EDWARD FITZGERALD.
Assigned to the 22d Infantry, With
Which He Spent His Mill
tary Career.

The recent retirement of Rev Edward
Fitzgerald. chaplain of the I'D Infan-

is regarded as among the most popular

famous Irish physician of that name.

Rome and studied at the Propaganda,
was ordained "A priest and later took his
degrees. He then went TO Spain to enter
upon a university career as teacher OF
theology. but this sedentary life did no,
suit him, and he soon set sail for Amer
lea.
Assigned to 22d Infantry.
In 1895. President Mckinley appointed
him in the army and he was assigned to
the I'D Infantry. of which regiment he
remained chaplain until his retirement a
few days ago This life suited him and

officers and the beloved preceptor of the
privates.

mission. war was declared with Spain and
the ed was one OF the first regiments
ordered to the front. Father Fitzgerald
went with 1t 10 Cuba. where his courage
and fortitude We're demonstrated while

Certainly it is not hard times out on
Mr.. Compton's place. Here is intel

Let us have five hundred results like
this around Alexandria, and the

ever the Alexandria cotton compress
would be likely to open its doors.
What one practical farmer does is
worth more as information and In
ducement to others than all the AGA

papers may indulge in for a decade.
If Bill Jones of DeSoto c~ultivates ten
acres of cotton and produces ten
bales of cotton In spite OF the DOH
weevii, Tom Smith of Rapides or sam
Brown Of Caddo wants to know how
he did it. They reason that they are
as good farmers as Jones, and they
are apt to prove it by going Jones
one better, ifthey can. II IN ADDITION
to his cotton Bill Jones produces corn
hay, potatoes, peanuts n ralseo
hogs enough for his own use, with
a surplus to dispose of at a proht
the odds are one hundred to one thai
he is prosperous and c~ontented
When Smith and Brown find this out
they are worse than failures II they
don't follow Jones example. And NJ
man who is half a citizen wants u
be known as a failure.
The mission CT the press of LOUISE
ana. in the face of the troubles "hlc'
have beset the farmer, is not so niue
to instruct him how to succeed D.
nreacbing as to show him how other
have succeeded by practical exper'
ence. The average editor IS prot
ably a poor farmer himself, but n
knows a successful farmer When II

THE SCHOOL TAX.

Today the question of voting a tax
for maintaining the public schools of
the parish and towns is submitted to
the property taxpayers for their ap-
prevail. The tax is a small one being
but three mills on the dollar, which
will amount to only S3on each as
sessed $1,000. The cost to the av-
erage taxpayer will be very small,
and yet the benefits that his children
and his neighbors' children will de-
rive from this tax will be beyond
computation.
In deciding about voting each prop
erty owner should consider that hay
Ing children he would certainly send
them to school. If there were no pub
lie schools he would be compelled to
send them to a private school. The
tuition at a private school under a
good teacher certainly could not be
less than 81 a month for each pupil,
and usually is considerably more, the
higher classes costing as much as 81
in some cases. But placing the tut
ton at 81 a month, one pupil costs
50 a year foranine months session.
If the parent of that child owned
property assessed at $1,000, he would
pay only SO, save Sc and get a much
better organized, supervised and
graded school.
