Assumpt arish lies in what is
known as the Atchafalaya Levee Ba
sin District. This necessarily means
that levee taxes, which are fixed at
10 millS are paid by these lands and
are turned over by the tax collector
each year to the levee boards for the
building and maintenance OF levees
along the Mississippi river.
'For nearly eight years. Assump-
. tion parish has had no representation
on this levee board. Oar last member
Of that board was the lamented
Honore Dueas, who had been men,
Der of the levee board for & number
Of years, and who during his incu1n-
bency made splendid record.
s"Mr. Dugas diedaduring the ad-
ninistration Of Governor Hall, and
the vacancy Of the board caused by
his death, was filled by the appoint
ment Of member from another par
ish in the district, and since that time
we have had no representation OH
the board.
"We' understand that there is a
chance Of getting the present COVER
nor to appoint a member from this
parish on the board. As we are
rightly entitled to representation by
virtue of the fact that vast acreage
of our most fertile lands are in the
basin, let us make sure
that the matter will be presented to !,
Governor Parker in the true light. !
If this Is done, we are sure to be sue
cessful. /
"a wide-awake and progressive I
citizen on the levee board who is
interested in protecting
our lands from overflow, can accom-
olish much for the parish A repre-
sentative on the board will also help
IS in our fight for the Bayou La
'ourche locks.

ourned, the governor will have more

UNCLE JOHN SHELL
ATTENDS STATE FAIR

Uncle John Shell has laid aside for
the time being his faithful sluirrel
rifle and given UP for the once the less
strenuous sport OF telling his great
great grandchildren tales OF the War
OF 1919.
Bent as II with the weight OF the
SHOWS OF the 1871 winters he claims to
have seen, he arrived In Louisville
Sunday. He will spend the week AZ
the State fair grounds, where the Gu
rious may. for a stipulated sum, view
the oldest man in the world
But Uncle John seems to have come
to the conclusion that fame is but q
bauble after all and the reclamation OF
the multitude but as "soundipg brass
and tinkllng cymbal." for he quietly
made his way TO private boarding
nouse, so officials OF the fair supposed.
and investigation failed to reveal his
whereabouts.
No stir accompanied his arrival from
the shaded banks of Greasy Creek IN
Letcher county Inquiry In Lexington
revealed that little was known ee his
movements during the Bluegrass fair
a week ago. "He did the disappearing
act here, too" they said in Lexington.
