WAR PLANNED ON THE CAT TLE TICK Concerned Effort by State, Local and Federal Forces, in the South Washington, March 20.—A con certed campaign against the cat tle tick in the South by federal, state and local authorities, which it is hoped wiU eliminate the pest from all the Atlantic rtates north of Florida, is about to be begun. Alabama will join in the fight with the expectation of rid ding the state of the ticks that still are found in a few counties here. Florida is to make a drive against the pest in the counties in the northwestern part of the state contiguous to Alabama, and, as the state eliminated the insect in seven counties last year, it is be lieved by department of agricul ture authorities that the maintain ance of the 52-mile long quaran tine fence along the Georgia Florida line will not be needed much longer. The fence wa3 erected by Georgia after that state had freed itself of cattle ticks in order to prevent infested animals from Florida crossing the border. North of Georgia the only tick infestation section is found in three counties in Virginia and two in South Carolina. COLONEL COOUDGE GAVE FARM TO SON Family Homestead Transferred Thrt*e Weeks Before Death Plymouth, Vt., March 19.— Three weeks before his death, Plymouth learned today Colonel John C. Coolidge transferred to hisson, Calvin, the farm on which members of the Coolidge family have lived for generations. The farm consists of 225 acres with the wh.te farmhouse which was the President's boyhood home. Throughout the Colonel's life time the family {iroperty stood in the name of his father, Caivin C. Coolidge. The town records show that the transfer was made from the estate of C. G. Coolidge to the President. The Colonel died ostensibiy pen niless, although a man of sub stance. Neighbors say that all property other than the land was made over to the President dur ing his lifetime. Plymouth never knew the value of the Calvin G. Coolidge estate and the same se crecy has been maintained in the case of the Colonel's property. There was no will. In addition to the homestead, the President owns the lime kiln lot in which is the Coolidge sugar orchard. This tract he inherited from his grandfather.

SQUIRE MONEY TAKES ISSUE WITH WELFARE To the Editor of The Journal: I see in The Journa! of March 12th an article headed: "One of the reasons why Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson would abolish North Carolina's chain ^ang system." After reading this article. 1 wish to express my opinion on same. Our prisons, and the manage ment of our prisoners, may not be the very best that they could be. but we must romf-mbm- t h:tt a large number of our prisoners today have been behind the same bars before, and after knowing the conditions of the prisons, they choose to iive such lives that they must be sent there time after time. Knowing this, do we favor turning the whole thing over to the officials of the Board of Cha rities and Public Welfare? They would soon give it up as an im possible job. They would find that it is much easier to stand off and criticise others, than to reach the goal that they had wanted someone else to reach. In conclusion, let me say that we have hundreds of people who live in the country that do not fare as well as our prisoners do. I say, if the Board of Public Wel fare and Charity want something to do, let them get out and work among these poor people, and let the chain gang system stay as it is.—-J. C.
