VOTE ON COUNTY
 SUPERINTENDENT
OF SCHOOLS IN ARKANSAS
SUPERVISOR BOND ENGAGED IN CAMPAIGN OVER THE
 STATE.

Every county in the state that ha. not yet adopted county superintendent cy for it's schools will vote at the an nual school election this year on the question of county supervision o1 schools according to information giv. en out recently by the department ot education. According to the provis. ions of the county superintendent law, tine question of county supervis. ion is submitted this year to a vote of the electors at the annual school election in all counties of the state that have not yet adopted superin- tendency, and if majority of the votes cast at the school election in any county on the question of county Iaupervislun be favorable to it's adop- ton then under the provis ons of the law that county has legally adopted county supervisor for it's schools.
 When any county adopts county su- perintendency by vote of the cleo tors at the school election, the county superintendent who takes the place of the county examiner is nominated and elected at the same time and in the same manner that any other county officer is elected.
 Supervisor of Rural Schools J. L. Bond of the department of education, who has been actively cooperating in a number of county superintendency campaigns throughout the state, is strongly urging the adoption of coun- ty supervision to the end that the same efficient supervision and careful direction now being given the town and city schools may be extended to all the rural schools of the state.
 The ballots to be used in holding the school election this year will soon be sent out with the regular school election supplies by the department of education. These ballots will have the question of county superUision printed on them, as the law requires
 Fifteen counties of the state have already adopted county superintend- ency, and it is believed that at the school election this year many new counties will be added to the superin- tendency column. This is considered to be one of the most pressing needs in the school work of the state at the present time.

PRIMARY CALLED
 FOR JUNE q TO NOMINATE GOVERNOR MEETING OF STATE CENTRAL. COMMITTEE IN LITTLE
 ROCK TODAY.

Little Rock, April 8, 2 D. m-At g meeting of the Democratic State Gen. tral Committee at the Hotel Marion this morning at 10 o'clock, Saturday June l, was selected as the day for holding the Democratic primary cleo tion for the purpose of nominating a Democratic candidate for governor. to fill the unexpired term of Joe T. Rob- inson, who was elected governor in the general election held last Septem- Der, but who was selected by the re- cent legislature to the United States senate.
 July 23 has been selected as the day for holding the special election to se- lect a successor to Governor Robin son, the date having recently been named by Acting Governor Futrell.
 It was general thought that the date for holding the primary would be between June 20 and June 2S, as the law requires that 20 days be giv- en the state election commissioners to certify the nominees to the various counties of the state.
 AS to the candidate for governor, there are four being talked about ev- anywhere, and only one of the quartet has given out an announcement that he is positively a candidate for the office. Each has said he will make his announcement after the Demo- cratic State Central Committee has fixed the date for the primary.
 Former Congressman s. Brundidge of Searcy is the only avowed candi- date for the office. Supreme Court Justice w. F. Kirby is spoken of as candidate, but he has never authoriz- ed an announcement of his candidacy Dr. c. H. Brough of the University of Arkansas, at Fayetteville. is being boosted by many friends from every section of the state for the honor, but he has not yet positively announced. Judge G. w. Hays of Camden has said he might be a candidate, but would not make public his announce ment until after the meeting of the State Central Committee.

CANDIDATES FOR
 FEDERAL PLUMS
ARKANSAS CONGRESSMEN ARE NAMING THEIR SELECTIONS
 FOR POSTMASTERS.

OFT ON GROWERS
MASS

The Clarion would warn it's
readers to consider well the
propositions which, Messrs.
Stokes and Fleig, Of Shreveport,
will put before them this even
ing at the courthouse, as we are
informed that the cotton grow
ers in some states have been
warned not to enlist with the
Southern States Cotton Corpora
ton. We are not in a position
to state at present whether this
corporation is reliable, or not, SO
we would not condemn, nor laud
it. We only advise the cotton
men of St. Landry to be careful
before ~pledging themselves to
a corporation they know nothing
of.
Mr.. r. Lee Mills, a man who
is well esteemed in this COM
munity, in a communication to
the Clarion. published in this
issue, denounces the corporation;
the Farmers Union has been
warned against this corporation,
so be careful, men of Opelousas
and St. Landry, before commit
ting yourselves to something
which you might be sorry of one
day.
We hope, however, that the
corporation is not a fake in it.
self; the men who are
representing it here to-day are
honorable men, and would not,
Of themselves, harm the cotton
growers of this parish.
Only be careful that is all we
ask of you.

