For the past four years "Work
Day" for the Methodist Orpha-
mage. located at Ruston, La, has
been observed, and the good peo.
pie have responded willingly and
generously to this worthy cause.
Last year the children of the Or.
phanage obtained the highest
marks in department and literary
achievement, and won three of
the four prizes that were offered
at the Ruston High School. With.
out the "Orphanage" aud the adj
vantages it offers, these children
would have never had these op-
portunities, most or nearly all of
them would have grown up in
ignorance, possibly in crime, and
been a blot on our civilization.
As it is they will continue in their
good work, be properly trained,
educated and fitted for the higher
things in life. Saturday, October
nth, is "Work Day.. Let every
child do some work to earn some
thing to give these poor needy
children Let every man and
woman respond to this call and
make contribution. The collec-
ton at Sunday School and Church
will be sent to the Orphanage.

The weather still continues to
be simply awful l. has rained
here copiously every day this
week. The heavy rains have been
general throughout the State and
have done great damage to the
crops and other property. The
city of Lake Charles was flooded
this week with from two to five
feet of water in her streets caused
by the rains and tide
water from the Gulf of Mexico.
The loss in that city is estimated
to be about one million dollars.

The Circus.

The circus which exhibited in Lancas
ter on last Thursday was much above
the average. The saying is that ''see
one and you see them all". but you
rarely see some of the features which
were witnessed at this exhibition: for
instance herd of performing Seals had
intelligence rarely to be found among
animals, the Elephant base ball game
was both ludicrous and amusing. and
the acrobatic stunts We're far above the
average. The management was
gentlemanly and courteous and the best
of order was preserved and everything
was done for the comfort of it's patrons.
all of which brands the Sparks show as
one of the best small circuses on the
road.

Sprinkling Discontinued.

Mayor Logan last week exercised
the authority recently granted him
by the passing of an ordinance, and
notified all water consumers that they
must for the present discontinue the
use of the city water for sprinkling
purposes. This action was taken more
as precautionary measure than fol
any other reason. There yet remains
between seven and eight feet of water
in the lake and it was deemed best be-
cause of the immense amount used fol
sprinkling purposes, to discontinue its
use until we have rain to replenist
the supply, as in case of severe fire
or other emergency, it might become
necessary to severely tax the present
supply.

Columbus o., and was assigned to duty
in the Red Cross corps. After being
sent to various posts along the eastern

recently arrived at Fortress Monroe Va.
where his regiment was sent for target
practice, and he will doubtless remain

Mack Hughes the well known horse

was in town last Friday, having
brought over three nice road horses
which Billy Burton had purchased in
Danville. Mack has abandoned the
fair circuit for this season; he says
the picking" was not as good for him
this season as usual, due doubtless tc
the fact that he abandoned his Ole
haunts and sought pastures new. Hi:
lack of success was not due to hi:

DISTRICT 8 MERGED WITH DISTRICT z.
Owing to a lack of sufficient active
workers, the Third district will be
merged with district Two. and contes-
tants in former district will now be
entered in district 2. We were sorry
to have to make this change but the
contestants in the outside district did
not take enough active interest to
justify the prizes to be awarded to that
district, and under the contest rules a
district where there is not sufficient
active interest taken may be merged
with another district. The four prizes
which were to be awarded to district 3
are added to district 2, making EIGHT
prizes to be awarded in district 2
These eight prizes will be awarded as
follows: The person receiving thelargest
number of votes in district 2 after the
pony and cart have been awarded will
be awarded Diamond Ring; contestant
ranking second in district will be
awarded Diamond Ring; third Elgin
watch: fourth, Elgin watch; fifth, Ruby
ring; sixth, Ruby ring; seventh, piece
Genuine cut:glass; eighth, piece Genuine
cut-glass.
Contestants in this one district should
take more interest now that there are
eight prizes to be awarded in dlstrict2.
Get busy NOW and send in your
subscriptions.
If there is any mistake in the count
of any contestants vote, it must be
called to the attention of the contest
manager before next Wednesday.
Otherwise the count as published to-
day must be taken as correct.
DON'T BE BLUFFED.
Don't get discouraged and above all
don't let your competitor bluff you
out. If you do, you'll feel like kicking
yourself around the block for about
three weeks after the contest closes to
think how easy you let the valuable
prize slip through your grasp. In
every contest, there are always a lot
of "croakers" who try to make the
candidates believe that they are really
friends. They go to a candidate and
say whats the use of you working
any longer for such and such candi-
date has great deal more votes than
you and of course there is no chance
for you to win. You had better drop
