DIED..

Hazel Catherine, youngest child
of Charley and Mrs. Ida Barnum,
was born in Selma, La, Nov. 1e,
1910, and died at the Sanitarium
in Alexandria, where it had been
taken for special treatment, Dec.
80, 1912, at Z o'clock p. m. II
had never been in good health,
but not withstanding its weakly
constitution it was apparently a
well grown child for one of its
age. Hazel was an attractive
child and seemed mere than nat
urally developed mentally. Her
mission to earth was short, but
none the less precious, and its
sweetness all the more valued by
its brevity. In the visitation OF
these little jewels to parents, and
the early departure, who car
know but that our Heavenly Fa-
Their is calling attention to things
beyond this life. But the sorrow
is still hard to bear. Before its
life was tainted or scared by the
destructiveness of sin God tool
it to himself. Trust God and the
way will grow brighter.

Don't Try to Grow Hogs Without
Pasture.

There are two dont's that ev-
cry grower should have firmly
fixed in his mind. Don t attempt
to grow hogs without pasture,
and don't attempt to grow them
on pasture alone. With this as
an established maxim, the hog
grower has prepared ahead OF
time the pasture for his young
pigs. For spring and early fall
pasture nothing equals red clover
and alfalfa; for winter pasture,
crimson clover, fall barley OF
oats are the best. For grain,
while there are many substitutes,
there is nothing that will alto
gether take the place of corn.
The South possesses the advant-
age of many valuable hog feeds
that can be produced at a mini
mum OF cost, such as peanuts,
soy beans, cowpeas, chufas and
artichokes, but if one lives in Sec
tons that will grow corn, clover
and winter grazing crops he need
not worry about being able to
produce pork economically. =
Frank H. Fuller, in Progressive
Farmer.

Hardly : eeneft to The Race.

A young New England student has
succeeded in developing live caterpil-
lars by means of sulphuric acid. The
scientists are excited over the feat,
but the country at large will not be
wildly enthusiastic over the prospect
of being able to multiply caterpillars
at will, and may even be clamoring
for laws to prevent ambitious young
scientists from increasing by scien-
tific means flies, mosquitoes and kind
red nuisances to the human race.

Once Had Distinct Meaning.

II Is interesting to know just why
q spade is called a spade, and just
where certain names originated. The
word buttery and buffers pantry
came from two French words. the
"botelerie" was the wine closet and
painter was where the bread and
cakes were kept. and the custodian
OF the wine was the "boteler." Later
the words were perverted into butler
and pantry. and finally Joined into
buffers pantry.

Organization of the Parish SchO0
Board by Lot.

Board by Lot.
The new members of the Grant
parish beard of school directors
will meet on Saturday, Jan. A,
1913, and organize for the tran
saction of business. Act 214 of
the Acts of 1912, sec. 5, provides
as follows:
AS soon as the boards as above
provided for have qualified, each
board shall shall by resolution d.
vide the membership by wards
in three divisions, as nearly equal
as possible. The members of
the first group shall hold Office
for two years, the members OF
the second group for four years,
and the members of the third
&, CUP for six years. The sue
cessors of the members in the
several groups shall be elected
for terms of six years.
The plain intention of the law
is to create a board of school d.
rectors so constituted that its
policy in the conducting and
management of school affairs
cannot be overturned or disturb
ed in less than four years, and
possibly not for six years, unless
the biennial election of one-third
of the school directors shall elect
a sufficient number of directors
opposed to the prevailing policy
tie board. The law is a good
one, although we know that a
great many agitators will con-
denim its permanency, the very
thing that constitutes its value.
There is no provision in the
law as to how the school boards
shall go about the formation OF
the three divisions that are to
serve two, four and six years
respectively. We see, however,
by the comments of some of our
exchanges, that the determining
of the matter is generally to be
by the drawing of lots, and we
suppose that. is legal, and that il
is about the fairest and most sat-
isfactory plan that can be adopt
ed. This can be done first to de-
termine the group of wards that
shall constitute a division, and a
second lot drawn to determine
which of the three divisions shall
serve two, four or six years.
LATER. Since the above was
put in type we learn that the
school board will meet on Jan. 8,
one day earlier, as they think il
will require two days to perfect
their organization and attend tc
the accumulated business of the
year. Our comments, however,
will apply whether they meet 8
day earlier or later.
