Viking Sword and Armor
Found in North Ontario

TORONTO.-A Viking sword and
armor, unearthed in northern On
tario, may prove once and for all
that Norsemen took themselves far
inland on American soil 500 years
before Columbus
The important relics, unearthed
at mining claim near Beardmore,
have been deposited here at the
Royal Ontario museum.
Director of antiquities, DR.. G. T.
Currelly, has submitted pictures
of the war gear to authorities on
Morse archaeology in Europe, and is
assured by all that the relics are
the sort of fighting equipment. used
from $50 to 1000 A. D. The diseov-
cries consist of a sword, battle
axe, shield handle and pieces of
rusty armor.
The Geographical Journal, British
scientific publication, comments
that the Morse armor find, if ac-
copied as authentic history, tends
to support the view that Vinland
was not in Massachusetts, but far
ther north, and that Norsemen who
explored the interior of America
would have journeyed from Green
land south to Hudson strait and
across Hudson bay and then toward
the Great Lakes.

Destroy Dog Ticks
And Help Control
Spotted Fever

WASHINGTON. Methods for
fighting dog ticks, feared as car
riers of deadly Rocky mountain
spotted fever in the eastern and
central portions of the United
States, have just been published
by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture here. The
tick control measures are based
on studies by F. C. Bishop and
Carroll N. Smith of the depart
ment's bureau of entomology
and plant quarantine.
In regions where both small and
large wild animals on which ticks
may engorge are abundant, tick
control appears almost impossible
at present, although the government
scientists are hopeful of finding
some practical method of meeting
the situation,
In areas where large wild animals
are few, control of ticks is simpler
and depends largely on treatment
of dogs in the vicinity on which
ticks can engorge.. Derris used
either as a powder or a wash is
effective in destroying ticks al
ready attached to the dogs, and it
also will keep the ticks off the dogs
for short periods.
How to Apply Derris.
1t is easier to use the insecticide
as a powder but the dogs will be
more thoroughly covered if it is
used as a wash or dip, and the
derris stays on the animals hair
and skin longer when applied as a
wash. Derris is more effective
against fiat or slightly engorged
ticks than against the fully en-
gorged females, SO to prevent re-
production of ticks treatment should
be given before the tick has sucked
her fill of the dogs blood
Derris powder should be used ev-
cry two or three days, and the wash
or dip should be given every five
or six days. The derris powder
should have a rotenone content OF
at least 2 per cent. An effective
wash can be made by dissolving an
ounce of soap in gallon of
water and adding two to four ounces
of derris powder with rotenone
content of per cent.
Besides dipping or poWdering
dogs, underground should be cleared
away and grass kept closely cut
near houses, camps and other
places frequented by humans. High
boots and other clothing calculated
to exclude ticks should be worn
when it is necessary to go through
| tick-infested area.
A sharp watch should be KEEP
and the body examined frequently
in order to find and remove tick!
before they have become attached
for long, if at all.
Picking the ticks off with bar,
fingers, or squashing them between
the fingers to kill them is dan
gerous practice. II any Rock,
Mountain spotted fever virus is il

ding the ticks might give 1t ;

LIST PUBLISHED

In the issue of The Citizen of
yesterday, July 10, appeared the
tax delinquent list for Monroe
county, as published on order of
Tax Collector Frank H. Laid.
It was suggeted by an official
of the county that it would be
advisable for the property owners
of Monroe county to glance over
the advertised LIST as there. are a
number OF pieces of property
listed. the owners of which may
not be cognizant that there are
tax charges against them.
The suggestion was made to
possibly some property owner
who may have overlooked the
fact that there is a two mill tax
against all property in the county
and unless this tax, and other
taxes, are paid by August Z. the
property win be sold.
