creased slightly. The total dippings
in this state from March l to De-
eember l were 14,727,002 cattle and
101.074 horses, with an addition OF
309,051 horses which were inspected
but not dipped. Such record can be
made only by the hearty cooperation
OF the stock owners and to them the
credit is due.
While it has been necessary to re-
sort to the courts in some instances,
these have been few compared to the
great number of stock owners who
willingly dipped their cattle. With
a few exceptions the judges and dis
trict attorneys have performed their
duties manfully and meted out to
violators such punishment as they

APPEAL, JEWISH
WAR RELIEF, BY
KNIGHTSOF
COLUMBUS
Drive To Be Made On JAN
uary 9th to 18th To
Raise Funds.
STRONG APPEAL FOR
WORTHY CAUSE
All Denominations To Be
Asked To Contribute to
Relieve Suffering.

To Our Friends in St. Tammany Par
ish, Irrespective of Religious Greed
or Distinction:
The Jewish War Relief Society of
America have appealed to Americans
outside of the Jewish Faith for the
relief of three million starving Jews
in Eastern Europe. To the Christian
ear, this call ought not to take the
form Of an appeal-a mere statement
of the necessity should suffice, in
order to bring the ready contribu-
tions.
Funds will be collected in st. Tam
many parish during the week of Jan
9Th to 18th.
Do not, in the comfort and securi-
ty of your own home at this time,
overlook the opportunity to fulfill a
first and most important duty.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN LOU
ISIANA IN DIPPING.

Baton Rouge, Dec. 28.-December
18th brought to close the first sea-
son s work toward the elimination of
the cattle fever. tick under Louisi-
ana s statewide tick eradication laws
which became effective April l, 1918.
The splendid cooperation which the
stock owners and parish officials have
given to the State and Federal forces
in charge of this work has yielded
wonderful results. The stringent
war measures which have been so
encessary to the successful prosecu-
ton of the war have had some detri-
mental effect on tick eradication.
Scarcity of labor, with very mark
ed increase in the cost Of materials
and chemicals, have had a tendency
to retard the work, but, notwith-
standing these facts, the results ac-
complished have been exceedingly
gratifying.
Louisiana SO parishes quarantined on
account of the cattle fever tick. The
citizens of a great many of these
parishes at this time knew very little
about the working principals of tick
eradication and had meyer seen a vat
constructed. But, realizing that the
tick was doomed to begin it's depart
ure from their respective parishes, on
April l the police jurors indicated
their willingness to cooperate and
with a few exceptions began build
ing vats and purchased chemicals be-
fore the date upon which the dipping
To- han affonfiun
OF the So quarantined parishes, 27
were dipping cattle on March goth,
and, on April 18th, all parishes ex-
cept three were doing systematic tick
eradication. For time it looked as
II the statewide law was going to
meet some temporary obstruction in
these parishes, but, by May 1st, they
too had fallen in line and were build
ing vats. Vat construction continu-
ed in the remote sections OF some Of
the parishes through May and June.
By July /, 1918, there had been con-
structed under State and Federal
supervision 4,256 watts.
Systematic dipping Of cattle begain
in March with 253,856 dippings and
steadily increased each month until
the crest was reached in July which
showed total of 2,285,843 dippings
of which 1888 were horses and
mules. After this date, due to a

SHOULD HEED
BY TREEN

This is the year that the farmer
should come in for his share. The
manufactures and the laborer have
both gotten a greater share Of the
high war prices than has the farmer
While the farm products have been
a good price the profit above cost
has not been as great as in other
lines. 1t is hoped that in the re-
adjustment to peace conditions, that
the farmer will come in for his share,
The demand for food will still be
great. The labor shortage will ease
up. But if We are to benefit by this
we must get ready Now, during the
dead months, is the time to plan for
the year.
The first step is to take an inven-
tory. Return all your neighDors
tools, and get back yours. II you
have left one of your implements IN
the field where you finished laying
by" or "digging," pray for forgive
ness, resolve never to be guilty again,
get that too! up, dry it, grease it,
sharpen it, repair it, if handle or
beam is rotten, paint it. Inventory
and value your feed and live stock
as we'll as tools.
Now make a list of tools needed,
and repair parts for those you have
needing repair. Be sure to list

FITZSIMONS AUTO SHOP TO EX-
TEND BUSINESS.

