Among the educational features to be
enjoyed by visiting the State Fair
October 31st to November 9th, inclusive
will be demonstrations of the use of
the dipping vat, device for removing
the dread pest known as the cattle tick.
One of these devices will be installed
at the fair grounds at an early date.
An appropriation for that purpose has
been made by the directors of the fair
association. It will be installed under
direction of a Government expert. Daily
exhibits of the use of the dipping
vat will be given during the fair. One
OF the reasons it has been arranged for,
is in order to let the farmers see how the
device is best used, as the cattle tick
causes great damage in this section
every year, and many of the watts prom
Use to be used for discriminating the
pest.
The association, in deciding to put in
the device, acted on the suggestion of
State Vetinarian DR.. E. P. Flower and
other officials interested in the eradica-
ton of the Cattle tick.

The Endorsement given Mr.. MichePs
candidacy for Governor by Mrs. Edward
Gottschalk, President of the Louisiana
Division of the United Daughters OF the
Confederacy, has alike aroused the ire OF
some of the chapters of that organization
and nearly the entire press of the State,
and properly SO. The United Daughters
of the Confederacy is an organization pri-
marily patriotic in motive, and anything
but partisan Aside from this, Mr.. Michel,
if he could secure the Governorship, would
perhaps do no more to further the ambi-
tons of this noble band of earnest women,
or no more for the Confederate veterans
of our State, than any one else. We here
in Louisiana-and in the entire Southland
are in sympathy with their aims, their
work, their every desire and should and
will go to extreme ends to achieve them.
Mrs. Gottschalk's Endorsement coming at
this time, when a movement has been
launched in our State by the Confederate
veterans to erect monument to the men,
ory of the women who so faithfully served
and suffered for the Confederacy from 81
to '65 and that trying period that followed
makes it the more regrettable and repre-

results to accrue from Louisana's exhibit

the railway company were not to be in
cluded in the approved or patented list. In
some instances errors were made and lands
were approved and patented to the railway
company that did not properly belong to it
under the terms of its grant. Much Of the
land enormously obtained in this manner
has been reconveyed to the Government
and subsequently homesteaded by settlers;
many cases are still pending, and it is to
determine the status of these lands that the
above noted suit is brought.
There we're still other lands erroneously
approved to the New Orleans Pacific Rail-
way Company for which the settlers have
never set up claim. All who are now oc-
cupying railway lands who were in possess
sion of and cultivating the same Chem
selves or their authors) at the time of the
selection by the railway company, and who
have had constant and uninterrupted pos
session to the present time, should at once
make homestead application covering the
land they occupy. Such application must
be made to the United States Land Office,
Baton Rouge, and must be accompanied
by sufficient money to cover fees and com
missions. Fees on homestead entries of
less than 81 acres, So; in excess of 81 acres,
$40; commission, 5 cents per acre on the
total area of the entry. Where the entry
covers fractional divisions, and the area Of
the entry is in excess of 100 acres, pay
ment on the excess area must accompany
the application, at the rate of $3.50 per
acre. All payments must be made in cur
| rency or money order, the latter payable
to Louis T. Dugazor, Receiver.
John F. Nuttell, Register Of the U. S.
Land Office, Baton Rouge, will reject all
such applications, notifying the applicant
of the rejection and giving him the right
to appeal within thirty days. With this
notice will be returned all moneys paid by
the applicant. On receipt of this notice
the entryman should Immediately make an
appeal from the decision rejecting his ap-
plication, setting forth therein the facts as
to the settling, cultivating and improving
of the lands he is occupying and file the
same at the U. s. Land Office in Bator

thirty days from the receipt of the notice
