THE LIFE OF
A YELLOW DOG

Washington, October 20-Pon-
derous governmental machinery
stood shock still today while a
thirteen year old girl stood before a
groop of dignified generals and
tearfully pleaded for the life Of a
little yellow dog.
She was Ester Smiley, Of Mary
land, sister of Private Peter Smiley,
recruit Of the United States Mar
inc Corps, and the dog she he'd in
her arms had been Peters playmate
since youth.
"Rover will surely die Of grief m
less you send him on to my brother"
the little girl sobbed.
And wonder of wonders, the dlgn-
flied generals understood the little
girls plea, and, acting instanter to
preclude the embalming Of Rover in
the red tape of officialdom, gave the
necessary instructions, and within
an hour the faithful playmate of
Private Peter Smiley was Grated up
ready for shipment to the Marine
Corps recruit depot, Port Royal, S.
c., where. he is still training for the
land and sea duties Of marines.

LARGE INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL s

The demands from all parts of the
State for agricultural schools indi-
Gates very plainly the sentiment of
the people for Improvement in agri-
cultural methods and conditions.
The number of these schools have in
creased from 81 in 1914 and So in
1916. They are located in SO differ
ent parishes.
The primary purpose of the agri-
cultural schools is to furnish in
struction in the fundamental of agri-
cultural practice to boys in the rural
districts. Approximately 1000
Louisiana farm boys are attending
these schools. The class room work
is supplemented by field work on the
school farms, on which the best
knwon methods of farming are in
operation.
The agricultural schools of the
state have proved to kc Of much
value in many other respects. also,
such as % demonstrating the large
large yields of louisiana soils pro-
duce with proper cultural methods;
, showing the good results that
come from the use Of improved var
ieties and quality of seed; and ~
showing which crops grow best in
the different section of the state.
The work Of the agricultural
schools is supervised by State in
spector, who is employed jointly by
Junior extension division of L. S.
U. and the State Department of
Public Education.-Press Bulletin.

Housewives generally are coming

option of change in lighting. 1t
may be in the installation of Mazda
lamps throughout, for strange as it
may seem, there are many house
holds which use electric lamps that
have not yet discovered the saving in
electricity effected by Mazda lamps.
The adoption of the indirect system
of illumination in the dining, living
rooms and parlor offers another
means of improving lighting condi-
tons in the home. The change which
involves the least expense, however,
and which will often yield the most
pleasing effects is made by the in
stallation Of portable table or read
ing lamps.
Portable lamps have grown so in
popular favor that they are now
made in variety Of shades, sizes
and colors adapted to meet the taste
of the most exacting purchaser. In
deed, the schemes or architecture in
vogue today are we'll adapted for the
exclusive use Of portable lamps in
lighting living rooms and parlors.
For living room portables Of low
intensity are usually chosen and
used in combination with a few side
lights when more illumination is
needed for entertaining. Such a

TWO OF CARRIERE'S CAPTORS
HELD AS LEBLEU'S SLAYERS
Arrest is Effected in District Court

Lake Charles, La, Oct. 30
Sheriff Henry A. Reid and Deputy
Sheriff Calvin w. Harmon and Dal-
las Gross, local business man
were arrested, just before noon this
morning on charge of being i'm
plicated in the murder of Fred Leb-
leu last June.
Reid recently led posse that cap
tured Hilaire Carriere and Harmon
was a member of that posse. The
warrant against them was sworn out
by Zepherin Lebleu, father of the
murdered man, and charges Sheriff
Reid and Deputy Sheriff Harmon
with the murder and Dallas Gross
with being an accessory before the
fact. The men protest their inno-
cence and hint a "frame-up" is be-
ing attempted.
The arrest was effected very
quietly in the District Court room,
where a number of officials had as
sembled after the signing of the
warrant. Coroner w. L. Fisher, who
was present, was commissioned by
Judge Winston Overton and served
the warrant on the three men Attor-
neys L. H. Moss and U. A. Bell then
applied for preliminary hearing,
which will be held tomorrow morn
ing at 9 o'clock.
Coroner W. L. Fisher, who be-
came acting sheriff by the arrest Of
Sher.ft Reid. took the three men
over to Inc parish jail, VIE, they
are spending he night. They expect
to make bond in the mor,.ny, after
the preliminary hearing is conclud-
ed, if they are not ordered released
by the court.
The following statement, in which
Harmon and Gross concur, was made
this afternoon by Sheriff Reid:
Erred Lebleu was my intimate
personal and political friend. The
charges against me in connection
with this murder is outrageously |
false. | have asked for my imme-
liate preliminary hearing, and the
facts will be at once, laid before the |
public. No "frame-up" has ever sue
ceeded against an innocent man in |
Calcasieu parish, and this is one
against me and my friends will be
-orn to shdeds when the truth comes
% light"

selecting the type of portable best
adopted to certain home surround
ings, the proper selection being
largely determined by the color and
character of wall paper, hangings
and furniture. Schemes for decora-
ting may often be picked up from
illustrated books, and from them
hints on the type of portable lamp
to be used may often be cleaned.
The selection Of the proper de
sign of portable lamp depends upon
a few fundamental rules of decoIa-
ton which it is wei for the buyer to
know. As d rule the base Of the por-
table should be in harmony with the
furniture. The shade should har-
monte in color and design with
TIE decorations. For example, oak or
bronze bases should be used with
mission furniture While lacquer is
suitable with French Gray bedroom
suites, mahogany with any red finish
and old gold with gilded-brass-and
onyx stands which still survive as
relics of the nineties. Pale gray and
white or black and white shades will
harmonic with the gray or white
paper so often used in bedroom
suites. Shade materials may be
bought in such a great variety of
materials and colors that it is posi-
BILE to obtain any result desired.
. Portable lamps may be effective
ly used to enchance the charm and
size of a small room. A portable
lamp to illuminate central table
and bring out dimly the dark cor
ners of the room will make the room
seem larger. Such lamp should
shield the eyes from the rays of
light coming from the lamps fila
ment and at the same time afford
sufficient illumination to allow read
ing beside it. Higher efficiency Of
illumination may be secured by
choosing lamp shade with white
material.
A lamp of very low intensity is
often sufficient to illuminate a hall
way or other room which is seldom
used but often traversed by the fam
lily. In such a place illumination may
be sacrificed to secure decorative
effect, and, therefore pottery lamp
may be selected.
Dinner tables are most effectively
illuminated with portables. A single
lamp should be used The base
should be slender and the shade
should not obstruct the view. The
light sources should be screened, for
it is impossible to keep them out of
the line of sight. With this arrange
ment the table, the center of inter-
est, is also made the center Of illu-
and the rest of the room
is left in obscurity.

Of the materials used in lamp
construction, silk is undoubtedly the
most popular This is because it is
low in price, light in weight, and
may be obtainable in innumerable
colors and textures. Paper is cheap
and may be decorated by hand, and
parchment is sometimes used. The
wicker frame portable is especially
adapted for use on porches enclosed
for the winter. 1t harmonizes we'll
with the wicker porch furniture
Department stores, in some in
stances, have seized on the popular
ity of the portable electric lamp as
an opportunity for selling the stand
ards complete and allowing the
to choose a wire frame
and the necessary shade material for
her own shade. Electricians
also have found a profitable field in
vases into portable lamps
This is easily done by fitting a met
al cap to the top Of the vase to hold
the lamp and shade and drilling
hole through the porcelain bottom
for the electric light cord to enter.
