DOMESTIC SCIENCE IN THE
HIGH SCHOOL

SuDt. w. P. Annette was in Welsh
one day last week in the interest OF a
domestic science department III cOnnec'
ton with the high school here. The
ladies Of the Civic League have been
behind the mOVemant for sometime
and Principal AyleSWOrth has been at
work developing sentiment sufficient
to secure its establishment.
A domestic science department would
no doubt prove a very valuable addi'
ton to the school. 1t would probably
be necessary to build a two or three
room annex to the high school building
and after the equipment is furnished
we understand that the parish and
State will provide funds for a demon.
strator and other necessary expense
for maintenance.
Many schools Of not only Louisiana
but of other states make this work
very prominent in their courses Of
study.
1t is expected that all the arrange.
mentS will be completed to have this
department in operation by the begin.
ming Of the next term.

PARCEL POST BUSINESS

We have had a good deal to say upon
the Importance OF standing by our
home enterprises. There is no doubt
but that the Parcel Post business has
worked positive injury to the local
business man and ultimately works
harmful consequences to the consumer.
The growth of the mail order bust.
ness is such as to become a very serious
matter for each community. The pat
ronage accorded these foreign concerns
is not because the home merchant can
not supply these identical goods and
often at lower price but the big mail
order houses have literally flooded the
country with advertising matter max.
ing snowy catalogues and featuring
the advantages of the Parcel Post etc.
Thousands of people are caught by
these methods and work a positive in.
jury to the home merchant and often
times to themselves by thus doing.
We owe it TO our home enterprises
to give to them our support. When we
need favors we go to them and usually
find them ready to help and when it
comes to buying goods we ought to
give them our trade.
Perhaps some fault lies with the
home merchant in many cases. Often
TIMES ne does not advertise his goods
and does not put the necessary energy
behind his business to attract the trade
The local business man should do his
part TO bring his business to the notice
of the community.
We would like to see our people stand
closer together in this proposition.

Something is wrong in our market
ing system when a small crop brings
more money than bountiful one.
Cooperation between practical farm
erS and proficient business men will
eleminate ignorance and prejudice.
The highest duty of state and Federal
Governments is to place agricultural
education within the reach of all,
The farmer cannot be helped until he
organizes, and the Government can best
help the farmer through organization.
BY cooperating with his nelghbor
the farmer can learn new methods Of
culture and the interchange Of ideas

GOOD ROADS FOR THE PARISH

The proposition Ola bond issue for

ave believe the sentiment 3of the ma.
Jority Of the people Of the parish will
heartily endorse the idea
There are some however we under

question shonld be Sett ed first. They
argue that it will be impossible to con.
struCt an adequate system OF public

.
a proper system OF drainage.
EAsawe understand the proposition
however the idea embraces a sufficient
drainage system to insure permanent
roads. The, plan Of the highways will
include the grading of the roads and
building them up with wide side bitches

ly the,tax rate but the argument is not
sound when considered in its broader
sense. One may take the tax rate of
the parish and figure up the extra cost
for good roads TO the average farmer
and you will find, we believe, that he
would save the amount in a single
weeks hauling over good roads.
The question vitality concerns those
who are interested in the development
of the parish and we hope ito see the
question submitted tOthe people iof the

To Our DepOsitOrs

On January 2S, 1915, the Treasury De-
partment of the United States, through
the Comptroller Of the Currency; issued
instructions to the Board of Directors Of
all National Banks requiring the adoption
of the following reSo
"No officer or employee of this Bank
shall pay or charge to the account of any
depoSitor any check of such depositor
Ohen there not sufficient funds on
deposit to the credit of the drawer of the
check to meet the same"
The State of Louisiana has passed a
law known as Act No, 2O9 whereby de-
positor in a Bank over-drawng his ac-
count under certain conditions may be
penalized in the sum of 81, 900 10.
AS the Federal Government and the
State of Louisiana have deemed it neceS-
sary to take such action regarding over
drafts, the allowance of same is no longer
optional with the Banks; and we ask that
our depoSltOrS use every precauton to
avoid issuing checks on which payment
must be refused.

