BASE BALL

The fast South Saltwater team
will be here SUNDAY and will attempt
to even up for the 8 to 0 defeat suf-
fered at the hands of the locals May
8, the first game of the season on
the home grounds. The manage
ment of the local association wishes
to call the attention of the fans to
the fact that the association is ably
in need of funds to make up for
losses incurred in the attempt to
furnish good base ball entertain
ment here this season and that a
large attendance at this, the last
game of the season, would be great
ly appreciated. The game is sure
to be worth the price of admission.

Breaks Out In
Acadia Parish.

According to reports receiv-
ed here from south and west
of Crowley, Charlton has again
made its appearance in the
sections of that parish that
were visited by the disease
last summer.
Gilbert LATHE lost a COW,
Jas. Lormand five cattle, Jose
ph Fruge a horse and Dos
Broussard a pair of mules.
Some doubt is said to thena-
ture of the attack, some far
ners holding that it is not
Charlton, although the gener-
al symptoms are those of the
disease as it has appeared in
former years. The disease
did not appear until after the
heavy rains following the
long drouth. The police jury
will be asked to take steps to
prevent spread by insisting
on the burial or burning Of
all carcasses Of animals that
have died. Last year the at
tack was unusually severe.
and several thousand dollars
worth OF stock died in the
parish. A United States vet
erinarian was sent there at
the request Of Congressman
Pujo.
Whenever it breaks out in
Acadia it is not long before
cases occur in st. Landry, So
farmers should be on the qui-
vivs and prepare for it by va
ccination their stock, which
should have been done .Tanua
~, as the vaccination only
protects in the majority Of
cases for one year. -Orelousas
