Pay Your Poll Tax.

Louisiana in 1918 will elect a
United States Senator, success.
sor to the Hon. Joseph e: Rams
dell. II will also choose a full
delegation Of eight to Congress.
These promise to be important
elections. There may be others
in that year which cannot now
be foreseen.
No man who fails to pay his
poll tax between now and Dec.
81 will be able to participate in
these elections. Only those who
have receipts for 1916 and 1917
will possess the qualifications to
vote.
This Is a strong political rea-
son why you ought not to over
look the payment Of yonr tax

New St. Tammany Road.

The committee appointed by
the police jury of Washington
parish composed of j. G. Reeves,
Edgar Waskom, W. H. Jenkins
and R. H. Spring, reports more
good roads for st, Tammany
parish.
This committee was appointed
by the police jury of Washington
parish to meet the police jury of
st. Tammany parish and ask
that body to grade a road from
the good road north Of Folsom to
ruu in a northwest direction to
intersect the Penn good road of
Washington parish. This road
when completed by st, Tammany
parish will not only be an outlet
for the northwest corner Of st,
Tammany parish but also an out
let for the southwestern portion
of Washington parish end eastern
Tangipahoa parish. In other
words this short road when com.
pleted, which was to be by, March
the LIST, 1917, will mean a direct
route between the three parish
capitals.

Hi gh Cost of Bad Roads.

The road that connects your
farm with the nearest town has
more to do with the cost Of living,
doubtless, than you realize.
Have you ever thought that every
article you buy must be hauled
over the road; that your teams
and vehicles or your automobile
must bear the ''Wear and tear"
caused by a rough road to sell
farm products or to bring the ne.
cessities from the town?
The fact that your neighbor
must also pay the high cost of
bad roads is all the better reason
why you, he and the rest of the
neighborhood should get together
and improve the road to save
some Of this expense. What you
and your neighbors lose in haul
ing farm products over bad roads
would soon build a good road and
give yon quick and satisfactory
service.
How long can you afford such
loss? And when shall the road
be improved?
