Benton High School Notes.

The. work in the various grades in
school is progressing satisfactorily. The
pupils have gone to work with renewed
interest since the holidays, anticipating
the midterm examination, which will
soon be given.
The botany class has had some inter-
esting lessons on mushrooms, distin-
gushing between the poisonous and
edible kinds. Judging from the pour of
toadstools brought in, Benton soil seems
to be prolific in the edible ones.
A new supply of electrical apparatus
has just been received by the physics
class and the young electricians are now
Enthusiastic in performing experiments
with the new material.
The high school department was very
much gratified to receive from Super
intendent Foreson last Wednesday morn
ing fine new stand for the dictionary,
which has been recently added to the
library.
The work in the intermediate grades
is progressing very nicely. Every pupil
is back after the holidays and all seem
ready for the work of Che new year. The
literary society has been reorgonized
and the pupils in these grades have
planned to give program every Friday
afternoon. All parents and friends are
invited to attend these programs.
/ The interest which has been so marked
in the primary department from the be-
ginning of school continues to grow.
The children began the new year with
renewed interest and already a great
deal of improvement has been made. II
| is interesting to watch the little folk
working away at numbers or copying
some work from the board.
We are glad to welcome as member
of the third grade Wilson Smith from
Kingston plantation.
Quite distinguished visitor, "Sun-
shine" Hawks, visited the school last
week and made a very interesting and
appropriate talk to the pupils during
chapel exercises.
| We were very sorry to have John Hill
ton Stinson. Beverly Stinson and Robert
Stinson sever their relations with our
school, their parents having moved to
Dixie. We hope that these three bright
pupils have found good school facilities
in their new home. COR.

Negroes who went north in large
numbers last fall from Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and other Southern States are
returning as best they can, some walk
ing part of the way and others writing
home for money to enable them to
return. They say the weather is too
cold for them, living cost is too high and
other conditions are not right. The
South is the home of the negro. He is
understood and wanted here. He is not
understood and is not wanted in the
North.

Roadless Russia.

1t seems almost Uncomfortable to the
foreign visitor who has ever left the
beaten track of the railways In Rus
sia how a great empire can have sub
sisted so long and SO successfully with
out even nretense at roads The Sc
cret lies in the fact that for Eve or six
months in the year nature herself pro-
vides roads over the greater part Of
Russia : admirable. smooth. CLASSY
roadways over hard worn snow. The
traffic is further cheapcned over these
roads by the substitution OF a siedge
runner for the wheel and axle. This
brings the cost of land carriage as
near the chcapness of water borne
freight as possible. and It is the prin-
cipal reason why Russia in the TWEEN
ticth century il still roadless land

It seems that President Wilson's peace

by which some people. who were in
formed in advance Of the purpose to
send such note, profted by selling
stock short. Tho Republican members
of Congress are terribly shocked at the
superstition, advanced by them, that
some person or persons connected with
the administration used q knowledge OF
the Governments intentions to make
money. Many are named but none is
accused as yet; but the hope Of scan

that they may DO further shocked and

what You Owe Your Town.

Ruston Progressive Age: It makes no
difference who you arc or what you are,
this town has done more for you than
you have done for it. You may be rich
or you may be poor, or in moderate
circumstances, but in either case you
have never recognized or repaid. This
statement is worthy of serious consid-
Grafton by every citizen who believes in
giving as he receives, If you give it
the consideration it deserves you will
get busy right away and do your full
share towards making this bigger and
more prosperous town in every way.

the American farmer is the rapidly
increasing, expanding and always
perpetuating middleman. No matter
what the farmer raises or produces, or
what price the ultimate consumer pays,
the middleman and his cohorts and sat-
elites get the bulk Of it. When apples
were rotting on the ground in many sec
tons Of the country last summer because
the growers could not get a price suffi-
Gent to pay for marketing them the
people of the cities and towns were pay
ing a nickel for three little runts. If
fair sized they we're two for nickel,

st. Francisville True Democrat: BY
decree of the Supreme Court of Kansas,
the mayor of town in that state has
been removed from office, becaused he
promised positions in return for votes.
It seems that, unlike Louisiana's law of
the same character, the Kansas corrupt
practice statute has teeth in it-as it
should have. There is no more danger
Gus form of bribery than to promise Jobs
for political support, and it is the very
foundation stone of the systems by which
bosses build up their great power, and
individual politicians who are astute get
Offices for themselves. For it is remark
able how one promise Of s'job" can
form, the nucleus. of an entire family
connections support, in fact the allie
glance Of a large circle OF friends. How
often one sees this done in Louisiana!
It is to be hoped that the example set
by the Supreme Court of Kansas will
soon be followed by other suits and sim
liar decisions.
