McKINNEEY-BLANCHE

The marriage of Miss Clyde

to their friends. Miss Clyde had gon,
to Natchitoches to attend the summe-
term at the State Normal, and rar
up to Shreveport last Monday on a
shopping trip and where she was me-
by Mr.. Mckinney. 1t is claimed tina
a woman can out-talk man, bu'
there are exceptions to all rules, and
the unexpected sometimes happens.
Mr.. Mckinney had made up his mind
that Miss Clyde was not going back
to the Normal, to be gone all sum-
mer. and the argument was settled
right then and his objection was sus-
tanned and after the preliminary at
the Clerk of Courts office had been
attended to a clergyman was visited
and the pretty school marin became
a bride. She is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. G. Sterling Blanche, natives
and lifelong residents of Tensas par

ODE TO THE GIRLS.
(By One of the Boys)


Little girl, you are so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no shinmy shirt!
Don't you wear no petit" skirt?
Just your corsets and your hose
Are these all your underclothes?
Little girl, you look so light
When see you in the light.
With your skirts cut rather high
Won't you catch cold and die?
Aren't you 'fraid to show your calf?
1t must make the fellows laugh!
Little girl, what is the cause?
Why your clothes all made of gauze!
Don't you wear no undervest
When you go out fully dressed?
Do YOU like these peek-a-boos.
Stead of normal underclothes?
Little girl, your 'spenders show
When the sunshine plays just so.
can see your tinted flesh
Through your thinest gown of mesh;
Is it modest, do you 'spose,
Not to wear no underclothes?
can see way past your throat
To a region most remote;
'Tain't my fault, now don't suppose
Why not wear some underclothes!
Little girl, your socks have shoals
OF those tiny little holes;
. Do you want to show your limb?
do not know; is it whin?
: Do you want to catch the eye
Of each fellow passing by?
, Little girl, where is the charm
8 In your long uncovered arm?
9 And the "y" behind your neck
Is it for TIE birds TO peck?
a Little girl, l tell you those
: Are not as nice as underclothes.
v Little girl, row listen here;
r You would be just twice as dear
o IL you'd cover up your charms
e Neck, back, legs and both your arm
. j would take you to some shows

plants.
Messrs. Holland and Edwards have
asked the Journal to extend thanks
to the Delhi citizenship for the hearty
cooperation in tthe work of breaking
up of the illicit stills, and sale of
whiskey. They say that in all of their
work through Arkansas, Tennessee,
and Louisiana, they have not met with
higher class of citizenship, and found
men willing to aid them in clearing up
the community as was evidenced here.

party to have dinner before leaving. |
He only had about two and a half |
gallons of whiskey made, but had
about thirty-fiveN gallons of beer. The
beer is made up in the mash and be-
comes whiskey after its trip through |
the little copper worm. The distilling !
plant was brought to town punctured
full of holes and placed in a show
window. Pope was also brought to
town and lodged in Jail.
The next place raided was on the
John Davidson farm. The distillery
was found in the woods about three
hundred yards from negro's house.
No one was about the plant, but there
was about 120 gallons of mash and
quite a lot of beer and whiskey made
up. About half a mile further on
was another distillery. This was on
negro's place by the name OF Noble.
sNo one was at home" at this place
either. A negro was seen in the corn
field blowing, but he did not stay
there longer than when he caught
sight of the raiding party. This was
a small outfit, but no goods or ma
terials were about the plant, though
it bore evidences of having been IN
operation recently. There being no
evidence to convict the prohibition Of
ficers could make no arrests save one.
Old Pope Williams says he was just
getting his plant ready for operation
in good shape. He says it had a ca
nacity of five or six gallons daily
and that he had been selling the stuff
at five dollars a quart on up.

fective in last July, Delhi has not ma

REPORT KINGS
 MARRIAGE

Paris, May 24.---King Alexander of Greece is reported to have been mar ried morganaticadly to Mademoiselle Manos, daughter of a former aide de camp to his father, King Constantine The Greek legation in Paris has re- fused to confirm or deny this report
 King A1exander's marriage is said to have been the continuation of a boy hood friendship and occurred before he was in a direct line to the throne and while his chances for succeeding his father appeared most remote.
 The king and his wife are living at the same hotel here and yesterday
 went to Versailles where they lunched together and visited the gardens. Reports here inpute the kings visit to Paris to a desire on the part of Premier Venizelos of Greece for a separation of the king from his re- puted marganatic wife, so that he may
 marry a princess of royal blood The king is said to have left Athens quite in accord with his premier's point of view but is declared to have under gone change of mind since his ar rical here.
 The marriage ceremony, it is as serted, was performed by priest of the Creek church and was not re- corded with the metropolitan of Ath- ems, the supreme ecclesiastical au- l thority in Greece. This is the eNplan- ation for the fact that no record o1
 the ceremony is available.

