Dips Cheaper Than Ticks

That big dividends follow in
vestments in cattle tick eradica-
ton is shown by investigation dur
ing the last year by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The expense of permanently free
ing cattle from ticks is repaid from
20 to 80 times. The cost of max
ing the necessary number of dip
ping varies from only Is to 80
cents for each animal, and one can
vass showed an average estimated
increase of S9.76 in value of the
tick-free cattle. More than that,
the eradication of the tick, as con-
Quoted under Federal supervision,
permits the introduction Of high,
class beef and dairy cattle and the
establishment of a more profitable
livestock industry. Emphasis is
placed by the department on the
need for a clear understanding of
the purpose of tick eradication and
the necessity for strict compliance
with regulations to insure tho
roughness. By cooperating with
the Government in the work farm
ers receive the numerous benefits
resulting from the opportunity for
great improvement in their herds.

SPECTATORS TRY
TO GRAB LIBERTY
Bonds At BARGAIN
People Urged Not to Sell Government
Securities at Sacrifice or Exchange
Them For Questionable Paper.

Atlanta-Reports are reaching the
Federal Reserve Bank Of Atlanta that
many owners of Liberty Bonds are
selling them at prices lower than
their market value.
Investigations show that shrewd
SPECTATORS are active in trying to
induce people to part with their Gov.
eminent securities. Many of them
are offering to take Liberty Bonds in
exchange for some other so-called
Security which promises a higher
rate OF interest than Liberty Bonds.
1t Is pointed out by Treasury of.
hcials that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. One evi-
dence Of their value is the eagerness
OF the Spectator to get possession of
them. He knows what they are worth.
Their Liberty Bond owner does not
know the value Of the stock" OF
bond" he is offered in exchange for
his Government security.
Liberty Bonds have back Of them
the entire resources Of the United
States which makes them worth their
face value. The person who exchang
es them for some other kind of paper
risks losing the money invested in
his bond as well as the interest.
Other people are selling their bonds
because they feel that the wars
over and they are no longer oblig.
ated to hold them. Although lighting
has ceased, the war will not be over
until the peace treaty IL signed and
our soldiers are home. A Liberty Bond
is certificate of service and the Der.
son who sells them at a sacrifice is
deserving the cause. He is rejecting
on his own judgment and patriotism
and surrendering an investment that
never will fail to pay returns.
It is recognized that there are times
when investors are compelled to seek
relief from financial distress. Often
their first impulse is to dispose OF their
Liberty Bonds
In such cases the bank is the place
to go. Banks will lend money on lib
e-ty Bonds. The borrower is helped
out of his difficulty and does not lose
possession Of his Government bond.

livery one interested in the enforce

be gratifed to know that Doctor krusen,

an efficient man willing to accept the
office of chief of the division of housing

George H. Shaw, the new chief, is a
graduate of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology and an experienced civil
engineer. He has been recently in charge
of health and sanitation in the shipyards
under the direction of the Emergency

both experience and technical training
His task is to remove the abuses which
certain landlords have permitted to grow
up in the poorer quarters of the city
through their Indifference to the health of
their tenants. He has corps of inspec-
tors, but it will take more than the report
from an Inspector to put a house in proper
sanitary condition.

TINE prospect Of wator. shortage after
l. the monotonous deuEc of the last ten
days is homogeneous but not in the least
funny The break at the TorrcsdaIe
plant is serious--as every one knew 1t
would be when it finally came.
Appeals such as Chief Davis has made
to people in the affected districts for sys-
tematic care in the use of water during
the two weeks that will be required for
repairs are seldom Needed Every man
has a habit of leaving the practice Of
abstract virtues to his neighbor. Mean
while water shortage involves a very
real danger. 1t is particularly necessary
at this time Of the year to adhere strictly
to the rules Of cleanliness and sanitation
that normally insure health in any com
munity.
The blame in this instance must rest
on Councils. The machinery at Torres
dale is old and overdrivcn-qute like the
machinery of our municipal administra-
tion. Yet an accident worse than that
of yesterday probably will be necessary
to bring appropriations adequate to make
the improvements which Chief Davis has
been urging for years.

PEACE JUBILEE

THERE is a movement on foot to do
- away with the celebration of peace
Jubilee in September and to use the funds
to provide financial rewards for the men
who fought.
The one surprising thing about the
movement is that it originated in the
American Legion, composed of the SOL
diers themselves.
1t isn't pretended that the hundred dol
lars or so received by each soldier, if the
plan goes through, will pay him for what
he has done.
That's the answer
If man does a thousand-dollar lob
he'd rather take nothing than thirty
cents.
Moreover, the peace jubilee, if it ma
terializes, will be not merely tribute to
the soldier but the symbol of a wished
for time; not for the fighters alone. but
for the whole people.
Maybe there are better wavs of snend-
ing money than in the holding of a peace
jubilee. Doubtless the soldiers deserve
more money than they have received.
But the two things are distinct and
should not be confounded.

the Bible in the style of Robert Cham
bers. Whenever a literary adventurer
comes along with native energy that is
greater than his appreciation of good
English he makes an assault on the Bible
Yet every true genius of English let
ters from Milton to Kipling found inspira-
tion in the dignity and beauty OF the
familiar text The slow cadences, the
glory of sound and color, the majestic
simplicity of the hook of books leave
sensitive minds awed and humble. And
this is what Mr.. Ford would reduce to
the clipped phraseology of Detroit com
mercial English or. perhaps, to the breezy

THE DAWN CHILD

WHILE in a wilderness of woods lay
w My counterpane of stars was drawn
away.
And there upon the breast or drowsy earth
/ watched the tresses of old Night turn gray.
The eastern hills were trimmed with saffron
light.
And on their ridge. in burning robes bedight,
The Dawn child with his rounded rosy
cheeks
Blew on the embers in the camp of Night.
Down in the valley of the sleeping lake,
below the mist, l heard heron wake:
The startled challenge of sambhur stag
Belled from the dripping tange of the brake.
Then all the jungle cocks awoke and crew.
While still the Dawn child at his camp fire
blew
Until the monkeys huddled on the boughs
Hooted and shook upon me showers of dew,
Night moved away before triumphant morn
Decked in the gold his dying sire had worn
But still the deeper secrets of the wood
Were clothed in shadows from her mantle
torn.
The Dawn child's footsteps on the sky gave
birth
To roses where they pressed, and from the
earth
Sprang dewy scents as blossoms oped their
eyes,
And steam from camp fires and song Of
mlrth. John Still.

protects all the rights of this country
which the timid had feared were to be
surrendered, and also that it does not
wrench from their meaning any of the
articles Of the covenant. Every article
dealt with is susceptible to the interpre-
tation which Mr.. Taft has put upon it,
and every article must be so interpreted
if the constitutional powers of the ma
tional government are not to be stretched
beyond all precedent,
The two letters exhibit Mr.. Taft as one
of the most skillfully practical political
statesmen in the public eye at the pres
ent time. As strategist he challenges
comparison with General Foch, for he has
cut the ground from under the feet of the
opponents of the league covenant and by
his comments on the political tactlessness
Of the President he has made it impossi-
Bile for any opponent of the President to
charge him with trying to pull Mr.. Will
sons chestnuts out of the fire.
The effect is already manifest in Wash
ngtOn, where some of the most bitter
opponents of the whole league program
are saying that a compromise will be
quickly reached.
The most heartening feature of the
whole affair is that when the occasion
was yearning for leadership leader ap-
pearcd with the constructive vision and
the practical sense to point the way out.
In all his public career Mr.. Taft never
did his country a better service.
