The present pantathlon records
and holders are as follows: Broad
jump, Sol Butler, Dubuque, 22 feet
11A inches; 200 meters, Howard Ber-
ny. Penn, % 2-5 seconds; discus, Bob
LeGendre, Georgetown, 126 feet 8
Inches; javeiin, w. Bartels. Penn,
168 feet IL inches and 1900 meters,
Howard Berry, Penn minutes
20 2-5 seconds.
Last year LeGendre won four first
places and was sixth In the javelin,
throwing the spear $50 feet y inch.
His performance in the Penn State
Georgetown meet when he heaved
the javelin III feet inches argues
that Barters record will go by the
boards.
Legendre ran the zoo meters in
% 3-5 last year, and on his records
indoors and out this season Will
come near breaking Berry's mark
which has existed since 1915. In ad.
dition LeGendre's oroad jump on
Wednesday was within one-fourth of
an inch of Buffers record.
Since the pentathlon last year
LeGendre has broken his own
record In the javelin and set
new South Atlantic mark In the
discus event as well. It looks
as though he is capable OF break
Ing at least two pentathlon, IL not
three this year, and there Is every
indication that he VIII be gr0omed
especially TO do this as IL Is his
last crack at the title.
There is little doubt that barring
accidents the Georgetown man viii
be able to establish new marks in
the pentathlon, and IL conditions
are right ne may make the greatest
individual record in history.
LeGendre is In superb condition
right now and with the big test just
three weeks off will show at his
best. In all departments the Maine
lad has improved to the point where
he is almost unbeatable.
When 1t is considered that Le-
Gendre has won in running events,
from the fifty-yard dash to the 1900
meters and has been bettering his
marks in the field events as well,
there is little question but that he
is the athletic, marvel of the day.

as the best athlete he had ever seen.

In athletics is not running and jump

QUARANTINE ON
 CATTLE HELD UP
W. A. Mcdonald. Inspector for U. s' Dept. of Agriculture, Will Give Polk County Time to See if Funds
 Can Be Provided for Work

Reply to a letter from Fred j. Smith, secretary of the Mena Com mercial Club, pleading that the quar- antine on all cattle, horses, muies' ete.. be- not placed on Polk county ui- tiI an opportunity be given 70 stock men and others to secure 1uhos to conplete the tick eradication work has been received and IS consiaereu favorable.
 W. A. McDonald, acting inspector in charge of tick eradication in AT kansas, writes Secretary smith, m part, as follows: A
 sir:--With reference to your let- ter of January 4th relative to the position of Polk county with regard to tick eradication and suggesting that re-quarantine of the county be stayed a week or ten days, pending the arrangements of financial aid for carrying on the work in that county, you are advised that we will recommend to the department that this section be withheld tenn porarily, until it is ascertained whether or not the necessary funds to aid in completing the work have been raised.
 As Mir. Hand has been trans-- ferred from that county to Yell county, it will be necessary to as- sign some one else to supervise the work in that county if arrange ments are made to continue the work. For this reason would like to urge that action be taken at once in order that we may arrange for a supervisor for the county.
 It is hoped by both the Federal and State Departments that ar- arrangements will be made by the county to aid in completing the work inasmuci as there is but very little infestation remaining Tn the county at this time.
 However, if the infestation that still remains is not controlled, 1t would only be very short time un- til this infestation spread over the entire county. which would make it necessary to dip all cattle in the county regularly every ii days.
 The Star is informed that two of our leading cattlemen, each with much fi-e stock, are planning to get all ir cattle into Oklahoma ahead of u quarantine if they see the tick eradication work is not to be com pleted.
 It is purely and simply matter of providing $1200 for the work dur ing the year 1922.
