the awful suffering I have been
through since that time. The ter

hardly able to stand it, and ] hardly
ever got good nights sleep. I
had the very best treatment that
money could get, but I just gradu-
ally grew worse all the time and
was finally told that an operation
was the only thing left to do. I
had rheumatism in my legs, too,
and sometimes my joints would be
so badly swollen that ! could hard
ly walk. Then, my legs would
often go to sleep and there wouldn't
be particle of feeling left in them.
! also suffered from bad headaches,
and would have dizzy spells so bad
that the air just seemed to be thick
with black spots. I finally got so
weak and rundown that I was not

ments. Taking these figures as a
basis, the 100000 horses On the
farms of the state the first of the
year had an approximate value oil
$93,5ol 900. Add to this the $o,000,,
900 that came from the 100000 sold
to the allied governments and you
have $1O2,5o1 900, the aggregate Of
one item of wealth possessed within
the state.
In gathering the figures on the
number of horses, no account is TAX
en- of those owned in cities and
towns. 1t is contended that these
animals would add another $4,000, or
so and that their worth. like those
of the country, would be in the
neighborhood of 500 each, or $4,500,-
600, making a total Of $l07,09l ,00C
that the horses would fetch if all
sold.

Rhode Island, the smallest of the
states, has the least number OF
horses, there being but 1900 within
its borders, while New York, that
leads in population, has only 5l4,800
as against 755, 500 in Oklahoma, one
of the newest of the states.

1t is estimated that during the
last year of the war with Germany
Nebraska contributed 100000 horses,
of which most were sent overseas.
Almost from the beginning of the
war the allied governments had rep
resentatives at Omaha, Fremont,
Grand Island, Hastings, Norfolk,
North Platte and half dozen other
points within the state, picking up
cavalry mounts, artillery horses and
those for general trucking purposes.
During the last year of the war
England, France and Italy pushed
up the prices and it is said that the
animals went at an average OF $50
head, or, in round numbers, $o,0OO,-
600. These animals. all went from
the farms of the state and conse-
quently the money received from
the sales rolled back into the pockets
of the farmers.
The presumption would be that to
take 100000 horses off the Nebraska
farms during one year the supply
would be reduced to the extent that
general agricultural pursuits would
be hampered, if not seriously Grip
pied. While it might look this way
to the uninitiated, such is not the
case, for right now, or, rather, on
the first of the year, of the 21,000.-
800 horses in the United States
100000 were on Nebraska farms
and owned by Nebraska farmers.
This figuring on horses is not a
mere guess. The figures are gath
cred from reports of assessors and
county clerks of the counties of the
state, sought after and compiled by

areas now cleaned up and cause
the death of cattle that have
lost their immunity to tick fever.
This is stated by DR.. E. l. Smith,
Federal Inspector in charge of
tick eradication in Louisiana.
When ticks are cleaned out of
an area the cattle in that COM
munity become healthier, fatter
and more valuable. But after a
few years absence of the tick,
the cattle become easy prey for
fever that the pest carries.
When they are bitten they get
the fever, in same way that
many. human beings contract
malaria from mosquito bites. In
fact, the cattle become as SUBJ
ject to tick fever as the cattle
brought into ticky regions from
other sections of the country.
Live stock raising is just be-
ginning in Louisiana, says DR..
Smith, and it would be a veri-
table crime if the ticks are al
lowed to reestablish themselves
and destsoy the fine herds that
have been started. The way to
prevent a new invasion by the
tick is to exterminate the pest
now. Once completely eradicat-
ed, the Federal quarantine can
be relied on to keep the parasite
from returning.

Cold Comfort for the Germans.

In all of the delay that has &C.
cured over the consideration of
the peace terms submitted to the
German representatives, nothing
has passed to them that gives
the victorious nations more salts
faction than the final or cover
ing note" sent them by M. Glenn
enceau. president of the peace
conference with the so-called
revised treaty" delivered to
them as an ultimatum on Tues
Gay, June II.
In his letter addressed to
Count Won Brockdorf- Rantzau,
president of the German delega-
ton. among-a number of other
scathing things. M. Clemenceau
has this to say:
1.-The allied and associated powers
have given the most earnest considera-
ton to the observations of the German
delegates on the draft of the treaty of
peace. The reply protests against the
peace on the ground that it conflicts
with the terms upon which the armis-
tice of Nov. IL, 1918, was signed, and
that it is peace of violence. and not a
peace of justice. The protest of the
German delegates shows that they fail
to understand the position in which
Germany stands today. They seem to
think that Germany has only to make
sacrifices in order to obtain peace as
if this were but the end of some mere
struggle for territory and power. The
allied and associated powers, therefore,
feel it necessary to begin their reply
by clear statement of the judgment
of the world, which has been formed
by practically the whole of civilized
mankind.
''In the view of the allied and asso-
ciated powers, the war which began on
August /, 1914, was the greatest crime
against humanity and freedom of peo-
pie any nation calling itself civilized
has ever conscientiously committed.

A Successful Nonstop Ocean Flight.
On the afternoon of June ID
Capt. Jack Alcock, a Britisher as
pilot, and Lieut.. Arthur w.
Brown, an American, as naviga-
tor, left st. Johns, New Found
land, in a Vickers-Vimy flying
machine, with the intention of
flying to the Irish coast without
stopping. They made the trip
of a little over 1900 miles in 16
hours and IL minutes.
. They had a rough time of it at
the start, getting in a dense
New Foundland fog for a while,
and when at last they found
their bearings they were flying
upside down and within a hun
dred feet of the surface of the
ocean, and barely had time to
right their machine and prevent
a catastrophe.
In this dilema we wonder if it
not practical for bird-men to
carry a glass tube or phial of
water, and the attraction of
gravitation would cause the
water to indicate whether the
machine was right side up or
not.
