CONCRETE DIPPING VATS
The Most Practical Method For Tick
 Eradication.

The most practical method for tick eradication in Arkansas is the use of the concrete dipping vat and the svs- tematic dipping of cattle Immediate ly after couHty is placed in the tick eradication district, from 25 to 40 dipping vats are built in various sec. tiOns of the county. The vats are To- cated so that cattle will not have to be driven more than three miles 10 be dipped.
 Cattle are allowed free range and are not quarantined in pastures. but every three weeks during the summer season they are dipped at a designated vat Where the majority of people want to eradicate the tick it only takes about two years to clean a conn ty, however it can be done quicker The only reason for taking two years is th"t with some cattle owners m- 0sr r,.v.., or hostile, cattle are often ha q to find on the range.
 Tae system of constructing dipping yats and the systematic dipping of catde has passed beyond the expert mental stage. In Arkansas the sve tematic dipping of cattle was frs, tried by the writer in Newton county The cattle were allowed the free range and were dipped every tbroe

 The seed bed should be thoroughly broken and firmly settled. The use of the disk harrow and sec tion harrow before seeding leaves the seed bed in ideal condition Seeding with drill instead of broadcast, according to the results of various experiment stations gives an increased yield ranging from two to four bushels
 Tests carried for five years at the Arkansas Experiment Station, in dicate that seeding spring oats at the rate of two and one-half to three bushels to the acre gives best and most economical returns More seed is required for seeding broadcast than with a drill, and no less thar three bushels should be sown in this way.
 Spring varieties adapted to the state are characterized by earliness in ma turlty. Northern varieties as a rule are later maturing, rust badly, produce considerable straw, and do not fill out well. Results of variety test at the Arkansas station have shown that Burt oats lead in yield among spring varieties. This oat is Of a light dun color and has a slender bearded grain. The Red Rust Proof variety with its various strainS--Appier and Texas Red-also give satisfactory results. Early yellow eats-Kherson and Six ty Day-do fairly well in north Ar kansas

LEGAL POINT OF IMPORTANCE
Breaking of Will Must Be Along Certain Line.

The New York Law Journal tells of two cases recently decided which are of some interest upon the contention quite frequently made that testators were victims of insane delusions,' when in fact, they had merely i'm bibed false impressions or were strongly prejudiced or eccentric in their modes of thought. In re Alex anders estate in the supreme court of Pennsylvania, it was laid down that a "delusion' of a testator, such as will invalidate a will, must be ''an insane belief or a mere figment of imaginatiOn-a belief in the existence of something which does not exist and which no rational person, III the ab- sence of evidence would believe to exist It was further laid down that the burden is on a party relying on the existence of deluSion to invali- date a will to prove that such delusion controlled the testator's volition and destroyed his freedom of action in dispOsing of his estate. The evidence was held insufficient to show that the will was executed in consequence of an insane delusion on the part of the testatOr, the petitioners father, though testator practically disinherit- ed her and may have been mistaken in his judgment that she had been guilty of unnatural conduct toward him and her mother.

CHANGE NAMES OF STREETS
Frenchmen Find Time for Small Things in Midst of a National
 Crisis.

The French are a curious compound of earnestness and lightness. No mat. ter how imminent a crisis, or how threatening the ruin, they never fail to pay all due attention to the correct out ward form. In the present tremendous crisis of French affairs one would think that the last thing the Parisian author ities would concern themselves about would be the naming of streets. And yet according to recent dispatches, the city council, upon hearing of the brave defense made at Liege, passed an ordinance changing the name of the Rue de Berlin to the Rue de Liege.
 This was more than duplicated in 1870. After the catastrophe of Sedan, the ruin of Napoleon HIS empire and the establishment of the infant repub- lie, the national assembly, sitting in Paris on matters for the safety of the country, while the Prussians were laundering down upon the city, con cerned themselves largely with chang. ing the names of things from 'Imperi. al and Royal to National Among others, they passed, after a heated de- bate, decree changing the name of the royal Bengal tiger in the Paris zoo to that of the national Bengal tiger, and instructed the custodians to see that the signs were changed at once

THE BLUES: RiCHMoND's BRIDE

The Richmond Light Infantry Blues organiza-
ton is one Of the possessions of which Richmond
is proudest In history, in appearance, in per
scnnel, the battalion demands attention. The
Blues now engaged in an effort to raise funds
to pay their way to San Francisco as the repre-
sentatives Of Richmond and the state of Virginia
or Virginia Day at the exposition.
Al the recent session OF the Legislature the
State of Virginia appropriated $500 towards
the expenses OF the trip. The Blues themselves
have undertaken to raise half the fun cost esti-
mated at $4,000, leaving balance Of $500 to
complete the $4,000 fund required to foot the
bills for the trip
When representations were made before the
Legislature of Virginia by Richmond members
it was positively stated that the City Council
would appropriate $500 as the city's contribu-
ton towards the trip. That pledge will need 20
be made real by action of Council when The
matter comes ZIP for disposal, as It will come
before the Finance Committee tonight.
