the Jastremsh campaign com.

AS TO THE SENATORSHiP.

AS TO THE SENATORSHiP.
there is a very strong Senti-
ment in the parish of Lafayette
that this parish is justly entitled
to one Of the two senators to be
elected from the thirteenth sena-
torial district at this time.
Iberia and ST. Martin, and eS-
pecially Iberia, have been fur
nishing the senators from our
district for SO long that we have
come to believe that it is their
prerogative by divine right"
and that the parish of Lafayette
belongs to the thirteenth senate
rial district in much the same
way that a tail happens to form
part of a dog. This condition
has come about chiefly as the re-
suit of the convention method OF
shutting out a whole parish as
easily as a single individual,
whenever it served the purpose
of any set or combination of wire
pullers to do So. And in this
senatorial game of politics Lafa-
yette has been treated with scant
consideration in the past, for one
reason or another.
1t is particularly necessary
that Lafayette parish should
have strong and able representa-
ton in the next Legislature to
properly present its claims for
the second Normal school to be
established in the State, and one
of Lafayette's ablest citizens
should fill one of the seats in the
State Senate. Such a thing is
entirely feasible at this time if
the democratic voters of this
parish will give their united sup
port to a home man. and it
is revolving to believe that the
good and intelligent citizens of
Lafayette parish could allow par
tisan or factional feeling to so
blind them to their own interests
as to cause them to give their
support to a candidate from
another parish in preference to
a home man, who would devote
all his energy and ability toward
securing a most valuable acqui-
sitiOn for Lafayette that will
likely be lost to US if we do not
adopt such a course.
Let Lafayette parish wake up
on this important question be-
fore it is too late, and let US act
like sensible men in doing so. It
is certain that we can secure one
of the senatorships. and it would
be the height of folly for the in
telligent and independent man.
hood of Lafayette to stand idle
and allow themselves to be side.
tracked in a matter of such i'm
p0rtance to US.
The opportunity is ours and
we have senatorial timber at
hand; it is only necessary for
some good man to step out in the
open and announce himself for
the Office, and the rank and file
of the white democratic voters of
Lafayette parish, regardless of
factional differences, will rally to
his support because it will be to
their interest to do so, and to the
advantage Of their parish.
The People Will Rule.

THE GARDEN SCHOOL,
How Children of Newton Were Taught
 to Beautify Home Grounds.

Writing in MaXweil's Taiisman Of the work of the garden school ill New. ton, Mrs. Ii. A. Elliott says:
 An object lesson to the citizens of Newton was the garden school con. ducted by the ladies Of the Social Sci. ence club of that town during the sum- mer of 1906 Assured by George IT. Maxwell of the Home C-oftcrs guild of the Talisman of the free services of an experienced garden director, provided the club could defray the further cE, pense of garden, 2 committee of five ladies was appointed from the club t. see what could be done
 First they obtained the use of a piece of vacant land on Jackson r0ad. which was then an open grass plot. Then an appeal was made by the com mittee to the department Of agriculture at Washington for free seeds, which were promptly sent. The committee sent q circular letter to about fifteen of the enterprising business men of New ton telling them os the plans for the garden school and asking them if they were sufficiently interested in the cx- pertinent to give tr some financial sup port.
 The response was quick, and at the end of week we had the required $100, and the director went 10 work. One hundred and six gardens Q by 8 feet were planted by as many different children from the Nonantum district, and the names of a5 many more inter- estcd children were placed on the wait Ing list.
 X few of these children. having learn cd how under tho direction at the gar den school. went back to tue home dooryards which had for all time previ ously becH used for dumps. cleared away the debris, spaded up the earth and planted seeds which they procured gratis from the director Ihe reward was scarlet ruancr at the doorstep a row each of lettuce. ra{.shos and bcaDs and for garden flowers nasturtl,ns sunflowers and sweet alyssum. One of the boys carried some vegetables from his home garden into the exhbi ton at Horticultural hall and was awarded prize. Could these children think you, ever again be contented to live in dump instead of flower gar den? These girls and boys learned the law of cause and effect; that the soil through healthful. pleasant labor will produce food supplies sufficient to nour. ish the body; that debris, squalor and untidlness may be supplanted by clean. illness, order and beauty and many oth CT lessons, not the least of which were pride in ownership and respect for oth- CT peoples rights

School Gardens In Washinaton.

