r. W. Storrs of L;ue Stock Board
Discusses Harm of Cattle Tick

as the Texas fever, the southern few
er, splenetic fever, and so on, all be-
ing the same malady masquarading
under different names. However. as
long as the cattle are continuously
infected by the insects they are inn
mune from this fever, this immunity
having been built up through long
years Of infliction.
Now, then, you clear q cow OF ticks,
then allow her to become reinfested'
and this fever frequently proves IA
tai. That fact is the stumbling
block of the farmer. Many Of them
are afraid to eradicate the tick for
fear of some dire future result.
However, the good sense of eradica-
ton is made perfectly clear by Mr.:
Storrs, who says that the difference
in the appearance Of q cow following
dipping is evident In two weeks;
that verify they are not the Same
sort of animal, either In weight. ap-
pearance or milk giving qualities at
ter they have been freed from the
blood sucking parasites. And four
teen day dipping periods, which the
compulsory dipping law provides FOR,
will serve within the period specified
to kill the ticks off entirely. 30 that
there is no chance for the animal to
become reinfested.
This fact has been cono2usively
proven by experience in other States;
"When ticks shall have been got
rid off, said Mr.. Storrs, land It Will
very shortly accomplished-the work
will never languish now that such
beneficial results have been obtained
West Florida will become the great
est cattle producing section Of the
entire United States. Every fact of
local conditions tends to show that.
We have the climate, the range. and
soil of ample richness for food pro-
duction.
"And I want to say that the back
bone Of agriculture everywhere Is
cattle, so that the benefits Of this
work will be two fold. I want to
call your attention to the fact that
there are in Florida million head Of
cattle worth $3.50 a head. In Iowa
there are four million head, worth
$4,000. Now, then, consider this
the average rural wealth in Florida
is $361.0O per capita, and in iowa
s., $500.
Concerning local conditions, when
Escambia county eradicates the tick,
it will be in a position to keep clean
of the pests for all time. For con-
slider, you will have a tick free coun-
try, plus a river to the fest, the gull
to the south, a river to the east and
a territory to the north protected by
both Federal and state quarantine
laws. For Geormia has a statewide
compulsory dipping law"
Mr.. Storrs SAID that next Tuesday
will be tick eradication day at the
Moline fair, when demonstrations
will be given of the process and
value Of the work.

Eff that insect commonly called
the cattle tick had not bitten COW,
the Panama Canal would never have
been built" said r. W. Storrs, of
DeFuniak Surings, and member OF
the State Live Stock Sanitary Board,
in an interview on tick eradication
yesterday.
And he went on to explain: "Be-
cause, it should be understood that it
was the cattle tick that first gave the
evidence of scientists that germ dis
ease is transmittable through the
bite of an insect. And, following
out the argument, it IS clear that If
this germ theory of disease had not
been developed, and yellow fever
eradicated from Panama, the isthnus
would still be uncut"
Mr.. Storrs is in Pensacola to get
behind a live campaign to drive tho
tick out of Escambia county. tho
prime move of which will be to call
an election in the county to enforce
compulsory dipping.
He discussed the call Of this cleo
ton, what the results if successful
will mean to the COUNTY,, saying that,
thin a year after the cam
instituted the county will be prepared
to be declared freed from the Federal
quarantine.
His plan is to go Immediately
about the securing of the necessary
signatures-one-fourth of the resi-
dents of the county-to call the cleo
ton. And what with thirty day pc
Rod of advertising necessary, and
the work of educating the people to
the full measure of the importance of
it. he said it will probably be the
first of January before the election
] is actually held.
Every effort will be made during
the campaign to get the facts of the
Importance of eradication before the
country people. Speeches will not
only be made throughout the COM
munlty, but moving picture fllustra-
ton and stereopticon slides will be
resorted to to give the people actual
visual evidence of the results OBJ
tanned.
By way Of sounding out sentiment
here in Pensacola on the issue, Dr. E.
M. SNighbert and Mr.. Storrs met
the county Thursday night, and said
the sentiment of the meeting was
unanimous in favor of the move. and
that he believes the people of Es-
Gambia county will stand squarely
behind the Sanitary Board in it's
work
Escanibia county, Mr.. Storrs ex-
planned Us peculiarly well equipped
for compulsory dipping campaign,
because IF the fact that with the pos
sible EXCEPTION of three watts, one of
which is already under construction,
the county has it's full quota already
in operation.
By way of explaining how it hap
pens that there is still opposition to
this measure, despite the poular ap-
proval of it which has been evidenced
all over the South, the expert told
some very interesting details of the
results of the tick Bite.
It appears that the tick conveys a
fever to the cattle known variouslv

WIVES OF MANY MEN
MUST STAYAT HOME

Base Of American FIoti11a, In Brit
,sS Waters, Nov. 1O-An order to
American naval officers and men not
States has just been issued by the
commanding officer Of the United
States destroyer flotillas operating in
European waters. It reads:
1.-THE force commander 70 Of the
opinion that it would be very mad
visable for any officers or men Of the
naval force in European waters to
cause their wives to take passage for
Europe
Two American naval officers sue
eeeded in getting their wives to join
them before the order was issued.
Both were married In April. The
next month their husbands received
orders to sail for Europe. One wife
came from Philadelphia and the other
from Boston.
Those responsible for the prohibi-
tion justify it on the grounds Of eff
cheney. One American naval officer
of high rank said:
1--WE must get the maximum Of ef-
ficiency out of our officers and men.
They must be unfettered to 20 wher-
ever they are sent at any time. !. We
cannot have their wives following
them around from one base to an
other. It may look hard to the thou
sands Of young wives Of our naval
men; but they must remember that
this II war and that they are better
of back home, where they can be Of
more use to the nation"

SEEK RECENERSHIP
FOR INSURANCE CO.
Stockholders of Washington City
Life File Petition.

Through its president. William S.
Jordan, and Attorney Charles B.
Howry. the Washington City Life
Insurance Company filed suit yester-
day in the District Supreme Court
against Roderick X. Shaw and about
$50 stockholders of the company to
show cause why the concern should
not be dissolved and . receiver ap-
pointed to wind up its affairs.
The court is requested to designate
"some one connected with the office
of the superintendent of insurance OF
the District to take charge of the
assets of the company and distribute
them, and by an order of the court
use a large portion of the cash assets
in the purchase OF liberty bonds"
There is no insolvency" says the
attorney for the company, because
the assets are in hand practically and
essentially ready for distribution. The
cash assets exceed the par value of
the stock at this time by several thou
sand dollars" The only threatened
matter, states the attorney, so far as
the management believes, seems to be
the effort of a few stockholders who
claim to be creditors because of the
frauds of persons not connected with
the company. but who, nevertheless,
regardless of the claim made by some,
are stockholders at sl2 per share.
In conclusion the company states.
the blow given the company by the
attempt to hold it liable for the rep
resentations of individuals scarcely
known to any OF the company's Of
ficers or trustees IS sufficient in itself
to cause an abandonment RI its char
ter"
