USE OF CIGARETTES
 ON THE INCREASE

billion cigarettes were produced in the United States last year, and, so far as the department of agriculture has been able to ascertain, pracd- cally all will be used in this country, ss few will be exported. This repre- tents, the department reported, four times as many cigarettes as were produced seven years ago.
 ~ Consumption of tobacco in other forms decreased slightly last year, due largely to higher prices. Last year 625,000.OOO pounds of leaf to- oacco were used in manufacturing compared with G58,000,O0 in 1917.

LEAGUES OF NATIONS
IN HISTORY

President Wilson's league OF ma
tions to enforce peace is as old as
the hills. There is nothing new un-
der the sun--which Is old in itself
and the birth of the idea. so far
as history shows, dates back to 1923
when Robert ii of France, known
as the Cody. and Henry II OF Ger
many, known as the Holy, met one
August day on the banks of the
River Meuse to discuss universal
peace in monarchial and kingly
manner. After considerable talk,
which resulted In nothing tangible
they decided to go to Paris the next
year to consult Pope Benedict VIII.
But the Pope and Henry, both being
old. died before the meeting could
take place. Henry's successor to the
throne of Germany WAS ambitious,
and instead Of desiring universal
peace, the world had universal war
Three hundred years later Dubois
revived the scheme. and outlined a
plan to Philip Nv of France. but the
nations were too busy fighting to
think of peace. But the idea germ
mated, and in 1917 Desiderius Eras-
mus mentions ii as a favorite project
to assemble congress of Kings
at Cambrai" who were to "enter
into q mutual and indissoluble en-
gagement to preserve the peace with
each other and throughout all Of
Europe" Emperor Maximilian,

Grayson County Going
After Cattle Tick in Earnest

In view of the interest which has
been aroused in dipping to get rid
of the cattle tick in this county. and
thus get out Of quarantine. the fol-
lowing from the Denison Gazette
will be OF interest to most of our
farmer ard stOckmcn readers. IL
will be noted that one community
in particular is going after the pests
in systematic manner
Thcr" are 5.72O farms in Gra,son
county. On only onc-tenth of these
or $40, are cattle infested with fe-
yer ticks; in other words nine GU;
of every ten farms in the county
are free from ticks and the county
as a whole with the exception of the
roads and lanes and shipping pens
have been released from federal
quarantine.
The owners of the $40 farms
where the cattle are still tick in
tested are getting very busy build
ing watts to put "Mr. Tick" out Of
business in Grayson county.
For convenience the county has
been divided into three districts.
The Denison district comprises the
northeastern section of the county
in charge Of w. o. BOren. who lives
at 1l2 East Monterey street, Deni.
son. Mr.. Boren reports that three
vats already built and the farmers
are planning to build thirteen more.
Mr.. 'Boren states that farmers
throughout his entire district are
enthusiastic in wanting to get start
ed at once to get rid Of the ticks
before they have time to multiply
with the coming Of spring. W. L.
Ashburn has over a hundred milk
cows to dip. Mr.. Ashburn wants to
get started dipping his cows before
the warm days come. George Whit
ing near Bells has over 100 head.
Other enthusiastics are Fred Miller
near Pottsboro and Earl Kimbrough
near Preston.
The people in the Ambrose COM
munity have formed perhaps the
best organization In the county.
They met and elected Mr.. Enlow
Amos, foreman. instructed him to
hire men and build the vat. The
county commissioners very gener-
ously have agreed to furnish the
material and dipping fluid. Mr..
Amos was instructed to hire men
to build the vat and then collect
from each farmer such sum per
head each time his cattle were
dipped, making this collection suf-
ficient to cover the money Mr.. Amos
sent out. All dippings after the vat
is paid for will be free to all the
farmers of Ambrose district.
C. A. Jennings. state inspector.
recommends this Ambrose plan to
all districts in the county. Albert
Haytcr living at Gordonvillc has
charge of the northwestern section
of the county. Mr.. Hayter's sec
tion has four watts ready for use
with seven more to be huilt. Mr..
Haytcr finds farmers thruout his
district are anxious to begin dip
ping before the ticks get a start.
Another farmer who Is enthusiasts
tic over getting rid of cattle ticks
is C. a. Wcndt. living in Sherman,
whose place is in Dclcware Bend.
He dipped 2S1 head last season and
his farm Is already clean. X. s.

First Baptist church Sunday morn
ing, conducted by the pastor, Rev.

regular service. Miss. Hattie Prewitt
rendered solo.
Jack was a splendid young man,
raised in Durant, and was intimate
ly known to bro. Butler through as
sOciations at church and sunday
School, at which he was a regular at
tendant. and the minister paid many
fitting tributes to the life and mem
ory of this splendid young man
whose life was given in the name
of liberty in a foreign land.
Young Mr.. Boyd was intimately
known TO the writer, who years ago,
when Jack was q small lad, roome l
at Mrs. Boyd's house. | do not think
a better boy was ever born, grew to
manhood. and died, than Jack BOYD,
for we've watched his development
these past eleven years and nave
seen in the man that developed the
influence of noble mother that
stimulated clean thinking, clean liv-
ng-character-in her boys heart.
Some years ago the lad took en-
plOyment with the Durant Mercan-
tile Company. where. under the tute-
lage of Mr.. Terrell, he developed
from an akward. scrawly-handed
boy into Il first-class clerical man.

man-oWned property in this country
that wasn't taken over by the alien
property custodian since the war be-
gan. The German embassy has been
occupied by attaches of the Swiss
legation, which represented German
interests here during the war.
1t was in this building that most
of the German plots against the
United States and it's citizens were
Matched before we entered the war.
There is a possibility that the rank
of our envoy to Berlin may be re-
duced from that of ambassador to
that of minister.
Germany has been reduced to
second-rate power, and it is dip1o-
matte custom to send diplomats of
the highest rank only to first-rate
powers. Mexico is practically the
only exception to this rule.
In addition to the main diplomatic
job at Berlin to be filled by Presi-
dent Wilson. soon, the state depart
ment will have score of consuls
to appoint for service in various Ger
man cities. We had tWenty-three
consuls general in Germany and her
colonies before the war started, be-
sides numbers of vice consuls and
consular agents.

Capital. REMOVAL.
MAY BE- VOTED ON
DURING THE: WEEK
Measure Is Generally Re
garded as Being Certainto
Be Beaten When Vote is
dK6lI a.,

There was nothing definite Mon
day as to when the pending bill
to remove the state capital from
Atlanta to Macon would come to
vote in the house or the senate =
Members of the Atlanta delegation
state that they are ready for vote
and would like to have it and get
the matter disposed of, but they are
not able to get any definite satisfac-
ton from the Macon delegation.
1t is likely that the bill may be
reached in it's regular order in the
senate this week, and in this event
it will be necessary for the Macon
delega ton to show their hand.
They must either move to table
the bill, or to postpone it to a DAY
certain, or to postpone it indefinite
ly, or come to a vote on it. II they
make either one of the first three
moves they will acknowledge the
defeat of the bill.
That capital removal is certain TO
fail in both the house and senate is
the opinion among members OF the
Legislature. The fact that the re-
moval of the capital on the plan pro-
posed would heavily burden the tax
payers of the state, and the further
fact that an election on the subject
would tend to destroy the political
unity of the state, have convinced
the members of the legislature that
the less they have to do with the
proposition the better they will serve