The extensive business Of the Fitz-
Simons Auto Shop on Boston street
has made it necessary to nlarge the
business. Mr. n. H. FitzSimons, the
managing member Of the firm, who
has been looking for a situation that
would give floor space for enlarge
ment, has purchased the Wehrli con-
crete building opposite to the pres
ent quarters and will have same re-
modelled so as to give the modern
conveniences for handling cars in re-
pair shop and for a stock department
for display. Mr.. FitzSimons says
that he intends to give aut tomob1le
owners the kind of service that will
keep them friends and patrons al
ways, after being once served. The
situation is excellent and the antict-
pated alterations to the building Will
make it an attractive garage.

The Employment Department re-
Gently issued identification cards to
the employees in the yard and will
be glad to have those who have not
received the same call at the Office.
This department hopes to be able by
the next issue of this paper to an
nounce definite plans regarding q
Welfare Department..
The postoffice will place on the
bulletin board, every two weeks, a
list of the employees who have mail
which has not been called for, so
watch for this list as unclaimed mail
will be returned. There are several
Christmas packages evidently con-
tanning edibles which the ants are
calling for, in veW Of the fact that
the real owners have not claimed
their property.
In a show window on Canal Street
in New Orleans there is large pho
tograph of the S. S. Bayou Teche.
To those who have helped to build
her and who know the real worth
of this, "our first Ship" it is a pleas
ure to stand by" and note the in
terest displayed by all those who pass
and to hear the exclamations of ap-
proval, which are universal
Begin the New Year by resolving
to take care Of the tools. In normal
times tool breakage is a problem in
every great plant, but during the
emergency, when men were working
under high pressure or frequently
were placed in charge of machines
which in former years would never
have been intrusted to them, the tool
breakage loss is enormous. A care
less man can destroy in moment
tools far in excess Of the value of his
labor for weeks and months. Great
er than the monetary loss is the fact
that it is almost impossible to re-
place, at once, many of these tools
which are in such demand.
Be it resolved, Now that the war
has been won, now that the holidays
have been duly celebrated, and the
flu epidemic thing of the past, that
we will again get down to business
and that we will by our collective ef-
forts make Madisonville famous for
her wooden ships and that we as in
dividuals, by industry and colse ap-
plication to our work, make our
selves famous as ship builders.
When you finish job leave every
thing safe. Safety first!
We are glad to say that the steam
er Reverie has undergone its neces-
sary repairs and has made a success
full trial trip and expects to be in full
operation within the next two weeks.

the trenches, air and submarine at
tacks, all figure vividly in his great
lecture, From Transport to Trench. -
For go consecutive days Mr.. Bailey
was in the front line trenches. He
was with the American Marines at
Chateau Thierry when they turned
the tide and repulsed the great Ger
man advance He was gassed and
rendered insensible and it is because
Of injuries thus sustained that he is
now back in the United States.
Mr.. Bailey was in charge Of the
welfare work on the transport on
which he went to Europe and his
work cover there was to speak in
the different army camps. He talk
ed to over million soldiers in
France and learned by intimate ac-
quaintanee how they live, what they
say and think and how they fight.
A great feature Of this lecture is
Mr.. Bailey's description Of the life
and spirit of wartime England. He
tells also of the spirit of Italy and
how Italy opened up the door to
Berlin
Mr. Bailey is vividly eloquent
speaker Endowed with keen
power OF observation, he brings to
his lecture wonderful descriptive
ability. Few can tell more interest
ingly or more understandings Of the
soldier and his problems.

A CLUE TO THE MURDER OF MIR.
LITTLE.

What takes me to Birmingham
would take any one"
This remark was made by o. b.
Jones', alias Phillips, as he took the
southbound train from the station
near Honey Island, December 2fth,
following the murder Of Mr.. Little
the day previous. This is the clue
that set Marshal Smith on his track,
and his capture is expected to bring
evidence that will implicate himself
and George Doris and Ernest john
son, now in jail awaiting develop
ments by DR.. Bulloch, the coroner.
1t is supposed that Little was muir
dered for few bottles Of whisky cav
cried in grip and few dollars
he had on his person at the time he
wa murdered.
DR.. Bulloeh feels confident that if
Jones can be apprehended full details
OF the murder can be obtained.
