Broussard and Alcide JUDGE visited
Baton Rouge this week in the in
terest of the Industrial School.
Last Tuesday Hon. Robert Martin.
Gov. Estopinal, Prof. Stephens and
Mr.. Alcide Judice appeared before
the appropriation committee of the
House and urged liberal support of
the school. Mr.. JUDGE, who has
been most enthusiastic friend of
the movement since its inception,
made practical and effective talk
to the committee. The four gentle
men who spoke in behalf of the in
stitution presented strong and con-.
vincing arguments, setting forth
the claims of the institution in a
clear and exhaustive manner. From
all accounts it is the intention of
the committee to recommend
generous appropriation for the
school.

classes on cattle, sheep, hogs and horses

were forty other commercial failures,
with liabilities of 500. 1913. Four bank
ing and financial companies defaplted for

statement appears very unsatisfactory,
but II must be remembered that few
heavy failures in wool and other textile
industries account for u large share OF
the reported liabilities. Aside from tins

suffered heavily from the tardy approach
