CHARBON DEVELOPS ONE
CASE IN PARISH,

The following appeared in the
Lafayette Gazette:
"Seyere outbreaks of Charlton
(anthrax) have occurred in sew
eral portions Of the state, and one
case has developed in one ward
Of the parish, Frank NJ. Bacque,
farm demonstration agent told a
Gazette reporter Tuesday morn
ing. With mules selling at $500
a pair, and other farm animals in
proportion, it is wise to take all
precautions to prevent a serious
outbreak. Weather conditions,
showers followed by hot weather
have been conducive to the devel-
opment Of Charlton germs and
great care should be exercised in
disposing Of the carcasses of ami
mails that die of that disease. The
only sure way to destroy them is
to burn the carcass. It will cost
more to do this than to bury it,
but in the long run it will be pay
ing investment. If Charlton breaks
out in your community do not
wait until it strikes in your herd
before starting vaccination. Use
the simultaneous method which
will give you protection within
twenty-four hours from the appli-
cation of the vaccine. By using
a spore vaccine, instead of a live
germ vaccine, less danger to your
stock is incurred. Charlton is
prevalent in many states Of the
Union at the present time, and in
several parts Of Louisiana it has
made its appearance. The farm
ers should take this as friendly
warning, and take the necessary
steps to prevent any such out
break in their herds

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

The Almighty Father in his
Divine wisdom, has called unto
Himself our dear friend and as

YOUR BOY.

You do not know what is in
him. Bear with him; be patient ;
wait. Feed him; clothe him; love
him; he is boy, and most boys
are bad. You think him so light
hearted, and fear he is light
headed as well. But remember he
calls you father. When he played
in your lap, you fondly hoped he
would some day be a great and
useful man. Now that he has
grown larger, and his young
blood drives him with gleeful
sport, and makes him impatient Of
serious things-rattling, playful,
thoughtless-you almost despair.
But don't be snappish and snarl-
ish, and make him feel that you
are disappointed in him. He is
your boy, and you are to live in
him. He bears your name, and is
to send it down the stream of
time. He inherits your fortune
and fame, and is to transmit them
to generations to come.
It cannot be otherwise. A
daughter divides your fortune,
transmits less of your fame and
loses your name. A boy is more
nearly yourself than anything
else can be. 1t is through your
boy you are to live III the future;
by him you are to act upon the
generation that is to come.
1t may be difficult to govern
hiM but be patient. He may seem
adverse to everything useful and
good; but wait. No one can tell
what is in boy. He may sur
prise you some day. Hope. Let
i'm grow. While his body grows
arger and stronger, his mental
and moral nature may expand and
improve. -Avoyelles Enterprise.

APPEAL FOR FLIES TO
DESTROY BORER
OF LOUISIANA CANE.

Cuban flies must be imported to
combat the sugar cane borer, or
Louisiana s sugar crop is going to
suffer heavily, experts say.
The cane borer is all over the
fields Of Louisiana. The experts
calculate that it is taking toll OF
10 per cent of the crop, which
means an annual tax of 5000, 900.
The scientists declare that the Gu
ban parasite is the only sure
means of fighting the borer, and
an urgent appeal has been sent
out to all the men engaged in the
sugar business, especially the
growers, for fund to hasten the
importation Of enough parasites
to save the situation. w. HI.
Chaffe secretary Of the American
Cane Growers Associations cou-
pied the call with the statement
that the money must be on hand
within two weeks or it would be
too late.
7. E. Holloway, government en-
1omologist at the Sugar Expert
ment Station. who has conducted
any number Of tests, vouches for
the efficiency of the tiny Cuban
fly. The verdict is based upon its
achievement in Cuba, where it
has reduced borer damage to in
significance. The fly was brought
here in small quantity and proved
equally effective. The only point
survive the Louisiana winter, but
the absence Of positive proof is
due to the small quantity in the
test. There is a company of half
4 dozen men in Cuba gathering
these parasites in large number.
The government appropriation is
about exhausted, and the plan
will fail unless the Louisiana SUI
gar growers finance their own
salvation.
This time it is proposed to i'm
port the fly in immense number,
and to have corps of three ex-
perts distribute them among all
the sugar fields in the state. IL
enough survive for next season
one $4,000 fund will suffice. IL
the parasites are winter killed, it
will be economy to spend ten thou
sand a year to save as much of the
100000 as possible. Either
way, the fund being Immediately
sought is imperative. Secretary
Chaffe is sure that it will be
raised, and that it will be one of
the best investments made by the
Louisiana industry. D.

