WHEN IRONING kERcHIEFs
When ironing handkerchiefs the mid
die should be ironed first. To iron the
edges first causes the middle to swell
out like a balloon and makes it difficult
to iron satisfactorily.

New South

Never before has the South got
ten as square deal than was its
good fortune under the Wilson
Democratic administration of the
past four years. Everything came
our way and there was reason for
it. The South's friends we're in
power. and it being the major
fraction of the dominant party, 1t
was naturally in a better position
than it had ever been previously
to secure its just deserts.
The general constructive legis-
lation engineered and carried to
the end by the Democrats, such
as the currency legislation, the
Federal Reserve Bank, the Farm
Loan Banks, were beneficial to
all sections of the country, injur-
ious to none, and happened to suit
our needs to a queens taste, be-
cause of our agricultural pursuits.
The flood control bill that had
been our dream and hope was
realized. The nation but recog-
nized its obligation; since its wa
ters we're poured down upon US it
was but fair play that we should
have been given adequate protec-
ton, paid for in part if not in full
by Federal revenue. The nation
is but helping us for helping our
selves.
Protection from overflow and
cheap money-what bonanzas9
With these exceptional conditions,
if we but eschew politics, apply
ourselves of our numerous oppor-
tunities, our development will be
nothing short of p h menal.
We are indeed at the threshold of
the greatest unlimited prosperity
and progress the South has ever
had. Truly, it is the dawn of the
"New South, not literally but in
reality. 1t is the south's reward
for fidelity and fealty to one par
ty of its fathers, to the party of
the masses, to confidence ill its
convictions and principles-Dem-
ocracy's tribute to the solid south,
Thus we witness the dawn of the
New South"-Commercial Jour-
nal.

EFWhat's Wrong
With the World -

will be the subject of the lecture under
the auspices of Natchitoches Council of
the Knights of Columbus at Court
House, 8 p. M, on March %, by
Peter Collins of MaSSaChu-
sets. Mr.. Collins is we'll qualified
to discuss in a broad, comprehensive
manner the great problems of our day,
and to set forth constructive
remedies that aid in the advance
ment and progress of civilization.
During the past five years alone Mr..
Collins has spoken to over 1000, 900
people in the United States and Canada,
and has travelled nearly 100, 900 miles.
Peter Collins needs no introduction to
the men and women of America inter
ested in the great constructive move
ments of Christian Democracy and
Social Reform. His experience and &C
tivity in the cause of social legislation
well qualities him for his platform work,
having served for many years as Inter
national Secretary of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Ed
itor of the Electrical Workers. and as
member of the Illinois Industrial Com
mission, one of the first commissions in
the United States that made possible
great code of laws for the health,
safety and comfort of the workers in
that State. This code of laws has been
copied by many states and has received
the approval OF sociologists and states
men the world over
At all Mr.. Collins lectures the
open forum prevails, and every one in
his audience is afforded the privilege of
asking any questions and being
assured of an always courteous, prompt
and convincing answer.
The Iowa City Press of the Univer-
sity City of Iowa, where Peter Collins
spoke to the Commercial Club, the Uni
versity Fraternity Society and a great
public meeting, said:
''Peter Collins is a real orator, and
this man Of toll outstrips many scholars
as platform publicist for K. of C. He
is thinker and an orator. All in all,
his address was one of the best ever
delivered in Iowa City. Mr.. Collins
will always be welcomed by the general
public in the University City of Iowa. F."
The press of the nation has been
most glowing in their editorial appre-
citation of Mr.. Collins, and have every
where devoted many columns of their
news space to his message. The follow
ing are but few Of the thousands of
press comments:

structive service for his country. -

the platform, looking to perfection the

Increased Travel on
Improved Roads

Hereafter no. concrete roads will be
built in Wayne county, Mich, Of less
width than 16 feet, "a feet over all,
because the county road commission
has found that as soon as a new road
of this kind is opened there is an enor.
nous increase in the traffic. Not only
do the people living along the road use
it more, but persons come from miles
on either side to use such q road in
preference to the dirt roads they for
merly travelled. Hence the commission
has decided that it must provide for
three times the present traffic on a
road when it puts down a concrete
roadway. With this increase in traffic
come greater speed and heavier loads,
so that while Is feet will be the mini
mum width, 18 feet will be adopted
wherever practicable and 20 feet near
Detroit. While this will add materially
to the first cost, it will save money in
the long run, the commission has re-
ported, because the cost Of macadamiz-
Ing and repairing the shoulders along
narrow roadways will be greatly re-
duced. It has been found that the work
done in only few years on the should
ers of several roads would have paid
for building the concrete roadway six
feet wider.

The necessity for the holding of
an extra session. of the Legislature
in the late spring or early summer
has been agreed upon and Cover
nor Pleasant who opposes them
and will soon round out ibis first
year without one and hoped to
avoid them during his entire four,
will issue the call very sooG.
While there are several considera-
tons that make the call impera
tive, the most important is the re-
suit of the operation of the Powell
Banking bill, whereby it is posi-
BILE for the State to lose around a
half or three quarters of a million
dollars in taxables, since the at
torney general has ruled that un
der the provisions of this act as
SCISSORS cannot assess the capital
stock, surplus and undivided pro
fits of National banks in Louis
lana.
Since the above was put in type
the Governor in a statement pub
lished in the same papers. that
announced the day before that he
was going to call an extra session
of the Legislature. denies that he
has any intention of doing 50, as
he knew of nothing that would
make a special meeting of the
General Assembly necessary.
A member of the State Board
Of Affairs, says that the Powell
bill would not need to be changed

any notice, but when she contin-

The Cleah-Up Campaign.

The cleanup campain inaugu-
rated this season by The City
Beautiful League has been a most
successful one, as it had the hear
ty cooperation of all the citizens
Of Natchitoches, as the committees
in charge of the different districts
were cordially assured by black
and white residents in their house
to house visits.
Every section of old Natchito-
ches is blooming like a rose and if
we don't have the cleanest. health
lest and prettiest city in the State,
this year, it won't be the fault of
its good, interested people.
The League proposes to keep this
clean condition up to the standard
that has been established by the
general work done this week by
making it a regular thing and has
a scheme in mind that it hopes to
develop with the help of the in
terested public.
The scheme is to have a garbage
wagon make the rounds at regular
intervals, once a week for the
present and oftener in warm wea-
Their, that will visit every house
and take off the garbage for one
coupon, a book containing twelve
to be sold for 500 at City Hall.
1t is hardly possible to plan
anything that could be more feast
BILE or more reasonable and we
trust it will materialize at once.
The Boy Scouts are lending their
best efforts to the cleanup move
ment and have offered their services
every Saturday to ''tidying" up the
public places and streets and the
outskirts of Natchitoches and
along the Lake front that have
been used for dumping grounds
to the disgrace of the community.
