Alexandria. La, Sept. 8, 1915.
Mr.. l.. 0. Clinton. Colfax, La.
Dear Sir:-It has come to nv ears
that you are being criticised in certain
political quarters because of an alleged
mistreatment of prisoners in your
charge. l recall that on one occasion
the grand. jury received complaint
from some party against you for an as
sault on q prisoner, and investigated
the matter and reached the conclusion
that the correction you gave was not
only very necessary, but that you would
have neglected your duty had you not
quieted the disturbance on the part of
the prisoners. | take pleasure in say
ing that l think that you and the sher-
IFS office have been very kind to the
prisoners, and that it is an injustice to
you for. any one to condemn you on the
ground of your treatment of them.
| write this letter beca1se | think
that justice demands that do so, and
because l think you are fairly entitled
to any commentator that / can give
you.
With best wishes, beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
JNO. r. HUNTER,
District Attorney.

Date Set for Verda Fair.

On Monday, Sept. 6, meeting
of citizens from Verda and Har
gis communities was held in the
new high school building at Yer
da, to discuss ways and means
and set the date for the ward
fair, which has been held for the
past three years at Hargis. D.
ii. Wallace was chosen president
OF the fair association; ]. W..
Bryant, vice president; E. H.
Stelzig, secretary; A. L. Allen,
assistant secretary; ]. F. Fetch
er, treasurer.
1t was decided to hold the fair
on Friday and Saturday, October
8 and 9, at Verda. 1t was ruled
that all exhibits of livestock and
farm products must be on the
grounds during both days of the
fair for the inspection of visitors.
but that farm products and home
exhibits would be judged on Fri
day, Oct. 8, and livestock will be
judged on Saturday, Oct. 9.
Demonstration Agent Benton

stated that the exhibits of the
junior club members will be held
at this fair. Ten-ear samples of
corn grown by corn club men,
bers must be shown together
with the official report of the
crop. Pig club members will |
show their pig there, and tomato
and poultry club members will
make exhibits of their products.
together with a record in each
case, and the parish prizes will
be awarded at the fair.
Every indication is that this
will be a fair well worth attend
ing. Energetic and progressive
men are in charge of it, and their
aim is to make it both education
Al and entertaining to all who
come. 1t is called a ward fair,
but the association invites all
farmers from this and other
leighboring parishes to bring ex-
libits of farm products or live
stock, and everybody is invited
o come to the fair for a good
ime, and to see good farm crops
md good livestock. A premium
list will be announced later.

Dear Brother john
The move is now on
For folks, one and all, to 90 crazy:
Take stock in Nantachi s the best
thing to do
With men at the head like Williams

Every movable thing possess but my

To raise twenty-five, the price of

For you'll give me another one, so you
declare.
And, my! won't we splurge, and cut
fine dash
When Oil and Gas gushing, will turn
out the cash.
Oh, think of the joke, when all our
rich kin
Who didn't have nerve to plunge and
jump in,
Will be poor beside US, like all of the
mass
Who wouldn't take stock in your Oil
and your Gas!
So with cash for share, and thanks
for one more,
And love and good wishes, am as of

Sell that old que of Chink-with theI
proceeds invest
In more shares of Nantachi- and NAV
the Lord have the praise
For an oil that will Intricate and ga.
that will blaze.
There is wealth on Nantachi now
waiting the drill,
And your subscription all goes in
footing the bill
And think of that gusher when sky
ward it spouts,
And the Rockfellow fortune-just
bunch of punchouts.
Then what of your sacrifice of your
excelsior or wig?
Think of poor Bobby Burns after
crossing the brig,
False hair was then costly and Bobby
was poor,
But you with big dividends can buy
yourself more.

A Campaign Lie Refuted.
To Whom 1T Mag Concern:

10 Whom III May Concern.
The accusation circulated against l.,
Y. Clinton by some of his political enc.
mics. relative to his being abusive to
the prisoners. was a scheme gotten up
during October, 1913, at which time |
was member of the grand Jury. and
the matter was brought before US in a
manner to criticise and not to prosecute.
The parties who were trying to agi-
tate this proposition made the remark
that 1T was good time to give Gin
ton good political airing" and when
We asked that some witnesses be sum-
moned to investigate the matter, they
absolutely refused to give US 1.-THE grand
Jury) single name to substantiate any
information leading up to such report.
The grand jury made an effort, with
the aid of the district attorney, to ia
miliarize themselves with facts in the
case, and found the whole proposition
to be a concoction on the part of the
political enemies of the sheriff's office
to do them political harm, and was new
er intended as prosecution in any
manner. Respectfully,

What the New Department of Home
Economics is Expected to
Accomplish.

