ing against the man who employs
them and by whom they are paid?
This is exampli6ed by the testi-
mony of school teacher who says
Mr.. Chavez told him. THAT he
would not stand for any disloyalty
among his corps of teachers"
That means that they must an
swer those questionaires favorably
to him. (Chavez.)
If after four, five or six years of
service as members of the School
Board these gentlemen are igno-
rant of the short comings of their
Superintendent and need testimo-
ny of the teachers, who are earn
ing their salaries through his
good graces, then it must neces-
sarily follow that they have been
delinquent as trustees of the
schools and the public and the
schools patrons should demand
their designations.
This is not a political fight al
though the two members from the
Fourth Ward were elected on al
Anti Chavez platform:
The schools of this parish were
built under a former President of
the School Board. whose name l
will not mention; but since then
any citizen having the welfare of
the schools at heart, can in order
to satisfy himself take a trip
throughout the parish and visit
the different school buildings and
find out that they are in a state of
dilapidation and disintegration.
Not coat of paint, not nail, not
a fence picket has been replaced
since they were built. Now we
we'll know the superintendent has
charge of these buildings and is
supposed to report these matters
to the school board. Has he done
so or is the school board as guilty
as he is? Let the public Judge
what action the school board will
take at the trial of Mr.. Chavez,
however, the school board as far as
the public is concerned cannot
shift the responsibilities of this
investigation to the shoulders of
the poor school teachers

Investigation A Farce.

To the Editor of the Messenger,
st. Martinville, La.
Dear Sir:
The Sheriff of the Parish of ST..
Martin and the President of the
Police Jury have set an example
in the campaign for the gravel
roads that should be emulated by
all political bodies of the Parish
of st. Martin.
Michel Fournet and Wade Mar
tin eliminated politics, travelled in
the same automobile, made
speeches from the same stand to
carry the last bond issue of $780,
10000 in order that the Parish of
st. Martin might take her place
with her sister parishes.
Now it strikes me that the
School Board should follow their
example eliminate politics from
their deliberations and only keep
in mind the welfare of the educa-
BILE children Of the Parish.
The question at issue is of the
efficiency of the Parish Superin-
tendent, F. o. Chavez. Every
member of the School Board
knows or should know that Mr..
Chavez's inattention to his duties
as Superintendent has brought
the Public School system of the
Parish of st. Martin in a deplora-
BILE condition, and if these men,
bers do not know of these facts ii
is passing strange. irregardless of
political factions or of political
affiliations, he is as Superinten-
dent of the Schools unanimously
and universally condemned in his
administration of the school affairs
The Superintendent cannot draw
the lines of the political factions
! in order to save himself for the
reason that the Hon. Wade Mar.
tin, Joe Duchamp and all the lead.
ers of his own faction, agree that
he should have been deposed two
or three years ago, and that the
school would have been benefited
by that operation.
1t is alleged and rumored that
the committee appointed by the
School Board has formulated a SCI
of questionaires to be submitted to
the respective teachers of the diff.
ferent schools of the Parish fol
answer:
This is farcical and a delusion
How i: the name of common senct
can men elected as School Direc.
tors be SO simple as to think thai
these poor teachers, working for a
livelihood, can afford to place theil

JOHNNY RULE WAS RIGHT

Once there was skeptic. A skep-
tic is one who declares he knows
nothing about anything, and becomes
very angry when you agree with him.
This skeptic did not believe there
were any natural blends. He was so
doubtful about everything that he
would even put mucilage on the
backs of postage stamps. This skep-
tic was also merchant. He also did
not believe in advertising. It hap
pened a. one time he needed a night
Waterman. He supposed reliable
night watchmen were plentiful. As
a matter of fact they are rarer than
dividends. None of the merchants
acquaintance professed any anxiety
to assume the place, so he was forced
to advertise in the '>Nant" column
of local newspaper that his estab-
lishment needed Is:ght Waterman.
He did not believe this advertise
ment would bring the desired results.
He was right. But the following
morning he found that his store had
been burglarized three times during
the night. Surely" he reflected,
''if burglars are responding so read
lily to advertising perhaps the law
abiding classes are influenced by it.
Henceforth / shall advertise my
wares. Exchange

unless weeds become troublesome.
Many crops are cut short by stop
ping cultivation because the corn is
too tall to use a double cultivator
without breaking down the stalks. If
conditions demand, continue shall
low cultivation even though the corn
is tasseling. 1t is sometimes profit
able to remove weeds even by the
costly process of hand labor at as
late date as the silking of the corn.
Under some conditions six or eight
civilizations are advisable, while un
der other conditions three may be
sufficient. The maximum yield is
not obtained by the number of culti-
vations, but by keeping the soil in
the proper condition.
