A Request for the School Apportion-
ment.

Colfax, La, Aug. Z, 1918.
Editor Collar Chronicle.
The published report of Supt War.
ner, showing the condition of school
funds, is misleading and conveys false
idea of the present condition of the
school fund, because the district funds
stand charged up with disbursements
of more than $50, 900 which should be
offset by making the necessary appor-
Jionment of the sums received since
the last apportionment was made in 1912.
1t is not only very important that
these entries be now made in the books
If the Superintendent. and the report
published, but under any and all cir
cumstances the public is entitled to
know exactly how much of the school
fund belongs to each district.
When the sums received by the Su-
perintendent since 1912 shall have been
distributed, as they must now be, it
will be seen that many of the districts
chat appear to be in debt will have
money to their credit, and not one OF
the districts will be in needy circum-
stances.
4 would therefore ask that you pub
lish this letter calling on the Superin-
tendent to publish in the next issue OF
your paper a report showing the pres
snt condition Of the funds in the differ
mt school districts of the parish, sc
the voters can know how their respec-
tive districts stand, end whether OF
not they need the proposed 5 mills ia,
in order to be able to run their schools.
Yours. truly, VIM. LACROIx.

Trying to Settle
Matter Out of Court.
There was little lawsuit before
Squire zimmerman one day last
week, and the temple of justice was
filled with witnesses and contradic-
tory testimony. Each side was rep
resented by able counsel, and when
the noon whistles rang out their call
to hungry humanity court was ad-
journed and the various parties went
outside to the sidewalk in front Of
the 'Squire's office. Instead Of
quietly and speedily seeking the var
ious sources for dinner, they went
right on with the battle out there
in the open, prosecuting the war
contrary to all established martial
rules by fighting on empty stom-
achs.
Finally one of the parties to the
suit and the attorney on the oppo-
site side concluded that the best
way and also the speediest to settle
the differences was to adjust mat
ters out of court; and at it they
went. There was some noise The
Squire heard the noise, and decid-
ed that battle without general Of
ficers was not tactical. He called for
a truce until proper regulations
could be made. The combatants
were separated. The wounded were
properly cared for, and all traces of
the carnage were removed. AS to
the suit itself, the Squire has re-
served his decision.

The Weasel Market Is
Good Around Lakeville.
On Tuesday Mr. Francis Cawley,
of Lakeville, brought to the office
of Squire zimmerman the seal brown
skin of a weasel that his son had
shot while it was trespassing on the
sacred precincts of his hen house.
The Squire looked over the dainty
bit of fur fished out a big pair of
shears, cut the ears from the pelt,
and Mr.. Cawley was ready to return
to Lakeville a richer man by two
dollars than he was before he enter
ed the office of the genial Justice of
the Peace. That is the bounty that
is paid for the determination of
weasels, $500 each. The bounty is
none too high, and If the State paid
small bounty also for woodchucks
the money would be we'll spent.
AS to weasels, everybody has
heard that it is hard to catch one
asleep. Joe Herzogg, of Lakeville,
killed two of them, but not until
they had killed 22 of his best hens.
While he got $4.00 for the weasels
he is sure that his 22 hens were
worth considerably more than that.

Squire Ammerman's Flock
A Source of Temptation.

Two recent attempts to rob the
hen roost of w. B. zimmerman,
down at the Eddy, proved unsuccess-
full because the Squire has the
knack of putting his official seal on
his locks. The lovers of other peo-
ple's poultry first tried to get the
'Squire's hens on Friday night last
They had such a longing for them
that the following night they made
another try, but the old-fashioned
wrought iron hasp was too much for
them, and they had to give up the
job as a failure. In the Squire
chicken house are about As white
leghorn layers, and it is the Not
arys purpose to keep them right
there on the job of laying eggs at As
cents a dozen.
