ment supervision, Mr.. Basin, the Sec
rotary Of the Police Jury having as
sumed the head during the interim.
Since Mr.. Blake's arrival he has been
accompanied to different parts Of the
Parish BY Mr.. Basin who il introducing
him to the local officers in charge and
by the end Of the year Iberia Parish will
be declared absolutely tick free, unless
something else occurs to hinder the inn

now with all Of the additional vats and
other regulations fully carried out on
the part Of the inspectors that our people
a. = whole viii work in harmony until
iberia is declared tick free. It behooves
al owners Of stock to put no further inn
pediments in the way Of the Government
work and have the thing done with, once
and forever. Thousands Of dollars have
been spent since the determination OF the
cattle tick has begun in this Parish, and
unless it il completed this year 30 - 10

years for the Parish to overcome the
great outlay made to carry out this gil
gantic undertaking.

The practice of permitting children
to handle and otherwise play with fire
arms, especially % callibre rifles will
yet lead to some child, or may be adult
being seriously wounded or killed. Last
Sunday evening one of these accidents
happened here that came near causing
the serious injury of Joe Jones a Cyriaa
child of about fourteen years. The dis
charged weapon was in the hands of a
boy named Johnnie Tortamase, supposed
to be about twelve years old. The bull
let passed through the heshy part of the
arm of Jones and striking rib, lost its
force. Fortunately for the child he was
not seriously wounded. The shootina
however created much excitement in the
neighborhood until it was found the
boys life was in no danger. According
to some of the bystanders Jones was on
his horse at the time he was shot-and
had been commanded to get down. With
those words the trigger was pulled and
the bullet found Judgment in the boys
arm. Had not the officers been in nea,
vicinity and arrested the lad who COM
mitted the offense, it would have re-
suited in serious trouble between the
relatives Of the two boys. Owing to tn.
Juvenile Law-it was not within the pro-
vince of the Court to prosecute the boy,
and he was at once freed. The lad who
did the shooting had been swapping the
trigger which failed to discharge the bull
let, and the impression is that he little
thought the gun would fire. Be - It
may in the future any boy found dis
charging any kind Of a fire arm within
the corporate limits ought to be subject
to arrest-at least the weapon should be
confscated and thrown into the river
whether the parents approve of it or not

Calls On 100000 Amer
leans to Match Him
With a Liberty"
BANKS HAVE BEEN
LOYAL TO CAUSE
BY The United Press.

DI AAr Dn4il4 EANaaa
WASHINGTON. May 4 - President
Wilson today called upon 100000
Americans 10 match him with a $50
Liberty Bond-s5 down ana s. a month.
Insugurating a buy another bond
cam iign starting today, the President,
afteN purchasing all the jon1 he felt
ne could, got another $50 on the IN
stallment plan. providing a million peo-
ple in the country would go with him
on the proposition.
With about a half billion dollars yet
40 20 the President believes that at
least S5OoOO,OOO can be raised through
the cooperation OF a million Americans
willing 20 get another bead with
him.
To date 100000 Americans have pur-
chased bonds-thrce million subscribers
more than lin the second loan. But the
per capita subscription, owing to the
failure OF many to respond, has failed
10 put the loan "over" TO date.
Now the Geld has been combed Tor
an except the banks. who so largely
foated the FIRST and second loans. Onls
extra effort ana further sacrifice b,
individuals viii prevent turning t'
banks for most Of the balance now.
But this loan, with iis vast subscrip
ton list, is leaving the country In splen
did financial condition. according to OF
fcers OF the Federal Reserve Board.
Cleaning Of q few more "slacker dol
lars" and the loan will be almost en-
tirely subscribed by the people withou
the aid Of banks.
They viii be stronger than ever In IN
face Of possible future demands OF IN
government, it is stated.
