STATE HELPS COUNTIES
DRIVE OUT CATTLE TICK.

Washington, June 21.-An obstacle
which threatened to delay the final eX-
termination of the cattle fever tick in
Oklahoma is believed to have been sur
mounted when the Oklahoma State
Legislature recently appropriated 100000
to aid the work in counties where prop
erty is of small assessable value
Through this help it is believed that
several of the counties unable to com
pete tick eradication on their own re-
sources will be placed this year or next
year in the territory freed from the tick
and from the Federal restrictions
against the movement of cattle from tick
! infested territory.
| According to recent reports to the
| Bureau of Animal Industry of the
| United States Department, systematic
/ tick eradication work is being carried on
in Pittsburg, Coal, LeF'lore. Carter and
Latimer counties, and the infested por
tions of Muskogee and Love counties
The reports indicate that public as well
as Official sentiment is backing the ef
fort to rid the state of the parasite
which has impeded the development OF
profitable live stock raising and bal
anced farming.

THE STARRING OF HENRY STARR

THERE ARE SOME THINGS which people
should be glad to forget. Ex-Outlaw Hen
ry Starr, for instance, should be eXercls-
ing his forgotten instead of being up IN the
Usage country doing stunts before camera
for movie thriller in which his past misdeeds
are to be displayed before audiences made up
largely of children and youths of both sexes.
Mr. Starr really ought to try to forget the
career which caused him to be sent to the penl-
tentiary until Governor Robertson released HIM
recently on parole. He has opportunity now
to settle down in some legitimate line and be
good citizen. Other good citizens will give him
the hand of fellowship if he shows the proper
spirit.
There has been already entirely too much
of this Oklahoma outlaw stuff on the reels. 1t
is bad business in every way except Tor the
box office and the actor. For one thing, II Is
a mighty poor advertisement for Oklahoma.
The people of the East, for instance Just goat
over an Oklahoma outlaw film and when such
a film is shown in hundreds of towns and cities,
it creates in the minds of many thousands OF
people the erroneous notion that Oklahoma IS
a wild and woozy region, populated chiefly by
the picturesque bad man of pioneer days. what
Oklahoma needs is some movie publicity to off
set, rather than to enhance, this popular i'm
preston in the East and the North The Al
Jennings movies have not helped the outsider
to particularly true understanding and ap-
probation of the progress and the civic spirit
of this great commonwealth. Now we are to
have the Henry Starr thrillers thrust upon the
vast public elsewhere that knows Oklahoma
only as bandit blossomy wilderness.
These Oklahoma "eXes' of the bank and
train robbery careers should learn something
from the attitude which the late Frank James
of Missouri (also for a few years in later life
of Oklahoma as gentleman and good cit
izen) took with regard to the exploitation of
his career as an outlaw. Mr.. James, who was
highly respectable and useful citizen for the
thirty three years of life that remained to him
after his surrender, trial and acquittal, once
told the present writer that he had kept him
self poor in eXpending money to fight in the
courts against the producing of James Boys
in Missouri blood -and-thunder plays on the
stage. There were years in his life when he
supported his family on less than hundred
dollars a month as ticket-taker at ST. Louis
theater, though he had standing offers to ap-
pear at huge salary in plays founded upon
the outlawry of himself and his brother Jesse.
He said that he opposed the producing of such
plays for two reasons They misrepresented
the James family and they tended toward
making outlaw deeds attractive to youths of
uniformed minds
Frank James did society good service in
his opposition to such stage productions. AL
jennings Henry Starr. Emmett Dalton and
other eX-bandts of Oklahoma can do likewise
if they choose.

we do with the cabbage? 1t is altogether too
heavy for us at our age to throw at a movie

put the actor out of commission elsewhere. The
cabbage is too large for our small family to
eat in month of Sundays. We should like
to preserve it in alcohol, as Carter county s

finance the purchase of sufficient supply Of
alcohol-and just where could we buy the al
