We print a clipping on our first
page from the jackson Independ-
ent about John Watts, the fifteen
year old boy who was convicted
in the Grant parish district court
three weeks ago of breaking into
the Iatt Lumber Co. commissary
and stealing $135 in cash. The
Independent says the boy should
be treated in some public institu-
ton, and that is just the view
Judge Andrews took of the case.
He decided the boy was a moral
pervert, and so he sent him to
the State Reformatory at Monroe
for six years, with the hope thai
by that time he can be reformed

Germany has sunk three or -four

A Terrible Earthquake in Italy.

A Terrible Earthquake IN Italy.
On Wednesday, January IL,
the entire southern portion OF
Italy was visited by one of the
most disastrous earthquakes that
has occurred for many years.
Fully q towns and cities were
totally orpartially destroyed, and
the killed are said to number at
least $4,000, while the manned
and wounded will amount to four
OF: five times that number. The
destruction to property was ap.
palling, and the restitution and
suffering among the people is re-
ported to be very great. The
catastrophe was so great that fol
three or four days the news from
the earthquake zone overshadow
ed the news from the great Euro
pean war in the daily newspapers
Offers of assistance were i'm
mediately made by the United
States and other nations. bu
Italy heroically replied that sh'
would take care of her own sui
fering people, just as she did il
the great Masseni earthquake
ten years ago.

There are myths told in Holland
that some time their entire land VIII
be raised above the level of the sea
and the dikes will then be nothing

was higher than 1t now is. AT one
lime the Zuider Zee, the great inland
gulf of Holland, sank. The zuider
Zee was covered formerly with great
forest. The trees are still to be found
on the floor of the Zuider Zee Just as
they were hundreds Of years ago. The
legends tell that promise was maoe

Zee to- the land again.

Prohibition a Live Wire.

aced States rights. True, he
stood with five other Louisiana
Congressman who voted IS he

all wrong, and viii find the issue

their political hopes for the flu
ture unless they hedge fast and

should control this issue

or the American people on thi'
question. whether the State Of
the Nation is to control the liquor

men who stand in the way have
got to go.
1t is ridiculous to talk abou
States rights in connection wit
prohibition. Yes, the States, tn
counties and the communities, a
have their rights, and they ar
going to see to it that prohibitio
is enforced by county, State an

 The Legion of Honor is the only order of merit that exists in France Napoleon authorized the decoration ir 1902, when he was the first consul o1 the republic.

 Empress Catherine II instituted the Russian Order of St. George in 176e for her officers of the army and navy The order has now four classes for commissioned officers and fifth grade for common soldiers. The cross Is presented for taking a fortress or ves- sel, for conspicuous presence of mind and for counsel that may lead to vic- tory. It is a gold-e edged. white enamel Maltese cross, and 1t bears a red plaque of St. George and the dragon.
 The Austrian Order of Maria The resa Is a purely military one. and was founded by the famous empress of Austria in 1757, for officers who had distinguished themselves in war. Ii is an enameled white cross edged with gold. Inscribed in the center. round the arms of Austria Is the word. "Forti- tudlni." Other decorations are the Japanese Order of the Golden Kite, the Serbian Royal Order of the White Eagle, and Belgium's elaborate Order of Leopold.

The order dates from the Civil war. II is given sparingly. and is one of the most highly prized of military decora tions.-Youths Companion.
