factors in promoting eradication. 1t
! is customary for these associations
10 apply to the county board for the
materials for the vats and for the
chemicals used in the baths. Until
satisfactory arrangements have been
made in this or some similar way
for the construction of sufficient
vats to accommodate all the cattle
in the county without driving them
long distances, the time is not ripe
to undertake active eradication
work. In most instances the law re-
quires that before such work is un-
dertaken the county should vote for
it in a special election. Even where
no election is actually required, the
moral effect of the expression of the
peoples will is greatly to be desired.
Systematic eradication work means
the dipping of all cattle in the coun-
ty every Ia days in a standard ar
senical solution. If this regulation is
rigidly enforced, one season should
see the elimination of the ticks and
the freeing of the county from quar-
antine. Every dipping, however,
should be supervised by regularly
appointed inspectors and the arseni-
cal solution should be tested and
made of standard strength each
time that the vat is used. Further
more, care should be taken to &C.
count for each COW in the territory
in which the vat is located. A few
neglected animals will afford ref.
uge for the tick and, in time, undo
all that has been accomplished by
the dipping of the others.
The regulations necessarily involve
some inconvenience to cattle owners
AS has already been said, therefore.
before active work is undertaken it
is essential that public sentiment be
brought to point where the incon-
venience is cheerfully put up with.
In general, one or two years prelim-
mary work is sufficient for this pur-
pose. The free use of demonstration
vats will do much toward shortening
the period and increasing enthusiasm
for the active work that is to follow.

DEMONSTRATION WORK
In Tick Eradication by U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.


partment of Agriculture.
Washington, D C, January IL
As q result of ten years experience
in tick eradication. the Federal Of
ficials in charge of the campaign
are convinced that the hearty CO.
operation of the people themselves
is absolutely essential to success.
The Department of Agriculture's
representatives in the field, there
fore, have been warned of the dan
ger of beginning systematic work in
any county before public opinion is
ready to lend vigorous support to
the enterprise. 1t frequently hap
pens that a few of the more pro-
gressive farmers are earnest advo-
Gates of tick eradication, while the
rest of the community may be either
Indifferent or actually hostile. In a
number of instances in the past
when tick eradication has been be-
gun under these circumstances it
has been found necessary, after two
or three years, for the Federal Gov
ernment to withdraw it's men be-
cause the results of their work were,
to great extent, nullified by popu-
lar indifference. To make success
of eradication, all cattle in the coun-
ty must: be dipped regularly. In
practice, this is only possible when
the great majority of the people are
so stronglyEin favor of the work
that they will insist upon the en-
forcement of the necessary regula-
tions.
Recent intructions sent out from
Washington to the men in charge in
the infested regions directed them
to procure a list of voters in any
county in which there were mani
festations of local interest in tick
eradication. Circular letters and
pamphlets explaining the evil of the
tick and the possibility of its elimi-
nation are then to be sent to this list.
The next step is to arrange for
practical demonstrations of dipping.
Since the the Federal department
has no funds at its disposal for the
purpose, the construction of demon
stration vats must be undertaken
either blythe local authorities or by
one or more.public-spirited and pro-
gressive stock owners. The cost of
building a vat is comparatively
small, and it has been found that
these practical demonstrations are
by far the most effective method of
convincing farmers that the tick can
be eradicated without any injury to
the live stock. As soon as the vats
are built, number of demonstra-
tions should be held in order to give
all the people of the county an op-
portunity to see for themselves that
dipping does no injury to cattle.
There is a widespread belief among
the less informed stock owners in
the tick.infested regions that the
arsenic in the dipping watts poisons
cattle and dries up mich COWS. This
erroneous notion may be easily dis
PEELED if arrangements are made for
holding the dipped cattle on exhi-
bition for a few days.
After a series of such demonstra-
tions, meetings of farmers are held
and the benefits of tick eradication
explained. Ordinarily, these meet
ings lead to the organization of
county live stock associations, which
have been found very influential

TWO CHRISTMAS TREES ON cHRIsTMAs EVE
Big Municipal Celebration Planned For
 New London Boys and Girls.

