Sow A Smile.

A voice across the telephone
Can make or mar the day;
Be careful Of the tone you use,
And think of what you say.
Your pleasant smile cannot be seen,
Or know your kindly heart,
For people at the telephone
Are often miles apart.
The girl who answers Central
Has a score Of lines to mind,
Mistakes are sure to happen,
So be patient and be kind.
For life is like garden,
Where our daily acts are grown;
And as nature hath ordained it,
We will reap as we have sown.
Then SOW a ''smile" and reap a
"smile"
And in the end you'll find
That nothing pays more interest
Than the art of being kind.

LOUISIANA BREAKS THE
RECORD

Lake Charles, la.-l'hiS city of
$4,000 inhabitants has just set new
standard for the State in providing
for the education Of lis Colored pop
ulation. II has voted a bond issue
of S2O0,0OO, Sl50.0OO of which is TO
be spent in building and equipping
three brick schools for Negroes.
The vote was six TO one in favor Of
the issue, and the property majority
was even larger. Ample play
grounds are provided for; and Sup
erintendent Yeager is planning to
introduce industrial training as well.
Shreveport, Baton Rouge and
Alexandria have already put up sub
slanlial brick buildings for Colored
schools; and these, as well as the
vote at Lake Charles, are significant
of the growing belief in the state at
large of the moral and economic inn
portance of good schools for the Ne
