chaux, and Miss Helen Stowe, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. E. Stowe of

To the Public.

1t having been alleged that samples
of certain products distributed recent
ly in New Orleans and elsewhere were
found to contain poisonous germs, we
deem it well to assure the public that
no fear of such a danger need be en-
tertained as regards the samples of
Mackie's Pine Oil given away by our
representative. Being germicide,
with four times the co-efficiency of
carbolic acid, it would be absolutely
impossible, in the first place, to i'm
pregnate this oil with germs, a fact
which of course will be perfectly ap-
parent to every thinking person. Be
sides this, Mackie's Pine Oil is a Lou
isiana product, manufactured right
here in the state under our immediate
supervision, and has behind it home
people of the highest standing, whose
positive guarantee assures the purity
of every bottle sold and every sample
distributed. Respectfully,

Mohawk Tribe Pays Honor to -
Members Serving Uncle Sam.

Promptly at the eighth run, setting
', of the sun, on Tuesdays sleep, the
9th sun, TUESDAY, Nov. 27, at s p,
m. the council fire of Mohawk Tribe
No. 33, Improved Order of Red Men
was kindled by Sachem John Pfster
Jr., with all the chiefs at their sta
tions. Great Sachem G.. P. Reynolds
of New Orleans being present, he
was escorted by Great Senior Saga
more Dr. Paul T. Thibodaux to seat
of honor next to the presiding officer
One application for adoption was re-
ceived, balloted on favorably, and the
paleface being in waiting, the adop-
ton degree was conferred upon him.
Nominations of chiefs to serve for
the ensuing six months being declared
in order, the following were noini-
mated without opposition: Morris P.
Oubre, sachem; Terrier P. Blanchard,
senior sycamore; John Pfster, Jr.,
prophet; Charles A. Gaudin, chief of
records; F. L. Trepagnier, keeper of
wampum; Sidney Harp, trustee. The
only office for which there is opposi-
ton is that Of junior sycamore. Geo.
Pfster and Aleyis Collet were nomi-
mated, and the tribe is to decide next
Tuesday which of the two will occupy
this important position.
The service flag donated by Great
Senior Sycamore Thibodaux was pre-
sented to the tribe by him with suita-
bic remarks, and was accepted on be-
half OF the organization by Sachem
Phster, who eloquently praised the
patriotism of those who have gone to
the front in defense Of "Old Glory"
Mohawk has given thirteen of its
members to the different branches of
the army and navy service, and the
flag contains that number of stars. In
presenting the emblem, DR.. Thibo-
daux extolled the loyalty and courage
of the young men who have joined the
colors, and emphasized the fact that
Mohawk's members can always be re-
lied upon to respond to their country's
call and do their full duty in up
holding American rights. Brief adj
dresses in keeping with the spirit of
the occasion were made by S. A. Mar
chand, Judge Edmund Maurin and
80 Se1SHcLA 1lcyHOlQS.
With Junior Sycamore F. P. Blan-
ehard presiding at the piano, "Ameri-
ca" was sung by the entire tribe,
standing, in honor of their brothers in
the service.
A delegation from Delaware Tribe
No. So, Of Burton, composed Of julius
J. Jolly, chairman, Vic. Vidone and F.
j. Hebert being present to effect a
consolidation of the two tribes, met
similar committee from Mohawk
Tribe composed of Leon Weis,z chair
man, F. p. Blanchard and Chas. Gau-
din. The chairmen Of both commit
tees reported to Mohawk Tribe, and
the Delaware committee is to report
to its tribe next Thursday, and if the
terms of consolidation are agreeable,
to fix a date for that purpose in the
near future.
The great sachem granted a request
for dispensation for the month of
December, for class initiation, and
,omplimented Mohawk Tribe on the
admirable showing made within the
asst two months.
After the quenching Of the council
ire, refreshments were served in the |
ante-room. The attendance was the

squads of the high school cadet COM
pany. The winning squad will be
awarded an army canteen by the prin-
cipal, and the best-drilled individual
cadet Of that squad will receive a
knapsack. Captain Terrier Blanchard

ranged between the cadets of this
school and those Of the Reserve High
School. This event will take place
Sunday afternoon, Dec. Is, at the
South Louisiana Fair Grounds. The

Fund to Pay Soldiers Poll Taxes.

