a word-and-picture story of the
triumphant invasion of the French
capital by our troops. 1t will show
all the memorable events attending
the Yanks' arrival and stav in Paris:
the audience will hear and see how
Parisians and Parisiennes feted the

cared for and how they spent their
leisure hours.
The calibre of the Burton Holmes

need any elaboration on that subject.
Suffice it to say that this lecture,
the second of the series here, will be
equally as entertaining as the one
which preceded it last sunday and

Loew's Columbia-Pauline Frederick
In "a Daughter of the Old South,

Beginning today Pauline Frederick
will be seen at Loew's Columbia in
the photoplay "a Daughter of The
Old South" in which she plays as
Creole girl possessing all the tradi-
tional characteristics of her Spanish
ancestors, plus a very modern idea
of woman's freedom in choosing who
is to be her husband.
Miss Frederick is without a doubt
the ideal person to successfully portray
the authors complex character which
Dolores Jardine embodies. She rebels
against her forced marriage to the
man of her grandfather's choice and
very naturally substitutes in her af-
fections young novelist whom she
really loves.
The eternal triangle is doubled in
the plot of the engrossing story which
is woven about Dolores, and in her
attempt to prove the mettle of the
man she really loves. she discovers
his truly lacking character and a near
tragedy is averted by the appearance
of her fiance.
The clever story permits Miss
Frederick to exercise her remarkable
ability in mastering emotional parts.
The outcome of the tangled situation
- AOA q must hlllnS CuIldA ySul
receives most natural solution and
establishes Dolores in the affections
of all. Rex McDougal appears
opposite Miss Frederick and adds
force to her portrayals.
A Daughter OF The Old South" will
be shown until Thursday when Loew's
Columbia will present William S.
Hart in Branding Broadway" for the
last half of the week.
Next week. beginning Sunday,
Ioews Columbia will show Wallace
Reid in Too Many Millions" until
Thursday. when Enid Bennett will

100. 900 WOMEN. TO REMAIN IN
RAILROAD JOBS.

Washington, Nov. 2Sth.-Women
railroad employees, about 100000 in
number. who were added to the pay
rolls on account of the war, mainly
as clerks and stenographers, prob
ably will be retained permanently, it
was said today at headquarters of the
railroad administration.
Specific action in this regard will
be left to individual railroads, but
administration officials who made a
survey of the employment situation
believe the demand for labor during
the readjustment period will be so
great that it will be not only desir-
abe but necessary to retain the wo-
men employees.

SAVE YOUR EXHIBIT; TWO MORE
FAIRS.
Prevent Weevils BY The Use OF Com
mon Gasoline.

Now that the fair has been post
lected and prepared should not be
carelessly put aside. The 1O-ear ex-
hibits of corn will be good seed and
should be preserved from weevils.
The peas or beans selected will make
better planting seed than unsolicited
seed. The pigs that have been
pushed" for the fair should continue
to be "pushed''-but do not make
them too fat on corn. Give some
wheat bran or shorts or quarter
pound daily of high grade cottonseed
meal with slops. This amount is for
1OO-pound hog. This makes a
very good hog feed. Its use should
be for four weeks and then discon-
tinued for one week. Too much feed
for long period is dangerous.
A state corn show will be held in
December or January, and very large
premiums will be paid. The best
five or ten exhibits of corn from club
members of this parish are wanted
for this fair. Again, there may be
Spring Festival or Victory Fair at
Covington in few months from now.
If so, club exhibits will be wanted
there as much as at the fall fair.
Preserve the exhibits. Put seed
corn and 10-ear exhibits in tight
barrel or box, put a plate full Of
gasoline on top of corn, cover bar
rel or box with oil cloth or paper,
tightly. Leave for three days, then
uncover to let "air" for half day.
Then cover again tightly. Don't go
near barrel or box with a torch, lamp
or match while undergoing treat
ment. Two tea cups of gasoline
should be enough for -four barrel
of corn on ear, or one teacupfull for
shelled corn or peas. But the barrel
mus. be air tight to be effective.
High life' used in the above way is
the standard remedy. 1t may be
purchased at drug stores. 1t is in
expensive but economical. Gasoline
is effective and cheaper and more
convenient to get So the John D."
solution is good for several things
besides hustling road !ouses" over
the hills.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.

