TICK ERADICATION

Tick eradication viii mean the pro

greatest needs of the Government In
the prosecution OF the war.
II has been stated on good author
ity that many of the army horses at
the various camps cannot be used for
want of the requisite number of sad
dies, brides. etc. One of the chief
factors in this leather shortage Is the
cattle tick, because of the damage IL
does TO hides. rendering a great part
of them unfit for use in the manufac
ture of leather goods of various kinds
This Is caused by the irritation and
unevenness In the hide produced by

Southern farmers have as much at
stake in this war as any other Ameri-
cans.-lt Is their war.
We are fighting for the freedom
of the seas"-the farmers right to sell
cotton, corn, wheat. rice, etc, abroad
The determination of the United
States to send supplies and food to the
Allies sent the price of cotton to 30
cents and above, and put the price Of
food crop up to the highest figure In
fifty years.
If the Allies win this war American
farmers always can find a ready mar.
ket in Europe for their products. Thou
sands of ships are being built to send
the crops abroad after the war But
we must win to do it. Germany plans
TO invade this country Just as Ii over.
ran Belgium. Evidence in the hands
OF government officials proves this
statement. Southern farmers are en-.
joying the benefit of their crops now,
but IL Germany invades this country
their wives and daughters will be
forced to raise crops for Germany
just as Belgian and French women
and children are forced In the fields

will be devastated just as Belgian
farms have been--their land then will
be used to feed Germany and their
crops will bring them nothing
Farmers Depended Upon
The government always has depends
ed upon the Southern farmer to do
his duty, whether to raise more food
| fight or finance. They have been ex-
empted from fighting thus far to en-.

| they have received the highest prices
for their products. Now the govern.
ment wants the farmer to help finance

to help finance the war as ii Is to raise

Dock" Leak, as he was lov-
ingly called, will be sadly missed
throughout the county. He was
a friend of the people, and re-
joiced in helping scores OF per-
sons who can bear witness to
his benevolence. He filled his
business duties with marked sue
cess, and hisname was a synonym
for honesty and square dealing.
He was loyal and true, clean, up
right, modest, and a gentleman
through and through; he has left
an imprint for good on Rich

the distant years. And now
after life's fitful fever, he sleeps

Presenting striking picture OF
life among the rich and pleasure-mad
in ancient Alexandria, staged with a
magnifcence that has rarely been
equalied In picture production, and
featuring star whose fame has
spread to every part of the world.
Most of the scenes are laid amidst
the magnihcence of Alexandria. and
one shudders when he pauses to con-
slider what the sets for this produc-
tion must have cost And the scenes
in the desert and the huts OF the
Christians are equally convincing in
their striking contrast OF utter SIM
pllclty, As a matter OF fact. this pic
ture might well be called picture
OF contrasts, for two more different
figures that That's, the idol OF Alex
andria, the queen OF love and pas
sion, and Paphnutius. who gives up
wealth and the life of pleasure to
join the Christians. and to convert
That's from her paths of wickedness
so that those who worship her In the
orgies OF the earthly may follow her
10 the simple faith OF Christianity.
There aer many sensational ele-
ments to this picture that are bound
TO have their effect on the box Office
results. The magnificence OF the
sets. and the gowns worn by Miss
Garden are little short OF wonderful.
One scene reveils the rich OF Alexan-
drla In their feasts that so many his
torians have described. At another
time Miss Garden appears in the des-
ert In a diaphanous gar6 that reveals
every line OF her form. And yet
these scenes are so centered about
the main story that there is no trace
Of the vulgar to them.
Miss Garden proves herself the
same wonderful actress on the screen
that made her fame In the opera. She
expresses the varying motions con-
vincingly. and maks the character oil
Thias truly at one time a queen OF
worldly love. and at another the re-
pentant daughter who is seeking hap
plness in Christianity.
From her work in this picture one
feels sure that 1t is not necessary for
to follow in other operas for the
screen, for she Is today as great
picture success as any OF the others
who have been known in the silent
drama for years. 1t would be unfair
to pass the work OF Miss Garden oy
without mentioning the wonderful
dance which she executes in the open
ing scenes.

The Turning Point

MFR. VARDAMAN-Mr. President, Amer
lVl ica is passing through a crucial test.
Just whether we are going to be able
to save the Republic in all of it's pristine
vigor and democratic efficiency is problemat-
ical. For myself, I confess that am
little apprehensive for the future. The one
ray of light, however, which breaks through
the clouds overhanging the horizon of the
nations future is the saving grace of the
honesty, courage and patriotism Of the plain
man and woman at home. Somebody has
said: "The veil which covers the face of
futurity is woven by the hand of mercy"
That is true-wisely and providentially true.
1t is the uncertainty of the future which
makes it possible for US to endure the hard
ships Of life to the end. But we cannot be
too careful and circumspect in this hour of
desperate emergency-eternal vigilance is
the price Ct liberty. The influences set in

motion to-day may mark the present as the
turning point in the life of the government.
have sometimes thought that it would be a
wise provision if the organic law of this
nation contained clause which would pro-
vide that the life of all laws enacted in time
OF war should be limited to the duration Of
the war.
The world is crazy, daft; blood lust dirns
the intellectual eye, intoxicates the heart
and smothers out the fires of love in the
human soul: Hate is the dominating pas
sion Of the hour, and greed for gain multi
pliess our difficulties. Everything is being
done to cause us to question the wisdom Of
tried policies and principles which have
made America great. There are some states
men IN this country who seem to be inspired
with feeling Of contempt for everything
ancient, however meritorious it NAV have
proven itself to be. 1t is time to stop, look
and listen. There are snares and pitfalls
on the highway just ahead.
