"Mr. Andrews was one of the
first men to commence work on
the eradication of the tick in his
state, He labored for years and
worked with the legislature to lend
them assistance He started this
work in the dark ages when many
southern men looked on the riddine
of the tick as an idiots idea, but
for 10 years Lawrence county has
been rid of the tick and the untir-
ing efforts of Mr.. Andrews are
greatly responsible for the wonders
worked in this line in that part of
the state.
Mr.. Andrews states that today
they have a $4,000 appropriation
with which to fight the tick in Ar
kansas. They tax each head of
cattle Sc and in that manner they
are working along lines that will
certainly mean the death of the
cattlemen's pest, the fever tick. No
other planter or cattle dealer in the
south today has won for himself
wider reputation in this work than
Mr. Andrews. He has been COM
ing to St. Louis since 1892 with his
cattle, and has shipped to the same
firm all these years

Baker Will Be Asked
To Further Modify
\ Recent Coal Order

Fargo. N. D., Dec. >8.-State Fuel
Administrator Baker will be asked to
modify further. his coal order which
now limits the delivery Of anthracite
coal for household use to one.half a
ton at a time. by farmers in different
parts of the state, it was announced
today. (
when the half-ton order a is-
sued to relieve the coal shortage and
affect equal distribution, of coal
throughout the state. it included all
grades Of coal. Vigorous protests,
however, by coal dealers and consum-
ers brought about the modification of
the order SO that now, only anthra-
cite is limited to[ half ton deliveries.
Farmers who burn nothing but
hard coal point out that a half tor
does not last long and as it often
takes a long. drive to town to obtain
q supply, the order is very unjust.
One farmer, who said he had driven
is miles, yesterday, for p supply Of
coal, protested vigorously when In
formed that under, the order he could
not receive more than half a ton. 3
Coal deliveries, according to reports
to the fuel administrator, are rapidly
becoming better despite the extremely
cold weather and a modification Of
the hard coal limit soon Is expected.
