First Annual Meeting of the Louisiana
Jefferson Highway Association.

TITSL annual NtCcttHk vi thC
Jefferson Highway Association.
The first annual meeting of the
Louisiana Jefferson Highway As
ISOLATION was held in the city of
New Orleans on Wednesday Jan.
Is, 1919, with delegates present
from seventeen parishes through
which the Jefferson Highway
runs, about ninety delegates and
visitors being present. Grant
parish was represented by c. H..
Teal, j. M. Wardlow, B. S. Sim
mons and H. G. Goodwin, all of
whom attended.
A good State organization was
perfected and a board of seven
was elected, two from New Or
leans, one from Shreveport, and
four form intermediate points,
among the latter being j. w.
Duncan, of Colfax.
A permanent committee of
seventeen was appointed, one
from each parish traversed by the
highway, to consult with the
State Highway Department and
represent each individual parish
in such matters as may concern
them. Considerable discussion
arose over this question as to
whether a smaller committee
would not answer, but Mr.. J. w.
Duncan's motion for a committee
man from each parish finally
carried.
A great deal of interest and
enthusiasm was nifestthrough
out the morning and evening
sessions. and the exchange of
views will greatly help along the
highway enterprise of Louisiana.
On Thursday, Jan. 16. the in
ternational board of directors
which controls the highway from
Winnipeg to New Orleans began
a two days meeting, and num-
Der of the parish delegates re-
NAMED over to see the beginning
of their session. Directors from
seven States were present.
The Grant parish delegation
were greatly pleased to find Mr..
Duncan Buie, chief of the State
highway department. fully in
terested in the Jefferson High
way, and he assured the associa-
ton that the department stood
pledged to give each and every
parish all the State and Federal
aid possible whenever they quail
fled under the law to receive aid.

United States
Votes Dry
ThIrty-Seyen States Ratify Prohibi.
ton Amendment Effective
in 1920

Washington, Jan. 16. Nation
al prohibition by constitutional
amendment was accomplished by
the United States today in just
thirteen months, lacking one day,
after the joint resolution by Con-
gress was submitted to the states
for ratification. Nebraska came
through today as the thirty-sixth
state to ratify and was quickly
followed by Missouri. giving one
more than the necessary three
fourths.
Fourteen of the 81 states which
have approved the resolution
have certified their action to the
state department. A question
as to the effective date of the
amendment was raised today by
a statement of Senator Sheppard
of Texas that the country would
go dry a year from today. Other
students of the question held that
ratification would not be complet-
ed until one year from formal
certification by the thirty-sixth
state.
Possibility of a difference Of
months in the calculations of the
effective date was foreseen.
Mississippi, the first state to rati-
fly the amendment, has not yet
certified its action to the state
department, although the affirm
ative vote on the amendment was
taken more than a year ago, jan
uary 8, 1918.
Prohibition leaders regard the
effective date as a matter of
small moment, however, mas
much as countrywide prohibi-
ton is ordered July l by the war
measure passed by Congress to
conserve grains. That measure
remains in force until after de-
mobilization of the military forces
is completed, which many think
will not be before the constitu-
tional amendment is operative.
The states which have ratified
the amendment are as follows:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois,
Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mary
land, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,
North Dakota, North Carolina,
New Hampshire, Nebraska, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, South Caro-
lima, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washing
ton and West Virginia.
Eleven states have not taken
final action. They are:
Minnesota, Nevada, N e W
Jersey, New Mexico, New York,
Connecticut. Rhode Islad, Penn
sylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin
and Wyoming.

new PICTURE RECALLS
EVELYN NESBIT'S CAREER
Successful in Musical Comedy And
Vaudeville Before Screen Debut.

