WHY NOT 4 FAIR2

The earnest talk some months
back in favor of a parish fair
seems to have died away for
want of breath. This is a pity
for the directors of the West
Feliciana Amusement AssOcia'
ton could easily take up the mat,
ter with comparatively little ex'
pense, and by that much secure
a prolongation Of the base bal
season. State help may be secur
ed to some extent.
There can be no question that
these fairs are helpful to q com
munity as trade-getters, as
quickeners of social life and for
general instruction and pride in
agricultural matters.
We urge, most earnestly, upon
the Board named above that they
look into the matter, if so be that
steps cannot be at once taken tC
have a fair at Feliciana Park this

q native of Pointe Coupee, is gu
perintendent of the parish

to the board advises that the
great number of holidays be cut
out, that teachers be paid only
for days actually taught, and
that salaries be appOrtiOned &C.
cording to actual merit and sue.
cess rather than the grade mark
on their certificates. These rec,
concentrations are the more sur,
prising since Mr.. Trudeau is a
nOrmal.taught man and a few
years ago belonged to the sacred
corps of institute giyers. His
present position shows that he
can think for himself, and thai
he has learned that more goes
into the making of a successful
teacher than the ability to pass
an examination in certain text
books.

dence in Mr.. Trudeau by adopt
ing his suggestions. His task il
now a delicate one; to selec
teachers according to their par

for which they apply.

A PRACTICAL HUNTERS SUG
GESIYONS.

In the course of an interview
with Mr.. Robt. H. Stirling, pres
ident of the Game and Fish
Protective Association OF West
Feliciana, that gentleman made
several good suggestions. Mr.
Stirling is an ardent and skilltul
sportsman and a close student
of nature. He believes in a game
and fish commission, is heartily
in favor of one with the present
abuses of power and administra'
ton eliminated. He thinks that
the commissioners should be
elected, that certainly no man
drawing as large a salary as the
governor can properly be ap'
pointed by that official. Game
wardens should be elected.
The sportsman, he Thinks
should not have to pay a license
only those who hunt for profit
But there should be a tax on
dogs. This would not only pro
duce the necessary revenue but
would eliminate the cur, the
greatest agent in the annual
destruction of game, because
these half.starVed animals o.
necessity are tireless hunters
for the eggs of all game birds
laid upon the ground. The true
spOrtman keeps up his dog dur
the laying season, but these
animals prowl night and day.
Again, Mr.. Stirling suggests
that a more nearly correct meth
cd of calculating the kill in {
parish would be by means of thu
amount of shells sold by the 10
cal merchants. This, with a du'
percentage Of loss in aim, would
be well-nigh unfailing as regards
local hunters. In most parishes
the few visiting spOrtsmen cOulC
be allowed for.
There is much in these sug
gestions as a subject for careful
thought.

CAPT. MERRYS ADVICE.

berries and early vegetables.
With such experience, Capt.
Merry may be looked upon in
the light of a past master on
such subjects, and his advice
worthy of consideration.
In this connection, note thai
Capt. Merry advises diversified
ton and the raising of farm sup
plies at home, but not to 60 out
of cotton. Cotton must ever be
one of the worlds most necessa
ry crops, and despite difficulties
of production, must and will be
grown. The farmer who meets
and Overcomes obstacles bravely
and intelligently in the Cultiva
ton of a cotton crop, must inevi
tably reap the reward of his eff
forts in the enhanced price of his
product, when the faint-hearted
go into other pursuits.

A TAX ON DOGS.

A very determined effort IS
making in Georgia and Missis'
sippi to create a sentiment TO-
wards putting a tax on dogs
At this time when every one ID
racking his brain to economic
and yet raise a revenue for the
support Of our schools and the
betterment of our roads, an hum
bic contribution to both results
would be a tax on dogs, and it is
to be hoped that this wave OF
sentiment will Follower Louisiana
The country is infested with
NANCY, nearly starved ours, the
property for the most part OF
negroes and people hardly able
to get bread for themselves, the
rule being the poorer the man
the more dogs he has. These
creatures roaming all over the
country, hungrily seeking what
they may deVour, make sheep
raising impossible in q region
ideal for the purpose; suck the
eggs of domestic fowl and make
poultry raising precariOuS; and
by that same egg-sucking pro
pensity are death and destruc'
ton to all wild birds, which de-
post their eggs upon the ground,
a habit common to all Our birds
except the dove family.
Hunters alone should, for this
reason, be strong advocates OF a
dog tax, while all others who
want sheep and pOultry'raiSing
to be profitable should be equally
in favor Off
On the ground of cruelty tC
animals, these poor starved crea
lures should be reduced to only
what can be properly cared for
For if the hungry cats and dogs
in West Feliciana could join in
one famished cry it would strike
terror to the thoughtlesS ones,
who never think now of how
these animals suffer as they
prowl around humble cabins OF
their mis-called owners. From
a humanitarian viewpoint the
dog tax should be permitted its
work of elimination.

TRUCK GROWING.

Our neighbOrs of Slaughter
and WOodville are going into
truck.growing. We shall watch
the operations and success of
each with the greatest interest
and sympathy, but without any
wish to cool any ones ardor, we
think Slaughter has a better
chance to make good than Wood
vile, although both have the soil
and the climate.
However, Slaughter has to be-
gin with better shipping facili-
ties, being on the main line, and
will not have to start a fight for
that advantage, while the new
industry is yet in it's infancy.
Slaughter is admirably situated
for the purpose proposed and can
attract truck shippers for miles
around.
Meanwhile we sincerely hope
that WOodville truck-goers will
begin their fight promptly for
better shipping facilities, as that
would mean a like advantage for
Bayou Sara, a fact that would en-
courage people here at home to
go into the industry. We would
not, in any case, advise a general
movement of the kind, among
local planters, but there can be
no doubt that given personal ex
ertiOn and love for gardening and
the proper facilities, a number
of farmers would find profit in
raising truck, particularly fol
the early market.

roo PONDEROUS.

AS a universal pacitier, AttOr'
ney Ponder is more pOnderOus
that ponderful. He and Presi'
dent Frank Miller went out on a
little tour through the state to
make the red.neckS (his phrase
not Ours) a little better satisfied
with their fate under the State
Game and Fish Commission.
But their success is not remark
able. Indeed the spelling of it is
a great deal more like ia i-l-u-r-e.
For example, at Denham Springs
instead of being lulled into sweet
passivity by Mr.. POnder's argu'
ments, the Farmers Union was
aroused to meet and "resolute"
strongly against the entire com
mission.
Mr.. Ponder in his speech pays
a tribute to the Red Necks, as
he calls them, but gratuitOuSIy
ridicules the police juries. He
says they know nothing of orni'
thOlOgy and biology, but speak
ing for quite number of police
iurOrs throughout the state, we
will venture to say that they
know enough about plain En-
glish not to say "peraries" for
"prairies," "tarrypin" for ter
rapin" and "anywheres" for
ANY where" Orif they do lapse
into such careless speech, the
well.paid attorney of the Game
Commission is not in a position
to ridicule them. They, on the
other hand, are prepared to say
that they know as much about
game and fish as he does, and
could not be gulled into TAX
ing the report of every Munchau'
sens kill as the actual number
laid low.
AS apacifier, Mr.. Ponder is toe
pOnderOus. Call him home, j. Y,
