THE CATTLE TICK BLUES
Or
MOANS FROM THE PINEY WOODS

Weeds get the corn,
But find old sooky
And grab her by the horn.
Take her to dippin vat
And jump her in,
To satisfy the law
You'll commit sin.
Dip your cattle,
Is all you hear
From the first of January
Till the end of the year.
I dipped on the first
And the fifteenth too,
And on the twenty ninth
I'm a comm through.
Doctor Ramsay is
The Chief, you see,
Away up yonder
In Washington, ID. e.
And all this dippin'
He will try to control,
And you'd better dip cattle
Doggone your soul.
Taint no use
In bucking your dice,
When you meet your dipp1n' boss
You've got to treat him nice.
Here come Barger
Very dignified.
He gives his orders
And he's ready to ride,
And we'll have to dip
Every old cow hide,
In order to keep
Him satisfied.
The chairman of the Board
Is man of dame,
And p. p. Garner
Is the gentleman's name.
He don't talk much
But he does talk right,
And he's bound to get
Every tick in sight.
Somebody was in favor
OF the Middleton Bill,
But that's a secret
SO keep it still.
'Taint no use, the Legislature said,
We're going to dip cows
Till every tick is dead.
The vets come around
And the agents too,
They climb in our pastures,
And ramble through,
And then they'll say,
If it rains or shines,
You must dip them cattle
Or you'll pay fine.
There are two kind of folks
That / can't stan,
A Yankee tick doctor
And the dippin' man.
They cut out my whiskey,
And made me dip too;
Whiskey don't worry me
But the dippin' do.
Preacher in the pulpit,
Bible in his hand,
Tryin' TO get the people
To understand
The path of right
From the path of wrong,
But it amt no use
For to sing this song.
This dippin' is CROWN
From bad to worse
It'll make a deacon tell lies
And preacher curse.
If you dip you cow
And leave your calf,
They'll make you go back
If it's a mile and a half.
If you dip ninety nine
And let one go loose,
They'll put you in the calaboose.
Old Squire Brown
Wouldn't dip his COW,
He got in court
And he's sorry now.
The judge said, ten bucks
And fifteen days.
And the Squire said
He'd change his ways.
Inspector told me, I,
If I'd dip two years
Then he'd set me free.
I've dipped two years
And several more,
And there's an inspector
Standin' at my door.
He's got a dippin' notice
In his hand,
/ wish I'd never seen
A dippin' man.
'Taint no use in your
Singing your song,
Well be here dippin'
Till we're dead and gone.
How do you expect
To ever get through,
If you don't dip the rabbits
And the gophers too.

City Marshal Murray
Investigating Need of
Traffic Officer, Square

Inc city government al its last
meeting referred to the police COM
mittce the matter of establishing a
traffic officer in Post Office Square, and
the police committee has instructed
City Marshal William H. Murray to
investigate the matter. City Marshal
Murray has been taking statistics at
different hours of the day in Post Of
flee Square. On Wednesday in the 20
minutes from 1920 to 1910 A. NJ. ex-
actiy 100 cars PASSED the point where
the city marshal had stationed him
self. On the same day from $50 to
L. NJ. 1000 vehicles of all kinds passed
that point, but Thursday the number
was greatly decreased, and just the
reason is not easily apparent. 1t may
have been that the hot weather had
sent many cars out of town. City Mar
shall Murray does not believe that a
traffic officer is needed in Post Office
Square every hour of the day. Some
citizens have suggested in good faith
that the traffic officer might work
around City hall and cut the grass on
Castonguay Park when not otherwise
engaged, but others have pointed out
that he might as we'll not serve as
traffic officer At all under these circum-
stances. What is believed to be
much better solution appears to be to
make the man appointed for this pur-
pose general traffic officer. give him
a motorcycle and let him do patrol
work in and about the cit" at times
when Post Office Square is not con-
gcsted This proposition seems to many
citizens with WI ON the journal talked
Thursday as Pbout the most sensible
solution of tho question, as it is un-
dcniahly true that at times Post Office
Square is an Extremely dangerous
point for pedestrians and automobile
drivers as well, and a traffic officer is
ICedcd.

