Spitters a Menace.

Have you thought about the
splotches of spit so numerous on the
sidewalk? Every splotch may be a
breeding spot for disease germs.
When the sun dries out the moisture
and the wind comes along and watts
spit germs into your face, what spe-
cial miracle will protect you? Ever
hear anyone say, "My! but it's windy
today. I'm chewing grit and sand
My eyes are filled with dust" Do you
suppose the dust was clean dust, or
clean sand? Think of germs you
swallow, and then do your part to
lessen tuberculosis and other dis
eases. A promiscuous splitter is a
menace. Teach him better manners,
better principles and better civics.

LOUISIANA in PICTURES.
Graphic Advertisement Of State Pro-
posed by Mayors League.

A moving picture film, Louisiana
AS It Is Today" is proposed by mem.
bers of the executive committee OF
the League Of Louisiana Municipal
ties to advertise the state In the mid
die west. The committee, composed
of Mayor Behrman, of New Orleans
Mayor Elan, of Mansfield; Mayor
| Gamble, of Jennings, and Mayor
Grouchy. of Baton Rouge, met re-
Gently at Baton Rouge aRd heartily
indorsed the project. Harry d. Will
son. commissioner of agriculture, and
DR.. W. R. Dodson, dean of the college
of agriculture of Louisiana State
University. met with the mayors.
It is proposed to have moving pic
ture company take scenes from each
parish in the state showing the agrl-
cultural development of Louisiana.
Scenes also will be taken of the lead
ing cities and towns, featuring the
progressiveness and municipal I'M
provements.
The film, according to the contract
which the ''movie" concern, Chlca-
go company, has offered the mayors,
would be shown free in the open air
to school children and citizens In
every leading city Of the middle west.
It would then be returned to the
state to become the property of the
Louisiana State Museum in New Or
leans.
The mayors believe the film would
do more to combat the idea which
some northern and western people
have of Louisiana, that it is an "alll-
gator and frog pond" than any othef
single agency.
The picture is intended to advertise
the state and encourage farmers to
come here. The funds for making
the films would be contributed by the
different municipalities which are
members of the Mayors League.
