MISS NELL MAE WILSON.

On Monday, November 25, 1918
just before high noon, the Grim
Reaper visited the home of Mrs. Alice
Wilson, and took from her her only
daughter, Nell Mae
Miss Nell was known to nearly
every citizen of Covington. and there
was no one who knew her that did
not love her. She was of a most
cheerful disposition, always kind and
sweet to those with whom she came
in contact. She will be missed by
all, and we pray God that her soul
may receive the rich reward it SO
justly deserves.
She was 81 years, 6 months and 2
days of age, and native of New
Orleans, but had spent most of her
life in Covington. Interment took
Pace Tuesday, Nov Goth, in the Gov
ington Cemetery, Rev. Father John
Burger officiating.

People Asked To Redeem Pledges
War Savings Amount Is
Already Spent.

The week of November 25 to Nov.
20, was designated WAR Savings
Honor Week." Honor the soldiers
who won the war by filling your War
Savings Stamp pledge and by buying
additional War Savings Stamps. The
Government needs the money to feed
and clothe our soldiers and bring
them home.
AS a means of bringing the War
Savings campaign for 1918 to a sue
cessfu finish by December 81, State
Headquarters has announced that all
outstanding War Savings pledges
should be redeemed by Christmas, If
possible. This request has been
made that the six days between De-
cember 25th and 31st may be had to
secure whatever amount is needed,
after the pledges have been redeem
ed, to complete the States full al
lOtment.
People who have pledged to buy
War Savings Stamps by December 81
and who have not already done so
are urged to aid the campaign by
purchasing their stamps as soon as
possible and by making a determined
effort to buy them, at the latest, by
Christmas. Their attention has been
called to the fact that ther War Saw
ings pledge is solemn obligation
to the Government and that the Gov
eminent is expecting them to make
good their word even though an
armistice has been agreed upon and
the war may soon end.
State headquarters is reminding
the people of the fact that the war
is virtually over does not relieve
them from redeeming their War Saw
ings pledges On the other hand,
the Government took the work of the
people as their bond and has spent
the amount for which they pledged.

All of Louisiana was quarantined
on July 1, 1906. On December l the
territory that will have been released
will be "A parishes and four parts OF
parishes, leaving II parishes and
four parts still infested. The area
released will total BLOT square
miles, or 68 per cent of the state,
with 1882 square miles still under
quarantine.
Officials Of the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the Department of Agri-
culture see probability that the re-
naming portions of Louisiana can be
cleaned up in 1919, and the state
placed in the 100 per cent tick-free
class, like Mississippi in 1917 and
South Carolina this year. Continu-
ed effort under the Statewide tick
eradication law that went into effect
this year and continued interest on
the part of the individual farmers is
expected to bring about this result.
Tick eradication was preached to
Louisiana livestock raisers for years,
and much preliminary work was
done before the cleanup campaign
started. Half of the parishes start
ed to Danish the parasite before the
compulsory law was passed.
World Needs Live Stock.
The Importance, in a national and
International sense, of the campaign
against the tick was indicated in a
recent statement by Secretary Hous-
ton to the farmers and agricultural
forces of the United States. He said:
For a considerable period, the
world will have need of larger sup
ply than normal Of live stock, especi-
ally of fats. We should not fail,
therefore. to adopt every feasible
means of economically increasing our
livestock products. AS a part OF
our program we should give due
thought to the securing of an ade-
quate supply of feed stuffs and to
the eradication and control of al:
forms of animal disease"
States besides Louisiana benefit
ting from this years release are Ala
