CATTLE DIPPING
TO BE TAKEN
UP AT BIG
MEET
Gov. Parker to Meet Cattle
Men and Business Men
August oath.
LAW MUST BE
CARRIED OUT
Great Loss to the State Has
Followed Neglect In
Several Parishes.
(From N. o. Item)

Prompt and decisive action ny
state authorities to enforce the pro
visions Of the tick law has been ask
ed of Governor Parker by live stock
men IN Louisiana.
In response to their appeal the
governor has sent out letters to zoo
prominent bankers, merchants, live
stick breeders, officials Of chambers
of commerce and others interested
to attend a conference at Baton
Rouge on Tuesday, August "a. The
purpose of the conference is to find
some solution to situation that mas
grown extremely serious in the state
through non-enforcement OF the lick
.aw in cRrtain parishes.
1t is estimated that the live stock
industry of this state stands to lose
S6O,00O,O00 if the tick eradicat on
campaign is not successfully carried
out.
Confers With Governor.
On Saturday John H. Cockerham,
of Lucia, La, president Of the live
stock association, and other stock
men, conferred with Governor Park
er. They are behind a movement
for the strict enforcement of th7
tick law.
Til. present law makes t manda-
tory on every parish to conduct TICK
eradication work The records show
that last year three parishes, Wlnn,
Vernon and Grant did NO dipping
and the same parishes with Unlon
added have done no dipp. .ng this
year.
Within the last two months 13
marshes have discontinued dipping.
These parishes are Pointe Coupee,
Beaupgard, Calcasieu, Caldwell,
Washington, St. Tammany, EVange-
line, Franklin, Bossier, Red River,
Natchitoches, LaSalle, St. Landry.
Some of these parishes, 1t is Claim
led, were forced to discontinue DIP
ping because the parish was circled
by tic infested cattle from parishes
that had failed to enforce the law.
Opponents Made Hard Fight
The opponents of the tick law
made a hard fight to secure it's repeal
or at least it's modification at the
last session of the legislature. 1t
was not until the federal govern
ment stepped in with threat to
W wthdiaw all federal aid If the Law
was modified that the opponents OF
the tick bill were whipped.
The legislature on recommends
ton ct the state live stock board
and ether organizations made the
dip law more stringent. Its enforce
ment was put UP square to parish
officials.
When the conference called by
Governor Parker meets in Baton
ROUGE on August "a, it VII be con
fronted with this situation.
Unless the law is enforced the
live stock industry in this state Will
i face far greater loss than the cost
of completing the tick eradication
work.
THIS loss will occur from the
death of pure bred cattle which are
not immune to the fever caused by
the cattle tick and which have been
brough. into the state since tick
eradication was promised by action
of the legislature.
There will be further loss of thou
sands of native cattle which have
lost immunity or which have bee'
born since eradication was accom-
plished in their particular sections

SOME HIGHWAY
INFORMATION
IT IS WELL TO
KNOW
What the Great Highway of
the Mississippi Valley
Means to Public.
LOSS TO PARISH
WOULD BE GREAT
Pledges to Build the Ham
mond Link Should
Be Carried Out.
(By Karl Treen)

In 1915 Goodbee and Madisonyille
carried road tax to build roa1
to Madisonville from Covington and
one to Goodbee from Covington.
Madisonville got her road. GOODBYE
helped pay for it. Goodbee did not
get hers. Goodbee was to get hers
In the new bond issue and Madison-
VILE help pay for it. Now Madison
vile is opposed to Goodbee having
the road, but argues that one OF che
main parish highways should be
from Vaudeville, across the river
through Madisonville and Pontcha-
toula.
To not build the road through
Goodbee, as promised the Mississippi
Valley Highway officials under the
provisions of the bond issue, will Do
to lose this $500 mile national high
way from the parish. This action
has been assured the local club Of
the highway, Mayor Badon, pres:-
dent, and Division Secretary Tresn.
To try to route this highway oy
Madiscnville and Ponchatoula 10
New Orleans would be to leave Ham
mon1 off the line and Hammond, by
having a controlling number OF Of
ficials in this association could and
would swing the highway around by
Columbia, Amite and through Ham
mond. Hammond men have had the
routing of this highway south or
Corinth, Mics, and have favored 81.
T hat u
we will lose it. It is so important
a highway that the Federal Govern
ment is considering the adoption OF
it as a Military Road, carrying a RS
fund to parishes that built 1t and
all improvement and maintenance
expense.
The Covington-G -Goodbee road is not
q new one. It is an old one that
has gotten impossible because IL
was never cared for by the parish.
The Columbia road is very impor-
tant, but it is passable, and Ordi-
narlly a good road. Loss OF the
Goodbee road will be loss OF the
Mississippi Valley Highway routing
over the Columbia road.
Suppose that delegation of citi-
zens had gone from st. Tammany
parish to the Tangipahoa parish
police jury and road commission and
agreed to build road to the parian
line and that the Tangipahoa bodies
assured us that they would meet out
road, and suppose, further, that this
delegation reported these agreements
back to our parish and that we vot-
ed money and built our end OF the
road, would we not expect Tang
pahoa to keep its part of the moral
contract? Sure, we would.
Now, il we reverse the above sup
posal, we will have statement OF

NEW EXHIBIT DATE
At BUEN0S AIRES
U. S. Manufacturers Exposi-
ton Is Postponed From
April Until October.

Postponement from April to october
of the national exposition or American
manufacturers in BuenoS AIRES mas
been announced by the management
in accordance with suggestion by
the United States Chamber OF Com
merce. The suggestion that the open
ing be deferred for few months was
caused by both economic condltlons IN
the United States and representations
made by the American Chamber of
Commerce in Argentina, which were
supported by reports to the State De-
partment from the American embassy
at Buenos Aires.
The Buenos Aires Chamber of Com
merce and the American commercial
attache indicated the danger to Amer1-
can commercial prestige that would be
incurred if an exposition of American
I, goods were opened without adequate
preparation and representation. Al
though several hundred manufacturing
concerns had signified their desire to
enter exhibits, there appeared reason
to believe, it was explained, that only
a part could be ready by April.
Advices both to the State Depart
ment and the chamber Of commerce
were said to indicate the friendly at
titude of the Argentine government
toward the plan for an exposition
which had expressed the hope that il
would be truly representative OF
American products.
Many Of the manufacturers have
normal business conditions in the prep
aration and shipment of their ex-
hibits, and the Department of Com.
merce was convinced that better re.
suits could be had by postponing the
opening.
