THE IMMORTAL EDWARDS,
BY HERBERT KAUFMAN.

BY HERBERT KAUFMAN.
From August 1917. Cosmopolitan.
We are the towards immor tal-the
men who feared dishonor and who
quailed at shame.
Because we respected self more
than life and dreaded degradation
more than death, our names are fam
ing torches.
We saw the whip the Persian
brought for Greece. and therefore
did not cringe to see bis million
spears. And every Alpine pass has
heard our trembling prayers beseech
kind God for strength to perish if we
might not hod our mountains for
| freedom.
Had we not paled beside our wo-
med as the Turk set forth to sweep
the West, we would have failed to
beat him back. No wound tina weap-
on brings could make a torture COM
parable to their debasement.
And at Waterloo, because retreat
demanded all our pride, we chuse the
path to glory and blessed the bayo-
nets in our breaking hearts.
From Concord and from the Alamo
we call to you, from Valley Forge
and from Balaklava, from the wastes
and the wilds and the frontier block
house, and from everv grave that
marks a martyrdom, we cry to your
dutv-carry on!
The price of liberty is dear, but lib
erty is more precious than the dear
est price.
Fear God and conscience and hu-
initiation and injustice and defeat;
serve your fears with valor, and de-
fend the high faiths of Humanity.

The following is the information
referred to in last issue, furnished
by DIR. Pumpkins, U. S. lnspecto
IN charge of the cattle Tick Eradica
ton Campaign in Greene county
viz:
There we're dipped in Greene
Co--during the month of June
2448 herds or 27169 head of cat
tie. OF that number HOG head
showed slightly ticky, showing
the fact that we are rapidly e.
Indicating the tick from our
midst. We had 80 watts in opera
ton. Owing to the fact that we
have been dipping less than 80
days, this is splendid showing
of what can be done toward rid
ding the county of ticks provided
every one dips regularly and ev-
cry head that they own every IA

the Texas fever tick will be a nui-
sance of the past in Greene Co.
Beginning Aug. 1st. we will
