This part of the road is known as Hollands Pike and is in fine condition. MT.

TICK ERADICATION
 STIRS NEW INTEREST
Stockmen Agree That It Marks New Era in
 Industry.

One of the immediate effects of the state wide tick eradication law was seen in the increased in- terest and enthusiasm of the states largest stockmen who are in Little Rock attending the annual convention of the Arkan- sas Live Stock Growers Associa- tion. Without exception, the stock men believe that the assurance of statewide tick eradication marks the beginning of a new era Tn the industry in Arkansas.
 J. D. Eldrige of Grays', Wood ruff county, whois vice president for Arkansas, of the Southern Cattlemen's Association, told of an experience which showed what the cattle tick is costing Ark ansas farmers.
 Woodruff county has elimi- mated the cattle tick and is out of the quarantine distrlct," he said. But a short time ago shipped three carload of cattle to East St. Louis. Through mistake of a railroad employee my cattle were sent to the quarantine pens in the stock yards with tick-infested cattle. It was the railroads mis- take and finally as compromise they paid me $500. I accepted this rather than to go into litigation, but the $500 didn't make up the difference between what I receiv- ed and what I would have receiv- ed had my cattle been correctly billed. The difference easily a. mounted to $150. a car load. That borught it home forcibly to me just what the cattle tick is cost ing Arkansas Farmers.
 The vigorous effort that the Arkansas Profitauhe Farming Bureau made to secure the pass age of the statewide tick eradi-
Judsonia weekly advance., 1917-02-14

eaton bill and the S5000O appro- priatlon bill was the greatest work that the bureau has done believe. It's work has attracted wide spread and favorable comment a. mong the farmers of the state. In my opinion, 1t is useless to talk about diversified farming without live stock and it will be possible to raise live stock profit ably"
 MT. Eldrige also hopes to see Arkansas make an organized eff ort to secure the 1918 meeting of the Southern Cattlemen's Asso- citation. The 1917 convention will be held in Atlanta, in April 4, 5, and 6. He says that Little Rock has a fine chance to secure the next convention if an organized effort is made.
 The passage of the statewide tick eradication law is one of the greatest things tn; t could have happened to the state, said J. E. Little, of Conway. oneof Ark : ansas' largest stockmen. He owns 5000 acres in Faulkner county, has 300 head of high grade Here lords and Shorthorns and is pre- pairing to add to his herd.
 1 have been in the live stock business for three years and the first year l lost more than $1, ,OOO worth of cattle from the tick, ]" said MT. Lit e. Then l built dipping vats and since that time I have lost no cattle that were dipped. Dipping will absolutely eradicate the tick, at least that IS my experience. But there al- ways is the danger that my cat tie might become infested from the tick-infested cattle of neigh tbors and it will take a great deal of worry off my mind when Faulkner county is tick free. We had planned to go ahead with tick eradication work in that county this year, anyhow, but, of course, this statswide tick e. radicationlaw will make the work much easier.

and inspect their years work,
which they did on March LIST.
This school not only gives its
students academical education but
the manual training for both boys

ing a living. This is the most inn
portant and valuable work ever at
tempted for this school. The boys
have made their own work bench
and tool chests and are buying tools.
The domestic science girls are be-
ing well trained in the art of cook
ing, serving and canning. The sew

the grades were good, and all the
ladies were well repaid for the visit.

WE THANK you

That good paper, the Mt. Sterling
Advocate, brought out sixteen
page booster edition this week,
which portrayed Mt. Sterling in a
very creditable style. Mt. Sterling
is full Of real business men, and
the fact that they have always
been so liberal toward Powell coun-
ty and painstaking to please us
when we go trading that way, makes
us feel good to see anything profit
able coming to our nearest sister
city.-Clay City Times.
We are sure the merchants that
patronized the edition last week
feel repaid by this one expression
of good will from the adjoining
county. We have received a num-
Der of complimentary notices on

obtained viii prove beneficial.

FLY THE FLAG

The Advocate is pleased to see
that quite a number of local stores
and homes are now decorated with
American flags. 1t is hoped that
many more will be flying to the
breeze before long. With the
United States practically in a state
of war, all good patriots should
show their colors and especially in
these times, when the country har-
bors so many traitors. We Ameri-
cans must show our patriotism in
this time Of national crisis and we
cannot do better than to fly Old
Glory.
