RALLY DAY
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
In Jefferson Davis Parish is Set For
Friday, March 10th.

Sometime ago the school board of this
parish together with Supt. Annette at a
regular business meeting, passed re-
solutions without one dissenting voice
whereby a day was set apart for the
observance of temperance in all public
schools to be known as Temperance
Rally Day. In aS much as this action
was taken at the suggestion of the Par.
iSh W. c. T U. to that body of women
was given the pleasure of designating
the date and they have selected the sec.
ond Friday in March which this year
is the 10th.
Jefferson Davis has the obstruction
OF being the first parish in the state to
have a day authorized by its school
board for special Scientific Temperance
Instruction in her public schools and it
is hoped that parents, teachers and pu.
pills will unite and make the observance
OF this day so entertaining and success
ful that other parishes will soon follow
the good example. 1t is expected that
each school will give a specially pre-.
pared program on that day and where
possible in the evening that every one
may have an opportunity to enjoy it.

CLARION VACCINATION
To the Liver Stock Owners of the

To the Liver Stock Owners of the
State:-
Due to the prevalence of Charlton last
year, in various sections OF the state,
this board earnestly advises early in
OCulatiOn or vaccination this season on
the part of the live stock owners in
order to anticipate recurrence of the
infection and for the purpose of having
their stock protected in ample time be-
fore the advent of warm weather,
which is the Charlton season.
In accord with Federal regulations,
supervising the manufacture and dis
tributiOn of biological products, this
particular vaccine should bear a date
OF expiration 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 approaches, when Charlton in
lection usually develops.
The state live stock sanitary board
strongly urges, therefore, that in
those sections of the state in which
Charbon Injection 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,
Ii stock owners will give this matter
Their careful attention, it will increase
tue number OF protected animals at the
beginning OF the Charlton season, and
materially limit the spread OF the dis.
ease, hould the coming summer prove
favorable to the development of char.
bon infeC ion.
