WARD ONE MADE "TICK
FREE" TERRITORY.

At the regular meeting Of the
Grant parish police jury last
Monday an ordinance was passed

ordinance bars any cattle, horses
or mules infested with ticks from
running at large or in pastures
in that part Of ward one within
the boundaries fixed.
The ordinance as passed not
only bars ticky cattle from rum

effect Of prohibiting cattle from
being driven into the free terri
tory from an infested territory
without being freed from ticks.
The proceedings of the police
jury containing this ordinance

Reflect Ogden L. Mills.
Record in Congress of the Member
From the Seventeenth District

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
whole country will be Indebted to the
voters of the Seventeenth Congress dis
trict If they reflect Ogden L. Mills. who
now represents the district. In his term
in Congress, now near its end, he has
given further evidence of his excep-
tional abilities as a statesman. These
were already shown in his service in
the New York State Senate.
In the State Senate Mr.. Mills made
among other things remarkable con-
tribution to our knowledge OF taxation
and paved the way for the State income
tax law. Without this legislation the
State finances would have been in Q
desperate situation.
In Congress Mr.. Mills was one OF very
few who came forward with construc-
tive propositions Cor the revision OF
Federal taxation. He made his influ-
ence felt in favor Of changes in the
United States laws which will doubtless
be made In the new session of Congress.
Mr. Mills's presence as a member OF
that body Is important and it lies with
the voters of the Seventeenth district TO
see that he is reelected. 1t Is well
worth their while to make, each OF them,
some personal effort to roll up a large
vote for him. M
The district lies on both sides OF Cen
trail Park and of Fifth avenue from
Ninety-ninth street down to Fourteenth
street. CHARLES E. MANIERRE.

Eighteenth street in 1858 to the old
public school No l3, where No. IL now
stands. In Seventeenth street near
Eighth avenue We had DR.. Asa Smith.

large telescope in the school and some
Of the boys were given a look through
1t to see the sun AMI other sights.
The principal had but one eye. but he
could see too much for US boys at that.
Alouzo Hopner. afterward principal,

gers one day and / was much surprised
to hear the boy ! was with tell Mrs.
Smith that the principal had asked TO
have an extra piece OF pie sent. She
was delighted to think his appetite was
so good. though had not heard him
ask for the pie.
On our way back the boy opened the
basket and took out the extra pie and
offered me part of It. | expected later
to have bad results follow but we were
not permitted to go again for Mr..
Smiths dinna-.
We had n bright pupil. Augustus
Pitou. who was prominent in theatricals
later. He was asked to recitc> Mark
Antony's speech over Cesar's body and
he did It so well that Mr.. Solomon. one
OF the trustees, sitting on the platform,
called him up and gave him $40 gold
piece. which created a pleasant sensa-
tion through the school.
We had an interesting lecture on
chemistry every Friday from 2 TO 3.

Signs of a Hard Winter.
A Provident ChipEiunk, Hickory Nuts
and the Farmers Rubber Boots.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Every
native son OF the Nutmeg State, mean
ing Of course Connecticut, knows that
Winsted has placed herself on the map
as the peer of all towns when 1t comes
right down to queer and unusual things
in nature. But she has rivals.
Only the other day a farmer in the
Land OF Nod-that's out Ridgefield way
on a dirt road-had an experience that
may be worth noting. He had piled half
bushel of hickory nuts, still in their
outside wraps, on the kitchen floor TO
dry out. The next week he found the
nuts had disappeared. only the shucks
remaining to show that somebody had
been there and made cleanup.
In moving a pair of rubber boots,
made ready for the SHOWS that VIII soon
clothe the Tidgeheld hills. the farmers
wife found them half full of nice clean
hickory nuts.
An industrious and provident chip
munk had shelled the nuts and cached
them against the hard times ahead.

ought to have half for shelling on

Italy Scraps a Treaty.

Italy, according to an official an
nouncement at Rome, has repudiated
her treaty with Greece regarding
the Dodecanesian group of Egean
islands. BY this agreement, made in
August, 1920, Italy was to recognize
Greece's title to all of these islands
with the exception of Rhodes, and
this island she was to trangfer to
Greece when CIR Britain placed
Cyprus under Cree. control. At the
same time Greece was not to dispute
Italy's right TO specified Asia Minor
territory which Italy has since occu-
pied and to which she has recently
strengthened her right through con-
cessions made to her by KEMAL's
Angora Government.
The treaty was one of the achieve
ments of VENIzELos's diplomacy. 1t
was received with much satisfaction
by the Greeks. not on account Of the
military or commercial advantages il
brought but because It added to the
Hellenic kingdom a people of ancient
Greek origin and islands which
played an important part in early
Grecian history. The only gain OF
real military importance which T.
brought Greece was the fine harbor
of the little island Of Astypalea and
its great defensive works.
Rhodes has a highly fertile and
productive soil and IL has a consid-
cradle commerce with the Levantine
countries. Most of the other islands
are small and their natural resources
negligible. The people of the Dode-
canese are widely known for their
skill as sailors and sponge fishers.
In fact. the sponge trade of the east
ern Mediterranean was largely in
their hands before the islands we're
seized by the Italians. They have TO
a great extent ruled themselves. This
was true even after they came under
the rule Of the Turks. They had n
sort Of assembly made up OF repre-
sentatives of the twelve islands which
met once year at one Of their
larger towns.
There is scarcely one of the islands
which is not rich in historical ascot
alton. Rhodes was ruled at one time
by ALEXANDER the Great. It was fam
Gus in ancient Greece for its com
merce, its navy and the Colossus Of
Rhodes, which ornsmented its harbor.
In the Crusades IL was the eastern
seat Of the Knights of ST. John, aud

Fake Public Health Nurses.
BY Posing as State Employees They
Are Trying to Sell Books.
From Health Ntws.

