turn it into the school fund of the

ganization can go in regard to prop.
erty of aliens. McAllistcr, who was
present at the conference in the Of

the confiscation of such property.
1t was suggested that the property
could be located and identified
through the reports and records OF
county collectors.

NOT A QUESTION OF "CAN WE
AFFORD MORE SCHOOL,"
BUT A QUESTION OF HOW
MUCH SHALL WE SPEND.

Now that the Advisory
Committee appointed to investigate
and make recommendation concern.
ing new school facilities for this
school district, have started the bal
rolling by suggesting that the need.
ed facilities may be provided by the
expenditure Of $4,000, more OF
less, the taxpayers of the district
who will foot the bills will undoubt-
edly want to go on record as want
ing more rather than less than the
figure named. 1t has been pointed
out that S5O,O0Q will do no more
than duplicate the present school
facilities. It has been further
pointed ont that the present school
facilities are inadequate for half
the present inrollment. This being
true, will $4,000 in a new build
ing furnish the relief demanded?
Or will it provide for the building
site, the modern equipment and the
desk room needed? And again,
will it be anything more than very
temporary relief, at the most, and
what provision will be made for the
rapidly increasing scholastic popula-
ton?
If the Advisory Committee decid-
es that $4,000 is amply to take
care of the situation, then are the
taxpayers due the committee vote
Of thanks for their economic handl-
ing of the situation and al taxpayers
will undoubtedly confirm the action
of the committee by marching glad
~ to the polls and casting a solid
vote in favor of the bond issue
which will be voted for that pur-
pose. If the committee finds that
double the mentioned amount will
be needed, there is not a single
thinking property taxpayer who
IAN say that they have not decided
wisely and well. Taxes paid over
,or the purpose of providing needed /
school facilities are not burdening

BISHOP SESSUMS PREACHED
To An Audience That Taxed The
Capacity of Trinity Church

Ri. Rev. Sessums, Episcopal Bis
hep of Louisiana preashed last night
at Trinity Church to an audience
that taxed the seating capacity OF
that edifice. The Bishop took as his
text, three verses from the 9Th
chapter of st. Matthew, dwelling
particularly on the words: LAY
Not Up For Yourselves Earthly
Treasures" He made a strong plea
that money and material things be
only used for the honorable purpose
intended, and that they not be made
the sole ambition Of life. Bishop
Sessums made it clear that he had
no fault to find with wealth, honor
ably achieved, and the many COM
forts it would procure, but made a
powerful plea to men and women
not to forget christianity in their
chase for the dollar.
After the close of his sermon,
the Bishop made a few remarks
about the Church pension fund,
saying that the Episcopal Church
was raising the sum Of five million
dollars to pension the aged members
Of the clergy, whom the Bishop. de-
clared to be very much underpaid.
He said: "Four million dollars of
this fund has already been raised,
and the balance must be raised by
March LIST, to save, number of
pledges that were made on the con-
dition that the entire amount be
raised by March LIST. Louisiana's
part of the remaining million has
been set at $4,000" The commit
tee appointed to take care of
Trinty's part in the work consists
Of: Messrs. Albert Storm, Warren
B. Reed, Cass Jolley and Carrot
Lynch.
At the offertory Miss Eliza Mentz
of Houston, Texas sang a beautiful
vocal selection.
The Methodist and Presbyterian
churches dismissed their regular ser
vice last night and a large part of
their membership attended services
at Trinity.
