MIGRATORY BIRD Law STILL IN FORCE.

Washington, ID. c., March lst, 1916.
a misleading statement has recently
become current in newspapers of the
Mississippi Valley and elsewhere, to the
effect that the Department of Agriculture
has suspended the enforcement OF the
Federal regulations under the Migratory
Bird Law and by this means has enable
sportsmen, under State laws, to shoot
wild fowl the coming spring.
Under the Federal regulations as they
now stand, the season on all migratory
wild fowl is closed until next autumn
throughout the United States. Federal
inspectors and wardens are required, and
Others interested in the protection OF wild
fowl are requested to, report to the De-
patrment of Agriculture all cases Of viola
tons of the regulations, in order that
proper action may be taken
The Department of Agriculture has no
power to suspend the law or to pardon
violations of the regulations. Doubtless
erroneous impression, on which the news
paper statements are based, has grown
out of the tendency OF litigation involving
the constitutionality of the Act OF Congress
approved March 4, 1913, under which
the regulations were promulgated. The
lower Federal courts disagreed as to the
validity of the statute and the issue was
carried to the Supreme Court OF the
United States. The case was argued in
the Supreme Court in October, 1915, but
has not been decided Following the
lower court decisions, Congress appro-
priated money for the purpose OF con-
tinuing the enforcement of the law The
of Agriculture is bound to
report to the Department OF Justice viola
tons of the regulations if the Supreme
Court should declare the law constitu-
tional. All persons should. therefore, be
warned of the danger they incur from
failure to abide by the regulations.

brain to write you mediate. There was
many Englis womans and when mans
are sitting on the bench, and womans
come, man stand and give their sit to
woman. This happen 2 or time to-
morrow and l question you why? again
tell you why? Mans and womans are
similar in this world and then why mans
honors woman. II they honors old old
woman, one thing, but they honours

AGENT VANCE TO Be WITH US ANOTHER
YEAR.

Ii will be the cause of much satisfac.
ton to our people to know that Mr.. $.
w. Vance, of the Agricultural Depart
ment, who has labored so faithfully in
Tensas and southern Madison parishes
will be with us for another year. We also
feel very grateful to DIR. w. r. Dodson,
OF the Extension Department OF Louis
lana, for his kindly feeling toward Ten
sas parish in assuming this obligation for
1916, thereby relieving us of that burden
for this year.
The following letter from Mr.. Mason
Snowden, State Agent, to Mr.. Frank ii d..
Curry, President of the Police Jury OF
Tensas parish, is self-explanatory:
Baton Rouge, La, Feb. IS, 1916.
Hon. Frank II. Curry,
President Police Jury,
1t. Joseph, La.
My dear Sir:-Owing to the misfortune
that has beiallen Tensas Parish from the
high water, the Farm Demonstration
Work wants to do all it can to assist the
people of the parish. After conference
with DR.. W. r. Dodson, Director OF Ex-
tension, it has been decided that the ex-
tension Department will pay the $500. 90
local aid requested from your parish for
the year 1916. DIR. Dodson and ! both
feel that tile parish has incurred immense
losses in public property and we are glad
to be able to assist Tensas Parish to this
extent. We feel that we have a right to
do this under the disaster that has befal-
len you. While it is against our rule of
cooperation with the different parishes
in the State, yet all rules should be brok-
en- to meet emergencies.
Agent Vance will given his services to
the parish therefore without cost to it for
this year. / sincerely hope that the wa
ter will soon fall and that the farmers

and cotton and other feed stuffs.
With kind regards and deepest SYM
pathy for the people OF Tensas Parish in
their misfortune, l am,
Yours truly,

HELL AND HIGH WATER.

We don't know where, how or by
whom the expression originated, but
whoever originated it, must have had
the gift OF second sight and looked
far into the future aud seen Louis
lana, a State which has been so
happy and prosperous after years
of Democratic control and govern
ment, fighting against high water
and Republicanism. To fight either
is bad enough, but to fight them
both at one at the same time is a
condition 50 bad that it can only be
likened unto the realm of his Sa-
tanic Majesty.
The worst feature of the present
contest between the Democratic par
ty under the leadership Of that stall
wart young Democrat, Col. Rufiin
G. Pleasant. and the Hyphonated
party under the leadership Of Mr..
John M. Parker, who has belonged
to all parties from the Republican
all down the line to the party of the
Squaw Man, is the fact that some
leading newspapers throughout the
State are trying to persuade the
voters that it is right, moral and
honest to participate in the Demo-
cratic primaries and then bolt the
Democratic party and vote against
the man who they, themselves, have
nominated. How any man with
sufficient brains to edit one of the
leading papers of the State could
preach such a doctrine is more than
we can understand. We fail to see
how any man can consider such Il
course honest or moral.
The Parker organs are claiming the
earth with the hope of being able
to stampede those who want to ride
in the front seat of the band wagon,
but their false claims will amount
to nothing, we have too much con-
fidence in the honesty and morality
of the people of Louisiana to be-
lieve that they would be guilty of
such crime.
The result of the election in April
means far more than the election
OF Pleasant or Parker as Governor
OF Louisiana,-it has a national sig
nificance. Ii Pleasant is elected, as
he is sure to be, it means that Louis |
lana will have given President VIII
son and his great administration a |
vote of confidence. If, on the other
hand, the voters of Louisiana should |
stultify themselves by electing Park
er, it will be reputation of the
Wilson administration, which has
been the greatest since the days of
the lamented Lincoln.
We urge the voters of Tensas, no
matter what the local conditions
may be in April, to go to the polls
at whatever trouble and inconve-
niece and sacrifice it may be, and
cast their votes for Col Pleasant
and Democracy.

BOY SCOUTS.

That President Wilson'S Preparedness
Policy" is receiving hearty response
throughout the country, from it's ex-
tremest length Ia it's greatest breadth, is
evidenced by the activity that is to be
seen everywhere along military lines in
nearly every city, town and village in
the United States. Companies OF Boy
Scouts are being organized in every ham,
let and the Boy Scouts of to-day will be
the soldiers of tomorrow, and each a
tower of strength i'm defense of our
glorious country. That the Boy Scouts
of Natchez are getting busy is seen by
the following from the Natchez News
Democrat, which might do well for young
native Americans and adopted Americans
to follow:

CLARION VACCINATION.

Baton Rouge, La, Feb. 22nd., 1916
To the Live Stock Owners of the State:
Due to the prevalence of Charlton last
year, in various sections of the State,
this board earnestly advises early inocu-
lation or vaccination this season on the
part Of live stock owners in order to
anticipate recurrence of the infection
aud for the purpose OF having their stock
protected in ample time before the adj
vent of warm weather, which is the
Charlton season.
In accord with Federal regulations,
supervising the manufacture and distribu-
ton of biological products, this particu-
lar vaccine should bear date of expira-
ton not to exceed three months which
will insure better and more potent
material, consequently more satisfactory
results, this season.
Past experience has taught that best
results are obtained when animals are
vaccinated against Charlton early in the
Spring so as to allow thirty days in which
to secure protection before the season APP
proaches, when Charlton infection usually
develops
The State Live Stock Sanitary Board
strongly urges, therefore, that, in those
sections of the Stale in which Charlton
infection has been known to exist in
previous years, vaccination OF animals
should be commenced not later than
March lst. That is, the first dose, of a
double dose vaccine, should be given at
that time
If stock owners will give this matter
their careful attention, it will increase
the number OF protected animals al the
of the charbon season, and
limit the spread OF the desease,
should the coming Summer prove favor
able to the development of Charlton in
lection.
