MEETING LAST NIGHT.

The meeting last night at the Audi.
torium under the direction of the
Southwest Louisiana Development Blu.
reau drew representative audience
of Welsh citizens: The theme that ran
through the addresses was the eradi.
cation of the cattle tick.
The speakers emphasized the splendid
natural resources of this section and
the fine opportunities for the develop.
ment of the cattle industry; but the
greatest hindrance to the cattle in.
dustry is the cattle tick. Our cattle
are in the tick infested territory and is
therefore in the quarantine district.
This fact, the speakers declared, made
a discrimination against our cattle in
the markets of from three to five
dollars per head. They said that ap.
proXimately one million head of cattle
are marketed in the North each year an
therefore pointed out the enormous
loss tosthe South on account of the
tick. They advocated the establish.
ment OF dipping vatS in the several
communities in each parish, and recon-:
mended that the Police JurieS cooper.
ate with the State and United States
government in making appropriations
for this purpose.
The Importance. of kindred lines such
as the growing of feed crops and the
building of siloS were also emphasized.
Those who made addresses were:
DR.. A. E. Wright, of the Blu.
reau of Animal Industry, Depart.
ment of Agriculture, with headquarters
at Little Rock, Ark; Mr.. Young,
Director Of the Agricultural Depart.
ment of the Southern Pacific R. R.;
DR.. W. H. Dalrymple of the Chair of
Veterinary Science, State University;
DR.. Fred Never, Opelousas, Ex.PreSi.
dent of Louisiana State Medical So.
ciety, and W. C. Chevis, Manager of the
Southwest Louisiana Development Blu.
reau.
At the close of the meeting Mr.. W. B.
Gabbert and DR.. John H. Cooper were
appointed committee from this com.
munity to take up the study of this
question and to lead in the effort to
rid the torritorY of the tick.

Grafton Of the national government.
In3thiS Seventh Congressional District,
one of our principal industries is the
rice industry, I'VE all appreciate the
fact that if the Democratic program is
carried out. if Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Bryan,
Mr.. Clark and IMr. Underwood are the
real leaders of the party, and if they
continue in power, that we can hope
for nothing other than the entire re.
moval of the tariff on rice, placing us
in the same condition as are the sugar
planters of our neighboring district,
and reSultingi in the destruction of an.
other one of Louisiana's principal in.
duStrieS.
THE Democratic politician has told
us, and issagain telling Us, that if we
only once more try a Democrat in Con.
greSSithe dangers we fear will vanish
Experience teaches us that the only
way that we can receive any help will
be in the solemn protesting at the polls
in November by sending to Congress
one OF a different political line of
thought than what we have been in
the habit of sending. We have been
too much in the habit of electing a
Democrat and then insisting upon Re.
publican or Progressive remedies. The
result has been that the Democratic
party in Washington have come to be.
lieve that we belong to them regardless
OF their manner of treatment, They
count our electoral vote and our Con.
greSSional representative long years
before the election; we are not con.
Sidered in the building of the party's
platform; and, on the other hand, the
other parties regard us much in the
same light, only they realize that no
matter what may be their principles
what good they may do for us, the
people of Louisiana will not appreciate
it, but continue to vote for the Demo.
cratic party and against our own inter.
eSts, So that we have no personality in
national politics.
1.-THE only way we can .emancipate
ourselves, and to gain our rightfui
position in the national councils, is by
sending to Congress a delegation from
Louisiana who will no longer sit on the
Democratic side of the house, but will
go there representing the party which
offers to us the most prosperity.
When this is doue, we will find then
that the Democratic party will awaken
to a realization that Louisiana IS
factor to be considered, and that unless
something is done in the interest of
this State, they can no longer count
upon it as solid unit as has been the
OUS lOlil III luC past.
For these and other reasons / have
joined the Progressive party, and will
make the fight for congress. For the
same reasons, we will find thousands
of other LouiSianians doing the same
thing, and ! confidently believe that in
November. when the election shall
have been held, the most solemn pro.
test ever sent to an administrat ton
will have been sent by the people of
this district in retiring from Congress
the candidate who sails under the
Democratic banner and the election of
"a Progressive"

The present year affords the first OPP
portunity for the ProgresSives in this
section to get out candidate for any
Office but Hon. John j. Robira of Jen.
ninqs has announced his candidacy for
Congress from this district upon the
principles Of the Progressive Party.
Mr.. Robira is one of the most promi-
nent lawyers in this district. During
his administration as District Attorney
in the 18th Judicial District he estab.
lished an enviable reputation in South.
west Louisiana as an able official.
Mr.. Robira will doubtless poll a large
vote throughout the district,
Inan interview given out by Mr.,
Robira recently he says:
"The time has arrived in the history
of our State when we can no longer
continue to pay tribute to party
which has so ignored our interests as
has the Democratic party. We are
face to face with conditions which
call forth1 for thel exercise of our
highest duty as citizens in disregard.
ing traditions and treating conditions
as they are. There was time in
LouiSiana's history when it was al.
most necessary to belong to that party,
regardless of the economic conditions.
but that time has ceased to exist.
Great industries have grown up in our
State that demand the careful conSid.

DETERMINING A cows VALUE
important Fact Can Only Be Found
Out by Weighing Each Milking and
Keeping Daily Record.

The value Of q COW can only be
known by weighing each milking and
keeping daily record Of the same.
The weighing Of the feed and the
Weighing Of the milk Is now followed
by expert dairymen.
Sometimes a good COW is not ap-
preciated because the yield comes
from her months Of milking rather
than from the big yield soon after
calving. A dairyman at q farmers
meeting few weeks ago said: Il have
introduced the system Of weighing
the grain and forage fed to the herd
and weighing the milk Of each cow. 1t
takes very little time to do this, and
you can then know after a few months
what COWS are the most profitable"
A persistent mixer will In most
every instance prove the most profit
able COW to keep.
The Danish dairymen raise what
COWS they need. The most profitable
COWS can only be had BY careful breed
ing, wise selection, practical feeding
and thorough milking. In some dairies
the young COWS are milked three times
q day to develop their milking quail

Owe Word TO Saint.

To st. Etheldreda we owe the word
"tawdry." The saint knew no such
word, but the origin Of it is clear
enough. For st. Etheldreda was pom
ularly known as st. Audry, and at St
Audry's fair were sold st. Audrey
laces, which in process of time became
clipped into "tawdry laces." Finally
the new adjective was applied to any
fnery of similar grade. The part
played By the "t" in saint" IS exactly
