DIPPING CATTLE IS
 BIG WAR MEASURE
HERBERT c. HOOVER REQUESTS FARMERS TO COMPLY READ
 fLY WITH THIS LAW.
Food Administrator of United States Regards Precaution Directly in Line With Food Conservation.

Cattle dipping according to Her bert (. Hoover. food administrator for the United States, is an important war measure In a letter to Hamp Williams. federal food administrator for Arkansas, on this subject, Mir. Hoover urges the farmers of Arkan- sas to comply with this law The ut most cooperation between the state food administration officials and Dr. R. M Cow and the Arkansas Profit able Farming bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce is urged.
 Scrub cattle covered with ticks are not a good advertisement for the farmer who, as war measure, has promised to raise plenty of food and feed declares Mir. Hoover. The eco- nomical production of cattle is nec- essary. These must be produced at profit The raising of tick infested cattle is an unprofitable project. It requires considerable more feed for tickey cattle than those free from this menace. The tick sucks fhe blood from the animal.
 The farmer who says he has not the time to dip his cattle, should not he accepted as an excuse, because dipping requires only few hours work and need be done only once every two weeks.
 Seventeen counties were made nearly tick free last year. Every official interested in the enforce ment of the dipping law will make special effort to rid Arkansas cattle throughout the entire state of this evil this year There are twelve counties which have not yet started systematic dipping In such counties infected and exposed cattle are run ming on the ranges. Such stock must be dipped systematically and regu- larly.

upon the shoulders of the only white
man ever adopted into the tribe Thus
Captain A. b. Welch of Mandan, adopted
son of the old chieftain, becomes, accord

chief of the tribe.
The new Sioux chief whose Indian
name is Mato. Watakpe, is with the Unit

aide of Major General Hunter Liggett.
is serving with the same division.
Although there were formerly four
chieftains OF the Sioux, only one line
remains, and the old chiefs sons all be-
ing dead, Captain WEIGH by reason Of
being an adopted son, takes precedence
over a grandson in the direct line
The name Mato- Wstakpe is the Sioux
war name of the old chief and means
Charging Bear When he was adopted
Captain WEIGH chose this name as the
one by which he would be known among
the Indians.
Although the chief OF to-day has not
the same powers of the chief of years
gone by, the title still gives him the re-
spect of the Indians and they recognize
him as their leader. A chief still repre-
sents his tribe in all the disputes or con
ferences with the government,
Captain Welch for many years has
been student of the Indian customs
and formed many friendships with mem
bers of the Sioux tribe. In 1918, because
of mutual regard that had grown up
between the captain and the chief, John
Grass. the latter asked the captain if he
would be willing to be adopted as his
son. The captain consented and con
forming to the ancient ceremonies of the
Sioux, was taken into the tribe by a |
service held at Fort Yates, the old trad
ing center The service began at dawn |
and lasted until shutdown.
The body of the old chief has been laid |
in the cemetery at Fort Yates and the

If the allies succeed in drawing in any
considerable number of German reserve:
into the curve of the Marine front they
may thereby pave the way for an even
more important allied movement on a
part of the line further to the north
Such plan may not be in the thought
of General Foch, but it seems that such
a turn of affairs might be possible. The
attack by the French and the Americans
from the Marine river northwards to-
ward scissors is sufficiently strong TO
cause some worry to the Germans. Any
concentration of German troops at some
other point might have to be broken up
to a certain extent in order TO supply
the need for reinforcements on the Marine
battlefield. That would leave the Brit.
ish. with French and American forces TO
help them, in a position to exert a pow.

II seems rather late in the war for the
United States to go about the work OF
protecting our coast lines effectively, to
the extent of building 10 stations for
balloons and seaplanes. That work
ought to have been started year and
two months ago when the die was cast
and state of war with Germany was
declared. Nevertheless, the work should
be done at once if necessary TO protect
any of our shores from invasion 1t
would have been done long ago had we
been nation with predictions for war
rather than for peace. The fact that our
shore defenses are not fully equipped is
proof enough that the United States is in
this war for other nations instead of for
ourselves.
