As the average cost of the materials and labor in a dipping vat exceeds $1O0, this means that more than $5,OOO has already been spent in the county for vat construction. Ac- cording to those who favor dipping, this sum will not be wasted, as dip ping is said to be of great benefit to cattle, but the county cannot be lifted from the cattle quarantine unless dipping is done systematically throughout the county under govern ment supervision.
 "The county will lose much more this year alone, to say nothing of the years to come, than the amount asked from the county, if the appro- priation is withheld, Dr. Mcdonald said. Assuming that you ship only 50 carloads of cattle year, which is a low estimate, and assuming that the difference in value of car of quar- antine and free cattle is only $100, which is not much over half the aver age, the loss on one years shipments would be fully $5,000, or more than double the amount asked for to free the county from ticks in one year and raise the quarantine against it."
 It is thought possible that the jus tices of the peace composing the quorum court may take the initiative and majority of them authorize the county court to make the appropria- tion, but this is hardly regarded as probable. Another possible method would be the raising of the $2,OOO by private subscriptions among those in terested in freeing the county from the ticks.
 The entire farming population of the county has been greatly agitated over the tick eradication law and numerous mass meetings on both sides of the question have been held The latest complication will doubtless serve to intensity the sentiment on the matter.

ships are being armed to defend themselves; the next move must be to send warships with orders to seek out submarines and clear the Trans atlantic lanes.
 Some of the highest officials of the government hold the president has power to declare a state of war ex- ists and to proceed with aggressive protective steps pending the assemb- ling of congress.
 Yesterdays developments brough, the government face to face with the problem of formulating definite policy in case the United States ac tually enters the war. This possi. bility was mentioned by the president in his inaugural address.
 All of the conditions outlined by the president announcing the diplo- matic break with Germany as leading to a state of armed neutrality now have been fulfilled. The "overt act, ' described by him then, actually has come; if in fact, it had not been com mitted when the president went be- fore congress. Since then he has es- tablished state of armed neutrality.
 International lawyers an dconstitu- tional experts said last night that President Wilson has full authority to interpret this as an act of war and announce that this country con- siders an actual state of war exists by reason of Germany's fragrant as- sault on American shipping.
 Such action would be subject to the approval of congress.

MEASLES EPIDEMIC
 SLOW IN SUBSlD|NC

Although number of pupils of the Conway public school had recovered from attacks of measles and were able to resume their work today, numerous new cases are reported and apparently the epidemic is subsiding very slowly. It is estimated that there have been fully 15O cases in the city during the past few weeks, over 100 of which occurred among the pupils of the public school. So far there have been no cases in any of the other schools or colleges. The disease is of comparatively mild type and there have been no deaths or very serious illness from it. Near ly all those infected are small chil- dren. In one or two of the lower grades of the school work has been seriously affected, not only by cases of measles among the pupils but also by the withdrawal of pupils who it was feared would contract the dis ease.

ANOTHER CHANCE
 IN NORMAL BOARD
W. E. LEMON APPOINTED
To Succeed Prof. E. w. TOrreysOn, Who Takes Mir. Lemons Place on
 Education Board.

Another change in the personnel of the board of trustees of the Ark ansas State Normal School Board was made late Saturday, when Gov ernor Brough appointed former May or w. E. Lemon of Little Rock to suc- ceed Prof. B. w. Torreyson, member and secretary of the board since the establishment of the school. Prof. Torreyson was only recently reap pointed for term of four years, to which MT. Lemon will succeed.
 The appointment was brought about by an exchange of places be- tween Prof. Torreyson and MT. Len on. The latter resigned as a member of the state board of education and Prof. Torreyson was appointed to succeed him upon resigning from the Normal Board.
 A statement given out at the gov ernor's office says that recent edu- cational legislation renders impera- tive member of the board who can serve as field agent, and a great deal of MT. Torreyson's official work calls for travelling among the high schools of the state, while Mir. Lemons busi- ness ability will render him of great service on the Normal Board, which will supervise the construction of a $100,000 administration building for the Normal at Conway.
 The board will meet March 27 to select an architect for the building, and proposals are now being solic- ited. The appropriation consisted of $107,O0O, of which $7,0OO will be used for equipment.
 Anotber meeting of the board has been called for April 16 to select the Normal faculty for the ensuing year.
