While this subject seems to have
the right-of-way in noighborhonf
gossip, [ fail so far to see any pui:.
lie expression on the question.
It's reported that it reached
rather a warm discussion among
the police members at their last
meeting. 1t seems the parish is
up against a hard problem, the
expenses for this work getting
much the better OF the profits.
1t is very evident hat the dip
ping costs entirely too much !; the
vat men could possibly get from
$50 to 81. 80 per day at other jobs,
while the parish is paying them
from So 90 to $3.50 per day.
While it is conceded that there
is a special interest coloring in the
law, | have no desire to ridicule,
even if it is deserving. The law
makers and those who enforce
them, as a rule, (but not as a
whole) are men Of character and
ability, but no nearer infallible
than the rest of us. But when we
are silent on matters of public in
terest. it either denotes consent
or disintcrest in public affairs.
Of course, the ticks are pests,
but most everybody in this vicini-
ty was reasonably cooperative in
their removal. But when they
began to count the cost-the dam
age done, in the way Of killed and
wounded stock, by reason of poor
~ constructed watts, and the care
less, slipshod way Of mixing the,
dope-some times too weak to kill
the ticks. and again so strong that
it killed both COW and ticks.
Being brought face to face with
these conditions, without compens-
alton for damages done. is by no
means satisfactory with the peo.'le.
It is considered a great injustice
so much so that a goodly number
of persons have sold their cattle
than take their chances on
them damaged or killed.
The death rate was much greater
in 1918 than ever known in any
one year before. Of course. this
means a setback IN the live stock

Rural Population Ordered to Leave
Home Says Report.

Washington, Oct. 20-The rcconcen-
trado system made famous by Gen.
Weylcr in Cuba, and afterwards used
by Case Lopez and the Hucrtistas
against Zapatistas in Morelos, has
been inaugurated by the Mexican Gov
elnment against the Villistas of the
State of Chihuahua, advices received
here today through official chancls
said. Gen. Diequez, military COM
mander of the Carranzista forces in
Chihuahua, the dispatches said has
been ordered to direct the abandon
ment of all small towns and villages
in Chihuahua and to have the rural
inhabitants concentrate in the large
cities of Chihuahua, Jimincz and Par
raj.
Protests, the advices said have been
| sent to Mexico City and delegation
of citizens has gone to present the
protests of the people of the rural
districts of Chihuahua before Pres-
dent Carranza. 1t is argued in these
protests that the enforcement Of the
| order will drive hundreds of small
farmers and business men into the
ranks Of the Villistas, as they will be
unable to make living for themselves
and their families if they are COM
PEELED to abandon their homes and
move into the cities, where suffering

PREHISTORIC AGES
HAND Down COTTON

Commissioner Harris was much
impressed with an exhifit Of cotton
more than 5000 years old displayed
at the Grunewarld hotel in New Or
leans durinc the Worlds Cotton con-
ference last week. He says that the
modern waves show very little if any
Improvement over these ancient cx-
hibits. The following account of the
displa yis given in the New Orleans
Picayune:
Cotton 500 years old, bits of cot
ton cloth, spindles and yarn dating
before the Christian era and all of
American origin, are part of the
exhibition Of the American Museum
of National History sent to the World
Cotton conference at the Grunewald,
in charge of NJ. C. D. Crawford. The
oldest specimens come from prehis-
toric Peru and the scientists can fur
nish no more accurate date than to
say that the arts of spinning, weav-
ing and cotton cultivation were high
ly developed several thousand years
before the Spanish conquest.
"When Spanish Pizarro led his SOL
diers against the hordes of the Inca
he passed through ruined cities in
which the architecture was more
magnificent and in which the evil
dences of material culture was great
er than he had left in Europe. 1t is
from the graves of this people that
the modern scientists have rescued
these priceless fabrics. The dyes have
defied thousands of years, the colors
are as varied and as rich as anything
produced and every weave we know
today was known to these old mas
ters.
"This exhibition contains as we'll
spindle whorls from Central America
and Mexico, bits of modern fabric
from the Southwest and Guatemala,
showing the high degree of skill
among these people in the textile
arts. There are two very interesting
