MANY APPLICATIONS
FOR THE NEW OFFICE
Roads Are In Best Shape
In History OF Parish.

AT a recent meeting of the Polio,
Jury it was decided by that bod,
to employ the services of a road
supervisor to have charge of the road
OF the parish. At the meeting Tues
gay the Jury found itself delueed
WIN applications for the position
Owing to the pressure of other bust
ness, action was postponed to the
next regular meeting which will be
held on the first Tuesday in Febru-
ary' Under this new plan it is
thought that Washington Parish |
will get more in the way of roads
for their money. The roads of our
parish are now in better shape than
Defor ever and with the pionee
work already done there should be,

MONTEZUMA TALES
NOD

! ~. McGee BuTdge, Golden City, Mo.
Montezuma was one of those small
inland towns of Ohio, that in my boy
hood days had never had its peace
and quiet disturbed by the whistle of
a locomotive The occasional fatal
accident to someone in or near the
village gave a common topic for con
versatiOn for several weeks.
The location of the place was ideal
for the happening of fatalities more
often than most places of its size
situated on Beaver Creek near it's
confluence with the great Reservoir,
which in those days was the largest
artificially formed body of water in
the United States, covering 1880
acres Of land. The people fshed and
hunted a great deal, nearly every
family having their own canoe or fiat
boat which they used in going after
fish or water fowl. 1t so happened
that one Sunday morning as I went
to town, that before | reached the
church word came that one of Monte
Zuma's citizens had shot himself over
on the south west shore of the big
pond (big pond was the name COM
monty used in speaking of the reser-
voir by those living near IT'D With
several other boys | started on the
run to the point indicated, which was
about three miles distant. The |
ghastly sight, with the fatigue from
the long run put my heart in an un-
even lutter or palpitatiOn, and came |
very near adding another victim to

sick as | saw what was left of the |

with neighbor in a isherman's boat
and had been set ashore TO watch for
wild ducks while his friend went out
TO deep water to examine some set
nets. In setting down his gun he
struck the hammer against the log
ne sat on causing it's discharge The
nuzzle Of the gun was so close to
lim that his clothing was set on fire,
md the load struck him under the
hin, tearing out most of his teeth,
me side of his nose, a cheek and an
'ye, and the flesh of the rest of his
ace was thrown back over the top
If his head.

THIS AND OTHER SPRINGS

ID. II. Wolfe, in Rockford Pressl
While this has been a lovely spring
there have been others that were not
so nice. We have at thi' writing
very warm weather, such as seldom
seen at this time of the year. It has
come about by low pressure in Mexi-
co, Indian Territory and Oklahoma,
following five days rain in those
Southern States. But we may ex-
pect some cooler weather before sum-
mer is here.
There is no better way to know
that spring is here than the appear
ance of the fruit bloom. In 1896 the
fruit bloom made its first appearance
April 25th; in 1897 on April 25; in
1898 on April 16; in 1899 on April
20; in 1901 on April 25; in 1903 on
April 8; in 1904 on April 30; in 1905
on April IA; in 1907 on March 20; in
1903 on April 20; in 1909 on April
2S; in 1910 on March 2S; in 1911 on
April 20; in 1912 on April 20; in
1913 on April 20; in 1914 on April
27, and in 1915 on April 90
We had four inches of snow on
April 18, 1900; three inches of snow
on April 81, 1901; little snow on
April II, 1905; light snow on APP
ril 1S, 1910; six inches of snow on
April 2, 1912. I completed sowing
oats on April q, 1913, while in 1914
on April 20. This year we were
generally through on April l.

RUSSIANS IMPROVE
In Every Way Since Alcohol Has
Been BanIshed by Govern
ment Edict.

Petrograd, May 4,-If vote Of
the Russian people were taken today
on the subject of re-establishing the
traffic in vodka, 1t is doubtful If the
drink demon would poll 20 per cent
Russia, from one of the most
drunken, has become the most sober
country in the world,
Rich are In the same boat with the
poor Not only vodka shops are
closed, but beer, Wine and other alco-
holic drinks are prohibited in clubs
and fine restaurants.
An investigation a few years ago
by the Imperial Technical Society
showed that among workmen in fac
tories, 80 per cent took alcohol reg
Iularly
Today the only drinking left is ase-
cret consumption of eau-de-cologne,
or even a kind of yarnish, by a few
whom drink has enslayed
As for the masses, both life in town
and country has altogether changed,
Provinces 1000 miles apart tell the
same story Where formerly quar-
rels, fights, and even serious crimes
were common on every holiday, now
there is good will and order.
Workmen in the towns, also peas
ants, are saving money, dressing bet
ter and are altogether better Off, not
withstanding the fact that taxes are
heavier this year than ever before,
A short time ago, number Of
"zemstvos," or county councils made
an exhaustive inquiry amongst peas
ants as to the results on the villages
of the prohibition of alcohol The
peasants were asked to say whether
they thought the prohibition ought
to be discontinued after the war, or
that things should remain always as
they are at present.
The answer in nearly all cases was
that once the vodka shop was open
they would be too weak too keep
away from it, though they fully real
ize it was practically poison to them
as well as tending to pauperize them
and their families.
we swore at vodka" writes one,
but We still went on drinking it
from sheer habit and because it
seemed simply impossible to leave
Off"
Almost all of the recent popular
songs deal with the subject of the
blessing brought to the population by
the prohibition of vodka. M. Vanlu-
koff has published recently in Novoie
Vremia thirty-three popular songs,
being sung in the villages of the |
Pskon. Eighteen of these chant the |
praises of the new law as to vodka, |
and the blessing it has brought, espe-
cially to the women and the homes.
But the greatest blessing from the |
prohibition of alcoholic drink is eX-
perienced in the Russian army. |
Army surgeons bear testimony to the
fact that operations are much more
easily performed on soldiers who
have not been able to get drink; they
are more easily brought under the
influence of anesthetic and their
wounds are healed in a much shorter
lime.
