NICE GIRLS TREATED @ TT BOYS UNEkINDLY
Dear Miss Libbey

Dear Miss Libbey.-
 Y Kindly advise Bridgeport boys. At a party last winter we met two girls I knew one I was wfthj met yher at party previously before her chum and mine were with each other Wheles evening we intended to go home with them. A girl told chum's girl friend something as she passed out with him. So he thought she did not care to go home with him. wrote. asking the girl if she was displeased. She did not answer. Did L do right? My chum doesn't recollect her name If we suoke to them would they speak to usq Or should they speak first We do not want their displeasure. They are nice girls.
 Nice girls, no doubt they are. It is always the golden rule to do unto oth- CTS as you would be done by. IL is all ways polite to treat those one meets kindly. To say '.No, thank you,' if not caring to be escorted Many boys have similar troubles, which pass away in good time. It was well to write. IIsua1lv a girl bows. first, then boy bows and speaks. Look pleasant, if you meet.

Crowds Turn Out in Holland To Cheer Wounded Sol

Flushing, The Netherlands, Sept. f4--Although Dutch farmers in the fertile province of ZeeIand have wit messed the sight regularly twice d month for the past year. the move rr1enta Of the long Red Cross trains that pass through the province from the fighting areas is always an event which calls throngs of country peo- pie in their picturesque costumes to all the small stations and crossways to see the trains pass
 It is no longer mere curiosity, however, which brings them there. They have learned that their pres ence serves to cheer the wounded soldiers and they have come to con- -sider it their duty to. turn out to greet the sufferers. Men on whom the science of surgery or medicine have little effect lind that the crude but genuine sympathy extended them bv the Dutch farmers has remark able healing properties.

the JEFFERSON HIGHWAY.

No question in modern times
has interested the people of the ma
ton more than good roads. In every
community, rural and urban, the
question of good roads is being dis
cussed and taxes voted and bonds
issued to aid in their construction.
The latest position to be advanced
on the subject Of good roads is what
is known as the Jefferson Highway.
to be constructed from Winnipeg,
Canada. to New Orleans. and the
Chamber of Commerce of the latter
city is to hold a meeting on Novem-
Der 18th and 18th to organize the
Jefferson Highway Association.
1t is useless to try to tell our peo-
pie what great advantage it would
be to this section if we could secure
the passage Of the proposed highway
through the river parishes. and we
suggest that the Police Jury call a
mass meeting of the people of Ten
sas to discuss the matter and that
the President of the Fifth District
Levee Board. also call a meeting for
the same purpose and that delegates
be sent to the proposed meeting in
New Orleans.
Even If we are unable to secure
this great highway for our immedi-
ate section, we should do all in our
power to secure the building of such
a thoroughfare through our State,
as we know Of nothing that would
benefit the whole State as much as
to have q great highway connecting
the North with the South pass thru
its entire length. We hope the va
rious parishes will take the matter
up and that the New Orleans meet
ing will be such as to evidence the
interest that all of the people are
taking in such a great and import
ant undertaking.
Since writing the above, the Pc.
lice Jury has been in special session,
at which the matter was taken up
and discussed and by a unanimous
vote that body selected Messrs. G.
H. Clinton and s. w. Martien to
the Parish of Tensas at the
New Orleans meeting. The Town
Council of St. Joseph will appoint
one delegate to represent the town,
and it is to be hoped that the Coun-
ellis of both Newellton and Water
proof will take similar action.

1t has come to my attention that some
of the teachers disregard decimals in ar

that the statistics may be uniform, wish
to ask that you instruct your teachers to
use decimals to two places in arriving at
the average attendance. To illustrate: (l)
8 children attended school 80 days-the
average attendance was rs. (2) child
rem attended l24 days-the average at
