:. Community Vat

Community Vat
Tuesday morning at the appoint
ed time some of the citizens of the
Nettle Ridge settlement gathered
their cattle at the community dip
ping vat just built, and proceeded to
dip them. There were $50 cattle,
forty-nine hogs, one mule and nine
dogs included in the animals dipped.
There was quite a crowd gath
cred to see the first dipping of this
settlement and everyone expressed
themselves as bling we'll pleased We
are taking so much interest in hav-
ing their stock dipped and we feel
sure that in short while the tick
will be entirely eradicated."
Outside people with capital will
come to Florida to buy farm lands
and start raising cattle just as soon
as the ticks are eradicated, or even
while the work is being done, pro-
vided there is unanimous sentiment
in the desired locality for tick eradi-
cation, which will guarantee that
the work will be pushed as fast as
possible.
The counties which show the
most energy in eradicating the ticks
are the ones which will get the peo-
pie who want to come to Florida to
raise cattle and do general farm
ing, so tick eradication work looks
like a good investment for every
county which wants more settlers

Mentioning the financial loss
caused by cattle ticks the Florida
Chief, published in Winter Haven,
suggests that Florida eradicate the
ticks and spend the money getting
more people to come to the State to
raise more cattle,
DR.. E. NJ. Nighbert, who has
had long experience in tick eradi-
cation work for the government, re-
Gently stated: Almost invariably
the disappearance of ticks is accom-
panied by an increase in the guam
tity and an improvement in the quail
ity of the country's live stock.
The Palm Beach Post reports that
w. w. Waters, of Missoula, Mont,
arrived there early this month for
the purpose of starting a cattle
ranch in Palm Beach county. He has
made arrangements to dispose of his
cattle and other interests in Mon
tana and will Immediately commence
accommodating herd of cattle for his
Florida ranch.
Mr.. Waters has been requested by
a number of Montana cattle men to
advise them as to the prospects for
cattle raising in Florida as the cat
tie days are nearly over in Montana,
owing to dividing the pastures up
into small farms, and the cattle men
are seeking new locations.
AS he thinks well enough of the
local conditions to make large in
vestments, no doubt he will urge his
Montana friends to locate in Palm
Beach cunty to continue their cat
tie raising activities.
1,700-Acre Ranch
The st. Johns County Herald, pub
lished in Hastings, recently con-
tanned an article about the Little
field-Erwin Company, which has
been organized to engage in farming
and stock raising near Tocoi.
Among the first improvements
made on the 1,7O0-acre ranch was
the construction of a dipping vat
and erection of some silos. Among
the stock holders in this company
are a number of New York business
men, who see in Florida a great OPP
portunity for making profitable in
vestments in land and live stock.
The Southern Cattle Company
which started operations in Clay
county this year, put in dipping watts
as part of it's first improvements.
Practically every large cattle COM
pany, which has begun operations in
Florida during the past year, has
either located in tick-free territory
or made provision for graduating
the ticks, which should be a demon
stration to all cattle owners that
tick eradication is worth while.
Community watts will solve the
problem in districts where each
farmer owns fe MAMMALS but does
not feel justified in building a vat
for his own use.

PICKING JURY
TO TRY ORPET
University of Wisconsin Student Accused
of Numbering Illinois High
School Girl.

Waukegan, ILL.,, May l6.-The trial OF
viii H. Orpet, student of the University
of Wisconsin, for the alleged murder, on
Feb. 0, of Marian Lambert, a high school
girl, began yesterday.
Before the Jurors were chosen yester-
day States Attorney Ralph Dady said
that he would choose jurors not opposed
to capital punishment. When the jurors
have been selected they will be taken to
the Three Oaks, in Helms woods, where
Marian Lambert was found dead. There
before them will be rehearsed the trag-
edy that led to the prisoners arrest.
The state charges that 0rpet won the
girls love and betrayed her, and then, to
hide his duplicity while paying court to
another girl, gave her poison. The de-
tense win rest on the contention that
the girl committed suicide as result of
Orpet's attentions to another girl.
The chief witnesses in the trial will be
Miss Josephine Davis, the chum of Mar
ian Lambert, to whom she told all her
troubles, and Miss Celeste Youker, whom
Orpet courted after he had discarded
Miss Lambert Orpets father will also
be called to tell whether he had kept
cyanide where his son could have got it.
0rpet came to court still defiant and
refusing to talk with either friends or
strangers.
Sunday when reporters called to inter
view him, he broke into profanity and
ordered that no one be permitted to come
near him save his counsel.
Mrs. Lambert was at home yesterday
for the first time since she was taken
to a sanatorium to prevent total col
lapse over the tragedy of her daughters
death. Frank Lambert, the girls father,
very bitter toward Orpet, said that he
wanted to see justice done.
Il do not see how they can clear him.

TAFT ON STAND

witness was William Howard TAFT. HI
appeared as a character witness for c. G
Glover, president OF the Riggs Nationa
bank, a defendant with two other Off
Gals of the institution, charged with per
jury.
Mr.. Taft's appearance was one Of the
sensations promised by the defense. II
had the desired effect, being presented
in dramatic fashion by John B. Stanch-
field, chief counsel for the defense.
The ex-president occupied the same
witness box where Guiteau sat to tell
his story of the shooting of President
Garfield and where Mrs. ANNA Bradley
told her story Of the shooting of Senator
Brown of Utah.
His father, Mr.. Taft said, was Yale
classmate of George w. Riggs, found
er OF the bank. When he came to Wash
ington as solicitor general he renewed
the acquaintance made by his father and
met Glover in a social way. Mrs. Glover
and Mrs. Taft are friends, he said. He
carried an account at the bank and had
made investments on Glover's suggos-
tions, he said. His account, he said,
grew, as it got into presidential proper
tions.'
He said In answer to questions that
he had many acquaintance in Washing
ton who knew Glover and gave as his
opinion that Glover has good reputa-
ton.
Government counsel asked no qucs-
tions and Mr.. Taft was excused.
