Beauregard Parish Has a Live Com
munity Club.

6eouregarQ Parish has q Live CON-
munity Club.
''The best community organi-
cation / have ever seen is the
Boosters Club at Longacre, 7"
reports C. c. Chapman, farm
demonstration agent of Beaure-
gard parish. ''The club is right
ly named /; the members are
boosters in the true sense of the
word. They own their building,
known as the community house,
andhave meetings twice a month
at which topics of interest are
discussed.
THE community house is fur
nishedt with comfortable chairs,
a piano and a stage. A large
service flag on the wall bears II
stars, one of which is of gold,
showing that these people have
helped carry the war burden.
1T WAS my good fortune to
attend a recent meeting of this
club. A regular order of bust
ness was carried out, an import
ant item of which was the decis-
ion to plant 100 acres df peanuts
for commercial purposes, and to
put in a picker to handle the
crop.
After the business meeting a
good musical program was rem
dered by the ladies and coffee
and sandwiches were served"

Terms of Peace to the Germans.
We are pleased this week to
print a synopsis of the Allies
terms to Germany on our 4th

buncomb and sensational matter
being printed about the Germans
refusing to sign this peace
treaty. They will sign it on or
before May %, or the Allies will
take steps to enforce its pro-
visions. and that is all there is
to it.

Attention School Patrons and Tax-Pay.
ers.

Attention School Patrons and Tax-Pay-
The Board of States Affairs
and the State Department OF
Education have and are urging
upon the several parishes of the
State the substitution of a par
ish-wide maintenance tax OF
sufficient millage to take the
place of all district maintenance
taxes.
The district system of school
support results in inequality of
taxation and inequality of educa-
tional opportunity, but with the
parish used as a unit of school
support taxation is equal and all
children enjoy equal education
al opportunities.
With the inequality of taxa
ton as now exists in Grant par
ish, caused by the district system
tor financing the schools. it is
out of the question for the Grant
parish school board to give equal
educational advantages to all of
the children of the parish, especi-
ally is this true since the State
Constitution as now amended
prohibits the people of any
school district from paying over
a five mills maintenance tax.
In view of the above facts as
set forth the Grant parish school
board on April 9Th, 1919, sub
mitted a parish-wide tax PROPOSE
ton to the taxpayers of Grant
for two and one-half mills main
tenance tax to be voted upon on
May 20, 1919, the polls opening
at z o'clock a. m. and closing at
5. clock p. M, and in the event
this proposition carries all dis
trict maintenance taxes are to
be abolished as per resolution
adopted by the school board.
The increase we hope to get
from the State over what we
have been receiving and a two
and one-haIf mills parish-wide
tax will run all the elementary
schools eight months and the
high schools nine. 1t is there
fore hoped that the voters will
go to the poll on May 20 and vote
solidly for this improved method
of maintenance for our schools.

Highway.

Getting Ready to Work on Jefferson
Highway.
The board of supervisors of
road district No. 8, composed of
wards one, six and seven, and
part of ward two, comprising
that part of west Grant parish
traversed by the Jefferson High
way, met at the court house on
Wednesday and organized by
electing John Randolph chair
man and H. L. Brian secretary.
The other members of the board
are w. A. Brownlee, G. H. Nc
Knight and DR.. I. j. Harrison.
The advertisement of the State
Highway Department is in hand
for the letting of the contract to
build 20. % miles of highway in
Grant parish. This will practi-
cally complete the 33-mile link OF
the Jefferson Highway through
Grant parish. The contract is
to be let out on June 9.
Owing to dispute as to the
location of a short Lateral road
of 215 miles in ward six running
into the Jefferson Highway the
board of supervisors have order
ed an election in that ward for
June IL. in order to determine
the location of the road by q
vote of the people. The exact
location of this short lateral
road is the only loop hole that
was not definitely settled when
our $3.50, 600 bond issue was vot.
ed, and it will be settled by q
vote upon the two competing
points in ward six.
The proceedings of the board
of supervisors and the advertise.
ment of the State Highway En-.
gineer will be found in the Chron.

notice of the matters above noted,
Beekeepers Should Gather Honey Now,
Now is the time to take the
honey from the beehives: do moi
wait until July or August fol
then it will be too late, according
to E. C. Davis, specialist in bee
culture, Extension Division, Lou.
isiana State University.
Many beekeepers lose money
by not taking the honey from
the hives at the proper time, .
says Mr.. Davis. 1t has long
since been learned that bees car
gather several hundred pounds
of honey some seasons and fill
the hives four or five times with
very little effort. Beekeepers
should go through their hives
now, take the surplus honey
from them and thus make room
for more. In most cases the
supers will be found clogged tt
their capacity. A little Later
the hives should be examined
again and the operation repeat.
ed.
Help the bees to make money
for you. Don't let them Grove
outside the hive, as they art
now doing, because there is ne
room inside for them. BY re
moving the honey they will b.
kept busy and contented. This
will also prevent swarming ano
the bees will produce much more
honey than they ever have be
fore.
