WASHINGTON, June 14.—Efforts to

form favoring a law prohibiting Federal
Judges from leaving the bench to ac-

the Presidept had sent word to St.

But if you want to know the real rea-

he was carrying some letters from us
right next to his heart I Don’t be scan’-

merely some we’d written to somebody
else and had sent to him asking him to
address them correctly, since he knew
the address and we didn’t, we thought,
and he just thrust them right down—
or up—4n his pocket and .carried them
clear to El Paso and over to Juarez and motto, “America First," in bold
everywhere, and then sent ’em back to letters,
us a week later, whep he got home,
with the cheerful information that
there wasn’t any such person in Fannin
county. As it really was, several Mexi-
cans fired shots at Mr. Lowry, and
some of them would have taken effect,

LONDON, June 14.—Petrograd reports
continue to announce the steady onward
drive of the Russians in Volhynia and
Galicia and some say that the Austrian
retreat before the Russian drive is al-
most in the nature of a flight. Petrograd
officially announces that the total cap-
tures up to the 13th were 114,700 Aus-
trian and German men and officers and
that enormous booty has also been tak-
en, the Austrians abandoning supplies
in their flight without effort to destroy
them. Reports of the Russian occupa-
tion of Czernowitz continue, but without
official confirmation, and today's dis-
patches indicate that the Russians are
only i nthe environs of the Bukowina
capital so far except possibly for eaval-
| ry advances.

ty, and no doubt the proper thing to do
now is for the’ cattle men to build vats
and encourage the dipping of eattle.
The cattle men claim that thousands of
dollars worth of cattle are lost every
year caused by the tick, in this coun-
ty. We do not believe that the voters
of Denton county will ever vote the
proposition. Some think that the pro-
position might have carried had it not
been that the taxes for last year were
sb high, and no prospect for a decrease
this year. This might have had some- .
thing to do with it, but if the tick
should be eradicated and the commis-
sioners’ court cannot assist in the
work, then the cattle men should do
the next best thing. We learn that in
some parts of the county some vats
hqve already been built and dipping has
already begun.
Our own suggestion is that Denton
county cattlemen and others interested
follow the example of Montague coun-
ty, where the cleaning up of ticks is
being done without expense to the tax-,
payers. It takes more time for the coun-
ty to' be moved above the quarantine
line, and it isn’t exactly the right prin-
ciple. But it is better than making no
effort at all and it will result ultimate-
ly in ridding the county of the fever
ticks.
