It was Mt the prompting Of william

nomenclature has been adopted by the
National Horse Show association com.
mittee. He requested that the term
'polO mounts" be substituted for
"polO ponies" I'm the prize list and
catalogue hereafter. There are two
classes for polo mounts, respectively
for light and heavyweight mounts. In
each the judging will be for manners
hardness and conformation, and the
owner or polo club member must be
in the saddle.
At the annual meeting Of 1914 the
Polo association voted to raise the
height limit, mainly to conform with
the requirements of the army an6
thereby simplify the problem Of q
government supply of mounts for
army players. The new rule was
"Mounts-The height Of mounts shall
not exceed 1871 hands,"
Subsequently, n letter Of explana.

that the two universities were arrnng-

THE ROADS.

There is some question as TO
where the gravel roads will pass.
1t is, in our mind, a matter of
easy solution. We build roads for
business and convenience. We
consider that the first roads TO
consider, are Terrace to Duchamp,
the main road from the Iberia line
to the Lafayette line. passing
through Cade. and if there is mo-
ney enough, the road to the long
Bridge and the Bayou Tortue
road. This would give US a fine
system, reach all sections of the
district and serve all purposes.
1t is not. reasonable to believe
or expect that the board can carry
out the idea or the wish OF every
individual. We must expect that
they will have enough judgment
to protect the best interest of the
greatest number, and not to court
few individuals fearing their OPP
position.
We cannot build roads for few
selfish individuals We must build
for the benefit of the greatest
number.

The Leader in Men Clothes

Most of us are blessed with SC
many relatives and friends that we
do not realize what il is to be alone
in the world. There are some
though who have no one to lean
ON, who feel chat they must fight
their battles alone, must rely only
on themselves. To some DISPOSE
tions this may not be SO hard but
with many it is bitter cup. Bur-
denS become SO small if there are
other shoulders to help with the
load, temptations can be overcome
if there is some friendly hand to
draw you aside, problems are not
so difficult to solve if there is some
one who understands them to give
assistance. But to feel all alone,
that you cannot call on anyone,
cannot turn a single soul! If we
as Christians knew what q friend
ly hand extended at such a time
meant, what a kindly word of
counsel could do, we would be
more generous in our giving Our
weather brother and sister would
not fall if We put our arms about
them in a loving way Instead of
and criticizing. We
do not have to say much, we Just
have to show that we are interest
ed and that We sympathize and
that we are eager to serve in low
ing way. We know what it means
to feel. that our Father has His
arms about us. We know how Sc
cure we are if we keep our hands
in His and that no stream is too
deep to cross and no mountain too
steep to climb if our Savior leads
the way. So let us lead our weak
or sisters and brothers and put our
arms about them so that they may
not stumble and fall. Elk.

Charlton Vaccination.
TO THE LIVE STOCK OWN.
ERS OF THE STATE.

Due TO the prevalence of char.
bon infection, in various section.
OF the State, this Board earnestly
advises early incubation, or vacci.
nation. this season on the part of
the live stock owners in order to
anticipate any probable outbreaks
OF this disease and for the purpose
OF having their stock protected in
ample time before the advent of
warm weather. which is the char
bon season..
Past experience has demonstra-
ted that best results are obtained
when animals are vaccinated
against Charlton early in the Spring
so as to allow Il sufficient time. in
which to secure protection, before
the season approaches, when char
bon infection usually develops.
The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board strongly urges, therefore,
that, in those sections of the State
in which Charlton infections has
been known to exist in previous
years, vaccination of animals
should be commenced no later
than the early part of March.
IL stock owners will give this
matter their careful attention. it
will increase the number of pro-
tected animals at the beginning of
the Charlton season and materially
limit the spread of the disease.
should the coming Summer prove
favorable to the development of
Charlton infection.
