as AGAINST the League of Nations as
chamuioued by the Democrats. At the

President Taft. are unconproniSingly

ST. P.lTRIrK'S DAY.

Monday. the 18th. will be st. Pat
rick'S Day. the 1.I3Oth anniversary OF
that much beloved saint, who was born
so early in the Christian Era as the
wear $50. The Romans were yet lords
in Britain when Patricus was born and
ruled the mouth of the Clyde (now
Scottish territory on that brave day
when the dear old eXterminator of
snakes first saw the light. Like Saint
Paul, he was horn Roman citizen.
He preached Christianity to the Irish
50 well that the island became Il
Christian land.
The subject of this sketch was twice
a slave before he was a missionary.
and Il long time in Ireland before the
Irish acknowledged the merits Of his
lowly Jesus of Nazareth. Most likely
the Saint finally convinced them with
a club. as they seem partlal to such Il
form of aryument-the Irish dO-untO
this good day.
st. Patrick is reverenced and be
loved throughout the Christian world
but only by the Irish can it he said
that he is fully appreciated and UNI
derStood For instance. no one save
an IriShman can ever understand how
he got the snakes out of his adopted
cOuntry--or why. Any prohibitions,
would naturally think that prohibition
had laniShed the snakes: hut. if sucl
was the case, tradition has fallen ever
shorter than history in recording tlt
| fact
BE all these things as they may. al
have il tender place in their hearts fo
old Ireland. and the greatest reverence
and love for Ireland'S patron saint

Dipping Cattle.

Mr.. :. II. Young. Of the Linton COM
munity has sent in IL newspaper clip
ping. appearing under the heading us
shown Above. and says: want the
people of RoSSier to know how the
ieople of Caddo are progressing in the
way of eradicating the ticks" The
clipping i'll full. follows below:
TO the Editor of the Republic.
Noticing in your paper ut different
times alluSionS to tick eradication, |
thought it might he interesting to its
readers to have IL short description of
dipping vat and the vast (!) amount
of good it does.
\ dipping vat is IA hole in the ground.
about 70 feet long. feet wide and &

are sometimes plunged as many as 4tW

and dust. If this liquid is. made cor

allowed the privilege of cleaning them
selves off by the use of tlIeir tongues.
After Il cow has swallowed il portion
| of the nasty mess that clingS to her
own hide she is ready to fill those milk
cans we hear so much about. but, in
my opinion. she gives less milk than
she does before. She also sometimes
gets sick and dies from the effects of it
Many cows have been killed that way
Maybe many ticks are killed by this
mixture. hut there are many that viii
let the cows alone and satisfy their ap
patites by sucking the blood out of r;lb
bits, squirrels and dogs. In fact, the!
can and do live most any old way. Fol
this reason we will never get rid o
the ticks.
We have been dipping here for sew
eral wears and can see by your papel
that we are in clear territory. but III
one knows it here. Dipping cattle doe
no good. except to increase the cost t.

There have been many war heroes,
but there is certainly no more conspic-

HOG-RGOTED Lev EES.

The recent report of the Assistant
State Engineer to the RoSSier Leyee
Board is published in this number of
the Banner. and our planters who own
land through which the leveeS run are
especially asked to read it.
This official dwellS continuously
Uron the ho--rOotcd condition OF
the levce< in BoSSier Parish. 1t seems
that great deal of the extent of the
levee system is enclosed as hog pas
lures and the damage done by the hogs
amounts 10 Il great menace to the
country that is subject to overflow i'll
case the leveeS fail to hold back flood
waters The hog raises the leyee tax.
for he uprootS the grass that is planted
to hold the cmlankmentS together and
he also roots great holes in which the
water can begin its penetration of the
system.
If people must Use the leveeS as hog
PASTURES. it is suggested that they slit
the noses of their pigs in such wa.'
that they cannot root. The Banner Is
Informed lin all SeriouSnesS) that this
is sometimes done with success where
it is desired to prevent hogs from root
ing Possibly the pig raiSers them
selves know more about the operation
and its object. 1t is said to serve the
purpose without in any wise endanser
ing the life of the hog. He merely be
comes il surface feeder instead o
spending IL part of his time in rootin:
for Il livin"
At any rate the roofing of the levee
hy hogs must certainly have an end IL
one way or another. The cost of re
building the levecs and the losses from
overtiov,ed lands will prove too Seriou
to justify the hog, if he Is still allowe'
to root at his own sweet will.
