Systematic tick eradication has
,oen started and is now we'll under
vav in this parish, according to DR..
3. Z. Murphy of the Bureau Of Ami
nal Industry of the Department OF
Horticulture, who is spending several
weeks here to assist in the campaign
IF eradication recently begun in JEFF
'erson DAVIS.
More than 1000 thousand head of
,attle were dipped the early part OF
he week, and it is the opinion of DR..
Fisher that if the work begun is con-
;inued the parish will be free Of the
attic tick in the near future.
DR.. Fisher left Wednesday night for
Welsh where he goes to assist in dip
lng one thousand head of cattle which
viii be shipped to points in Texas.
This is the largest number of cattle
3ver shipped out of this parish at one
ime. The cattle will be shipped by
Nr. McBurney of near Welsh, one Of
he largest cattle dealers in this sec
ion. He has a contract. with a Texas
irm for the delivery of three thous-
md head.
D. C. Ritchie's farm, situated two
niles east of town was the scene Of
much activity from 6 o'clock this
morning until towards noon, upon the
occasion of the fortnightly dipping of
his cattle. His stock, numbering some
$50 head were dipped and, in addition,
nttle belonging to several of his
1eighbors who have not watts of their
own.
The process consists of driving the
animals to be treated, from an en-
closure through a short chute into
The vat which is deep enough to COM
pletely submerge them and mot wide
enough to permit them Of turning
around. The exit of the vat is in
Iclined, allowing the animals to walk
out unassisted after their antiseptic
bath and they never require urging at
that end although generally needing
encouragement to enter the vat.
Mr.. Richie is dipping his stock for
he second season and is a firm be-
lever in the efficiency and profitable
ness Of the method and feels conf
dent Of having thoroughly clean and
immune stock at the end of the pres
ent dipping season.

For he's marching the music of the MOTTO "Be Prepared

DECIDED IN FAVOR OF
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

Judge 0verton today handed down
a decision in the case of the Worth
ington Construction Co. VS. the Parish
of jefferson Davis in which he order
ed the parish to return to the said
company the deposit check which was
required by the bidder on roads con-
structed, and which has been In the
possession of the parish during the
| litigation.
Plaintiff company was one of the
bidders to construct good roads. Their
bid was declined by the parish along
with others and a supplemental bid
was called for. Plaintiff declined to
file a supplemental bid and asked to
be permitted to withdraw its check
! Plaintiff fled supplemental bid, SUBJ
shutting it for the first bid and cor
recting a mathematical error made in
the first. The Police Jury rejected all
supplemental bids and proceeded to
award the work on the original bids,
including plaintiffs bid Plaintiff pro-
tested but later consented. Some OF
the units CT the work called for IN the
specifications were not bid on by
plaintiff or the other contractors
These were left for future agreemen
The engineer and planting never
agreed on them. The contract sub
mitted aid not cover these units and
covered only eighty per cent of the
work.
On November 10, 1916 Modisette
and Adams, representing the Worth
ington Construction Company, advis-
ed the Police Jury that the contract
submitted would not be signed. The
Police Jury then notified plaintiff that
they would be given ten days in
which to sign same, and failure to do
so would forfeit their deposit check
Before the ten days were up the
plaintiff obtained writ of injunction,
restraining the parish and the bank
from cashing the check. On Novem-
Der 18th the parish formally declared
the check forfeited. The judgment OF
the court maintained the injunction
and ordered that the check be re,
turned to plaintiff, casting the parish
for costs.

ON FLOOD CONTROL
for costs,

The following is an editorial from
the st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat on the
Flood Control Bill on March %, 1917:
Saving the food control bill out Of
the mass of proposed legislation which
clogged Senate proceedings in the
closing hours Of the late session, was
something eliciting our commentator
and expression of our surprise at th
time. The surprise we find to have
been felt by strong supporters Of tbs
measure who had been actively inter
ested in the details of the work Il
bring it to a vote. It's failure, under
Senate rule, to pass the Senate after
having passed the House at the prev
ious session, left small room to hope
that in such a close as that made BY
the Senate of the Sixty-fourth Con-
gress, the bill could then run the
gauntlets Of Senate procedure.
The weight of credit for this bril-
liant achievement belongs to Sena-
tor Joseph E. Ransdell of Louisiana,
representing state which has been
among the greatest sufferers by Mis-
sissippi River floods, Senator Rams
dell had the incentive of desire to
save from further loss and suffering,
constituency appealing to him fol
protection against dangers constant
| ly threatening. Such an appeal could
not alone, however, have secured an
aggregate appropriation of $45,OOO,'
900 for food control. It was in the
collection, arrangement and forcefu
presentation of the facts proving that
the fioodswept states of. the Lower
Mississippi Valley are the victims, by
force Of geography, of q large ma.
iority of the other States whose
overflow waters despoil them, and II
his careful and conclusive compila
ton and citation of figures proving
that the work would be one Of .sucf
conservation value as to much more
than justify the cost, that the Louis
llama Senator overcame such sectional
opposition, as at one time existed
and won his cause.
The funds to be expended under thu
act will become available when thu
rivers and harbors and sundry civi
bills are passed during the extra seS
sion about to begin. For levee pro
lection work the law will be operative
from Rock Island to the head Of TIL
passes, where local interests con
tribute one-kah as much as mag b.
allotted by the Mississippi Rive
Commission. The act covers genera
improvement Of the river from tht
head of the passes, north to TIL
mouth Of the Ohio. It means con
servation Of valley resources am
promotion Of commerce and trafi,
by river and rail.

TO THE POTATO.

Twinkle, Twinkle, little spud,
AS up among the clouds you scud;
You are doubtless feeling gay,
Chasing around the milky way;
You have reached to such a height
You are surely out of sight,
Like a diamond now you seem
In price-and that's no dream.
Twinkle on another twink,
But you'll lrive us all to drink,
AS we chase for needful chink.
You are sailing rather high,
As YOU wink your shriveled eye,
Up there somewhere in the sky,
Sgud so mighty, tho so small,
You make diggers of US all;
Farmers dig you with a hoe,
While we have to dig for dough.
IF YOU keep on, I'll be bound,
You'll bring bullion pound for pound
You'll fulfill the adage old,
That you're worth your weight in gold.
Tuber, since the coop you flew,
We have only longed for you;
That our freside you fOresook,
Broke our hearts and pocketbOok.
Never felt how we could love
Till you left and went above;
Never felt no wdear you were,
TIL we paid three dollars per,
SMALL potato, please come back,
Tor your presence we so pine,
That our stomach hits our spine,
Ne are tired of eating greens,
5tewed prunes, sauerkraut and beans
It's for you alone we yearn,
Darling later, please return. Elk