No; the schools are not closed.
1t is not thought there is any good
reason to close them.
Pupils not in school manage to go
to the skating rink.
No; the flu and yellow fever are
not the same thing.
The flu and cholera are not re-
lated.
No; YOU can't catch the flu from
the films at the picture show, even
though they come from infected
places. They move so fast the germs
can't jump off.
Anybody who hasn't had the flu
and wants to prove that it can be
caught in Covington can prove it by
running up and down the street hol-
lering murder. But you must keep
your mind on the flu at the same
time-and wipe your mouth with
borrowed handkerchief.

Meeting and Pass
Resolutions.
PANICKY FEELING OF
PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE
Candy Bought Will Be Sold
On Columbia Street
To-Day.

The postponing of the parish fair
was great disappointment to those
who had looked forward to making
it one of the best, but the general
public seemed to oppose it, through
fear that more flu might be brought
in, that the officials finally passed the
following resolutions and ordered the
grounds closed:
Whereas, the present unsettled
weather conditions as also the unsat-
isfactOry health conditions of the
parish are unfavorable to the hold
ing of the Parish Fair on November
%, 80, 80, and December /, 1918,
and,
Whereas, the holding of the said
Fair under the aforenamed condi-
tons and dates will in all probability
result in a moral and financial fail
ure; therefore
Be it it resolved, That the St.
Tammany Parish Fair, fixed for Nov.
%, 20, 80, and Dec. l, 1918, be post
poned unto some more favorable time
and opportunity.
The motion to adopt the above
resolution was made by DR.. A. G..
Maybe, seconded by Mrs. B. B. War
rem, and carried without a dissent
ing vote.
Some expenses were incurred,
among them the purchase of about
$4,000 worth of candy and horse
racing machine. In order that the
candy may not be loss it has been
decided to use the racing machine
to dispose of the candy. So all loyal
citizens will have an opportunity to
pay the races to-day, on Columbia
street, near Watkins City Drug
Store. Just walk up to the machine
and place your bets. Some of you
will win boxes of candy and some
must lose, but you will have fair
chance and if you are lucky at play
ing the races and fond of little
gamble you will get your moneys
worth. At least you will be helping
the fair.
No announcement has been made
as to just when the fair will be
put on.

LOUISIANA WILL,
SOON BE- FREE
OF CATTLE
Largest Territory Ever Lib
Grated In Year In
One State.
12,742,151 DIPPINGS OF
CATTLE IN LOUISIANA
Records Broken By State
For Number of Cattle
Dipped All Year.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 27-Lou-
isiana takes high honors in the re-
lease from cattle fever tick quaran-
tines authorized for December l in
an order signed by Secretary of Agri-
culture D. F. Houston.
In the first place, the amount OF
territory to be freed in Louisiana
23,492 square miles-is the largest
grossly infested area ever released in
one year in any one state since the Co
operative State and Federal fight
against the parasite began in 1906.
The next largest release of territory
was that of 1888 square miles in
Mississippi in 1917.
Furthermore, Louisiana has not
only set the high mark for the num-
ber of cattle dipped this year, but it
has broken all records for all years.
In the first ten months of 1918 Fed
eral, State and county inspectors
supervised 12,742,141 dippings OF
cattle in Louisiana. The next larg-
est number of dippings in one State
in one year was 7,O29,272, the mark
set by Mississippi in 1917.
If these figures do not indicate that
release orders follow the dipping vat,
consider this: The amount of terri
tory released this year in nine states
1921 square miles-is the great
est on record. And the number OF
dippings in all tick-infested territory
in the first ten months of 1913 also
is the greatest on record-39, ,263, 1867
exceeding more than ten million
the number for the entire year
of 1917.
