There had never been one word sale

him slam out of his Office a few min

from the rack as he passed without

called to her sharply. She was glad
when it was time to go home, and then
ut the last minute, there was call for
her over the wire, and it was his
voice.
"Say, I'm awfully sorry, Miss Rob
erts. but I didn't give any dictation
this morning, and I've got some letters
that must be answered. If had them

She agreed to wait in almost a
whisper, so that neither Paul nor the
office boy could hear. Miss Searles
was the regular stenographer. but
when she was filled up with dictation
from the senior member of the firm,
Margaret had often acted fer the ju-

he had not asked Miss Searles, unless
it was because he trusted her, and did
not want his father to know he was

rather a sad commentary upon the
oId-time farmers that the boys taking
courses at these institutions under the
guidance of the agricultural teach
ers, are producing on the same soil
that their fathers have cultivated, and
are now cultivating, frequently five
times as much product as their
fathers.
This point is we'll illustrated by
case at Carencro, where young man
on two acres produced over two bales
of cotton during the past season in
the same field that his father Guilt
waited when his father only produced
one-fifth of a bale per acre, or two
bales on ten acres.
These schools have had this effect,
that the best yielding crops of corn,
cotton and cane have been produced
this year on hill land that can be pur-
chased from SO to $35 per acre, and
that can be fortified with st. Landry
soil.
Many people of st. Landry are APP
parently content with present meth
DDS of agriculture and the production
of twenty barrels of corn to the acre,
but such an institution that you pro-
pose for the training and develop
ment of your young men will demon
strate so conclusively to their fathers
that st. Landry parish can produce
seventv-five barrels of corn, or bale
of cotton, just as easy as it is produc'
ing the low yield of today, that II

ture. This school will do more thar

SOUIRES BOOSTS
PROPOSED SCHOOL
Publicity Agent of Greater Ag-
ricultural College Speaks
Good Word for Us

L. L. Squires, known throughout
Louisiana as one of the biggest boost
ers ever reared in this state, publ
city manager of the extensive cam
paign presently being waged for the
Greater Agricultural College, writes /
the secretary of the Chamber OF /
Commerce a very flattering letter
about the recent move for an agrl-
cultural school for this parish. Where
Mr.. Souires got his information no
one knows, but it is fact, alright
that the Chamber of Commerce was
presented with tentative plans for a
bigger and better school building for
Opelousas by the secretary OF the
organization, backed by Superln-
tendent w. B. Prescott.
The plan as outlined includes an
agricultural department, where the
bovs and girls of st. Landry could
he educated free of cost, and which
I would give st. Landry an oppOrtunl-
ty of showing to advantage its Won
derful resources. The plans have not
been worked out in concrete form
vet. but Mr.. Prescott, working in con-
junction with the Chamber of Com
merce, is preparing plans to be sub
mitted during the early part OF 1879
TO the taxpayers of st. Landry.
Following is Mr.. Squires' letter to
Secretary Andrepont of the Chamber
of Commerce.
Baton Rouge, La, Nov. s, 1919.
Mr.. L. A. Andrepont, Secretary,
