such as we have here, l think it
would be an excellent plan to
have an Exhibition Day, when
all the pupils could bring togeth-
er their several productions, eS.
pecially at or near the beginning
of a term, when they may collect
fruit and vegetable products.
Also, sewing, painting and
drawing exhibits, all Of which
would certainly make a wonder
full display. One thing that Of
ten tends to make the school
dull, is the lack of interest on
the part of the teacher. A tea
cher who is interested in the
work of the pupils is always try
ing to encourage them in every
way possible. and to keep them
full of interest and attention.
For, if once these two factors
are lost, soon the school, as a
whole, begins to decline.
In regard to the patrons of the
school it is necessary that we
dwell upon this point, as we shall
notice. How often it is the case
that patrons who, probably. have
not been inside the school house
for ten years, are the ones who
are finding some fault, continu-
ally.
The thing for such persons to
do, is to visit the school and see
for themselves what good it is
doing, and they will not have to
take some one else's word for it.
Therefore, as a summary of all
that has been said, 1 would urge
the pupils to be diligent, which
will make the teacher interested,
and would kindly invite the pa
irons to visit the school and note
the work being done there.

Another thing that is helpful
to the school is the literary Lart.
"Oh, my! how I do dread litera-
ry day!" we say. But, however,
it should not be a time of dread,
because, is it not for our own
good?
It gives us chance to express
our own thoughts, and at the
same time, we are adding to our
own new thoughts and ideas
from what the others say.
To a certain extent we also be-
come accustomed to speaking.
And thus we see that it is help
full in more than one way.

quires work from the teacher,
the pupils, the patrons. We will
now mention a few of the things
that would create interest and
enthusiasm, and tend to make it
better in general.
First, let us not forget that
one must always speak good
word for his own school. Now
suppose one Of us should happen
to be talking among a crowd of
people about our school, and in a
sighting manner, as if it were
doing no good. what would nat
urally be the result? Why, each
person would tell someone else

whole neighborhood would be
telling that the school was of nc
account, and was making no pro.

So, in order to make everyone
see that the school is doing some
good, we must all be diligent anc

ing.
Imports from the Orient to the
United States have been increas-
ing heavily since the Underwood
Simmons tariff law went into
effect.
The Chinese and japanese man
ufaC turers are so enthusiastic a.
bout the prospects for Selling
their cheap goods in this country
under the frae- trade policy that
they have informed American
consuls abroad that they need
more machinery.
A great revival of products
manufactured from cotton or
wool is reported both in China
and Japan, this being due almost
wholly to the fact that the Uni
ted States has reduced its tariff
laws. Orientals belieye that they
cannot only make a tremendous
profit by selling their goods in
the United States, but that they
can make their prices so low that
many Americans will be driven
out of the market.
Large numbers of caUJle are
now coming across the border

correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer says in Sundays paper
of November 8, that an analysis
of the vote shows that the Dem
ocrats lost heavily as compared
with 1912, although in that year
the vote was far below normal.
The only party which increased
its vote was the Republican par
ty; it took the second place from
the Bull Moosers; and the En-
quirer says that the belief that
the Progressiyes have no chance
to run first is causing deserters
to return to the Republican par
ty. The Bull Moosers elected
only four mayors. In places
where the Republicans and Bull
Moosers buried their differences
they found the Democrats easy

Committee are hopeful of carry

THE CHEEK OF SOME
PEOPLE,.

Goo-Goo followers all over the
state are patting themselves on
the back and saying that the
Goo-Goos won a victory over the
regulars, by the election of Sen
ator Amacker, as President Pro
Tempore of the Senate, at the
recent extraordinary session Of
the legislature.
It has always been the habit
of those in the minority to make
the most fuss over nothing, and
this is rightfully applicable to
the esteemed Good Government
League, since they claim Sena-
tor Amacker as one of their
party, when as a matter of fact
Senator Amacker has been a
Regular Democrat, all of his life.
In the race for the President
Pro Tenn of the Senate, there
were two regulars and only one
administration man, that being
Senator G.. w. Smith,, of Rich
land, who was a weak contender
for the position. When the race
took a definite shape it was
found that Senator Davey, Of
New Orleans and MIR. Amacker,
of Caddo, were the only candi-
dates.
Senator Amacker was finally
elected. He is a regular and
still the Goo Coos claim him as
one of their partisans. Who
won the victory, the Goo Coos or
the ''Regulars?"

It is hereby ordered that the

on the 18th day of September,
and adjourn on the 18th day of
July of each and every year and
remain in session throughout the

It is, however, for the pur-
pose of convenience, further or
dered that said ten months
period be subdivided into terms
as follows, to-Wit:

September, Civil term for two
weeks.

week.

The number of weeks opposite
each term merely indicates the
time allotted for that term.
Therefore, If the condition of
the docket does not justify the

to the expiration of the time al

able that a term be prolonged
beyond the time allotted, it may

GOOD A d

Fol a few days during the
week the streets in this city
were impossible, due to a show
er, each day for some six or
eight days. If the streets were
in such a condition, with SO very
little rain, we would like to
know, how the farmers will be
able to come to town, during the
winter months, when it rains
nearly every day, for weeks and
weeks?
IF one would stop for one mo-
ment and consider the savings a
system o f G o 0 d, substantial
roads would be in this parish,
he would not hesitate one sec
ond to go down in his pocket and
pay a few cents for a good roads
tax.
The Police Jury in the early
part Of the summer passed an
ordinance calling an election for
a good roads tax, but in some
way or other, there was some
technical error in the drawing of
the ordinance, thereby render
ing it null, and the matter of a
tax, by which the farmers of st.
Landry could enjoy good roads,
by paying just the least bit more
than they are at present paying,
was dropped. and the lid was
literally placed upon this most
vital subject.
The time is at hand for the
Jury to call an election,
as the people can not go around
the tax, when the roads are in
such a condition as they were

think, and it is the opinion of
the Clarion that he will figure
prominently in the next guberna-
torial fight. either for himself,
or for his candidate.
In the case that Barrett or
Sanders would be the next Gov
ernor, we think that one would
make a wise executive from his
long years of experience at the
State House, whilst the other
would profit by his own expe-
rience, as one Of the best gov
errors Louisiana, ever has had.
Whilst the time is rather far
distant before the first blood in
the fight for the next head OF
the state will be drawn, it is
pretty much of a certainty that
Sanders will be urged to an
nounce himself a candidate for
the Office, which he held so
creditably, but the fact Of which
was not known, by many of his
enemies, until they placed Hall
in the. chair at Baton Rouge.
Sanders is the man Louisiana
needs for Governor, and here is
hoping that the majority of the
voters will realize this
fact when the election of 1916
will take place.
