HITS TICK WORK l 10 ENTER ARff
p cetz. Who P0pulnrized Ex'
 ,+;or of Live Stock Pests in .',.,,- cauutx. Goes to Another Part I s1,ele sam's sersice-NoLetup

p,Ik county is about to lose the man
 has popularized the eStermina
 If ticks. Dr. Harry R. Getz, fed
 inspector in charge of tick erae-
 ..;on has received an army appoint
 and will soon leave for new
 .,s of endeavor. The work of de- s.roviue the Hvs stock pests started
 nr Cetz will be continued, howev-
 urnl Polk county is free from the auarantine,
 m little more than 3 years time nr cetz. bv tact and wiling ability
 uork for good cause, has sncreed-
 in making a success of tick eradi- <stion. He will leave Polk county with be satisfacti0n of knowing that the ork he started is nearly finished and shat what was once opposed by local ssidents. is now given the most hear b support.
 nr Cetz received an appointment ss second lieutenant in the Army Vet zz-;rsrv Corps. and will leave early .ext week for Camp Creenlea9, Chick smauga. Tenn, to report for duty. j, His successor has not been named, but it is expected an appointment viii be announced within a short time. Un- till the new official comes dipping will fontiuue as usual under the direction ef the district supervisors.
 As 8 farewell message Dr. Getz asked that every farmer and stock man interested in raising the federal ouarantine to continue dipping their < herds until the close of the present season. or until ofhcial notice comes that the work may be stopped for the wear. He especially urges that the regular two-weeks schedule of dipping dates be followed
 Dr. Getz first became acquainted with Polk county residents as inspec- tor in charge of tick eradication in a sterTitory comprising the west part of Montgomery county, the north part of Howard county, all of Polk county and part of eastern Oklahoma.
 In May, 1917, he took active charge of the work in Polk county, making his headquarters in Mena. At that time there were only nine dipping vats in the county. Today there are 76 more, 8 total of S5, under his su- pervision. Many of these yats are a direct result of Dr. Getz's unfailing efforts to show the owners of live stock the value of dipping.
 As a measure for exterminating ticks the dipping has won the approv- al of big majority and today there is strong demand for continuation of the work until the quarantine is raised. Because of a late start in the dipping in some places this year it is probable the tick eradication will have to continue a few months later than planned. The seasons dipping also has shown the advantages of two weeks dipping over the twenty-one- day schedule.

 Of unusual interest was the recent visit to Mena of Miss Kathryn B. Monroe, who came in behalf of the Civilian Relief Work. Miss Monroe gave an address at Red Cross head quarters on "Hone Service Work, g which made 8 deep impression upon those present and showed how neces- sary this work is, and if we expect the soldier to fight for us at the front he must be assured that those he has left at home will be comforted and helped in their hour of need.
 As a result of Miss Monroe's force ful talk at the meeting of the exec utive committee of the Red Cross the Home Service was organized for the Mena chapter, as reported in The Star of Wednesday.

The end is in sight. but the smoke of battle be cIOuds our vision and it may be that the deciding test at arms is still far removed There are those amongst us vou can find them on every hand whose optimism leads them to look for final settlement of the war this year That seems improbable at this uncturo. However. we do look for iho big showdown some time next summer. when America has reached the peak of efficiency At our pres cnt rate of progress it will require all of the time intervening to get in shane to hand the Hum the hiding he SO richly deserves.