SPRING A N
CASE NOW SETTLED

AS soon as the Courts judg-
ment ordering a deed to be
given him took effect, on July
Sd, Mr.. Dunlap came to Opelou-
sas to obtain his deed. He
brought with him much over the
$38, 900 needed in legal tender
currency, and instead of taking
chances on an express or mail
shipment brought the money on
his person in bills. accompanied
by three trusted friends, Messrs.
B. O. Leblanc of Plaquemine and
S. Cregar and H. J. Thompson
of New Orleans. Mr.. Dunlap
had with him five $40, 900 bills,
gold certificates, making $50,
900, as well as other bills of
large denomination. A deed
was promptly secured from the
Sheriff on paying the necessary
S38, 900, and those present at the
settlement made in the Opelou-
sas National Banks parlor had
the unusual experienced examin-
ing and passing around the five
SIC, 900 bills, which Mr.. Dunlap
laughingly declared a fine poker
hand.
He then went one better than
the letter of the law, and in
stead of holding the balance Of
$40, 900 until its final distribu-
ton to creditors having mort
cages and privileges on the
property, he preferred to clear
the property at once of all litiga-
ton and through his attorney,
MI. E. B. Dubuisson, handed
the entire balance to Hon. Henry
Lastrapes, Jr., Clerk of Court,
to be deposited in the Registry
of the Court, thus paying the
entire $50, 900 in cash in less
than three weeks from the final
decision of the suit.
. Mr.. Dunlap has throughout
the matter proved that he was
running no bluff, but wanted the
land for the price he bid for it,
and was able to put up the price
in spot cash, even if he did have
to bring it from New Orleans on
account Of the limited banking
facilities at Opelousas.
The big tract acquired by Mr..
Dunlap cost him something un-
der SAC per acre, but it is said
to have timber on it worth over
three times that value. Both
the Frisco and the Opelousas
Gulf & Northeastern railroads
pass through the tract. The
Frisco crosses it's center just
west of Lattanier Station, bet
ter known as Krotz's Springs,
and the O'Gee passes through
the end of the tract near the
popular fishing resorts of that
road.

Melville To Vote on water Tax

The people of Melville will
vote on a three mill tax for the
erection IF a water works sys-
tenn, on August 5th, and it is ex-
pected that the tax will carry by
a large majority.
In spite of the fact that this
town was flooded by the high
water of 1912, the citizens OF
Melville feel that they need
water to drink and to protect
their homes from fire. They
display by their eagerness to in-
prove their town that they will
not leave the failings of one year
retard them on their journey to
progressiyeness.
The people in Opelousas are
waiting with interest the result
of the election and hope that the
good people Of the town Of Mel
vile will not let this opportunity
of elevating themselves pass by
un-nOticed.

LAKE CHARLES BOY
ADMITS THEFT

Immediately thought of the mon
ey and rushing to the safe was
surprised and baffled when he
saw that the safe was empty.
He thereby quickly called up the
police, Whereupon a thorough
search was made for the robber.
In the meantime Pearce had
slipped the key back into his
brothers pocket, and suspicion
was laid on Cheyis, who was ar
rested and placed in Jail, where
he remained until no evidence
could be secured against him.
The clever young chap kept
the money hidden for a few days
when Amy, who is a relative of
the boy, passed through Lake
Charles, on his way to Eunice.
Pearce then made a confession
of the robbery to Amy and the
latter consented to take the
money to Eunice. However,
Pearce later went to Euniee and
brought part of the money back
to Lake Charles.
After making this confession
Pearce brought the officers to the
place where he had hidden a
portion of his treasure, under a

New School Building.
Opelousas. .JuIy 22d 1919

Opelousas, July 22d, 1913.
Mr.. Editor:
In your last issue you say that
the new school building will cost
$50, 900. This is an error-an
error which is not mitigated or
condoned by your further state
ment that the auditorium will
be large enough to accommodate
an immense crowd and at the
same time be very roomy."
Ii you had interviewed the
contractors, their foreman or
the superintendent you would
have learned that the contract
price for the building is over
$1,000 more than the price you
mention. And since yours is
the only paper published in
Opelousas, it should occur to you
that a double obligation rests
upon you to give to your readers
information that is absolutely
accurate, particularly when such
information can be SO easily OBJ
tanned. Otherwise, there being
no other paper here to correct
you, many erroneous impressions
will find lodgment in the public
mind.
If you pare down in the same
ratio all the various items Of cost
relating to this building you
might reduce the total cost to
less than 500, 900 and thereby,
in some small degree at least,
weaken my contention that, if
the public veal was to be sub
served. two buildings, conven-
iently located, should have been
erected with this money; or
that. If only one building was
erected. half the amount that
the tax will yield should have
been set aside for maintenance,
instead of imposing another tax
on the people for that purpose.

How To Take Care OF Chickens
In Hot Weather.

Following is an extract from
an article in the current issue Of
Farm and Fireside entitled
Chick Safety in Hot Weather.
Extreme hot weather is a
worse foe to chicks of from two
to four weeks old than extreme
cold. They should never be left
at that age after June comes in
without accessible shade, as the
day may suddenly turn hot, and
a few hours exposure will often
upset the condition of a whole
flock, fit does not kill some out
right. A double row of grain
sacks hung on the netting affords
very good shade. They may be
pinned on with fyepenny nails
in a few minutes SO as to stay all
the season. Cold water dashed
on them in the heat Of the day
will add to their effectiveness.
It is a good plan, during long
dry spells, to turn down few
pals of water in the yards. AT
ter it settles away the chicks will
be seen burroWing luxuriously in
the moist earth, Another help,
especially in sandy yards, is to
spade up the soil frequently.
This not only adds to the cool
ness, but if a little grain be
worked into the dirt a lot of
wholesome exercise may be got
out of the youngsters. By little
extras like these | carried my
chicks through the record-break-
ing hot wave of 1911 practically
without loss, while my neighbors
lost theirs by dozens and even
many of their adult fowls. I
was careful to have the drinking
water always in the shade, and
renewed it frequently, turning
out each time any of the old
found in the vessels"
