Stere0ptiCan Lecture.

Dr. A. F.. Wight, inspector-in-
charge OF tick eradication in
Arkansas and Louisiana, DR.. c.
A. Jerome, who is actively en-
gagged in this work in Louisiana,
and c. O. Carpenter, assistant
commissioner OF agriculture with
the Iron Mountain railway, were
in Dermott Monday according to
previous announcement and con-
Quoted meeting IN the audlto-
rum of Hotel Dermott IN the
evening. A representative crowd
of those interested in stock rais
ing was in attendance and DR..
Wight expressed himself to us
as we'll pleased with the interest
manifested.
The work Of tick eradication is
making rapid headwav over the
entire country, and the results
Justify the importance which Is
being attached to the work. One
third OF the United States has been
cleared oil cattle ticks. About one
half of the state OF Mississippi has
been cleared in the past three
years, and one-fourth of our own
state has been rldded of the pest
SO improved are conditions in the
territory where it has been eradl-
Gated, that a strict quarantine Is
enforced, and no cattle is allowed
TO be shipped from tick-iniested
territory into the territory where
It has been eradicated.
The cattle tick has nothing IN
ITS favor. The Importance OF get
ting rid OF II was torcibly demon
strated at the meeting Monday
night. This meeting was held
with a view to making definite
start with the work of tick eradl-
cation IN this section. The idea
IS to put in community dipping
vat, OF the style and dimensions
which has proven most satlstac-
tory in other sections. Proper
feeding and use OF silos was also
urged.
Other sections, where climatic
and agricultural conditions are
less favorable than here, att TAI
surprising us in the stock raising
industry, and 1t seems only an app
phcatlon OF common sense buSl-
ness methods TO take advantage oil
information offered by reputable
authorities in order to get the best
results in this as in any other bus
mess. Anyone interested and de
string information, can get same
by writing DR.. Wight at his office
IN Little Rock, as he will cheer
fully send pamphlets, etc, tree Of
charge.
Mr.. Carpenter, through whose
efforts the meeting was arranged,
has taken an active interest in de-
velopment OF farming and stock
raising IN this section.

the verdict of the Rota Tribunal annul-
ling her marriage to Count Boni de

Those who assumed that the social
position occupied by the Duchesse de

with theirs was rendered short time

Vincent AstOr will not become So

reasons for his stand that the plan Of

leaders in support Of the belief that So
cialism is not needed for the ameliora-
ton of present day conditions. His
letter in part, is as follows;

Mr.. Astor quotes from a report of the
American Federation Of Labor to prove
that there has been a general improve
ment in working conditions all along
the line, not only in wages and length
of the workday. but in protection for
the life and health of the laboring
classes. He continues:
The test of the degree Of civiliza-

be no question Of the statement that
the general standard of living among
Americans has been raised year after

modified tango and other modern
dances, which are permitted in Win

discusses the generally condemned

the Tango?" in part he says:
Meanwhile, while praying for So

great deal more religion, we urge our
young people and their grandmothers
and grandfathers and the little tango
toddlers who are making their debut at
the age Of nine-thirty to adhere 10 the
teaching of the best instructors:
keep the open position, the ex-
tended arm, without pump handle or
shoulder motions, and avoid extreme
dips
People may take any one OF three
stands. one says, Close the ballroom
and keep the young people knitting III

Puritans all things are impure On
