THE REGULATION OF BARBER

i not as long as it should and could be with
proper care The board of health of the
c;tv Of Boston requires that BARRIERS instru-
,,ants be sterilized after use. This seems
,,,;se nrecaution, as we'll as the .disuse of the
,owder puff and the use of separate towel.

great Improvement taking place in the VIM

the greatest blessing that town can have,
and the rapid strides that Tangipahoa parish
has made in law and order, as we'll as COM

JOE AND THE KILOGRAMS DID 1T.

+. The Southern Firemen' s Journal, speaking
of the recent Firemen's Convention at Lafa-
yette, says:
L. B. Leblanc, of Plaquemne, made an eloquent
talk, as also did Chief Dan Wolff, of Hammond, ask
ing. the fire fighters to to their town in 1911
and have good time. But when Hon. j. B. Lam
caster of Covington, began speaking of the beauties
Of the Ozone Belt and began taking kilograms out of
his pockets until he had about twenty-one on the
table, the last one read coming from the Ladies'
Progressive Union inviting the fremen to come to
Covington, they found that they were up against a
lost cause Better luck next time, old boys.

drove into the G. L. Shaw place. 5
miles west of town. upon which Err

Bacon and two little children at
homo alone demanded that she get
them something to eat. The lady
was nearly frightened to death by
the general tough appearance and
actions of these fellows and OF course
complied with their demand. While
eating, they kept making remarks
to the effect that they intended TO
take one of the children home with
them, and when they had finished
acted as if they intended doing so,
to which, of course, Mrs Bacon
strenuously objected, and then they
said they would take her along also
She was SO badly frightened at this
that she hardly knew what she was
doing, left one child there alone with
those whelps and started on the run
for the neighbours a half a mile dis

Part way there she let the child drop
by the side of the road and was in
such a delirious state she never
knew she had dropped it. The fell

COUNTY SEAT CONTEST
MAY NOT BE VERY T

Pierre, Nov. ZIP in Harding
county the people will be called up
on to vote for county seat, without
anyone pushing the proposition. In
test case from Perkins county it
was held that it was the duty of the
county board to submit the ques-
ton of permanent location this year
Following that line the commission
ers of Harding county will submit
the question of location of perma-
nent county seat at the November
election, simply presenting the pro-
position with blank space in which
each voter may write his choice OF
location. Buffalo will no doubt at
tempt to hold the location, and
Camp Crook would no doubt accept
the honor But whatever the out
come, neither town has much time
in which to organize, or make a cam
paign, and the location will very
likely be settled with but little con-
troversy.
