with assailing him because his wife is

He knows that he cannot sustain that
statement by any proof, whatever, to save
his life.
A candidate must be destitute indeed Of
campaign material when he thus seeks,
profanely, to capitalize so sacred thing
as a good woman's faith for political pur-

Mr.. Rely and NOT Mr.. Bilbo brought
Mrs. Reily's church affiliation into this

contrary of this emphatic truth. If any
odium attaches to that transaction it lies

THOSE MOSQUITOES.

There must be some good explana
ton for the plague Of mosquitoes in
this part of Louisiana. The empty tin
can may always be relied upon to
furnish it's large output of the trouble,
some insect, but this does not account
for the pest in country places. There
must be a great deal of stagnant water
somewhere.
Near st. Francisville and Bayou Sara
there are immense spaces covered with
still water at this time. 1t would not
cost great deal to put petroleum on
these waters that lie nearest the towns.
Meanwhile every family should be sure
that they are guiltless of the empty
tin can and beer bottle.

the boys more about agriculture In six
days than they ever heard of before.
For this purpose four professors from
the Agricultural College at Baton Rouge
and four principals of agricultural high
schools will be at Natchitoches. They
will be assisted in the teaching of ami
NAL husbandry by DR.. Neesom, the
United States expert.
Four periods day will be devoted
to the study and demonstration OF
poultry, corn, forestry, animal hus-
bandry, seed selection, canning, and
various other interesting topics.
Some of the attractive features Of
this course are, CD athletics, such as
swimming, tennis, and baseball in the
afternoons, and (2) illustrated lectures
and moving pictures at night. The
boys are assured Of good time.
The cheapness of this great educa-
tional opportunity and summers out
ing puts it within the reach of every
ambitious boy. The entire expense
during this course for each individual
will be railroad fare plus two dollars
for his board and lodging.
