Sufferers from the blues or a crouch
are promised cure in the act of John
and Winnie Henning, "the kill kare
kouple." John is one of the real funny
men of vaudeville, a dancer, a piano
player and a singer of excellent parts
while Miss Winnie is a talented little
lady, appearing in a series of stunning
gowns.
Mile. Tina Is known far and wide in
vaudeville as one of the most accom-
plished and graceful acrobats on the
flying trapeZe. Following this exhibi-
ton she presents a series of splendid
poses.
One of the cleverest rathskellar acts
in vaudeville is that of Stepp, Goodrich
and King, who offer their own inter-
pretation of music, comedy ana SONG.
The men are said to be possessed OF
splendid voices and to offer a melange
of wit, lyrics, melody and jollity.

New Kind of Boarding House

Cooperative boarding house, without
landlady, has proved a success in this
city and reduced the cost of living, says
the Philadelphia Record. Nine persons.
none related, are conducting a co-opera-
tive household at BAIT Hamilton street.
Mrs. James Y. Rippen originated the
idea. Nine residents pay a weekly assess
ment and are assigned to their proportion
of household word each week. The ex-
pense is remarkably small, while the work
each does is trifling.
Mrs. Rippen has figured that the aver
age cost of living for each person is $50
a month, including rent, heat. light, laun-
dry and meals. The rent of the house is
$50 a month. Fuel and light cost s22.
Each co-operator pays $3.50 a week for
meals, actual cost, and 81 for laundry.
Two maids are employed to cook and
clean. and their wages amount to little
over 81 a week for each boarder.
Whatever work the maids and laundry
do not accomplish is divided among the
nine members. One has charge of the
marketing; another supervises the clean
ing; another attends to preparation of
meals, the women taking turns at this
duty. The men divide the work of attend
ing furnaces In the winter and moving
the lawn in the summer.

and the lines are both clever and orig

lights an audience.
The Rice Brothers, German comedians,
well known far and wide in vauGevilla,
make the fifth act of the bill, and as i
has been many moons since one of these
acts was at the Orpheum. the act will
probably meet with favor. The newest

Judge L. L. Hooe for Additional Dis.
trict Judge.


trict Judge.
In our announcement column
will be found the name of Hon.
orable L. L. Hooe, city Judge of
of Alexandria, who is a candi-
date for the additional Judge to
be elected in this district. Judge
Hooe was p practicing attorney
at the Alexandria bar from 1888
to 1908, at which time he was
elected city judge for period of
four years, and was reelected in
1912, having given eminent sat-
isfaction in his administration of
justice. AS a matter of fact his
duties in the trial of cases as city
judge gave him a splendid train
ing that largely fits him for the
duties of a district Judge. 1t is
noted that his trials have been
fair and impartial, and have at
tracted the most favorable atten-
ton to him, so much so that his
friends have urged his candidacy
for the position of district Judge.
He promises if elected to give
the people a full, fair, fearless
and impartial administration of
the laws, and the full protection
of the law to all men alike. He
particularly stresses the promise
that he will hold court continu-
ously until the dockets, both civil
and criminal, are cleared and all
persons charged with offenses
are tried, thus saving the people
the great expense and inconven-
fence resulting from delayed
trials and feeding prisoners con-
fined in Jail awaiting trial. He
pledges that he will give to Grant
parish the same attention andI
service that he gives to the par
ish of Rapides. He respectfully
solicits your support if you be-
lieve in giving the young man a |
chance and the opportunity to
show his merits.

For District Judge.
To the Democratic Voters of Rapides
and Grant Parishes.

To the Democratic Voters of Rapides
and Grant Parishes.
The Legislature, just adjourned, has
submitted an amendment to our State
Constitution to create an additional
judge for this district, so as to give
Rapides and Grant parishes two judges
instead of one. The amendment, to
become law and thus create the office,
must receive majority vote all over
the State in the general election in
November. think it premature, at
this time, to announce myself formally
as candidate for an office not yet Gre
ated, or to make an aggressive cam
paign in an election which may never
be held.
If, however, the people create the
extra judgeship for this district, l now
announce to my Democratic friends
and the voters of Rapides and Grant
parishes that | shall be candidate for
the nomination for the extra judgeship
by the Democratic party, and will an
nounce my name formally as soon as
the office is created. Until this hap
pens, ] respectfully request my friends
before making any pledges to consider
the fact that shall be in the race.
Respectfully yours,
JAS. ANDREWS.

A Campaign Lie Refuted.

The opposition to Mr.. Aswell
seems to rely on persistent mud
singing and untruthful canards
to bolster up the waning cause
of their candidate. This kind of
campaigning however is proving
a regular roorback to them. The
following letter completely punct-
ures one of these campaign lies,
just as several other canards
have been shown to be absolutely
untrue.
Hon, Scott Ferris, Chairman
of Committee on Public lands u.
IS. House of Representatives,
writes Mr.. Aswell as follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Aswell:
Your letter of the 9th is at
hand. 1t is true that you were
present, active and vigilant dur
ing every step Of procedure both
in the committee ard in the House
in support of your bill for the re-
lief of the old settlers in Louisi-
ana.
May | add that no member of
Congress has ever been more
faithful, more earnest and more
active in support of a poor, de-
fenseless people than you were
in this regard. You were never
absent when the bill was up for
consideration, and in fact you
did the diplomatic thing in letting
it go over in Difference to Con-
gresham Fordney, of Michigan,
who was absent, and who had
arranged with some parties on
the floor to object to the bill in
the event you did not let it go
over.
You were doing the best thing
for your constituents and doing
the diplomatic thing in having
me take the step did and you
were right at my elbow at every
stage of the game. The bill
could not have passed except for
your vigilance and help and could
not have passed without your
support.
| am surprised that the report
er made the mistake of having it
appear that said you were alb
sent. for it was Congressman
Fordney whom | referred to as
being absent.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) SCOTT FERRIS.

The Memphis News-Scimitar
commenting on the fact that
nearly all Of the German-Ameri-
can farmers in Texas are holding
their cotton without aid from
outside sources. says that they
are enabled to do so because it is
almost their invariable practice
to produce all their food on their
farms. The adoption Of this
sane and thrifty method by other
citizens of the country would be
productive of the elimination of
many troubles and worries which
make their lives sad burdens
