cal leaders in the south, is 45 years

Robert Lansing TO be Next President.

1t will surprise good many people
no doubt, to learn that, barring acci-
dents,s s,sSecretary Of State Robert Lam
sing will be the next president of the
United States. His term Of service
in the office is to be very brief, how
ever, for at the end of twenty-four
hours after assuming the presidential
rtoga he will doff it again in favor of
President Wilson or the nominee of
the Republican convention, accord
ing to the result of the November
eetion. The explanation of this
statement is to be found in the fact
that the 4th of March, 1917, falls on
a Sunday, and from noon Of that day,
when President Wilson's present
term expires, until such hour on the
following day as the oath of office is
administered to the neWly-elected
president, the secretary of state must
fill the chief exeeutiveship according
to the constitutional requirement.

The Object in Cattle D;pp;ne.

There is common, although erro-
neous, impression that the dipping of
cattle is merely to get the ticks off
them; and while this is partly true,
the chief part the cattle play in the
process is to keep gathering ticks
from the pasture ttick-infested) until
the ticks have all been gathered up
and destroyed in the dipping vat. If
the dipping is kept UP every 81 days,
without fail, that will be the result, as
the ticks develop on the animal and
fall off on an average of % days.
From this it is seen that the 21-day
dipping catches the ticks before they
have had time to drop of and produce
more ticks.
The ticks that are found on the
animals between dippings are those
that have been picked up since the
previous dipping and which would be
destroyed at the next II day dipping
period. H. Dalrymple, Louisiana

heart who cares for Il. Tie tragedy
Of his Wife's death brings to the artist
the master-tonch he has SO long

sunset Of life he realizes its emptiness
and futility, and yearns for the re-
turn of the child he had driven from
his heart. She, in the meantime, has
drifted through strange and varying
life. How the threads Of destiny
unite these parted souls, bringing to
each it's first genuine happiness, is.

all, man loved by all. His favorite
songs were: "Will There Be Any Star
in My Crown?" and "He Will Never
Leave Me Alone" The funeral was
conducted on Sunday, October lst by
the pastor, Rev. F. T. Porter. from
the church he loved. The church was
so filled with friends and loved ones
that the sorrowing hearts were COM
forted as they realized the sympathy
and esteem thus expressed.
From the church the remains were
taken to the family burial grounds at
Salt Creek and laid to rest with those
who had gone before. There in lit
tie valley the friends gathered round
and sang "Going Down the Valley
One by One,' and laid him away
under the flowers near his old home,
his boyhood playground and the
school house where he prepared for
manhood S work.
Those who are left are glad for his
life, glad that he had many friends
who will miss him, and glad he is now

bring sympathy in her loneliness. For
him all things are better and for her
