Ready for DriUe
 On Cattle Ticks

Washington, D. C.. March 10.- March finds preparations we'll under way for the 1920 campaign against the cattle fever tick. Prospects for effective work are so encouraging that Federal official in charge of tick eradication expect that at least ninety, counties in the various tick infested states will be made ready for release from Federal quaran- tine next December, 1.e This will mean much larger amount of ter ritory cleaned up than was placed in the free area last year.
 Only 30 per cent of the total area originally quarantined remains under tick domination. And it should be materially reduced this year. The end of the long cam paign which began actively in 1906 is well in sight, and with continued cooperation from the state and county governments the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States De partment of Agriculture, hopes that in not more than three years the South will be tick-free.
 Cattle will be sent through the dipping vats as early in the season as the weather and their condition will permit. Reports from fielc workers say that cattle which went into the winter tick free are show ing up this spring in much better condition than the animals whicf were subject to continued attack: of the parasites. Cattle in pool condition may be kept from tho vats until they have a chance al spring forage, but wherever possi ble early dipping will be practicet to kill the ticks before they have : change to multiply by thousands ol millions.
 Despite bad weather dipping wa' not discontinued during the winter in localities where the operation would not harm the cattle. There were more than 300,000 clippings 1T January, and probably a greater number in February. The. winter work with early dipping in March will give the tick eradicators fly 1 ing start that is expected to be z l big help in making this year a big one.
 According to the latest report 32,756 dipping vats-"canals tt prosperity"-are ready for us thi' spring. Arkansas has 2,628 vats.

Cotton Quarantine
 Put Into Effect

No products of any kind may be shipped into Arkansas from the states of Louisiana and Texas ex- cept under special permit. This was declared yesterday at special meeting of the State Plant Board called by Governor Brough last week to consider the pink boil worm men, ace. The action of the board is the result of the recent discovery of the pest in Louisiana and in new points in Texas.
 The board ordered a quarantine which forbids the shipment into Ar kansas from these states of cotton lint, linters, waste, sweepings, sam ples, cotton seed, cotton seed huIls, cotton ginning and milling machin- cry, and materials used in handling cotton products that originated in the quarantine areas. The board also adopted ruling which makes it necessary to secure permits from the chief inspector of the board before the cotton products may be shipped into the state from areas outside of the quarantined sections These permits, it was said, will be issued only after affidavits have been filed showing that the ship ment originated from point out side of any quarantine areas. J. R. Alexander, president of the board, emphasized the necessity of the American Cotton Association
 getting behind the plant board and
 helping to carry out the boards program. In Louisiana, it was said, | the United States Department of Agriculture has secured close CO., operation with the American Cotton Association MT. Alexander said that on account of economic dis turbances incident to the proclaim l ing of quarantines and the creating of noncotton zones, the American Cotton Association has a function to perform in buying and selling
 cotton products that requires close
 cooperation between plant boards
 and the association Commissioner
 Ferguson pledged the, full support
 of his department with boards in
 other states in lessening distur-
 bances thah might result from quar-
 antines.
 The meeting of the board was at
 tended by Gov. Brough, J. R. Alex
 ander, Dr. John Elliott, Jim G.
 Ferguson, W. J. Baerg and George lC Becker.

COW VANQUISHES BEAR
 AND PUTS IT TO FLIGHT

Clean, N. Y.-Domestic won over the wild in battle between a big black bear and a cow in the barn of George Hollonby, on the Promised Land Road, east of here. The bear tried to carry off a calf, and the COW went to the rescue. Severely clawed and with one horn torn away, she carried the fight to the bear in such style that bruin was forced to give up.
 The little calf was the only spec tator to the fight, but the Hollonby family saw the bear making her retreat. The animal ran against a rug hanging on clothes line and tore it into shreds. Farmers who saw the animal failed to get a shot at her, but there have been many visits from bears of late and resi- dents are loading for them.

WiU Case Decided
 In Federal Court

Little Rock, March 9.-An opin- ion, involving the estate of the late George B. Pettus of St. Francis county, which is valued at more than $450,000, was given by Judge Jacob Trieber yesterday in the case of John R. Coates, Jr., by his next friend, John R. Coates, and John R. Coates vs k. A. Rolfe, and others. MT. Pettus, in his will, which was made in 1909, left his property to his wife and three daughters not to be given to them until they were 25 years of age. E. A. Rolfe and R. l.. Pettus were named executors and trustees of the estate. Among the provisions of the will were that Genevieve, Evelyn and Marie, the daughters, must attend college or seminary for three years after th2y finished their high school course and must not marry until they were 25 unless they secured the consent of the trustees. Evelyn Pettus was married with the consent of the trustees to John R. Coates of Mem- phis. A son, John R. Coates, Jr., was born September 2, 1918, Mrs. Evelyn Coates died in October, 1918. Mrs. Coates was not 25 when she died and it was alleged in the com- plaint, which was filed by her hus- band in behalf of himself and son, that the trustees and sisters of Mrs. 1 Coates held that because she died before she inherited her share of the property that she had forfeited | it to her sisters.
 Judge Trieber yesterday ruled that Mrs. Coates heirs were entitled to her share in the estate. In ad- dition to holding that by her death the estate was not forfeited to her sisters, he held that while the de fendants claimed that she had violat- ], ed the provision of the will, which required that she attend a college or seminary for three years. after she finished high school, the proof was to the contrary. A special master will be appointed to make an accounting. Judge Trieber held that the interest, if any, Mrs Coates husband, had in the estate, need not be decided until the re- port of the special master.

GYPSY SOLD HUSBAND
 FOR FIVE THOUSAND

Kansas City-Peter Guy, gypsy, the other day the husband of Mary Guy, also of the wandering tribe of Romany, is now the property of another woman.
 Peter was sold by his wife for S5,000 in gold, in addition to the property the two had collected in their wanderings.
 The bill of sale was drawn up in the office of local attorney, and at the same time an agreement on the division of the property was made matter of record.
 The three parties to the eternal triangle appeared in the lawyers office and stated their wants. Af- ter he had recovered from the shock the attorney asked for ex- plantations.
 "Oh, not necessary" Mrs. Guy said. This woman she want to buy my husband. She have money enough, I don't want him any more, so I sell him."
 She went on to explain that it was the tribal custom and all of them seemed to think that the pro- ceedings were perfectly legal: The wife asked if her husband could now marry the woman who had bought him.
 When told by the attorney that he would have to obtain a divorce she merely smiled and nodded. The sale was not the first one in which Guy had figured as human chattel, his former owner told the lawyer.
 "Oh, paid s5,O00 for him my. self, and I am selling him cheap
