Exposition Tax Will Not Be Collected.

Exposition Tax Will Not Be Collected.
In another place in this issue
of the Chronicle will be found
the formal notice of Gov. San
ders, that is being sent out to the
sheriffs of the parishes not to col
lect the tax that was voted in aid
of the Panama Exposition. The
amendment adopted at the last
State election provided that in
case this exposition should not be
held in New Orleans, the tax COL
lected for this purpose for 1911
and 1912 should be refunded and
used in the various parishes for
the building of good roads. The
question having been decided be-
fore the levying of the tax, the
Governor holds that it should not
be collected at all. So the build
ing of good roads is to get
nothing from the exposition tax,
but will be confined to the special
State tax for this purpose and
such special taxes as may be levied
by the respective parishes. -

of the season is a magazine Sec
ton of 81 pages profusely illus
trated, printed on fine paper, and
nicely bound for preservation.
AS a work of art it is one of the
neatest and completest publica-

Illustrations of the schools,
churches, stores, men of local
note, and other interesting scenes
pertaining to the city of Monroe,
as well as the agricultural inter-
ests of the country surrounding,
are given. 1t contains much valu-

richly deserves the many hand

State press for its fine display of
local matters.

Sunday School Workers are Needed.

ounday Ocno0i WORKERS are needed.
The organization of the Colfax
Sunday school, under Mr.. ]. T.
McMurry as leader, assisted by a
corps of interested teachers, is
just now in progress, and a special
effort is being made to intro
duce methods that will at
tract children and grown peo-
pie to take part in this important
work. The main trouble in keep
ing up the interest Of the chill
dren in the Sunday school, is the
willful indifference of the parents
about coming out themselves. If
every parent would visit the
school in company with their
children at least once every four
or five weeks there would be no
trouble in keeping up the child
ren's interest, but most parents do
not see inside of a Sunday school
room oftener than once in four or
five years, and of course, the
children think there is no use
being interested in anything
which is of no interest to their
parents.

Quarterly Report of the Parish Super.
intendent.

rectors for the Parish of Grant:
1 Gentlemen:-As you require,
and as the interest demands, |
make this my field report for the
fourth quarter of the year 1910,
ending December 31st.
/ During the quarter mentioned
all of the white schools of the
parish, with the exception of dis
trict No. 10, have been in session,
with a teaching force of &c teach
ers, 81 male teachers and 35 fe-
male teachers. Three colored
schools have been in operation,
with a teaching force of three
teachers.
/ We have arranged for the open
ling of three schools in district
| No. 10 on the first Monday in
January, 1911, at the following
places: Manistee, Big Spring
and Fishville, and we are conf
dent of their opening if the teach
ers do not fail to show up at the
| time set for the opening.
! Pretty well all of the white
children in the parish have been
enrolled in the public schools, in
fact more children have enrolled
at this season of the year than
heretofore, and the attendance
has been better during the fall
term than at any time since my
connection with the school affairs
of the parish.
i During the quarter just closed
/ have visited every white school
in the parish from one to three.
times, remaining in the school
from one hour and a half to a day
and a half. By experience and
observation we find it greatly to
the interest of all concerned to be
in the field practically all the
time, and were it not for the
great amount of office work to be
done, in the way of attending to
the extensive correspondence and
keeping the books and records,
we could give more time to field
work or work of supervision.
So far as / have been able to
ascertain there is practically no
friction in any section of. the
parish; everything seems to be
running smoothly, and we are
hopeful it may continue to do so.
We have held seven meetings
for the teachers, at which most
all of the teachers were present
and manifested considerable in
terest in the discussions had.
Most Of them have the reading
course as prescribed or outlined
by the State Department of Edu-
cation, and with but few excep-
tons all seem to be trying to i'm
prave themselves along a profess
sional line, and are doing what
they can to build up the cause of
education in their respective COM
munities.
The transfers at Montgomery
and Verda are running every day,
and making an average daily at
tendance of about 80 pupils.
The barn and fence on the ag-
riculturaI farm located at Verda
have been completed and consid-
cradle farm work done by Mr.. |
Carpenter, the teacher in charge, |
and the boys taking the agricul-
tural course.
From the start made we are
confident that it is going to be a
great success, and the demon
strative work done at the Verda
high school is going to give quite
an impetus to agriculture in the
parish of Grant, and make some
good farmers out of many of our
boys.
It becomes your duty at this
time, or in the very near future,

Chicago, H., March 11.-Save the

conCisely states the object for which
the National Irrigation Congress is
working. The borad scope of it's en-
deayors and the splendid results from
irrigation in reclaiming arid land Is
bringing the best class of Chicago bus
mess men to actively aid in the prep
arations for the ninteenth annual
meeting of the Irrigation Congress in
Chicago, Dec. to 9.
The national organization of the
congress makes it easier to interest
busy men in the coming meeting. The

dents first, Fred W. Fleming, Kansas

When you take food into stom-
ach that is tired and over-taxed the
gastric juices do not form fast
enough to digest it properly. So the
food becomes sour and at once be-
gins to throw off gases. Your stom-
ach becomes inflated just as surely
as if you attached a toy balloon to
gas jet. Then the gases and foul
odors issue forth and pollute your
breath making you an object of nau-
sea to your friends. Your tongue
quickly becomes coated and you can
taste the fou.ness that is within you.
Now all this condition is changed
almost instantly by a Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablet. This little digester
gets busy at once-supplies all the
digestive juices that were lacking
digests the food in jiffy and op-
ems up the clogged stomach and
bowels. 1t also sweetens and re-
freshes the mucous lining of the
stomach and bowels and restores
peace and content.
If you will give Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets a chance they will not only
sweeten your stomach but also your
disposition and you will never have
another stomach i'll.
One grain of a single ingredient in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of food. This saves your
stomach and gives it the rest it
needs. ALI muscles require occasional
rest if they are ever overtaxed. The
stomach is no exception to this
rule.
Try a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and you will wonder how
you ever got along without them.
They are sold at so cents by all
druggists everywhere. A trial pack
age will be sent on request to F.

The family with young children that IS

instances. as any doctor knows, the child
suffers from some intestinal trouble,
usually constipation.
