No License.

The large number of deaths
throughout the country caused b,
liquor being manufactul ed with wood
alcohol and chemicals and sold at
eXorOitant prices to the u1suspecting g
customer has caused bitter feeling
against the profteer who is willing to
sacrifice life, or is willing to risk
the sacrifice of life, to gain the AL
mighty dollar. Wherever caught
they will be charged and prosecute
for murder. Little of this wood alco-
hol goods seems to have reached
Louisiana, but it Is only a question
Of time when it will be on sale here
if the sale of liquor is not stopped.
One case was reported in New Or
leans, the mans life being saved by
prompt medical attention and the
fact that he had taken but one small
drink.
Some liquor is being sold in Gov
ington and New Years night drunk
en- men appeared in public places.
One man, at least, paid for liquor
with a check, it is said. Now, since
prohibition is settled fact, the bust
ness can not be continued except a.
risk of prosecution under the law.
There have been no new licenses
taken out. The sellers Of liquor ara
not only liable to prosecution by the
government but by the state.

THE RED CROSS
(By Mrs. J. C. Burns. }

Due to the Christmas celebrations
and many activities of that season,
no report was made OF the sale OF
Red Cross Christmas Seals. The
campaign began one week later than
the date set for it, on account of the
supplies being delayed. However,
on Monday, Dec. 12, the Daughters
of Isabella, with Mrs. W. H. Kentzel
as chairman, and her committee, be-
gan the sale, and for one week the
Kings Daughters, with Mrs. A. Alex
lus and committee, the Red Cross
with Miss Kate Eastman and COM
mittee, the Eastern Star with Mrs. ].
B. Wortham and committee, the Nj.
c. B. Library with Mrs. Rudolph
Schultz and committee, and School
Improvement League with Mrs. G.
IL. Sheffield and committee, worked
hard to turn in generous sum. The
total amount turned in was $198.23,
few returns yet to be made, which
will probably net us 5000 in all,
This amount fell far short of the
quota given to Covington, but the
public has been called on so manF
times. The campaign was a worthy
one and the money spent to extermi-
nate the germ of tuberculosis is well
spent.
