High school Notes

There was a meeting OF the senior
class of the Opelousas high school,
Friday noon. The work in question
which made the members of the
class agree to later lunch was the
buying of class rings and pins. Most
of the class decided to buy rings, but
a few liked pins. Some even wanted
both rings and pins. Those, who de-
sired either a ring or pin, or both,
placed their order with an agent who
called at the high school Friday
morning, and was also present at the
class meeting.
Last Thursday and Friday the Eng
fish teacher, Miss Prush, gave the
senior class practice in oral exposi-
ton. A regular program was ar
ranged. Miss Alma LassaIle was ap-
pointed chairman, and arranged the
program. The speaker was critized
at the end, of his speech by a critic
on whom Miss Lasalle called to do 80.
At the end of the speeches. the chair.
man for the next program was elect
ed Adele Lawler, May Stubs,
Lucille Trosclair, and Rayburn Pew
etc and Roberta Young were nomi-
mated. Miss Lawler was elected.

started in both the high school and

chemistry teacher. gave the first test

MOTH INJURY TO STORED
WOOL NOT PROBABLE

Owners of wool held in storage need
not fear losses resulting from month
attack before next spring if there is no
evidence of moth injury at the pre-
sent time. according to scientists Of
the United States Department Of -Agri-
culture.
Even If a slight evidence Of moth
appears at this time, it is improbable
that the moths viii multiply fast
enough to cause appreciate injury be-
fore the coming cold weather. It re-
quires about two months for the devel-
opment Of one generation Of the moth
even during the warmest summer
weather, and this period viii be con-
siderably heightened on the approach
Of cold weather. The moth does no
damages at tempraturs lower than
so degrees F., for at these tempera-
lures it remains dormant.
In the southereE States wool is held
for two years without giving the
slightest consideration to the moth.
Therefore, wool held in a cold eli
mate would be In much less danger.

UNJUSTLY CHARGED

It is Only fair to General Wood and Governor Lowden to
point out that while the use made of the facts brought out in
the senate investigation Of campaign expenditures undoubted-
~ contributed materially to the failure of each of these men to
land the presidential nomination, there has never been the slight
est reason to believe that either of these men used or countenan-
cd the use of money in an improper way in the campaign, or
that money was improperly used on behalf Of either Of them
except in a very small number Of cases, which merely cases of
local and petty graft, and which were neither inspired nor ap-
proved by any person holding a responsible position in either
campaign.
1t is not at all to the credit of Senator Borah and Senator
johnson that they participated in a movement to discredit the
leading two candidates in the pre-convention campaign by start
ing the cry that an effort was being made to secure the nomina-
ton for these men by the lavish and corrupt use Of money. Those
charges were made for a political purpose, and they were not
made in good faith. They were not substantiated in any par
ticular. Large sums of money were raised for each of these
campaigns. 1t has been decided to undertake for each of them
a campaign directly among the people, in order that the people
themselves, being tavorably impressed with what they had
learned of each man respectively, would select delegates who
would vote for him in the convention.
Any campaign which, with ever a fair measure OF thorough
ness, appeals effectively to the individual voters of the United
States is necessarily a costly campaign. 1t would take a mil
lionaire to pay the postage bills alone for such a campaign. II
that work is to be done, the money to pay the bills must be rails
ed. The situation throughout the United States is that we have
tried to make such a direct appeal necessary, and yet men are
denounced for attempting in good faith to meet the conditions
which have been created for them.

GERMANY is HIT HARD
Many Millions Through
Band of Forgers.
importers Also Victims Of False Trade
Permits-Numerous Arrests
Made.

Berlin.-Hundreds of millions Of
marks in revenue have been lost to
the German government during the
last few months through the whole
sale forgery and sale of import per-
mits by gangs of %swindlers, operating
along the western border, says a re-
port printed in Koelnische Zeitung.
Among the victims of the forgers are
South and Middle German municipal
tiles, industrial concerns and import
ers of f0odstuffs. Although these op-
erations had been going on for some
time it was only a few weeks ago
that attention was drawn to the swim
die and the police began to get on the
trail of the crooks.
1t appears that when the Red army
was in control of the Ruhr district it's
officers stumbled upon some of these
false permits and Immediately confis-
Gated whatever goods had been i'm
ported through their use. The regu-
lar German authorities then came
upon more of the same sort and an in
v%eStigatiOn was begun. Under direc-
ton Of the Prussian food commission
er the police, sometimes in a%irplanes,
searched the whole border country and
succeeded in landing several bands of
forgers behind the. bars.
The false permits were stamped with
a clumsy seal resembling that of the
national import commissioner, and
carried the initials NJ. r., presumably
meant for Messenger, the former COM
missioner. The band operating from
Dusseldorf sold permits 10 members
of the popular German circle known
as the "Schiebcrtum," l.. e.. those en-
gagged in underground Illicit trade, SO
it was a case of no honor among
thieves. Many of the deals put
through by the Dusseldorf forgers
amounted to 100000 marks or more.
Other gangs made their headquarters
in Mayence and Flensbmg.
a lively trade in forged export per-
'nits has also been unearthed by the
police Of Berlin and the customs
guards at Hamburg and other ports.
Most Of the false export papers were
for the sale of tools and airplane mo-
tors to the Scandinavian countries.
The principals in this lucrative ''busi-
ness were largely responsible for
their own undoing, as they led such a
wild life in the all-night cafes Of Ber-
lin, often spending as much as 10000
marks in an evening, aSr to attract
the attention of the nublic. and an in
vestigation and their arrest followed.
