Red Trousers of French
Soldiers Among War Losses

The red trousers of the French
army are to be no more. There is q
political and economical tragedy
about 1t with which very few people
are familiar. The originator OF the
red trousers was Napoleon, who was
prompted in his reform" by a desire
to help the native cultivation Of mad
der root-at that time and for many
centuries previously the chief source
of red color throughout the world
against the Dutch and Italian rivals,
AS a result, the industry expanded
considerably. and some fifty years
ago was worth nearly S2.000,000

But then came the aebe-Lieber-

MORE SPEECHES
STOP SENATE'S
SHANTUNC VOTE
Adoption of Textual Amend
ments Would Mean Defeat
of Treaty-Colt.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1e.-The plan
of senate leaders for vote today on
the Shantung amendment to the peace
treaty were abandoned "Wednesday
afternoon because Of the number OF
senators who desire to speak. A vote
may be taken tomorrow.
Adoption of textual amendments
would mean defeat Of the peace treaty
and would accomplish no practical re
suit that could not be brought about
by reservations, the senate was told
by Senator L. B. Colt, Republican,
Rhode Island.
Referring to the Shantung amend
ment and that proposed to equal1ze
voting power in the League Of Nations
the Rhode Island senator declared
they would reopen peace negotiations
while reservations would leave the
treaty intact and would change its
provisions only for the reserving
nation.
1t would be unfair. he argued, to
increase the voting power OF the Unit
ed States as proposed in the amend
ment of Senator Hiram Johnson, Re
publican, California, and leave the
other first-class powers with only one
vote in the assembly.
Senator John X. Shields, Of Tennes
eign Relations Committee, speaking
against the Shantung amendment. said
disposition of the Shantung rights was
a question not directly concerning This
country.

Proclamation by the Governor.

Because God, in the victory
for righteousness. and for the
peace He has given US, has given
US occasion for great joy, and be-
cause joy is an emotion that can
be best expressed in song, and
because singing is one of the
greatest unifying and nationaliz-
ing influences, and because the
week of Washington's birthday
has been designated as a nation
al week of song, / deem it es-
pecially appropriate at this time
to suggest that the week of Feb
ruary 16 to %, inclusive, be set
aside for the singing of such
songs as will express our joy,
awaken a love for God and coun-
try, stimulate a true spirit of de-
votion and loyalty, unite US in
our civic interests and develop
that spirit of brotherhood which
will make us greater nation.
Let this be done in all schools
and churches and let special COM
munity song programs be carried
out by all choral societies, well
fare circles, women's clubs,
mems clubs, and kindred organ
izations. Further, 1 trust that
at 8 o'clock on the evening of
February %, all citizens, where
ever assembled, rise and sing all
four verses of my Country, IT'S
of Thee" Let this be done in
schools, churches. theaters, clubs
or lodges, or wherever else peo-
pie may be congregated at the
time-even in their homes. AL
so. may all programs of that
evening be closed with the sing
ing of 1.-THE Star Spangled Ban
ner."
In faith whereof l hereunto

fixed the seal of the State of
Louisiana, at the capital, in the
city of Baton Rouge, on this, the
twenty-fourth day of January,

How Highway Building Awaited Peace.

How Highway building Awaited feace'
The average citizen hardly
comprehends the extent to which
highway building has been held
back in the United States until
after the declaration of peace.
The weekly Washington News
Letter states that although $14.-
$50, 600 was available for expend-
iture on the post roads from the
Federal aid road act, only $425, :
445 was paid from Federal funds
IN the highway construction sea-
son of 1918 on all projects. The
reason for this, according to the
annual report of tse Secretary of
Agriculture, was the steps taken
to conserve money labor, trans
portation and materials in high
way work during the war, and
at the same time to facilitate
really essential highway projects.
At the conclusion of the war,
in connection with the Federal
aid road work a letter was adj
dressed to each State highway
department asking that pro-
gram of Federal aid construction
be submitted at the earliest pos
sible date, in which would be in
cluded only those projects which
the State highway departments
considered vitality necessary to
the transportation facilities of
the country.
This action has had the effect
of causing 2235 applications to
be made to the government, and
practically all of them found
to be worthy of consideration
have been granted aid. That is,
all of them complying with the
State and Federal requirements
necessary to get aid. The set
tied policy of the government is
to help all communities which
show a disposition to help them
selves.

to be worth many millions of
dollars to the government and
to the people of the United
States to obey this rule as to the
observance of time. The use of
daylight saves time and money
in the conservation of wood and
coal, gas oil and electrical power,
and forces a nation of late Sleep
ers to rise and get to work an

ways.
In relation to the visit of Mr..
j. D. Clarkson to Winfield,
about which we received a tele-
phone message last week just as
we were going to press, we have
a note from Mr.. John L. Cal
houn saying Mr.. Clarkson arrived
in Winfield on the night of Feb.
10. and that they now have six
ty-four members of the VIM
Parish Jefferson Highway Club
who have paid their annual dues
of SIS each. and they expect to in
crease their membership to 100.
He says the VIM parish folks
are talking about a lateral high
way to intersect the Jefferson
Highway at or near St. Maurice.
we suggest that the highway
approved by the State Highway
Department, intersecting tn e
Jefferson Highway near Aloha
and going to Winfield via Verda,
is perhaps a more practical and
generally desired highway than
the one mentioned by Mr.. Cal
houn. Such a road, if built up
on the standard required by the
State and Federal authorities,
would be able to obtain State
and national aid for construction
and maintenance in the ratio of
about dollar for dollar for all the
money the parish would put into
the proposition.

Colfax Merchants Should Cut Down
Their Profits.


A farmer from the hills who
was in Colfax this week, while
commenting on the bad road
leading into the hills, remarked
incidently that it didn't make
much difference just now be-
cause the farmers did not care
to use it coming to Calfax as
they could get supplies at Dry
Prong and Bentley cheaper than
they can here.
On being pressed closely for
some definite figures, after con-
ming over a comparison he had
made with neighbor, he gave
us the following: Colfax sells
potatoes 95 cents a sack higher
than the hill towns. oats $1.05
a sack higher, and flour 2215
cents higher. The last sale be-
ing where parties took two sacks
at time.
Some other prices were named,
but these are sufficient for us to
suggest to our merchants that it
would be well for them to cut
down their profits.

from ]. B. Reynolds, secretary

teeman. and DR.. D. A. Lines was

was secretary of the Republican

Cohen went to Baton Rouge
and filed the certificate with the
Secretary of State. Mr.. Rey-
nolds also sent to Mr.. Bailey a
copy of the agreement that had
been entered into between the
two factions. When asked as to
whether the Old Line Republic
cans would take in any of the
Lily Whites, Cohen said:
I'VE will welcome all Republic
cans, but we certainly won't per-
nit a lot of Office seekers to reg
lister as Democrats and partici-
pate in a Democratic primary,
and after being defeated to then
come into the Republican party

of a Republican president to try