IRON HeuVh NtUS.
Last autumn one of the Rochester
: ~ papers gave an account of a
number Of women who were selling
medical books In the rural districts of
Steuben county. The impression was
given that they We're connected with the
State Department of Health. The mat
Ter was taken up by the department and
the Rochester editor promptly invests
gated the story sent in by hts corrc-
srondent and published a correction,
making 1t clear that such book agents
were not in the service Of the State De-
partment of Health.
Since that time we have received
several reports of book agents in rural
districts posing as State nurses. They
are known also TO be operating In New
York city.
II appears that there are least two
hooks being offered for sale throughout
the State by agents who are instructed
not to admit their true occuration but
TO gain admittance and hearing under
the claim that they are teaching health
in the home When sufficient interest
has been developed in the subject or
leeping well the book is o'Nered for
purchase. onc of these books is issued
in two volumes and sells for SIS cast,
or $50 on time.
The department asks the cooperation
of the public I'm promptly reporting in
stances of book agents posing as state
nurses. - -

preme Court of the United States in
deciding the Scotia case in 1871, "can

A Great Administrator.

In the last days of it's recent ses-
sion Congress conferred upon the
President the power of revising tariff
rates by executive action, and in this
UNNECESSARILY important matter Pres
ident HARpING has got down to bust
ness with the celebrity and decision
which from the very beginning of
his term have marked him as great
administrator. His first step has
been to organize his tariff working
force, going at this great undertaking
as business man goes at his un-
dertakings.
The United States Tariff Commits
sion hitherto has been more ornamen-
tai and useless than practical and
effective part of the machinery OF ma
tional government. But President
HARDING puts the breath OF life into
the commission, clothes it with au-
thority to begin scientific tariff max
ing and sets it to work.
1t is the President himself who
must revise the tariff rates where 1t
is found that they are wrong, but
with the multitude OF exacting duties
pressing upon him all the time it
would be impossible for him to look
far into even a few of the many In
dustries and the varying conditions
| of these industries covered by the
thousands of schedules in the Ford
ney McCumber law. This work OF
getting the facts is big work which
only trained and competent agents
could go through with thoroughly and
properly by giving all their time and
energies to it.
When the President has the facts,
not from selfish or tricky advocates
with axes to grind but from his own
representatives charged with the duty
of getting for him only the truth, he
can make his decision as to whether
a rate under criticism and investiga-
tion should go down, or go up or
stand still.
And the best proof that President
HARDING can get results in his scien-
tific tariff making and get them
quickly is the way he got results
with his budget making. with his re-
| organization of the Federal depart
ments, with chopping public expen-
ditures and saving the taxpayers
money, with the international confer
ence for the limitation of ornaments
and with his general program of put
ting the whole United States Govern
ment, in its affairs at home and its
affairs abroad, on n business basis
and keeping it on a business basis.
This is the record Of II great adj
ministrator who, going about his re-
| sponsibilities and labors. gets things
done without fuss or feathers. as he
will achieve results at sounder and
safer tariff making.

A Bee Worth $500.

There used to be a joke about a
city girl who said she was going to
move to the country and keep a COW
and bee. Keeping bee isn't a
joke now. The other. day man in
North Dakota sold half interest in
one bee to an apiarist in Alabama
for $3.50. The bee-of course it is a
queen-has been shipped to the South
ern home Of her new half owner. She
will spend the winter there, return
ing to North Dakota in the spring.
Bees are not naturally given to
winter work, but queens do not scorn
to lay eggs all the year round. A
queen may not fill three or four thou
sand cells a day in the cold months,
as she does in the spring and sum-
ner, but the Southern bee man prob
ably will get between now and April
all the bees of the new breed that
he needs for stock. Meanwhile the
queen will be treated royalty. The at
tention she receives from her owners
will be nothing compared with that
which will be forthcoming from her
ten or twenty thousand workers.
They will assign dozen maids, cham
bermaids and ladies in waiting to
their sovereign and she will have
nothing to do but lay eggs.
Not that the life of queen bee is
all pleasure. When the Matching is
about to begin and the queen tries to
make a joyous round of the cells to
kill all the prospective queens she is
gently shouldered away by the work
ers. They help her in every way TO
increase the life of the tribe but they
will not let her Stay posterity.
A queen lasts only three or four
years, but she keeps everlastingly at
her job; so perhaps $500 is not too
much value to set upon her. Nobody
would give a nickel for drone, for
there is only one drone in thou
sand that is worth anything at all
and when his value is discovered he
is dead.
