EUROPEAN LIQUOR RESTRICTION

EUROPEAN LIQUOR RESTRICTION.
The foreign powers at the very out
break OF the war recognized that the
sale OF liquor would have TO be cur
tailed In order to bring out greater
efficiency, among their peoples. 1t Is
noteworthy that Great Britain has not
seen At TO follow the lead of other
warning countries in the restriction Of
strong drink and that she OF all ma
lions Is having the most dfncult time
to get volunteers and that labor
troubles are frequent.
Here is list of the nations that
have put the taboo on LIQUOR:
Austria-Hungafy-S limited to
between q. m. and 5 p. m. On Sun
days and holidays all liquor shops are

soldiers land in some cases to civil
lice districts.
France-The sale Of absinthe has
been forbidden.
Germany-Sale OF spirits has been
forbidden to soldiers in the district
OF Berlin and the province OF Bran
denburg. Local authorities are en-
powered to prohibit or restrict the
sale OF spirits The production OF
alcohol has been restricted.
| Norway-The sale Of spirits was
forbidden until October 10. Now the
sale is permitted four days a week.
The police can prohibit the sale OF

An Old Land Mark Gone.

The destruction OF the O'Niell
House, by FIRE, marks the passing
Of an old land mark.
Ia 1o16 the rear portion OF this
old hotel was known as the Man.
sion House, and was used az the
social centre. or club, for large
portion Of the Attakapas country.
Before the old red brick court
house, now demolished, was built
the Mansion House was used fer
court room. There were no
public records in this parish prior
to 1919, consequently little room
vas required Tor the Clerk and
Recorder.
After the old Court House vas
erected, the Mansion House again
became hotel and social club.
For years, it was used as ball
room and play house, where all
social entertainments were held.
Sometime in the early '30's or
late POS the Teche country be.
came quite attractive for Northern
enterprises. and Franklin was
shipping and receiving point for
merchandise, and was q good
sized port for that early period.
1t was about at that time the small
brick front and brick pavement
was added to the Mansion House
This brick addition was used a.
postofice and port office; and this
street corner was the busy mart OF
trade for the A,takapas section.
To this small brick building was
soon added the large frame build
ing which afterwards became the
Howell House, and then the
O'Nieil House by which name the
place was known at the time OF
the fire of las. week.
Ia the dark days CT the Recon.
structioa era, the old O'Niell
House was the scene OF many
stirring events. |, was in the old
Mansion House part OF the buiid-
ing that Pope and Chase were
killed by little band of men
whose identity was never kaown
This old hotel was probably the
last building in ST. Mary Parish
that was known ard used for
more than five generations OF
people.

DO YOU KEEP BOOKS?

In the letters from the

Farmer" asks DR.. Pierson,
Superintendent of the Asy'
lum at Jackson. whether OF
not he kept books on his
farming operations at the
Asylum.
Of course, the simple letter
of Farmer will not fan a
fame that will burn always,
but the letter indicates about
what the people are think
ing, and what sort Of Cover.
nor this State needs at this
time. 1t indicates that bust
ness matters are worrying
the taxpayers, and that they
are tired of politics, and
want a little business and
bookkeeping in the State 5
affairs: something that is SO
woefully lacking now.
: AS the race now stands.
the Democratic organization
has failed to respond to
"Farmer's' question. with
the proper candidates. Book

20 with political Governors:
We have this SO impressively
stamped upon our memory.
and SO depressingly stamped
upon the States affairs, that
even the Democratic leaders
and newspapers recognize it,
and are working over time
to remedy it: they are still
looking and hoping for a
Moses to lead them out of
the present political chaos:
they thoroughly realize that
it is impossible for the orga.
nization to win with either of
the Democratic candidates.
Why! Simply because the
State needs. and the voters
are demanding a business
man for Governor.
But the Progressives and
the independents beat them
to it. John NJ. Parker keeps
books: he initiates, leads.
succeeds and does things: he
has been tried and made
good; he handles business
and business enterprises with
a mastery hand. and the
leaders know that this is just
the sort of man who will be
Governor-and they have
hone like him: for once. they
are admittedly outclassed.
The next four years of the
Governorship will be a severe
trial Of business capacity:
Parker has had thirty years
of trial, and has made good:
and this long trial with great
success, makes him invinci-
BILE; he has been asked to-
take the GovernorShip. just |
as he has been asked to run
so many large business en-
terprises during the last |
thirty years.
Sick Of politics and politi-
cal failures. the average vo-
ter has determined to try
business this time: and this
is why John NJ. Parker is
going to win. They are going
to try bookkeeping and man
lgement, instead of leader

WIND AND GYPSY MOTH.
Government Investigations Show That
the Larvae of the Pest Are Blown
Considerable Distances Into Pre-
Vious Uninfestsd Territory.

That the wind is chiefly responsihle
Tor the general spread OF the gypsy
moth in New England is the conclu-
sion reached as the result of an in
Vest1gat1on carried on by the depart
ment OF agriculture in 1913 and 1914.
the report Of which has Just been pub
llshed as Bulletin No. 273. 1t has been
round that in the last forty years the
pest has gained an average Of miles
year toward the northeast in con-
sequence of the southwest winds which
prevail in New England during the
season most favorable for the dissem-
nation OF the moth larvae. To the
northward, the gain has been at the
rate or IL miles per year while in
other directions the spread has been
slower. "-
To prevent this spread continuing
the badly infected areas near the bor-
der, says the report, must be brought
under control. This can be accom-
phsned either by natural enemies or
oy hand methods, or by both. In the
infested territory, its natural enemies
are now performing important SER
vices. The quarantine on lumber pro-
ducts. Christmas trees. nursery stock
ana stone from the infested territory
is also. 1t Is believed. an effective pre-
caution against the spread Of the pest
into other sections Of the United
states. The necessity for hand work
on the borders OF the infested area
Is however, emphasized by the evidsnc
OF OF .ne great part that the wind plays
IN disseminating the larvae. The max
imum distance that IL liz known larvae
have been carried by the wind Is
IL IL miles. 1t 10 probable, however
that there are unrecorded instances in
winch this record has been exceeded