New London will have two munich pal Christu4as, trees this year. rO One
 will be at Williams Memorial park,
 where municipal Christmas tree cele- brations have been held for several years; the second tree will be at Gari- baldi park on the corner of Shaw and Bank streets. Viggo B. Shaw manager of the Connecticut Power Co.,, which has in past years contributed the. electricity necessary. to light the
 municipal tree on Christmas eve and throughout Christmas week., has promised to light both trees during the same period.
 Public exercises will be held at both trees. At the Williams Memorial park a choral program and ceremony of lighting the tree will commence at G.15a Christmas eye. and at ( o'clock
 on the same evening a similar cele-
 bration will be- held at sGariba1di park The tree services are usaia1y held at 5 o'clock. but since Christmas eve twill faHSorf a ' Sunday this Year the hour has been changed in order mot to- in- terfere with vesper services at vari- ous churches.

also busy about the property erecting I shed with some of the lumber that had been delivered and other lumber delivered by the plaintiff company had been used in lining out the founda tions.
 On one occasion he talked with Grove, expressing the dissatisfaction of the firm over the finding If a heavy mortgage on the property and Grove he said agreed to see what. could be done toward obtaining a prior lien for his benefit. Attorney Brooks brought out the fact that all the lumber ex- .cept about 400 or 500 feet use din lin ing out the buildings and the con struction of the shed was reclaimed by the Thames River Lumber Go. and sold to other purchasers.
 Witness was not in a position. to present the books or slips, showing the amount of lumber delivered to the accused or it's value. These he had not brought from the office. not con- sidering it necessary, he said.
 Town Clerk Turner read the rec ords of the transfer of the property for S1 and other considerations. There was nothing in the records to show the nature of the other considerations or their value. but s1O in revenue stamps; the witness said, would indi- cate a s10,000 transaction.
 Records of a warranty deed were also read showing that the tempor- airy. building loan given to. Grove amounted to $19,20o, which, accord ing to records, was to be paid off in various irlstallments. The records also show that six houses were proposed. each to >e two stories. in height with 15 rooms, and their construction was to cost $3,200. These recc.ds were dated September 1.
 Lieut. Theodore Downing of the state police was called to the stand just before the court ordered an ad- tournament.

SAMUEL A. GROVE TRIED IN FALSE PRETENsE CASE Is Charged With Obtaining Lumber
 and Nails to Value of S6oo.s

! When the case of Samuel A: Grove, charged with obtaining lumber and nails to the. value of r$60a under false pretenses, was resumed in police court in New London Tuesday morning, Judge Colt overruled the demurrer en- tered by Attorney Charles Brooks of New Haven, representing the accused.
 Patrick T. Quinn. general superin- tendent of the Thames River Lumber Co. for whom Grove is alleged to have obtained lumber to the value of $570, occupied the witness stand during the greater part of the forenoon session and he was followed by Town Clerk John c. Turner. An adjournment of of one hour was taken 1.15 and the hearing was resumed Tuesday after noon. ... 1 ]; Quinn testified that he was first in troduced to Grove about Aug. i, by man named Mulinsky. The. latter made the statement at the time, he said~ that Grove proposed to take an option on some property and build tween the witness and Grove followed at intervals in the six weeks. s
 On cross examination Quinn admit ted that an agreement was drawn up for the sale of a quantity of lumber to Grove, as the owner of a tract of land in Conn ecticut avenue in New Lon- done The agreement was later re- SlSSu aI thC SuSSSSlIOII ol CION6-' OTOVO told Quinn that he was going to build five houses, and the agreement pre- sented as exhibit "A by Attorney Brooks and identified ;by Quinn, was to the effect that the first ESyment on the lumber sold by the plaintiff com- pany should be; $500. which should change hands when each house was plastered. The agreement added that final payment would follow when the houses were completed.
 It was brought out. in the course of the cross examinations that Quinn at the request of an official Of the lumber company, went to the office of the town clerk to look up the trans fer of the property. and that he found mortgage. of $2s. s.000 hanging over the. transaction. He then went to an attorneys office. with the admitted in- tention of ascertaining what proce- dure would be necessary to obtain a prior lien on the. mortgage. Despite his finding. the. firm continued to de- liver lumber to Grove on his Connec- ticnt. avenue property after. that date.
 He visited the, Connecticut avenue property several times, he said, and on different. occasions met Grove there. Activities were going forward toward the erection $ of houses; he said. Two cellars were. excaxated and masons were employed in build lx the Foundation. Carpenters were
