schools of any parish in this part of

tax, and heartily endorsed a parish
wide tax as being the most equitable
and feasible plan for raising revenue
for the support of all Of the schools of

Impromptu Mass Meeting and Love
Feast

I, The school board was in session the
first two days of this week, and their
sentire proceedings will be found in this
issue. The first day was interesting
and somewhat exciting, owing to the
presence of forty or fifty persons from
various sections of the parish, who
came in to protest against the propos-
ed levying of parish wide 5-mills tax
in aid of the schools. To accommodate
the crowd the board held its sitting in
the court room. and a number of citi-
zens were called on to express their
views on the subject.
The opposition to the proposed tax
was quite pronounced at first, but af-
ter discussion of the matter it was
found that the differences were not so
very great after ALL In fact, it was
agreed that everybody wanted about
the same thing, and if certain local
conditions could be met and some legal
complications Strengthened out, there
would not be great deal of serious
opposition to the proposal.
So pronounced and marked was this
sentiment of concord, that it was final
: ly agreed that sort of harmonizing
committee should be appointed to go
to Alexandria and confer with District
Attorney Jno. K. Hunter, to see if
the tax could not be levied, collected
and distributed in conformity to law
and satisfactory to the wishes of the
people in the various communities.
The committee appointed for this pur-
pose We're H. L. Brian, 7. c. Lince-
cum and Supt. J. N. Warner, who went
to Alexandria on Wednesday for this
purpose.
We learn that the committee, after
consultation with Mr.. Hunter, find that
the tax can be levied in satisfactory
manner to those most concerned, and
that petitions have been prepared and
are being cirl plated among the pc1ple,
asking that the question of tax Of no
tax for schools be submitted to an cleo
'tion. This eIfction will in all probabiIi-
'fy be ordered by the school board
when it meet again on Wednesday,
July l6.

PRINTING 10000

STAMPS A MINUTE.
It is a fact not generally known that
the United states has at Washington,
one Of the largest and best equipped
printing plants in this or any other
country. Uncle Sam may be safely
said to hold the worlds record as a
printer-not only in size of plant,
number of employees and extent of out
put, but also in up-to-date scientific
management, efficiency and economy.
An interesting example of what this
sort of modern efficiency means is a
machine which prints gums and per
forates 1900 postage stamps a, min
ute. Figuring on an eight hour day,
this is a production of 5,76O, 600 two
cent stamps, worth Sis, 200, as a, day S
work for the two operators required
ON the machine. The stamps are shot
out-there is no other way to express
it-at the rate of 70 feet a minute
This means over six miles of posage
stamps a, day.
The machine eliminates 10 separate
operations required by the previous
method of printing and has effected a
saving of 81 per cent. in cost. The
whole apparatus, which is three feet
wide, twenty-five feet long and seven
fet high is driven by Crocker-
Wheeler motor. Cine man and a girl
are able to operate the entire ma
chine and tie perfcrating device con-
nected with it, Mr.. B. R. Stickney,
mechanical expert Of the United States
Bureau of Printing and Engraving, is
the inventor who developed the ma
chine for the special use of the gov
eminent printing plant.
