Lady Voters Enjoy Trip
Over CeIcasieu Roads

About foIty.six ladies from Welsh
and vicinity were taken over the good
roads of Calcasieu parish yesterday,
going to Lake Charles and Lake Prien,
where the club house was thrown open
to them, and lemonade was served.
Speeches were made by Mayor W. B.
Gabbert, and C. E. Carr, after which
they returned to Lake Charles where
they spent an hour sight seeing and re-
turned home.
We hope that the trip over the good
roads will make lasting impression
and if not all, the most of them will
work and vote for good roads; as the
ladies are as much interested in the
progress and advance ment of Our coun'
try as the men are. And we hope that
on July 9th they will show their appre
citation of the visit by voting for good
roads.

Bank Helps BOYS to Secure
Registered Pigs.
Bank

A difficulty that often confronts the
organizer of pig clubs is the lack OF
money on the part Of the Would-be
members with which to purchase
pure-bred animal. For this reason
BOYS are sometimes allowed to enter
a club and raise grade pigs. This diff
ficulty is solved in Calcasieu Parish by
the liberal policy of the First National
Bank of Lake Charles. The officials of
that bank, upon learning oil the splen-
did work that is being done by the
clubs, made an offer to lend money to
any boy or girl who wished to purchase
thoroughbred pig. The money is
loaned upon the recommendation of
the parish superintendent or the local
demonstration agent in charge OF
the club work. No endorsement is
required on the notes and no int
terest is charged for twelve months
If at the end of twelve months the hoy
is unable to meet payment he is allow
ed to renew the note for another
twelve months at eight per cent inter
est. A great many club members
throughout the parish have availet
/ themselves at this opportunity to Sc
cure registered stock.
! The same terms are offered to mem,
bers Of the girls canning clubs wh'
wish to purchase canning. cntfits.

Home Economics n the Public
Schools of Louisiana

During the school year that has just
drawn to close, five thouS3pd school
girls Of this state have hal instruction
in domestic science and those related
subjects concerned in home making,
In the cooking lessons they have Leen
taught how to cook and serve those
vegetables and meats available in the
community. The work has been very
practical with just enough theory to
explain the "Why"of the methods used.
Sewing courses have been planned to
meet the individual needs of the girls
themselves, leading not only to ef.
f1ciency in making any article of cloth
ing but also to discrimination and taste
in selecting materials to be used. Our
efforts have not been confined to
problems in sewing and cooking, how
ever, as they are only part of the study
of home. making. The high school girl
should know something of home man
agement, organization. care, repair,
home sanitation, accounts and buying.
These lessons are included in the
course called household management.
If it is true that women are the ma
tons spenders" course giving def
mite ideas concerning the division OF
the income, the keeping of household
accounts and a bank account is an
essential part of the training,
Home econt mics was flrSt introduced
in the public schools three years age
and has become an important part Of
high school education. On completing
the four-year course as planned In the
state course of study pupils are en-
titled to four units toward graduation
and wherever they have been allowed
to choose, fully 80 per cent have
elected the home economics course
The girls want the work and many o.
them, according to statements by higt
school principals, stay in school longer
because of it. In some cases, too
greater interest is shown in academic
subjects because of the home econo,
mics work.-MiSS R. M. Billings, State
Supervisor Of Home Economics
