PLAN TO
RECEIVE GOOD VOTE
Many Who Opposed Consti-
tutional Convention Now
Favorir.g 1t

Sentiments in this parish arr
rapidly turning towards tht
constitutional convention anc
opposition, which was at first
thought serious, will not cause
those who are in favor of the
proposition any trouble.
Many people, as well as pol
iticans, claimed, at first, that
st. Landry would register
against the holding of 4 con-
stitutional convention in Sep
ember, on account Of the cry,
of calamity howlers, that the
small land owners and farmers
would be forced to pay add.
tional taxes, In order to bring
the state out Of bankruptcy.
It has now developed that
the small land owners. who
pay heavy taxes, will not be
tempered with BY the conven-
ton, but on the contrary, that
the service corporations will
be made to pay their just pro-
portion of the state tax.
One Of the most prominent
politicians in st. Landry, who
ct the outset was emphatieally
opposed to the convention, has
been converted and claims
that the people of st Landry
should vote in favor of the con-
ventlon, on the grounds that
the insane asylums and school
institutions are direly III need
Of more money, The conven-
lion will aid these people-not
at the expense Of the taxpay-
ers, but at the expense Of the
tax-dodgers.

How Can | Keep Eggs?

MY mother used to keeI

grandmother kept her eggs ii
bran a long time. Why do
mine not keep that way? Is
it the fault Of the eggs or the
bran?"
Don't bother losing eggs by
trying all kinds of expert
ments. The government has
done that for you. It has tried
oats, bran, salt, brine, salicylic
acid, glycerine, paraffin, boil
ing water, alum, col1odin, shell
lac, wood ahses, boric acid,
permanganate of potash, vase
line. lime water, water glass,
ETC., in various solutions and
combinations. The three last
were found to be the best. My
personal experience has been
that lime water gives a pecu-
liar taste to the eggs, vaseline
is a nuisance, while water
glass has been entirely salts

fresh, fertile eggs IN it,

The Friend Is Right-"Nc
Ticks No Tick Fever"

The Friend Is Right-"No
Ticks No Tick Fever"
An Alabama reader writes
as follows: "My friend says
every COW that has tick fever
must get the fever from the
bite of the tick. Icontend that
a cow turned in a pasture
where cows are dying from
, tick fever is likely to catch the
fever from infected cows with
out being bitten by ticks"
There is abundant evidence
TO prove that the friend is
right. Under natural condi-
tons the ticks must get on an
animal and introduce the dis
ease-producing organisms, by
biting or Fastening themselves
to that animal. Of course the
disease can be produced in a
susceptible animal by artifci-
ally inoculating such an ami
NAL with the blood of an In
fected COW; but this does not
occur naturally and, therefore,
in practice, the statement, mo
ticks no fever holds absolutely
true. No matter how long or
closely a susceptible cow may
associate with a diseased one,
unless ticks get on the suscep-
tible and bite her there will be
no transmission of the disease.
The germ, in nature is only
introduced into the system of
the susceptible cow through
the bite of one kind of tick.
This is SO well established and
so generally known, that it is
no longer necessary to cite the
abundance of proof available.

School Farm Idea Should Be

We wish that the teachers

every school in the South
would consider the school
farm idea. We are convinced
that in thousands and thou
sands Of schools such a sehon'
farm could be established to
the great benefit Of the com
munity. The school farm
which is usually about four
acres in size--has three adj

8. Last, but not least, the
school quickens and develops
the community spirit. The pa
irons who come together to
do the work get a new idea OF
their oneness and develop an
increased comradeship and
neighborliness.
1t is now too late to do
much with the school farm
idea this year and we only re-
greet that we neglected to en-
phasize the matter earlier in
the season. Next year We
hope to begin advocating the
plan in ample time to get it
started in many new comnlu-
mites. The United States

Fiehtine Incendiary Bombs

London, June 26.--(Special)--A descrlp- tion of incendiary bombs and how to deal with them has been prepared by the Brit ish dire prevention committee, It has been printed as a pacard for posting in public institutions or private houses alongside instructions for using fire ex- tinguishers. A sketch shows what an in- cendiary bomb 1us,ks like. and diagram shows its exact construction and what is inside it. The usual fire bomb dropped bv Zeppelin is conical in shape. the diameter at the base being about 10 inches. It is wrapped round with inflammable cord, which gives it rather a nautical appearance. enhanced by a handle at the apex for lowering 1t over the gunwale of the airship--lf airships have gunwales.
 The base is flat cap, and from this to the handle runs hollow metal funnel forming the center and business part of the bomb. This central funnel Is filled with thermite. Therrnite is the prepara- tion which on igniation produces heat so intense as to melt steel.
 The ignition of thermite creates tre- mendous glare of light. and the heat melts the metal funnel. :. The molten metal spreads when the bomb strikes.l It sets up at once fierce fire if 1t strikes any thing combustible. but at the beginning 1t is only a small fire, and if 1t Is tackled at once with water. it can be put out be- fore it does much danger

 - WORDSWORTH opened the 0 Redwood Field campaign yes terday afternoon with particularly sharp offensive, which indicates in all probability a successful stay in the series of battles that will be staged beyond the shallow waters of Village creek.
 Molesworth for the first time in weeks is rather optimistic of the gen. eral outlook. His players are fielding in great shape and hitting the bali hard-even if the pellet by unfortu- nate chance Is driven straight at an opposing ulayer-and the morale of the team is of the best.
 According to the latest adyices Ed son Hemingway will not return to the game for three weeks and therefore Bill Lindsay has been signed to serve as utility in the interval. However, as is well known, Moley will never break up winning combination, which indicates that Lindsay will dec- crate the bench until losing streak strikes the Barons.

 However in the fourth the Crackers managed to score their lone run when Blackie displayed a desire to aviate, but his luck wouldn't let him.
