Regarding Good Roads.

We had a pleasant call this week
from Geo. E. Bent, who represents
the Tioga Gravel Company, Of Alex
andria, La. Mr.. Bent came to Thi-
bodaux to confer with our people
and with members Of the police jury
regarding hard-surfaced roads for La
fourche parish. He was recently in
Assumption, where large amount
of gravel roads have been laid and
where the spirit of good roads is SO
firmly rooted that there is nothing
to stop it's progress.
Mr.. Bent tells us that in lberville
parish, which is now regarded as
the banner parish in road building,
THAT is in south Louisiana), the
start for good roads was not as easy
a proposition as some people might
imagine. Sentiment, at first, was
far from being favorable to the pro
ject. To convince taxpayers of the
benefits to be derived certain citi.
zens, at their own expense, laid q
mile of gravel road This stretch OF
road was SO much enjoyed by the
travelling public that it was not long
before a majority Of the taxpayers
stood ready to vote bonds for good
roads. This, in measure, accounts
for the good roads in Iberville par
ish, which have received SO many
compliments from different quarters
Of the state.
We trust that as soon as the tax
payers of Lafourche parish have beel
convinced that hard surfaced roads
are the only roads for Us to have
they will not hesitate about votins
the tax necessary to pay for the hare
surfacing material. Good roads mea
money saved to every farmer ant
traveller in the parish. Let's hay
| them.-Thibodau Comet.

How Advertising Increases Business.

The value of newspaper adVertis-
ing in business building was illus
trated by William Laird, at the
meeting of the National Shoe Re-
tailers' Association convention in
New York city. Mr.. Laird's remarks
were based on his experience of
thirty years.
Newspaper advertising is your
best salesman. When times are dull
keep up your advertising and III
crease your space in the papers from
time to time.
advertising gives your customers
confidence in you and increases your
confidence in yourself" continued
Mr. Laird. 'tIt is profitable in
vestment in every season, and tc
lessen your advertising space in dull
times is i'll advised and often
cost1y.'-Publisher Guide.

On account of smallpox having
broken out at the state hospital for
insane, no visitors will be permitted
at the institution for the present.
The cases are few n number, are of
mild character, and have been iso-

in charge to take no chances, espec-
tally on account of the crowded con-
dition at the hospital.

On New Year'c Eve at the Armory,
Valley City Lodge, Knights Of Pythias
gave their annual dancing party. It
proved to be one of the most delight
full events of that nature ever given in
the city. The large dance hall was
most beautifully and artistically deco
rated by the committee on decorations
which was composed of N. A. Johnson
NJ. P. Krogh, Herman Stern and L. p.
Hyde. The stage setting was a wood
land scene and was made complete by
setting Of evergreens in the back
ground, with palms on either side of
the stage, ferns and potted plants in
the center and foreground. The red,
white and blue streamers were
stretched from the center of the high
ceiling to eithr corner Of the hall,
while the sides were decorated with
yellow and white bunting together
with flags of the X. P. Order. The
east end of the balcony being decorat-
ed with the stars and bars with Old
Glory in the center. The decorations
not only represented a great deal of
work but the real touch of the artists
hand could be seen in the arrange.

and plants sat Clark's ten piece or

billion dollars per annum. The farm
value of the poultry products produced
per annum IL the United States is
equal to the annual gold production Of
the world. The yearly eggs produc-
ton alone is double the value of the
annual petroleum supply of the nation
and is equal to the value of the iron
ore production of the United States.
The Hen Not At Fault.
There are many causes which have
contributed towards sending the cy-
clone of high prices raging through the
market places, but in my opinion they
are largely artificial and am sure did
not originate in the poultry yard.
The pure food law has forced large
quantities of ancient stock, usually
available in emergencies, to be dump
ed. The Italian hand of the specula-
tor casts it's shadow over the wreck
age and our faulty system Of distribu-
ton has snapped in it's weak places.
All these forces of trade have combin-
ed to bring about a riot in the market
places, but the hen has entered no con-
spiracy against the consumer. AS a
rule she has been doing her duty. Per-
haps she may have hesitated to per-
form the full service allotted her by
civilization, as we all sometimes do,
but she has been on the job all the
time and no court can sentence her to
lay more eggs of fix a price for her
products.
