SPRING WHEAT LOOKS GOOD

R. B. Stanfield made trip Tues
day through the wheat districts to
the south and east of Echo, and he
reports that he was agreeably sur
prised with the promising showing
of grain everywhere. While there
are a few spots that are poor, by far
the greater part of the grain is much
better than average. Even in the
spring wheat there is very little that
has been hurt at all yet. Much of
it is heading out nicely and with a
few more days of cool weather the
spring wheat will produce WE'LL

Londonderry de Halsalle, au-

audience at Holburn the other day
that "wife-beating is quite common

speaker, "and one evening heard is

mans cries and the sound of blows.
Presently my host appeared and
asked him the cause of the commo-

"'I have just been giving my wife
her Saturday thrashing, he said. He
added that he administered the pun

whether she deserved it or not.

Reduces Daily Hours

The Public Library is confronted
with the necessity of reducing its
bouTs OF service by reason of insuff1-

years because of low pay in the Ii
brary and higher pay elsewhere the
library has suffered a turnover in its
staf Of 90 per cent In the fiscal year,
1918. and s per cent in the fiscal year
1873 This has brought about such a
condition OF overwork for those who
have remained-doing their own work
and constantly breaking In new people
who remain but very short periods
that the older employees on the library
force have been strained beyond the
breakinE point

America.

Salt Lake City. Utah, Oct 1.-THE
hight in the United States Senate to
prevent the ratification of the pro-
posed league OF nations covenant in
its present form Is a fight to pre-
serve the promise OF American life,
Senator Hiram w. johnson said here
tonight In the final speech OF his
transcontinental debate with Presi-
dent Wilson on the league issue.
The Senator asserted that one Of
the fundamental fallacies in the pro-
posed league was the irreconcilable
conflict between the imperialistic am
billions and policies of the European
and Asfstic nations and the anti
Imperialism Of America.
Their ideals are the antithesis of
our, ideals" said the Senator. They
ever think OF increases in territory.

rialism. to use a generic term. We
have no ideals of that sort We want
none of them To take this country

opposing ideals shall control. means
that you are going to Europeanize
America That is exactly the thing
We wish to prevent.
Tt means, IL We adopt this thing,
that the great ruling powers OF Eu-
rope and Asia shall be the ruling
powers of Europe and Asia for all
time to come; and 1t means worse
than all that: That our treasury and
our power. your blood and my blood
must maintain these empires OF Eu-
rope and Asia for all the years that
are to come to us

Enforcing the Dipping Law.

The District Attorney of Grant
parish insists that the state law
requiring the dipping of cattle
be obeyed. He has filed bills of
information against ITO persons
for failure to dip, and declares
that he will prosecute them to
the full extent of the law. He
persuaded the police jury to bond
the injunction recently obtained
informing them that they would
be subject to prosecution for
failue to perform their plain duty
if they didn't.
Probably no law Louisiana has
ever had stirred up the farming
district of the state so much as
the tick" law. This is all the,
stranger in view of the number
of parishes which either had vol
unfairly freed themselves of tick
or had engaged in the work be-
fore the bill was passed, and of
the unanimity with which live
stock owners agreed that aboli-
ton of the tick would practical
ly give Louisiana an extended
and profitable cattle industry.
The authorities in nearly every |
parish have been exceedingly |
lenient with the men who defy |
the dipping law. In many cases |
defendants have been released

hundreds of thousands of dollars
to prosecute the work and that
more than two-thirds of the total
area of the state has been releas-
ed from quarantine, the authori-
ties cannot be blamed for insist
ing that this great expenditure
be not lost. Several parishes
which have already been declar-
ed tick free are under threat of
q reimposition of the quarantine
because they have failed to keep
up the comparatively small
work to "clean up" the cattle
pest in their borders.
Vigorous action in Grant par
ish may cause a test of the law
in the supreme court, but we
fail to see how that will do the
obJectors any good. The eradi-
cation work can not be stopped
by an injunction, and the state
will be free of ticks long before
the supreme court acts, in the
