The Jitney.

The jitney service in Ascension
and AssumptioE parishes while IN
operation only two weeks, is prov
ing 50 popular and passenger traf-
fc assuming such large proper
tions, that additional BUSES and
increased numher of daily trips
between terminal points have al
ready been made necessary. Rail
road connections between the I.
& p. and S. p; have been made
possible by this service which
same service has invaded AleXan-
dria, Homer, Gibsland and num-
Der of Others North Louisiana
towns.
Why can't it be inaugurated
between Campti and Clarence and
Natchitoches, Bermuda, Bayou
Natchez. Cypress. Provencal and
Robeline! Intact all the adjourn
ing towns.
The season for building good
roads is at hard, and this jitney
inauguration would stimulate the
movement and would draw coun-
try and town closer together more
quickly, easier and mutually bene
ficially, than anything else.
Just think Of the convenience OF
being able to- come into town to
attend to one:s private business,
attend court or a public meeting
of any kind, then to be able to
return home, when ready without
having to wait over, possibly
eight, ten,. fifteen or possibly more
hours, for a train?
Or how simple for a local busl-
ness man to be able to run out to
his own plantation or to see to
matters on onp belonging to some
one else, either before or after
business hours, all of which would
be possibly with good jitney
service.
It's a long; long way to Tip
perary, but with good roads and a
jitney service, Tipperary can be
always reached.
What is possible elsewhere,
should be possible and profitable
here and we hope to be able to
in the very near future
that the movement is under head
way.

Louisiana is undoubtedly a won
derful State, and a State with
unlimited possibilities. The great
est drawback in the promotion Of
immigration and the development
Of cut-over and vacant lands, has
been the lack Of good roads and
drainage. With good roads, will
naturally come drainage. The
whole State is now unquestionably
alive to the Importance of building
good roads and in almost every
parish work is being done, or is
planned for the near future.

Reassured as to the supply, the
United States navy will use oil as
fuel in all It's new fighting ships
the public lands of California
alone are said to contain enough
all to supply all that the navy is
likely to need for a century to
come.
a ship can take oil aboard very
much more rapidly than coal and
besides requiring no physical labor
does not interrupt the routine. Il
saves space by requiring smaller
boilers and firerooms. and saves
men by needing fewer in the en-
CINE room, while its merits as q
fuel are far more and better than
any thing else that can be used.

INDIGO is IN GREAT
DEMAND In ENGLAND
Absence of the Usual Supplies From
Germany Increases Demand
From India.

London, Dec. 2.-The absence of the
usual supplies of German synthetic
indigo from the leading markets of the
world has led to an eager demand for
the natural product and record prices
are being paid for the small quanti-
ties of this indispensable blue dye
which comes from India. India is the
principal producing country but the
expanding demand for indigo has led
to a rivalry of the industry in cnina
where interesting developments are
expected
An estimate from the Punjab dis
trict OF India states that the area I'M
dogo represents over IA per cent of
the total area planted in British India,
but the condition of the standing
crops is said to be below average, and
the yield from all standing crops will
probably be small.

Jackson. Miss, Dec. Gov. Brew
er stated today that he would move
out of the executive mansion about
January 10, or some eight days before
the Inauguration of Gov-elect TheO. G.
Bilbo.
It is the intention Of Gov. Brewer to
do the very polite thing by the incom-
ing governor, and give the latter and
his family ample opportunity to be
come settled in the governors mansion
prior to the inaugural date. Gov.
Brewer and family will reside in a
hotel here until Gov.-elect Bilbo takes
the oath of office, and then proceed to
Clarksdale, their future home. The
present governor thinks it is only prop
er and fitting that the incoming COVER
nor be comfortably settled before he
takes the oath of office, and he fully
realizes that Gov.-elect Bilbo and his
family will have guests in the city
whom they may like to have with them
in the executive mansion for a few
days prior to the Inauguration.

LAWMAKERS ARE AMATEURS.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. Only SO Oh
the $50 men who will compose the
next Mississippi lawmaking body have
had previous legislative experience.
A careful examination of the list OF
senators and representatives shows
that this is true, so it will be a green
legislature next year that will convene
IN the state capital to make new laws,
put others out of business and amend
existing ones.
Some of those elected TO the senate
this year served in the lower house in
1924, while others who were in the
senate wing will occupy seats in the
lower house. Still others who served
in the legislatures of the long ago will
be in the come back category.

From the conditions set forth in
