DIVISION MASS MEETING
AUDITORIUM, SATURDAY 9Th
For Consideration of Lines And
Other Matters Pertaining to
Creation Of New Parish.

A general mass meeting OF the peO-
pie OF the proposed parish 81 Jefferson
Davis, has been called to meet in the
Auditorium in Welsh, Saturday,
April 9Th, 1912. at 10 o'clock in the
morning.
The purpose OF this meeting is to
effect as far as possible an AMIGA BILE
agreement, upon which all sections Of
the proposed new parish to be created
in the Southeastern part Of Calcasieu,
may unite. Now that Division is
conceded to be certainty by pract-
caly everyone, the questions of
division and subdivision cease to be
an issue, and the more vital one Of an
harmonious agreement OF all sections
within the proposed new parish upon
the question Of lines and such other
points concerning the internal struct-
ure Of the new parish demand the at
tentlon OF the people. To this end
this meeting has been called, and
urgent invitations sent to representa-
tive citizens in every section and
voting precinct OF the proposed new
parish, to attend it. While large
number OF invitations have been
mailed out, it was impossible to reach
every one in that manner therefore q
general invitation is extended through
the press to every voter in the pro-
posed new parish, and to all others
interested in the welfare Of the new
parish to meet and participate IN this
mass meeting.
Your presence at this meeting is
urgently requested. You doubtless
have suggestions and objections that
will be valuable il presented ia time
to be utilized. Your are the people,
and the people should rule.

the word along.
Louisiana, however, according to
northern sugar beet raisers, finds it
easier to c0agulate sentiment against
free sugar, because Of the transcend
ent importance there of the sugar in
dustry.
The whole situation. however, has
given the north demonstration that
will not soon be forgotten Chat when
energetic action is needed, it will be
found that the sOntherner is no less
quick and no less aggressive than his
northern cousin in going after what
he wants.. L. Whitman, Chicago.

II the north has ever thought the

tariff, and thus destroy the cane

which by putting sugar on the free
list will give the sugar sale monopoly

Here are some Of the steps taken in

Keepers at the Zoo
Help Snakes Undress
This Is the Time of the Year When Reptiles Take
Off Their Summer Clothing for
the Winter

When Lizzie the pet rattlesnake of
the Washington Zoo, was being skinned
to improvs her complexion the other
day she gazed reproachfully at her
keeper over the back of the tonge which
securely held her head. Lizzie felt that
though Washington might be ahead In
some things, a snake was not given much
of a show to make things interesting
here as in other cities.
In New York, for example. the rattle
snakes and poisonous reptiles are pushed
out of their cages at the point of a
forked stick. and then pursued around
the park until finally pinned down at its
point, when the skinning takes place.
This gives the snake some chance to
make things lively. In a spirit of fair
play, the keepers omit leather gloves
and other means of Protection, and the
snake has a chance to test the quality
of its poison since its period of confine-
ment.
Elizabeth. however. was securely fas-
tened just back of the neck with a pair
of tongs before her change to winter
styles was effected. She was nipped with
this instrument in her cage. taken out
and coolly skinned, while size was Ieering
sideways at her keeper. reproachfully
showing him a set of perfectly good
fangs.'

they neglect to change their clothes once

HELPFUL HINTS FOR MEN.
THE VALUE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF DRESS.

primitiveness. lack of experience. and In
some cases lack of moral sensitiveness.
In the age of puritanism simplicity was
the keynote. II was an age Of extreme
simplicity, and the dress of those times
tells of meekness, conservatism, and
soberness. Times have changed. The
world has grown and expanded and the
dress to-day is well adapted to the times.
There is something of progressiveness,
impstience, and ambition which can be
read in IL.
Men should show taste In dress, and
attire themselves in those clothes which
will best display their characteristics. A
boy should dress in clothes which are
suited TO his age-simple. serviceable gar
ments. The young man who Is full OF
life and vigor should dress in more fiashy
clothes AS he advances in years he
should tone his dress down. When he
reaches the sunset years of his life he
should befit the age by dorning garments
of a more staid and sober appearance.
Dressing should adapt itself to sur
rounding conditions--the characteristics
OF the age. the manners of the wearer
and his own age.
The Washington herald., 1912-09-01

