TICK SLAUGHTER
 WILL 60 AHEAD
No Cessation of Eradication Work Because of Financial Shortage Difficulty Due to Polk County Do
 in Good Work Too We'll.

Bankers, business men and farmers have rallied to the support of tick eradication work in Polk county, and the work of slaughtering the bovine parasites will go ahead until the present dipping season is ended.
 Because the Polk county folks did a great deal better than expected, a financial crisis thrtatened the work of tick eradication, and there was danger of losing results of work al- ready accomplished.
 Action taken today removes any possible danger and Polk county cat tlemen will soon enjoy the benefits of free territory, even tho the district will still be in quarantine in name.
 The trouble came about in estimat- ing the probable expense of conduct ing the years work against the ticks. It was estimated at the beginning of the year there would be 70 dipping vats to be cared for. As evidence that Polk county folks know good thing when they see it, the cattlemen and farmers greatly exceeded the probable number of vats by con structing S5. The work of caring for these additional Is vats exhausted the appropriations made by state and county authorities, and for while it looked as tho tick eradication might be stopped prematurely.
 To avoid this loss a group of wide awake citizens, comprising bankers, business men and farmers, arranged to supply sufficient funds until the quorum court could make the neces- sary legal financial arrangements in October. Among those who have agreed to stand by eradication work are W. W. Townsend, J. T. Magrud- CT. W. I. Green, A. E. Wear, D. M Watkins. w E. Watkins, R. R. St John. c. W Petty, J. G. Jackson and I. H. R. Getz.
 Polk county is estimated to have vats that alone are worth more than s12.000. and there is said to be every : assurance that at tits next meeting the quorum court will see to it that the good work of the vats will be con- tinued until the quarantine is raised

SO much tonnage put to fuller use.
But, when all this has been said.
there remains the final question:
what new tonnage is being built?
Before the war the capacity of
British yards was about 1000, 900
tons annually, while your yards could
do 100000 tons. In 1917 we turned
out only half our normal tonnage
just over a million-while you dou-
bled yours, your output being just
under million. Between US we did
100000 tons gross, or, roughly.
one-third Of the mine and submarine
losses during that complete year.
With due respect to the critics it
was not I. small achievement for
your nation thus to double it's ship
construction. And this year you
ought to double it again. l should be
greatly surprised if the United
States does net turn out over 2,0OO,-

got prohibition in our state l somehow
teel strong desirA for it. Can Won
explain why We have the greatest long
ing after things that are prohibited?
Because they are prohibited. This

our first parents would have hardly
Deen induced into the temptation of
eating OF the fruit Of the tree Of life
if it had not been forbidden them so

nomenon. besides our innate instinct
OF curiosity, is our spirit of liberty.
which rebels against being subject to
any constraint Hence it comes that
even men. and especially women. whose
natural disposition prompts them unto
Firtuous acts and withdraws them from
Vlce, when by subicction and con-
straint brought under ond kept down.
will turn aside from this noble djsposi,
ton, TO shake off that bond of seryi-
tude wherein they feel themselves so
tyrannicaily ensiaved. They will then
revenge themselves for their abase-
ment BY pursuing the very course thev
had been forb idden to take, and. in
their blind instinct, to assert their un
recognized right, commit all kinds OF
raVages.
+. S. 1.-The mail to our soldiers in
France is rot detained in this country.
The delay in the delivery is chiefly
due to the regulations of the War De

upon its arrival in France it is for
