About Our School.

To the Public:
To quiet certain rumors as to doubt
about the standing Of the Benton High
School, make the following statement:
In personal interview with Mr.. Har-
ris, the State Superintendent of Public
Education, he assured me that the Ben
ton High School had complied with all
the requirements of the State Board of
Education, and would be continued as an
approved high school, without the loss Of
any privilege, or any prejudice against
its work. The school is thoroughly
equipped in its different departments,
both as to faculty and apparatus, and
has entered upon the work of the 1914. Is
session with every promise of most
successful year.
Pupils from any portion of the parish
or State will be gladly entered upon ou1
roll.
As to correctness OF above statement,
refer to Mr.. Fortson and Mr.. Harris.
Respectfully,
G.. H. IRON,
Chairman Board Trustees.

The writer's remedy for mango among

The writer's remedy for mango among
dogs has heretofore been sulphur and
train oil, or sulphur and lard, or sulphur
and vaseline, the first perhaps being the
best, if there is much of preference.
OF course it is the sulphur that kill the
parasite and thus works the cure. The
oil merely helps to form a paste and
allows the sulphur to work down into
the pores of the skin. An authority on
dog diseases speaks of sulphur as the
sovereign remedy for skin trouble.
A friend living in THE place has told
us of remedy which he claims never
fails to result in cure when properly
administered. It is about the same as
the we'll known and popular old standby
referred to. above, with the addition OF
one ingredient. Here is the recipe:
First thoroughly wash the dog, using
an antiseptic soap, say good carbolic
soap manufactured for kennel use.
Scrub we'll, breaking up all old scales
and scabs. After rubbing dry, or after
the dog has become dry on account Of
enforced exercise or from natural causes,
freely apply the following mixture:
Two heaping teaspoonfuls OF powdered
bluestone, a half pound of lard and a
quarter pound of sulphur. Rub in we'll.
One application should do.

chased from the Schwartz Optical Com

a good fit and well suited to his failing

guarantees glasses that overcome any

Call for Meeting of Cotton Growers.

Call for Meeting of Cotton Growers.
To the Cotton Growers, Merchants, Bankers
and Business Men of Louisiana.
The cotton growing industry of the
South is facing a serious crisis on account
of the war in Europe and it becomes the
duty of the growers, bankers, merchants
and business men of the South to get
together through some concert of action
and save the situation.
The cotton conference held at New
Orleans on the 9th and 2Sth of August
passed a resolution asking the Southern
Cotton Association to hold both county
and State meetings to prepare the farm
ers to meet the war crisis in cotton and
that these meetings be called by State
presidents as follows: Parish or county
meetings to be held Saturday, Septem-
Der 10th; State meetings Tuesday, Sep
TENDER 22h; Central meeting at New
Orleans September Goth. Therefore a
meeting is called to be held at every
parish seat in Louisiana on Saturday,
September 10Th, to organize the differ
ent parish associations and elect one
delegate to attend the State meeting,
| which is called to meet at Alexandria on
Tuesday, September 22d, said meeting
to organize the State Association and
elect State officers and elect delegates to
attend the central meeting to be held at
the city of New CLEANS on Tuesday,
September 10Th, at which time the cen
trail organization will be perfected and
officers elected.
Let everybody show their loyalty to
this cause by getting the people toge-
ther in the different parishes and hold
ing good meetings, raise sufficient funds
to pay your delegates expenses to the
State meeting and elect good men as
i your parish officers who will be workers
in the cause.
We earnestly desire and request the
local cooperation of the Farmers
Union, the Southern Cotton Congress
Farmers Institute and other organiza-
tions and we also earnestly request all
State newspapers to publish this call fol
these various meetings.

Braeein' on the Parish Fair.

Mr.. E. S. Burt of this place is still
braggin' on the Bossier Parish Fair and
everybody likes to hear him do it, for
he is one of the men who are its very
backbone, as well as director. Last
year his exhibits were good and took a
number of ribbons, which was crafty
ing to his friends, for his interest was
evident. Later, at the State Fair he
captured twenty five blue ribbons and
three reds, more than were awarded to
any other one exhibitor. If we had more
men of Mr-Burt's type in our parish the
exhibits at both fairs would always be
fuller, and our Parish Fair would fairly
excel itself.
Mr.. Burt wishes us to urge all who
have agricultural products to make ex-
hibits even if only one. Those of this
community who wish to make only one
or two exhibits may send them to Ben
ton, in his care, and he will see that
they reach Plain Dealing and are prop
erly displayed at the Parish Fair. He
will later announce in print the date on
| which such packages will be received
here.
