"The Sultan's Necklace"
Six months to recover the seven
pearls or suffer the penalty of be
ing sent to the harem. lima, the
daughter of Honest Bey, a former
American Ambassador, agrees to re
turn the pearls while her father is
held in hostage. The pearls had
been intrusted to her father's care
by the Sultan, and he had promised
to guard them with his life, but un
fortunately they were stolen by
Harry Drake, a susceptible New
York youth, who was travelling in
Europe. Drake had rescued lima
from drowning; and in gratitude,
she kissed him. This enraged some
Turks, who were on the spot, and
they beat Harry and took his money.
His funds 'gone, Drake asks assist
ance of Grady, an American crook.
He tells him that he, too, has been
robbed of a pearl necklace, and if
he can recover it, his reward will be
eue of the pearls.
tlf
lima finds the
pearls, tries them on, and then lays for
them by a barred window. Reaching
in, Harry hooks them with his cane
On account of her veil, he has no
suspicion that he is robbing the girl
he rescued.
Drake arrives in New York, fol
lowed by lima, who is in search of
the;pearls.^ During the trip, Drake
had received à node, telling him that
his crime was known, and unless he
returtfW the pearls he would die.
Learning that the pearls never be
longed to Grady, Harry refuses his
share when they are divided j
amongst the gang. That -night, in j
his apartment, he receives a note |
from Grady, telling him that he had |
concealed the pearl in the heel of
his shoe. ■ Finding'it,-he* locks Mtr in
the drawer of his desk. Later that
night Drake discovers a masked fig
ure at his desk. Drawing his revolv
er, he secures the pearl. A second
figure holds Drake up, and takes the
pearl from him.. As the second fig
ure backs toward the door, a strange
hand reaches in and takes the pearl
from the second figure, while Drake
turns in wonderment to the masked
woman.

I&-DAY DIPPING MEAl#'!
! PROMPT ERADICATION!
•. j
THE STATE CAN BE MADE RkL
flRELY TICK-FREE IN ONE j
SEASON. j
;
1
EVERYONE MUST CO-OPERATE
!
..... . ..
Louisiana Is the Only State Using
the Twenty-one Day-Dipping • ;
Periods.
Some of the questions most fre
quently asked on tick eradication are
'answered below by Dr. W. H. Dalrym
iPle, of the Department of Veterinary
Science, Louisiana State Uniformity:
Why is it necessary to dip cattle
gvery 14 days during the season to
get rid of the ticks?
Answer. During the warm season
of the year, the average time requir
j,«d by the tick to develop, from the
small larval, or seed tick, after at
! taching to cattle, until the large fe
male tick matures and drops to the
ground to lay her egg. is about 22
days. But while 22 days may be the
average, many ticks mature earlier
than that time. Consequently it has
Ibeen found that the 21 -day dipping
periods do not catch the earlier-ma
turing ticks, which drop off and keep
on making more ticks, thereby delay
ing the final results. On the otiier
hand, by dipping cattle every 14 days,
all of the ticks that become attached
to them in the intervals are killed,
because none of them mature and
drop off before 14 days.
How has this information been ob
tained?
Answer. It has been observed by
those engaged in th-e work of tick
eradication that, towards the end of
the season, under the 21 day method,
there are always a number of cattle,
or herds, still remaining tick-infested.
While with 14-day dipping there may
be none, or only very few, with ticks
, on them.

at
1 Then th * di PP in 9 periods are based
u P° n the * ,me ret iu ire d for the ticks
lto develop on the cattle and fall off?
Answer. Precisely so. The adop- ,
tion of the 14-day periods is to do -! 1
atroy all of the ticks that have be- *
j come attached to the cattle In the in
! Verrais between dippings, without any
*»f them having dropped off. !
; How long, relatively, will it take to ^
clean a parish, or oection, of ticks un- j
d« r t he 14-day and 21-day dipping pe
rlods?
j Answer. With the full co-opera- i
«on of everyone interested, the ticks
may be cleaned up in one season un
MV vicnucu u y lu wnr UU* i .1
the 14-day periods; while under !
tbe 21 -day periods it may take two {
or three or more seasons, as has been
the case ln a number of parishes. j

pending on how grossly they had pre
vlously been infested. If we should
strike an average of 25 per cent, it
would mean that the dairyman who
continued to feed ticks on his cows
,was throwing away an equivalent of
one bucketful of milk out of every
the development of beef

i ' What effect do the tick * hav *' ,f
£^ 7 "
' Answer. They prevent develop
paent, because a great deal of the
blood which the feed makes, and that
should be used to nourish the animal,
la appropriated by the ticks, and the
benefit of the feed is, therefore, lost
to tbe animal.
Are all the other states dipping
dfielr cattle every 14 days?
Answer, Yes. Some of them
adopted the 14-day periods at the
beginning of the work, and others
that had commenced with the 21 days I
have since abandoned the longer in
tervals for the 14-day method, as the I
results have been found so much {
more satisfactory.
It is believed, then, that It Is pos- !
sible to eradicate the cattle ticks !
from a parsh, or even the state, If «|| 1
the cattle are dipped in the standard
arsenical solution every 14 days for
one season?
Answer. Yes. It is being done In
other states, and parts of this state
at the present time. However, to be
able to accomplish it satisfactorily it !
will require co-operation on the part
of everyone concerned and interested
in the work.
When once the state is tick-frsej
will there be any danger of rednfe*.!
tat ion?
Answer. None. The federal gov-' I
ernment and the state will see that
rigid quarantine is maintained against
the introduction of any tick-infested
cattle. That is provided for now in
Act No. 18 of the General Assembly
of 1916, and by federal regulation.
What Is a condition of tick-freedom
expected to mean to the state?
Answer. It will mean that Louis
iana will be in a position to pro
gress agriculturally, and otherwise,
âs the more progressive states have,
done that have never suffered from j
the benighting effects of federal,
quarantines, on account of Texas, or I
tick fever, and the presence of cattle )
Uds, which is surely worth conscien
tiously working for for one season, or
even more, to bring it about
IF GERMANY WON.
By Casper Wbitaay
of The Vigilantes.
j Do you realize what would happen
to us in America if Germany de
j feat'ed Great Britain and France?
j You think of us as separated from
her by 3000 miles of water, but
1 oceans in these days of electricity
and air-ships and submarines, are
! barriers no more effective than
mountain brooks.
You recall the German U-boat
{.which suddenly appeared last sum

mer at our very door to sink several
cargo and passenger steamers off
our New England coast?
Within six months after a victory
of Germany in Europe, German
warships and German troop-ships
would be on their way to our ports
to levy the great tribute upon this
cel of the German war plan.
Thats what the triumph of

Officers, merchants,
said as much to me in
Belgium, Poland, during
behind the German lines
work. And you have probably read
the corroborative evidence of their
purpose in the Kaiser's threat to
Ambassador Gerard; "America had
better look out after this war!"
In Brazil, Chili, Venezuela, prom
inent German merchants whom 1
met in the course of my travels,
frankly confided to me the inten
tion of Germany "one day" to make
an "over seas Germany" of South
America. And an elephant catch
er from Hamburg told me years ago
in the jungles of Lower Siam that
"the day was coming" when Ger
mans would not need to ask "per

am" for a free hunting hand in Si