A new photodrama, with Evelyn
Nesbit featured as it's principal play
er, is an attraction the coming of
which to the Grand Opera House to-
morrow (Tuesday) night, is bound
to arouse widespread interest. There
is no actress on the speaking stage
or in the film studios of the country
who enjoys a greater personal popu-
larity or who has displayed his
trionic talent worthy of more sincere
admiration. First the musical COM
edy, next vaudeville, and finally to
the screen she lent her beauty and
her acting powers, and in each field
her efforts have been rewarded by
success Of the most gratifying dimen
slons. Patrons of motion picture
| houses of the first class remember
her performance in Redemption"
and these especially will welcome the
! opportunity of seeing the gifted
! pecially with her in mind for the por-
trayal of the principal role-a role
which the most conservative critics
! unhesitatingly admit exactly fits her
methods and capabilities, and gives
! her an opportunity such as she new
er before has had. The piece is
! called Her Mistake" 1t is the story
| of a girl of the woods, naive and
unsophisticated, who by the manners
and apparent sincerity of a youth
/ from the nearby city, accepts his pro-
! his wife. 1t is not until after she
| has become a mother that she learns
that never has he been free of the
net woven about him by a conscien-
celess siren, and an attempt to es-
cape from which was the reason for
his initial visit to the girls home.
With the wife's discovery Of her
husbands faithlessness, the drama
reaches its climacteric point. The
story leads thence to it's denounce-
ment in a series of surprising situa-
tions, to divulge which in advance
would tined to rob the spectator of a
measurable degree of the thrill that
otherwise he will most surely expert
ence.
Miss Nesbit has been surrounded
by an excellent cast. Her son, Rus
sell Thaw, has al. important role, and
in addition to him the presenting
company includes Eugene Strong,
Lois Meredith and Charles Wellesley.

BOLD BURGLAR TAKES
HORSE AND CARRIAGE
Enters Stable of Mr.. Daniel c. Cork
ran, at Rhodesdale, Saturday
Night And Gets Horse, Carriage,
Harness And Blanket-NIay Have
Robbed Freight Office Also.

A bold burglar, who was determin :
ed to leave that portion of the coun-
try, entered the stables of Mr.. Dan
iel c. Corkran, a prosperous farmer,
living at Rhodesdale. Saturday
night, and helped himself to a horse,
carriage, harness and blanket, APP
parently being determined to fit him
self out right while he was about it.
Mr.. Corkran and his family heard
nothing during the night to arouse
their suspicious, and were greatly
surprised upon going to the barn
yesterday morning to feed. to find
that one of the horses was missing.
Further investigation showed also
the other articles missing. Fortu-
nately for Mr.. Corkran, the burglar
did not get one of his best horses,
but contented himself with an old
one.
AS the freight house at Rhodes
dale was also robbed the same night,
it seems more than likely that the
burglar used the team to get away
with his booty, which consisted, so
far as can be learned, of four gal
Ions of whiskey. AS the first of Jul
ly approaches, some lovers of liquors
have become holder and holder in
their depredations, as the robbery re-
ported from Rhodesdale is only one
of number that have occurred in
the county during the past few
weeks.
The authorities are keeping a
close watch for the guilty party OR
parties, and have notified the au-
thorities in Delaware and the sur
rounding counties to be on the look
out for a team answering the descrip-
ton of the one stolen.

Asks for Quick Decision
in Wheat Case; Means
Mach Money to Farmers

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct. 31.-An-
other appeal to H. D. Irwin, vice pres
ident Of the United States Grain cor
poratlon, asking for an immediate de-
ciSlon in the test case involving the
prices pad to farmers for wheat by
many of the Indiana grain dealers, was
sent by Lewis Taylor, general secre-
tary Of the Indiana Federation of
Farmers associations. Thursday
The case has been hanging fire for
several weeks, and, according to Of
ficers Of the federation, means at
least 100000 to Indiana farmers if
a ruling is handed down in their IA
vor to the effect that $211 for No. l
wheat is not fair reflection of the
governments guarantee price Mr.
Taylor said that most of the elevators
are paying $2.15 for No. l wheat, and
S2.13 for No. wheat at the present
time, but that hundreds or thousands
of bushels were sold on the $21l
basis before the grain dealers increas-
ed their figures.
Mr.. Taylor said yesterday that if
favorable ruling is received steps will
be taken to collect the difference paid
to the farmers and the fair price nam
ed by the United States Grain corpo-
ration.
