COUPLE ARE
FOUND IN BAYOU SARA

A wedding a little out of the ordi.

1t seems that Curtis A. Delahous-

ish, was allowed the privilege of a
rusty in some Of the levee camps
around Morganza, and acted as a
guard, not having to wear stripes.
and being accorded the privileges
allowed the civilian guards. He was
granted pardon at the tail end of
the Sanders administration. During
the time he was at Morganza, he
mdea the acquaintance of Miss Ly-
dia Vosberg, the pretty sixteen.
year-old daughter of a prominent cit
lien of the M0rganza country. An
account of the elopement of the cou-
pie appeared in the city papers last

Nothing more was heard of the
couple until they came here last
Thursday They stayed here for sew

tention of an immediate marriage,
until the officers got after the man
and told him criminal charges would
be preferred against him unless he
married the girl. A license was
secured in New Roads, and Judge A.

hundreds of appeals for food and
clothing, and these are supplied as
We are able"
The people of West Feliciana, and
especially the people of Bayou Sara
and st. FrancisVille, have had much
to contend with during the five
weeks of the flood, and many of
them are utterly unable to contri-
butte anything toward relieving the
restitution in Pointe Coupee, as much
as they would like to give.
However, those who are able, are
urged to contribute to this worthy
cause, as we are sure the people
of Pointe Coupee would come to our
relief if the conditions were reversed.
Cash contributions will be received
at this office and forwarded to Mr..
Lecoq as fast as received. Contri-
buttons of clothing for men, women
and children will also be received at
The True Democrat office, but con-
tributions of this nature must be tho

MANY ATTORNEYS MAY
LOSE THEIR POSITIONS

The full significance of the two Sc
ries of letters sent out by Governor
Halls office Sunday, one to the ed
vocational and eleemosynary institu-
tons, to ascertain the clerical ex-
pense, and one to the levee boards,
suggesting" the elimination of the
board attorneys, is significant.
The letter to the institutions is in
quest Of data which, it is believed,
will justify a movement to have two
general boards, one for charitable in
situations and one for educational in
situations, to take the place of the
dozen or more boards, which now 60

various institutions. The circular
says:
THE Governor directs NE to con-
Vey to you the suggestion that in
the event your board is not direct
ed by law, either in its organic act
or by virtue of other Legislation, to
elect an attorney for the board, that
services Of counsel be dispensed with.
This suggestion is made solely in
the interest of economic administra-
ton.

ion for such professional services as
may be required through the office

EVERY FARMER CAN USE PAINT.

| lHe average 1armer seems TO think
that paint is used solely for ornament
and he is of all men most keenly
practical, he escheWs what he re-
CARDS as an Improbable luxury. It
is, perhaps, the rule rather than the
exception in some sections to see
houses and agricultural implements
sadly in need of repaint
OF course paint does improve the
appearance of property, but is far
| more useful as a protector rather
than an ornament. The expenditure
of a small amount of money and
time in painting a valuable piece of
farm machinery or a building will
add greatly to the length of it's life.
Another useful object accomplished
by painting is the improved sanitary
conditions of buildings and outhouses
The cost of such work is small, the
necessary equipment not expensive,
and with proper care will last a
long time.
In order to supply information
which will enable the farmer to pur-
chase the paint economically and ap-
ply it intelligently and to the best
advantage, Secretary Wilson caused
experts in the bureau of chemistry
to investigate the subject and pre-
pare Farmers Bulletin No. 474 call
ing attention to the economic i'm
portance of painting farm buildings
and equiment and giving details as
to cost, purchase, and care of the
brushes, cost of the ingredients need
ed, how to mix and apply them.
The secretary, in addition to urg-
ing the proper use of paints for both
useful and ornamental purposes, for
he does not think anything too good
or attractive for the farm homes, en-
phasized several precautions: DO
not use any paint containing com
pounds of lead about the stables Or
outbuildings where the fumes from
decaying organic matter occur, since
these gases are likely to darken the
lead paints. Do not use with lead
compounds any pigment which may
liberate compounds of sulphur. For
example, ultramarine blue which con-
tains sulphur in a form in which it
may be used with zinc white, but
should not be used with white lead
or any other lead pigments. Prus-
sian blue, on the contrary, does not
contain sulphur and may be used
with lead pigments.
Remember that turpentine and
benzine are very inflammable and
especial precautions should be taken
not to bring paint containing these
substances near any light Or open
fire.
Many pigments are poisonous,
and the workman should be particu-
larly careful to remove all paint
stains from the skin, and not under
any circumstances allow any of it
to get into his mouth. A man should
not eat in the same clothes in which
he has been painting, and before
eating should not only change his
clothes but wash all paint stains
from his skin. 1t is not advisable to
use turpentine or benzine in remov-
ing paint stains from the hands, but
by oiling them thoroughly with lin
seed oil, in fact, with any fatty oil,
and then thoroughly washing with
soap, the paint may be removed, pro-
vidcd it has not been allowed to dry
too thoroughly on the hands"
