1t is very important that these

Fine Exhibits at Parish Fair,
NUMBER 21.

To those interested in art, it will
be gratifying news to learn that Mrs.
H. V. Mielly, who has been in cores
pondence with Prof. Ellsworth and
Prof. MILAN Woodward Of New
comb and Tulane Colleges, has re-
ceived word that an exhibit will be
sent to our Parish Fair. This should
be greatly appreciated by our people.
Milan Woodward's pictures are
famous and need no explanation.
Newcomb's exhibit will consist Of
jewelry, embroidery, modelling and
carving. Newcomb pottery has re-
ceived international attention and
earned European prizes for unique
and original excellence of design. It
is due to the interest and highly cul-
tured taste possessed by the people
of Lafayette that makes it possible
to obtain this exhibit, for exhibits are
not sent to an unappreciated COM
munity from Newcomb, one Of the
South's greatest colleges.

The same elements of interest and
strength that went to make Harold
MacGrath's well-known novel "The
Goose Girl one of the "six best sell
lers" of fiction, are present in even
greater measure in the dramatization
of the book by George D. Baker. THE
Goose Girl' which will be one of the
early attractions here, is full of heart
interest, royal love-making, plotting
and intrigue, and few plays, even of
the romantic school, have as many
dramatic situations crowded into the
space of their unfolding as has "The
Goose Girl.

Washington, D. C.-The Colon

who informed the state department
that he considers Secretary Knox's
visit TO his country inopportune,' 10
thought to have deliberately insulted
the United States government.
He gives two reasons for his warn
ing: That the United States has
placed Colombia without the pale Of
civilized nations by refusing to extend
to her, in connection with the Pan
ANA controversy, the proposal of gen.
eral arbitration, In which all other ma.
tons Of the earth have been invited
to Join, and that his last demand for
arbitration, presented to the state de-
partmcnt on November Is, has been
left unanswered.
Developments Are Watched.
1t is also understood in diplomatic
circles that one of the reasons for the
position taken by the Colombian min.
lister and for his reference to the
wounding Of his country's feelings is
that in the first paragraph of the cir
cular note to which he has replied, a
haunting reference was made by Hunt
ingdon Wilson to Secretary Knox's in
tention of visiting Panama.
It is declared that the representa-.
tives Of Mexico, Nicaragua and Hon
duras are contemplating, for other and
various reasons. following General
Ospina's example, and developments
are being watched with intense in

Washington.
