You have never yet made an investment
Where you didn't expect to win,
But you sometime have found to your sorrow
You've beautifully taken in.
You may have laid down your good money

When you, with your oats, have been sold
If asked by a friend to play poker,
You'd experience, no doubt quite shock;

80 Gents FOR THE
Christmas TURKEY
Many Birds Could Be Pur-
chased Today for
That Price
GEESE AT Is CENTS
SUIT MANY FAMILIES

Turkeys will be 80 cents a pound
for Christmas unless there should be
a sudden rush and a scarcity of birds
but there were plenty in Wilmington
today for 80 cents a pound and few
takers at that. A number of the mar
ket people were holding out for 80
cents a pound for some of the birds,
others asked 80 to 80 cents. But along
the curb and in the wagons in King
street there appeared to be plenty Of
turkeys to be had for three dimes "a
pound and all were freshly killed and
attractive.
investigation today revealed few
cold storage turkeys. most dealers de-
claring they would not take any, and
others explaining they had no demand
for them. All the turkeys in sight
looked freshly killed and good.
Geese have made their appearance
and are being sold for about 25 cents
q pound. This appears TO be fairly
uniform price for all fowl other than
turkeys, chickens, ducks and geese all
bringing this price per pound. Rab-
bits are scarce and are bringing from
70 cents to 90 cents a pair. Rabbits
made their appearance i'm the markets
early this week, but the supply was
small and none were seen today. It
was explained there might be a few
in some of the markets.

just where the difference in

comes in. They not only look
better, but they ARE better
better made, better wearing, bet

MARY
By Lena SPARKS From a Painting

Gentle Mary, sweet and mild
Mothering her newborn child
There among the lowly kline,
He, the holy Babe divine
Mother Mary. in thine eyes
What a depth OF wisdom lies
For the angel told TO thee
All the holy mystery;
Mother Mary, on thy breast
SOOthe Emmanuel TO rest.
Mother Mary, in thine eyes
There a world of sorrow lies.
Seest thou. there far away
Ia a morning cold and gray
on hill a cross arise
Underneath the frowning skies?
Nearest thou that p teous cry
Thrilling all humanity?
Mother Mary, on thy breast
Soothe thy sobblng babe TO rest
Stricken mother, look afar
Where unfading triumphs are,
See those glorious armies shine,
See the mighty battle line
Marching forward to fulfill
All His Heavenly Fathers will;
See the eternal victories won
Meath the banner OF thy Son.
We, with Joy, all hail the morn
That Christ. the holy Babe was born
Children, men and angels sing
Glory TO the newborn King;
Mary. be thy name adored,
Thou, that mothered Christ the Lord.

The public. schools of the parish
opened this week under very promis-
ing conditions and the ensuing session
will probably be one of most successful
and satisfactory we have ever had.
The st. Joseph IIigh School opened
with an enrolment OF 70-odd and the
enthusiasm displayed by the children
and interest by the teachers argue
well for promising term.
Miss George Lynch has not recov-
cred sufficiently to resume her duties
In the high school department and her
work during her absence IS being car
ried on by Miss Bette Turpin Of Wa
terproof.
The Waterproof High School ad-
vises: "We opened with total en-
rollment Of 56 pupils, Is Of these be-
ing In the high school. This is slight
ly under the eni ollment of last year,
some having moved from the parish,
though the high school is larger. The
enrolment of the high school is as
follows: eleventh grade: Cora Ruck-
er, Carryl Seaman; tenth grade: Har-
riet Peek, Aust David, Frank Mas
sony; ninth grade: Jessie Hudnall,
Louise Seaman, Virginia Seaman, Ca
rey Martien, Phillip Watson, Johnnie
Peek; eighth grade: Marian White,
John Greaves, Evelyn Hunter, Louise
Sesman.o
We have not heard from Newellton,
but understand that school also began
this session under favorable auspices
and with an enrolment of 53-the
largest enrolment i'm the history Of
the institution.
On the whole the pnblic school sys-
tenn of Tensas parish is established on
high plane and ranks second to none
in the river parishes at least of North
Louisiana.
The Loamland school house, now
under process of building, is rapidly
approaching completion, and will be
. very handsome structure and quite
an ornament to that section. The State
Department of Education has appro-
priated the sum of s4Oo to aid in
the construction of this building. The
school will open on October End, with
Mrs. LaCour as principal and Miss
Betty Turpin in charge of primary
department.
