LICE AND MITES REDUCE EGG
YIELD AND FLOCK’S VITALITY
Poultry parasites are of so many
kinds. Sometimes they multiply until
they kill the fowls on which they
prey. But in the opinion of entomolo-
gists of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture parasites do even
greater injury to the industry by
reducing the vitality, stunting the
growth, and checking the egg yield
of fowls. Lice and mites are the
most frequent and widespread groups
of external parasites, and these two
require entirely different methods of
treatment to rid the fowls of their
attacks, because the two live under
different conditions. The lice exist on
the fowls, and mites live in cracks and
crevices in nests and roosts.
For eradicating lice the Department
of Agriculture recommends applica-
tion of sodium fluoride. It kills all
varieties of lice—body, head and
feather . The chemical may be applied
by dusting or by dipping. Either the
“chemically pure” or the “commer-
cial” grades may be used, but the lat-
ter is cheaper and more easily obtain-
ed. Young chicks require very little
and a pound of powder costing about
50 cents should kill the lice on a flock
of 100 chickens. Dipping the fowls
is still easier and cheaper, but it is
not .wise, to dip fowls, unless the
weather is warm. A single treatment
of every fowl, by either the dusting or
the dipping method, will completely
eradicate all lice from the premises.
For mites the procedure is utterly
different. Mites do not live on the
fowls by day but come out and suck
their fill of blood when thp fowls are
roosting. First the poultry house
must be cleaned thoroughly. Trash,
nesting material, etc., should be taken
out and burned. Then go over the
whole house thoroughly with crude
petroleum or carbolineum using either
a spray pump or brush to apply the
material. Petroleum is cheaper but
the carbolineum gets into the cracks
better and lasts longer. Paint the
roosts and let the petroleum or car-
bolineum work into every crack. The
mite killer should dry before the
chickens go to roost.
PIECES IN CHESS
GAME ARE LIVING
Asuncion, Paraguay, Jan. 2.—A
chess game with living pieces, the
■first ever played in this country, took
place here today in the presence of
30,000 persons, including government
officials and diplomats.
The chess pieces were beautiful,
young senoritas, moving on a chess
board 12 feet by twelve. They were
dressed in rich costumes, appropriate
to their chess characters, and design-
ed to emphasize their beauty.

FORD CAR STOLEN ON THIRD
STREET THURSDAY NIGHT
A 1924 model Ford touring car
was stolen in Lampasas Thursday
evening, Dec. 29, from in front of the
Key Bros. Grocery Store. The car
belongs to Virgil Traweek who lives
near Lake Victor. Mr. Traweek
parked his car in the early part of
the evening and went to the picture
show, and when he came out of the
show the car was gone. He imme-
diately reported the theft to City
Marshal Craft and investigation was
made, but no trace could be found of
the missing automobile until about
2:30 o’clock Friday afternoon when
W. R. Patterson came in from out to-
ward Ogle, on his way into Lampasas,
and reported that he had passed a
car, which he thought was the stolen
car. Authorities went out immediate-
ly and found that it was Traweek’s
car but that it had been stripped of
most all its parts, including tires,
hood, seats, etc., leaving only the
engine, body and top.
No information was learned of the
whereabouts of the thieves.
OKLAHOMA IMPEACHMENT
CHARGES DISMISSED
Oklahoma City, Okla., Dec. 29.—
Oklahoma’s political insurrection to-
night had reached an unsuccessful end
after raging for nearly a month, with
the removal of Gov. Johnston and at
least two other state officers as the
objective.
With dramatic suddenness the state
senate, which itself had been seated
as an insurrectionary, brought im-
peachement activities to a close to-
day by the dismissal of charges voted
against Governor Johnston, Chief
Justice Branson of the state supreme
court and President Cordell of the
state board of agriculture.
No Authority to Convene.
Meeting in a downtown hotel., to
which they retreated yesterday after
they had been repulsed at the doors
of their capitol chamber by national
guardsmen under direction of the
governor, the senators by vote declar-
ed that the house of representatives
had no authority to convene itself and
vote the impeachment charges.
Members in both houses, who had
persisted in meeting despite the un-
favorable attitude of the state courts,
abandoned their activities abruptly
after the senate’s decision and began
immediately to depart for their homes,
unpaid for their .efforts and their ex-
penses.
CORPUS CHRISTI NEWS
BULLETIN
Corpus Christi, Tex., Dec. 30.-
Gutzon Borglum, internationally fam-
ous sculptor, is planning a thirty-two
foot statue of Christ which, when
completed, will be erected in Corpus
Christi Bay, a short distance beyond
the breakwater. The erection of thi
statue will be a part of the Corpus
Christi bay front beautification pro-
gram now in progress.
Borglum stated that the feet o
the colossal figure would be only
few inches above the changing tide
so that this statue of Christ woul
seem to be walking upon the wate
and that his hand would be upraise
quieting the storm.
According to Borglum’s conceptioi
all thought of suffering and sacrific
will be kept out of the interpretatio"
It is to be a conception of Christ, th
man, the Christ who walked upon t‘
water and quieted the waves.
The statue will be of bronze a~
will be so anchored that it will resi
the action of the sea and it will
plainly visible from any portion
the city of Corpus Christi. It
planned to illuminate the statue
night. Borglum declared that in h
opinion the effect would be mo
striking at sunrise or when tl
waves were breaking about the fi
ure.
Mrs. Lorine Jones Spoonts, pref
dent of the chamber of commerce a
chairman of the bay front impro
ment committee, stated that Borgl
would submit sketches, models a
photographs of the proposed bay fr
improvement program to the Corp
Christi city council in the near fut
and that a model of the propo
statue of Christ may be among’
exhibits.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hallmark and
two children returned Saturday morn-
ing to their home at Beaumont, aftei
