NOT A POLITICAL QUESTION.

The agitation in regard 20 cattle tick
eradication is not a question OF poll
teal buncomb and vote catching, but
a vital issue destroying a parasite
that has cost thousands of dollars in
the loss of cattle in the county in the
past twenty years. We as county
with hardly one tenth of its farming
lands in what may be termed a state
of cultivation, the balance practically
denuded of all its timber, and today
worth as to value ten times what 1t
was when timbered.
With the demands for highways,
roads and arterial means of travelling,
we must have an asset that will be
attractive to the thousands that are
turning southwards. and with our gen.
ial climate Indigenous grasses and the
land building and stock feeding velvet
bean, with the winters not so severe
so as to always have some green crops,
such as rye. oats and similar pastur-
age, stock raising is the asset or
money crop, not the scrub stock COW,
or razor back hog. but stock that will
develop rapidly to mature size and
weights, also respond to care, to the
dairy demands.
How can such stock be placed on a
range or section infested with such
bloodsuckers as the COW tick, can meat
from such animals be conducive to
good health, or milk and butter be
of the better grades?
The movement that has been put
forth in this county the past year has
cost the tax payers at least twenty
five thousand dollars; it has also
nearly destroyed the cow ticks, and
from the fact of the cattle being prac-
tically free from the pests, proves that
it is the only way to place our county
in the list of progressive inducement
of one of the greatest financial indus
tries of the world. that of meat and
dairy products.

in such dire straits for a public job,

PREJUDICE IN ENGLAND
AGAINST GERMANS HIGH

London. April 12.-Large numbers
of German and other undesirables who
were deported from England in the
war have managed to make their way
back to London but have encoun-
tered warm receptions when their
identity has been discovered. They
managed to cross from the continent
by working their way as sailors on
tramp steamers to northern English
and Scottish ports
These Germans who have come back
to England to take up business again
find il a hard row to hoe. says the
Evening Standard. One German bust
ness man gave it up and returned to
his Fatherland after being refused ad-
mission to five London hotels. He
found rooms in a Bloomsbury board
ing house, but two days later the other
boarders discovered him, and notified
the manager they could not live under
the same room with a German; and
he was turned out.
A German butcher in a London SUI
burb was prevented by his neighbors
from reopening his old store the other
day, although he had lived in England
for 40 years, and there are many SINH
lar cases.
Neither captain nor crew of the
steamer Spica, the first German cargo
ship to enter the Firth of Forth since
August, 1914, were allowed ashore at
Methil and. in Difference to local feel

Dear Mr.. George: Please notice

you and other noted representatives
OF the best things on earth would
surely understand US as a free people
do not at all stand for the obnoxious
tactics OF obstruction by a small
minority seen in our United States

men OF honor and ability in office. SO

1--WE Are Not All Guilty"
Brother Raymond Fosdick is a bit
too hard on us, calling US race of
cutters" because the Republican SEN
ators threw the league out of the
window to satisfy miserable political
quarrel He is right in saying that
Europeans expected better things of
us, namely, that we would be repre-
scented by senators who would stand
true to the professions of President
Wilson, but those people have learned
or will learn that at the bottom of
the whole business is politics and also
a wish to placate large pro-German
vote, and we shall, as a people, be
acquitted by them. Indeed, there is
prospect that the American people
themselves will register their opinion
as to this miserable political quarrel"
