DIPPING DESTROYS TICKS.
Fordyce Man Freed His Cattle in One
 Season.

Season.
 From the Arkansas Gazette.
 To the Editor of the Gazette:
 l notice every day in your papers where some party is knocking on dip- ping our cattle, and censuring the government and ther representatives to the end that this dipping does not kill the tick, nor does it do the cattle any good. I do not claim to know just how much good dipping does do our cattle, nor just how long the life of the tick lasts after he has been success fully put thru the vat, but l do know we had to dip in this county last year, and it falling to my lot to own 10 head of highgrade milch cows, fell in line and began to dip them, as l was strong for it. Anything to keep these ticks off my cows, and, believe me, they were simply covered with them. had these 10 head running in an eight-acre pasture and did not fail to dip every two weeks, as was required by the law, and to my surprise and satisfaction, after dipping these cows all the season last year, have not to date found tick of any nature on my cattle, or in my pasture, and wish to state that owing to the county not appropriating any money this season to continue the dipping we are not dipping, and just the one season dipped my cows has rid the tick from my pasture. Of course, do not al- low any other cattle from the outside to go into this pasture at all, and my cattle today are as clean from ticks as any COW in this or any other state; not only my cows, but am unable to find any ticks in my pasture. If this dip- ping will do this much good here in one season, why will it not completely de stroy the tick, if continued required time, as the government has fully tried it out? Yours truly,
 A L. Carraway.

.PO|NDEXTER STATES
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 PLAN InT0LERABLE

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 26.-Sen- ator Poindexter. of Washington, re- publican, addressing the Business Mems Club here tonight, declared that the proposed league of nations plan was utterly intolerable" in whatever form it may be developed and was unacceptable to the senate and the American people. He said "union of action and cooperation was highly desirable if it did not in yolve surrender of the independ- ence and sovereignty of the free na- tions of the world"
 "Under the constitution of the lea gue of nations or any constitution based upon similar principles" said Mr. Poindexter, "the autonomy and self-determination of the individual nations would be absolutely destroy ed. In other words, while pretend ing to preserve liberty it would by this very act at once destroy the lib critics of the world and set up mon- strous military despotism in its place
 Europe with it's community Of Tn. terests may feel that it can control the proposed league of nations, and undoubtedly it can; the United States, however, with different sci of interests, having paid the fearful cost of it's entry into the war against Germanp to preserve liberty, would make a monstrous mistake now tc surrender that very liberty to diff ferent form of world government II ! the shape of league of nations witt authority and power to enforce us decrees upon the United States"

NEW MEASURES
 ARE NECESSARY
 FOR WORLD PEACE
Hungarian Situation Calls for Changes According
 to Temps.

Paris, Mar. 26.-French Wireless Service. )--New measures must be taken by the peace conference in view of the situation in Hungary and oth- CT parts of the Central Empires, the Temps says. The newspaper suggests the following program for the con- ference:
 'Tke allies can no longer pretend to settle entirely the fate of the en- tire world, but they must feel that it is their absolute duty to solve some essential questions and agree on a policy which will permit the reduct- ion of the allied forces and the grad ual abolishment of chaos.
 "The, frontiers of Germany have to be fixed and decisions have to be talk en with regard to the Italian demands The questions in which Belgium is interested have to be solved as well as the territorial claims of the Cze- chs. The Poles, Jugo-Slavs and Ru- manians have to be conciliated. Com mon danger will make it easier. It is necessary to say what the allies have right to demand payment for and to stipulate guarantees for this pay ment. 1t must be decided whether parts of Germany will, or will not be occupied.
 | Must Form League. "The league of nations must be !, established, if it is needed to bind the allies together and to continue at work for the peace conference. These are the chief questions which a peace treaty ought soon to solve. i "The German government may re- fuse to sign or may even declare be- fore hand that it cannot accept dis cussion on the basis fixed by the al. ] lies. Whether Germany gives or re fuses her signature and whether we are to attempt to negotiate with he, or not, should not paralyze us. The
 parliaments. of the allied countries
 are qualified to sanction the final act of the peace conference and must
 sanction it."

