the RESULT IN the THIRD DISTRICT.

On last Tuesday the people Of the
Third Congressional District severed
their connection with the Demo-
cratic party by election a Progress
i've, Hon. w. P. Martin, to Congress
to succeed Congressman Broussard.
The Third District has long been
a Republican stronghold, but has
always posed democratic, but at
last they have come out in their true
colors, and it would have been bet
ter for the state had this been done
years ago. No longer will a man be
elected as a democrat and go to
Washington to be a sort OF fifth
wheel, an hybrid, neither Democrat
no Republican, posing as demo-
crat, but voting as a republican,
and thereby being considered a man
without a party.
We cannot help but feel that the
sugar planters in the Third District
who voted for the Progressive candi-
date have made a serious blunder,
one that they will live to regret.
With the war in Europe making it
necessary to pass a war tax bill, it
seemed almost certain that there
was a chance to retain the tariff on
sugar for many years to come, but
now the lonesome Progressive from
the Third will find but few in Con-
gress to assist him in his fight, as
there will be less than a dozen men,
bers of his faith in that body. We
sincerely hope that the result of the
election there will mean the drawing
Of the line, the separation of the
sheep from the goats, and that in
the future if the Third District re-
turns to the democratic fold, that it
will send a man to Congress who
will be able to hold up his head
among the democrats, participate in
the democratic caucus and vote as
q democrat.

Society Notes.

Miss Kate Smith, accompanied by her
brother Fred, was a visitor to our school
last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wade were invited to
Judge debate in the Tenth English class.
The subject was
Resolved, That the American Indians
were unjustly treated by the white men.
The affirmative won the debate.
The Round Table meeting on Friday
was a great success. A piano solo,
reading and debate made up the pro-
gram.
Much regret was felt by the staff be-
cause Florence May Bondurant, the edi-
tor, was kept at home by illness.

"Sing a song OF seasons,
Something bright in all,
T Flowers in the autumn,
Fires in the fall"
Time is fast going by, and the falling
leaves remind us that winter will soon
take the place of these glorious autumn
days.
The woods are ablaze with gorgeous reds
and yellows and every field and hedge
row is purple, yellow and white. Truly
Natures paint pots have been overturned
and she is prodigal of her colors.
Our farmers are diligently gathering
hay and grain, and busy furnishing
winter home for the deposed King Cot
ton.
: We approach the Thanksgiving season
with reverence, and gratitude for our
blessings.
We are greatly interested in school
gardens, for we appreciate the fact that
they may benefit us in many ways.
School gardens will make the study of
Botany and Agriculture practical and
interesting. In vegetable garden we
may raise such products as will find
ready market, thus creating fund to
meet our ever-increasing needs. Flowers
make our yards attractive and give ex-
preston to our love of the beautiful.
The moral and physical benefit derived
from contact with the soil and learning
Natures secrets is incalculable. A boy
may gain greater sense of independence,
power and resourcefulness from growing
on his plot of ground, fruits or flowers,
the result of his own efforts, than he can
get in any other way. Louisiana is an
agricultural State, and it is best for us to
find out the scientific method of doing
the thing that may be our life work.
The different departments of our school
require special equipment, and our needs
are great. The School Board has been
generous in supplying us with much that
is necessary. The efforts of the teachers
and the pupils have resulted in other sup
plies being furnished.
Just now our Domestic Science depart
ment has neither glass nor silverware
for table service, and we arg much en-
barrassed when our doors are opened in
to our friends.
Feeling keenly our needs in this de-
partment, that is our pride and pleasure,
we have planned an entertainment, the
proceeds OF which we shall devote to the
purchase OF china, glass and silver. We
have called our entertainment a Candy
Carnival, and we bid all of our friends to
come.

THE LOST CHILD.
PART III.

