2sO CATTLE TAKE A BATH.
How Sevier County "Swats the Tick
 and Adds to Its Wealth.

From the DeQueen Bee.
 Two hundred and eighty cattle and several horses were given a free bath at the DeQueen public vat last Saturday forenoon.
 The ceremony was presided over by County Demonstrator J. A. Wolf ford, and the event was participated in by stock of all ages. including sleek Jerseys with pedigrees, gentle old milk cows and range cattle.
 The health resort has a reception yard and narrow chute leading to the bath. Into this shute the cattle are driven from the reception yard. Different animals approach the vat and make the plunge in different manner. Those which have been there before go unhesitatingly and jump as far as they can into the turbid water Others have to be urged and tremble at the brink Calves are timid and sometimes turn around and try to swim out the way they went in, and have to be turned around All of the anil mals are thoroly immersed and are required to swim for a short dis tance until they strike an incline and are able to wade out at the oth- CT end of the pool where they enter another pen from which they are released and driven away by their owners.
 It is claimed that in counties where dinnlOQ has bpep puganad in systematically for a period of tive years. the ticks have vanished en- tirely and stock from such localities bring from S5 to S20 per head more than stock from tick infested dis tricts, while st0ckgrowing and dai- rying has been greatly encouraged

 When asked for the reason for thc ieerease in the disease. the ma- Sority of them said 1t is due to the raising of more foodstufl by Arkan- sas farmers especially the raisins of vegetables, peas. hogs. cattle ane chickens. Fresh vegetables. fresl eggs and pure milk are necessary as a diea. both for the cure and for the prevention Of the disease The in- creased interest in the raising oi khese products has had a very ben eii@al result in checking the dis ease. which was very prevalent al this time last year

Mountina Newspaper ENnenses.

From The Kansas City Star
 Newspapers generally nave as sumed that the public was not in-
 terested in their business arrange
 ments such an unprecedented situation has arisen, however, in connection with the advance in the cost of print paper-and. for that matter, of practically everything that enters into newspaper produc- tion-that newspapers all over the country are being compelled to make readjustment of advertising and subscription rates to meet the new conditions.
 White paper is the chief item of expense in newspapers of general Icireulation, and in the last few months it's price has advanced 20 per cent, 50 per cent. and even in some cases i00 per cent For met ropoitan newspapers this means an added cost of production of sew cral hundred thousand dollars a year. The advance in other mater lals, while not so great is very ma terial. and increases the gravity of
 the problem.
 The magazines are feeling the same pressure The August issue of the Worlds Work, for instance, devoteS considerable space to the paper situation, while Life, the ln- dependent and other periodicals have explained to their readers the necessity of changes in their cir culation schemes because of the emergency.
 Newspapers and magazines alike are doing their best to tide over the situation with no radical changes. It is only prudent, however. to re- eognize the fact that if the advances Of the last few months continue as they seem likely to--the entire periodical business will have Co be readiuSted.
