Women and Love Letters.

1t Is one OF the settled facts In the
history Of love letters that men will
write and women will keep. A woman
cherishes her love letters as she cher
ishes her mirror or her powder puff
She kisses them before she goes to
bed, and presses them to her bosom
before she does her hair up in the
morning. She reads them for weeks
and knows where to find them for
years; and about the only safe thing
the man who has written them can do
is to marry her.

or water plug and can throw u

the building, which makes it impos-
sible for the building to be destroyed

Nor is this all. We read in Jen-
nings papers-when they tell what
they have-that it is all paid for.
Now we can 90 little bit further
than that; we can say that it is paid
for in good hard cash and that we do
not owe a dollar on it. We do not
mean that it Is paid for with bonds
running for many Years to come and
drawing a high rate of interest.
For some time it has been the policy
of the Parish Board to abolish the
small country schools and centraliEe
them in graded schools where they
can have better advantages. We
have four wagonettes running in diff
ferent directions and bringing the
tlittle ones to school in the morning
and returning them to their homes
in the evening.
Last wear we had an enrolment OF
800. Nor is this all. We have ss
good faculty as can be found any,
where, and we believe that they are
doing as good work as any in the
state. In proof of this we will say
that last year when the Calcasieu Par
ish Fair Association offered prizes
for the best exhibits from the di ferent
high schools that the Welsh School
carried away the sweepstakes, winning
over all the rest and being awarded
over 800. 90 worth Of prizes,
1t is a great source of pride to- the
citizens of welsh to know that when
our children graduate from our High
School that they are indeed graduates.
They have taken highest rank in all
the colleges where they have gone
after finishing here.
We invite all those having children
to educate to bring them to Welsh and
we will do our best for them and we
will guarantee that when they have
finished here that their education will
be so thorough that they will be we'll
equipped for life's battles.

Welsh SCHOOLS EQUAL
TO ANY IN SOUTHWEST La,
Modern Building, Splendid Equipment
Competent Faculty, and Work
Equal to Any School in State
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Having read with much interest the
letter In the Jennings Times. Record,
written by an innocent Welsh farmer
(whom we have since learned lives in
Jennings) about the many strange
and interesting things he saw there,
among which was the $4,000 school
house and its equipment, | thought it
might not be amiss to tell q few things
about the Welsh Schools.
For several wears Welsh has had
the reputation of having one of the
best schools in southwest Louisiana.
We have $4,000 building fully
equipped with everything to be found
in first class school.
A few years ago the Parish Board
made this the Central Ward High
School Of w ard Two.
Our building is modern throughout.
We have everything that is required
from sanitary standpoint. We
have city water connected into the
building, which the State Board has
analyzed and pronounced to be as
nearly pure as it is possible to get it
We have sanitary toilets, sanitary
cesspool or sewerage system. We
have sanitary perforated pipes through
which the water flows, and where Il
children can quench their thirst at one
time and still not be in danger 0
contracting disease germs from eacl
other. We have water in the Labora
tory on the second floor, where thu
children so much need it. And thel
we have one of those things
which the "Welsh Farmer? speak

is to adopt plan, of the most good
and the least resistance. Welsh, La. (,
is in the race for the Parish seat, she
is also in the center of the parish, and
she promises to become the center OF
the population in very short time.
Welsh is now no competitor with Elton
in u mercantile standpoint, and Elton,
would have time to grow stronger
and expend, as Welsh grows and ex-
ponds: Hence if YOU have an interest
in your own town and home, cast YOUR
votes for town which offers you no

SUPPORT YOUR OWN
TOWN AND HOME.
You Can Do This By Voting For Welsh
as Welsh is not a Competitor
and Jennings is.
The Elton Progress.

Several of our Elton citizens, who
are loud Jennings supporters have
given for their reasons for supporting
Jennings: That Jennings is good
town: That it makes YOU feel like you
are in q city when you get there; You
find more to see and to please YOU.
You have good roads upon which to
travel. and you further lind many good
people after you get theresa long
as YOUR coin holds out.
This is all very we'll from Jennings
standpoint. You seem to have but one
thing in view, and that is to boost and
improve Jennings. What does Elton
owe Jennings anyhow? If you are in
terested in Elton. why not support
Elton.
From mercantile standpoint, Jen-
nings and Kinder arenow both Elton s
strongest competitors, and they are
both frantic over the Parish seat ques.
ton. Can't you see at glance, that
if these two towns succeed in getting
the parish seats, where Elton will be
from mercantile standpoint. They
are now drawing custom from over
half way from those points to Elton
and the acquisition of a parish seat If
either one, or both of these places
would give Elton black eve tina
would never heal. Further, Jenning s
is known as a strong rival of Lake
Charles from a political ring-grafter!

Young writer's the author of this piece
OF fiction hides his identity under a

title Your Brother Farmer" which
doubtless is meant to serve the double
purpose OF concealing the identity of
the writer and also deluding possibly
few people Into the belief that the
writer was a real farmer rather than q
mere make believe. In this piece of
fiction the principal character paws
the roll of farmer from near Welsh,
who desiring to learn something ofthat
great metropolitan center OF business,
the town on our eastern border, one
day hitched up his horse and drove to
jennings, which he found to be a
source of uuenGing surprises and
wonder. In fact this rural son of the
soil that sprang from the verdent
brain of the writer of this article
found more wonders in Jennings to
excite his Imagination than the" Babes
in Fairy Land" ever dreamed of.
The first great source of wonder anG
surprise was when he found that Jen'
