this Parish road will be built
upon the same model. The
offer Of the Commission made
to the towns will enable
them to build their streets at
a much less expense than
they could otherwise do, be-
cause they will get the ma
terials and contracts OF the
Commission at cost and will
receive the benefit of the
services of its expert engi-

The contracts for the road
are all made-the material
for its construction has been
purchased-it will soon be
ready for use, and in a few
months the Parish of st.

having a durable model road
running through her domain
from her southern to her

A Model Farm.

On Wednesday evening last the
editor of the Banner and Judge
Ihos. M. Milling visited the Pet
erman Farm owned by Hon. W..
T. Peterman, situated in the rear
of Franklin, about one mile from
the court hou-e. The farm is up
to-date in every particular. On it
he raises everything a successful
farmer should raise and he raises
it on intelligent and scientific
lines. 1t is truly model farm.
The grounds are we'll arranged
and the field is~cultivatcd like a
garden. The poultry yards
and hog pens are kept per-
fectly clean and in a sanitary
condition. He has on hand
now about 1900 head of chickens,
quite a number of which are of
the Fl lest breed. Mr.. Pete.man
has constructed a complete irri-
eating plant. He is now having
erected an elevated tank with a
capacity of 1900 gallons of water
with pipes running from il
throughout the entire place. The
place is perfectly drained. Will.
the crops of his neighbors has
suffered during the present I'M
usual drought, his crops are green
and furnishing. He has now
about 20 acres Of the finest corn
ever grown in the Parish of St
Mary, and his garden and truck
products are among the best. The
cause of this is plain-foresigbt
and good judgment. He, to use
the vernacular of the old settlers,
docs not engage in "providenc,
farming" When the drought re-
main with US, he is not worried,
because he has provided artificial
means to water his crops-when
the rain comes too p!entifully on
his crops, by the same means he
carries the excess of water away
from them. The farm is under
the management of our young
friend, Mr.. Chss. Robichaux.
We have ALWAYS said without
fear of contradiction, that Mr..
Wilson T. Peterman is the best
sheriff in the State, and when we
view this beautiful farm of his,
we can as truthiully say that he
Inns taken the lead among the J
best farmers in the State.

States Of California, New York and

THE GOOD ROADS
COMMISSION MEETS,

The Good Roads Commits
sion of the Parish of st. Mary
met on Thursday last and
was in session all day. 1t
was an important meeting
because it concludes all the
preliminaries for the active
work and because it assured
an early building of a model
road through the Parish
from Bayou Bouef to Jeaner.
ette-an improvement when
completed will be Ct incalcu.
liable benefit to our people,
and without one cent extra
taxation to them.
The first meeting Ct the
Good Roads Commission,
which is composed Of the
following named gentlemen:
Messrs. Chas N. Frost, chair
man, James A. Peterman,
Wilbur H. Kramer, F. E.
Robertson, w. N. Gooch, r.
A. Pharr and JnO. r. Drack.
EFT, was held on November
9, 1914, and ever since then
the efforts Of the Commission
have been interchangeable in
looking to the interest Of the
taxpayers in every movement
and every particular as to-
the quality, durability and
cheapness of the proposed
model road. Its efforts have
been eminently successful.
We are confident that the
untiring energy and good
judgment of the members Of
the Commission will receive
the hearty commentator,
not only Of the taxpayers,
but Of all our people.
At the meeting held on
last Thursday the Commits.
sion passed a resolution in
which they decided to adopt
and did adopt the Thompson
wash gravel as the base of
the model road, and the con.
tract for the cementing clay
binder was awarded to the
Tioga Gravel Company.
The bid Of Chotin q Dyer
for the transportation Of the
wash gravel was accepted, |
and the bid of Mr.. Hampton
Reynolds for the unloading
of the barges containing the
wash gravel was also accept
ed.
H. For the construction work
the road the bid of Mr..
Hampton Reynolds was &C.
cepted at a previous meeting
Of the Commission.
The following resolution
respecting the municipalities
Of the Parish was also
adopted:

a WORD FOR THE BOY.

A boy of fifteen years of age is, in
our opinion, at the most important
period of his life. He is at the forks
of. the road What he. needs more
titan anything else is sympathy and
advice. 1tafwould be strange indeed
if boys did not build castles; in Spain
at that. age, and what they need is
the practical suggestions of some, one
who is in himself a success in life
to guide them. Most people think
that. boys do not need either sym
pathyior advice. 1t is a great mistake.
They need it as much as girls. We
have never known one Of them to
refuse to. take advice if it was ten
defed at the right time, in the right
place. and in the right spirit. The
mistake that most people. make in
talking, to boys is that they lecture
them in. season and out, persecute
them with all sorts of foolish sdgges-
tions, and expect more from them
that, they would from a man., If we
had any word or counsel to give it
would be: Don't lecture boy. Don't
nag him. Don't persecute him If he
| has done wrong. Don't laugh at him
if he has failed, perhaps in some over
ambitious boyish schemes. Don't
crush him. Don't break his spirit
Give, boy chance. Show him his
mistake, and then show him what he
should do. When you crush a boys
spirit you have ruined the boy-in all
probability he will blossom. into a
first class dude.

Then Ilene, recalled to her senses,

George reached Wilton in time to

placed under arrest. After the excite

Sheldon.

The ride was silent one, as neither
vas inclined to talk. When they

IS O'clock. They saw Ilene's anxious
face at the window. Without word
Harold jumped from his horse and
started for the house. George, with an
amused smile on his face, decided that

tired horses. h.
ooh, Harold, was he in time?" ask
ed 1lene as she opened the door.

her closer as he explained, Dear, you
know I've loved you ever since the
day you came to Wilton, and want
you to" The sentence was never
finished. Ilene understood. and the
look i'll her blue eyes told Harold that
she would accept his reward.
