The meeting of the As You

tertaining but instructive also.
Everyone felt that it was an eve
ming well spent and had learned
a great deal. Pictures represent
ing the different authors and
poets were pinned on each guest
and each one had to guess them
all. Beautiful scenes were illus
trated in different parts of the
house, these representing differ
ent books. Two Of these were
especially pretty, one a picture
of a brook and another of a
bridge. The prizes, beautiful
hand made gowns, the work of
our talented hostess, were pre-
sented to Mrs. j. c. Mcknight
and Miss Willie Roberts. The
BOBBY prizes, both illustrated
animal books, fell to Mrs. C. w.
LaCroix and Mrs. Bourg.
The guests were invited into
the dining room and served to a
delicious luncheon consisting of
pressed chicken, fruit salad,
olives, crackers and iced tea, by
Mrs. G. H. Mcknight and host
ess. The taIIys and place cards
were in booklet form with the
different authors names written
on them. Mrs. G. H. Mcknight
and little daughter Florine assist

The nice old tom cats and the
favorite tabby cats that people
keep about their homes, as rule,
are very destructive on little
chickens. They become very
sly about it, seldom ever catch
ing a little chick except at night,
or very early in the morning.
During the bright hours of the
day old cats will sit or lie in the
sunshine, and the little chickens
can run around them, and even
run over them. without being
noticed. A correspondent of
Texas Farm and Ranch gives an
account of an old tom
cat caught sitting with the shells
of half dozen eggs lying around
that he had eaten, and says that
cats frequently destroy whole,
nests full of eggs. He says that
the old stray tom cats or tabbys
without home or owner will de-
stroy more eggs, chickens, song
birds and quail than any dozen
varmints" in the country.

1t Was a Glorious Victory.

4
The returns from the election
held in Grant parish on last Tues
day, to vote on the question of
levying parish wide tax of 5
mills for 5 years in aid of the
public schlols, was a glorious
victory in favor of the tax. The
popular vote stood 450 for, to 184
against, and liberalization in prop
erty for the tax was 1921, AS to
S235, 668 against.
This WIS a splendid test of the
liberality and spirit Of progress
siveness among the property
holders of Grant parish, There
are several peculiar features
about the vote. Ward one (Col-
fax ward) cast a larger vote in
valuation than all the rest of the
parish put together, 1928, 800 of
the entire S557, 113 values being
cast in this ward.
Another popularity of the vote
is that of the 81, 016, GA assessed
to the resident tax payers only a
a little more than half of the
resident valuation was voted.
The popularity of conditions in
Grant is enhanced when it is con-
sidered that of the entire taxable
values of the parish, $4, 395, 044,
the nonresident tax payers are.
assessed with $3,37S, 450. This
shows that for every dollar the
resident tax payers have voted
upon their own property they
will get 1887 from nonresident
property holders, of timber, saw
mills, railroads, etc. This makes
it a fine business proposition to
our resident citizens.
In spite of this plain business
proposition, it was feared that
ward one with its power of
wealth would defeat the tax.
which it could easily have done
had not such liberal and public
spirited citizens supported the
tax with their money and inhu-
ence as j. H. McNeely, who vot-
ed 500, 271 in favor of the tax;
and Capt. c. H. Teal, $27. G33;
G. H. Mcknight, SIS, 851; C. w.
LaCroix, 10, 366; DIR. Blackwood,
DR.. Gray, j. w. Duncan, c. H 4
Tumminello, and others who vot-
ed from $1,000 to $4,000 worth of
property in favor of the propo-.
sition. Under such leadership
the movement became infectious,
and it carried the popular vote in
this ward by a majority of Is,
and came within SIS, 342 of carry
ing the money valuation in it's
its favor.

II Looks Well on Paper, But the Real
Thing is Better Still.

1t Looks Well on Paper, But the Real
Thing is Better Still.
The network of model high
ways, embracing the State sys-
tenn of good roads. as planned by
the Louisiana Board of Engineers
is being published in map form
by a number of the State papers,
and we must say it looks ex-
tremely well on paper. The sys-
tenn when completed will be ap-
proximately $500 miles, but thus
far less than one-tenth of the
system has been built. Grant
parish we believe, stands at the
head of the list of parishes en-
braced in the system when it
comes to road work actually done
under the supervision of the
State board of engineers. We
have in Grant parish seventy
five miles of model roads already
completed and in actual use, the
entire system as shown on the
map being already completed
with the exception of about six
teen miles. This is a matter OF
pride to all of our citizens, and is
a constant cause for congratula-
ton by every stranger who pass
es through our borders.
Thus our people find they have
a bigger and better thing in their
model roads than even the friends
of the enterprise anticipated
when they first advocated
special 5 mills tax in order to get
in on the State appropriation to
help build roads. The bitterest
opponents of the tax now admit
it was the best thing we could
have done. We can assure any
and all persons interested in the
building of the State highway
system, that while the system
looks exceedingly we'll on paper,
the actual thing as we have it is
a thousand times better.
Taking this view of the case,
the people of Grant parish have
this week, on August 10, voted
on themselves another 5 mills
tax to run for five years, in aid
of the public schools. The tax
was bitterly opposed and hard
fought in some localities, but was
adopted by handsome majorities,
both as to the popular vote and
the amount of values. The vote
for the tax was $50, while 1874
voted against it. Values in fav-
or of the tax, 1921, 445; values
against the tax, 1926, 668. 1t is
therefore quite evident that the
voters of Grant parish have learn
ed the important lesson of united
effort in matters of public enter
prise. They are now paying two
special taxes of mills each. one
for good roads and one for good |
schools, and nobody feels serious
ly hurt over the prospect. On |
the contrary, each one feels, or
should feel that he is to pay his |
just proportion of a community
burden that should rest equally
on every citizen in proportion to
his means. and while it sounds |
well to talk about good schools,
and it looks we'll on paper to
write about educational facilities,
there is nothing half so good as
to have an abundant supply of
cash on hand to pay for the ac-
tual thing itself.

To be or not to be; that's the ques-
ton. We hear it said that our Fair
mount friends now propose to vote for
the q mills school tax for ward one.
Well, If they all go for it as solidly as
they voted against the 5 mills PROPOSE
ton, we are sure going to have fine
school fund here in ward one.

taking up his coat and hat.
When he had gone Grigsby again
paced the floor Now he would pause
at the window and look down into
Sixth street, where the rain, falling
hopelessly and helpIessly, was making
pools In the depressions of the cedar
block pavement that glinted in the
white glare of the arc light splutter-
ing before the hotel. Whenever the
hoarse sounds of distant locomotive
whistles came to him out of the wet
night, he jerked forth his watch and
sighed as he replaced it. Then he be-
gan to worry because Jennings did not
reappear. He wondered If Governor
Chatham would venture out in such a
night to seal the treasury. He cursed
Chatham, who had made him, and
finally Jennings, who had saved him.
Altogether, he passed very bad two
hours. And then Jennings, returned
