Boston Transcript: The record of Church
attendance Sunday was a demonstration
that our people in no part Of the country
were beyond the pale Of moral and
spiritual awakening. There are special
occasions in the year when the churches
are full. There are many who attend at
Faster and at Christmas who rarely at
tend at any other time They are
prompted by the spirit of the season.
They enjoy the music and the flowers.
Rut Sunday there were none of these at
fractions beyond the ordinary. Moreover,
there were contributions in prospect,
which as a rule are not a drawing fea-
ture. But never within the memory OF
the present generation has there been a
greater outpouring among all classes and
than that which answered the call OF the
president to make the day one OF prayer
for peace and righteousness in the world.

but 1t is in the winning, and one proof OF
the coming conquest is that now FOR al
most the first time. the eyes OF our coun-

not merely an evil. but preventable evil
! and one which It is the duty of the nation

have no call to hang their heads In shame

shame, nor the shame of that particular

NEW "sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER

., say, can you see by the dawn's early
light,
What so proudly We hailed as the twi-
lights last cleaning,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight,
Ger the ramparts We watched were so
gallantiy streaming?
And the rockets red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our
Rag was still there.
., say, DIES that star-spangled banner

Ger the land of the free and the home
OF the brave?

o, say, can you sec, you who glorlfy in
war,
All the wounded and dead OF the red
battles reaping?
Can you listen unmoved to the agonized
groans,
Hear the children who starve, and the
pale widows weeping?
Henceforth let us swear
Bombs shall not burst in air,
Nor wars desolation wreck all that Is
fair.
But the star-spangled banner by workers
unfurled
Shall give hope to the nations and peace
to the world.

You don't have to play poker with

Virtue is its own reward, but even an

Success always gets applause. but It

Love in a cottage and castles in the

Some people never borrow trouble so

Many man who says he studies to

A course in an agricultural school isn't
absolutely necessary in sowing crop Of
wild oats.
Some men are so constituted that they
would do anything for money except
work for It.
In the matter OF making mistakes most
OF us are willing to concede the superior
industry OF our friends.
1t sometimes happens that even the
man who always knows what to do can't
find any one to do it for him.
Self-conceit Is q good asset A man

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 10, 1914.
Mr.. Editor:
That the boil weevH has hung
ike the sword Of Damocles over the
heads Of the planters Of Mississippi
is a clear and demonstrated fact. Il
win yet, like the cattle tick and the
Texas fever, meet its complete
Waterloo, But the good lord knows
just when. But the cattle tick has
met It's Waterloo, and Mississippi
will soon become noted cattle rais-
ing State, and noted too for its
splendid cattle, and their cash value.
But how do we know thiS' Well,
Just because there are now fully
2,42s Dipping watts in actual cper-
alton in the State Of Mississippi, and
thirty counties once and recently
cursed by the eormorant cattle ticks
have been by the dipping watts en-
tirely freed from the nuisance and
taken out Of the clutch Of a most
drastic quarantine law, and ten more
counties are soon to Sc free. And
in those counties and in those same
watts, under the control Of fully forty
U. S. Inspectors In the month Of
August, 1913, 482, $40 horned cat
tie were dipped in this arsenical So
luton which kills the ticks and does
not injure the cattle. And .he work
is going on. Yes, the cattle tick is
doomed in Mississippi. But How
great has been the evill | answer
that the experts Of the Georgia Cen
trail Railroad have on oath reported
that the annual loss, cost and sheer
waste of the cattle tick nuisance was
not less than 81, 900, 900 per annum
for Che two States Of Georgia anc
Alabama alone, with full CORE.
spending loss to Mississippi. This
sworn report was made two years
ago since which time Mississippi has
seen the light. And the statistician'
Of the u. S. Department Of Agri
culture have estimated and fxeC
the entire loss and waste Of the en-
tire Sunny South by the cattle ticl
to be not less than S7s,00O,000 pc
annum. Now, these losses are use
less, unnecessary, and a sheer waste
