n y INVITATION 10 JOIN New York
"A association has reached this office. IL
dominates us as one of the select in these
words. Membership. OF course. is not
open TO every one. but and, rs It
enrages us by the following words, we're
going TO say things about il
"Are YOU the most envied person IN

This Mentor association is fathercd by
Professors Hibben of Princeton, Van
Dyke OF Rutgers. Hare of Harvard and
others of high educational repute., and
about the first thing they ought 10 do
is TO go out aud kick themselves all over
their college campuses for the viciousness
with which they start out their invitation
to Join their Mentor association

spected for whatever we've got or can
get in the way of money. influence or

We have only pity and disgust for
the Individual or association whose mis-
sion il is TO get so much OF anything that
those who haven't so much will boil with

COMMON TAPEWoRM IN LAMBS
Not Believed That They Are Respon.
sIble for Many Deaths Of Animals,
Says Western Expert.

tBy I. e. NEwSOM, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
The common tapeworm of lambs is
one that has habit of getting into
the duct leading from the liver, and
for this reason many who have exam
ined sheep. dead of disease, have sus-
pected the tapeworm of causing the
death. It might be well to state that
more than go per cent of all western
lambs have these tapeworms, as evil
denced by finding them on the kill
ing floors at the large packing houses.
While it must be admitted that in q
few instances they may cause some
trouble, yet it is not believed that they
are responsible for many of our lamb
losses.
During the siege of the Kansas
horse disease some man unfamiliar
with the normal conditions in horses
for the first time found Palisade
worms in the abdominal arteries of
dead horses. He at once jumped at
the conclusion that these worms were
responsible for the disease. Had he
known that approximately s5 per cent
Of all horses have these same worms,
his reputation might not have suffered.
It is rather common for veterinarians
to diagnose tapeworms in dogs, and in
about 95 per cent these diagnoses are
correct, but that the tapeworms In
these animals are responsible for dis
ease is not at all evident, except in q
very small percentage Of cases. So It
is with these tapeworms in lambs.
They can always be found in posting
any large number of animals, but that
they are responsible for any serious
disease is evident only in few cases.

Oklahoma City.-The most definite
assurance that Oklahoma City will be

In which the proposed Tenth circuit

Congressman Joe B Thompson of the
Fifth Oklahoma district wired Attor-
ney e. G. McAdams that the house
judiciary committee reported favor
ably on the passage of the bill. The
vote on reporting stood nine for and
six against, the telegram stated.
AS reported from the judiciary COM
mittee the bill is amended so as to
provide that two terms of the pro-
posed court be held in Oklahoma City
each year, and two in Memphis, Tenn.
rhe court would sit here in the
months of April, May, October, Novem-
Der and December, and in Memphis, In
other seven months. The amendment
providing for the new court to sit in
the Oklahoa capital was prepared by
Attorney McAdams, who was dele
gated by the Oklahoma County Bar
association to go to Washington to
take care of Oklahoma City's interest.
Mr.. McAdams is president of the
county bar association.

The proposed Tenth circuit court OF
