SEVY INVITES
CO-OPERATION
OF PEOPLE
(113y Dr. (laude Sevey)
The eyes of the world are look
ing to the South today to increase
its milk and meat supply, so that
we can raise what we conusme, and
in addition help supply our ,boys at
the front.
The grand old State of Louisiana
anvwered- the call July 25, 1917,
when she placed on her statute
books the state-wide Tick Eradica
tion Law, and resolved to make the
state tick-free by December 1, 1918,
thus adding millions of dollars of
meat and milk to the food supply of
the world.
The cattle tick is a sordid para
site and an ally of the Keiser. To
effect its extermination isn't the
most palatatble job. But this loath
some parasite is less sordid than the
Kaiser, whose unspeakable crimes
against the young boys and girls of
its conquered territory we can only
bring to a halt by providing for our
boys who have enlisted to destroy
this Prussian monster. Let us see
to it that there is a dipping vate, by
April 1, 1918, in the reach of every
cow who is an unwilling boat for
this detestible ally of our enemy.
I believe the people of St. Tam
many are just as anxious as 1 am to
see that we go over the ton with
thec balance of the parishes of this
state and are declared tick free by
D)ecember 1, ,1918. It is a Mlig job
to do this. It is every man's re
sponsibility who owns a cow to see
that all cattle are dipped at regular
intervals of every fourteen days
throughout the dipping sea:ao, start
ing not later than April 1, 1918,
and if this is done by December 1
the cattle tick will heave ceased its
sordid existence and St. Tammany
parish will be a white spot on the
ma p.
The taxpayers are paying the cost
of the campaign, and the stock rais
ers will get out of it just v hat they
put into it. Let's work together
with the 'determination to nxtermii.
ate the cattle tick in the shortest
possible time at the least expense
to the taxpayers.

Last Saturday afternoon five ladies
from Covington--Mrs. R. N. Leon
ard, Mrs. N. H. FitzSimons, Miss
Kate Eastman. Mrs. J. B. Wortham,
Mrs. L. A. Perreand-came to Abita
Springs to help the ladies there or
ganize for Red Cross sewing, knit
ting, etc.
The visiting ladies were introduc
ed to the assembly by Miss Bertha
,Mutti. Then followed a short -ad
dress by Rev. O. W. Luecke, re
minding all that this is a time of
sacrifice for all loyal citizens, and
that Abita Springs is glad to have
this opportunity to 'bear its little
share of the national burden.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: 'Mrs. E. Terrebonne, Sr,
chairman; IMiss Anna Mutti, vfce
chairman; ,Miss Jessie Mae Rayne,
secretary; Miss Edith Luecke, treas
urer; Miss Bertha LMutti, chairman
of supplies; Miss Anna Knieper, cap

tos.
The chairman, vice chairman,
chairman of supplies, and the three
captains visited Red Cross rooms in
Covington Tuesday evening, gain
ing very interesting and helpful in
formation as to proper fitting out of
working rooms. Prospedts of get
ting centrally ldcated rooms, with
convenient locker, in the next few
(lays, and meeting every Tuesday
and Thursday at 1 o'clock, begin
ning ,with next week, are pleasing
and encouraging to all. At thie sec
ond meeting on WednesdJay after
noon, there were some 'present who
had not been able to attend the first
meeting, and the unit is going 'to
make every effort to enlist every
gifted woman in this community,
who htas a few minutes a week to

herself.

SMRS. DOOLITTLE
ARRAIGNED IN
COURT FOR
MURDER
Judge Carter Fixes Bond at
$5000 Account of Phys
ical Condition.
INSANITY WILL BE
PROBABLE DEFENSE
Drs. Bulloch, Maylie, Gau
treaux Appointed as
Commission.
The bringing of Mrs. Newton Doo
little into court at Covington, last
Thursday, brought to notice the fact
that there is to be a woman tried
for her life in the District Court here
soon, and that it is probably to be a
bitterly fought case for the freedom
of Mrs. Doolittle. Attorney IT. J.
Burke, prominently known in New
Orleans as a criminal lawyer, is
Mrs. Doolittle's attorney, and he will
probably have associated with him
some prominent attorney of this
town.
It will be remembered that Mrs.
Doolittle shot her husband in 811
dell, recently, using the .32 revolver
of 'Mr. Dunn, which she got from
ander his illlow in a room which he
occupied in the house, hq having re
cently rented it. Mrs. Doolittle fire
from the bed while her husband wae
standing at the flreplac. with his
(back to her, and as he ran for the
door she fired again, both bullets
taking effeldt in his arm and body.
This is the statement, it is said, that
was made at inquest. How tar the
testimony is correct will probably be
brought out in the trial. The only
eye witness is said to be the little
child of the Doolittles, who is about
6 years of age. There are some who
ibelieve IMrs. Doolittle was tempo
rarily insane at the time she fAled
the fatal shots; there are others who
believe it was a deliberate murder.
No statement has been itmade as to
the defense, but indications are that
insanity will be pleaded. The Daily
ltates of last Monday ias the fol
lowlng:
'The insane actions of Mrs. New
ton Doolittle, of Slidell, La., held in
the parish prison Ipending disposi
tion of a charge of murder against
her, which caused intense excitement
at church services in the chapel. has
convinced many that the frail little
woman who shot her husband to
death in Slidell, is on the verge of a
complete mental collapse.
"Her removal from - the parish
prison to a sanitarium of some kind,
where she can receive proper medi
cal attention, is expected this week.
This was advised by Dr. Jos. O'llara,
coroner, after he examined Mrs. Doo
little last week. Dr. O'Hiara stated
at the time that Mrs.- Doolittle was
bordering on a nervous breakdown,
which threatened to unbalance her
mind, and advised that further con
finement in prison would probably
wreck her mind completely. He to
informed Dr. Butlloch, coroner, of
Covington, who came to New Or
leans two days later. Dr. Uulloch
withheld an opinion as to Mrs. Doo
little's mental condition, saying that
he would return within a few days
and make further examination of the
prisoner.
"During the shualch service in the
little chapel on the third floor, ad
jdining the woman's department,
Sunday morning, ,Mrs. Doolittle ead
denly went into a frenzy, and climb
ing to the coping of one of the barr
ed windows, began shouting to pass
ersby. M.rs. Doolittle- cried out
"Murler! Come and get me out of
this place." It was with difficulty
that ,Mrs. Rolls, the night prison
matron, quieted hat."
The case has called for a good deal
of attention from Coroner Bullock of
late, he having been called to New
Orleans by the defense to make an
examination as to her pgbysiclal con
dition, it being the contention that
her condition was such as to entitle
her to release on bond. The coro
ner deferred hisl report in this mat
ter until such time as lie could base
his conclusions on more tlmrough in
vestigation. Tuesday, I'ebruary 12,
he gave a certflhadte recommending
that she be released on b'ond, which
was flxed by Judge Carter at $5,000.
'Her bond was signed and approved
and Mrs. DooltIle sent to the .Fen
wick Sanitadrm.
The grand jury took up the ase
Wednesday, February 14, and brgoet
in an indictment for murder, and
she was brought 'before the Court
for arraignment Thursday, Febru
saryt 14.
