corps into action"
PetrOgrad, Dec. 31.-The Russian
view of the military situation in Po-
land. in the light of recent deyelop-
ments. is that definite check has
been administered TO the Germans.
The evacuation by the Germans of the
village of MistrZewice, five miles north
OF Sochaczew, related officially by the
war office, is regarded by military
critics here as "the ringing down Of
the curtain on the third German adj
vance toward Warsaw"
at tremendous loss to themselves,
the Germans had succeeded in es-
tablishing foothold in Mistrzewice,
on the east bank of the Bzura river,
but their persistent sledge hammer
attacks during the last three weeks
failed to penetrate the Russian line
before Warsaw. The Germans stead
lily threw reinforcements into the
town in an endeavor to extend their
position along the river. When it
became evident that the Austrian
advance from the Carpathian noun
ated the village during intervals be-
tween Russian attacks. The Austrian
operations from the Carpathians evil
IDENTIFY formed an integral part of the
general plan of the Germans for the
Warsaw campaign.
Artillery Brought Up.
Heavy artillery is being brought up
by the Germans along their center
between skierniewice and the Pilica
river. This is regarded here as purely
a defensive move, designed to prevent
the breaking of the German line hv

SENIORS EErED.

The high school pupils entertained
the Seniors, Monday evening, with a
dance at Pythian Hall, to which only
escorts for each girl and each lady
teacher, besides the parents, were
invited The guests were paired by
the invitation committee, so that there
was an equal representation of the sex
es.The Seniors, Misses Hamilton, Daniel,
Cutrer, Harvey, Tooraen, Binning, and
Smith, and Mr.. Willie Fort Jr., receiv-
ed, assisted by Mrs. A. F. Barrow,
acting for Miss Dixon, the first assist
ant teacher. The music for dancing
was furnished mainly by Miss Belle
Tempel, on the piano, who rendered
this unselfish tribute to her former
school-mates. Miss Emma Brasseaux
and Mrs. E. S. Quinn relieved her SO
that she enjoyed an occasional dance.
Ice cream, cake and candy were
served in the annex, shortly after ten
o'clock, upon beautifully laid tables
Fruit punch was served throughout the
evening. The dance concluded long
before twelve, and every one seemed
to have nice time The pretty dance
programs, printed in the high school
colors, were the gift of Mr.. F. L. Nanny
of The True Democrat.

The charge, made before the school
board, derogatory to the high schools
showing at the State Rally, requires
an answer in justice to those con-
cerned. Three prizes have been the
former record of the high school, and
three prizes were won, this year,
namely, first prize, physical training;
second prize, plane geometry; second
prize, domestic science. The class in
Geometry was small, and second rank
is not to be despised when 1t is consid-
cred that the high schools of all the
cities of the state were competing.
Moreover, Supt. Smith was told by the
gentleman who graded the papers at
Baton Rouge that the paper of one of
the members of the st. Francisville
class, Miss Leake, lacked only one
point of tying for first rank. Perhaps
the usual prizes in Ninth Grade Latin
and Algebra would have been won had
the pupils been better prepared by the
teacher of last year.

THE SENIORS PLAY.

The original play, "The Burglar
Man." staged last Friday evening at
Pythian Hall, under direction of Miss
Irene Dixon, was very well done and
most cordially received. There was a
good house, about $4,000 being receiv-
ed at the door. Other features of the
program were an opening chorus by
high school girls, recitation by little
Miss Margaret Barrow, and another
recitation, "She Wanted a Divorce"
by Miss Amy Leake. There was stage
dancing, the one-step, by two small
couples, c. B. Mcguire and little Miss
Rosie Tempel, and little Alma Rogers
and Amanda Hodge. The two last
mentioned are mere tots, but withal
SO bright and sweet, in white lace and
ribbons, that their steps" were found
to be very fetching, receiving an
encore.
But after all "the plays the thing"
and it was generally agreed to be quite
clever, Miss Mary Hamilton as the old
maid being especially good. The re-
partee was well sustained, evoking
laughter. The best hit was,
rag and the world rags with you,
Waltz and you waltz alone"
On the conclusion of the stage pro-
gram, there was dancing for the re-
mainder of the evening.

TRUCK sHlPM ENTS.

Fourteen cars of cabbage and two
of potatoes were shipped from Bayou
Sara during the present week, bring
ing the total for the past three weeks
up to twenty-four cars of potatoes and
twenty-six of cabbage. The small ship
ment of potatoes this week was caused
by the rainy weather as the ground
was too wet to dig. Potatoes will go
forward in larger quantities as soon as
the ground is dry enough to permit
digging.
The True Democrat is unable to get
figures on shipments made from other
points in the parish.
No beans have been shipped this
week, as the price on this commodity
has declined to such a level as to
make it improbable to ship.
S. l.. Riggs and M. J. Daniel will
start shipping tomatoes about June 5.
The present rate of shipment of po-
tatoes and cabbages will continue until
about June 10th, when the season will
be over. The price of potatoes re-
mains at 75c per bushel, and cabbages
at 75c per crate
Farmers are now preparing to plant
fall crops of Irish potatoes and cab
bage; and also to set out sweet potato
plants. The sweet potato crop has
been the best money crop the farmers
of this parish have produced for sew
eral years.
