DAYS TO Be OBSERVED.
Circular on The Subject issued By Superin.
tsndent Harris.


Baton Rouge, Dec. 9.-The State
Department of Education has issued
its annual pamphlet announcing the
special school days that are to be
observed in Louisiana.
The days and dates are: Library
Day, December 20, 1909; arbor day,
January Ia, 1910; Lee Day, January
10, 1910; bird day, March Is, 1910.
On the subject Of library day,
State Superintendent Harris says:
TO the Teachers of Louisiana
While the 22nd of December has
been selected as library day, and the
accompanying suggestive program
and material is presented. small adj
mission fees may be charged for the
benefit of the school library at each
program presented during the year.
The humbIest rural school in the
State can and should have a school
library. and the teacher should make
the library enter into the daily life
Of the children in school and out of
school.
Let US make the school library
1900. .
record Of the coming session worth
while, both in number of new volumes
added to each school and in the use
of the volumes now on hand
On the arbor day celebration, Mr..
Harris says to the teachers of Lou
isiana:
"The use of arbor day is the use
and value of the tree in the life of
the nation. It should; therefore, be
the aim of the teacher to convey the
lesson clearly and impressively. The
day should be devoted to planting
trees. not only for the sake Of the
trees and for identifying the school
grounds, but for teaching the lessons
of elementary forestry and the eco
nomic value of the forest.
The day should be partly devoted
to the planting Of trees, but the
planting Of trees should be used as a
means Of arousing an interest in the
study Of the economic value Of The
forest and to furnish . basis for the
study Of elementary forestry.
My earnest desire is that the
teachers Of the State enter into the
spirit of the day and celebrate it in
such a name az to arouse the en-
thusiasm Of the children. Arbor day
furnishes an opportunity to impress
upon the school children of the State
the value, the care and the %conserya-
tion Of one of the great natural re-
sources of Louisiana-the forest.

DRASTIC GAME Law
PASSED in
CALCASIEU
Even Dealers in Game Can Not
Send More than Twenty-Five
Birds Out of Parish in
One Day

If Calcasieu's game law, recently
enacted by the Police Jury, were in
effect in st. Landry, there would be
much mourning among a large class
Of game dealers who are now ship
ping from the parish game birds by
the boxful.
Under the State law, these dealers
are not doing anything illegal, it il
said, because they do not themselves
kill the birds, and it is presumed that
those who sell them are within the
pale Of the law, in not having killed
more game than allowed by the law.
The game wardens, however, are
warned to keep a weather eye open
on these game shipments.
The three first sections Of the Cal
casieu law is as follows:
Section |. Be it ordained by the
Police Jury of the Parish Of Calca-
sieu, State of Louisiana, in regular
session convened, that it shall be IN
lawful for any person o. persons,
firm, corporation, or any officer,
agent or servant thereof to ship OF
send out Of the parish Of Calcasieu in
any manner more than twenty-five
(25) game birds in any one calendar
day.
Section 2. Be it further ordained,
etc, that it shall be unlawful for any
person, firm or corporation acting as
a common carrier. any officer, agent
or servant thereof, to ship or send
out of the parish Of Calcasieu in any
manner more than twenty-five (25)
game birds in any one calendar day.
Section 8. Be it further ordained,
etc, that it shall be unlawful fol
any person, firm or corporation act
ing as a common carrier, agent d
servant thereof, to ship, transport.
Or to receive 81 take for shipment 81
transportation beyond the cenfnes d
the parish of Calcasleu for, on &C.
count Of, or from any person, firm d
corporation, more thru twenty-five
(25) game birds in any one calendar
day"

SAYS ALL PROGRAMS
MUST BE CUT TO
THE BONE
Cheeky Entertainers Fail to
Make a Hit With the
President.

(By Robert H. Hazard, Staff Core
spondent of the United Press, with the
Taft SpeciaL) NORTH YAKIMA,
Sept. 39.-After the presidential train
were sent ahead On the presidential It'll
nary to cut all programs to the bone.
Taft's patience has become exhausted
over the cheeky manner in which local
committees in various cities he has
visited have enlarged his labOrs by
adding speeches, hand shaking pro-
grams and long auto rides to pro-
grams. At Spokane. yesterday, he
voiced protest at both luncheon and
dinner because he was called upon to
speak after being assured he wouldn't
be expected to say anything. He said:
"A promise is always exacted. al
ways given and always violated
Later at the dinner he voiced his
disapproval with the arrangements
that forced him to talk after Il long
day of talks. Guests at the banquet
thought the president was joking and
chuckled with joy but no jest was in
tended In addition to these orders, the
president has directed that meals
served in his honor be made as simple
as possible All mysterious foreign
dishes are to be eliminated and the
dishes made digestible. Indigestion is
the bugbear that the president fears.
If his digestive apparatus goes out
Taft knows it will mean the end of his
trip.
Bear meat is better than crocodile" :"
President Taft madef this declaration
last night at the game dinner given at
Hayden lake by the business men of
Spokane. Il am glad to testify that

EXCURSIONlSTS
IN DIFFICULTY

On account of the numerous people
who were in Seattle from this city and
whose tickets expired yesterday, five
additional coaches were trailed on the
regular passenger train from PascO
yesterday making an eight-car train.
Many of those who had visited the fair
for the purpose of being present on
Walla Walla day stayed in the Queen
City until the last day and then rushed
to the depot in the hopes or getting
seat at any cost. AS the result a large
crowd arrived in the city yesterday
morning forcing the railroad to furnish
an extra supply of cars for purposes
of transportation.
After some delay at Pasco, where
main line coaches We're obtained, the
crowd was finally accommodated and
it arrived in the city safe, but badly
bruised as the result of much switch
ing.
