Is the robin a game bird that
should be killed and eaten, or is
it valua BILE insectivorous bird
that should be protected at all
seasons 2?
This is question which the
next General Assem- bly, will have
to solve, and our readers are
asked to consider its Importance
in an agricultural way,
DR.. T. S. Palmer, in charge OF
the Game Conservation division
of the Biological Survey of the
department of Agriculture, in
answer to inquiries from Frank
M. Miller, of the Louisiana Game
Commission, quotes an authority
who gives the results Of his oo-
servations at Abbeville La,
under date of Feb. of this year
as follows
81 collected II robins near
here yesterday and got the fol-
lowing results from an examlna-
tion of their gizzards;8 had eaten
nothing but insects; the other
four had taken respectively 95,
80, IS and 0 percent OF insects
and other inverte brates. The in
sects include grasshoppers, bugs
beetles, beetle larvae (wire
worms and others), caterpillars
including cutworms. On the
basis of the Is stomachs | have
examined this month, consider
! the robin essentially an insectivo-
rous bird in Louisiana in Feb
ruary."
"The shooting of so beneficial
bird should by no means be al
| lowed.
"The same authority above
quoted under date of Feb. II
from Long Bridge, La, wrote
DR.. Palmer
81 shot six robins to-day; 4 II
a back berry tree and 2 on the
ground. Three Of these six bird
had eaten insects, including
larvae of crane flies which are
sometimes known as leather jac
kets. These larvae feed on the
roots of grasses, including grair
crops and other plants and are
sometimes quite injurious. Eacl
of the three birds had eaten one
or more specimens of a leaf bee
tle,a plant feeder and Injurious"
These facts bearing the staml
of the federal government
through a conservation worker
as widely known as DR.. Palmer
are entitled to serious consider
tion by the farmers and planter
of the state.

Suggestions as to the method OF
building and maintaining the pro-
posed reformatory,a "a poor house and
place ofdetention for the insane was

two, consisting of Hon. Chas. V.
Moore and Hon. H. N. Coulon, were
appointed to look into the selection
of a site and report back fully to

The local post Office has chan
ged quarters. We have heard OF
cities built in one night, and
such was the case with the local
office. Post Master Boudreaux
decided at 5 2. NJ. last Wednes-
day to move into TIE new quar-
ters and he accordingly notified
Com missioner Naquin that he
desired electricl lights in the new
place and they were im mediately
installed. The fixtures were re-
moved from the Bank building
to the new place, corner Main
and St. Philip Streets and in
stalled the same night. The next
morning the patrons of the office
were receiving their mail at the
new place.
1t was not an April fool joke,
as it happened the day previous,
but many W ere disappointed in
not seeing the office in the old
place. The old fixtures are be-
ing used awaiting the arrival of
the new ones which have been
ordered out by the Postmaster
some week ago. The Bank OF
Thisodaux wanted the post office
space and concluded it was bet
ter to allow the old fixtures to be
taken out so that they could
start work on remodolling the
building, increasing their
Accommodations and comforts
Postmaster Boudreaux ordered
the new fixtures OH his own
hook, thus demonstrating his
civic pride, as he could just as
easily have purchased the old
| fixtures. The office being in the
second class for some years and
being entitled to a government
| building, and since the town
seems to be Indifferent as tc
whether we get it or not he took
it upon himself to purchase the
fixtures.
The stamp receipts for theyeal
ending March 31st was S1O2
more than for the year previous
which YVES then way over th'
eight thousand dollar mark, th'
amount necessary for the con
struction of government build
ing.

The question of how to finance
the Panama Exposition is to be
brought up in New Orleans at a
meeting called by the Governor of
the State and the Mayor of New
Orleans. New Orleans wants the
prize and the money must be raised
for the same. A million dollars is
the amount necessary and it is
hoped that:the entire state will come
to the assistance and lend all its
influence and aid to secure it. 1t
means much to New Orleans direct
lY and more to the state at large,
both directly and indirectly. The
question of whether special tax
should believed forthe purpose is be
ing very much debated. Special tax
es usually scare people for such pur
poses, because all do not stop to
deliberate and ponder over the
far reaching effect, they only see the
present, and feeling that they pay
enough taxes, they would vote
down any proposition that would
make them pay more. The propo-
sition of issuing bonds to the
amount of one million dollars seems
to have more favor than any other
proposition and it is to be hoped
that it will prevail, as to offer the
levying of special tax and have
the people to refuse or reject it at
the polls would be a hard knock for
the propositionin Louisiana and first
class argument in favor of any other
place. If there is no better way,
then let the bonds issue.

Last Sunday was a gala day for
Lockport. The town had on its
holiday attire and all were out
vieing with each other to make
the day a memorable one in the
annals of the growing little city
down the creek. The occasion was
the dedication and formal opening
of the Woodmen Hall, a building,
which we understand, will serve as
meeting hall for all organizations
in the town as we'll as an opera
house or theatre.
All organizations and secret or
ders of the town participated in the
event and invited all orders through
out the parish, Thibodaux having
its lodge representatives. The
Woodmen, the Redmen, the Mac
cabees, the Catholic Knights, all
participated in the parade and all
held the installation of their re-
spective Officers at the hall after the
parade. The installation was held ac
cording to the public ritual. After
the public ceremonies a smoker was
held at the hall, participated In by
delegates and representative mem
bers from all of the orders. The
building, as we understand, is
modern in every respect and will
be of great use to the town for the
public functions it may desire to
hold as well as ornamental, besides
being exceedingly useful and conve-
nient to the orders for holding their
meetings and limitations. The
Knights did not Install due to the
absence of State President Higgins
