CITIZEN RECOMMENDS
OUR SCHOOL

1t is interesting to note the prog
ress in practical education in the
Welsh High School during Mr.. Ayles-
worth's administration. Three wears
ago when he took charge of tn eschool
there was practically nothing being
done along these lines. With condi-
tions as to building and equipment
.one less capable and persevering
might have said it could not be done,
but ne got busy, converted one of the
unoccupied class rooms into a manual
training room and he and the boys
made work tables and mechanical
drawing tables which for two years
were used most effectively. With
these imperfect conditions much good
work was done, such as the building
and painting of a coal house,
the making of a splendid sand
table for the primary department,
and the beginning of the outdoor gym
nasium. During these two years the
boys did much repair work on the
school furniture.
| mention these former conditions
so that we may get some idea of what
he had to overcome in this work. We
look with wonder and admiration at
the new Domestic Science and Man
ual Training building, with its splen-
did equipment, and are convinced that
Mr.. Aylesworth is an unusually prac-
tical school man. We doubt whether
any school in the state can claim ad-
wantages along these lines equal to
ours.
There are other lines that reflect
credit upon the school and its admin
istratiOn. This year the community
enjoyed the Edwards Lyceum Course
which was under the management of
] the school and was a success finan-
cially. The Library has been increas-
ed and will be open to community for
the summer. These are only some OF
the things that come to my mind that
4 have recorded and for which think
Mr.. AyleswOrth deserves commenda-
! ton and our hearty cooperation.
am glad to say that the community
as a whole appreciates his services
and he and his wife have our best
wishes for their future success anC
welfare. CITIZEN.

ing officer of the Jennings cavalry
troop of the Louisiana National
Guard, has filed his application with
Governor Ruffin G. Pleasant for the

Andy Notes.-The, leader of the
Welsh Band, announces that the MEM
bers of the band are making arrange
ments for the erection of band stand

The Welsh band has made remark
able progress since its organization,

ton of the proper spirit of municipal
dignity.

AN EXCELLENT CROP
OF IRISH POTATOES

We have to thank DR.. and Mrs. j.
B. Godfrey for mess of as fine Ir-
ish potatoes as we have ever seen,
which have been on exhibition in the
Journal Office window this week,
but will be consumed by the editor
and his family as early as politeness
permits. These potatoes, which are
of the Early Triumph variety, are
large, smooth even of size and very
excellent quality. They are produc-
ed from the third planting from the
seed, grown on the same land, and
are yielding enormously, about forty
bushels having been harvested from
one-eighth of an acre of land. TAX
ing in consideration that two hundred
bushels per acre is considered good
yield in the potato growing sections
of Colorado and the northern states,
something of an idea of the produc-
tiveness of our soil, when intensively
cultivated, can be gained. We do not
wish to convey the impression that
every acre Of land in this section in
its present native state will produce
Irish potatoes in this ratio, but with
the proper cultivation there is no rea-
son why it should not, for the land
on which this crop is grown is no bet
ter originally than that all around
it, but by few years of judicious
crop rotation has been brought to a
high state of productivity, which ev-
cry acre of land in this section is ca
pable of.
Mrs. Godfrey (the DR.. leaves all Of
the credit from this venture to her,
although he takes considerable pride
in its success) has about twenty acres
in the little farm just south of Weisl
every acre of which is producing
something. On much of this land
they raise three crops during the sea-
son, and as soon as one crop comes
off another is planted. They have
about eight acres Of corn that is as
fine as was ever seen in any land, and
sweet potatoes and other vegetables
sufficient for the family's use the
year around. Their hogs supply them
with meat and lard for the family
and some to sell, They have their
own milk and butter and lots OF it
too, and besides the profit which &C.
crues they get lot of pleasure out Of
their success. These people, as we
would say, live at home, and they are
setting an example, which if follow
ed, will bring untold prosperity tx

CHILDREN S BAD TEETH

Washington, Oct. ga re,
cent investigation made by the
Z. S. Public Health Service in
connection with studies Of rural
school children showed that 49 3
per cent had defective teeth, 21 4
per cent had two or more miss
ing teeth, and only 1863 per cent
had any dental attention. Over
IA per cent never used a tooth
brush, 58.2 per cent used one oc-
casionally and only PA per cent
used one daily.
Defective teeth reduce physical
efficiency. Dirty, suppuratng,
snaggle-toothed mouths are re
sponsible for many cases OF heart
disease, rheumatism, and Other
chronic affections. The children
are not responsible for the neglec
ted state OF Inelr IoelH. Hc )d
rent is to blame for this condl
tion-a condition which ham
pers mental and physical growtl
and puts a permanent handicap
on our future citizens. Sclhoo
teachers can and are doing mucl
in calculating habits Of persona
cleanliness on the rural schoo
child but this will fail Of the
highest accomplishment unles
parents cooperate heartily an(
continuously. This is a dut.
which we owe our children.

