Did you ever hear of live town "a
a live community in which the mer-
chants were not as body both pros
porous and progressive!
Community buy ing and selling sim
,lv means the trading of none from
one interest to another, thereby keep
ing as large per cent as possible of To-
cally produced wealth AZ home.
Take for example your expenditures
with your dry goods merchant. lie IL
turn patronizes the grocer, druggist,
hardware dealer, doctor, lawyef, den
fist etc. Then, too the salaries of ais
employees are also to a large extent
spent with various local establish
ments.
Also in localities where home t'"d
ing is practiced, merchants pdrehase
many local products, thus turning BACK
to patrons some of the money spent
by them.
No one wants to live in a dead COM
munity, and it would be well to pear
in mind the fact that upon the amount
of business transacted by your mer'
chants depends tie development OF the
community as well as the prosperity
of the citizenship.

SCHOOL LEAGUE MEETING.

The school finances this year are
such that the School League is needed
more than ever, if our High School is
to still continue as one of the best of
its size in the State. Owing to the
fact that under present financial con-
ditions the Parish School Board can
not guarantee more than tae very ac-
tual running expenses Of the school,
il is up to the Ladies' School League
to provide for the other essentials that
are necessary for the general progress
of the school,. The needs are many,
for the wants Of six or seven hundred
children are manifold and should be
taken care of. In order to properly
attend these matters 4 social meeting