THEFT OF A FORD CAR.

Last Monday night between
eleven o'clock and midnight some
auto thief deliberately walked in
the yard of Mr.. Hubald Romero,
East Side of New Iberia and stole
his new Ford ear. Mr.. Romero
had only used the machine twice
and that night about ten o'clock
returned home from a trip, plac-
ing the car in his garage. Little
did he think that within two or
three hours it would be In the
hands of some thief bound for
other parts of the country. The
next morning he discovered the
ear had been stolen from his
premises. Evidently the Ford
was pushed out and when far
enough on the street was started
on its own power. Mr.. Romero re-
ported the matter to Sheriff Lam
dry and he sent out a telegram to
every station between Morgan
CITY and Beaumont. Despite the
efforts made to trsce the machine.

HOLDERS WILL
BUILD OWN WALKS.

Notwithstanding the contro-
versy between Mr.. Leon Dreyfus
and the City Fathers over the pay
ment for several thousand feet OF
cement sidewalks erected on
streets at the upper portion OF
New Iberia, steps have been TAX
en- by a number Of property hold
ers to undertake the work on
their own account. This solution
was reached recently when it was
found that the law suit now pre-
vailing would not be settled until
the November term Of the District
Court Among the leading cltl-
zens to get the property holders
together was Father Wren OF the
colored Catholic church and he
has received the consent OF Mayor
Sealy. who stated that there was
no objection if the levels and lines
are followed, as directed by the
CITY Engineer. Father Wren'

and French Streets have been so

ing sidewalks in the vicinity OF
his property that he decided they
would prefer make their own
terms with a contractor rather
than await the termination of the
suit now pending in the District
Court. In times of rainy weather
# is almost impossible for pedes-
trians to leave their premises to
transact business and many OF
them would rather not wait the
pleasure of the City authorities, so
they have made arrangements
with Mr.. Dreyfus to build walks
ON Robertson and French Streets
and within the next ten days the
work should be under full head
way. In certain localities IN New
iberia, where the drainage is pad
it is essential that sidewalks be
put down just as quickly as pos
sible. We are glad to see the
property owners given an oppor-
tunity to get quick relief, and feel
certain there will be number
that will take advantage OF the
opportunity which is not denied
them to have the walks put down
on their own terms. In re the
controversy between the City and
Mr.. Dreyfus we are not IN posi-
ton to Judge who is right or who
is wrong. All we do know is
that where the property holders
desire walks everything should be
done to encourage them, especial
" when no part of the obliga-
ton is assumed by the City. VI
course they must follow the levels
Of an engineer SO that in after
years the walks will not be con-
demned by some over-zealous Of

Wilson is certain to veto the reso'lt-

noon, Champ Clark, democratic leader
declared in today's debate on the mea-

The resolution will never become
effective, and the republicans in try
ing to pass it are like the bull which

doubt that the resolution would re-,

"It is a futile performance--fuil OF

cept a desperate and unavailing eff
fort not to make peace but to make
some political capital that is apt to
act as a boomerang, the democratic
leader said Instead OF making
peace, it would lead us into all sorts
of international quagmlres.
All congress can do is to repeal the
war laws which should be done at
once, he said.
Representative Ferris, Oklahoma,
chairman of the democratic congress

that the president would soon re-sub-
nit the treaty to the senate.
Representative Flood, Virginia, lead

announced he will seek to substitute
for it a resolution which repeals the
war laws. but makes no mention OF
declaring peace.