TOBACCO RELEASED BY ENG
LAND

Washington, Oct. 26.-As the
result Of protests by the United
States Great Britain has agreed
to release about $3,O0O,OOO worth
of tobacco now tied up at Copen-
hagen and Rotterdam. The an
nouncement was made by the
state department following vls-
if from the British ambassador.
The official statement of the fact
says:
"Officers Of the department ex-
press much satisfaction over the
concession given in the case.
This tobacco was held under a
sudden change Of ruling by
Great Britain Of which this gov
ernment had no notice. England
apparently over night issued Its
instructions that all tobacco
should be consigned to the Meth
erlands Over Seas trust and by
snecial concessions to Scandlna
Wan concerns.

The German forces at Nerdun

liged to withdraw men from one
section of the front to reinforce

TWO BILLION DOLLARS
IN GOLD RESERVE

Washington, Oct. 26.-Two billion
of dollars OF gold reserve in the
United States treasury. This mark
was reached Monday, the exact fig
ures being $4,000 ,449, ,5S3.69. Two
billion dollars is the largest amount
Of gold ever assembled in the treas
ury of any nation in the world at any
time in history. But that is an old
story; 1,0OO.OOO,OoO would mean
the same thing. Gold weight 368
pounds to the $1,000; $4,000 49,
583.69 in gold would, therefore, bulk
up to 7,376,396 pounds, or 3,668.2
tons. Put 100000 on a freight
train, and it would require 134 cars
to carry the total reserve; this would
mean about 33 900 pounds to a car.
! This number of cars, 40 feet to the
| over ALL without the engine, consid-
erably over mile i'll length.
In 1896, during the Cleveland ad-
ministration, the treasurer Of the
United States had a hard time to
! keep the legal amount Of $100,0OO,-
600 in the treasury; one time it fell
as low as 1853, ,493. The bankers
of the United States had to take a
hand and make voluntary deposits OF
gold with the government to keeE
the gold reserve intact. There is in
the vaults of the treasury and sub
treasures Of the Unitde States, in
gold coin, $65,9S9 ,73422; in bullion
$1,O38, ,b59, ,S49.47

SHADY, BUT THRILLING
CAREER OF DARIO RESTA

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. 26.-Dario Resta,
the efrocious, devil-may-care Italian
driver who has hogged American
auto track records and stuck his fin
gers into the prize money Of every
country where they tear around
tracks in high-powered automobiles,
is just taking a breathing spell.
Resta says he is getting ashamed
to take the money and abs promised
not to enter EVERY event in the fu-
ture. ellis going to skip a few to
give the other boys a chance.
Resta hurtled into the limelight
back in 1915 when he hit the high
spots in New York. Prior to that he
had done a few fancy tricks for the
natives in France, Italy and England,
and hwen he hove in view of the
Statue of Liberty he was we'll for
titled with a bank roll even ii he
hadn't scattered records on this
side.
From Italy Resta snorted his in
trepid way into England and he i'm
mediately dare-deviled his way to
victory in three Of England's high
est class events. That was in a Mer-
cedes, but he forsook his colors to
climb a Sunbeam. This had no ef-
feet on his neck breaking speed, for
| he went right on smashing records
and won the Grand Prix at Amiens,
lust before the present European
war broke out.
In 1915 he again began to dream
of American gold and hied himself
back to the shores of the land OF
plenty, epace and gold. He was in
New York just week and then ne
beat it for San Francisco, where ne
proceeded to win two events right ir
succession, the Vanderbilt cup ano
of up to that time Then he Wen
to Indianapolis and engaged in one
the grand prize, something unheare
of the fiercest automobile races eve
run and forced De Palma, anothe
italian, to the very limit to win. A
Chicago he won the 5O0-mile even
and established a new record.
Then they pulled off challeng
race at Chicago and Resta agai1
, nailed his colors to the mast first
: This year has just been one victor
: after another, including the b
5 events at Chicago and Indianapolis
In a championship series OF races a
, Chicago De Palma was beaten in eN
5 cry event by the speedy Italian.