The school garden movement in Washington. which started humbly a few years ago, has so strongly appeal ed to the children and their parents that with a comparatively little assist ance from the public funds it has thrived amazingly Already marked change Is observable not only in the immediate surroundings of the school buildings themselves, but in all parts of the town at the homes of the little ones. They have been taught plant love in terms which have in many cases never been presented to them be- fore. By their personal participation in the work of making gardens, in prepar- ing the ground, selecting and planting the seeds, caring for the sprouts and the plants and finally plucking the blooms of their own cultivation they have gained a sense of responsibility which makes for the improvement of the whole town.

Rarbar's Hair Cat

"Wished had time to go out and cet my hair cut" remarked barber as he removed part of the father from the customers lips with his second finger,
 ''Time to go out and get it cut?' re peated the man in the chair, with the emphasis on "out." Are you like the man that won't eat in his own restau- rant? Aren't you willing to trust one of your own men to cut your hair?"
 "Oh, I'd trust them, all right!' said the barber. Ut isn't that, but you hardly ever see a barber getting his hair cut in his own place. The other barbers all like to go home promptly at quitting time, and if one of us gets work done during the day there is sure to be a rush about that time, and it makes a customer sore if he has to wait with two barbers right here and not waiting on him. He doesn't like to wait around while one barber cuts an other barber's hair.'-Cleveland Plain Dealer

Travelina Sand Hills.

On the coast of Pomerania there are large tracts of sand heaped up by the wind, hundreds of yards in breadth and from 60 to 12O feet high, and these hills, propelled by the wind. move steadily in an easterly direction The speed at which these great hills travel is from thirty-nine to f1fty-six feet a year. Pine woods, which some times come in their line of march, can not stop them and are completely de- stroyed. The branches are routed off by the sand, and nothing is left of the trees but the bare stems, which after few years wither and die.

As great stack of plaques-you know those beautiful. big gold pieces called plaques-was pushed to him in the croupier heard a young lady whisper in his ear:
 "It is very odd. monsieur, to wear gloves at play. What do you do it for? Luck?
 "The fortunate player smiled grimly.
 "'Not at all,' he replied. I promised my wife on her deathbed never again to touch a card.'"

 Jackson, Tenn.
 One of the most progressive town officials in the south is Samuel Lan. caster, city engineer of Jackson, Tenn like Jackson, and he wants others to think so, too, and he is doing every thing in his power to make 1t one of the prettiest towns in the country. It Is due ill a great measure to his ef- forts that good roads are being built in Madison county But road building is not all that has engrossed the big brail of Sam Lancaster, says a writer in Breeders Gazette. As manager of the waterworks he saw a chance to do things. Jackson had no park, and near thG waterworks there was needed a raised roadway. Sam Lancaster made the i'll, and before any one knew what he was up to he had built fine lake on the site whence came the earth for the All. Smaller lakes near by cam, then drives, bridges, boats, lilies (mal vicious lilies), banks of flowers, trees.
 Au unSlSnIly TallWAy yafu aOJOlnei' the waterworks. The railway was ask ed for few cars of earth. Presto! Sam made the yard and the park join, Grass. flowers, shrubs. beauty, order. seats, comfort, inspiration, hope, all came out of that old sink hole. Anti the manager only grinned when he saw that Sam Lancaster had actually parked and fenced part of his right of way. Now travellers on that railway will pass by and say. "Jack son, Tenn. is a beautiful place and must have people of culture within it.

Corded SILK Used for Hats.

some merely bizarre, are fashioned
entirely from shirred and corded SIX
and trimmed in bows Of the same silk,
I'm velvet. I'm wings. or in the velvet
flowers which are so exceedingly beau
tful this fall. Larger shapes, too, are
made up in the corded silk, the wide
brims being faced smoothly with vel
vet while the trimming is Of feathers,
flowers or velvet
The light facings in dropping
trimmed dark hats and the dark
facines in light hats often render be
coming a model which might other
wise be unbecoming, but contrasting
facings are by no means the rule. The
summer season has seen a fad for one
tone. somber hats worn with white or
delicately tinted frocks, and this idea
of the all dark and contrasting hat
promises TO hold over into the new
season.
The new puppies and violets are
particularly fancied for such hats at
the moment, but are being exploited
so violently that the woman who can
not afford to throw a hat away as
soon as she is tired Of it will do well
to think twice before buying one Of
the purple hats.
