A plan which it is believed will

proposed locks across Bayou La
foufche at Donaldsonville, was devised
mere at a conference attended by Gov.
halI' Z {. Himel of the Lafourche le.
wee board, and " NJ. Lefevre, presi.

board
1t was agreed to ask the federal gov
eminent to appropriate $250,0O0 for
the locks, the Lafourche board S125,-
ooO and the AtChafalaya board. SIPS.
ooO. This would make up the half
million dollars, the estimated cost Of
the locks. 1t also was decided that
me government should be asked to re-
heVe the Lafourche board of the bur.
den of maintaining nayigable chan
mel in the bayou, which cost 100000
per year.
Both Mr.. Himel and Mr.. Iafevre
stated their boards would not heed the

locks unless they could get aid from

DIDN'T RAISE" THE CHICKENS
But Evidently Dealer Hadn't Quite
Comprehended Question Asked
by His Customer.

Here is a little story that was told
by Congressman William c. Adamson
of Georgia when the conversation
turned to natural misunderstanding
A young housewife who lives in a
suburban town went to the village
store to make some purchases.
These chickens look very nice" re-
marked the customer, pausing before
the poultry counter How much are
they?"
One dollar apiece, madam" was the
prompt response of the obliging pro-
prietor. You can't find better poul-
try for the money in the whole Coun-
try"
One dollar" thoughtfully unused
the customer, and then added; Did
you raise them"
"Oh, no, madam" was the hasty
assurance of the misunderstanding
storekeeper. That is the same price

BE POLITE TO THE CHILDREN
Parents Should Teach Courtesy by
Setting Example, Is Opinion of
Woman Writer.

The bad manners OF American chill
dren are notorious, Obviously, it is
not the children who can be held to
account for this. Certainly the re-
sponsibility must rest with the Ameri-
can parent.
Our children are bad hammered
mainly because we in authority over
them set them such striking examples
of bad manners.
Yet, we are not as a people ill-man-
nered. Strangers visiting our land
have borne witness repeatedly to cour-
tesy received and kindness observed.
We are thought to be rather genial,
frank people; the very vastness Of
our country lending us, it is supposed,
certain generosity and self-reliance
and the democracy Of its form of
government giving every man that
sense of self-respect which is one Of
the foundations Of good manners.
1t cannot then be understanding
very generally, Of course-that we are
wont to behave ourselves with dis
courtesy toward others. 50 it is not
usually from his observation of our
treatment of others that the child has
his lessons in bad manners; he has
them, rather, from a source more like
ly to impress him; he has them from
the bad manners we practice toward
him.
To others he sees us kind and very
courteous, with a special courtesy.
He notices that we are markedly pO-
lite to visitors, nOticeably consider
ate of guests or casual strangers. His
mind, making its logical deductions,
reasons that manners and Courtesies
are things to be put on and Off to be
assumed at need, or neglected at will
and since it is others who reap the
/ benefit of them, and not himself, he
acquires, logically enough, distaste
for them, and looks upon them as af
fectatiOn more or less, and insin.
cerity. To discard or scorn them
himself is, then, a kind Of virtue in
his eyes; and to have nothing to dc
with them is warrant of his own
downrightness. This, more often than
not, is the real basis of bad manners
in our children. If the child were
spoken to with the same gent1eness
and courtesy with which he finds us
speaking to strangers and visitors
he would like good manners without
doubt, and would initiate them. L
the home were as we'll ordered anG
as courteously conducted for it's in
mates as it is on those occasions wher
guests are present, we would have
no problem of Tommy's or Jenny't
bad manners to wrestle with.-Laurs

Hardly COMPLIMENTARY.

A New England housewife one after.
noon received call from a hobo to
whom that morning she had given
some doughnuts.
The knight of the road dotted his
ragged headpiece and with great civil
ity addressed her thus:
Madam, this morning you gave me
three doughnuts. Would it be asking
too much to request a fourth"
I'll be glad to give you another"
said the woman, as she prepared to
wrap one in newspaper. $50 you
like my doughnuts, do you?"
1T isn't that, madam" explained the
hobo. "You see, some friends of mine
down in the meadow wish to have a
game Of quoits." r.

No Cause for Alarm.

A young preacher who was staying
at a clergy house was in the habit Of
retiring to his room for an hour or
more each day to practice pulpit ora
tory. At such times he filled the house
with sounds Of fervor and pathos and
emptied it of almost everything else.
A Well-known bishop happened to be
visiting friend In this house one day
when the budding orator was holding
forth,
Gracious me-" exclaimed the
bishop, starting up in assumed terror,
pray what might that be?"
"Sit down, bishop" his friend re-
piled. That's only young D prac-
ticing what he breaches"

Where It Was Appropriate,

Lord Kitchener, it is said, is very
pleased with the result of the present
temperance move.
we are all temperate now," said
his lordship recently.
ITO get drunk is an unheard-of thing
among gentlemen If a gentleman
ever gets drunk nowadays he has, you
may be sure, a remarkable excuse to
offer" To illustrate his point Lord
Kitchener told this story:
A major, after fancy dress ball at
Simla, came home drunk and his
shocked wife said to him:
Aren't you ashamed to return from
the ball in that condition."
Don't blame me, my DEAR" said the
major; you must remember that the
character l assumed was that of a
sponge"

dition; when the little ones come it's
multiplication; when dissension looms
