Ed Whearety, glass blower employed

Shreveport Times: The largest gas vel
, in the Caddo field, and perhaps the larges
in the world, was brought in Monday. The
we'll is located near Lewis, and has test
ed capacity of between 100000 and 80,
> 100000 cubic feet daily. Perhaps the hes
feature of the new we'll is that it develops
an entirely new strata of gas in hitherto
l undeveloped territory. Gas was found a

The Benton Good Roads Meeting &.
ssier Banner, Benton, La.

ASO~SS
Editor Bossier Banner Benton, La.
Dear SIR: Kindly give space to my
views and suggestions on the good roads
tax matter, which, if not adopted, may lead
to better suggestion.
Questions which contemplate the levy of
taxes for large sums and for public i'm
provements which affect generations to
come are seldom correctly settled on the
spur of the moment in a spirited public
meeting. The conclusions reached at the
meeting in Benton on the 9th, to my mind,
are not an exception to the rule.
The proposed bond issue of $500, 900 is
the limit for the parish and would, at best,
only construct seventy five miles of road,
leaving about 500 miles without provision
for appreciate mprovement-until some
future time, when population and assess
ments increase sufficiently to allow an adj
ditional issue of bonds.
| do not believe the voters of Bossier will
favor such ali interest bearing debt with so
little promised in return.
The work of clearing, grading and ditch
ing the roads during the past ten years has
placed Bossier ahead of any other parish
in the State, and, with the exception OF the
two or three months rainy season, are,
comparatively speaking, high class roads
and the Improvement is worth what it cost,
superficial Observers to the contrary not
withstandng.
A 5-mill tax, with other funds appor-
toned to the roads, should, with the ex-
experience gained, and by the consistent
use of the split-log drag, enable the Police
Jury to continue the work on all the roads
and bring them to an almost perfect state.
The roads in the river section of the
parish present different problem, for ow-
ing to the nature of the soil, graveled roads
! only can be counted as permanent. The
river lands are about Is per cent open and
revenue producing, hence the taxpayers
are better able to stand a tax for macadam
roads, and if they wish to stand the cost,
should be allowed to do so.
In conclusion, suggest that the Police
Jury order an election for special 5-mill
tax throughout the parish, the funds to be
apportioned in proportion to the assess
ment, and to create special road districts
in conformity with requests from the differ
ent localities. This will enable the hill por-
ton of the parish to have good roads at a
: nominal cost and allow the residents of the
river section to tax themselves to their own
liking. Yours truly,
j. w. ELsToN.

The key was one of the first things in
vented by man. The primitive key was
probably thorn or splinter. Afterwards
fish-b bones seem to have come into use.
Wooden pegs followed these. In modern
times, the process of manufacturing keys
is very highly developed. Fifty years ago
there were only some hundred varieties of
keys, each having its special name and
distinct use. To-day they are legion.

There has been something crude and
heartless and unfeeling in our haste to sue
coed and be great. Our thought has been,
"Let every man look out for himself, let
every generation look out for ITSELF" while
we reared giant machinery which made it
impossible that any but those who stood at
the levers of control should have chance
to look out for emselves.-President
Woodrow Wilson.
