Police Jury Reduce Rate of Taxes
From Eight to SIX Mills.

Police Juror, Paulin Foutenot, re-
turned from Lake Charles Wednesday
where he had been attending the final
session OF the board of police jurors
for this year. He gave the following
report of the work Of the board:
The present board assumed control
of the parish affairs three years ago.
when they found the parish $3.50, 900
Ia debt and parish warrants were re-
turned unpaid for lack of funds, while
he rate OF taxation was ten mills on
the dollar. At the present time the
parish ~ free of debt ana has 1920, coo
ahead, while the rate of taxation has
been reduced to six mills on the dollar
for the ensuing wear. This is a
splendid showing. A saving Of $500,
H08 IN three years. and at the same
time a reduction of 40 per cent. in the
tax rate. In making the appOrtion-
meht, the following items are If es-
pecial interest: Criminal expenses,
S25, GIJ; schools, $35, 900; roads and
bridges, 49, The total budget
for next year is estimated at $l60, 900

Truancy or What?

An hour or two spent on the sunny
side OF street, or in any of the toy
stores of Welsh, or around the depot
almost any school day, will provoke
the inquiry in almost any thoughtful
mind as to why there are so many
boys out of school. These are not the
young men, so called, but little boys
from six to twelve years of age, most
of whom are on the school roll, and
attend when they feel like doing so,
but are ready to accept any excuse
for not doing so, prefering to spend
their time in idle loafing to that of
going to school and fitting themselves
for occupying a useful position in
life. That somebody is blamable for
this condition there is no doubt, but
upon whom the blame rests tits notour
provence to decide, but whether it is
the parents or the school faculty, or
both, the state is the ultimate loser,
and we believe the state, through it's
municipal organizations, should look
after the matter.
A well inforced truancy law would
exert a potent influence upon making
useful citizens out of class of boys
whose present course is only making
idle loafers out of them. The state
and the citizens of the various school
districts of the state, expend large
sums of money annually for the main
tainance of the public schools, and it
is neither fair to the state nor just to
the child to permit him to grow up in
ignorance through an idle within which
keeps him out of school today to 60
hunting and tomorrow through some
other childish notion.

REV PROHIBITION PAPER.
To Be Published i'm Lake Charles by
Parish Prohibition Committee.
H. Mcleod viii BE Editor.

The first issue of the Searchlight
the new prohibition organ to be pub
lished at Lake Charles, will appear
Thursday. This paper viii be pub
lished by the Calcasieu Parish Pro-
hibition Executive committee. Its
purpose is the defeat of the liquor
traffic in this parish. The committee,
after looking over the field carefully,
decided that paper devoted to the
interests of the prohibition cause
would aid materially in the conflict
that is now on in this parish.
After thorough canvas of the sub
iect, the Searchlight was established,
with MIR. D. H. Mcleod as editor and
manager The new paper will be
domiciled in the offices Of A. M. MAYO,
In the Won Phul and Gordon building.
The Jones Printing Co. has the con-
tract for the printing OF the paper.
The SearchIight is making its en-
trance upon the sea of journalism up
on the crest of the greatest reform
wave that this country has experienced
In generation, and one which seems
destined to sweep it from end to end.
There seems to be no reason why
the proper push aud hustle should

OF them helped me; so my wife advised
trying Electric Bitters, which are re-

EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science Has Now Found the True
Way TO Cure Indigestion

Science Has Now Found the True
Way to Cure Indigestion
A few years ago. when sufferer
from indigestion went to a stomach
specialist, the result was rigid diet
list that almost Reconsideration.
But the first thing TO do la the case
of indigestion or stomach weakness Is
to strengthen the muscular walls Of
the stomach and intestines, so that
they will care for the food that Is eat
en-. In no other way can this be done
as well as by taking Mona tablet
before each meal. This restores
strength to the stomach mucles and
stimulates the pouring out Of gastric
juices, so that the food Is digested
readily and its nourishment retained
IN the system to build up energy and
vitality.
DO not think the sick headache
heart burn, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, spots before the eyes,
sIeeplessness and the many other
symptoms that are the direct result Of
indigestion, will go away Of them
selves. The stomach must be built
up and strengthened BY Mi-o-na before
you can be well and strong, free from
suffering and distress.
The guarantee that the Red Cross
Drug Store gives with every 50 cent
box Of Mi-o-na, to refund the money
unless the remedy cures, shows their
confidence ia the treatment.

Our Apple Prospects.

In an interview with Prof. W. NJ. Scott, Pathologist ot tic l.. $. Department ot Agriculture, who k II the present time lo- cated in this section with lis aN- sistant to look after the fruit in- terests, has the following To say concerning the same:
 "The apple prospects in North west Arkansas is still very bright Last Friday night the growers had another scare when the temperature went down to S4 degrees, but the fruit again escaped uniniured, It k really remarkable that this little cor Ter of the OZarks has come through with such nice crop, while the ad jacent Missouri see ton has been visited by killing temperatures at several different times during the past month, re- sulting in the loss of practically the entire eorop there. seems, however, that the wind changed from the north to the east just i'll the nieh of time to save the Arkansas apple crop on several occasions.
 At any rate Arkansas has q splendid crop of apples not q full crop, but q good half crop. Nothing like fine crop would have developed had the weather conditions been entirely favor able Many trees that were heavily cropped last year are rather light this year. This is especially true of the Ben Davis, and some whole orchards have practically no crop at all. This IS due partly to over bearing last year and partly to neglect. The cold, however, has undoubtedly J had it's i'll effect, especially in low places.
 Every orchardist who has ap- pies this year should spray thor oughly and produce first class fruit. He can make no better investment. An apple crop is valuable property this year. It should, therefore, be protected against the destructive work of insects and diseases. - Benton vile Democrat.
