Ventilation.

The mayor of Terre Haute the other day appointed a number of the city schoolma' 'ams to do special police duty, such as to seeing to the ventilating of stores, etc, says the Indianapolis News. Miss Margaret KiIroy, a high school teacher, being one Of those ap- pointed, visited q number of stores. In one the manager became indignant as she explained the necessity of his do ing more ventilation. "Why, it's very warm here" she complained, unbutton- ing her coat and revealing a georgette crepe waist.
 "Yentilating doesn't have anything to do with It." protested the man. "Why, 99 per cent of the cases of flu in this country have been caused by the wearing of georgette crepe waists"
 He was actually ready to smile when back came Miss Kilroy's cool re joinder: q suppose that explains the great number of cases in the United States army, then"

MODEL ON AMERICAN CLUBS
France Considering Adoption of Our Methods of Teaching Farming to
 Boys and Girls.

France is considering the adoption of Uncle Sam's methods of teaching better farming and home making to boys and girls. Representatives from the French high commission, lately in this country, made a point of studying carefully the methods of the federal department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges in conduct ing boys and girls clubs. Much of the information thus collected has been widely reprinted by the French press, accompanied by editorial com ment expressing the view that, the man or woman power of France hay war service, France for some time to come will be dependent in large part upon its younger population for it's food supply and suggesting the forma- ton in France of a nationwide system of boys and girls clubs patterned on those in America. It is expected that these clubs will grow staple products garden produce, wool, farm grain and forage crops, poultry and farm animals on farms not devastated, the very soil of which must first of all be put In condition. They will stimulate production by the young people of France through organized contests not only in farming but in home enter prises such as bread making garment making, cooking and home manage ment

TALK OF AUSTRIA'S
 NATURALIZATION

Paris, Friday, March 14-Unoffi- cial discussion of the possible neu- tralization of Austria is continuing g here. The plan apparently has strong support among the Austrian conser- Tative forces, especially the church and the Christian socialists.
 The movement for the neutraliza- ton of the Austrian TyroI is more de- finite than that for the remainder of Austria, because of the protection such naturalization would afford Italy. It is also suggested that the Austrian canton of Noralberg be an neXed to Switzerland.
 The Swiss are uneasy over the pos sibility of a union between Germany and German Austria and unofficiaIIy have advised the peace delegates of the Swiss view that the virtual en- velopment of Switzerland by the Ger mans under such a plan would threaten SwitzerIand's future

 That was too much for the local camp man and he jumped to his feet, holding up his hand to the man at the piano to stop. Then he shouted:

IENsAs LOSES TWO GOOD CITIZENS.

Judge E. r. E. Kimbrough and Mr..
and Mrs. c. w. Swallow, who have
been living on "Sunnyside" planta-
ton, in this parish, for the past three
years, having recently disposed of
this magnificent property, have left
here, Judge Kimbrough returning to
his old home at Danville, Illinois,
while Mr.. and Mrs. Swallow will To-
cate at Gallon, Alabama. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Swallow will engage in
livestock business, in which Judge
Kimbrough will be interested The
Judge, however, will devote his per-
sonsl attention more to mis- banking
interests in Illinois, paying occasional
visits to the cattle ranch in Alabama.
During the three years that Judge
Kimbrough and Mr.. Swallow have
lived with us they have been most
useful citizens and were decided
acquisitions to the social and COM
mercial life of our town and parish.
In every public movement contribute
ing to community betterment both of
these gentlement have taken leading
parts and have used their combined
influence to the improvement and up
building of our local commonwealth.
When the United States entered the
great world war and bratorical talent
was invited by the nation to explain
the causes that led us to engage in
the conflict and to inflame the hearts
Of our countrymen to the burning
questions of the hour, including the
several Liberty Loans, Judge Kim
brough Immediately rendered the
strength of his mighty intellect and
eloquent voice and delivered addresses
not only in Tensas but in other par
ishes Of the state, every where being
received with greatest enthusiasm.
In him our parish had an able repre-
sentative and his service to his
country was in keeping with his bril-
liant attainments.
In the departure of Judge Kim
brough and Mr.. Swallow Tensas has
lost two valuable citizens, men who
will be greatly missed in the social,
moral and commercial welfare OF our
parish. We wish them we'll in what
ever field they may enter. Mrs.
Swallow and little Cal had many
friends among our people who re-
greet their leaving.
