BIG AREA FREED OF TICKS.
Nine Louisiana Parishes to Be Re.
leased from Quarantine Dec. 1.

Nine parishes and two parts of par
ishes in Louisiana, with total area
of 1888 square miles, will be added on
December l to the territory freed
from cattle ticks and released from
federal quarantine in the southern
states. The parishes from which the
ban on cattle shipment will be lifted
are Caddo, Concordia, East Felici-
ana, Franklin, Jefferson Davis, Lin
coin, Pointe Coupee, Washington,
West Feliciana, and parts of Orleans
and Ouachita.
Parishes that previously have been
freed are East Carroll, Madison and
Tensas All the rest Of the state re-
mains under quarantine. OF the six
ty-three Louisiana parishes quaran-
tined July /, 1906, twelve parishes
and two parts of parishes will have
| been released December 1, leaving
forty-nine parishes and two parts of
! parishes still infested. The territory
in which the tick has been eradicated
comprises 1885 square miles, or II
per cent Of the area originally under
| quarantine, which totalled 45,4O9
square miles. The achievements of
| this wear result from vast amount
of preliminary work that has gone
forward. Rapid progress is looked
for in the future. Formerly little at
tention was paid in Louisiana to cat
| tie, for the sugar industry in the
southern part and cotton raising in
| the north held the center of the stage.
But when the sugar industry was
| threatened and when the boil Weevil
began it's ravages in the cotton fields,
there was turning in both sections
to the cattle industry. Many farm
ers bought cattle before the first ad-
| vance had been made against the
tick, consequently many valuable
animals were lost while their owners
were not certain what caused them to
sicken and die.
However, men within and from
without the state preached tick eradl-
cation for years, with the result that
statewide law was passed in 1916,
to go into effect in 1918. Some OF
the parishes did not wait for this law
and are at work to rid themselves OF
the costly cattle pest. The result OF
their cooperation with the Bureau OF
Animal Industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is seen in
the releases just authorized in the or
der of the secretary of agriculture.
Other states that will benefit by
the record breaking releases of Dec.
| will be Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, and Texas. The great
progress this year encourages leaders
Of the fight againat the parasite to
believe that their goal Of tick
free south in 1927 is near realiza-
tion.
Dr.. E. I. Smith, stationed at Baton
Rouge, is the Inspector IN charge OF
tick eradication assigned to Louisiana
by the Bureau of Animal Industry.

RATS AND MICE COSTLY PESTS
Not Only Cause Immense Losses, bu
Spread Fatal Diseases.

Rats and mice are among the worst
animal pests in the world, according to
BIOLOGISTS of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
From their home among filth they
visit dwellings and storeroons to poi
lutte and destroy human food.
The rat.carries bubonic plague ana
manv other diseases fatal to man and
has no doubt been responsible for
more untimely deaths among human
beings than all wars of history:
In the United States rats and mice
DESTROY each year in homes, in fac
tories, stores, and warehouses, IN cars
and on ships, chops, poultry, ana
other property valued at more than
5000 600, ,00O-an amount equivalent
to the gross earnings of an army OF
100000 men.
Grain eaten and wasted by rats and d
mice on many farms, would pay all
the farmers taxes.
Rats and mice breed from SIX to ten
times year, producing their destruc-
tive kind at an alarming rate.
They are parasites without a single
redeeming characteristic.

"Under the Stars and Stripes in
France"

Saturdays program at the Grand
will be featured by a special tWo-part
picture Of the above title, showing the
soldiers of Uncle Sam now on French
soil. We see the boys digging long
lines of trenches; executing various
maneuvers in the field; on their
"hikes" through the country; in their
camps, apparently very much at home
and happy; affiIiating with the French
inhabitants of the towns and villages
in which they are billeted; being
taught by fair maids Of France to read
the French language. Artillery, small
arms, rifle and bomb throwing prac-
tice are shown. A most interesting
part Of the picture is that showing a
grand review of the Americans. AS
far as the eye can reach are staiwart,
sanburned men, marching in company
formation under the Stars and
Stripes. The film contains views
taken under the auspices of the cine
photographic division of the French
army, and is exceedingly interesting
and timely.

THE RED CROSS BLOKE.'
Written by a Wounded Tommy.

