Hon. Thos. Nj. Wade, Superintendent
of Education of Tensas parish, went
down to Waterproof on Tuesday to meet
the President of the School Board, Mr..
W. ID. A. Gorton, and these two gentle
men conferred with "a large delegation Of
Waterproof people at the school audi
forum on tire subject of dispensing with
the auditorium at the Waterproof High
School and converting same into two class
rooms, made necessary by the growing
attendance at this school. 1t was not,
however, the wish of the School Board
officials to do away with the auditorium
# same did not meet with the approval
of the patrons of the school, and the
matter was accordingly submitted to pop
ular vote at this meeting and the vote
was unanimous in favor of retaining the
auditorium, and i'm consequence the Of
ficials yielded to the wishes of the people.
However, it will probably be necessary
to remove the stage. but which can be
done without detriment to the building,
and so constructed that it can be easily
replaced whenever desired. The Water
proof High School has perhaps the larg-
est attendance of possibly any school i'm
the parish and under the control of Mr..
II. II. Harper the past several terms has
developed into one of the most progress
i've, and his retirement from the princi-
palship because of failing health was uni
versally regetted alike by faculty, pa
irons and pupils. Mr.. Harper's sue
cessor, Mr.. Cooper, late of the Lake
Providence High School, is young man
of unusual ability and his friends are sat-
isfed will maintain the school on the
same high plane established by his worthy
predecessor.

 Conditions
 Vy HOLLAND

New York. April s-lSpecial. .)When 1t was announced, early in March, that J. r. Morgan was to sail for London there were many conjectures about his purpose. The surmise commonly made was that he was taking the trip for the purpose of confer ring with financial authorities of England and France so that his and their minds might meet upon the terms by which the United States would through the pur- chase of securities establish large credits for each of those countries Some of MT. Morgan's friends thought that he was taking advantage of favorable oppor- working very hard since July of last year. That is true also of his associates. There has been no eight-hour day for them, and many times they have been obliged to work far into the night So it was as- stunned that Mir. Morgan might feel that he was entitled to 8 brief vacation.
 Now it is known that the surmise com business one, and that it involves nego- tioations of almost unprecedented magni- tude and certainly original was correct Within few days after there came TOT nal announcement that he had negotiated for his own house and bankers who are associated in the transaction the purchas SC of some S5O.0o0,0oo, behind which stands the credit of France. there came another an- nouncement that almost all of the issue had been absorbed.

COTTON MARKET IS RATHER UNSETTLED
New High Records in Cotton But Undertone Is
 Nervous

New York. April s-While new high rec ords have been established in the cotton market here during the past week the
 undertone has been nervous and rather
 unsettled. Firmness in Liverpool and
 the large spot sales there seemed to be
 chiefly responsible for the advances which carried December contracts up to
 the 1os4c level in the local market on
 Tuesday but Liverpool weakened later in the week, and there was break here of about 40 points. which, however was
 partly recovered during todays trading.
 The reaction of nearly s2 a bale reflect
 ed more or less general realizing or liaui-
 dation, and talk among local traders be-
 sides the action of prices has suggested
 an unsettled if not more bearish av-
 craze of sentiment. Apprehensions have
 been expressed, for instance, that the
 reported decrease In demand from ex-
 porters would be followed by increased southern offerings against actual cotton in the contract markets at prevailing pre-
 niums, and the tendency to liouidate long commitments has also been promoted
 by better weather and predictions that
 present prices for new crop months would
 lead to the planting of larger acreage
 than originally expected
 A private report early this week indi- eated a decrease of about 20 per cent in acreage, and was regarded as bullish statement particularly as it confirmed re- ports of decrease of from 3S to 40 per
 cent in the use of fertilizers but reports toward the end of February had suggest ed a reduction of fully 20 per cent in acreage and another private estimate to- day made the decrease only 16.S per cent The later figures seemed to strengthen reactionary sentiment, while Liverpool's s recent firm ruling has also been partly attributed to increased costs of trans portation, but it was reported on today s late advance that southern holders were not offering cotton at declines. while buyers may also have been encouraged by conviction that break below 1oc for the new crop months would revive earlier ideas Of reduced acreage.
 New York stocks continue to aeeumu- late. but so far deliveries on contract have
 been limited and moderate sales of May
 have been absorbed at the discount of | about 30 points under July.

land to the United States. Mir Morgan went to London in March probably as well informed respecting the general sit uation as well as the details of it as any man in the United States, better prob ably than all but very few. He knew something of the tremendous currents which were sweeping funds from coun- tries across the sea to the United States and he had detailed information of the magnitude of the demands which are made upon American industries of al kinds, havng also abundant reason to be- lieve that the demands in their magnitude would continue and will inevitably stimu- late American domestic industries of all kinds.
 It is a wonderful sight that nov may be witnessed in London of young American banker negotiating with the great powers of finance for the purpose of establishing in the United States such facilities and such strength as will enable all the bel ligerent nations to continue their pur- chases and to do that without exporting gold to the United States An incident like this is unparalleled in American his tory.

Tomorrow dawns the day which has gained wider celebrity than any other in the history of the human race. A day which, more than any other. has been dedicated by a large portion ot ideal and the perpetuation of the mem ory Of One so kindly. so benehcient that nor age nor era nor the all ob- iterating mists of time can dim His Wondrous fame. There Is, perhaps, no spoken word of man that has a more fulsome meaning than the word Christ mas. Throughout all the ages hu- man voice has sounded no word that contains more vivid qualities of ex- to the masses of humanity. than is embraced in that sibilant grouping ot letters. Born in a dim and far off age and under conditions that Were far from favorable for it's perpetuation in the minds of men, 1t has nevertheless come rolling downward through the centuries bearing within itself a greater influence than any other ex- pression that has been written on the page of time. Christmas Is an empty word to none in Christendom. No one, great or humble in whom It's sound does not stir some pleasant recollec- ton, or revive from the dim, and cloud- ed past some long forgotten scene of joy and gladness.
 Even when 1t comes only to bring sad memories it comes to elevate, to lift Us from the commonplace, into other surroundings. And always itI comes as an influence for good, for a loosening of the taut drawn heart strings, for laying aside of the stern CT things of life, and 1t ever inclines toward the kindly and benehcent ToI the majority of Christian humanity. It .s the signal for the pent up founts of kindness to well up like a flood from hearts grown hard with tho bitter tLS9S SA AA4es Us 7oA ulQ44eSS, It's slillG and struggle, and 1t ever prompts to good and kindly words and deeds, to nobler thoughts and actions. Sternl and colloused indeed is the heart that does not feel some kindly prompting ahen the Christmas joy bells ring. Sad indeed is the soul that cannot 1nu some Joy on that day of all days whenl man permits himself to drop the mo- ment the sordid things of life and to draw a trine closer to hls fellow be- ings in that spirit of kindness and af- lection which alone makes life worth the living.
 Hardened beyond redemption IS he who cannot on Christmas day find 1t m hls heart to grant to his brother a rifle of something that will help tol lift his burden of care or ease his Journey along life's stony pathway Some there are, perhaps. who can, but truly they are. few.
