It is estimated that she answered more than 800 ques- tions during her performance, which is a record. One of the pleasing features of the occasion were the souvenirs.

GIT IS A DISGRACE'

Commissioner George B. Ward, Judge J. T. Stokely and Judge B. M. Allen when called upon for an expression re- garding the boards action, made 1t
 plain that they could not conceive of such an act on the part of the county officials.
 "It's a disgrace" said Mir. Ward "You can say anything you like for me if you will make it strong, for I think it is a step that harks back to the dark ages" stated Judge Allen. 'It will certainly be adjusted. for this work is the most important thing that we have ever done in the county with reference to cattle raising. I certainly think the board is making serious mistake.
 Commissioner Wards views: T have made it rule not to critt- else the board of revenue. but in my opinion it's action in stopping the tick eradication business is disgrace, rot only damaging it's own county but hurting the whole state of Alabama" !" said Commissioner Ward. inconvenienced it is the business of every patriotic citizen to join in these great movements that are known to be for the general good. If individuals are not willing. it is the duty of public officials to make them get in line. T hope the board of revenue will get up nerve enough to go counter to the wishes of some of the country voters and do it's duty to the whole public"

BACK TO DARK AGES

"Why, this harks back to the dark ages,' said Judge j. T. Stokely. 'Tt gives Jefferson county a black eye. for the people of this county have author ized the board to go aheadNwith this work, by vote. and by big majority too. And to think of their spending as much money as they have and then halting, or permanently stopping the work. is absolutely unreasonable. I cannot see the point at all.
 "Of course there may be some pro- tests but the board has the mandate of the people at its elbow, and should obey it. and especially since they have spent something like $20.000. and we are about to get out of the woods. It seems to me that we could induce the
 board to see their error and get them to rescind their action, if 1t is possible to do so by logical argument. and ] think with board of reasonable and fair-minded men such as we have. this can easily be done I do not think they have considered fully what they have done"
 ALLEN IS SURPRISED
 'T was very much surprised at the action of the board of revenue in talk ing steps that would stop the dipping of cattle in Jefferson county" said Judge B. M. Allen q think that this Is the most important thing that has ever been done in the state with re- gards to the raising of cattle.
 Of course do not know of any req son for it other than the objections of some people. hope that the matter can be adjusted so that the dipping can continue. think that it would be ex- tremely unfortunate for the county and for the state. if this action of the board of revenue should be made permanent I think the board has made a great mistake. for all cattle owners, raisers of cattle and those engaged in the cat tie business in any way approve of ttlis work.
 "The election results. when tick eradication was put to aS vote in Jef- ferson county should guide the board of revenue. should think"

other Alabama counties released from quarantine as well as to the industry of other states to which they might be shipped. It will, therefore, become neces- sary that proper measures be instituted to protect the cattle industry in such areas against becoming infested with ticks from Jefferson county. To this end there is but one road; unless the board of revenue reconsiders it's action and arranges to take proper care Of the situation it will be necessary that quaran- tine recommendations be submitted.
 When tick eradication worK started in Jefferson county last year there were approximately 5000 herds of cattle infested with cattle ticks. During the past month only s7 herds were infested in the entire county and they were made free of ticks by dipping.
 Beyond any question the work of erad- icating cattle ticks so nearly finished in Jefferson county should be completed.