II am sorry, miss came the reply,
but those are the orders. Before we
can issue the mail We must learn wheth-
er or not you are minor. How old did
you say you were?''
81 haven't said yet, but If you must
know, I'm sixteen"
Have you written instructions from
your parents?' asked the clerk.
Why, ! never heard of such a thing
she replied. I've been getting mail here
for months, and never before have
been asked such silly questions. No; l
haven't any written Instructions"
Then, I'm sorry. MISS" said the
clerk, but We shall be compelled TO
hold your. mail until you produce, the
necessary Instructions
The young girl giared at the clerk and
truned away sorrowfully. Several others
were rejected in a like manner. And 1t
is with tears in their eyes that the
clerks break the sad news to the pretty
lasses. 1t means that the rare fiocks
of choice femlninity which had patron
lied the windows will come to them no
more. ~
The young maidens and the romantic
lovers OF the male sex will not be the
only persons affected by the recent or
der. The ordinance provides that every
effort shall be made to diminish the
amount Of mail passing through the gem
erai delivery. Consequently. persons
The Washington herald., 1912-09-01

Did you ever realize what an important
part dress plays in this age?
1t has won success for some men.
1t has won for some men golden friend
ships and good opinions from their fel-
lows.
1t has been the factor which has kept
some men from rising in the world.
1t is distinctive of the man himself.
Therefore. II behooves men to pay care
full attention to their personal attire. The
man in the business world who pays but
little attention to his dress Is seriously
handicapped. He need not be dressed
fiashily, but he should be attired neatly
in well tailored clothes. There Is moth
ing which lowers a man in the estimation
of his friends like shabby dressing.
The well dressed man is a pleasure to
behold. You feel that II is good TO asso-
ciate with him. He need not be wealthy;
he need not be Of blue -Alood: but If
he is well attn ID he would be looked
upon with favor by persons on all sides.
There Is nothing so fine as to receive
golden opinions from all sorts Of people"
The Washington herald., 1912-09-01

who now are in the habit Of regularly
receiving their mail through the general
delivery will be requested to give rea-
sons why such mail should not be dis
tributed through the city delivery. If
the reasons are insufficient the authori-
ties will compel the persons to have
their mail addressed to their residences
or places of business.
Although there are a good many girls
and young men who patronize the gen.
eral delivery window" said L. ]. Robin
son. assistant postmaster, yesterday aft
ernoon, the order is not aimed primar-
lily at them. The object of 1t is to
diminish the amount of mail passing
through the general delivery, with view
to simplifying the work and expediting
delivery. At present the general deliv-
cry Is used to a great extent. As
result considerable time is often taken
to locate letters called for, there being
so many missiyes to examine. General
watch has to be kept SO that those
marked please return after such and
such time II not delivered may be
taken out and sent back.
Much of the mail passing through the
general delivery could be sent through
the city delivery just as well. II 1t were
done the work would be lightened the
delivery would be expedited, and the sit
uation at the post-office would be clari-
fed. We are requesting the public to
Cooperate with VS. in this matter.
I'm fhe larger cities l suppose the
question Of girls and young men clan
destineiy making appointments and ex-
changing love letters by means of the
general delivery is more momentcus
one than 1t Ii here. / scppose there are
a good many such lovers who patronize
the office here. but SO far We have not
received notices from any of their par
ents concerning the matter. Our plan
e requiring special instructions from
the parents viii put an end to these
secret postal courtships.
The order concerning the use of the
general delivery here Is as follows:
Hereafter mail will not be delivered
through the general delivery to minors
without specific instructions from the
parent or guardian to make such deiiy-
