them against discomfort and losses
caused by ear ticks. Herds grazing
on infested ranges should be treated
late in the fall or early In the winter
to prevent winter and spring losses to
poorly nourished range cattle. All
animals In an infested herd should be

When animals are grossly infested
and the ear canals are packed full of
ticks the parasites are easily visible.
but when the i%nfestation is light or
moderate the ticks may be overlooked,
The parasites usually attach them

crawl into the ear canal and follow 1t

secretary of agriculture in his annual
report.
Protection of the forests during the
season of 1913 proved an exceptionally
difficult task, says the secretary. An
unusual strain was imposed on an or
g~anization somewhat depleted in num-
bers and much weakened by the loss of
many of its most experienced men.
Added to this was the difficulty of Sc
curing good men for temporary APP
pointment as guards during the fire
season, and parties of men for fight
ing large fires. An unusually early and
severe dry season caused the outbreak
Of serious fires before the summer
protective organization was fully
ready.
Some embarrassment in meeting the
situation, the report comments, was
caused by the failure of the annual APP
preparation act to pass congress until
after the fire season was virtually
over. Relief was furnished by the
president, who placed $1,000, 600 at the
secretary's disposal as a loan from the
presidents emergency fund. 1t may
be necessary, the secretary says, to
seek from congress again a deficiency
appropriation OF $150,000.

In mixing the ingredients the cotton

GE TRIISY

The premium list of the Escambia county fair
has been completed and in few weeks will be
place din the hands of every family in the coun-
ty. The fair will open November 18th, and those
who head the movement are working to make
it the most successful fair that this section has
ever held.
Last year, at time when the entire world was
upset and labor was at premium, when many
able bodied men had been called to the colors,
and those who were left behind were going from
the rural districts to the city seeking work which
promised greater remuneration, it predicted
that the Escambia county fair would be a COL
ossal failure.
Instead of the Escambia county fair being a
failure notwithstanding lack of interest and CO.
operation, from many quarters, this county car
ried off the second premium, over all counties of
the state, and won more individual premiums
than any other county. And SO close did it come
to carrying off the first honors and so great was
the dissatisfaction among exhibitors and visitors
to the fair that these honors did not go to this
county, that special meeting of protest was
called, and resolutions passed condemning the
committee of award.
Had Pensacola received the cooperation from
the farmers of the county that should have been
received, then the exhibit which was so good
would have been twice as good, and this county
would have received some wonderful advertising
all over the country.
As it was, the county did receive wide publici-
ty, owing to the fact that farmers and business
men fro mevery section of the country were in
Jacksonville at the time, called by great ma
tional convention of farmers.
The time to get ready for the county fair is
right now. 1t is what you plant and how it is
cared for that counts in the last analysis. 1t is
all very well to get enthusiastic at the last min
ute, and to pick out your most choice products
for display at the fair But the way to make
a good fair IS TO WORK FOR 1T FROM THE
BEGINNING OF PLANTING SEASON UNTIL
HARVEST. If this is done, then there is little
question but that Escambia will make wonder
full record.

Recently, on his return from a winter spent
in Florida, Mr. Edmonds, editor of the Manufac-
turers Record, asked if he did not think the
United States Shipping Board had Disseminated
against southern ports in the ALLEGATION of ships.
THE south has always been Disseminated
against" said Mr.. Edmonds, land it has been
so in this case. The south has always been
treated the poor relation, and yet the could
not have been won without the SOUTH"
Mr.. Edmonds contention that the south has
been treated like the poor relation may be true.
But one thing is certain, it is TIME FOR THIS
PORT TO COME UP TO ITS END OF THE
BARGAIN. It cannot be expected that the
United States Shipping Board and Emergency
fleet Corporation are going to promote the in
terests of this port or any other port, unless
they do their part towards this promotion. IF
WE ACT LIKE A POOR RELATION WE MUST
EXPECT TO BE TREATED LIKE. ONE.
The United States Shipping Board is offering
Pensacola the biggest opportunity it has ever
had, in financing the development of the Bruce
Dry Dock company, provided the citizens of PEN
sacola take small percentage of stock.
Let us show our appreciation of this offer,
even if we must make sacrifices to do so, and
let us put across the biggest proposition that
Pensacola has ever had opportunity to grasp.
This is our great chance to make Pensacola one
of the greatest ports in the world. 1t may prove
our last chance unless we avail ourselves of it.

Costa Rican minister of war recently
obtained authority from congress of
that country to declare war upon Mic
aragua- The authorization was said to
be in form which permitted him to
make the declaration at an opportune
moment. AS Costa Rican forces now
are advancing from Santa Rosa, near
the Sfcarag guam border in the north
western corner of Costa Rica IL Is
supposed here the declaration has al
ready been published in Costa Rica.
It is pointed out in this capital that
Nicaragua. Notwithstanding her small

CARDINAL GIBBONS
BOOSTS CAUSE OF
THE BOY SCOUTS

Baltimore, Md, June lin con-
nection with the organization in Bal
timore of the first Catholic church
unit of the Boy Scouts of America,
a letter written by Cardinal Gibbons
to former Secretary of the Treasury
cardinal says:
The young boys of the nation are
its fathers to be. We as a nation are
best prepared when we train them in
the right principles of American pa
triotism. To make them the fit citi-
zens of tomorrow is the sacred obli-
CATION that rests upon us all.
THE Catholic church with untiring
efforts seeks so to train them from
their earliest years. Religion is the
basis of true citizenship. We well
come with our fellow citizens any
agency which, developing this reIig-
ious spirit, will train youth in the
immediate obligations and duties of
citizenship. The boy scouts, particu-
larly in their splendid labors during
the war. have shown how their or
ganizatio1 helps toward such a re-
suit. 1t is an organization that does
not deny. but builds upon the reIig-
ious faith of the boy member: that
exacts of him the faithful observance
of all his religious duties
Such a movement for the promo
ton of right citizenship has our
hearty approval. and we recommend
to the priests and laity of America
in answer to the call of the president,
the formation of Catholic units of
boy scouts.
