A WARNING.

FRANKLIN, La, Oct II, 1916.
The st. Mary Banner,
Franklin. La.
GENTLEMEN:-Plea lend your eff.
forts 10 warning the people living
along the Bayou Teche of the danger
of letting their stock go into the
bayou and eat the water lilies, on &C.
count of the fact that the lilies in the
Bayou Teche are being sprayed with
an arsenic solution in order to kill
them, and this solution is deadly poi
sOnous to any animal. Twelve of my
COWS have died at this writing and a
number of others are sick and will
probably die within the next few days.
The first We knew of the fact that
these lilies we're being sprayed with
this poison was on day before yes
terday when going into the pasture l
found two cows dead and several
others dying. An antidote was ad-
ministered at once and the cattle Kept
away from the Bayou, but enough had
already been consumed to cause them
to die
l heard when this steamer Hyacinth
was in the Bayou a roundabout ru-
NOR to the effect that stock should not
be allowed to 60 into the Bayou and
eat the lilies. but seeing no official
notice anywhere, l naturally assumed
that the Government would not send
this boat up the Bayou spreading out
a deadly poison without sending Of
fetal warnings to the inha bitants
along its banks. but to my amazement
/ find that the Government has done |
this identical trick. Possibly this |
might have been expected from a |
Government of the Russian type,
where the officials are full of igno-
rance, arrogance and contempt for the
welfare of the citizens, or it might
have been done in Brazil, but for
government like ours to be guilty of
a thing of this sort arouses our as
tonishment This work is being car
ried out by the United States Army
officials. If this is sample of the
Army's efficiency, God pity US in the
next war.
My loss amounts to date to about a
thousand dollars, and dare say there
are number of others who have sui.
erred severe losses all of which could
nave been avoided by written notices
and publication in the local papers,
giving official warning of the dagger.
Yours very truly.

minded and prominent member Of the
Morals Committee of a small town, is
discovered in her clandestine meeting s
with John Blake, drummer. In or
der to save her from her fathers
wrath. her elder sister, Jane, takes
the disgrace upon herself and is driv ep
from home. 10 the city she suffers
many hardships. She meets and falls
in love with George Rogers, the ne'er-
do-well son Of wealthy mercha ant.
They are married, but George soon
tires OF his welded life and goes to
Alaska to seek his fortune, where he
forgets his home and Jane in the lure
OF Vine, women and gold.
Jane meets Blake who falls in love
with her, but she repulses him on ac-
count OF his association with her past
life. After many sacrifices, however,
he proves his sincerity, and together
they find peace in the knowledge of
their true love. Opera house, Friday.

CHANGING SCHOOL BOOKS.

ut is clear that the people OF Louis
lana failed to sufficiently impress the
state school authorities with the JUS
tice OF their complaints few years
ego when there was something in the
nature OF a popular uprising against
the too frequent changes in the text
books used in the public schools. The
opening OF the schools this year wit
messed another change in many of
these bOOks-changes that work a
hardship upon thousands of families.
1t is no justification to say that
the old books are accepted in ex-
change. The old books are accepted
only 1t heavy discount and the cost
of the new books remains a heavy
burden upon the family pocketbook.
OF oil times this would appear to be
the worst for making any radical
changes in school books and thus
adding to the thigh cost of living"
There are literally thousands of fam
lilies ia this state that cannot afford it.
This practice is getting to be an
outrage TO which the people are called
almost every year to meekiy submit.
They see no reason for it and ap-
parently it is not considered neces-
sary that they should be supplied with
any reason. Theirs is but to obey
the ukase of those in power and pay
the cost. 1t is time they should OBJ
lect and make their objections heard.
10 any issue OF economy for the peo-
pie or profits for the book manutac-
turers, the decision should rest with
the former. "-Shreveport Times.
