him some odd jobs clean

for which he paid the man two DOLLARS
After the work was completed the
stranger asked for six dollars Tor rail-
way fare to Seattle, from which place
he intended to go to Alaska. The man
anneared to be honest, and he gave
Cornell six dollars.
That was the last heard of the man
until a few days ago, when he received
q letter written from the White Horse
river. Yukon territory. Conneil SAT-
that he had reached Alaska and nat
gone to the Chisana gold nelds, AM
there had located on three claims.

Used BY THE SCANDINAvlANS
Nautical Terms Common Today Are
Easily Traced to the Days OF
the Old Vikings.

When we say ship is bound for
certain port or home ward bound. we
are using, not the past particle, as
we might think, of the English verb to
bind. but of a Scandinavian word
meaning to prepare, to get ready-a
word which in the form of "boun" still
lives on In northern dialects.
'Billow" is probably Scandinavian
word which survived in one of the
northern or eastern dialects, which
still preserve so many Danish words.
II made its way into southern English
in a literary standing by its use by
Spenser and Shakespeare.
Wake" for the track OF ship Is
another Scandinavian word preserved
in dialect. It's original meaning, as
Professor Skeat tells US. was that Of
an opening in the ice, especially the
massage cut for ship in frozen LAKE
or sea, and then. from being applied
to the smooth watery track left by thu
ship after its passage through the ice
