5 900 HEAD OF CATTLE SHIPPED
FROM THIS SECTION

Those who are won to think that
the stock industry in this section is
of small magnitude we would cite to
the records of the past two weeks,
during which time one stockman,
Mr.. A. R. McBurney, has shipped from
this section nearly 5000 head of cat
tie. Of these shipments 1,40O head
went to T. E. Wilson, CedarVale,
Kansas; 600 head to j. L. Borum,
Cedar Vale, Kansas; $50 yearlings to
Morrison & Cooper, Earl, Ark; 500
cows and two-year Odds to J. w. Har-
ris, Alexandria, La; and a shipment
of 100 made by Mr.. McBurney and
J. W. Gardiner to j. L. Borum, Cedar
Vale, Kansas.
Reduced to dollars and cents the
fruits of these transactions covering
period or half-month means the
addition of a considerable wealth to
Jefferson Davis Parish.

COMING PARAMOUNT FEATURES
L. LAZARO, MIC.
Washington, D. c.

The Paramount program at the Au-
ditorium for the coming week will
present two fine features, "The Sc
cret Sin," and "The Masqueraders."
On Wednesday, May oath, Blanche
Sweet will be seen in "The Secret
Sin," a strong photo-play concerning
the drug evil. This is the first OPP
portunity that local patrons of the
movies have had of seeing this very
popular actress and as Miss Sweet
appears as "twins" there are episodes
in the play when she appears in two
characters simultaneously.
Hazel Dawn will return on Friday,
May 26 in a comedy drama, "The
Masqueraders," in which she is said
to do some of the most remarkable
work of her career. Miss Dawn has
been seen at the Auditorium in sever
al photoplays, all of them good, but
this one promises to be even better
than the preceding ones.
"Peg o. the Ring" a serial animal
drama, full of the life of the circus,
will follow Pauline on June 18th. This
is something that is entirely unique
in the way Of picture plays

STATEMENT.

In my address on the presentation
of High School certificates, l made the
remark that while l was visiting the
schools witnessed a history recitation
taught by a Young man, an L. 5. U.
graduate, and that undoubtedly the
lesson was miserable failure. Upon
investigation stated that this failure
was due to the fact that during the
week the young man had gone to three
dances.
I am very sorry that among the
audience there were some who thought
was referring to Mr.. A. S. H. Trap
pey, young man, an L. S. U. graduate
and a teacher of history. ! had abSo-
lutely no reference to this young man,
and he certainly does not deserve such
a chars cterization. Furthermore, |
consider him one OF the best teachers
in this parish.

ODD FELLOWS ANNIVERSARY

The 9th anniversary of the indie
pendent Order of Odd Fellows was
fittingly observed Sunday, May 9TH
with services at the auditorium. The
services had been announced at the
Presbyterian church, but as the crowd
which gathered was beyond the capa-
city of the church the meeting was
adjourned to the Auditorium.
The Rev. w. Lomax Childress, D.
D., of Roanoke delivered a very APP
propriate sermon, and the program
included special music by the Presby-
terrain choir.
Odd Fellows and Rebekahs attended
the services in a body and there were
present many visitors from Lake
Charles, Jennings, and Roanoke.

A NEAT EXHIBIT.

The exhibit in the Domestic Sci
ence building of the Welsh High
School Wednesday afternoon, when
open reception was held, has fully de-
monstrated the worth of these branch
es of education to the patrons of the
school, and to the community. The
marvellous accomplishments of the
students in these departments during
the first seven months of their train
ing must be seen to be appreciated.
If the skeptics who argue against the
induction of these, what they term
new departures in educational lines,
would pay an occasional visit to the
school, there is no doubt of their suf
fering an immediate change of heart.
In the Maual Training department,
under the direction of Prof. Ayles-
worth, the boys have been taught the
care and use of tools, the planning
and execution of delicate cabinet
work. Using the toughest specimens
of timber they have turned out some
excellent articles of furniture, tables,
stools, book racks, medicine cabinets,
picture frames, etc, all done and fin
ished in the neatest possible manner.
In this class are Ben Goldsmith, Hill
ton Findley, Gettys Doan, jeff Mont
gomery, Wilbur Gabbert, Robert Ar
ceneaux, Fahy Godfrey, MILFORD Shoe
maker, Willie Day, Elmer Harris,
Robert Greer, Richie Mason, Vernon
Scoggins and Robert Sullivan, each
of whom had very neat exhibit of
his handiwork.
The cooking and sewing depart
ments are under the very able direc-
ton of Miss Harlin, under whose care
full guidance the young ladies have
made rapid strides in domestic lines,
I'VE understand that at the beginning
some of these young ladies would have
had no trouble in sewing on a button
on their gown, or boiling water with
out burning it, but as their exhibits
show, they are very proficient at this
time.
In the sewing class are the Misses
Frida Goldsmith, Marjorie Robinson
Esther Wright, Lena Bates, Mary
Yantis, Lillian Carroll, Mable Shoe
maker, Marion Funk, Anna Cox and
Helen Hackworth. The articles of en-
broidery, crochet, dress making and
lingerie mast be seen to be appreciat.
ed.
The kitchen is a model of right
principles, good order and cleanliness
and the class, Misses Corine Brad
bury, Edna B. Bourgeois. Hazel He
bert, Fern VanNess, Violet Bottorff
Phoebe Hackworth and Litha Litch
field, were busy serving delicious
strawberry punch and cakes to thu
visitors.

