from a business visit to Baton Rouge.
He is enthusiastic in his report Of this
meeting. Mr.. Wade is using his inau-
ence i'm organizing Tomato Clu1s, which,

For long time the Gazette has
advocated the absolute need of a
fire hell to he located in the Court
House Square, but despite our
urgent entreaties and frequent warn
ings the City Fathers turned a deaf
ear. The Gazette takes no credit
for the erection of a fire bell in the
Court House yard this week, but
congratulates the Mayor and Board
OF Aldermen on the step taken, and
1t gives us pleasure to say that the
idle bell that has hung in the belfry
OF the Court House since the cree
ton of that,handsome structure was
recently taken out by Mr.. B. F.
Hornsby and was this week erected
on structure just behind the Court
House and will be used for Court.
the necessity of which has long been
felt, and also to sound alarm of fire
whenever that contingency shall
arise.

Only few short years ago, prac-
tically every farmer in this parish
had to buy corn and hay to feed his
work stock, and to-day, we find the
farmers of Tensas shipping corn and
hay to Texas, st. Louis and to va
rious points in Louisiana. Three or
four corn buyers visited our town
during the past few days and were
offering good prices for corn in car
load lots, and several cars were sold.
This goes to show that if we will
raise something to eat, we will al
ways find a ready market for it.
Let the great improvement continue.

no longer have to suffer the embarrass-
ment oi insufficient household goods
when we wish to entertain our friends

opportunity OF serving some one with
them. We also have been equipped with
linen for the dining room,-table clothes
and napkins

bined have to give up their work as

have walked into the shoes of these
classes and they will now hold the place
as hostesses when friends are to he en-
tertaincd.
After having devoted liberal amount
OF time to the preparation OF meals for the
sick, the WE'LL the aged and children, the
older classes are now being trained in
house construction, decoration and home
making. They are being faithfully trained
in household economy, branch OF the
work that seems very essential. at the
present time when everybody is mourn
ing over hard times.
1t seems to be the purpose Of the State
to make good housewives out Of the
girls, but it is hardly fair that the boys
are not likewise being trained more es-
pecialy in their part OF the home max
ing. We fear that they will get the best
OF the bargain in house keeping.

 At home in Holland even the Rot terdam Street Car Company is a Bel -ian concern, while. notwithstanding the fact that the country is naturally rich--in its hard-working people, in its soil its ports, its waterways and its fuel iu the shape of peat-and should be able to supply all its own necessities, it permits foreigners to import many articles of ordinary use which it could produce itself A few instances of this kind are safes and locks, printing presses, matches, soap electric lamps. pins and needles
 Lack of foresight on the part of the Dutch was shown in the question of the supply of armaments for the Meth erlands army. A combination of Dutchmen offered it is said. to con- sruct an arms factory and make ri- files up to the required standard and even went so Tar as 70 manufacture and show the government a hundred rifles of the calibre required but the government declined the offer and bought the arms abroad
 Apart from their own immediate interests, Dutch commercial and in- dustrial hold the view that the coun- tries of South America, as result Of the uncertainty brought about in Flu rope by the war. will probably begin to look more to North America for their sources Of supply. On the other hand they regard it as likely that Ger many. with her enormous commercial and industrial energy win be forced after hostilities have ceased, to look round for new outlets for her trade and will thus come into direct compe- tition with the United States.
