INVITES
COOPERATION
OF PEOPLE
tBy DIR. Claude Sevey)

The eyes of the world are look
ing to the South today to increase
its milk and meat supply, SO that
we can raise what We conusme, and
in addition help supply our boys at
the front.
The grand old State OF Louisiana
answered the call July 25, 1917,
when she placed on her statute
books the statewide Tick Eradica-
ton Law, and resolved to make the
state tick-free by December /, 1918.
thus adding millions of dollars of
meat and milk to the food supply Of
the world.
The cattle tick is a sordid para
site and an ally of the Keiser. To
effect it's determination isn't the
most palatable job. But this 1oath
some parasite is less sordid than the
Kaiser, whose unspeakable crimes
against the young boys and girls of
it's conquered territory we can only
bring to halt by providing for our
boys who have enlisted to destroy
this Prussian monster. Let us see
to it that there is a dipping vate, by
April l, 1918, in the reach of every
COW who is an unwilling host for
this detestfble ally of our enemy.
! believe the people of St. Tam
many are Just as anxious as l am to-
see that we go over the top with
the lba lance of the parishes of this
state and are declared tick free BY
December 1, 1918. 1t is a big job
to do this. 1t is every mans re-
sponsibility who owns a COW to see
that all cattle are dipped at regular
intervals of every fourteen days
throughout the dipping season, start
ing not later than April 1, 1913,
and if this is done by December. l
the cattle tick will have ceased it's
sordid existence and ST. Tammany
parish will be white spot on the
map.
The taxpayers are paying the cost
of the campaign, and the stock rails
ers will get out of it just what they
put into it. Let's work together
with the determination to extermi'.-
ate the cattle tick in the shortest
possible time at the least expense
to the taxpayers.

PERKINS MAKES
EXCELLENT TALK
War Cannot Be Won Unless
Farmer Raises Food for
Soldiers and Allies.

Notwithstanding the extensive adj
vertisement of the speaking to take
place at the courthouse Wednesday,
February l3, the crowd was very
small. 1t was especially desired
that the farmers of the parish should
be informed on the topics discussed,
because upon their cooperation and
industry largely depends the sue cess

tion and representing the Federal
Government, was sent in his stead
He gave an interesting and practical
talk on increased food production
and urged especially the raising Of
hay and velvet beans.
Judge Prentiss B. Carter spoke on
patriotic lines, and there was much
in his talk that touched the hearts
of his hearers and brought reali-
Zation of what a wonderful thing
true patriotism is and what wonder
full sacrifices can be cheerfully made
under its influence.
The Council then went into busi-
ness session and Mrs. 4. L. Eear
was made secretary of the meeting.
The Social Service and Relief Com.
mittee gave lengthy report on work
accomplished and impressed every
one with the importance and need

Mouth Veil Is Latest.

Just to prove that variety is all
that is needed in the world of fashion
to interest femininity, gaze on the new
wells which are designed for afternoon
and evening wear and already show
signs of becoming popular. The new
veil swathes the lower half of the
face, giving the upper half a rest, and
reaches from the tip of the nose to
far below the chin. Smart women are
probably growing tired of the nose
veil and the veil for the chin and
mouth will doubtless be a welcome
change. The harem veil, which made
its appearance last summer on the
bathing beaches, suggested the new
one and the designers, disregardlng
the original purpose of the beach veil
as a protector from the sun, are US
ing the idea for evening wear. It is
never worn with a hat and is tied
about the head like scarf.

Marooned ON an Island.

David Crotch, a stenographer of
Jonesboro, Ark, who was found ON a
small island in the Shoshone river near
Cody, Wyo., told a weird story of hav-
ing been marooned for % days on the
island within sight of a wagon road
over which people were constantly
travelling. During this time he said
his only nourishment was water.
Crotch said he had been working on
a ranch near Cody and went to Cody
for a visit. He set out for a walk to-
ward the river when his memory left
him. When he regained consciousness
he found himself on the island, 200
rods below a wagon bridge. He could
not swim and the current was too swift
for him to wade. Finally. Grootch
said, he became so weak he could not
stand, and lay helpless in the under
brush until a passerby saw him.

Dress in London.

Something might be said of the
changes that three years of war have
brought about in our clothes. Evening
dress is not abolished, but it is becom-
ing much less customary in theaters
and restaurants, and people coming
up to London who used to bring eve
ming clothes with them no longer do
so. Stiff white collars are disappear
Ing, and the soft collar is worn by all
classes. The democratic process had
already set in at the house of COM
mons. One remembers the shock that
Mr.. Kerr Hardies cloth cap created ON
its first appearance there, but it has
advanced immensely since the war be-
gan. Frock coats are in a small and
die-hard minority. Spats are on their
last legs. Top hats survive miraculous
ly, it might seem, until one remembers
their enduring qualities, so that their
persistence is only a form of war
economy after ALL
