" ~ ' ' ? -4 About nine tenths of the men you meet are more like Judas than anybody else. o Never underestimate trifles for even as small a thing as a bed bug j has been known to put the joys of a j honeymoon to utter rout. Talk to a man about his successes, not about his failures this will make[ hiir think of you pleasantly instead of with a frown. ^ All laws and authorities placed in office by the laws should aim always at equal and just treatment of every body by enforcing the laws uniformly. o Just because your own ideals may be high is no reason to believe tha4 j those of all other men and women are the same. a The safest rule is to place an ac-' tion where it belongs rather than try to justify it because others have done the same thing and claimed it was right. o There are some acts from the shame of which a man would run further and faster than he would # . j i ?. - . . irom tne severest penalty of the law. The worst punishment in this world are the stings of a man's own conscience when the subject knows that the world is looking on while conscience applies the lash. Some men are too independent and stuffed up with pride to have it said that they are tied t0 a wife's apron strings; and yet they are tied hard and fast to things that would put a dog to shame if the ties wore hut known. I The smartest discovery ever made j has appeared to be very simple after it was generally understood. Therefore no matter how great your dis coveries, prepare to get less credit from them later on than you would naturally expect. o Up to about two months ago Germany thought that she was only getting ready to put the allies entirely and forever out of business; but it appears now that the allies were only preparing a grindstone for Germany's nose. o NEWS FROM BAY.

K." % ? r?a CAN BE TICK FREE IN FIVE MORE YEARS (Continued from page One.) local cooperation, will result in tick eradication from Texas and the freeing, thcrfore, of all United States territory from the pest. As a result of extermination of thi cattle tick from approximately 285,000 square miles in the 10 years dur- j ing which the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the States have been actively engaged in the work, the cattle industry, according to the Bureau of Animal Industry, in the South has improved from 50 to 100 per cent. Native beef cattle, freed from attacks of the ticks, have put on more flesh, native dairy cows are giving more milk; and, because danger of disease largely has been eliminated, I cattle of better breeds have been brought into improve the native | stock. The South has made great I er progress in developing the cattle; industry in the last 5 years than in the preceding 50 years, and there has been more progress in the industry! in the South in that period than in any other section. The States and counties, railways' and other corporations, and business men of the South have been active in emphasizing the great importance of I tick eradication and in spreading in-' tercst and information among farmers and cattlemen. As a result of tin operation of all these forces, the wori, of tick eradication practically has, been half completed. On July 1, 1910, there had been freed from ticks 284,521 square miles of the original quarantined area of 728,545 square miles. It is | estimated that by next December 160,000 additional square miles will be freed, bringing the total tick-free i territory to 344,521 square miles.

THE HOKRY H3 EARLY WAR FAKES COVERED TRUTH Majority of Claims Made Now Known to Have Been False The censor is to be blamed, no doubt, when the greatest cataclysm broke out the censor stepped in and said, "You must not tell the truth." Had the truth been available there would have been no need to lie writes G. V. S. in The Philadelphia Evening Ledger. What actually took place in the first days of the great war was too terrible, too wonderful to need embellishment. But the truth "Verboten" by a system more autocratic than that of the militarist, the fakes began to come. With the truth or falsehood of the causes of the war and of the astrocitics which did or did not accompany tho opening months, this article has nothing to do. The simple reason is that the truth is still not known: But other things which were not known in August and September of 1914 arc clear now. Ar.d what the world thought and believed then is funny today. It ought to bo a warning tc military experts. It probably will bo nothing of the sort. First there was the heroic resistance of Belgium. Of its heroism there is no doubt. It is not the sort of thing about which those who sit in easy chairs and know not the smell of burning households nor the sight of stricken men and women are privileged to jest. But its effectiveness was woefully overrated, and military experts, with this or that qualification to give them authority, spoke of the 10-day battle for the fortress of Liege, which was lying devastated far behind the German advance when those very words were written. "Belgium has saved France" was a watch j word precisely at the time when Fiance retreating, carefully but inevitably, far in her own land. The river Sambre in Belgium and , the River Somme, in France, sounded! sufficiently alike to be confused, For! many days the French war reports spoke briefly of fighting on the Sambre. Suddenly the name Somme was substituted and the terrified world realized that Germany had thrown her armies into the heart of France while they were supposed to be in Belgium. Then came the greatest day of all. Simeon Strunsky has referred to it as that gloriouss afternoon, "seven columns wide," when Von Kluck apologized to Jolfre, begged to be allowed! to retreat safe to Germany under promise never to invade France again. The head-writer on a New V* 1. A- ? 111 , 1 I i ui k jjtijjfi" musk nave cnoiteu wiin emotion when he wrote those sevencalumn lines. He must have choked with a different emotion when the news came that Von Kluck, though thrown back, had djoined the other German armies on the Aisne. Five days after the war broke out there occurred the greatest naval battle of all history. A generous correspondent gave Germany 19 dreadnoughts, and then, wtih little care of the consequences, with no attention even to the amount of white space which would be wasted on it, sank every single one of them. And then the most momentous fake of all, a fake which like some others merely anticipated the truth. That is the Russians who passed through | Scotland to join their allies on the ! western front. The amount of "eyej witness stuff" which came to this country on this incredible story is astonishing. Scots in the highlands or thereabouts and fishermen on the Uroton coast saw the Cossacks. Observers near London saw the closed I ears which bore them. In France i there were those who spoke with I them and received a reply in a barbaric language. And by all that is j singular, in spit of all those accounts V the Russians never got there. It was an outrage against the credibility and honor of the universe, but it coudn't be helped. More than a year later troops landed in thousands, and with pomp and circumstance, at Marsieli les. The first French soldier killed in the war was named Peugeot. The report came over that the great aviator of the same name had fallen. Re. fore the war was well started Garros had engaged two Zeppelins and brought them down. Garros himself laughed at the story in his apartment in Paris. Fritz Kreislcr was killed before he was wounded. Max Under read the report of his own death in V , BRA LP, OONWAY, 8. O. I\iris. The Crown Prince was killed 17 times. The Kaiser appeared incognito in Paris. The Kaiser ordered his dinner simultaneously in Warsaw and in Paris and in Calais. Von Kiuck committed suicide. A French general was shot as a traitor until JoiTrc told exactly with what regi1 ment he was stationed. Among the fakes which were not fakes should be mentioned some of the newspaper stories. The great taxicab army of Gallieni was not 30,000 strong, but probably 8,000 for there were only 2,000 chaffeurs left in Paris when Manoury was in need of men. That was exaggeration. It also came true in the motor defense of Verdun a year and more later. And the famous story of the battle of "!> pros, which endeared America to 1 England because an American wrot3 It and gave much?far too much? credit to the Englishmen, was written for information gained in London bars. But it did not purport to be j an eye witness account ar.d its spirit I is not all facts, was true. The niilitary strategy exposed for daily reading in American papers was not faking. Every word of it was reasoning from premises which no one could guarantee. Even today, when we arc probably in the midst of the great i allied drive, we cannot speculate on it without reservations. For it may bo j | that our reports are not so trustworthy as they seem. They may bo as wild and fantastic as the greatest | story of all in the eaily days of the war?The Angels of Mons. That is good enough to warrant special attention. We didn't believe those things even when wo read them, but wo liked t read them. Behind thc.n was a tragedy we could not fathom, a misery wo | could not bear to think on st ?add ly We sheltered our souls behind smaller things; they were trenches of frivol1 ity thrown up where there should have been a fortress of faith. In the end the trenches proved the stronger defense, for we have not all gone mad. Wre have been saved from madness by humor.
