In Honor of Soldiers of Moss
Township.

Last Friday the citizens of Moss
township gave barbecue in honor of
the young white men who served
their country in the army and navy
from that community and adjoining
communities. The writer regrets that
pressing matters prevented our ac-
Icepting an invitation to attend. A bar
becue dinner the like of which was
probably never seen before in the
county was served free to everybody.
Speeches were made by Mr.. A. S.
Tompkins, Mr.. S. MEG. Simkins and
Mr.. N. G. Evans. The young men
from Cleora and adjoining commu-
mites who donned the uniform were
Hezzie, Fuller, Walter and Thomas
Griffis, William F. Byrd, Sloan Wat
son, Bowles, Prescott, Charlie and
Dink Morgan, Gus Cheatham, Her
bert Williams, Warren Reel, A. L.
Brunson, Jr., L. R. Brunson, DR., and
Platt Brunson, Earl Wash, Calvin
Seigler, Talton and Earl Prince,
Hampton Medlock, Freeman, Dio-
mede, Tom and Eugune Corley, Jim
and Tom Burnett, Beorge and Capers
IDeLaughter, John and Diomede Hol-
lingsworth. All of these young men
have returned to their homes except
four. Hezzie Grifis died of wounds
received in battle and was buried in
France but later the government will
have his body removed to his family
burial ground at Gilgal church. Full
Her Grifis, Dink Morgan and Diomede
Hollingsworth are yet in the service.
The first named is in hospital in the
estates" suffering from eye trouble
and will be discharged as soon as his
eyes are cured. Diomede and Dink
are still in the navy.
Friday was great day at the
Brunson school house and those who
provided this honor for our returned
soldier boys deserve the highest COM
mendation.

 piled as often as necessary to protect 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 treated whether or not they show in- festation.
 When animals are grossly infested and the ear canals are packed full of ticks the parasites are easily visible, but when the infestation is light or moderate the ticks may be overlooked. The parasites usually attach them selves in the deep folds of the ear or crawl into the ear canal and follow il inward, sometimes as far as the ear drum. Animals badly infested usually shake their heads and repeatedly turn them from side to side, meanwhile in- verting first one ear and then the other.
 Restraining Animals for Treatment.
 Most animals oppose the insertion of anything into their ears. The farm CT who has only a few gentle farm ami mals to treat may tie them to a post or restrain them by other well-known methods, but ill treating herds of wild range cattle or horses special equip ment, such as dehorning chutes, brand ing chutes or other cattle chutes may be used.
 Ear ticks are especially prevalent in the semiarid sections of the south western area of the United States. The infested areas, however, extend as far noreh as Nevada and Oregon. The climate in parts of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and California seems to favor their rapid multipiica- tion. The ticks remain attached to the ears of the animals for several months, and shipments of live stock from the infested area to various points in the United States cause the parasites to become widely disseminat- ed, but moisture is. apparently detri- mental to their development ill certain stages, and they do not seem to be able to flourish in any part of the United States except the semiarid sections of the West.

EAR TICKS MAY
 BE CONTROLLED
injection of Pine Tar and Cotton seed Oil Found to Be Effec-
 tive With Stock.
DIPPING IS NOT EFFECTIVE
Animals in Infected Territory Should Be Examined at Frequent Inter vais and Treatment Applied
 as Often as Needed.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Ear ticks, blood-sucking parasites. which infect the ears of cattle, horses sheep, dogs and other animals and cause heavy losses among live stock in the semiarid sections of the south western states, cannot be eradicated by dipping, but may be controlled and losses may be prevented by injecting into the ears of infested animals q mixture of pine tar and cottonseed oil.
 Dipping Not Effective.
 Unlike the cattle fever tick which attaches itself to the outside portions of cattle, the ear tick cannot be eradi- cated or controlled by the ordinary methods of dipping. The remedy thor oughly tested by the bureau of animal industry in. field investigations con sists of two parts by volume of or dinary commercial pine tar and one part by volume of cottonseed oil. This mixture is injected directly into the ears by means of metal or hard rub Der syringe.
 In mixing the ingredients the cotton seed oil should be added to the pine tar and. stirred until uniformly smooth mixture is obtained. In colt weather the pine tar and cottonseed oil should be warmed so they will mix readily and flow freely. but they should not be heated more than is nee essary.
 This preparation when properly ap- piled kills the ticks but does not injure the animals. Cottonseed oil is a fairly good solvent for ear wax and the mix ture penetrates ordinary loose masses of ear wax and ticks, but it will not penetrate the hard masses, to break up which the use of an ear probe made of baling wire is suggested. The prep arati0n recommended not only kills all ear ticks with which it comes in contact, but being of a sticky consis- tency it remains in the ears and pro- tects the animals against reinfesta- ton for about 90 days.
 Frequency of Treatment.

