sent also to the governors of the other states and be transmitted to each county celebrating it's entry into the free cattle territory of the nation. What Tick Eradication Means to
 Freed Territories.
 Before the ticks were dipped out these parasites annually killed many cattle with tick fever, steadily sucked out of cattle vast quantities of blood which should have gone to make meat or milk; wasted, therefore, much of the grain and forage fed to cattle {; and, finally, prevented the introduc- tion of non-immune breeding stock for the improvement of local beef and dairy herds. The presence of the tick barred shipments of local cattle from the open competition of the free pens at the packing centerS and forced their owners to sell them at diSad- vantage from quarantine pens for iE- mediate slaughter only
 Tick Now Dipped Out of 37o,312
 Square Miles.
 The South since 1906 has succeeded in releasing from quarantine 379,312 square miles or over 51 per cent of the originally quarantined area. Mis- sissippi is the fifth state to be de clared entirely free, the states of Cali fornia, Kentucky, Missouri and Ten nessee previously having been re leased. Special credit, however, is due to Mississippi because much of the area freed was heavily infested with tick. There remain in the entire South 349, 9,25O square miles yet infested and to be cleaned and released from fed eral quarantine. The example of Mis- sissippi, however, it is believed, will boring states to widen the wedge to the Gulf until the tick is eradicated from the entire South.
 To Make New Record in 1918.
 That this years record will be eN- ceeded in 1918 and that the tick will be banished from the nation by 19-I are strong probabilities. The states of Arkansas and Louisiana, following the example of Mississippi have passed statewide laws making the eradication of the tick compulsory in every infested county. The legislature of the state of Texas has recognized the importance of tick eradication, al though it's laws do not make eradica- tion compulsory in it's various coun- ties for some time to come. Indica- lions from all the tick-infPStpd states are that in many sections the people have grown thoroughly tired of the toll the tick is taking and patriotical- ly are building dipping vats and mak- ing preparations to free their cattle during the coming year.

Cold. Dry Air HeaIthfuI

Cold. dry air is generally considered healthful and stimulating by medical authorities. Metabolic processes are active, and if the body is properly pro- tected against excessive heat loss, sen sations of weIl-heing are dominant. There is little exact physiologic evil dence bearing on this condition. Phy- sicians have shown that respiratory tn- lection of rabbits with bncillus bovI- septicus (snulIles) is favored by chill ing the animals after they have been accustomed to heat.

ANGLE OF FLOWING PROBLEM
By Timing Work to Habits of Prevail ing Insects Most of Them Can
 Be Starved Out.

There is an angle of the blowing problem worthy of consideration and which bears on the ''when." By timing both fall and spring blowing to the habits of the prevailing insects of our fields we can destroy or starve out most of them, while thoughtlessly mak- ing our blowing seasons to suit our con venience may actually encourage the multiplication of the insects and cost us dearly in our crop harvest.

WILSON APPEALS ID LABOR FUR
 WAR SUPPORT
Tells Delegates He Would Like to See All Critics EX-

ASKS FOR A UNITED FRONT
Says pscifsts Cannot Bring About Peace, but lie can-While We Are Fighting for Freedom We Must
 See That Labor Is Free.

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov l3.-President Wilson delivered a message to the workingmen of the United States in an address before the annual conven- ton of the American Federation of Labor
 His entrance to the convention hall was the signal for a tremendous out burst of cheers from the G,00O people, assembled to hear him.
 Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, introducing Mir Wilson, re- ferred to him as this man of destiny, spokesman for freedom, interpreter of the aims and spirit of our time, lead CT of thoughts and action among the nations of the earth"
 This is a great privilege and q great nonor," said the president T gladly accepted the invitation because 1t seems to me that it was a welcome opportunity to speak to you some of the thoughts which have been gather ing in my mind for the past few months. I would be glad if you re- gard me, not as the president, but as a man seeking counsel.
 Causes of War.
 T think that in order to realize of just what moment this counsel is, it would be well to remind ourselves just how and why this war came about.
 "The war was started by Germany Her authors deny it, but I am will- ing to await the verdict of history Why did Germany start the war? Re mehber the position of Germany in tie world The whole world stood in Admiration of her intelligence and ma terial achievements.
 AS a university man I have been surro6nded by men trained in Ger many Nowhere else could they get such training Her industries were perhaps the most competent In the world. She had access to all mar kets in the world, but men in those markets feared Germany because of her almost irresistible competition.
 Her industries were perhaps the best in the world. Her label, Made in Germany was a guarantee of good workmanship. She had a place in the sun. Why was she not satisfied?
 What Did She Want?
 "What more did she want? There was nothing in world of peace she cid not have yet she was not satis- fled.
 "There is no important Industry in Germany upon which government has not laid its hand to direct and, if necessary, to control it.
 They were the same kinds of com binatfons that we have tried to pre- vent by law The conditions of com petition were thus controlled by the German government.
 "A political control which would enable to control all labor and indus try of the world was behind it all.
 Look at the uap of Europe-Ger- many, in thrusting again her peace proposals upon Us, talks of Belgium, northern France, Alsaee-Lorraine. Those are deeply interesting, but they are not talking about the heart of the matter
