Tick Eradication

Editor Tupelo Journal: Since
the agitation for eradicafing the
cattle tick from our county has
been renewed. | have had several
enquiries from people wanting to
know if one whose pasture and
cattle are already free from ticks
would have to dip his cattle. To
settle this question. | wrote Mr..
c. B. Haddon, the fleld agent of
the live stock sanitary board.
The live stock sanitary boaro, IN
cooperation with the government
agents, have charge or the tick
eradication, and Mr.. Haddon is
therefore authority on the sub
jet, | quote Mr.. Haddon's reply
to my enquiry:
I'm regard to whether q man
having no ticks in his pasture
would be required to dip his cat
tie or not, you can state to the
people upon MY authority that
they will not. This. however,
does not mean that just as soon
as a pasture is found to be free
that dipping will be discontinued,
for a pasture having once been
found to be infested will be
quarantined for a period of not
less than five months. This is
in order to safeguard againsr
leaving any ticks or eggs in the
pasture"
This letter from Mr.. Haddon
answers also another question:
How long it will take to raise
the quarantine from one county
and completely clear it of ticks.
If dipping is begun in the early
spring every cattle tick and seed
of same in the county can be de-
stroyed in five or six months and
our county released from the
quarantine under which we now
suffer. Many other counties have
done it in this time, and why not
Lee county?
Respectfully,
J. @. ROBINS.

STEAMSHIP COMPANY OFF,
GALS FOUND GUILTY

The officials of the Hamberg-
American Steamship Co., tried
by a Jury in the federal court in
New York City on an indictment
charging conspiracy to defraud
the United States government
by making afidavits of clearance
Of vessels from American ports,
were: found guilty and three of
them were sentenced to the
Federal penitentiary in Atlanta
for rs term of eighteen months.
The fourth received a sentence
Of twelve months.
The sympathy Of the entire
country is with DR.. Carl Buenz,
president of the company, be-
cause of his extreme age and the
unfortunate contract that his
company had with the German
government at the outbreak OF
the war. This contract, made
in 1913, obliged the company TO
supply German war vessels at
'A3sea with munitions, and follow
ing out this contract DR.. Buenz
and his co-conspirators were
caught in the meshes of the
federal laws.
AS a result of this trial the
State Department announced
that Captain Boy-Ed and Captain
Won Papen, naval military at
taches of the German govern
ment at Washington, have been
ordered home by the president.
Bowed has been, from all ap-
pearances, at the head of the
great spy system which Germany
has maintained in this country
for some time. He has famil-
iarized himself with the military
conditions of this country ano
has used his position for the pur.
pose of affording Germany the
means of cutting off any aid thai
the allies were entitled to II
their dealings with our business
people. He and Won Papen have
made themselves conspicuouslJ
obnoxious to the United States
and President Wilson has beer
entirely too conservative in his
dealing with these free hooters
Pity it is that Boy-Ed could no
be placed in the shoes of ole
Doctor Boenz, who felt that he
was carrying out a Legitimate
contract in his official capacity,

The North Dakota building at the
Panama-Pacific International EXPOSE
ton was the second state building to
be completed on the grounds, and was
the first state building on the grounds
to have it's exhibits in place, ready
for the opening day. This fact has
brought a great deal of publicity to
North Dakota. The further fact that
North Dakota is the only corn state
in the Union that has a corn display
in it's building at the exposition is
working wonders in the matter Of. in
teresting people in the state.
Another interesting feature of the.
exposition at San Francisco is the
large number Of people from North
Dakota who are visiting the exposi-
sion tint had intended locating some
where on the coast, but who are DO
ing back to good old North Dakota
with the determination of spending
their remaining days upon the rolling
prairies instead of paying large prices
for inferior land. One mar in par
.ticular th~atyGoQld be cited, came to-
the coast With the idea Of buying land
and making his future home out here.
After he had investigated conditions
at every angle, he went back to North
Dakota, to invest his mony where the
land would bring a sure and safe re.
turn for the Investment.
Upwards Of 80 North Dakotans are
registering daily at the North Dakota
building, and after seeding it is ex,
pected that the number will increase
wonderfully.
At the dedicatory exercises Of the
North Dakota building, on Tuesday
Of this week, Hon. Burke Corbett,
formerly Of Grand Forks, made the
principal address.
North Dakota day is June 81, in
stead of May Fl. A mistake was made
in making the earlier announcement
Of this event. The. governor will be
at the North Dakota building on June.l

no ARE KILLED IN
 BELGIAN FACTORY

Paris, December 13.--One hundred and ten persons are reported to have been killed in yesterdays explosion in the Bel gian munitions factory at Havre, says a dispatch from that city to the Temps today
 ''The exact cause of the explosion has not yet been determined says the news paper. 'NThe investigation conducted has developed that one of the buildings con- tained boxes of ammunition which came from the United States sometime ago. An apparatus designed to cause deflagra- ton was discovered in one of these boxes and the laboratory examination which followed disclosed interesting facts. All the other cases are being. carefully in- Spected.
 While the workmen are known to be exceedingly careful. it is recognized that in the handling of explosives imprudence always is possible and it may be that the explosion was due to no other cause than this. 1t is also pointed out that German prisoners camp is located near the factories and that nine months ago yesterday the Desmarais Oil company s plant. also near the prisoners camp, was burned.',

 Frank A. Vanderlip has recently said that today substantially all transactions in exchange between Canada and Lon don take place through New York. The United States and Canada are one com munity now in exchange transactions with the outside world. If we exclude cotton from the consideration, then our largest foreign trade has been for some years with Canada, and Canada's with us. This trade relation is inevitably to increase, and will extend along the entire boundary line from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
