over the wires on the subject of dress
For fifteen or twenty minutes they
discussed the topic, from ruches to
furbelows. and they we're in the midst
of accordion plaits when strident
impatient, imperative masculine voice
broke up the symposium.
Ten-four-nine-two," the voice
yelled. "Are you there, Sam? All,
at last! Hello, who is that speak
ing?"
"What line do you think you are
on?" demanded one of the girls, in
dignant at being interrupted.
Really" came the weary and dis
gusted reply, II don't know; but from
the Cabling that is going on I think
I must be on the clothes line"

A "Helpful Hint"

Aunt Martha was frequently prais-
ed for her culinary skill. On one oc-
casion, when number of guests had
dined with the family, remark was
made concerning the beautiful ap-
pearance of Aunt Martha's pie, which
had pretty scallop on the edge.
Discussion arose as to how the
cook managed to maintain such an
even design on every pie, and Martha
was summoned to the dining room
and the question duly put to her.
The emotions of the guests may be
imagined when she replied:
ooh, dat's easy. All jes' uses nah
false teeth"

eclipse of of last summer in the
long stretch of continual terri

The track extends across South

also across equatorial Africa.
The duration of totality will be

Government Will Supply State Road
Equipment.

4 G4oARuASuts
Louisiana roadbuilding will re-
ceive another big boost in the
acquisition of a vast amount of
roadbuilding equipment which is
to be supplied by the federal
government, according to Dun
can Buie, head of the State High
way Department. Mr.. Buie re-
ceived the information in a tele-
gram from Washington. inquir-
ing just what equipment or ma
terials Louisiana required. The
head of the department is con-
WINGED this equipment will be al
most Immediately available.
Because of inadequate state
funds" said Mr.. Buie, this de-
partment has sadly needed a
modern and efficient roadbuilding
outfit. For this reason Louisi-
ana now lacks many roads which
would have been constructed by
this time"

The Natchitoches Cane River Colfax
Highway.

The Natchitoches Cane River Colfax
Highway.
The indications are that the
proposed highway from Natchi-
toches to Colfax along the Cane
river valley is to be put through
all right. A Natchitoches CORE
spondent writing to the Shreve-
port Times of the 18th in regard
to the meeting of May a has
this to say:
The joint committee from wards nine
and ten appointed to work out the de-
tails of building the proposed concrete
road from Natchitoches to Colfax met
here today and recommended that the
road be built down the east side of
Cane river. They will present petit
ton to police jury to create the road
district and order an election, etc.
They report much enthusiasm and pre-
dict an election to vote the tax neces-
sary to build the road will carry.
The decision of the Natchito-
ches people to build this high
way along Cane river to Colfax
is based on sound business prin-
ciples. 1t will give all Of the
people along Cane river whose
taxes will build the road a high
way at their doors. Besides this
it will give them direct connec-
ton with the State system of
highways leading to Winfield
and Ruston, Pollock and Monroe,
as we'll as Pineville, Alexandria
and south Louisiana.
So far as connection with the
proposed Alexandria Natchitoch-
es road is concerned, a short tap
of five or six miles, leading from
Galbraith to Chopin, will connect
the two roads. AS a matter of
fact the most feasible route from
Chopin to Natchitoches is up
the Cane river valley, and that
part of the road can be made to
serve for that project, thus saw
ing Natchitoches the enormous
expense of building about thirty
miles along the T. & P. railroad.
The geography Of the country
shows this.

Christian Giving and the Buying o
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamina.

There is a great disposition
among some people to refer to
their purchases of Liberty Bonds
and War Saving Stamps as
though it was a charitable con-
tribution. There is no charity
in the transaction. 1t is simply
a first-class investment in which
every dollar is safely preserved
and will be returned to the own
err with a good round interest
and profit on the investment.
The selfish element of gain and
self-interest enters very largely
into the transaction; and howev-
err puresand patriotic the person
may be in lending his money to
the government, it can in no
wise be considered as christian
giving.
We are led into this reflection
on the opening of the great Gen.
tenary Missionary Drive of the
Methodist church, which is to be-
gin May Is and last eight days.
Here is an opportunity for real
christian giving and true charity.
The spread of the gospel, in
which nearly all profess to believe
and the investment in hospitals
and other charitable institutions
for the relief of the, poor, the
needy and the suffering in the
nations of the world, and the en-
lightenmento of the peoples who
are suffering from the evils Of
ignorance and superstition; sure
ly these are considerations that
should loosen the purse strings
of any person able to buy Liber-
ty Bonds or War Saving Stamps.
If you have bought bonds or
stamps. it is only honorable and
just that you should contribute
a fair proportion of them to this
great enterprise.

Give. Sweet Potatoes More Attention.
The sweet potato crop of the
South has increased wonderfully
| in Importance during the past
two years; in fact, it has always
been one of the essential foods
for local use. Too often it has
been the habit to grow the crop
| in a careless manner, but careful
methods of seed selection and
planting the crop on good soil
fgive returns that make the extra
trouble we'll worth while.
If a special lot of seed was not
picked out last year and careful
| ly stored, now is the time to To-
cate and save the best available.
This seed should not be bedded
until the ground is warm or, if
lit is desirable to start early
plants, the seed should be placed
| in a hotbed and given careful at
tention until the plants are ready
to set out.
Sweet potatoes respond to the
use of fertilizers. especially well
balanced commercial fertilizers
mixed with the soil underneath
rows. Four hundred to SOC
pounds to the acre has been
found in some cases to almost
double the crop. A great deal
depends upon the way the plants
start and if they are set when
the soil is in the right condition
and a little water poured around
each plant, they will start of
promptly. The important point
is to begin now and select the
best seed available.
The demand for sweet potato.
les is increasing and new uses
are being found for them every
year. They are good human food
and are worth growing for stock
feed. Recently it has been
found that a very fair grade OF
sirup can be made from surplus
sweet potatoes. Give your sweet
potato crop more attention.

Protect Tree Wounds With a Goot
Mixture.


''The best kind of paint to
apply to wounds on trees" says
B. Szymoniak, associate horticul-
turist, Extension Division, La.
State University, lis one that
disinfects the wounds and furn-
ishes complete protection to the
sap wood while the wound is
healing and causes least injury
to the tissues.
Such a mixture can be made
of the following ingredients:
One-third part creosote and two
thirds part coal tar. In applying
it care must be taken not to
drench the sap wood too heavily.
The brush should be saturated
just enough to apply the mix
ture"

man seems already to have a contest
in sight. By all the rules of fairness
and right Grant parish is entitled to
one of the judgeships, as Rapldes has
appropriated both judges for years.
Since Mr.. ]. A. Williams of Grant has
announced his intention to offer, how
ever, we see that Mr.. r. H. McGimsey
of Alexandria is also in the field. II
Grant cannot obtain just recognition in