SPEECHES. POURING IN.

Washington, May A.---Orders from members of Congress for printing of campaign speeches are plhng up high in the office of the Public Printer de- spite his declaration that no more can be printed because of news print sh ortage. He is scouting now for pa per with which to meet the rush or ders. Under the law he must buy in the open market. This is an obstacle in the way of securing paper.
 Congressmen are worried over the situation. They can print their speeches at cost in the Government Printing Office. They cannot print them outside in sufficient quantity at present prices. The cost of campaign ing is a big consideration to the av- craze member.
 Hearings of Congressional investi- gations and the elaborate speeches in the Congressional Record on political sub jects and not the waste of printing executive documents are responsible for the news print shortage at the Government Printing Office.

BOASTS BEST SYSTEM OF
 PUBLIC SCHOOLS

New York, May 24-The state Of Montana has the best all-around pup lie school system in the United States according to the results of compara- tive study of state school systems made public today by the RusseH Sage Foundation. The report assigns second place to the schools of Cal1for- mia, third place to those of Arlzona, Fourth to New Jersey and fifth 10 the state of Washington.
 Other findings of the report are that the school system of the United States as whole has doubled in efh- ciency during the last 50 years, hav- ing an index number or rating of 26 in 1870 and one of 52 at the present time Since these index numbers are figured on the basis of 100. the school system of the country has now an
 effectiveness or efficiency of only 52 per cent, according to the report.
 The figures for the individual
 states as given by the Foundation
 show that during the past 30 years
 the West has been coming up educa-
 tionally while the East has been go-
 ing down. During this time the
 greatest increase among all the states
 has been made by Utah while the
 state to which is attributed the great
 st falling off in relative standing is
 Maryland. In the East the only state
 that has gained instead of losing IS
 New Jersey. In the West the state
 that has the best and most consist
 enly high record is California.
 Among the interesting results Of
 the study is the conclusion that the school systems of the United States territorial possessions, such as .Ha- waii, the Canal Zone, and Porto Rico, have higher rating than those of many of the AS states. That of Hawaii is reported better than those of the majority of the American states. Ten Southern states have re- cords poorer than that of Porto Rico Connecticut ranks eleventh.
 The most notable educat1ona l change that has taken place during | the 50 years covered by the report, is | in the attendance in high schools There are now 100 times many pu- pills enrolled in high schools as there were in 1870. The number then/wa: 19,000 and now it is nearly 2,OOO,' | 900. The high school attendance ha: l increased with great rapidity but the | new pupils have been mostly girls. In the matter of teachers salarie: 1 the states show most diversified prac l tices The lowest average salary i: | s25 per month for the state of Nortf l Carolina, while the highest is $Ss | in California, both being based on { year of 12 months.

WHERE IS THAT
 PROPOSED CANAL?

The project of a great intercoastal waterway in one or another of its as poets is constantly under considera- ton by the Committee on Rivers and Harbors of the House of Representa- tives. A hearing on the subject of the construction of the New York Bay-De1aware River section of the waterway brought out some interest ing facts about the important bearing of this project on the great question of transportation.
 It was pointed out that more than 50,000,00O tons of freight are trans ported annually across the state of New Jersey in an easteriy direction by rail. It is known that under favora- b1e conditions freight may be trans ported much more cheaply by water than by rail.
 But under existing conditions, the water route from New York to Phila- miles, and necessitates exposure to the hazards of one of the most dan gerous sections of the coast.
 It is reported that during the past ten years there has been a loss Of al least 2,200 lives. 500 ships, and cargo to the value of more than $5,000,00 in the coastwise trade; and very
 notable percentage of this has oc cured in the region in question. Meantime the proposed canal sys tenn between New York Bay and tht Delaware River would cut the dis tance between New York and Phi1a delpf1ia to 87 miles, and practicall! eliminate the hazards.
 Under these circumstances, it i: obvious that the project is one hay 1 s,,o portance. Questions of ways ant means must as matter of course b. i considered; but it can hardly b. | doubted that sooner or later the In | tercoastal Waterway will be effect l lively developed.
