FROM CONVENT TO
TRAMP PATHETIC
CAREER OF GIRL
Anniston, June 2.—(Special.)—An ap
pealing story has been disclosed here in
the case of Elizabeth Hood, a pretty 18
year-old girl, who was taken up by Of
ficer Dashwood of the detective force of
the Southern railroad. Without money,
dressed In man's attire, her feet a mass
of blisters from a long tramp In search
of a loved one, the young woman made
a strong appeal to the officer who took
her to his home.
Miss Hood Is an orphan. After her par
ents died she was sent to a convent in
New Orleans and afterward adopted by a
Meridian couple. She was deserted then,
It Is averred, and she went to work in a
picture show as ticket collector with a
young man believed to be her brother,
Arthur Hood, who was operator of the
machine.
When taken up by the Anniston officer,
the young woman had walked all the
way from Tallapoosa. Oa. The shoes she
wore were several numbers too large for
her, being a man's size, and her tender
feet were almost ruined by the tramp
over stones and the ballast of railway
tracks, her toenails being worn to the
quick.
The young lady expected to find her
brother at Tallapoosa, but he was not
there. She proceeded thence to Birming
ham and decided to adopt male attire to
facilitate her search. Her Ions hair,
which had fallen to her waist and which
she wore in graceful curls around her
temples, was sacrificed and the man's
shirt and trousers, shoes and hat adopted.
When she left Tallapoosa, she was on
route to Gadsden, where she helieved her
brother had gone, but by the time she
reached Anniston she was completely
fatigned and was tying asleep under a
tree in the depot park when she was found
by Officer Dashwood.
Tile Anniston police have communicated
with officers at Gadsden and there seems
to be some doubt as to whether the man
she is seeking is really the young wom
an's brother. She is drawn hv a strong
efTeetion. however, and her plight has
elicited considerable sympathy from the
Anniston police and others who have
learned of her condition.
The Influence of the convent Is very
noticeable In the young woman's de
meanor. She possesses the marks of re
finement and seems to be well trained.
An effort Is being made to get Arthur
Hood to come for her or else she will he
given transportation and feminine attire
with which to proceed to that city.

A. H. Pettibone Points Out
What the Fight Means in
Actual Figures
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
That the Texae or tick fever is the
great bane of all southern agriculture
Is as certain as any fact can be—as
certain that Birmingham is a great and
growing city, and that The Age-Herald
is its foremost journal.
Indeed, the yearly loss and cost,
which is alone caused by the cattle
ticks, is estimated by the experts of,
the United States department of agri- |
culture to be not less than $7f>.000,000,
000, for the entire sunny south. And
the loss and sheer waste annually of
the two states of Georgia and Alabama,
from the same fell cause, is fixed by
the expert statisticians of the Central j
of Georgia railroad at not less than I
$7,000,000!
These, Mr. Editor, are certainly great
and fearful losses, and they would seem
incredible if they were not so stoutly
attested! But facts are facts, and they
cannot be gainsayed by any amount of
sheer incredulity. What then is to be
done? Shall the people sit down in
doleful dumps, and wait for the cattle
ticks to die out? But they won't die
°ut. No. They have come to stay till
they are utterly stamped out and erad
icated. But can this be done and as a
matter of fact, will tick eradication
really pay? i undertake to stoutly j
affirm that it can be done, and that I
it will immensely pay—and if space j
be granted for this open letter, I will
undertake to prove it.
I he Age-Herald has so long been'
identified with every movement looking i
to the growth and development of Ala- j
bama that l cannot doubt it will gi tn
ly assent.
''ell, it is now about six years since
this bureau began in dead earnest ih*

the catUc owners of $21,965,780! And
all irom the cattle alone! More than
“° tl,",:s th« entire cost of tick eradica
tion—the greatest part of which was
borne by Uncle Sain! And now we
do not have to argue with those cat
tle owners to prove to them that tick
eradication will surely pay. Thev tiiprl
it fully and they fully know!
But It must not be forgotten that
those 120,000,0110 acres, as mere land
«ere increased ln value by the fact of
utter tick eradication so much as from
$3 to $5 per acre. But an increase of
from $3 to $5 per acre would be for
120,000,000 acres not less than 8360 000 -
000 to $600,000,000! Now does this seem
incredible? Well, let us be most mod
erate. Bet us concede for argument's
sake, that the Increased value was onlv
$1 per acre. Still, Mr. Editor, an in
cruase of only $1 per acie, an Increase
away within the truth, would be for
120,000,000 acres exactly $120,000,000!
And this would be more than 100 royal
kings’ ransoms, at a round million dol
lars each. And the question. "Will ,*ok
eradication pay?" In the sunshine of the
cold facts becomes at once as silly as
it Is absurd. Yes, tick eradication will
pay as surely in Alabama as It has paid
in all the territory so far cleared of
the vermin cattle ticks!
And now what does all Alabama, and
all Its counties, want to render Alabama
one of the richest of states? Is It not
to make all her acres valuable as Ilk,.,
lands are worth In Ohio, or Kentucky,
or Illinois, or Missouri? Now the av
erage price and value of lands In Ala
bama today and now are not worth
one-tifth as much on the average as
they are ln each of the above named
states. Does any reader doubt this? Bet
him consult the census of 1910—and be
convinced.
What Alabama as a state now needs
is to get rid of the cattle ticks. It can
be done. Alabama needs especially
great herds of giant shorthorns, of
sleek and fat white faced Herefords,
of great Holstelns, so famous In Den
mark; of plump polled Angus, of blood
ed and valuable Jerseys and Guernseys
to take the place and to forever displace
the runts and stunts, and tick dwarfed
scrubs which now occupy and disgrace
so many farms and pastures! ThlB Ala
bama can have, have without question.
If she will get rid of the cattle ticks.
But she can't have this and keep the
cattle tickB. They won't breed blooded
stock. They breed only poverty—but
they breed it a-plenty!
Now there Is no branch of farming
which promises so much for southern
agriculture as cattle raising. The tact
is that there are less cattle In the
United States than there were 20 years
ago. And yet we have 20,000,000 more
population. And Immigration Is still
pouring ln. Now all these people must
be fed. No wonder that the cry Is going
up from all the country about 4he hlgn
price of living! There Is only one out
come. We must raise more meat. And
the price of meat will be high for long
years to come.
Bittle Denmark Is now the richest
and most prosperous corner In Europe.
What Is the basis of her prosperity?
It is cattle raising. Bittle Denmark Is
famous for her Holstein cattle. She last
year sold in the London market $60,
000,000 worth of prime Holstein butter.
Cattle raising Is surely £ success ln
Denmark 1 But can It be made a like
success ln Alabama? Why not? Ala
bama's climate Is not to bleme, Hol
stein cattle do not degenerate ln Ala
bama—nor do the other famous breeds.
Let the example of Mississippi bear
witness.
Now Mississippi Is surely not better
adapted to oattle raising than Is Ala
bama. Yet, Mr, Walker Hurdle of Holly
Springs, Miss., has recently Bold, In

were as moor as tick infected cattle get
to be. They were raised on tick in
fected lands which the high wafers of
1912 freed from cattle ticks. Mr. Par
ker freed the cattle from ticks by the
dipping vats and the arsenical dip—and
returned them to the pastures freed
of ticks by the overflow. These cattle
became fat, and on tick freed pastures.
Mr. Parker says the? were ihe best
