New York, Feb. IL. = Gold
shipments have been resumed by
the allies. twenty-five million
dollars which had been deposited
at Vancouver. B. c., by Russia,
arrived here to-day.
Just what the significance of
this shipment direct from Russia
is, no one in authority would say
to-day. But recent reports have
said that some difficulties had
been encountered by munitions
makers who had tried to collect
money owing them on goods
manufactured for Russia.

Your Boy.

A boy is a problem not easy to
solve, he makes up his mind and
he makes a resolve; he draws
his conclusions the way he is
taught, or learns from experience
most dearly bought. His dad is
his ideal nine times out of ten,
the kids want to be like their
dads when they're men; they
ape every action, they copy each
move, and go right along in their
daddy's old groove. So what
does it teach you when your little
son comes home from Sunday
school on a dead run, and on
mothers lap will so smiling perch
and say, mother. why doesn't
dad go to church," Your boy
is now starting to think and to
plan, he knows that he also will
soon be a man. He says to his
mother, this Sunday school stuff
is only for kids, and I'll bet it is
a bluff, because if the Sunday
school stories are true, and going
to church is the right thing to
do. why doesn't my dad go to
church as he should? / know it's
all bunk, cause my daddy is
good" Does it nothing teach
you, oh, fathers I say, to know
that your boy copies you in this
way? And listen to me for the
sake of that SON who's destined
to trail in the course you shall
run; be upright and honest. be
moral and true, go to church
with your son, for he'll take after
you. -Lorin H. Gingles.

Absurd Opposition to Road Bonds.

Absuro OppCSliiOn 10 ROAD bchOs.
We understand that some of
the voters of Road District 8 are
straining at a gnat about the
election March IL, to vote bonds
for good roads. Somebody has
been stuffing them with the silly
theory that because the ordinance
says that the cost of building
and crawling" three or four of
the roads shall not exceed two
thousand dollars per mile" that
the allowance for those roads is
to be cut short in order to use
more of the money on the Jeffer-
son Highway. This is about the
most absurd proposition we have
heard in a long time. Under the
absolute provisions of the ordi-
nance $1,000 per mile is to be used
on the Verda- Colfax road and the
two spurs in ward six, and $1,000
per mile is to be used to gravel
the road from Verda to Mont
gomery. The rest of the money
is to be applied toward building
the Jefferspn Highway. This is
the only application of the money
voted by the people Of Grant par
ish that can possibly be made un-
der the terms of the ordinance.
As a matter of fact the police
jury of Grant parish expects to
get considerable help from the
State and National appropriations
in addition to the $3.50, 600 bonds
to be voted by the people of the
parish under the provisions of
the State and National laws. In
fact, the expectation of getting
help on our roads from the State
and National governments is the
strongest kind of an incentive
for us to vote our bond issue.
We receive this help in proper
ton to the help we give ourselves,
and we will get none of it'll
until we have done a lot of good
substantial work on our roads.
The voting of road bonds is
equitable, practical, just and
right, and every progressive in
telligent citizen should vote in |
favor Of issuing them.

The ..Drys" Make Gains in Congress

Washington, Feb. Is. - Prohi-
bition took a forward step today
in both branches of Congress.
In the Senate drastic amend
ments to the postal appropriation
bill were adopted which would
make the Importation of liquor
into States which prohibit it's
manufacture and sale a criminal
matter. and would exclude liquor
advertisements from the mails in
States which legislate against ad-
vertisements of liquor.
In the House the national pro-
hibition constitutional amend
ment was favorably reported by
the judiciary committee with the
prediction from Chairman Webb
that it would pass the House in
another week.
Champions of prohibition greet
ed this announcement with en-
thusiasm, in spite of their reali-
zation that passage in the House
will end action on the amend
ment SO far as this session of
Congress is concerned. There is
no thought of action by the Sen
ate before March 4, when the
64th Congress dies.

Submarine Threat May Bring War.

submarine threat May BRING war.
The News from Washington is
to the effect that Germany is
seeking to avoid war by an un-
Outstanding with the United
States. In spite of this informa-
ton, which is confirmed by adj
vices from Berlin, the unmuzzled
guns of the U-boats Of the SUBJ
marine fleet may commit the
covert act" that President Will
son says will cause him to meet
force with force. This order of
the Kaiser to sink neutral ships
that come within the zone of the
ocean Understanding the allies
without warning, has stirred the
people Of the United States and
of the civilized world, and may
bring a crisis at any moment.
England, France, Italy and
Russia have decided to arm all
their merchantmen to resist SUBJ
marines, and the same thing will
probably be done for American
ships. Armed ships of ordinary
speed have little to fear from the
submarines which are easily
knocked out when they appear
on the surface.
THE ARMED SEA LANE
Another manner of meeting
the submarine threat is by means
of a funnel Snapped sea lane of
armed patrol ships. The British
admiralty is reported to have es-
tablished such a lane extending
three hundred miles westward
from the British Isles, and I'M
armed ships that keep within tie
lane are safe from attack.
The allies do not regard the
submarine threat as at all compe-
tent to starve England. They
are reported to be ready to CO.
operate in the destruction of
German submarines, and express
confidence in meeting the men,
ace sufficiently effective to cope
with the threatened danger.
While many ships of the allies
and also Of neutraPs may be
sunk, as has been the case all
along, the 800 or 500 German
submarines cannot hope to SER
iously cripple the great fleet of
shipping vessels that traverse
the war zone daily by thousands.
