Theatre next Friday night promises
to be an unusually interesting per-

Written by a master dramatist. Sir
Arthur Wing Pinero is =unquestionably
England's greatest living playwright.
He has held this place, in spite of
keen competition, for more than ten
years. Each new play from his
clever pen is something not only every
one OF taste, but every one who
would keep in touch with his time,
must see.
'sTrelaWney of the Wells is one.
Of the best known Of his recent plays.
It has been presented on the best
stages in England and America, and

secured.
The play itself is pretty low :

The characters represent every
walk of life. including theatrical folk

way through and vet 1t has a lesson
which is of the highest value to old

actors bring out the hulnof there is
to be gotten from the comedy, while
they throw into the serious parts the
IDEALS which belong only to youth IN

Assumption Has II, Too.

From Ascension and West Baton
Rouge comes news of a determine
ton to relegate tos the past the pres
ent expensive system of spending
money for roads that are only good
IN good weather. It is a fact that
Assumption, and nearly every parish
in the state, has spent money
enough building dirt roads, which if
Jumped in a round sum, would pave
every highway and by-way in the
parish. IberVille is furnishing an
object lesson for ali parishes that
a planning permanent roads, and
the citizens of IberVille are today
the most enthusiastic gravel road
boosters in the state.
Assumption has led all other par
ishes in model dirt roads, and now
that we are convinced the up-keep
of dirt roads is a continual expense
for roads that cannot be depended
on, it is certainly up to Assumption
to take its place among the parishes
that are leading with permanent
roads. assumption Pioneer.

ST. John Ia Line.

Our. readers and the public in gen
eral are aware of the construction
of model dirt roads in our parish.
Over $1,000 has been expended to
date for this work, which brings the
first cost per mile to a figure ex-
ceeding $1,000.
What have we today for this large
expenditure?
Nothing but dirt road, impossible
in some sections, owing to excessive
rainfall.
The zMeschacebe understands that
gravel roads are being constructed
in Iberville parish at a cost per mile
of $1,000, only $500 per mile over the
cost of ours.
And gravel roads are permanent,
whereas dirt roads demand a main
tenance which is costly. to say the
least
Could not the police. jury evolve a
plan to finance the gravel road pro-
ject?
Our present contract with the state
is a costly one, and are we getting
the value of our money?
Let us try to discuss this most
important subject and, if possible,
stop the ineffective and costly sys-
tenn lately adopted in good faith.
The membership Of our police jury
is progressive and will surely enter
tain any suggestions from the tax
payers toward deyising plans for ar
irving at a satisfactory solution
Of this problem -Meschacebe.
