unsatisfactory labor conditions, the
committee had great difficulty in &C
comprising this work but the aviator
tina tmade the flights at the fair said
it was one of the best fields Of its
kind in the South, and was well
pleased with the accommodations.
He suggested, however, that add
tional space be provided, east and
west, to take advantage of the winds
which blow from these directions,
when ascending and landing. The
chairman has some suggestions to
make in regard to this matter as it
was thoroughly discussed with Lieut..
Higgins.
This field will prove of great value
in the future as aviation develops.
and the day is not far distant when
planes will be dropping in on us a.
frequent intervals and possibly regu-
lar traffic established, with New Or
leans and other important points.
With a standard half mile race
track we can encourage the breed
ing of high grade stock and establish
records that will be a great benefit
to our Fair Association and the peo-
pie Of the parish.
In addition to the above work of
providing the aviation fed and race
track, new section of land had to
be fenced and the entire old fence
repaired.
A building was provided for the
PnInraf MI
form where they could have their
own exhibits and pleasures. This
step will prove valuable to the fair
as the colored people will take more
interest and have greater opportuni-
ties for education and pleasure.
A new swine department was erect
ed and improvements made in the
stock barn.
An addition was made to the main
building to accommodate the ever in
creasing demand for space Many
alterations were made inside the
main building and kitchen was
built, adjoining the dining room,
which proved great convenience to
the ladies in charge. The dininp
room was also rearranged.
There were two new bungalow
booths built in front of the main
building for the accommodation of
the sandwich, coffee and pop depart
ments. Thi salso proved great
convenience to the public.
On account of the lack of water
last year it was decided to put in
new well, which was an improve
ment over the supply of last year,
but it is still very limited.
The increased demand for cleo
tricity, on account of the number OF
concessions and additional buildings,
made it necessary to put IN a gen
orator and engine, which were both
borrowed. Ample light was pro-
Vided.
On account Of the great danger
each year durong the horse racing,
by the crowds getting on the track,
800 feet Of wire fence was erected
in front Of the grand stand which
served the purpose of keeping the
crowds off the track and at no time
was anyone in danger.
The Association now has a splendid
plant and with few other accom-
it will be all the people
Of the parish could desire.
The roof of the Educational Build
ing, also the main building, were

The land between the main build

When it can be afforded high

Script or Print We;tina?

There is a movement in England to abolish script writing and replace if by print writing. The characters used in the proposed system are the ordi. nary printed letters known as the Ro- man block letters with the exception of "a" and "g," which are simplified Into their script forms. Print char acters were used centuries ago by monks before script writing became the fashion. Advocates of the pro- posed reform claim that it has many advantages over ordinary handwrit- ing, particularly in that the child learns much more quickly. Many Brit fish educational authorities favor print writing and 1t Is taught in numerous British schools. There is no waste of time on the innumerabIe joinings of letters. and superfluous loops and fIourishes are abolished At least one biz London firm has adopted the sys. tenn.

UnIucky Whale.

Loose mines bobbing in the water hinted at the perils that were con stantly threatening our forces. In the tense imagination of the lookouts float ing spars or other debris easily took the form of periscopes. Queer looking sailing vessels at distance aroused suspicious that they might be subma- rines in disguise. phosphorescent trail in the water was sometimes mis- taken for the wake of torpedo. The cover of hatchway floating on the surface If seen at a distance of a few hundred yards looked much like the coming tower of submarine, while the back of an occasional whale gave lifelike representation of a U-boat awash, in fact so lifelike that on one occasion several of our submarine chasers on the English coast dropped depth charges on whale and killed it.-Admiral Sims. in the Worlds Work.
