The general bad condition OF
the public roads, daily growing
worse, is receiving a large share
of the public attention on ac-
count of the serious interference
this is causing in traffic and
travel.
The oft-repeated heavy rains OF
thepastfew months have strongly
emphasized the Importance OF
drainage in connection with good
roads. Efectual drainage alone,
once permanently established
would come from very near tc
solving satisfactorily the road
problem in Lafayette parish
The principal portion of the
road funds should be expended
in securing thorough drainage
of the roadways upon a lasting
basis, as no other plan will give
more practical results.

New Orleans, son OF Judge
Smith of Grand COteau, lectured
to a good.sized audience, includ-
ing many of the fairer sex. The
speaker was introduced by +. Y.
TRAY, who made a five minute
talk, picturing the fruits OF the
capitalist system and also q
little story of the dead turtle,
claiming that the Democratic
party was in the same predica-
ment and urged them to abandon
the sinking ship and get aboard
the socialist flagship which was
headed for the cooperative COM
mOnwealth.
Mr.. Smith referring to Com
rade TRAYS remarks saidhe was
taught since childhood never to
criticise the dead. He pictured
the result of the change from
the capitalist to a socialist system
and gave statistics furnished
by the Labor Department at
Washington in the 18th Annual
showing the cost of living, the
average wages received and the
capitalist profits.
At the conclusion an invitation
was extended to all to ask any
questions. A few was asked