Vice President and Minister of Finance Speak Before Assembly

Berlin, Aug. 13, tBy Associated atcly to create a mercantile fleet and help Germans abroad with state ad- Vances,' said Matthias Erzberger, vice premier and minister of finance of the German government, speaking before the national assembly at Waimar yes- terday. He promised the assembly that a bill carrying out these projects would be presented in a, few weeks.
 Herr Erzberger added that the loan situation must be given consideration, declaring the German nation must raise ,000,0OO marks yearly in taxes in order to gain healthy con- diton.
 '"rhe storm will come because it must come" he added. "I am con- stantly at work on the regular budget which will be submitted on October l. The liquidation of our war undertak ings must be completed as soon as possible.
 Under the peace treaty. he con- tnued, we have undertaken heavy obligations which we must observe with an honest will. A big property levy is the first step on the path of imperial financial reform. This will afford a possibility of reducing the floating debt and abolishing the vii cious paper rcgime.''
 Herr Erzbcrger declared that food stuffs cannot remain unburdened. Re- ferring to the use of German labor in the reconstruction of northern France, he said that this was the only possible means of reparation.
 'The entire system of taxation to be completed during the course of the year will be an accomplishment which will be a blessing to the German peo- pie and which will help to create a new and strong Germany built up on democracy he said

CAPTAIN VAMPED
 OUT OF $500 RING
Australian Sea Mariner Charges Wo- man Took Trinket For Engagement
 and Then Told of Other Husband

New York, Augfl 13.-Edgar Lucas Adams of Australia, captain of the American sailing vessel Phyllis, now laid up for repairs, was the complain \ant in Yorlville court yesterday on A charge of larceny against Mrs. Mill drcd McNitf, of No. 93 Johnson street, Brooklyn. who, he alleges, posed as single until after he had given her SG00 for an engagement ring, when she told him she was going back to her husband. He alleges he had her arrested and brought to court only after shc had insultcd him several times on the street.
 Mrs. McNiH, who is twe' ty-sevcn years old, lives with her mother, Mrs. Coffee, who said yesterday that her daughter had been married about six years to an officer in the American navy, but the couple had not lived to- gether for 9 long time. She denied that her daughter had taken $500 from Captain Adams for a ring, "Shc has three rings of her own,' she said.
 Captain Adams, who expects to go 10 sea in a few days and is staying at No. 137 Joralemon street, Brooklyn, alleged that he met the defendant, who gave her name as Mildred Cot- fee, May 27, and from then until June 90, when he alleges she told him she would have nothing more to do with him, he spent $3,O00 on her and gave her $500 to get a. diamond ring out of a paWnshop she having told him she would accept that as an engagement ring.
 Adams swore he got the rIng for her June 2S, and, in the presence of her mother and sisters, announced their enga gem ent. He had expected to sail about July 15, lie said, and they were going to be married when he returned in December.
 Captain Adams told inc court he thought he was at least entitled to the ring or the return of 5000. Upon mo- tion of counsel for both sides, the case was adjourned by Magistrate Huh for hearing today.
