Charlie Britain were united in marriage, the Rev. I. F. Swal- low, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, officiating. Miss Bailey entered with her maid of honor, Miss Gertrude Burnett, and was met at the improvised altar, which was built of ferns and palms, by the groom and his best man, MT. Andrew Bailey. Both the bride and Miss Burnett were attractively gowned and carried arm bouquets of roses. Miss Bailey is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. A. Bailey and possesses a charming personality.

SETS HIM FREE

NO cows from Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana or Pennsylvania can live on our range. Our dairyman must have tick infested cows; they must be ticky now or be cows that have had them, or they die. ThI means the dairyman feeds the ticks, for ticks take blood and the cows must eat enough to sup port her own body and the ticks be- fore she gives a drop of milk.
 Tick free cattle give from one-half to one gallon of milk per day more than a tick infested COW in good con dition; so the tick costs the dairyman from 20 to 40 cents per day on each day as tax for his ticks, or if he prefers another name, he may say for the enjoyment of his privileges to have ticks if he wants them.
 Even at the cost of say $3 per day and the peril of the lives of others, some of our people don't seem to un- derstand what is proposed in this eradication movement. They pretend to believe that they will have to keep their cattle up in pens or pastures. This is untrue, the purpose is to kill out the ticks in the range as well as the pastures The good registered bulls will then be safe on the range. and the breed will improve, because they can be turned out. I have two would put on the range now were it not for certain death by ticks. When the range cows have been dipped until the tick is gone, see what bene :, fit get and my neigsbors get. I get a free pasture on the range and they get the benefit Of the breeding from registered bulls.
 ANOTHER FALSE STATEMENT
 So MT. Voter, don't get misled into the opinion that your cattle will have to be kept in pens, if you only dip them as required. l have heard another state- ment that tick men advance-that is, that charge is to be made or will be made for inspection. This is an untruth. The inspectors are paid a salary and should one of these intimate fee for his service his job would be taken from him by the United tSates authorities
 "The consumer of milk ought to have little consideration in view of the fact that his and his family's health is con stantly at stake from the use of the product. The physicians and scientist tell us that milk will carry disease from one locality to another; that cows drink ing from a pool or pond infected with fever germs will spread the fever by use of the milk. that tuberculous cows spread the great white plague. Who can say that some of the diseases we suffer now are not superinduced by milk from tickey cows? It at least contains some of the virus from sores and infection made on the cows by the tick-it is cer- tainly poisonous and not nutritious.
 If the consumer wants clean. whole some milk, and had two cows from which to take it, he would surely prefer COW not infected with vernin. If the con- sumer can help himself and the producer at the same time, he will not hesitate
