What do you want me to exchange?"
"I'll give you an order for two tickets

JEFFERSON LIFE INSURANCE CO.
HOME OFFICE, OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA.
483.000 CATTLE ARE
DIPPED IN YEAR
Eradication of Tick May Be Accom-
plished Soon, Says Buyer.
On a report of G. T. Bryan, super-
intendent of the live stock depart-
ment of the state, given out recently,
the statement is made that during the
last two years the live stock depart-
ment, with the assistance of the fed-
eral inspectors has supervised
the dipping of 483,000 cattle
shipped from below the federal
quarantine line in Texas to points in
Oklahoma. In the report, Mr. Bryan
also says that the department has
found that the arsenical dip for cat-
tle Is found to be less expensive and
not so injurious to cattle as the crude
oil dip at first provided for.
Mr. Bryan, in his report, deals with
the eradication of the cattle tick, and
says that with the assistance of the
farmers and cattle men, the final erad-
ication can be accomplished. This, he
says, they will do if they are assured
that an effective dip can be used at a
minimum cost, and at the same time
carry no 111 effects to the cattle.
"There are 3,250 square miles of
land that have been taken from the
tick-infested area and placed above
the federal quarantine line where the
farmers and cattle men can have the
benefit of the native market without
inspection." says the report.
The state has appropriated annually
e sum of $30,000 to be used In main-
taining quarantine lines and carrying
on the work of eradication. A large
part of the money has been used for
for the protection of something like
900.000 head of cattle placed above the
quarantine, and which would soon be-
come Infested if it were not for this
protection and for the maintenance of
the lines. All of the expense of super-
vising the dipping of approximately
300.000 head of cattle shipped from
Texas into this country is paid out of
this money, which would leave about
$20,000 actually expended by the state
in eradication.
To locate a farm within each coun-
ty upon which may be given a practi-
cal demonstration .of tested and ap-
proved farming had been the chief
work of the farm demonstration de-
partment. according to the report
made by Campbell Russell of the de-
partment.
These demonstration farms In no
sense are experiment farms. The
managers of these farms are not al-
lowed. expected or desired, to conduct
experiment. Their business is to ap-
ply methods that repeated expert
ments and years of thorough tests
have proven to be successful.
"Farmers of today very generally
agree that the new methods tested
and promulgated by our experiment
stations are far superior to the meth-
ods heretofore and now in use and yet
a remarkably large per cent of them
continue to use the old methods,"
says Mr. Russell's report.
Conspiracy Would Be
Necessary
"Many people, without thinking about the matter, believe
that gas is wrongfully charged to them," says a circular recently
issued by a large manufacturer. "This is a mistake. Gas compa-
nies, even if they wanted to, could not afford to do so. Manufac-
turers of gas meters do not issue incorrect meters. The workmen
who prove the meters are sworn to let no meter pass if not correct.
"What would a gas company have to do to put out meters
which register fast?
"They would have to take the meters apart, in the first
place. This would mean that orders would have to come from
headquarters down through the line of officers, superintendents,
clerks, etc., to the workmen in the shops. This would involve a
big conspiracy, as secrecy would, of course, be essential."
"Look at the array of people who would know about it. The
Company could not discharge one of them for fear of being told
upon—in other words would be open to blackmail from each and
every employe, and for all time. Also, why should employes of
the company do a wrong? They are paid but salaries and wages,
such as are paid in other occupations for the same amount of skill.
Even if meters register fast, the employe would not benefit by it.
The majority of people in the world are honest. Even dishonest
people, as a rule are honest, unless they have something to gain
by dishonesty.