What the New Department of HON
Economics is Expected to
Accomplish.
Any new departure from tn
: old routine. any innovation, how
ever much the exigency of tn
times may demand it, is sure t,
elicit more or less criticism. A
much harm may come from tn,
too enthusiastic advocates of tn,
new department, by their ex
pecting too much of it, as from
its hostile critics who look upor
it as a kind of "fandango." Il
is for this reason that the follow
ing outline is here presented.
The courses in home economics
as found in our State schools are
not resultants of accident but OF
evolution, the purpose of which
is to bring the public schools into
closer and more vital touch with
the conditions of our present day
civilization, and to meet more
fully the demands of this civil
cation.
The home economics course is
intended to fit our girls for the
life that nature and our present
day civilization demands of them:
to make them Intellectually, soci-
ally, morally, and industrially eff
ficient. Formerly a girl was
taught in the home to cook, to
sew, to spin, to weave and make
garments, but modern life with
its many complexities has made
this impossible, so the school
must provide this training.
The State Bulletin has the fol-
lowing to say of the practical
value of home economics:
l. The subject of domestic
science includes those things with
which a woman must necessarily
deal every day of her life.
2. The child through proper
instruction and illustration of |
right ideals adopts a proper stand
ard of home life.
3. Habits of accuracy, obser-
1ation, reflection, application of
science to real life. careful move
nent, order, neatness and clean
mess are results of daily practice.
a. A young girls interest in
home duties is retained and in
,ensifed by finding out the rea-
on for doing this and that.
D. With a knowledge of the
principles of ventilation, heating,
lighting, plumbing, cleaning, and
lisinfecting; of the food require
nents of different people and
low to supply them, the woman
n the home is enabled IN kean
Ter family well nourished and
comparatively free from disease.
6. A knowledge of the COM
osition and digestion of foods
makes it possible to prevent d.
'estive disorders.
z. With a knowledge of food
Materials substitution of one
hing for another may be made, ]
0 as to wisely meet an emer-
ency or save money.
3. Ability to plan profitably =
ne division of income and keep
counts that are of value for I
eference may save the family
rom living beyond their in
ome with consequent unhappi- v
ess.
s. The ability to draft pat {
ems, make and mend articles of y
othing may add more to ones
appiness and prosperity than '
ny other school study. v
10. A mistress and maid who
ave solved the same problems S
home economics are mutually
elpful. a
II. A girl has a right to an 7,
iucation as precisely adapted to O
oman's work as is a boys pre-
lratOry to a mans work.

Cadillac Comes Back With Hot Retort
BY PRANK G. MENKE

out two bits for a bed when you can
sleep in a depot for nothing?
Further investigation on our part
disclosed the fact that all the time he
was in this city Johnson never spent
as much as five cents. Ad Wolsast
paid all his bills. provided all the
treats. kept him i'm his home and kept
him plentifully supplied with cigars
and ~cigarets."
Cadillac Population 1870
Jurymcn, you must also consider the
facts presented by the defendants.
These facts tend to show that the
population of the said city of Cadillac
is not five as Johnson stated, but is
1878, as shown by the 1910 census.
Undoubtedly the town has grown since
then. I
Furthermore the town, according to
the hotel directory, has at least one
hotel. 1t operates on the American
plan. Its rates are $3.50 to $500. the
sliding scale indicating that not only
can one get a room and bed there, but a
private bath as well. Such a cOndi-
ton speaks highly for any hotel In
v~estigation seems to convince this
court that the hotel does not close It's
doors at 1880 p. m, as is charged in
JohnsOn's evidence, but that the doors
remain open for a considerable period
thereafter.
Now, iurymen. beat it to your room
and decide among yourselves whether
Cadillac is all that Johnson says it is
or whether Johnson is a "Cheap-JOhn"
as Cadillac charges.
