NEW LITERARY cELEBRlTgss55
Teacher Achieves Fame as
Winner of u. d. c. Contest.

Five, ten, or maybe fifteen years
from now there likely will be new
writer, one Ida c.. Kline, among the
literary celebrities" Of the day.
Miss Kline is the 21-year-old girl
who won the first prize in the nation
wide u. D. G. contest in which girls
from everywhere in the country COM
peted with essays, all on the same
subject, '.The Place of the South in
Southern Literature"
Mrs. ]. Pinekney Smith, chairman
of the Louisiana committee, an
nounced the winner as Miss Kline,
last week. Since then U. d. C.
members here and elsewhere have
wondered what manner of girl this
Miss Kline is.
Mrs. Smith has received from her
a long letter in which Miss Kline con-
fesses that she is Mississippi girl,
born on a plantation near Vicksburg,
and that she has been teaching
French and English at little school
at Gonzales. La. She is graduate
of the Vicksburg high school and the
Mississippi I. I. and C. One of her
ambitions is to go to Columbia Unn
versity. She has written things ever
since she can remember, and has won
u. D. G. prizes in many competi-
tons.

Ascension in Spirited
Basketball Game.
fContributed.> J

Those who are interested in the
athletics of the various schools +his
parish will be glad to learn til IS
cension has won another
through the earnest efforts of the
Gonzales boys. On Sunday, Nov. 81,
a splendid game of basketball was
played on the Gonzales campus be-
tween the Reserve and Gonzales
teams. There were many spectators,
the best representation being from
Dutchtown, Gonzales staunch friends
and rivals on the athletic field.
The boys from Reserve came in on
the morning train and were enter
tanned by the Gonzales boys. At 2:30
p. m. both teams stepped upon the
campus. the visitors with confidence
in full sway, the Gonzales boys with
grim determination to lower the
colors of the team that had never
known defeat in basketball.
The first half of the game was
played and it seemed as though the
Reserve boys would win another
laurel, for the score was 8 to 2 in
their favoA
But they had no idea Of the latent
energy that would be exhibited in
the last half by their opponents.
However, the spectators seemed to
know, for they cheered the home boys
until they outplayed the visitors at
every point, and when time was call
ed it was found that the gallant Con-
zales five had emerged victorious
from the fray by the score of Is to

Mccall's Famous Durocs Win Champ
ionship For Pelican State.

The victories of Mccall, Geren and
Bolds at the Shreveport state fair
over entries from Texas, Tennessee.
Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky and
other states was perhaps the most
striking s'hog triumph" ever ex-
perienced in the stock raising history
of Louisiana. Evan J.. Mccall. with
his wonderful Duroc-Jersey herd,
headed by the grand champion De
fender, and Geren with his remark
able Poland Chinas, walked away with
the blue ribbons.
The foundation stock of the Mccall
herd was bought less than two years
ago from the McKees at Versailles,
KY, who, up to the jackson Miss
fair had defeated all comers. Meet
ing for the first time the men from
whom he bought, Mccall took the
blue ribbon away from the recognized
leaders and transferred the head
quarters Of the championship Duroc
herd from Kentucky to Louisiana
for the first time in the history of the
south. In other words, with the very
stock sold to him by Mckee, and the
get of this stock, Mccall beats his
former masters. This places Louisi-
ana at the top rank of Duroc-Jersey
hog breeding and is q remarkable
demonstration of what science and un-
remitting industry may do in short
time.
The Mccall victory will have a
marked effect upon stock raising in
Louisiana, especially as some of this
championship strain will be put up at
the big Mccall sale on January 5.
The sale viii be under an inclosed
barn and buyers from all over the adj
iaeent south have signified their in
tention to be present and secure
blooded stock to head and improve
their herds. There will be genuine

gar plantation has been converted

to-date stock farms in the entire

cally bred, fed and raised with as
results. The Mccall farm
is today one of the unique institu-s
tions of the state, combining as
does the old ante-bellum type

Woman Court.

California has court composed
entirely of women. This is probably
the first Of its kind in the United
States. The cases which tins court
will consider will be those affecting
children. The Judge, the clerk, the
bailiff and the reporter are all women.
It seems SO very reasonable that the
misdemeanors of children should ne
the special province of a Woman's
court. It is generally recognized
that Children are the natural care of
women, and an over-fathered court
is worse possibly than an over
fathered home

Another Good Word For Fair.

various exhibits of the South Louisi-
ana Fair, which closed its third an

exceptions, every department took
part in testifying to the fact that
Donaldsonville, the DonaldsonyilIe

ern portion Of the state, has made
rapid strides in firmly planting the
idea and policy of farm diversified

CAN'T KEEP COOKS.
Even Uncle Sam Has His Troubles
with Geniuses Of the Kitchen.

Uncle Sam, rich and powerful,
good to his s.help,' and the surest
pay in the world, can't keep his
cooks any longer or better than the
ordinary Jersey eommuter. He of
fers them good pay, easy hours, and
lots of nights out, but they simply
will not overlook the fact that they
are cooks. bred and born, and SO keep
moving on.
United States Marine Corps statis-
ties covering the last two years show
a greater percentage of men deserted
who gave occupation prior to entry
as cooks" than any other class that
enlisted during the period.
Desertions from the Marine Corps
are very light at all times; the aver
age marine considers that the service
offers better advantages than any
thing he could find in civil life, and
he believes the opportunities for
travel and adventure to be unexcelled,
and, were it not for the cooks, Ma
rine Corps officials believe that the
oldest branch of the service" would
have an almost clean slate with re-
gard to desertions. No class Of men
look SO lightly on the oath Of obliga-
ton as these self-same knights of
the frying pan, Marine Corps re-
cruiters declare.

Parcels may bear the words Mot

with early shipment, insures the time
illness of Christmas gifts, whereas
the practice of mailing packages late
in the hope that they will reach their
destination on Christmas day Is like

unavoidable delay due to the conges-

This is a campaign of prepared
ness in which our readers are
urged to assist.
In this connection attention is call
ed to the fact that parcel post matter

amount equivalent to its actual cash
value, not to exceed 500, upon pay
ment Of the following graduated fees:
Value up to SIS, fee 3 cents; value

just the Right Present.

Don't take chances in the matter
of Christmas presents. You don II
want yours, like so many others, to
be received with indifference or
worse, and ten days after Christmas
to be cast aside and forgotten.
You take no such chance in giving
the Youths Companion for a year.
Did you ever know of home in
which it came amiss, or of one in
which it was not conspicuous on the
library table or in some ones hands
all through the year,
It is worth while to make a gift
of that sort, and it is worth while to
receive it, too, for the Companion IL
lustrates the bests traits in American
life in its stories and sketches, up
holds the best standards in it's articles
and other contributions, and combines
the practical and informing with the
entertaining and blood-stirring.
If you do not know the Companion
as it is today, let US send you one or
two current issues free, that you may
thoroughly test the papers quality.
We will send also the Forecast for
