Louisiana Steers Sell at So. 40.
Three cars of louisa

Three cars of Louisiana
steers averaged TAT pounds. and
sold here yesterday at $40 per
cwt., the highest price on record
for quarantine cattle from the
above State, and surprising the
previous record of last year by
soc per cwt. These cattle were
bred, raised and fed at Whitehall
Ranch, Richland parish, managed
and partly owned by E. D. Baker,
a former Illinoisan, who was a
witness to the sale of the stock
yesterday. They were the COM
mon breed of Louisiana steers,
and, as Mr.. Baker remarked,
were a product of the swamps. "
They had been on feed of 5 lbs.
of cotton seed meal per head per
day and all the corn ensilage they
could eat for 100 days. During
this period they gained about 212
lbs. per head per day, Mr.. Baker
said. This shipment was given
quick handling over the Iron
Mountain Railway from Mang-
ham, La, a distance of 600 miles.
They arrived here in good shape,
and after their fill here showed a
loss of only 60 lbs. per head from
home weights, a surprisingly
light shrink for. this class of cat
tie and the distance hauled.
In the production and market
ing of these cattle, a record price,
Whitehall ranch has added an
other forceful bit of evidence as
to the live stock possibilities Of
}, Louisiana and the rapid progress
of the industry in that State

There's No Need to Worry.

Some people seem to think that
S declaration of peace in Europe
would be the signal for the bot
tom to drop out of the live stock
market in the United States. 1t
is more than probable, however,
that exactly the reverse would
be the case. Germany and Aus
tria have not been indulging in
meat for some time, while Eng
land, France and the rest Of the
entente powers have practically
used up their home supplies and
are now depending on imports.
Should peace be declared tomor-
row and the ocean be free to
freighters, those meat hungry
people from one end of Europe
to the other would create such a
demand for American meats that
prices would more than likely adj
vance sharply instead of decline.
Peace is probably a long way of
but anyone who thinks the end
of the war would mean the end
of high priced live stock in the
United States has another think
coming. For some years after
the war Europe will need more
American meat than ever and i
is up to the producers of this
country to be prepared to supply
this foreign demand. -Journa

Mrs. Paul Capdeville Dead.

Mrs. Marie Capdeville, aged &c
years, churchworker and promi-
nent in many charitable endeav-
ors, died at her home in the city
of New Orleans on Monday, Feb.
5. She was married nearly fifty
years ago to Paul Capdeville, for
some time mayor Of New Orleans,
and now State Auditor. This
couple was very prominent and
kind in helping the Grant parish
prisoners who were arrested on
account of the Colfax Riot in 1873,
and the older citizens hereabouts
have a warmplace in their hearts
for them, and will feel truly sor'
ry to hear that death has sepa
rated the kindly old couple. She
is survived by her husband anC
six children.

Pine Men Met in New Orleans.

New Orleans, Feb. THE an
nual convention of the Southern
Pine Association, organized two
yeart ago to promote the interest
of Southern yellow pine and to
exploit its advantages as the most
useful and generally used wood
manufactured, opened Tuesday
in the auditorium Of the Grune-
valid hotel. Between 400 and 500
delegates registered.
P. S. Gardiner, of Eastman,
Gardiner & Co., Laurel, Miss,
first vice president, presided in
the absence of Chas. S. Keith, OF
Kansas City. president, who is
seriously i'll. The afternoon ses'
sion is being presided over b.
John Henry Kirby. head of the
Kirby Lumber Co., Of Houston.
Following the usual prelimina
ries, j. E. Rhodes, secretary
treasurer, with headquarters il
New Orleans, presented his re
port. Mr.. Rhodes covered in de
tail the great volume of worl
done since the organization wa
formed and outlined plans for fu
ture activities. The financial re
port showed the Southern Pin
Association to be in excellent con
dition, and judged by the report
of the secretary-ma and tn
financial statement the organiza
ton and the industry have no
suffered materially as a result 0
the European war.

To Reduce Number Of Drugs.

1t is practically impossible for the
average physician to familiarize him.
self with the four thousand or five
thousand drugs and drug preparations
in everyday use in this country. The
number of such substances also mill.
tates against their intelligent use by
the practicing physician and their cor.
rect preparation and dispensing by
pharmacists. In order to meet this sit
uation, committee of the American
Medical association some time ago
drew up list of about four hundred
and fifty drugs and preparations, Sc.
lected on account of their wide use,
with view to concentrating the atten.
ton of everybody concerned upon
these important medicines. According
to the public health reports, revi-
sion Of this list has just been under.
taken, and criticism of the list is now
constituted is sought by the American
Medical association.

