TICK ERADICATION

Last week we presented the League 5
reason-and-common-sense plan for fin
ishIng tick eradication and dipping in
1921. The people at each vat should
not fail to get together before time for
dipping arrives and select their COM
mittee and alternate Inspector.
There are few things in the way
.of wrong information that have caused
trouble in the past. One Of these is
the expression free or tick free as
applied to the parishes or sections from
which the quarantine has been lifted.
"A lot of trouble has been caused by
saying a parish is tick free, and then
insinsting on further dipping. The
farmer has reasoned that if we are tick
free he should not be called on to dip.
and he is right. The mistake was IN
saying the parish was free. The proper
way to say it is this; Because Of good
progress and because the tick in under
control, the quarantine is lifted from
the parish; but it is necessary to make
a special effort to finish the job. A
parish nearly free of the fever tick is
like typhus patient who is recover
ing slowly. He must be very careful.
A slight indiscretion might cause re-
lapse.
The first evidence that a section is
free of ticks is that no cattle that come
to the vat have ticks on them. Since
the ticks are likely to get on the cat
tie, if none get on them, we naturally
think there are none in the pastures.
But we know this, that there might be
a few ticks in the pasture and they
didn't happen to get on the cattle that
time. When we have reduced the num-
Der of ticks by dipping until ticks are
scarce, it is reasonable to expect that
cattle will come up sometimes without
ticks. This is the danger period. We!
are apt to think the ticks are all kill
ed when they are still lurking in out-of-
the-way places. 1t would be much
better to dip months. though we never
saw tick, than to stop dipping and
find new lot of ticks next year.
When we are nearly free is a crit
ical time, just like the typhus pa
tents period Of convalescence. Peo-
pie fret to stop the trouble and stop
the expense just as the patient frets
for something to eat and for a release
Of the doctors rules. In each case, it
IS better to continue until the cure is
doubly sure, rather than have re-
lapse.

Week On Stock
Market Active

New York, Dec. 3.-The week
on the stock exchange was one OF
the most active this year. Trans
actions in stocks were unusually
large and broad and the turnover
in bonds for each full session
was considerably in excess of
$40, ,0OO,O 900.
Prices OF stocks tended mainly
upward, with rails as the only
prominent exceptions. Their fail
ure to advance was attributed to
rumor of prospective financing by
many Of the larger systems.
Steels and equipments assumed
leadership Of the market, those
issues becoming speculative fav-
orites in connection with the pro-
posed merger of various independ
ent producers. The general indus
trial list was better, although in
dications in many lines of trades
continued backward.
Aside from a temporary rise of
call loans to Y per cent, Deem
ber interest and dividend pay
ments were begun without strain
to the money market. The latest
report of the federal reserve
board and advices from agricul-
tural and cotton centers indicat-

New York, Dec. S.-Shades OF
Edwin Booth!
Babe Ruth, Sultan Of Swat, Is
an actor.
Or rather-well, he has signed
up with a vaudeville circuit to do
a song and dance with Wellington
Cross, a real actor, and Broadway
got it's first dose at the Palace
theater,
Cross, the actor in the act, says
to the Babe: Can you dance or
sing?" and the Babe answers
"No." Then Cross says: "That's
good; you surely belong in vaude-
vile" (See Joe Miller's Joke
Book, p. 1929 And the audience
laughed. Then Cross says, "Tell
me, Babe, what made you think
you could act?" And the Babe re-
plies, 81 saw you" And again
the audience laughed. Showing
how far Broadway is removed from
Main street, Gopher Prairie.
The Babe was all rouged up, and
he had a voice like Ringing s
steam calliope in action. And
graceful? Say!
Wears Yank Uniform.
The great swatter appears on
the stage in an honest-to-goodness
Yankee uniform, carrying bats
baseballs, golf clubs and a suit
case under his arm. He accident
ally drops bat on Wellington
Cross's toe. The comedy begins
There is a bulge in the Babe IS jaw
that looks suspiciohsly like chew
anu he looks SO frequently at the
back drop curtain you are forced
to conclude that he'd like to ex-
pectorate. But this isn't in the
act. ....
Then there are lot of jokes,
thick and fast. We won't give
them away, but if you II look up
the files of Life and Judge and
Punch for 1905 you IL get good
line on the vintage.
Then Babe goes through the act
of knocking a home run. His part
ner asks: is that all?" and the
Babe adds, as an afterthought:
"Well, va gotta keep your eye on
the ball" Then Cross comes back
"What was the matter with your
eye the day Art Nehf was pitch
ing?"
By and by the two of them come
down to the footlights and sit
GOWN. Cross proposes that they
sing. Were you ever out in the
Great Alone when the moon was
awful clear? Did you ever hear a
coyote cry when the night was
dark and drear? Then you've a
hunch what the singing was. The
song is about Little by Little and
Bit by Bit" You watch the Babe
while he's singing, and you just
know he'd like to. get his hands
on the guy that wrote the song.

Babe Ruth As Singer
Is King Of Singers
Stage Critic Claims

Then Babe becomes a mind
reader, blindfolded. He sits on the
stage and answers questions as his
partner goes through the audience.
Here s his stuff:
"See if you can strike this, =
shouts Cross, holding up an arti-
Gle. "a match, says Babe. "Don t
let the band confuse you. What s
Ithis?" asks wellington. "A band
ring" says the Babe. ''What am
l tearing?" says Cross. Paper" ;"
answers Babe. "Don't puff SO
hard What is this?" "a cigar"
answers the mind reader. "And
what is it this gentleman has in
his tie (now don't let this one
stick you) ~ asks Wellington. "a
stick pin, replies the great seer.
However, in the vocal league the
Babe does not bat much higher
than .O06.
There were several trifling mat
ters about Mr.. Ruth s performance
worthy of mention. He described
a certain lady as clark complect-
ed. " That was his own contribu-
tion to the advancement of the
Language. He wore bandage
about his left wrist, although he
had not struck out once the day
before and had not slid into base
for several weeks. He carried a
golf bag on his shoulder when he
first entered the stage from the
Polo grounds, probably having
shot nine holes between games OF
a double-header.
The Babe is drawing big crowds
and after he get accustomed to his
stuff he may have some fun out
of it. And yet some people wonder
why the movies are profitable.

One night l went to a dinner
party at a local jazz palace
(Shangai is dance mad) and to
my amazement noticed a party
of Chinese young men and girls.
accompanied by a chaperone. The
men wore conventional evening
dress and the girls, who were
most attractive, tight little jack
cts of brocades satin and silk in
the most exquisite of colors and
snug-fitting silken trousers,
which revealed dainty ankles and
feet encased in French-heeled
pumps. They were smoking Gig

danced often in the arms of their
partners as naturally as any

marry a man she has never seen
and insists upon choosing her
own husband; her school teachers

in despair when she places a
picture of Douglas Fairbanks on
