STATE COOPERATION
 ELIMINATES CATTLE TICK

WASHINGGTON, Dec. 2S (by Asso- ciated Press). The cattle tick is fast being eliminated through the work of the department of agricul- ture and the o-operation of the states. Of the fifteen states which were tick infested when the work of eradication systematically began on July 1, 1906, six of them have been completely freed of the pest. These states are California, Kentucky, Mis- sissippi, Missouri, South Carolina and Tennessee.
 During the year ending Dec. 1, 1920 more than 50000 square miles were freed of ticks and since the work began in 1906, the area released has been 51o,091 square miles That is 70 per cent of the 728,565 square miles infested with the tick when the eradication campaign began. The area remaining to be cleared com prises 21S,474 square miles, all of which is in the southern states.

STATE COLLEGE, Dec. 2S (by As sociated Press) Senior co-eds at the Pennsylvania State college have demonstrated their ability to combat the high cost of living by running their table on less than fifty cents day per person.
 A group of seven girls in home eco monies, in their first of eight weeks residence in the housekeeping prac- tice house maintained for their bene fit on the campus, established a rec ord of 43.6 cents day. They set the limit at fifty cents, which is less than half of what the men students pay for board in the town.
 The girls manage ten room house during their residence as a part of their training. Posted schedules give each her duty for the day. Records of this kind may give partial ans wer to the question of why there are frequent marriages around the com IleuCelucuI pcl lOu edCH year.

 division in order to show that this
 merely is not a money-making proposi- tion, but also sporting event. We will endeavor to give American sports
 men real championship battle" Descamps' attention was called to dispatches from Los Angeles which re- ported Dempsey's manager as express bout to Is rounds and announcing that it was his opinion the contest would last only one round any way. A That is exactly my opinion" Said Descamps. You may note, however, Manager Kearns fails to state who he thinks will win in one round. If Kearns IS fearful the spectators will not receive a. run for their money
 unless the bout is billed for 45 rounds. , added Descamps smilingly, adding, perhaps we can arrange for the man agers and promoters to each contribute a 15-round battle in addition to the
 principals in the worlds championship bout"
