New DEVICE FOR MENDING BICYCLE TIRES
A patent has been taken out for bicycle
tire that will not collapse. The outside
half of the tire is filed with powdered cork
bound together and strengthened by a
special process. A puncture has not the
slightest effect upon it and with it wheel
man can set out on long trip without the
least fear of having his journey delayed b.
burst tire. A novel extempore remedy
for burst tire is reported from New
Jersey. The rider removed the inner tube,
filled the shoe with sand and rode back to
town. Another case is recorded where the
outer tube was stuffed with hay. In
neither case was any damage done to rim
or tire. A new device is announced which
it is claimed will make the inner tube tire
a thing of the past. As every one who rides
wheel knows, If an inner-tube tire receives
puncture much time is taken up in repair
ing it. The tire must be removed from
the rim and unlaced and the inner tube
withdrawn. After the puncture is located
and repaired, the tube is replaced
within the shoe or tire, which is
then cemented to the rim. All this
trouble and delay is avoided by the newly
patented instrument, which is constructed
in three sections, that when closed to-
gether form tube contracted at one end.
This end is tapered so as to readily pene-
trate the puncture in pneumatic tire.
The instrument looks very much like a
skeleton syringe and like the syringe is
provided with piston or plunger. This
plunger is provided at its lower end with
socket to receive and hold headed plug
made of rubber, and has suitable handle
for its operation by hand. When the tire
is punctured the instrument is inserted
into the hole and the plug, which has re-
ceived coating of rubber cement, is fixed
on to the tapered end When this is with
drawn the plug fastens firmly to the inner
wall of the tire. 1t then only remains for
the rider to initiate the tire and mount the
wheel.

welded to Ignorance.

Bro. McCormick, of the Alexan-
dria Town Talk, apparently tries
TO out=Herod old Herod himself,
when it comes to abusing Demo-
cratic President, and cautiously
contending for the Populistic error
of "free and unlimited coinage"
In kindness and sympathy for our
weak and erring brother, we would
commend him to Henry Waiter
sons answer, as IT, why he had
changed from a ''free silver advo-
cate to "sound money" man, to
which the broad-minded editor of
the Courier-Journal replied, "Must
a man hold to his ignorance al
ways" Be wise and patriotic,
Mack; and maybe you will be great
like Henry some day.

taken up.
A petition signed by IS citizens of Pol
lock and vicinity, asking for a public
road from Pollock to Wainright's ferry
on Little river, was received, and on mo-
ton was laid over until the October meet
ing under the rules.
On motion Of the committee on public
buildings the president was authorized
TO contract for and have the Jail roof
painted.
On motion OF T. M. Bradford
Resolved, That tho attention of the
Assessor is called to the fact that great
deal Of complaint is made by parties
against being assessed from the old rolls;
and he is requested to follow the law in
this matter and personally interview all
owners, as any other plan causes many
mistakes by assessing property to persons
who have disposed of it, besides passing
many children and by failing to list them
depriving them of their share of public
school money. Adopted.
On motion Of Wilson Prestridge--
Resolved, That the police jury do now

The .Monroe Doctrine"

At Washington the State depart
ment officials regard the story that
Great Britain is preparing to for
chilly obtain control of the Mica
raugua canal as belonging to the
class which always become more or
less frequent during midsummer,
which is also known as the SILLY
season" Such a course on the
part of Great Britain would be a
violation of the Monroe doctrine
and equivalent to a declaration of
war against the United States, and
few men of common sense could
be made to believe that Great
Britain desires a war with the
United States. The Monroe doc
trine" was announced in 1928, in
the time of President Monroe, and
it holds that "the free lands of the
American continent shall hence
forth never be considered as sub
ject for future colonization by Eu-
ropean powers." Itapplies to-both
North and South America The
allied powers of Europe dared not
tackle the United States when this
question was up in 1928, and En-

A Mountain Of Silver.

There are at present 4278 tons
of silver bullion in the United
States treasury, for which the gov
eminent paid S124, 1923, 1872, and
which is now worth only S9l, $685.
$50 in the commercial markets of
the world If coined into dollars
this mountain of silver would, at
the present legal ratio OF Is to l,
amount to $178,32O,4 Al. But, as
there are already in the vaults of
the United States $369, 600, 600, of
brand new silver dollars, that mo-
body seems to have any use for,
the government is wisely going
very slow about coming up its
mountain of silver, preferring to
wait until it is needed, or until the
present agitation as to it's worth
has been settled.
1t would take all the mints in the
country about ten years to coin up
the silver already on hand. The
mints are all kept steadily going,
and coin few hundred thousand
dollars every month, but they go
very slowly, only sufficiently to keep
a small force employed, and prevent
the machines from injuring from
lack of use and handling. II is
hard for us to understand what
GROUND there is for our friends, the
"silver bugs" 10 kick up such q
fuss about. We very much suspect
the leaders in it are looking more
for soft official spots, than they are
to know the truth, teach the people,
or benefit their fellow-citizens and
the country at large.

Sound Money League.

The second meeting of the
Sound Honey League of Louisi-
ana was held at the New Orleans
Chamber of Commerce on the
night of June 9TH, and formally
organized by the adoption of q con-
stitution and bylaws. The inten-
ton of the league is to wage a con-
test against the advocates of the
pernicious 16 to l theory. After
an extended and interesting discus
sion the following was adopted:
1. The object Of this league shah be to
oppose tho free and independent coinage
Of silver at ratio of 16 TO /, and that,
believing q uniform and certain standard
of value necessary to the agricultural,
commercial and Industrial development
and prosperity Of our common country,
we favor the maintenance OF all our
money, whether gold silver or paper, ON
q parity, to the end that each dollar,
Whatever may be it, competition, shall
have equal purchasing and debt paying
power with every other dollar.
z. Profiting by the experiment Of Wash
| inQton, JefIerson and Hamilton and the
| teschings OF the great students Of none
| tary science from the time when John
Locke wrote, to the discussion Of the
present dsy. We accept the truth Of the
priuciple now universally recognised and
apulied in the commercial world, that the
bimetallic standard cannot be maintained
where the ratio flxed by Law for the free
coinage OF gold and silver does mot cor.
respond with the market ratio OF the two
metals, and that wherever and Whenever
the legal or coinage ratio varies from the
market or commercial ratio TO any sp-
probable extent tho dollar lot gold or

our national experience when under the
act OF 1702, which fixed the coinage ratio
at Is to /, gold retired from circulation

silver in the open market, whereby the
bullion in q gold dollar became worth q
few moro cents than the bullion in sal
