TICK FREE IN 1920
Arkansas Is Thought Will be Free of
 Cattle Ticks in Four Years

Little Rock Nov. 23-(SpeciaD - It is predicted by State Veterinarian R. M. Cow that Arkansas will be tick free by 1920, which will mean the sav- ing of millions of dollars to the cattle industry of Arkansas. In the recent election, the voters of Miller, Clark, Pike, Howard and Lafayette count ies registered their vote for the sys- tematic eradication of the cattle tick. They did this voluntarily, as no spe- cific campaign was conducted to in duce them to vote for it. By Decem- Der this year at least six more coun- ties will be added to the tick-free dis trict of the state.

GUARDS NOT TO
 BE WITHDRAWN
Thought that Gen. PershingS Forces Will be Withdrawn Soon.
 Conflicting Reports.

Washingttn, NoH. 25.-The national guard will not tc withdrawn from tho horder, it was said at the War De- pa1tment today. until after the with IraWal of tine Pershing expedition from Mexico.
 It was stated that no redisposition Of General Pershings forces will be made until after the formal ratifica- tion of the protocol signed by the members of the American-MeXican Joint Commission at Atlantic City.
 The exact time for the withdrawal of the army from Mexico will be de- termined it was stated by General Funston and General Pershing.
 It is hoped at the department that the withdrawal may be ordered before Christmas, although it was em- phasized that no definite promise was possible.
 It was learned today that a positive assurance was given the Mexican sec tion of the joint commission that in the event of satisfactory adjustment of the border problem being reached by their efforts the United State gov ernment would lend its good offices to Mexico in obtaining loan in this country. The amount of the loan could not be learned.
 Negotiations for the loan are already in progress, but no conclusion will be reached until the Atlantic City proto- col actually is ratified by the Mexican government.
 The loan is expected to be secured by taxes, rather than by import or ex- port cut'cs and it is not believed for eign supervision of Mexico's fiscal ar engagement will be required by those making the loan.
 The loan also will be used. it was stated by person in position to know, to assist Mexico in liquidating large amount of the claims to be preferred against her by citizens of the United States and other countries who have suffered injury in person or property during the course of the sev- eral revolutions.

WILL HAVE PIG
 CLUB CONTEST
Prize Pig from Each Club in Arkansas to Be Shown in Little Rock in
 February, Says Dr. Cow.

Little Rock. Nov. 27.-The State contest for the pig club boys of Ark ansas to be held at the livestock ex- hibit and sale in Little Rock February 6, z and 8, is announced by Dr. R. M. Cow. State veterinarian, with the University of Arkansas. Of the con- test, Dr. Cow says:
 We are glad to announce this con- test because we believe it will add ma- terially to the interest and value of the sale and exhibit of the Arkansas Livestock Growers Association. Twen- ty-one hundred youthful farmers who belong to the pig clubs of the state and are working under the supervis- ion of H. K. Saunders will be given a chance to place their pigs in competi- tion at that time. The Duroc, Poland China, Berkshire and Hampshire as- sociations have signified their inten- tion of giving attractive prizes to the winners at the State contest. At this contest the prize pig from each county shaving a pig club will be on exhibi- tion. In order to decide upon the rrize pig, there will be preliminary 4cpntest in each county at which the pig club boys of the county club will exhibit their pigs and compete with each other for the place as their coun- ty representative at the Little Rock show. The winners will undoubtedly accompany their pigs and be on hand to explain the methods of hog raising which already have attracted State wide attention among the adult agri- culturists in every section of Arkan- sas. The contest is not only sure to be of interest to parents and friends, but to all livestock fanciers, because the pigs which will be brought to Little Rock will be selected from at least 2,1OO of the best pigs in the State and 1900 of these are registered ami malls with recognized blood strains and parentage.
 Swine Associations Interested
 "The swine associations represent ing the various types of purebred hogs are particularly interested in the con- ing contest because they recognize the fact that Arkansas is coming live

whole Sim Fein movement was
laughable and should not ne taken
seriously"
Saws He Warned Asquith.
Midleton's statement that he had
warned Premier Asquith OF the seri-
business OF the situation In Ireland,
was one OF the sensations OF today's
Testimony. He declared that he placed
all the facts before dhe prime min
lister on January rs.
Asquith evidently called tie matter
to the attention OF .n slsTeiis "A month

reckless and foolish and enormously
promote disloyalty."
Middleton said he told Sir Matthew
