ECONOMIC WASTE.

Burning trash within the town limits
should be prohibited. The smoke and
odor are distinct nuisances to the en-
tire neighborhood, and though the dan
ger from the fire spreading may be
hardly appreciate, there is neverthe-
less small percentage Of danger. But
above all, it is economic waste, as in a
town like ours, full of hollows and
ravines, anything filling" should be
employed to fill up these waste places.
Filth should be buried Tin cans, bot.
ties, etc., can not be burnt any how,
and they make ideal filters. Cut grass
and paper are good fertilizers as well
as filters. 1t is related of Gladstone
that whenever he saw scrap of paper
on the ground, while taking walk, he
would grind the paper into the soil
with his cane, considering that he was
enriching the soil by that much, Paper
he said, was too good to burn. Such
man abhorred waste.
If there were more people, like Glad
stone in this respect, there would be
many hollow in this town filled up
cut grass and waste paper covering the
tin cans and other rubbish. Nearby
farmers who are over-rich in guile!
should be glad to cart such filters
away for those who have no gullies o
their own.
All of this may sound visionary, TN
practical, not to say impracticable, bu
the writer can testify to the contrar.
by experience. No trash is burnt OF

A PLEA FOR THE oLD-FASHIoNED
SCHOOL "ExHIBITION."

Most of us are not too young to have
known the old-time school exhibition"
when every pupil was expected to
speak his piece" usually solus, dla-
logues being the exception. With
large school, this meant a program,
several tedious hours in length, but 1t
was a case of one-needn't-come-lf-he-
didnt-choose, and it certainly meant
an exhibition in the truest sense or the
word of each child's powers along the
line of recitation. But this sort OF eX-
hibition has disappeared except IN re-
mote rural communities, and the school
commencement" which has taken its
place. though more artistic and inter
esting perhaps as an entertainment, is

nal purpose of exhibiting the Individual

grouped-one might almost say hud-
dled-en masse, though an easy way
of disposing of large numbers, and Civ
ling the center of the stage to the star
pupils, does not show the equality OF
Interest, the democracy of a public
school.

these school commandments, is rather

GUARANTY OF BANK DEPOSITS.

It is reported that letters and tele-
grams are pouring in to the leglsia-
tors, from persons either favoring or
disappearing the proposed bill to guar
antee bank deposits. Several banks
have announced themselves as favor
able to it. Though the bankers in con-
vention at Shreveport informally ex-
pressed opposition to such measure
this will have little or no effect upon
the opinion of plain people, who are
undoubtedly in favor of some form OF
guaranty of their earnings when put
into a bank. The exact form OF the
law, whether the bill offered by Rep
resentative SchWing or Representative
Powell matters little to them, as these
bills refer more to details, interesting
especially to the banks. 1t is the Sc
curity the people want, and they will

Too long have the people put theil
money into banks without the slight

integrity of the bank officials, against

average of honesty is high, rather thar