to a community library during the
summer months, and in this event the
library books will be removed to the
sewing room of the Domestic Science
building, where the public, and more
especially the school children, wa
have their use during the vacation.
Plans of this feature are not COM
plete as yet, but will be announced
at an early date.
The public school is coming more
and more to be first in the thought
and esteem of the community. 1t is
community'S greatest asset and
our community has been peculiarly
fortunate in our public school facil-
tiles.

KEEP HEALTH BOARD
OUT Of POLITICS

That DR.. Bowling has given the
state a thorough, intelligent, nom
partisan and efficient administration
of its health and sanitation is univer-
sally accepted and believed; that he
las restored confidence in the ability
of the state to cope with every form
of infectious and contagious disease
which has previously deferred the in"
vestment of capital, hindered desir-
able immigration and depressed our
own people is also universally ac-
copied and believed.
If DR.. Bowling has made enemies,
it is well recognized by every think
ing citizen Of the state why he has
incurred this opposition;< that is, be-
cause of his uncomprising honesty Of
his own convictions and because of a
sincere desire to serve the people. He
has waged the most systematic and
effective fight against dirt and dis
ease ever carried on anywhere in the
United States.
DR.. Bowling is a national figure
and much of the work inaugurated by
him has been copied throughout the
country. Many are following his sys-
tenn of lectures on health and hygiene,
the Louisiana health train, the water
survey, the monthly and quarterly
bulletins, communicable disease in
vestigations, and other features Of
his activities not generally known to
all the people even of his own state.
The conclusion is irresistible that
DR.. Bowling should be reappointed.
We believe efficiency will be the
keynote Of the incoming administra-
ton and we feel that no such mis-
take will be made as to remove him
from office a man of such ability and
fitness as DR.. Bowling has shown
himself to be.
The people want protection Of
health, betterment of sanitar, condi-
tons and any movement which would
deter present progress along these
lines would be most unfortunate and
unpopular.

MR.. r. WETTER DEAD.
One Of Bryan's Old and Honored citi.
zens Passed Away.

At Sis o'clock on Thursday night,
October 18th, Mr.. Frederick Wetter
passed peacefully away at his home
in this city after an illness of about
two weeks. He was givet, every at
tention that it was possible to bestow.
both in medical skill and the tender
ministering of loving hands, but 1t
ayailed not, and death came TO relieve
his sufferings at the hour stated.
Mr.. Wetter was born in West Fall.
en-, Germany. on September Sth. 1S43.
and was 70 years, month and days
OF age at his death. He came to the
United States in 1859 and settled in
Philadelphia, Pa. He came to Bryan
in 1867 when II was a mere village
and had resided here continuously
since.
Bryan never knew a better citizen.
and by his honorable, straightforward
and conscientious course, gained the
esteem and confidence Of all the peo-
pie of the community and held 1t to
the day of his death. What +. Wetter
said was true. What F. Wetter did was
right, and this was the reputation he
bore through the long years that
Bryan was his home. Truly he
builded for himself a good name,
which is to be desired rather than
great riches, and no more priceless
heritage could he bequeath to his
children.
Mr.. Wetter was a member OF the
Presbyterian church and lived a con.
sistent, Christian life. He was also
a member OF the Ancient Order OF
United Workmen. the Woodmen OF the
World and an honorary member OF
the Sons Of Hermann.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs,
Martha Elizabeth Wetter. and five
children, viz: Mrs. Ed NJ. Sims. Mrs.
Martha Elizabeth Robinson OF San
Antonio, Charles G. wetter and Misses
Clara and Pena Wetter. Also by one
grandchild. Hodson Manly Robinson
OF San Antonio.
