The Candidates Hold Forth at Bentley.

The Candidates Hold Forth at Bentley.
Colfax, Route l, Dec. 26.
Editor CoIfax Chronicle:
Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 8 p. m.
was the hour appointed for Judge
Hall, candidate for Governor, and
other State candidates, to address
the people of Bentley in the in
terest of their candidacy. The
candidates for ward officers took
advantage of tn e occasion by
meeting the people promptly at
1:3O p. M, and held forth inter-
estingly in the presentation of
their respective claims.
/ The Hall party did not arrive
until about A O'Clock. Two of the
candidates for Representative of
Grant parish were present. and
each made a pleasing address to
the people. We are glad to see
the candidates for parish officers
and the minor officers coming in
to the lime light and presenting
their claims for the offices to
which they aspire. | will say to
their credit that they are all con-
Quoting their campaign with the
utmost respect for their oppo-
nents. They are leaving the mud
singing to the big guns.
The speakers were, 7. 0. Hart
and Geo. A. Foster, candidates
for representative, c. U. Robin
son, for 1st magistrate ward two,
Joe T. Lee, for LIST constable of
ward two, George Gray and Rob-
ert East, for police juror, R. L.
Parish, for I'd magistrate, and
j. w. Hadnot, for I'd constable.
All of the candidates made an
interesting and pleasant showing
in behalf of their candidacy.
The last named failed in some
way to be included in the official
list of candidates published by
the committe as those to be on
the ticket in the coming prima-
ry. He informed the people that
he is in the race with both feet
Notwithstanding, and that he will
make arrangements to have his
name stamped on the ticket
in the general election in April,
which he claims will be legal and
right under the circumstances.
We are glad to see so many
good. men in the race for the diff.
ferent offices, and hope to see .
great improvement along all lines
tending to the uplifting of deal

Assisting the Voter.

In an editorial the Picayune inter-
prets the primary election law as
authorizing any voter to call on one
of the commissioners of election to
assist him in marking his ballot.
This Interpretation is rather of wide
range and would not stand the test
of common sense. 1t il only fair that
the voter who il incapacitated by
physical disability, or who could not
read and write, may ask one of the
commissioners at the poll where the
voter would vote to assist hin in
marking his ballot, but this privi-
lege is not intended for the individual
who can mark his ballot. If it is
conceded that all voters may get as
sistance from commissioners or a
watcher at the poll, then the spirit
of the law will be nuilified and the
primary system win become farce,
as any and all voters who have sold
their votes can make the delivery,
being the proof that his ticket has
been marked as it, was bargained
that he should vote.
1t is on the secrecy of the ballot,
Mt the primary or at ii general cleo
tion. State, parish or local, that an
election may be held without frauds
which are shocking and smell to the
clouds.-Shreveport Caucasian.

To Arrange Hair.

Dear Miss Doom:
I have read the many ways in which
you answer questions and now want to
ask you one myself. l have a child of Il
years of age, who has quite light hair. 1t
is very short, however, for it comes only
to her shoulders. l cannot fad a way to
Ak her hair which suits her, as it is very
thin and will not so up nicely. VIII you
please suggest a couple of ways?
A MOTHER.
l think the best way will be to part it
in the middle, roll it back owe side
combs and tie it in the back with a
large bow If the child isn't very large
for her age, 1 would advise you to have
her hair cut again and hen treat it
night and morning, in order to assur a
good growth. Use vaseline or crude oil
and massage it well into the scalp for
about ten or fifteen minutes. Is your
little daughter in good physical eondi-
ton? Remember thai the health of the
hair depends largely upon the health of
the entire system.

The influence of England and France
is strongly felt in this country when
mourning is worm For many years
American wore nuns yelling as
a badge of bereavement. That day is
passed. Heavy English crepe is now
shown not only in hats and wells, but
forms a strong feature upon the coats
and dresses of those who are wearing
black.
From France comes the headdress for
mourners. The veil is not worn over
the face. II is draped on the back
of the hat with many folds and hangs
to or below the waist line.
Even the widows wear hats. The sign
of ~widowhood is the narrow ruche
which is worn underneath the rim of
the rolling hat. The latter is formed
of heavy crepe made of folds and a
crushed crown.
The dress of a very handsome cos
tune for a widow was recently made
of China crepe. This was so elabor-
ately trimmed with English crepe
that little of the main part of the
dress was eeen. The heavy English
material reached within twelve inches
of the waist line in front and at the
side and back the crepe was put on
for a depth of twenty inches. The
yoke was of black chiffon. The collar
and bow were of the crepe, while crepe
bands were ON the short sleeves. The
