 We cannot predict many things he says, but we kniw that in the past the new countries of the world have been financed by England mostly, and by France and Germany. It is nit a prediction but a fact that the new countries will have to get along with out Europe. This have known for 9 year. The cisterns of capital in the old-world countries have for the time being dried up, and that means that companies with maturing securities are faced with ruin, and that other companies cannot expand.

DIP THAT TICK.

Arkansas farmers are united on this big question as never before on anything and if all will get busy and do their share at home without wait ing for state aid and Government force the whole state will be free by December 1917. Why not? The tick is costing the farmers of Arkansas three or four million dollars every year and a vat only costs about forty dollars and the solution only about seven dollars for season and the farmers cannot afford to wait for state aid from the special tax. Why not get together and let everybody boost and keep good natured and build vats and dip. The counties where there is the best feeling and finest cooperation will naturally get state aid first, but the Extension Di- vision of the University, cooperating with the U. s. Department of Agri- culture is helping everywhere, re- gardless of "tick eradication" lines. urging neighborhood action.
