TIP CARR SUFFERS
SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Wednesday afternoon, while driving
a wagon loaded with seed rice from
Welsh to the Carr farm northwest of
town, Tip Carr had the misfortune to
be thrown from the wagon beneath
the wheels, suffering a broken and
bruised thigh. Tip left town early
in the evening with the load of rice,
and his wife and father, Mr.. C. E..
Carr following in the auto about an
hour later came across him in the
road, lying in a dazed state. They
picked him up and brought him back
to Welsh, where DR.. Arceneaux exam
ined his injuries reporting that the
bone of his left thigh was broken
just below the hip. Thursday morn
ing he was taken to Crowley where
the injuries were examined by the
IX-ray.
Tips only explanation of the acct
dent is that an automobile rushed by
him at a rapid speed, frightening the
mules, and they jumped, throwing
him beneath the wagon. He does moi
know who was driving the car.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carr were marie.
only a week ago last Saturday. Mrs
Carr was formerly Miss Mary Schmitt
both of the young poole are popular
members of the younger set, ant
this shadow of pain thus cast acros
their honeymoon is sad news to thei
many friends.

TICK ERADICATION
CHEMICALS RECEIVED

DR.. Fisher Of the department OF |
tick eradication announces that the
supply of chemicals to be used in the
cattle dipping operations this season
were received Monday and will be
stored for use during the season at
the numerous watts throughout the
parish.
The shipment included arsenic, 5000
pounds; sal soda, 6O0O pounds; costic
soda, 5000 pounds and pine tar $50
gallons. jennings ana Welsh are the
distributing points for these supplies
and one-naif Of the chemicals will be
stored at eacn place. II the ticks In
the parish are able to consume more
of these appetzmg chemicals during
the season, more will be secured, but
1t is presumed that the present sup.
ply will be entirely sufficient to free
the cattle Of the parish from the pes
tiforous little parasites that Is SUCH =
burden on he industry.
Dipping starts April 18th, and q,
present competent inspectors are being
selected in each ward of the parish t
cooperate with the departments in
spector, for the effective carrying out
of the seasons work. There are a.;
present tWenty-three standard watts IL
the parish, and for the convenience Of
the work about sixty will be needed
Dr.. Fisher says that although he does
not expect that all of the vats will b.
ready by the time the dipping starts
every community will be convenient,
supplied.
The stock raisers of the parish arr
as rule heartily in accord with tn
| work and although a little opposition
NOV arise among a few individual
who 40 not fully appreciate the uitl
mate value of tire work, no trouble I
a"+iciDotnd in carrying out the plan
to the letter.

R. r. ROUTES NO. 2 and 8
NEED MORE SUPPORT
Patrons of These Routes Should Look
to their Perpetuation.

Miss Teresa Stewart, postmistress
at Welsh, has been advised by the
United States Postal Department that
after due and careful consideration of
the reports of Routes Nos. 2 and 8
from the Welsh office, for the provis-
ional six months of tri-weekly SER
vice, that these routes will be discon-
tinued June list, unless the patronage
on the routes increases very much.
This bit of news comes as a disa-
greeable shock, in as much as it was
understood that daily srvice would
begin on these routes on July 1st.
Miss Stewart suggests as one
means of making a better showing on
the routes, that farmers who have
tenants should erect separate boxes
for them, thus increasing the number
of boxes. She trusts that the people
living along the routes which are in
jeopardy will see the importance of
patronizing the tri-weekly service so
that the daily service can be estal,-
lished.
The carrier on these routes IS
pretty deeply interested in their per-
petuation, but he thinks it is up to
the patrons and those who should
eventually become patrons to make the
initial effort. To put it plainly he
says he can get another job, but the
residents of the sections traversed
by these routes will stand a slim
E chance of getting the routes re-es-
tablished, once they are allowed to &c
by default.
We can see his point all to plainly,
, too. 1t is a we'll known fact that the
: service has not been what the patron:
of the routes would like it to be, w
! to the present, but it must be taker
into consideration that obstacles havt
! been encountered on every hand. II
- the first place tri-weekly service il
only makeshift at best, but the de
partment decided that this plan mus
be carried out temporarily, and i
served as a start. When the road