The search that followed was long and
weary, for the mother of the child must
be- found. There was something myster-
ious connected with the whole affair, be-
cause the note attached to the baby had
stated that band OF savages was near
and this seemed SO improbable. 1t was a
well known fact that no Indians were in
that part 81 the country.
The question in everybody's mind was,
What was the mother motive in leav-
ing her child alone this way in the wood"

Lorimer's bank has long been re-
garded by the big interests with very
much disapproval since Lorimer lost
his seat in the United States Senate
and therefore lost his power to help
the big fellows. -
The money trust is out after the
live ones. And when their autom-
atoms are unfortunate enough to
get ''in bad" they toss them quick.
They want the fellows that can do
them good. - #
Lorimer was a mighty power as
senator. But as an ousted senator
his influence was dead. So they
started out after him and apparently
got him.
A special accountant whose work
has led him into expert investigation
of several big banks made this state
ment:
''Lorimer was thrown down by the
Standard Oil crowd when they could
no longer use him. He lost his bank
in Chicago when he lost his seat in
the Senate. He voted with Senator
Aldrich and the Standard Oil and
Morgan crowds on everything they
wanted during the nine months he
sat as senator in Washington.
"Old Standard Oil tactics were
used to put the Lorimer bank on the
toboggan. Of course, there was mis-
management of the Lorimer-Munday
bank. But its record was not any
worse than many another shaky en-
terprise which has been saved be-
cause it stood in right with the
Standard Oil"
Though William Lorimer refuses to
talk, there are friends of his who
point out that when Lorimer made
his speech of defense in the United
States Senate he declared the fight
to throw him out of the Senate had
back of it a group of Chicago banks
who were AGAINST his entrance into

Street National Bank, which would
open its doors ten days later.
Lorimer had then been sitting in
his seat at Washington for nine
months and was voting and speak
ing and using his influence for all
things wanted by Senator Aldrich
and the Standard Oil and Morgan
crowds in the Senate.
The bank he was starting then
had the Standard Oil endorsement.
Since then it has lost that endorse
ment. :

PLANS FOR STORING
HARDY VEGETABLES
Potatoes for Seed and Table Use
Next Spring Should Be
Buried in Dry Spot.

Do not store away any unsound or
bruised fruit or vegetables, as they
will soon decay and cause all those
next to them to go the same way.
Bury Irish potatoes on a well-drained
spot Cover with wheat-straw about
six inches deep, put on four inches of
dirt (earth) and let this freeze light
ly, then cover with six or eight inches
of rough, strawy manure. AS soon as
this gets wet and freezes put on six
inches more earth and pat it down
smooth. This is for potatoes for seed
and table use next spring before early
potatoes come again.
They will keep better than If kept
. in cool storage plant.
Place beets, carrots, satisfy, turnips
and few parsnips in barrels. First
put in two or three inches of garden
soil; any mellow earth will do. Then
a layer of vegetables and so on till
the barrel is full or all are in. Place
the barrel in a moderately warm
cellar. A slight freeze will not hurt
them.
Turn the cabbage upside down, leav-
ing the roots on; and cover the heads
with earth about four inches, leaving
the roots sticking out, and they will
keep fine in this way.
Pull up few tomato vines with
the fruit on and lay in the cellar.
You may have ripe tomatoes at Christ
mas.

PRACTICAL FACTS
OF POULTRY YARD
Breed of Farm Fowls Is Not as

aged if there are some culls.
Do you know the parents of the
best birds you raise? 1t would be a
good idea to keep track of the matter,
if you wish to gain steadily.
The breed of fowls for the farm is
not of so much Importance as the way
they are bred.
Don't waste your time crossing pure
bred fowls. Crossing standard bred
fowls only makes scrubs, and there
are enough of them now.
The reason why SO many people
fail in the poultry business is because
they do not give it credit for being
business and they expect to sue
ceed with side-issue attention.
1t is not all in having the best birds
to breed from. Much depends upon
the skill of the breeder in mating and
feeding.
Break the hens of the notion of
roosting in the trees. Begin before
the hens have the habit. 1t will take
a lot of work if you do not.
