Superintendent j. A PHcoek, of the penitentiary. who has just returned from trip to the state farm, where ne inspected the work that is being done by the conyics on jhe 1eyee and the cotton crop, stated last night that h" would ask the penitenti91y board jo send about 200 more convicts 70 the farm, if possible 10 help hoe cot ton. which has already been planted and which is now being narrowed. There are already 230 convicts at the farm, but Superintendent PitcocE states that if will be necessary to al most double the force when it comes time to hoe cotton. II is thought that the cotton will be ready Q be boad about next week.
 The extra convicts for the farm will be taken from the convict contrac- tors, who are obliged, under the terms of their contracts, 10 give up convicts few months ago the board took about 50 convicts away from one of the con tractors and sent them to the farm to assist in the work of picking the last crop of cotton.
 About 100 more acres al the state farm will be put out in cotton this year than last. Superintendenj Pit cock estimates that between 2,S00 and 5000 acres will be planted in cot ton. X portion of the new cotton

When completed it will stand about l2 feet higher than he top of the nat ural bank, Or about 22 feet above the level of the river when the latter is at it's ordinary stage. Forty convicts are emp, p,oyed in building up the levee. Arkansas Gazette.

HERE'S MAN THAT SAYS JOB
LOOKS EASIER THAN IT IS.
After Strenuous Time at What He
Thought Was Simple Undertake
ing He Had to Give Up
the Job.

Say" spoke up the man whose
wife e home to spend the holi.
days, 'dJever try to make a bed!
Did yuh?
II you did," said the lonesome look.
ing man, then l don't need to say
anything to you. But amt 1t the
tricky job? Looks easy, too. How
duh s'pose a woman ever manages
to get away with making two or three
beds in a house and then get any
thing else done that day?
Now. the other morning when
got up and found all the bed clothes
pulled loose from their moOrings at
the foot I says to myself: Five days
is long enough for a bed to go with
out bein' made. I'll just make it, I'd
never tried on the bed making propo-
sition, but it looked simple enough.
My wife used to make the bed in our
room just while l was putting on my
collar and then slip in and make up
tho children's beds before I cd get
my hair combed.
well I tried smoothing out the
sheets and blankets, first from one
side Of the bed and then I'd race
around to- the other side and rub EN-
down. But did they get smoothed
out? They did not. They got more
askew every time l touched 'em. Then
l tried tucking 'em in at the foot, 50
that I at least wouldn't have my toes
sticking out into the chill atmosphere
when I went to sleep that night. When
I got 'em tucked I found a big welt
across the foot of the bed caused by
some kivvers that I failed to get hold
Of. Then when l saw just how ruff
fed up they were all " the bed I
decided to pull them all of and start
over again.
7 took 'em OF and then put 'em all
on again. n at a time, and the bed
looked pretty solid and even except
for n quilt looping over a little too
much toward the floor on one side,
but the operation took me just 40
minutes by the clock over on the
dresser.
Then I thought while l was at It
1 would make the pillows stack up
plumb, the way I'd seen 'em before
the missus went home. Say. l wonder
how that's done. l would pick 'em
up and lay 'eni down again just rs
easy like and try to smooth them out
real slick, but still they persisted in
looking as if they were just about all
in. They didn't seem to be up on the
bit 1t all. l don't know when I've
a nor anemic. wilted-looking
pair of pillows.
after this when that bed gets rum
pied up and lumpy I'm going to pull
on the kivvers and roll myself up
like a bug in a cocoon and let It go
ct that."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Capital Of Cardboard.


Every time l come to Paris I am
struck with the unreal appearance of
the town, especially in the less busy
quarter which lies all round the
Champs Elysees, says a writer in the
London Sketch. The tall, blank gray
houses. with their gray wooden shut
ters, look no more real than the card
board houses in q stage play. More
' e it seems impossible that anyone
IL alive inside the houses. You never
see q face at a window, and no one
ever seems to emerge through the
great brown doors-doors which are
obviously made Of painted cardboard,
md not Of wood. The grayness. the
monotony, the absence Of colors. the
comparative silence are incredible
after the warm colors. the red-brown
skies, the portentous. seething move

of Newcomb College Art School,

New Iberia, Jeanerette and
Franklin. Most of these will be

ion. The coaches of L. S. U. and
Tulane will probably both be
among the officials. as well as
officers of the various athletic
organizations of New Orleans.
The recent junior athletic meet
held in Crowley disclosed some
good athletic talent and ability
among the teams and some of
them are coming to Lafayette
with the full expectation of walk
ing away with the Biossat Cup
number 2. In any event it is
probable that the next annual
meet will be held elsewhere than
in Lafayette. as a resolution was
agreed upon by the Executive
Board that the place of meeting
should hereafter be determined
by election and be independent
of where the emp is held. Ar
engagements are being made by
the Lafayette Fire Department
to have their annual parade on
Field Day, which will help draw
a big crowd from all the sur
rounding towns and from up
and down the railroad in all
directions.