Not blinkin' rap do we care for the
chap
With Red Cross on his sleeve
Till we get to the front, on the stand
to shunt,
An farewell bomb when you
leave.
Midst that flying death you hold your
breath,
An life seems suddenly dear.
While the Red Cross chap is out of the
scrap,
In the safest part of the rear.
1t doesn't seem fair for him to be
there,
While we face the powder an
smoke,
An check the Huns with red-hot guns,
An cheer and curse and choke.
But many lad feels laundering glad,
When the night lends sheltering
cloak,
To be overhauled by the chap he's
The bloomin' Red Cross bloke.
My own turn came-it's part of the
~~ game
In a scrap we had before Loos.
When the blinkin' Huns tried to pinch
the guns
Of the 15th-never mind whose.
They tried and tried, and you bet they
died,
While we lost many a chum.
When the message came through,
"Now lads, stand to"
And the next was, Here they
come"
We charged and yelled, an the line
we held,
But I don't remember the rest,
For the earth spun round, an | hit the
ground,
With daylight inside my chest.
When next I woke a Red Cross bloke
Was crossing that zone of death;
An | watched him come through that
shrapnel hum
Just watched and held my breath.
He reached my side with crawl and
glide,
AM / blessed his crimson crest,
When he'd made me snug with a
comfy plug
On the painful hole in my chest.
Then away he crept, and I must have
slept,
Bpt when I awoke with pain,
| was down at the base as a hospital
case,
An booked for "Blighty" again.
We landed all right on wet, stormy
nigh,
f But what did we care for the rain,
For Red Cross bloke fixed me up
with smoke
And slowed me away on the train.
So that's why Pm here; feeling shaky
and queer,
In this clinkin' Red Cross bed,
With Red Cross nurse, when I'm
feeling worse,
To lay cool things on my head.
An though it all seems to be part OF
my dreams,
Yet I know it is not all a hoax,
There are thousands today who are
ready to say,
THANK God for the Red Gross
blokes."

"The Man from Painted Post. !"

A treat is in store for the many
admirers of Douglas Fairbanks in
The Man from Painted Post" COM
ing to the Grand Tuesday. The
scenario for this production was writ
ten by Douglas himself and is based
on jackson Gregory's recent maga-
zine story, "Silver Slippers" In the
role of Fancy Jim Sherwood, the i'm
maculate dude who wipes out power
full gang Of cattle rustlers, the smiling
star offers Characterization that will
meet with favor among patrons of
clean pictures. t'The Man from Paint
ed POST is unlike any previous Fair
banks vehicle in that it affords him an
opportunity to display actual histrion-
ic talent in addition to his remarkable
athletic prowess. Contrasting with the
many humorous situations of the
Fairbanks variety are scenes of deep
dramatic interest which enables the
versatile Douglas to prove his ability
as an actor.

Honey for Farm Homes.
Demonstrating Agent for Ascensiol

Our problem is to feed our Allies
this winter by sending them as much
food as we can Of the most concen-
trated nutritive value in the least
shippping space. Among these foods
is sugar. Honey is delightful and
economical substitute for sugar that
has allthe delicious fiower-sweetness
added to it. It is free from adultera-
ton when delivered to man and Tor
that reason is in many ways better
than sugar. 1t may be usea 10 70
canning, baking and on raw fruits, in
addition to being used as a spread on
bread. If you do not have a swarm
on the farm, it is advisable, in most
cases, to get one. See that it goes in
to winter in good condition and next
spring be ready to care for othel
| swarms. In this way, shortage o.
sugar need have no terrors for you.

widely and prominently connected
throughout the state. Mrs. Thomas
was the widow of the late General Al
len Thomas, who played an important
part in the civil war. Among her
most cherished possessions were the
certificates whereby her husband was
named by the war department of the
Confederate States of America to be
colonel of the Twenty-ninth Louisiana
Regiment and a later certificate COM

tinguished and gallant services he was
made brigadier general.

place in Ascension, "New Hope, Cen
eral and Mrs. Thomas came to New

the position of coiner Of the mint.
Later Mrs. Thomas accompanied her
husband to Venezuela, to which coun-
try he had been named united states

with England over the Venezuela
boundary line. General and Mrs.
Thomas resided in Florida, coming to
New Orleans in 1907.

"Countess Charming.'

"The Countess Charming" which
the Grand announces as its Monday
attraction, is bound to charm. The
story is original and told with high
constructive skill The settings are
admirably chosen and photographed; !;
the types are all good; the handling
that of fine craftsmanship. Julian Ell
einge, famous impersonator of female
characters, plays the leading role, that
of bright young man not in an ex-
elusive set, who, in retaliation for
social snub, adopts an amusing
method of turning the tables on
snobbery.