YOUTH BROWNS IN BAYOU NEAR
 SIXTH AVENUE
Clifton Pilkington Was
 Playing Near Culvert.
BODY RECOVERED
 BY AGED MAN
Parents of Little Fellow Were Out of City When Accident
 Occurred.

Clifton Pilkington, five year old l son of MT. and Mrs. Cliff Pilking- ton, 1017 East Sixth avenue, was drowned yesterday afternoon about o'clock in the bayou at Tenth and Sixth avenue. The little boy with two little companions, was playing near the edge of the culvert at Sixth avenue when he slipped and fell into the stream. His playmates ran, screaming for help, but it was more than thirty minutes after the child had fallen in before the body was found.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Pilkington were out of town. Mrs. Pilkington is in San Antonio for her health, and MT. Pilkington, it is stated, was in Jones' boro. The child had been left with it's grandmother, Mrs. Tom Dillon Mrs. Dillon came to town yesterday afternoon leaving the child at home.
 Rains Cause Rise.
 On account of the heavy rain of Tuesday afternoon and night, the bayou was unusually swollen, and when the child fell in, it's pitiful eff forts to get out were futile. Its head was seen to bob up once near a tree, and then it went down to be seen no more until it was brought out in the arms of L. c. Baw.
 A large crowd was attracted to the place soon after the child fell in, and of the many standing on the bank, none ventured in until MT. Baw, who is about 70 years of age, joined the crowd Learning of the happening he procured grappling hooks, and wad- ing in, succeeded in locating the body on the bottom of the bayou about fifty feet downstream from where the child fell in.
 Holderness and Company had been summoned, and when Mir. Baw came to the bank with the body, it was placed upon a quilt, and every ef- fort was made to revive him. After nearly an hour had been spent trying to resusticate the child with a lung motor the effort was declared fruit less, and the little fellow was carried to his parents home while solicitious neighbors went out to dispatch tele- grams to MT. and Mrs. Pilkington, telling of the childs tragic death.

DEM0B|LIzAT|ON
 SATISFACTORY TO
 SECRETARY BAKER
Best Record of Discharge for Overseas Men is AS
 Hours After Arrival.

Washington, Mar. 26.-Upon his return to Washington today, from a swing around the country visiting army disqualification centers in company with General March, chief of staff, Secretary Baker said he had found that the best record generally of discharge for men from overseas after their arrival in the camps in the United States was AS hours. The secretary told of one small camp where men were released on the same day of arrival and said that in none of the camps visited did the period exceed six days.
 MT. Baker gave detailed descrip- tion of the processes of demobiliza- tion, including the examination of each man by from ten to thirteen doc tors to determine whether the men had suffered any injurious physical effects by reason of their service with the fighting forces. Each doctor, the secretary said, is specialist in a certain line and where an ailment is found board of review consisting of three doctors makes further exam ination. The secretary said he had talked with great number of sold- iers both in the camns and on the trains and that he did not recall a single instance of complaint because of failure to receive full nay.
 Aid Men to Get Jobs.
 1 During his visits to the camps. the war secretary noted that agents of the department of labor and other government agencies interviewed each discharged man to determine wheth- CT he had job and if not. what his qualifications were and what work he desired to take up.
 During his trip, MT. Baker had by invitation spoken before chambers of commerce or similar bodies ir many places. In these addresses, he said he generally spoke of the league of nations proposal as being to his mind world necessity be. cause of the nature of modern war fare. Mir. Baker added that without exception, he had found his hearers in agreement as to the necessity o1 establishing some means of substit uting arbitration, and peaceful set dement's for force in national dis nutes. MT. Baker plans for visit tt Europe at an early date have no
 been chareed and he hopes to sai next month.
