THREE NEW COURSES
AT HIGH SCHOOL

At meeting of the town council,
Tuesday night, an appropriation of
$532.50 was made to the school board,
for the purpose of putting domestic
science, manual training and physical
training courses in the High School
for the coming session. This appro-
priation, together with that allowed by
the State, is said to be ample for this
purpose, and representatives of the
school board have made the statement
that they would not ask the town coun-
Gil for any more money for the coming
school term.
Superintendent Smith will teach the
manual training and physical training
himself, as he expects to devote two
days of each week to the High School,
and an additional teacher will be en-
ployed to teach the course in domes
tic science.

FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.

The Louisiana Railroad Commission
will probably order at it's special meet
ing Tuesday of next week the installa-
ton of an interlocking plant at the
crossing of the Louisiana Railway and
Navigation Company and the Baton
Rouge and Hammond. There have
been two wrecks at this point in re.
cent years. The need for the inter.
locking plant is brought to the atten.
ton of the Railroad Commission by
the wreck last week.
Some months ago the commission
took up the matter of ordering an in
terlocking plant at this crossing, but
the matter was allowed to rest.
The above clipped from the news
columns of the Daily Picayune is tho
roughly characteristic of the Railroad
Commissions policy of delay It's mot
to probably is: Rome was not built In

The success of town depends on

ponds on support they receive from
the people at large, each being, how

No merchant can succeed without
the patronage Of the public. He is alb
solutely and entirely dependent on the
custom of each and every individual
who has a penny to spend, the little
mite of each, taken in the aggregate,

his business. The merchant, having
Ipenty of competition, must, in order to
get the peoples patronage, figure his
prices close and offer to them the very
best inducements possible.
The merchant pays large rentals,
taxes, privilege licenses, insurance, be-
sides employing many clerks and as
sistants, in order to maintain and con-
duct his business in such manner as
to meet your approval, and to succeed

HOW TO BUILD UP
OR TEAR DOWN
THIS COMMUNITY
BY J. o. LEWIS.
THE HOME MERCHANT HAS
EARNED SUPPORT.

Why are communities, towns and
cities? Have you ever asked yourself
this question? Did you think they just
happened, or had you ever thought
that there was a special need for them
In the beginning of tifne-as far back
as history takes us-we find that men
have banded themselves together for
many and obvious reasons, chief among
which are the benefits to be gained
from organized society as a social, in.
tellectual, spiritual and commercial
center.
Collectively we are strong, forceful
| and aggressive and possess power and
means to attain a growth which will
| give to us and our progeny opportuni.
ties for better living-to develop our
moral, spiritual and intellectual life,
the things for which we were created.
Therefore the success and happiness
of every citizen of any community lies
in the interest he takes in that commu-
nifty and the good work he can do to
assist in it's upbuilding.
Now, then, if We are to succeed as
individuals and as a community we
must not only strive for our own per-
sonal success and welfare, but must
give of our work and substance unset
fishly to help the others.
Everything we do to help in the up
building and advancement of our city
we do just that much toward our own
personal success. No man can live
and prosper unto himself alone, for we
are interdependent, and, realizing this,
if we as citizens will all unite and pull
together for the common good we will
prosper as city and consequently as
individuals. Well paved streets and
sidewalks, good sewerage system, tho
roughly enforced sanitary laws, we'll
regulated and energetic police force,
competent fire fighting equipment and
rigid building regulations are econo-
mic necessities and therefore they
more largely affect us as a community
than as individuals. But beyond this
and underlying it all and upon which
rests the foundation of the whole Is
the success of the business man. This
man makes an investment, goes into
some kind of business-to manufac-
ture or sell goods-puts his money at
stake, employs labor and begins his
work to build better. This man is the
cornerstone of the communicable

THE PROMOTION.

Youths Companion:
The six-o'clock bell had rung, and
the clerks at Munger & Athwold's
were putting away the stock that had
been left on the counters. Two young
clerks, Harry and Walter, friends and
recent corners to the store, worked at
the same counter. When the last box
had been put in place, Walter turned
and began to study the labels on the
rows of boxes on the shelf.
What are you doing, Waltz" asked
Harry, with languid interest, as he
drew on pair of new gloves. Harry
was good-looking, and he knew it, and
he had spent all that he earned, so far,
on clothes. Once or twice he had seen
Mr. Athwold himself looking him over
with what he thought was an approx
| ing glance, and he had remarked con-
| fidentially to Walter that "it paid to
keep well-groomed. The management
wasn't likely to promote a clerk whose
looks were not credit to the store"
Walter understood the insinuation.
Nature had not gifted him with good
looks. Moreover, he had a widowed
mother to support, and he had to wear
suit that was not exactly shabby, but
that was far from new

Police Jury, By Vote Of 9 to
2, Agrees to Purchase of
Tractor Engine and Other
Road Working Machinery.

The Police Jury at it's meeting on
Wednesday by vote of 5 to 3, finally
changed to 9 to 2, decided to purchase
a Flour City Traction Engine, a road
machine and an Adams Ditcher or
Grader, aggregating a cost, including
freight, of $4,375OO.' The police jury
room was crowded with men who had
come from all parts of the parish to
hear the discussion on the questions
involved, and to lend their moral sup
port to the issue, according to individ-
ual conviction From the hearty cheers
which went up, on reception, of the
vote, it was apparent that the ayes
were decidedly in the majority in the
audience as well as in the police jury.
The report of the committee appoint
ed to observe the demonstration of
these machines in actual road-making
was practically the same as published
in these columns, last week, and show
ed that the actual cost of operation
was 1855 a mile.
The action of the Police Jury in max
ing this purchase will doubtless re-
ceive criticism from those, who are
still bitterly opposed to the purchase,
although their original number was
steadily reduced during the road de-
monstrations OF the past two weeks.
But the course of the parish govern
ors is more generally commended, as
it is considered to be in the line Of
progress, and it is believed, that if
properly managed the machinery pur-
chased may become a great benefit to
the parish and its people by giving
them good roads and the blessings at
tendant thereon. The cost is not ex-
cessiVe, and need not prove unduly
onerous to a wide-awake people, de-
termined to show to the world that
they are alive and keeping up with the
times, and that no agricultural mis-
fortunes can daunt their indomitable
spirits and desire for progress.
