Three good pictures of Maj,
Anthony j. Drexel Biddle,
Philadelphia fighting Bibl.
class leader, in action.
The largest shows him
! in exercise togs. In the ring
he is, at the right,
boxing a heavyweight
and giving
him a 'good fight" The
other photograph shows tn
Major before his class.
HEN EN-" such n.ssa' name n;s,,s as Major + An
toned one is inclined to think at
once Of Philadelphia and of Philadelphia
society Or, perhaps one would be more
inclined to think of boxing and horse racing
and the Marine Corps in France. Major
Drexel Biddle is representative of one
Of the oldest, best known and most socially
prominent families in America. He is a
sportsman. He is a millionaire. He is a
veteran of the world war.
1t may be that the function which he
serves most wholeheartedly is entirely in
congruous and incompatible with the at
tributes mentioned. But as astonishing as
1t may seem, it is true that nothing is. Of
greater interest to Major Drexel Biddle
than his Bible classes.
Another scion of wealth and high posi-
tion is somewhat OF parallel case. John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., is also the head of a
Bible class. But this prerogative as as
sumed by the son of the worlds richest
man does not suggest itself so outstand-
ingly as justification for amazement as
does the long standing, but not generally
known, tendency Of the Philadelphia so
ciety leader to take a most active interest
in religious work.
Here is a man who is one OF the fore
most amateur boxers of the country. He
said once that boxing was the only thing
he knew how to do really WELL That
which was lament--was said when he be-
gan the undertaking of organizing the first
Of his Bible classes. But anyhow he put
that one talent of his to work, with the
result that his Bible class grew amazingly.
Genius and Personality
Responsible for Growth
The story of the inception OF the Drexel
Biddle Bible classes is nothing less than a
story in praise Of Major Anthony J. Drexel
Biddle. Let him say, II he likes that II
was not his genius and personality which
made a countrywide organization from an
original membership of three rather pa
tient but unenthusiastic men who COM
prised the class which Major Drexel Biddle
took charge OF one Sunday no more than
few years ago.
The story begins on Sunday morning
another Sunday morning-several years
ago. Young A. J. Drexel Biddle, blue
ribbon favorite in Philadelphia's blue
blooded Social Register set, strolled about
Rittenhouse Square that Sunday morning
and medtated lie was wealthy the world

tian religion. 1t was determined to turn
the Drexel playground at Lansdowne into
an armed camp The Government backed
the movement. Drillmasters from the
Regular Army were provided by the Gov.
ernment.
One OF the most enthusiastic rockies"
was Mr.. Drexel Biddle himself. He had
had some training as member of the Ma
tional Guard, but he enlisted as private
in his own regiment and endured all the
drudgery of the drill with the rest A.
committee of wealthy men assumed most
Of the burden OF expense and many of the
leading employers of labor lined up their
men for preparedness, permitting them to
take days off for drill and providing them
with equipment.
AS result. when war actually came the
Philadelphia Military Training Corps, as
this field OF Major Biddle's activities was
called, was able to put 10000 trained men
into the various branches OF the service,
almost every man going in with the rank
OF non-com by reason of the splendid
training given them at the Drexel camp.
When peace came and Major Biddle left
the service and became a civilian again

 TICK ERADICATION SUPERVI- SOR VISITS POLK COUNTY

Fred c. Driver, travelling supervi- sor of the Federal tick eradication force, of Little Rock, visited Polk county Monday He states that a supervisor for the tick eradication work in Polk county will be assigned and transferred to Mena soon. That the people had done their county a great service in deciding to cooperate with the Federal and state depart ments, by continuing the work and eradicate the remaining ticks, where as If they had permitted the work to lapse, the county would very likely have become reinfested from the few remaining ticks in the county and the infested counties adjacent to it, and by 1t being quarantined would have stopped the free movement of cattle, and when taking up the work again 1t would necessitate all of the people to dip all of their cattle regularly for a season, therby costing the county several thousands more dollars to con- duct the work to say nothing of the vast amount of loss thru added labor.
 Some other states, notably Okla homa and Missouri, are putting regu- lations into effect that prevent the movement of cattle, horses, mules or asses, into or thru their state from a quarantined area or county due to the fact that ticks have been scattered in the free area by wrecks, unloading infested cattle in clean pens and bv ticks dropping off of the cattle in cars while en route, thereby cutting the cattle off from the markets even for immediate slaughter.
 Polk county has labored under a disadvantage due to being so nearly surrounded by tick infested counties and cattle drifting across the line 1 However, part of these counties will dip this year and it is hoped the oth- CTS will dip next year.
 There were 39 infested herds under quarantine at the end of last season which shows that there are compara- lively very few ticks in the county lt will be necessary to dip all ticltv cattle and cattle that run with or near tlcky cattle every two weeks durinp i the season. It will require the serv- ices of twa local inspectors besides the county supervisor.
 In reply to the question as to how long t would take to complete the work Dr. Driver stated that the suc- cess or tinie when it would not be necessary to dip any more in com munities where cattle were infested or exposed, depended upon the cooper ation of the people. That when the people dipped their cattle regularly. saw that their neighbors did. and as- sisted II preventing the unlawful l driving or allowing to drift cattle into this county from an infested county. ticks would not last very long.
 In reference to dipping every 2S days instead of every IA days. Dr. Driver said that tick eradication was based on the life cycle of the tick, and that during the warm months cattle ticks would reproduce in about 15 or l6 days and therefore it was neees- sary to dip every 1s days That some ticks would mature, lay eggs and hatch under the 2s day method. and they never could be eradicated by that method.
 The idea of cattle tick eradication Has to dip cattle often enough fregu- larly evssry iz days) to keen ticks Iron maturing, dropping of and lAv-

 Gentlemen:-En Enclosed please find 50 cents stamps. Please extend W Abbott's time, same address. Am so I enjoy reading The Star myself but get somewhat disgusted when l see how short-sighted some people are. The sooner they grasp the idea that cows and stock will prove the salvation for that country, the bet ter it will be. When I was a boy in Southern Wisconsin we had money once a year, when we sold our wheat, and everyone was poor. They began to get in stock and start creameries and now everyone is OK, good farms, buildings, etc.
 When l see that the quarantine was to be enforced on account of lack of an appropriation, wondered how much $1200 would mean as tax on each 40 acres of Polk county. I have no way of knowing, but it seems to me it could not be much. And l am willing to send check for $5 as my share towards dipping the cattle if it will be accepted.
 have a little interest in that coun- try. have a father-in-law and sister in-law near Hatfield, and want to see that country turn out as we'll as it can. And only the hearty cooperation of all will do the business.
