LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Chief is not responsible for
views expressed by correspondents.

st. Amant, La, Feb. S, 1919.
Editor Chief:
Being one of the many unfortunate
burden-bearers, who for the next two
score years must contribute pro
rata share to extinguish the indebt-
edness of some two hundred thousand
dollars which was spent dredging
New River and it's tributaries. | am
Interested in seeing that the good re-
suits possible from the dredging Of
this stream are not lost through the
want of care and attention which
this investment is justly entitled too
In my humble opinion, the main
.tainance of this project has been sad
ly neglected. This condition Of af
fairs may be unavoidable, for it is
possible that vision has been
made for the 11sae. and care
of New;siissss. .Ih 3 ! beg
to direct-ti1e attention Board
of Commissioners Of the New River
Drainage District to the fact that,
unless thousands Of logs and stumps
now resting on the bank and very
edge of New River are removed
shortly, they will find their way into
the bayou and, in the course of few
years, wholly undo the good work of
The dredgeboat. As matter of fact,
apparent to any observer, great
number Of logs have already been
carried into New River. Are the
taxpayers Of this district going to
stand idly by and permit this invest.
nent Of two hundred thousand dol
lars to be rendered non-productlve
Of the good results which are possl-
BILE? Every log permitted to remain n
this stream or on its bank, will cost
the farmers and landholders Vf this
district hard cash in taxes paid, and
will reduce to a minimum the good
results possible from the dredging OF
New River. Yours truly,
.tTAXPAYER."

NEW CHURCH AT GONZALES.
Spacious Catholic House of Worship
Nearly Completed.

The magnificent new Catholic
church which has been in course Of
construction at Gonzales for some
time past, is nearing completion. Al
OF the exterior work, including tbs
roofing and steeple, is finished. The
peWs have been installed, and the
painting is being done on both the
outside and inside. 1t is expected
that the work will be completed and
the building ready for divine service
by March |, on which. day Rev. Eu-
gene Hubert, pastor of the church,
hopes to celebrate the first mass in
the new edifice. The building is a
very attractive one and is an orna-
ment to that section of the parish and
a credit to it's people. It is large
and commodious and provided with
sufficient seating accommodations for
the congregation, which is a very
large one.
Ihe building is being erected under
the supervision Of Mr.. Pousson, an
experienced architect of Church
Point, Acadia parish, and the splen-
did manner in which he has SUPER
vised the work has been the subject
OF much favorable comment on the
part Of the people Of that vicinity.
It is estimated that the church
when completed will cost about S1o.-
600, all Of which sum, except $3.50,
has already been raised. This latter
amount will be paid prorata by the
members Of the congregation, and it
is expected to have the whole amount
fully paid up by the time the build
ing is completed. This church will
replace the old church at CornervieW,
about three miles distant, which has
been a place of worship for the
Catholics of that section for many
e3cades. This latter edifce having be-
come too small for the ever increas-
ing Catholic congregation, made it
necessary to erect a new and larger
building, and Gonzales was selected
as the site of the new structure for
the reason that it is more centrally
and conveniently located than Corner
view, and within easier reach Of a
greater number Of the members Of
the congregation. .
Plans for the erection Of q resi-
dence for the local pastor are being.

Getting Rid Of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to
get rid Of cold is to take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This prepar-
alton has been in use for many years
and its value fully proven. No mat
ter what remedy you use, however,
care must be taken not to contract a
second cold before you have recov-
cred from the first one, and there is
serious danger of this. A man Of
middle age or older should go to bed
and stay in bed until fully recovered.
1t is better to stay in bed three days
at the start than three weeks later on.

NO ARMIsTIcE in TICK FIGHT.
Federal Campaigners Planning Final
Drive to Eradicate Pest.

