overflowed its banks. causing the ice
10 jam. The Polar Bear was lifed out
OF the water by the ice and her keel
was so badly damaged that she sank
Immediately. When the ice cleared
away the vessel was raised and her
keel was repaired and packed with
what material could be found, making
possible the start OF the voyage for
Nome.
All the records and specimens are in
good condition and will be shipped
from Nome on the steamship Victoria.
A large number Of specimens We're coll

to be sent to an orthcpedic hospital. It
is estimated that about four pairs OF

means 100000 pairs of shoes.
In underc,othes, wool and cotton

ENGLISH CHILDREN
THANK AMERICANS
Send Thousands Of Letters Elk
pressing Gratitude For
Saving of Foods.

New York-sJenny Jones'. OF Sioux
;Citq, Ia, want to make you acquainted
with Alice Brown, Of Shefhe!d, Eng
land; here is a letter from her thank
ing you for saving food so that she
need not go hungry. ] invite you to
write to her.
This, in effect. though perhaps not by
the use Of those words, is the plan
adopted by United States Food Admin
istrator Herbert G. Hoover, to convey
the thanks Of English school children
to the children of America for helping
him TO conserve food for the benefit of
English girls and boys.
Mr.. Hoover has brought back from
London many thousands OF letters from
the British boys and girls and his plan
is to send at least one letter To every
pubic school in the. United States.
The letters were delivered to Mr..
Hoover during his recent visit to Lon
don. Two motor cars were required to
carry them. Some OF them were writ
ten by individuals while others We're
signed by the children OF Whole
school; so that the total represented the
thanks Of thousands Of British chill
dren. 9
The editor OF the Teachers World
presented to Mr.. Hoover deputation
OF English school children and told the
American food administrator. that the
letters were heartfelt expressions OF
gratitude to the American nation which
had denied itself to provide England
with food. (
Il will very proudly distribute these
| letters among our American schools, .
replied Mr.. Hoover II am sure tina.
they will form one OF the most effective
links possible between the people OF the
two nations. Each one of them will be
priced. and I will see to 1t that not one
OF the thousands of schools scattered
throushout our country is left without
at least one of them. They form a
heap OF real treasure. and should have
a very far reaching result.

Cattle Tick Situation in Lonoke County

Since there are numerous questions being asked regarding the cattle tick situation, I will endeayor to lay the condition at present before you as 1 see it. A few questions and answers will be the best way to explain the circumstances.
 Why was not the work com pleted in 1917 as we hoped and expected to do: The cattle were not all dipped every two weeks as the law required is the full ex planatiOn Why2 Some people willfully left some behind On dip- ping days because they were able to do so and not be discov- cred, others brought all of ttseirs but left some strays behind because they were too much trou ble to drive, others could not possibly get of theirs especial ly. in the big woods south and east of Lonoke, thus the dipping season passed and in spite of ev- cry effort put forth by the men employed in the work last year. some cattle got by without being dipped.
 What was the result when cat tie carry tick over through the winter as was the case in Lonoke county? One tick shed from COW, n March with any thing like favorable environments, will produce between 60.000 and TO- 900 ticks by Septem Der, of the same year, thus starting with a few scattered ticks in March, September sees countless thou sands scattered oyer a large area. because of the movements of cattle in search of water and food. The result of the first l matching of ticks in Lonoke coun ty, resulted in the death of be- tween 80 and 100 cattle. yalua- tion of about an average of S50.O0 per head. This death toll is not d new one but was more fully real. izee than ever before.
 What is the attitude of the general public as compared with a year ago: In reply to such a question, 1 would say that it is much changed as in communities those who were open objectors las. year have expressed them 1 selves as being strong advocators and are giving every possible as sistance to eradicating the most costly hindrance the cattle own CTS of the south have eyer known When will the dipping of cattle cease? When the last tick has been submerged within a dip ping vat and is thus rendered harmless without another to take it's place. This time can be great ly hastened by every one taking enough interest, not only to dip his own cattle but by seeing that hls neighbor dips all of his too. This is work for the benefit of the public and it is the public's business to see that it is done.
 An old saying, "A hint to the wise is sufficient, might be well added here.
 l have received orders that some time within the next sixty days that rigid enforcement of the local quarantine law will be put into effect. This will greatly inconvenience cattle owners so I think the better method will be to have every thing free of the ticks before this more severe method is employed.

REDMOND'S DEATH
SERIOUS BLOW TO
IRISH CONVENTION
Prospect OF Agreement Cred
tied 10 Him - Devlin or
Dillon Probable Successor.

LONDON, March THE death OF
John Redmond at the mt when
the Convention which is to settle the
future OF Ireland Is having It's most
momentous sessions Is considered In
political circles to be almost a dis
aster. During the weeks which the
Irish convention has been busy trying
TO find a solution 20 the Irish prob
lem, to which he gave his life. Mr.
Redmond exercised a great moderat-
ing influence and II, as dispatches
from Dublin say, there Is again a
prospect OF agreement, he must be
given a great messur OF credit for
this state of affairs.
In fact. since he took over the lead
ershlp OF the Irish Nstionalists on
the retirement of Parnell. Mr.. Red
mond has been among those Irishmen
who fought for a settlement OF the
Home Rule question by parliamentary
means.
Mr.. Redmond went - work harder
than over when tho Irish Convention
vas created. and, with the exception
Of the last few meetings. he was a
regular attendant at the sessions and
took a leading part in the dslibera-
lions despite the great pain he was
suffering.
Other events in ireland. such as the
excesses OF tho sim F'einers, did not
lessen his worries. and. except for
Premier Lloyd George. there was no
mar in England who had q more diff
cult position to hold.
The Irish Convention adjourned for
two hours when II heard of Mr.. Red
mond's death. Later 1t passed a
resolution Of yorrow
The choice OF a successor 20 Mr..
Rermond as leader OF the Irish
Nationalist Is believed 10 be between
John Dillon and Joseph Devlin. al
though the former might possibly de
cline the nomination.
The House Of Commons paid tribute
To the memory OF Mr.. Redmond whon
Premier Lloyd George and various
party leaders expressed their sense of
tho loss the House had sustained.
Former Premier Asquith, Sir Edward
Carson, the Ulster leader, were among
the other speakers.