A Feeder to the Jefferson Highway

The plans are on foot Tor a
model highway in which Jackson,
Lincoln, VIM and Grant parishes
are interested. The project is to
connect the towns of Ruston.
Jonesboro and Winfield with a
model road, intersecting the JET
ferson Highway at Colfax. Meet
ings have been held at Jonesboro,
Ruston and other points about
the matter. but as yet we have
seen no definite action towards
voting the necessary taxes to
build such a road.
For the information of our
VIM, jackson and Lincoln par
ish friends, we call attention to
an advertisement now running in
the Chronicle for an election to
be held on Tuesday, March Ii, to
vote on the proposition of issuing
bonds to build the Jefferson High
way AND other roads in Grant
parish. Among the roads pro-
posed is a 12-mile stretch from
Verda to Colfax, which is identi-
cal with the road our North Lou
isiana friends have outlined.
The people of Grant parish are
enthusiastic over the proposition
to issue bonds for the building o.
the system of roads proposed
and the election for that purpOs'
will be carried beyond any doubt
So the prospect is that Grant par
ish will sell her bonds and buil'
her roads during the current yea
1917. We hope VIM and tn
parishes north of us will NOV
with equal celebrity in this impor
tant matter, and that the curren
year will see this desired connec
ton completed.

To Persons Who Want to Vote.

In order to vote in the special
election to be held March Ii, for
the purpose of determining the
issue of bonds to build the Jeffer-
son Highway and other roads
outlined in road district eight, it
is necessary for every one to
register.
The law on the subject says:
mo person shall be permitted to
register within thirty days of any
general or primary election. I"
We call attention to the fact that
as February only has % days in
it, the last day on which any one
can register in order to vote in
the district eight election on
March IL, is Saturday, Feb. 10.
There is some question as to
the law applying to Special
elections; also as to the thirty.
day limit being strictly construed
as applying to the month of Feb.
ruary (some holding that a party
registering on Feb. IL would be
entitled to vote on March 13),
but it is safest to steer clear OF
all such technicalities.

California Orange Day, March 10.

California Orange Day, March 10.
Saturday, March 10, has been
announced as California Orange
Day and will be celebrated
throughout the country by hotels,
restaurants, commission houses,
grocery stores, refreshment par
lors and in Railroad dining cars
and dining stations.
On that day it is hoped that
every man, woman and child will
consume at least one orange, as
a reminder that this is one Of the
most healthful of all food pro-
ducts. The orange can be pre-
pared deliciously in so many diff
ferent styles that a great num-
Der of people utilize them fol-
each meal of the day regularly.
Orange Day. is a fixed ami
versary with a multitude of PEG.
pie and this year the number OF
participants bids fair to exec
any previous record.

To Get the Tick Early.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The dip
ping of cattle in the tick infested
areas will begin earlier than usual
this year, it is announced. There
are now 14.247 watts in commits
sion and it will be possible with
these to dip over million cattle
each month. 1t is planned to be-
gin the work as soon as possible
after March l in order to catch
the first generation of the ticks
Matched in the spring before they
have had time to lay eggs. In
this way it is hoped to release
much territory early in the fall.
There is indeed reason to be-
lieve that 1917 will see more ter
ritory freed from the pest than
any year since systematic tick
eradication was begun. Each
county released from quarantine
is an object lesson to its neigh
bors, and in recent years popular
interest in the movement has
been growing.
One evidence of this is the ac-
ton of the people in Mississippi
in making eradication a State in
stead of a county matter. Under
this law systematic dipping will
be conducted this season in each
of the thirty counties in the State
still under Federal quarantine.
In this area there are approx
mately $50, 600 cattle and 2,7OO
watts will be operated.
The work in Mississippi. it is
pointed out, will drive a wedge
of tick-free area right down to
the Gulf. The army of ticks will
be cut in half-to be destroyed
piecemeal hereafter-and high
road for cattle from the freed
areas will be opened to the mar
kets of the north.
In the other States east of the
Mississippi the campaign of Grad
ication is to be pushed vigorously
by counties. In South Caroline
only ten counties remain infested
, and in all of these it is planned
: to commence systematic dipping
on March 1. West of the Missis
: sippi the problems of eradication
in Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklaho
ma and Texas was discussed at
, conference held recently in Dal
: las, Texas. Louisiana, like Miss
! issippi, has made eradication
State matter. The work will b
carried on in the other States b.
, counties.