A fund has been started to pay poll
taxes Of Ascension's young men of
voting age who have entered the SER
vice OF Uncle Sam. The State Coun-
ell Of Defense suggested that this be
done, and the movement has been
successfully launched in several sec
tons of the state. The plan is one
that should commend itself to the
consideration of all patriotic citizens,
and it will be surprising indeed if the
response to the call is not immediate,
general and generous. The Chief
has been requested to act as treasurer
of the fund, and all contributions will
be acknowledged through these col
umns. The distinction Of originating
the movement in Ascension belongs to

A HATE SONG

We enter into conflict
To meet the test OF fate
And as we Join in battle
Our hearts are filled with hate
Grim hate that Will not falteF
Until our task is done
Hot hate that viii not alter
Until our fight is won.
We do not hate our foemen
Whose brains with hate are black
We only hate the horror
They wreak along our track,
We only hate the madness
With which their blows are hurled,
The ruin and the sadness
They've wrought upon the world
Ne hate the ruthless power
That drives them forth 10 slay.
That makes them blood-blind servant.
Beneath a tryrsnt's sway,
Their crimes shall long outliye them
And vet we hold this true
That they-may God forgive them
Know not the things they do.
We do not hate our foemen
And yet we go to war
! Hating the monstrous evil
That they are fighting for,
/ The vast and frenZied passion
| That seems insatiate,
And we shall battle onward
Till hate snail conquer hate.

In view of the increasing damage to
apples from the various kinds of aphids,
the publication already mentioned,
Farmers Bulletin S04, states that the
annual bud spraying Of apple orchards
appears to be good practice, and AZ
continued over series Of years would,
no doubt, prove profitable. The black
cherry aphis also causes a decided curl
ing of foliage on cherry trees and
should. therefore, be destroyed as soon
as the buds are breaking. The several
aphids which occur on the plum, and
the green peach aphis, do not curl the
foliage to the same extent as do some
of the apple aphids, and it usually VIII
be found satisfactory to spray the
trees after there are indications that
these insects are abundant, Where the
insects have proved troublesome regu-
larly, however, spring spraying may %
desirable. In the case of currants anu
gooseberries it is especially important
70 spray as the shoots are pushing out,
otherwise the insects will soon be pro-
teeted bv the distorted foliage. When
spraving is carried on later in the sea-
son the liquid should be directed up
ward TO wet the insects on the anuer
side of the leaves.
A detailed description of the char
acter and seasonal history of the more
important of the aphlu species is gwen

Hinds Of sprays containing stomach
poisons, such as Paris green, arsenate
OF lead, etc., are ineffective. To do
any good the sprays must come in con-
tact with the bodies Of the insects and
great theroughness in spraying is there
fore necessary.
There are large number of differ
emit kinds of aphids, one or more of
which may attack almost every form
of orchard and bush fruit. For the
most part, however, the same measures
of control are applicable to all the
species. Quite a number of the aphid
species winter in the egg stage on the
plants which they attack in the follow
ing spring. These may be controlled
successfully by spraying when the buds
first show green tips of the foliage. In
this way the first brood of the insects
| is killed and insurance is obtained
against injury later in the season. Ad.
ditional spraying may, however, be
necessary if the infestation is severe.
The importance early bud spraying is
greatest with those species of apids
whose attacks result in curling the
leaves of the plants on which they
feed. This curling serves to protect
the insects to a considerable extent
from the contact spray. Those species
which do not curl the leaves are more
easily controlled by sprays after it i:
