Passing of a Pioneer.

Mrs. M. M. Todd, of this city,
passed away last Saturday at Ell
sinore, Calf, whittier she had
gone about a year ago, hoping
the climate of California would
benefit her health. For time
there apparently was an i'm
provement, and her relatives en-
tertained hopes of her recovery,
but relapse came about two
months ago, and it was soon ap-
parent the end was near. Sew
eral days ago Mr.. Todd and her
son William left for her bedside
and were with her at the end.
Mrs. Todd had been a resident of
Winslow for twenty years, and
was beloved by all who came in
contact with her, and her death
brings q sadness to her many
friends. Besides a husband and
son she leaves a brother and Sis
ter to mourn her loss. Inter
ment was made at Elsinore.

Sunday "Movies." !"

Ihe Electric Theatre will con-
tinue to operate on Sunday even
ing as usual. Tuesday night the
city council, by vote of a to 2,
so decided. Councilman Stod-
dard expressed the correct idea
when he said Winslow was not
yet ready for blue laws, and a
majority of the council apparent
ly agreed with him. And why
should it be closed. Mr.. Seegar
prides himself on the fact that
he maintains a high-class amuse-
ment house, and his patrons are
as intelligent and decorous as the
people who attend church. Be-
cause the editor don't want to go
to a moving picture show Sunday
evening is no reason why the
place should be closed, and other
people denied an evening of
harmless entertainment. TWen-
ty-five years ago. before the au-
tomobile and moving picture be-
came a part of the American life
in the boom days of the bicycle,
we listened to a sermon on Sun
day observance by an eminent
Congregational minister, in an
eastern city, in which he said he
said he thought everybody ought
to go to church once on Sunday,
and twice if they felt so dispos-
ed, and the balance of the day
be given over to restful enjoy
ment and relaxation from the tolls
of the week; and then followed
a couple of illustrations. If he
was a clerk or office man, housed
up all week he would go to
church in the morning, and then
take his fishing rod, mount his
bicycle, and HE away to some
quiet stream for day of enjoy
ment, and communion with God
and nature; if he was farmer
or heavy manual laborer he would
rest quietly at home in his ham
mock, and pass his day in read
ing and sleeping. We remem-
bered what the preacher said be-
cause we owned bicycle and a
fishing rod, and worked in an Of
flee. The sensational evangelist,
who goes transforming about
the country, satiated with the
egotism of his own greatness,
is the fellow who thinks and
breaches that all pleasures are
sins, and delivers himself of pu-
trid utterances that would shame
bowery street corner orator.
AS a father, personally we would
rather our boys would spend the
evening in Col. Toms picture
show than to listen to that kind
of an alleged evangelist, or be a
Sunday night street loafer mouth
ing filthy stories. There are on
ly three places where a nice
young man should be found Sun
day evening-he ought to be at
church; or spend the evening at
the home of some young lady; or
go to Col. Seegar's moving pic
ture show. Don't be a street
loafer, or a back-room poker
player.

In remittance letter received
from u. z. Rand, from San Die
go, that gentleman tickled the
editors vanity with the follow
ing postscript: Three cheers for
the new Winslow Mail. An old
timer who spent over twenty
years in Winslow likes to look
over readable paper from his
home town. Good luck Mr.. Ed
itor. !" If everybody agreed with
Mr.. Rand our bump of ego would
be a burden to carry.
Frank Chadek tells the editor
that the range cattle have al
ready commenced drifting into
town, invading private yards and
destroying the lawns. It would
seem that our city authorities
ought to insist on a strict en-
forcement of the ordinance re-
lating to stock running at large.
When our citizens put in hard
summers work improving their
lawns, it is a little discouraging
to say the least, to have them
destroyed by cattle running at
large.

and by his close study and application,
he will the next year lessen the losses
and increase the gains. The farm needs
the trained mind as badly as the store or
the railroad office. The farmer needs to
be able to write a good hand, to spell
correctly, to figure rapidly and accu-
rately, to know how to write deeds, or to
know when they are properly written, to
write mortgages, notes, contracts, bills
of sale, etc. We would advise our young
who are farming, or who expect to farm,
to give this matter careful consideration.
We also give thorough course in the
CHASING and Marking of cotton, a sub
ject of vital Importance to our young
men. Tie Tyler Commercial College
has had many a young man to take the
business course with the sole aim of
going back to the farm and making the
best farmer in the community, and a
leader in all progressive movements.

mercial school in this country that is de-

To Better Rural Conditions.

AS the writer understands it, the Ex-
tension Department of the Louisiana
State University has for it's primary
object the betterment of rural condi-
tons generally. Recognizing that the
student of to-day becomes the producer
and the builder of tomorrow, interest
and best effort are centered in that d.
rection.
Prof. E. S. Richardson, at the head of
the Extension Department of the State
University, and his coworkers, Prof.
Bayless and Prof. Miers, are now tour
ing the State in an effort to further the
aims of the department to which they
are attached. They were here Monday,
their visit at this time resulting because
of the solicitation of Mrs. L. C. Buckley,
of Shreveport, formerly resident of
the parish, and who accompanied them.
All club work among the student body
of the schools of the State is encour-
aged, especially the organization of
corn and pig clubs among the boys and
canning clubs among the girls. Monday
afternoon for about one and a half hours
the pupils of Benton High School en-
ioyed, at the hands of these gentlemen,
an illustrated lecture, which was both
highly entertaining and instructive. On
the screen before the pupil was pictured
rural scenes, live stock, ETC., as they
should be and as they should not be. So
plainly did they stand out and so keenly
were the contrasts drawn that lasting
impressions must have been gained by
the students present. Following this
was a rare treat-motion pictures OF
track day meets at the principal colleges
of the State, even including roll OF
films showing a portion of one of the
football'games played at the State Fair
grounds this month.
The reporter was informed by Mr.
W. A. Fortson, Parish Superintendent
of Public Education, that these gentle
men will make another trip into this
parish to-day and, if roads and weather
permit, will visit the Rocky Noun,
School this forenoon, the Red Lane
School this afternoon, the Plain Dealing
School tonight, and the Miller's Bluff
School tomorrow.

"Mr. John H. Allen of Red Land

Railroads are of incalculable benefit.
They are the arteries through which the
life blood of commerce must flow. Good
dirt roads are close second to railroads,
and without them any community or
state is greatly handicapped. Bossier
Parish is too sparsely settled just now
to build the best of roads, but there is
no excuse for not having them as good
as we can. -" The lapse of ten years
has seen big improvement in Boosters
roads as whole. Also, the parish can
now boast of about forty miles OF hard
surface roads and is after more.
