The season is always at hand
when there is demand for a good
whitewash. The following for
mula is employed by the United
States government forts and
light houses, and no doubt out
ranks any other formula in exis-
tence. 1t has been published be-
fore, but is well worth repeating
"Take half a bushel of unslacked
lime. slack in warm water, cover
during the process to keep in the
steam; strain the liquid through
a fine seive or strainer; add a
peck of salt previously well dis
solved in warm water; three
pounds of ground rice boiled to a
thin paste and stirred in boiling
hot; half a pound powdered Span
ish whiting and a pound of glue
which has been previously dis
solved over a slow fire.
add five gallons Of hot water to
the mixture, stir we'll and let it
stand for few days, covered to
keep out the dirt; strain carefully
and apply hot"

selves proud in their entertain.
ment to the boys of the quill.
Resolutions were not only unani-
mously adopted endorsing the
Pana ma Exposition, but urging
the Legislature to submit an
amendment to the Constitution
providing for special tax to help
defray the expense of the expo
sition. The following are the
resolutions adopted:
Whereas, the United States engi.
neers and other officials on the
Isthmus of Panama have expressed
their conviction that the Panama
Canal will be completed in 1915.
Whereas, the only satisfactory
way of celebrating the completion of
that, the greatest engineering enter
prise ever undertaken and carried to
success, is through worlds exposi-
ton at a place where the people of the
entire country will be brought to-
gether and enabled to sell and ex-
change their products.
Whereas, New Orleans is the best
and practically the only site for the
logical ! point-as
President Taft said, for the reason
that it is the nearest port to the Pa
mama Canal, not only for all parts of
the country, but from all parts of
America; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Louisiana Press
Association, That we cordially an
prove the idea of the exposition on
the completion of the Panama Canal
and, believing that New Orleans
should have the honor, the members of
the association promise their aid
assistance and cooperation in carry.
ing through to success the great en-.
terprise.
Resolved, That believing that
me exposition should be a state
'ather than a@New Orleans enterprise.
hat it would be equally beneficial to
very parish of Louisiana as well as
he city of New Orleans, increasing
ne value OF property, bringing in !
'apltal and immigration, we, as mem |
,ers OF the press of the State, believe
hat all portions Of Louisiana should
ontribute to the success of the ex-
and we approve of the small
peclal tax OF 3-8 of a mill for the
arishes and 6-S of mill for the city
f New Orleans"

The State Homestead League and the
Panama Exposition.

The Louisiana State Homestead
League, composed of all the Home
stead Associations in the State, is
the first organization to declare
in favor of the special tax of
three-eighths of mill or fifteen
cents on every $500 of property.
The League, in session at Crow
ley, April % and %, not only ap-
proved the Exposition, but unan-
imously endorsed the tax, urging
all the members to vote for it. A
Campaign Committee of two, con-
sisting of Mr.. j. G.. Medlenka, of
Crowley. and Mr.. Sam Blum, of
New Orleans, was appointed to
take up the matter of the EXPOSE
ton and the special tax with the
Homestead Associations through
out Louisiana and endeavor to
persuade all of them to adopt the
came or similar resolutions as the
State League.
This endorsement has unques-
tionably had a great effect, as the
members of the Homestead AS
sociatiors are all taxpayers. AS
property owners, not likely to get
"a much benefit from the expose
ton as owners of farms or waste
uncultivated lands, their conf
dence that their homes will inn
prove in value because of the Ex-
position, and that they will Sc
cure some part of the millions
that will be expended in Louis
lana in preparing for the Worlds
Fair, and of the other millions that
will be invested in the State, as a
result of capitalists coming here {;
lin fine, that the tax is an invest
ment rather than an expenditure)
shows a confidence which will in
terest other small property own
ers in the matter. The Home
steads were regarded as doubtful
on the tax proposition at first, and
it caused some surprise to find
them unanimous on the point.
