The First Kiss.

the first time is that there is nc
taste to it. "-Exchange.
No taste to it! Well, by the

the editor of that paper must be

taste resembles sip of nectar,
brewed by the gods and served in

A Dangerous Pastine.

The first question an honorable
man asks when he sees a girl
flirting is whether she is respect
able girl or not. You see how it
raises doubt at once. This being
the case no modest girl can afford
to indulge in this pastime among
strangers. When the down is
brushed from the peach the beauty
is so marred that it can never be
restored, and SO when a girl throws
lightly aside that sweet and m Oldest
reserve SO becoming maiden.
she loses her greatest charm aud
becomes rather common and
cheap. Flirting may seem to the
giddy and thoughtless girl to be
wonderfully amusing, and she
may even get an idea she is quite
fascinating, but it is a degrading
pastime and should be frowned
upon by every young lady who
has an ambition to be worthy
and charming woman.

American Horses In Batttte.

The American horse is one OF

ofthe European war. Represent
atives of many foreign govern
ments are in this country purchas-
ing horses for the various armies
Of the warning nations and practi-
cally every state in the Union is
contributing cavalry material to
the belligerent factions.
The American horse is a utility
animal and excels that of any
other country en- the face of the
earth. He has plowed our fields,
fought our battles and is the most
faithful of animal kind. His re-
putation has extended to other
countries and he is now going to
perform the services for foreign
countries which he has SO faith
fully fulfilled at home.

The people who are prone to fall on

Good Roads Commission Of
st. Mary Meets.

The Good Roads Commission
recently appointed by the Presi.
dent OF the Police Jury, met on
last Monday and perfected it's
< cation.
lh- u Ii bers Of the commission
conversed among themselves the
work before them, but reached no
definite conclusion as to plans and
methods of accomplishing that
task. They adjourned to meet
again next Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock.
The President of the Police Jury
has shown fine judgment in the
selection of the persons who are
to assist him in this great work.
They are men with large exper-
fence in matters of this kind.
They have the welfare of the Par
ish at heart. They are energetic,
public.spirited and possess first
class business ability. They will
succeed.
We understand that there will
be no unnecessary delay in this
work, but action will be COM
menced at once and continued
wisely and vigorously until the
great work is accomplished. And
will be accomplished without a
single extra burden and extra tax
alton on the taxpayers of the par
ish as was done in the building
of the court house which is now
nearly paid for.
The want of continuous good
roads has been a great drawback
to the prosperity of the Parish,
especially to the merchants and
other business men of the towns
within it's borders.
Now, that permanent good roads
are about assured to US, let US
join together and earnestly assist
and encourage the Good Road
Commission in a speedy constrnc-
ton of them.

BRAINS And HEELS.

Your brains and your heels will
have to be we'll oiled and in prime
working condition if you keep up
with the fashionable dance fads
this winter. They are many and
varied and crazy, and the person
who qualities as an expert will be
the craziest of all.
There is the standardized hesit.
alton. gavotte, duryea waltz and
Brazilian Polka-quite crazy.
The Castle fox trot and the trou-
vile trot are "some trots," while
the ta-tao, Lulu fado, canter one

WHAT OF THE SOUTH?

While we are sending ehip1oads
of Christmas presents to the or.
phaned children of. Europe; aud
contributing millions for the
Christianizing OF heather lands,
let US consider matters a little
nearer home.
A great section of our own
country is face to face with the
possibility of financial ruin. A
gallant people are making heroic
stand 10 the face of overwhelming
ODDS.
The South is not able to market
its cotton crop because of the war.
And for its ready cash it depends
largely upon that crop, And
without cash it will be ruined.
There are many millions of dol
lars il the north waiting for pro-
fitable investment.
What better could the north do
than tosaid the south by buying
it's cotton and holding it until the
markets of the world are again
opened?
1t would be legitimate invest
ment-doubtless a profitable one
and a brotherly action by a
section of the country

honey crop. According to the
Bureau of Crop Estimates of the
United States Department of Agffi-

bees was 40 pounds. In 1918 the
production per hive was 80 pounds.
The increased production is said
to be-due to the enormous crop of
wild flowers this season.
The latest census figures of the
bee and honey industry of this
State relate to 1910 That year
