Highway Department concerning the
construction of the o colled Pershing
Highway" through st. Landry parish

section OF the parish line between
Avoyelles and st. Landry parish, also
South from Dubuisson via Garland,
Washington, opelousas. Sunset and
Grand Coteau then to Lafayette parish
line, beg to state.
Owing to the fact thst the surveys
could not be completed and whipped
into shape to be presented to the Fed
eraI government prior to the full allot-
ment of all Federal funds accruing
under the present allotment, this de-
partment will be unable to immediate
ly award Federal funds to these pro-
jects.
1t is the consensus of opinion, that
as soon as congress meets in Decem-
Der, the additional funds win be ap-
propriated for the construction Of
rural post roads throughout the Uni
ted States and in that event this de-
partment stands committed to make
the first allotment of LOuisiana's
portion of this fund to the construc-
tion of these two highways, which
form important links as outlined by
the state and Federal government in
the system now proposed.
This allotment will be made on a
fifty-fifty (5O-50) basis-that is one
half furnished by the parish or local
subdivision and the other by the
safe out of Federal funds.

Regarding the construction Of a

JUVENILE CORN CLUBS
SEEK STATE FAIR FAME

That corn has become one of the
principal products in Louisiana, with
q wonderful future in store, will be
the impression visitors will get in
viewing the exhibits of the Boys and
Girls Corn Clubs at the 1920 State
Fair, October 2S to November Z, in.
elusive. These exhibits, which will be
shown in the Agricultural building,
will be among the most intensely in.
teresting exhibits at the Fair, and they
will testify to excellent progress being
enjoyed by this branch of the Junior
Extension Department.
Numerous cash premiums have been
listed for the winners in the Corn
Clubs, and as the Juvenile corn
growers have their club work estab-
lished in practically every parish,
practically every section of the State
will be represented in the exhibits.
Conservatively it is estimated that
there will be between 1000 and 5000
entries.
In addition to the regular premiums
the members will have the privilege of
competing for silver cup offered by
e. 0. Wild, editor and publisher Of
the Gulf States Farmer, for ten-ear
championship, and for a handsome
trophy offered by Modern Farming
also for the Louisiana State Corn
Growers Associations state champion
ship cup. For this latter trophy the
champion in the club contest will
compete against the champion Of the
adults contest. Many Of the boys
and girls corn will compete against
that of their fathers and brothers and
other grownups.
An interstate corn club contest, In
which several Southern states will be
represented, will be one of the fea
lures of the Corn Club Department
and students will also compete FOL
prizes offered for corn judging.

All told there will be about two
dozen different shows in the Workman
aggregation. There will be wide
variety of entertainment, including a

splendid reputation of fhis organiza

to be offered will please everybody
who visits the Gladway.
In addition to the seriously educa

The telephone material supply situation
a always one of factory capacity, labor,
raw materials and transportation
Pr;or to August, 1914, the supply OF raw
materials: the manufactured output; labor
and transportation, was adequate. AS
result prices were low and deliveries
prompt
From June, 1916, to April, 1917, when
this country entered the WARY prices aver
aged an advance OF nearly 100 per cent and
deliveries became intolerably slow.
Raw materials for telephone purposes are
obtained from all parts OF the world.
Platinum, used in switchboards, came
from Russia.
Silk, used in vast quantities for insulat-
ing wires, comes from Japan.
Old MANILA rope, used in making paper
for insulating wires in cables, comes from
the wharves Of the world.
Diamonds, used in drawing out fine wire
for use In switchboards, came from Europe.
Many other illustrations could be given
These foreign sources OF raw materials

Of the European war and are now Tar be-
low normal.
Lead. copper, iron and tin, used in large
quantities in the manufacture OF telephone
equipment and materials, are also essential
for the making Of munitions. The war
greatly reduced the available amount OF
raw materials and lessened the telephone
manufacturers production.
Strikes in industrial centers which FUR
nished the raw materials, and strikes ana
embargoes on railroads essential to trans

nouncement of the Committee of For

dates for president and vice president
and formulate a platform. Inasmuch
as this committee is made up Of indi-
viduals who must be claSSed az the
extreme left wing of all parties, fer
vent radicals so to speak, it must rely
for its support upon the discontinued
elements of other parties. 1t remains
to be seen whether this would draw
more largely from n of the old par

Bolshevism in Russia appears to be
marshaling its forces for L grand
smash to prevent going to smash IN
der the disintegratng forces at home.
The military machine organized by
Trotzky, the erstwhile reporter on a
Jewish newspaper in New York, is
said to number 100000 men. 1t has
swept Kolchak, Semenoff and Deni-
kline, good fighters and strategists,
from its path. Poland alone is its only
barrier against western Europe and
the Poles are at death grips with it in
the Pripet district and along the
Beresina river. Trotzky's success has
been due to the impressment of the
military brains of the cZariStic regime
into his cause. They were offered the
alternative of giving their aid or suf-
fering extinction.
The Poles have withdrawn from the
Kiev region under the pressure Of 80
red divisions. In the Caucasus boil
shevist agents are organizing resist
ance to the influence of England and
France. An expert in assassination
has been sent to counsel and intrigue
with the Persians. In India the boil
shevik poison has been working for
many months. In London KraSsin,
the bolshevist emissary, is negotiating
for a and trade. Poland's peace
terms. offered weeks ago, have not
borne fruit. Russia appears to be the
key of the world situation but the ma
tons do not know how to S it.