DECIDED AGAINST YOUNG

District Judge T. F. Bell decided
that the term Of w. l.. Young, state
bank examiner, expired in December,
1914, but that Gov Hall is without le-
gal authority to fill a vacancy except
IN the case Of death, resignation or re.
mOVal, during a legislative recess.
Young holds over, therefore under
this decision, if Judge Bell is sustain.
ed by the Supreme Court, until his
successor is properly appointed and
qualified.
The opinion OF Judge Bell was rem.
dered in the custer suit brought by the
district attorney and attorney general
on Instructions from Gov. Hall, R. N.
SIMS, with whom the governor sought
to displace Young, was also repre-
Selted by counsel in the suit.
Judge Bell exhaustively reviewed
the authorities in passing on the case,
He stated that he was aware that his
judgment as to the inability OF the
governor to appoint during legislative
recess would upset executive usage in
THIS state, but he nevertheless felt that
the organic law plainly denied this
right to the governor. His decision
on this point was based on constitu-
tional provisions of 1852, and 1879,
and the interpretations of these pro
visions by the Supreme Court. The
court found it strange in view Of the
custom which has long existed in the
governors Office OF appointing during
recesses of the Senate successors to
pnDlc officers whose terms have ex-
pred, the constitution makers of 1898
and 1913 did not change the organic
law In this respect.

SOUTHWESTERN REFLECTIONS.

1t is high time to be thinking about
seeds again. In every worthwhile

by starting out right. So, in farming

success are, proper preparation OF the
soil and good, sound WelI.SeleCted seed

ant object OF attention is the seed. The
great Teacher OF Gallllee laid down an
eternal principle when he announced
the maxim, "a corrupt tree cannot
bring forth good fruit" Likewise, we
cannot expect crops from seed taken at
random and without regard to sound.
ness or trueneSS to type.
Every year the farmers Of Southwest
Louisiana are put to much expense and
trouble by reason of the difficulty in Sc.
curing proper stands OF corn and other
crops. Sometimes the difficulty is in
lack OF proper preparation, but more
often the trouble is the failure OF the
seed to terminate because of its IN.
SoundneSs.
This expense and delay are av0idable
and unnecessary The Agricultural
Department Of the Louisiana State Uni.
VerSitY conducts seed testing work
every year and all that the farmer has
to do is to send samples of his seed
there and have them tested free of
cost. Any one Of the parish farm dem.
OnStratatOrS in Southwest Louisiana
will be glad to show the farmer how to
do this, for the process is a very simple
one.
1t is of especial importance that corn.
cotton, lespedeZa and rice seeds should
be tested before planting, and now that
the season for planting is on the South
west Louisiana Development Bureau
would sound note of warning against
the planting of unteSted seed. Last
year number of corn tests were made
at the State Experiment Station and in
many cases as much as fifty percent of
the seeds tested did not terminate.
Many farmers ignored the warning
of the experiment station about I'm.

had to be. planted over two and, in
some leases three times ibefore stands
could be obtained. When one reflects
that there can be no satisfactory yield
unless the stand is good, it is readily
seen how Unnecessary good stand is to
a proper yield.
Therefore, even when the best Sc.
leCted seeds are to be purchased, a
guarantee of SoundneSs should be re.

No other citizen realizes the value of
good roads as does the farmer.
A community can safely be judged by
the kind of highways it maintains.
The greatest chasm between the
producer and the consumer is the mud
hole.
Production must cease when the
transportation costs eat up the profits.
There is something radically wrong
with the farmer who is opposed to
good roads.
Without good roads, there can be no
development that will be permanent
and enduring.
Bad roads keep children away from
school and impair the efficiency of
church work in community.
The elementary principles involved
in improved highways are social and
domestic happiness and business

Christian Gredia Thrown from Motor

Christian Gredig, Il, formerly of this city, died at his home in Uxbridge Monday as the result of injuries he received in motorcycle accident near the Blackstone line Sunday noon. He never recovered consciousness after being thrown from the machine. He suffered concussion of the brain and gradually lost strength from the time paralyZed his right side. His collar bone and two ribs were broken.
 MT. Gredig had lived in UXbridge about 33 years, conducting for many years the first bakeshop started in Ux- bridge, and retiring from active work about 1T years ago. Since that time he has travelled to considerable ex- tent and enjoyed life with his poultry, bees and garden.
 He was born at Chure, Switzerland, May 20, 1S43, and when young man enlisted under Garibaldi to fight for the freedom of Italy. Running away from home to join the uprising, he be- came an outcast from the country when the fight for freedom collapsed. He left Italy hastily to escape the consequences that might follow to those who took part in the uprising, stealing away on a sailing vessel that landed him at a seaport in Asia Minor, from which place he made his way to Jerusalem. For the next few years he was a soldier of fortune, taking part in several small frays in various foreign countries, and coming to America in 1872.
 In New York he was told to go west, where the streets were paved with gold. He took this advice and was bitterly disappointed, being forced to
 get a job with a pick and shovel on
