Some Things That We Could Do To

sure that nobody is left out, I will
ask all the rural letter carriers to
assist Santa in this work and when
ever you find a child that he hasn't

word of good cheer and a nice little
present, as a token Of good will and
friendship and in remembrance of
the birth of our risen Lord. AS the
little face is wreathed in smiles and
a pleasant thank you sir is said, it
will more than pay you for your
trouble. Then after the holy days

RAISE STANDARD
FOR HONOR roll
At PUBLIC SCHOOLS
PUPILS MUST MAKE NINETY OR
ABOVE IN EVERY
STUDY.
NEW RULE CUTS DOWN TIL LIST
However, Fifty-Nine of the $50 Made
the Necessary Averaee-The First
Grade Comes First While the Sixth
Did Not Score at All.


Although requirements for admis
sion to the honor roll were very de.
cidedly raised during the last month
there were fifty-nine pupils to make
the grades necessary to entitle them
to this distinction. However, the
new rules resulted in a reduction
from the lists of previous months,
but in the future the honor rolls will
mean more than they have ever
meant and the pupil who last month
attained that distinction or who gets
| it in the future will show real merit.
Heretofore an average of ninety has
been necessary to entitle the pupil to
place on the honor roll, but month
ago, beginning with the third month
of the term, it was decided that a pu-
pill must make ninety or above in ev-
cry study, in department and in every
particular upon which a grade is
made. Under the new rules a pupil
might make an average Of ninety-five
or even more and not get on the hon.
or roll if he fell to eighty-nine in one
study.
Not single pupil of the sixth grade |
made the necessary average to get on
the honor roll last month, but one Sc
Nor took the distinction while the
seventh and eighth grades had but
two each. The first grade was at the
head Of the list with sixteen, the third
grade came next with ten; the fourth i
grade was third with seven, followed
by the second grade with six. The |,
fifth and tenth grades had four each.

hope and uudiminished vigor We
spread the pages OF the paper before
our readers, thanking one and all

and, with tolerance for all, we shall
contend for our views with all our

We begin to tread the round for an-

only advocate what we believe to be
for the best interest of all.

We know of but two newspapers in
North Louisiana that are opposing
the tax in support OF the Worlds
Panama Exposition in New Orleans.
They are the Peoples Democrat OF
Colfax. and the Mer Rouge Democrat
OF Mer Rouge. Both papers are also
bitter in their attacks upon the adj
ministration OF Governor Sanders,
and they seem to be proceeding on
the theory that in fighting the expo
sition movement they are fighting
Sanders. In truth they are fighting
the State of Louisiana, and they
make up a very poor minority at
that. The prese OF the State, with
out regard to factional politics, is
practically a unit in favor OF the two
exposition amendments. 1t is pleas

Dynamiting Corn Ground.

Mr.. j. III. Caldwell, of Spartans-
burg, S. G., made an experiment
in preparing corn land this spring
which is likely to revolutionize
corn growing in this section. He
had a very rough piece of poor
land and conceived the idea of
breaking it up with dynamite.
He drilled holes in the land about
six feet apart and two feet deep
aud inserted a quarter stick of dy-
namite in it and touched it off.
The result the land was SO mellow
he was compelled to roll it before
planting. as a horse could not walk
over it. He says dry weather does
not affect it particle and it might
rain for q week and water would
not run off, although it is rolling.
He has kept an itemized account
of expense and claims it is the
cheapest method of farming he
ever experienced. 1t is estimated
that on one acre he will make from
eco to $50 bushels of corn although
the corn and cotton on adjacent
land looks puny and scrawny. He
used no fertilizers except compost

made by Prof. V. l.. Roy, in charge
of the corn extension work in Louisi-

most interesting Information about
the wonderful results that are being
obtained in the raising oil corn in
this State. Mr.. Wemple states that
in Bienville parish the contest among
the boys corn clubs resulted in three
prizes being awarded, the winner OF
tirst prize having made 120.15 BUSH
els per acre, the second lily bushels,
aud the third 105A bushels. The

they will admit it is possible to make
little more than the Is or 20 bush

We can make more corn and better
corn in Louisiana than can be made
