WEBB : KENYON ACT
Supreme Court Holds VAL
id, Law Barring Liquor
From Dry States.

The Webb-Kenyon law, design
ed to prevent the shipment of
liquor from a wet to a dry terri
tory, was Monday declared valid
by the Supreme Court of the
United States by vote of Z to 2.
This is another blow at red liquor
another victory tor the "drys. ="
The purpose of the act, as
pointed out by the Chief Justice
in announcing the decision of the
court, was to cut out by the roots
the practice of permitting viola
ton of state liquor laws. Con-
gress, the court said, had COM
plete power to prevent the paral-
yzing of state authorities.
The far-reaching consequence
of this decision is quite apparent.
No longer can a wet State, under
cover of the commerce clause of
the federal constitution, ship
liquor into a dry state in violation
of the laws of the latter. The
law even goes further. 1t says
that no liquor shall be shipped
from a wet to a dry territory.
This means that no state, other
than Kentucky can ship liquor
into Knox county in violation OF
the laws of this county. 1t means
that if Kentucky goes dry the
imbibers of this state shall be
unable to ship liquor from a for
eign territory without subjecting
themselves to the penalty of the
act.

Eastern Kentucky to Get
National Aid for Roads.

Last week Senator B. G. Lewis
and Judge Thomas G. Hammons
attended the Good Roads Con-
vention at Frankfort, and in a
speech Senator Lewis asked that
the people of Eastern Kentucky
be given all the National road aid
possible. All present from the
Northern portion of the State
agreed and suggested that Sena-
tor Lewis request be granted.
They said they could get along
without the National aid and that
it be given to this end of the
State. 1t is said this was agreed
to and we will receive practically
the whole amount given the State
under the act of Congress. This
is certainly a great help in this
time of need and Senator Lewis
should be given a vote of thanks
for his effort and success in this
matter.

Y.M.C.A. 20, E.K.S.N 20

The local basket ball team of
this place went to Richmond on
the 9Th and took the Eastern
Kentucky State Normal basket
ball team for a two round battle
on their home court. The con-
test was very interesting from
the start, but when the smoke
cleared away after the second
half it was discovered that the
Barbourville Y. M. C. A. had won
the game by a score of 20 to %.
The Normal quintet started
with a rush and led through the
first half by score of II to 10.
In the second half the Barbour
vile boys, with a ~big lead to
overcome, started in real earnest
to win the game and by exceed
ingly fast work overcame the
lead Of their opponents and took
the lead and maintained it thru
out the remainder of the contest.
Simms, at center, Lambdin and
Jarvis, forwards, starred for the
Barbourville team, while Ander-
son, center, and Hembree, for
ward, starred for the Normal.

THE STATE CAN BE MADE EN-
TIRELY TlCK-FREE IN ONE
SEASON.
EVERY ONE MUST COOP ERATE
Louisiana Is the Only State Using
the Twenty.one Day Dipping
Periods.

Some of the questions most fire.
quently asked on tick eradication are
answered below by DR.. w. H. Dalrynl-
pie, of the Department of Veterinary
Science, Louisiana State University:
Why is it necessary to dip cattle
every IA days during the season to
get rid of the ticks?
Answer During the warm season
of the year, the average time requlF-
ed by the tick to develop, from the
small larval, or seed tick, after at
taching to cattle, until the large fe-
male tick natures and drops to the
ground to lay her egg, is about %
days. But while % days may be the
average, many ticks mature earlier
than that time. Consequently it has
been found that the 21-day dipping
periods do not catch the earlier-ma-
turing ticks, which drop off and keep
on making more ticks, thereby delay
ing the final results. On the other
hand, by dipping cattle every IA days,
all of the ticks that become attached
to them in the intervals are killed,
because none of them mature and
drop off before IA days.
How has this information been OBJ.
tanned?
Answer. It has been observed by
those engaged in the work of tick
eradication that, towards the end Of
the season, under the 21-day method,
there are always a number of cattle,
or herds, still remaining tick-infested.
While with 14-day dipping there may
be none, or only very few, with ticks
on them.
Then the dipping periods are based
upon the time required for the ticks
to develop on the cattle and fall off?
Answer. Precisely so. The adop-
ton of the 14-day periods is to de-
stroy all of the ticks that have be-
come attached to the cattle In the in
tervals between clippings, without any
of them having dropped off,
How long, relatively, will 1t take to
clean parish, or section, of ticks un.
der the 14,day and 2t-day dipping pc
RODS?
Answer. With the full co-opera.
ton of everyone interested, the ticks
may be cleaned up in one season un-
der the 14-day periods; while under
the 21-day periods it may take two
or three or more seasons, as has been
the case in number of parishes.
Do ticks have any effect on milk
production?
Answer. Federal experts have test.
cd this question, and they report that
cattle which have been freed of ticks
have given an increased milk pro-
duction of from Is to AZ per cent, de-
pending on how grossly they had pre-
viously been infested. If we should
strike an average Of 25 per cent, it
would mean that the dairyman who
continued to feed ticks on his cows
was throwing away an equivalent of
one bucketful of milk out of every
four which his cows would produce
under tick-freedom.
What effect do the ticks have, II
any, on the development of beef
cattle?
Answer. They prevent develop
ment, because great deal of the
blood which the feed makes, and that
should be used to nourish the animal,
Is appropriated by the ticks, and the
benefit of the feed is, therefore, lost
to the animal.
Are all the other states dipping
their cattle every IA days?

Iron Mountain To
 Auction Block Today

St. Louis, Feb. 21.-The Missouri Pacific and the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern railroads will be sold at auction today under the decree of the United States district court at St. Louis in the foreclosure suits brought by bond holders of the two roads.
 The Missouri Pacific and it's trib- utary lines will be sold at II o'clock this morning at the old Missouri Pacific station and freight office, Seventh and Poplar streets. The sale will be conducted by Spe- cial Master Joseph s. Dobyns.
 The Iron Mountain road will be sold at o'clock in the afternoon at the Iron Mountain freight de- pot. Main and Gratiot streets This sale will. be conducted by Lee W. Hagerman, special master.
 The price at which both of the properties are valued is about $40,- 100000. The sale will include all rolling stock and other property. The mileage of the combined roads totals about 1900 miles. Two men have qualified as prospective pur- chasers by making the necessary deposits. The men are R. H. Mel son and J. W. Holmes of New York.
 It is believed they are represent ing the bondholders who filed the foreclosure suits and obtained the order of sale in the United States district court. The roads have been in the hands of a receiver since August, 1915. So far as is known the Gould family will not be represented at the sales.