The meeting of federal cattle-tick
inspectors at New Orleans this week
marked the start Of the final big
drive for the eradication of the de-
structive enemy of the live stock in
dustry in the south.
The "last big drive" will continue
several years, at least, for the federal
quarantine will not lifted until
the tick. is so far banished that it no
longer constitutes a danger, and one
|state compulsory dipping law does
not become wholly effective until
|1922.
The reason why 1919 is regarded
as marking a new era in the tick fight
lis that 1919 is the first year after
the conclusion Of fighting in the
world war. In both 1917 and 1918,
when the United States was actively
in the conflict, new records in tick
eradication were established, despite
the demands Of war, and it is believed
that with increasing energy being
given to the tick campaign, it will
sweep forward with kmentum
never before equsQ
One phase of tlie1 49f9 campaign
has been Ely decided and
planned. That 3 to dip as many cat
lie as possible in March, when the
ticks become active after the cold
season Heretofore many cattle own
ers have waited one or two months
before beginning dipping, and the
,arasites thus have had several weeks
in which to multiply. Furthermore,
cattle begin in March to disperse from
winter ranges or quarters to wider
areas from which it is difficult to
gather them for dipping. The fact
that "two ticks in March mean thou
sands in June and millions later" is
oeing impressed. BY getting an early
tart on the tick. the tick fighters
nope to cut down by many millions
the number Of pests active in the.
summer.
The New Orleans conference was
attended by practically all the feder-I
n inspectors in the tick-infested
states, and by several officials of the
Bureau Of Animal Industry, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
The speakers included state and fed
eral officials and officers and mem
hers of sagricu lturaI and live stock.
brgaHizaf11t5,f N conference was vas
held at the same time as the conyen-
ton Of the Southern Cattlemen's As
sociation.

"Under the Top"

Fred Stone, the star of long line
of stage successes, and the creator
of several interesting productions, is
seen at his best in 9'Under the Top"
which will be featured at the Grand
tomorrow. The story is a happy-go-
lucky affair; most of the action tax
ing place in the dreams Of an am
bilious youngster, after he has been
knocked off slack wire in the back
yard and is lying insensible on the
ground. Burning with desire to be-
come circus performer, the boy,Jlnl-
mic Jones, has made the acquaintance
If tight-rope walker and his little
laughter, and his dreams are Of
them and the romantic way in which
he rescued the charming young lady
in after years from set Of deep
dyed villains and she becomes his
bride. Jimmie is endowed with a
great Imagination by theGDuthors OF
the story, and does his dreaming
cleverfy According to Jimmie,s
forecast he becomes sign painter
and acrobatic performer. One day
the O'neill circus comes to town and
Jimmie finds that the proprietor is

Hearse Capsizes.

/ , IN 4
The Abbeville Meridional, publish
ed at Abbeyille, says that the streets
of that town may not be worse than
those of other places, but that fact
does not help the case any. The Mer-
idional goes on to Cell of an incident
last Tuesday when a hearse en- route
to the cemetery came to q bad hole
and capsized. 1t is bad enough when
poor streets interfere with those who
have to use them while they are alive,
but, oh my! think of it, interfering
with the dead! The coffin was tum-
bled about, and the corpse treated to
a final shaking before being laid
away.

Now comes the No-Tobacco League
with the announcement that it will
undertake to secure all amendment
to the constitution of the United
States, prohibiting the growing and
use of tobacco. Encouraged no
doubt by the ease with which the So
called prohibition amendment was
adopted. these people seem to be
lieve that they can procure the adop-
tion Of any other article which they
might propose, however ridiculous or
sunmeritorious it might be.

"The Greatest Thing In Life"

. D. W. Grifith's latest photoplay
production, '"The Greatest Thing In
Life" starring Lillian Gish, which
will be the offering at the Grand
Theatre next Tuesday, is an exceed
lngly fine piece Of work. The play.is
said to surpass all other efforts of the
great producer. 1t is a notable ac-
eomplishment in construction, is
superbly directed and acted and the
narrative is interest-compelling and
gripping from the first foot to the
last 1t is a play that will live long
after the boys come home from
France, and one which they will want
to see, which cannot be said for most
OF the so-called war spectacles. In
commenting upon the play, the
New York Evening journal says:
In The Greatest Tn4ng in Life
David Wark Griffith, acknowledged as
the supreme master of screencraft,
has done it again. His second Art
craft production undoubtedly hits the
mark. The big audience at the
Strand, gripped by the action of the
play, seemed dazed for while by the
very bigness of the theme, then burst
INTO storms Of prolonged applause
which left no doubt as to its verdict.
Attempted by any other producer it
would have meant ruin"

ones in dhis portrayal of beautiful
Creole girl, who finds love i1R unique
manner, and who nearly falls a VIC
tim to a tragedy. You see Dolores
was headstrong, and when her grand
mother wanted to choose a husband
for her, Dolores asserted her woman's
privilege to choose for herself, and
almost got herself into a peck Of
trouble for her pains. Because, af-
ter all, the very man whom Granny
had picked out for the ron9ntic Gre
