A Bear, a Ford, a Mail Carrier.

Mr. c. G. Cooper, mail carrier on
Route 1, was held up by big black
bear Monday on the public road near
Sunfower. Mr.. Cooper was travelling
in a Ford car and when turning
curve in the road, the bear suddenly
appeared and upon discovering the
car, made an attack. Mr.. Cooper
took instant flight and made a re-
cord in landing safely in the limbs
of a near by tree while the bear took
charge of the Ford, evidently trying
to locate the six cents damages

Parish School Board, Parish of ST.
Tammany, Covington, La:
Gentlemen:-We, the undersigned
patrons Of the Lewisburg school. I'M
derstanding as we do, that a petit
ton to your honorable body is be-
mig circulated for the purpose of
having you consolidate the Lewis
burg and Vaudeville schools, re-
specially petition you to give due
consideration to the facts enumerat-
ed below, why such consolidation
would not be practical, and lend
your decision accordingly:
1. The number Of children in the
Lewisburg district who have to be
sent to Vaudeville on account of
having passed higher grades than is
taught in the Lewisburg school.
forms such a small percentage that
its number is insignificant.
2. Those children who have pass
ed the grades taught at the Lewis
burg school will be compelled to at
tend at Vaudeville, regardless of
whether the Lewisburg school is
operated or not, therefore any argu
ment along this line is easily Offset.

3. The children attending the
Vaudeville school must necessarily
be of such an age that they are.
more or less, able to take care of
themselves, therefore, not SO muck
care, annoyance, and responsibility
to the transfer driver, as younger
one would be-
f.. The transferring of children
to another school must surely work
hardships on the parents and child
rem, IN that the children are away
from home the best portion of the
day, and compelled to stay up nights
to complete their home work; and
the parents are required to go to a
good deal Of discomfort in prepar-
ing earlier breakfasts and lunches
for them.
5. The LeWisburg school is so
centrally located that all attending
children reside within a stones
throw of the school, therefore the
school is easily accessible in any
kind of weather.
6. The consolidation of the two
schools will mean additional trans
ferring expenses, both for convey
ance and driver, all OF which could

mining the foundation of the west
end of the building. If I am cor
rect, it will be necessary to con-.
struct wings Or side walls to the
west end of the drain in order to
cause all water to pass through the
drain instead of any passing on the
outside, and your advice on this
matter seems necessary at this time.
With the consent of the Second
Ward School Director, | have in
structed Mr.. Bernard COMMENCE to
repair the Folsom school house roof
at a price of S294.00. He agrees to
furnish abor and material for plac-
ing one-half sheet corrugated iron
over each lap in the roof, and to
nail same with galvanized nails and
solder all nail holes. He will also
flash with galvanized iron around
the louvre ventilator and flash and
counter flash chimney. He agrees
that this shall be done in first class
manner and guarantees the roof free
from leaks for two years.
The following letter and petition
from patrons of the LeWisburg
Pschool has been received by me:
Hon. E. E. Lyon, Supt. of Public
Education, Covington, La.
Dear Sir:-Herewith YOU will find
petition, which, together with this
letter, l would thank you to have
presented and considered at the next
meeting of your board.
In addition to the facts enumerat-
ed in the petition, it has come to our
knowledge that several of the par
ties who signed the petition to have
The schools consolidated cannot con-
scientiously call themselves patrons
of the Lewisburg school for the rea-
son that they have no children at
tending the Lewisburg school, and
are only interested in the higher
grades taught by the school at Man
deville. Now, not one OF us object
to Vaudeville becoming a high
school, but we do seriously object
if that will be done to the discom-
fort of the patrons of the LeWisburg
school,
We understand also that some OF
the parties who signed the petition
to consolidate the schools were led
| to believe that tnat was tne VIII VI
all the patrons of the LeWisburg
school, and that no petition to the
contrary was being circulated,
whereupon, as patrons of the school,
they signed the first petition to be
in the majority.
On the other hand when the meet
| ing was held at the school house Tor
the purpose of determining the will
of the people, only small percent
age Of the patrons was represented,
and all the patrons were not notified
of the holding of such a meeting in
due time.
Thanking you to present this pc
tition and letter to your board. and
hoping that in taking any action
your decision will be the result OF
careful study to the needs and re-
ouirements of our community, l am,
Very respectfully,

THE GIRL AND HER
SAVINGS,

The average girl in our
city who eac hday walks by
our bank on her way to
work or school Or on any
other mission little realizes
how much the bank would
mean 10 her if she would
only take advantage Of its
opportunities. 1t may mean
an education, or it may
mean trousseau, or it may
mean any one Of the many
comforts and Injuries that
a little money laid aside can
procure.
The habit Of thrift and
saving when developed in
youth will manifest itself
when the girl reaches Wo-
manhood and Wifehood. 1t
makes her more attractive
to the man who chooses her
for his life mate. Many a
marriage has been made a
complete success by the sim
pie fact that the wife knew
how to save as a girl ana
later taught her husband
the same useful and help
full lesson.
The start may be small,
only % or, so cents a week.
perhaps, but it Is a start
and it is worth the making.

ed or applied so as to diminish tho pro-
lection already accorded to workers by
the existing laws of any of the high
contracting parties"
The intention OF the clause Is to
safeguard legislation already in effect
in any country which might be regard
cd by that country as better for the
workers than that recommended by the
Labor Bureau. The report was largely
a discussion Of the Seamen's Act In the
United States and recognition OF the
possibility that the bureau might make
recommendations on that subject which,
while improving the condition OF sesn,en
generally. would not measure up to the
ste ndard fixed by the United States.
The Labor Commission has definitely
decided that the findings Of the bureau
must be supported by moral suasion In
countries where special problems exist
rather than by invoking any force the
League Of Nations might offer.
