THREE MILLION IDLE IN UNITED
STATES EVEN IN NORMAL TIMES.

In the January Woman's Home Com
panion Secretary Of Labor William b.
Wilson says:
1.-The magnitude of the normal un-
employment cannot be ignored. If we
include agriculture pursuits, there are
about 100000 people idle in the
United States an average of two
months; 100000 idle an average OF
five months, and about 100000 idle an
average of forty-two weeks. Finding
a lob. therefore, becomes problem
of skill as much as holding the job
once it has been found.
"The paramount object of the new
employment bureau has been to get
machinery in operation by which the
unemployed men and women of the
country can be picked up in one place
and put into another place where
labor is needed. 1t is hoped that ulti-
mately the industries can be so
charted that it will be known just
what the employing power of an in
dustry is in the months of its maxi
mum pay roll, and be able to know
when, in any industry, the maximum

sgBscRffifoHs RATES:
ERADICATION OF CATTLE TICK
PROCEEDS.

The first annual report of the pres
ent board of agriculture prepared by
Secretary Lawhead of that depart
ment gives some interesting figures
on the work accomplished by the
boards of county commissioners in the
counties where the fight against the
cattle tick is being vigorously carried
forward.
Under this head the following con-
crete facts are presented:
During the season from January
II, 1915, to December 20, 1915. there
have been dipped 34S.11S head Of
cattle These 34S,l1S head of cattle
have been dipped on the average Of
eight times, making a total of 2,0Sl,-
432 dippings, or an estimate of $4,000
head of cattle to the county. Twenty
one counties are actively engaged and
four more have recently begun .ne
tick eradication work.
uc WOIh has DttH Cdllltu OIl lloSt
successfully, due largely to the hearty
cooperation of the state, federal and
county authorities During the same
season the state spent s1S,65S.93; the
federal government $5S,S556O; ard
the counties $66,010.94, or a tota ex-
penditure of $13S,525.47.
'Much credit is due certain private
individuals who have built and main
tanned their own dipping watts, there
being about 1872 such vats. The coun-
ties have 442 watts or a total of 574
watts in active operation.
Figuring an increase of $700 per
head on the original number of cattle,
34S,11S head, or. account of tick eradi-
cation work, you arrive at the figures
OF $2,436,S26.00 advance in the vaIu-
alton of the stock This increase Of
500 per head is the price the cattle
would bring if free from ticks, and
not compelled to be sold in the south
ern division.
"Deducting the sum of s13S,525.47,
4he cost of carrying on the tick eradi-
cation work, from the increased value
Of the cattle, or $2,436,S26Oo, you
have net increase in the valuation
Of the cattle of S2,29S,3O053.
"The board last spring adopted
resolution requiring that after the
first day of November, 1915, all cattle
coming from below the federal line in
the state of Texas, Arkansas and ali
quarantined territory, be required to
be double dipped, seven to eight days
intervening between dippings, in order
to free them from ticks before they
are admittd to Oklahoma.

to clean up the territory in the state

News Bulletin.

Larger postal savings deposits
will now be accepted at the post
Office. This is made possible by
an important amendment to the
Postal Savings Act just approx
ed by President Wilson. A pos
tai savings depositor may now
have an account amounting to
81, 900 upon which interest will
be paid. Formerly $500 was the
maximum amount he could haye
to his credit. This enlargement
of postal savings facilities will
be very gratifying to thousands
of depositors who have already
reached the old $500 limit and
are anxious to entrust more of
their savings to Uucle Sam.
Another feature of the amend
ment that will avoid further en-
barrassment to the public and TO
postal officials is doing away
with the limit on the amount
that could be accepted from d
depositor monthly. Under the
old law only 500 could be de-
posted in calendar month.
The amendment abolishes this
restriction. While the Postal
Savings System has already
proved a signal success as is
shown by the fact that more than
half-a-million depositors have
over eighty million dollars stand
ing to their credit, still it has
fallen short of meeting the full
demands of the public because
Of the restrictions which have
now been eliminated. Postmas-
ter General Burlesou and Third
Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery have been tireless in
their efforts to secure a rf1odifi-
cation of the limitations and the
new liberalizing legislation is
particularly gratifying to them.

Tornado Destroys
Oklahoma Tokp

DsnisoH, Texas, May d.
Nine persons killed and 50 in
jured and Kemp City, Okla, 8
miles east of Denison, was wiped
off the map by a tornado which
last night swept a path three
quarters of mile wide and five
miles long in the Kemp City Sec
tion. Only three small dwell
ings remain standing at Kemp
City.
Twelve business houses, a two
story hotel and 90 residences
were demolished in Kemp City.
This is the second time in recent
years that the little town of 300
inha bitants has been visited BY
a tornado. Merchants said tina t
the town probably would not be
rebuilt.
Eight were killed in the town,
while the other victim, a child,
was killed in the collapse of its
fathers home, just across Red
river in Texas.
Of the 80 persons injured, Sc
are residents of Kemp City. Two
daughters of DR.. Mccullough
we're hurt at the time their
younger sister was killed in the
Mccullough home, FIVE miles
east of Denison. Most of those
injured were caught in the col
lapse of buildings while trying
to reach storm cellars shortly
after the storm broke at 9:23 P.
M. Saturday.
The bodies in several instances
were found hundreds of yards
from where their houses had
stood. The 2-year-old child of
Doctor and Mrs. Crimson, who
we're killed, was hurled 500 feet
with flying debris when the
Brinson residence was destroyed,
but the child suffered only minor
injuries.
After the storm passed emer-
gency treatment was given the
injured in darkness, with rain
falling in torrents. A special
train. carrying IL physicians
from Denison, did not reach
Kemp City until several hours
after the tornado passed.