st. Johns, n. F., June 8-A meeting
of the New Foundland cabinet was
held tonight to consider the railroad
situation of the Colony. A second
shutdown of railroad and steamship
systems is threatened Monday next
when a compromise arrangement en-
tered into May % between the gov

tonight as to the result of the cabinet
meeting, it was intimated that the
compromise arrangement would be re-
newed until June 80 when the gov
ernment's 12-month guarantee to con-
tribute towards operating deficits on

inmate. After that date. 1t was point
ed out, the Reid New Foundland COM
pany, contractors for the railroad
would be thrown on it's own resources.
Operation of the New Foundland
railway was suspended early last
month when the Reid company noti-
fled it's employees it could not meet
their April wages owing to failure of
the government to provide sums said
to be due under the guarantee. On

agreement expiring June -. The gov
eminent agreed to advance the COM
pany $4,000, the company to return
this loan by paying various items of
revenue into a special account with

ACROSS CONTINENT BY
AUTO IN 81 DAYS

Freeport, June S-From California
to Maine in "a days is the record Of
the Henry Proctor family, who made
this remarkabl trip in two Ford cars
taking along with his entire family.
Mr.. Proctor sold his house here three
years ago and went to California
when work was plenty but for the last
six months conditions have been hard
in that region and it was most i'm
possible to buy job. Discouraged at
the outlook he sold out his belongings
and bought two Ford cars, packed his
family into these and set his face for
the rising sun stopping b the way
side only to sleep in tents and for
meals. he pushed up over the Rocky
Mountains and across the plains, the
scenery had no attractions for him for
he was bound back to Maine which
he reached Monday afternoon after "a
days spent on the road. They are
stopping at the home of Mrs. Proctor's
brother, Alfred Toothaker.

May Probe Dexter Fire

Dexter, June 5.-As the fire, which
recently destroyed the farm buildings
of Victor Clukey on the Harlin road,
is suspected to be of incendary ORR
gin. it is probable that the matter will
be brought to the attention of Sheriff
Orman B. Fernandez and that an
investigation of the circumstances
surrounding the blaze will be made.
Mr. Clukey claims he has been threat
ened on several occasions since NOV
ing to the neighborhood in which his
recently purchased farm buildings
We're located. the threats, according to
him, being made by a person who
seemed to have some strong objections
to his purchase and occupancy of the
farm.
Mr.. Clukey also claims to have
found in the rear of the barn, where
the fire seemed to originate, can
cover with some sort of wick arrange
ment attached. which he feels certain
contained gasoline.

lures plus the payment of interest
on the refunded foreign obligations
would be sufficient to obviate the i'm
position of additional taxation.
IF it does become necessary to
impose taxes" the report continued,
sit is believed we can better deter
mine the amount of the necessary
levy and the methods of distributing
such burdens for the future at
later date when the future condition
OF the treasury will be more accur-
atcly established
AS to the refunded foreign obliga-
tons the hope was expressed that
these soon would be obtained and
"that it Will be possible for the for
cigrf governments to provide for the
immediate payment of interest there
on, SO that such interest can be used
toward defraying the expenses auth
orized under this act"
Senator McCumber explained that
an attempt had been made to reduce
t. a minimum actual cash payments
under the bill during the next three
years while the Treasury is engaged
in refundlng the nearly seven billions
of dollars of maturing government
obligations. The estimated cost OF
the bonus for those three years was
sa42. 900.
After its presentation to the Sen
ate the bonus bill went to the cal
endar where it will remain until
there is an agreement to call it up.
Senator McCumber and some oppo+
nents desire early action but several
Republican leaders are opposed to
sidetracking the tariff bill as they
expect the fight over the bonus to
consume at least a month and per-
haps six weeks.
The most important change from
the original Senate measure is the
elimination Of the cash bonus and
reclamation features. As now draft

form of procedure to give dealers
ample opportunity to comply with
