Ticks Are Taking Toll

Some Florida farmers are hard
to convince even when the evil
dence is before them. ID. H..
Watson, scientific assistant IN
beef cattle Investigations, with
headquarters at the University OF
Florida experiment station, re-
ports this instance.
He was called to ascertain the
trouble with herd of beef cattle
in central Florida. The cattle
were thin and refused to fatten,
also, they were dying on the range
during the cold weather. On the
same range were cattle from an
other herd, in good flesh and unat-
fected by the cold. The latter
had been regularly dipped. Yet
the owner of the inferior cattle
was not ready to admit that the
expense of dipping was money
well spent.

The Village Poet

When, ever, on Saturday did anybody
see
So many puzzled, idle folk as there are
like to be
Foregathering from everywhere, when
all their work is through,
To walk today on Chestnut street to see
what news is new?
I've strolled abroad, in other years, upon
this self-same street,
Through winds of spring, an summers
heat, an wintry snow an sleet,
An marked the many moods an whims
that moved our village folk
When trouble thrilled the brooding air or
life was but joke,
When sable plumes shook in the breeze
or when some gay parade
Of marching hosts, from curb to curb,
one stream Of color made;
But what we look upon today is nothing
quite like that
The town is full of citizens who don't
know where they're at!
If Doctor Garfield should appear upon
snowy nag
An ride along, distributing black mug
gets from bag,
Or if among the eager crowds with lavish
hands he tossed
A golden quid pro quo for all the wages
to be lost
The people scarce would think it strange
because this wretched war
Has brought about a lot of things that
never were before.
An watching for the next move OF our
Fuel Autocrat,
The town is full of citizens who don't
know where they're at.
Of course, there's little likelihood Of any
thing so droll
(Although, you know, prancing steedh
said to "caracoleO,
But why should people look for that Or
show the least dismay
At any sort of hardship that might come
along today?
For, dang it! folks, we've been at war for
close upon year,
An anything that happens shouldn't pe
considered queer.
Oh, we're at war | say, at war!-an ye'
in spite of that
The town is full of citizens who don't
know where they're at.

The Capture of the Demon

The Capture of the Demon
During all this uproar and excitement
nobody thought to look for the fine Italian
hand of Norman Jefferics. He had been
barred from the news columns some time be-
iore because the editors had grown tired of
his putting things across but he still
haunted the offices This thing was so big
and so apparently spontaneous that nobody
connected rim with It.
one night, when the excitement was at its
height, a certain managing editor who had
had more reason than his fellows "a remem-
ber Jefferiess skill in putting prcss-agent
stories across, saw him sitting in that papers
local room. lie called him into his private
Office and said
Look here! This thing has gone far
enough. You've put it over, and though
you've cost us thousands of dollars I'm hold
ing no grudgc against you But don't you
think it's time you captured that Jersey
Devil%'
Jefferies started to play innocent, but only
for 4 moment. "Oh, very Well" he said
how would tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock
do?' SO that was settled During the two
weeks Of that devils rampage JeGferies had
been making his plans against the arrival of

helpers dressed as "Rubes" and piled them
into n furniture van. Another van carried
the devil, in Il cage. The procession moved
north to Hunting Park, and there the devil
was chained to tree and Hartzels farm
ers were grouped around in circle in the
act of capturing him. Fhilppi the pho
tographer, who had been brought along, took
several excellent pictures.
That was on a Friday, and Sundays papers
blazed with flaring ads. When the museums
doors opened on Monday great crowd
surged in. The devil was in a cage which
was completely boarded up on three sides
but provided with a draw curtain in front
The curtain was drawn, a boy poked it
with his stick, the devil uttered a veil and
leaped at the bars, but was brought up with
a jerk by his clanliing chain The crowd
Swayed back against the wall and the curtain
was quickly drawn to again. This attraction
was good for two weeks of crowded houses
Then the devil, shorn of his wings and wbis-
kers, was returned to Professor Edwards. of
Buffalo,
But to this day you will find folks who
will tell you they actually saw" the real

BERLIN APPEALS TO JULY /

INSTEAD Of answering Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Lloyd George directly and accord.
ing TO schedule, the German Chancellor
has apparently decided to rest his case FOR
the present on "a lengthy official state.
ment TO the Bolsheyist Government. That
he thus is attempting to make the scope
of his peace offensive worldwide is shown
by the care with which Berlin gave out
the statement verbatim and that he hopes
10 lure President Wilson into further
conversations is indicated by his refer.
ence 20 the legal prccedents established by
the American Declaration of independence
and "a United States Supreme Court deci-
sion Of 1905
Germany is trying to prove that accord.
ing to American law she should have an
equal share with Russia i'm determining
the ownership Of the western provinces Of
Russia. The argument, boiled down seems
to follow this line Of reasoning: The mo-
mcnt a community procaims its independ-
ence it becomes free. Just as the inde-
pendence Of the United States dates from
July 4, 1II6, and not from 1882, when Eng
land recognized the young Republic, so the
independence Of Poland, Lithuana, Cour-
territory now controlled by the Bolshe-
viiD, dates from March, 1917. Bolshevist
Russia, then. has no moro the sole right
to dictate the method of erecting a govern
mcnt in Poland than Pennsylvania would
have had to dictate the form Of a new
government in Massachusetts in l777. Ii
the Bolshevist Republic continues To as
sumo paramount responsibility for Poland
it will thereby have to confess to usurping
the prerOgative of the dcthruncd CAR
That would be as bad as if some one had
set up government in one American
State between l77G ana 1882, taken over
the sovereignty Of George Ill in a sort of
imperial presidency and dictated to all the
other States.
Having brought the amazing argument
to this point, the German statement de.
clarcs 1T is not obvious without further
explanation, on what the Russian Republic
intends TO base it's rights and duties as re-
CARDS that conquered population"
Mr.. Wilson answered that question in
advance when he said: "They Uhe Rus
sian people, have refused to compound their
ideals or desert others that they themselves
may be safe
Appealing to the historic law and princi-
pies of the eighteenth century. the German
statement speaks Of the frontiers Of the
former Russian empire as Established by
force and crime, especially against the
Polish people" 1t was the Prussian Fred
erick the Greats crime against the Poles.
But it would be folly to argue against
these up-to-date lawyers. Law not law
yers, will untangle these riddles.
Yet it is supremey important turn in
the tide Of events that Germany feels the
need IF appealing to international law at
all. She begins to see the need for "a de.
cent respect to the opinions of mankind"
that sentence which, the President has
said is the one i'm all American history Of
which he is most proud.
