it is time for the women of America

STATE OF LOUISIANA,
Parish of Grant.
Personally came and appeared
before me the undersigned au-
thority w. b. Johnson, C. E. Ar
rington, w. R. Hammett, Ernest
Newton, C. L. Watson and E. A.
Sinquefield, who after being du-
ly sworn according to law, state
that they are a board of review
ers appointed by the Police Jury
of the Parish of Grant on Feb.
2, 1920, to review and lay out a
public road, to leave the Colfax
and Georgetown road near the
place of C. F. Blackwell and
leading to Dry Prong, La, and
that they have this day reviewed
and laid out said road as follows:
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1920-03-06

3. The road via the central
route will be available for use IL
months in the year, whereas the
road via the western route will
be submerged probably a of the
year and possibly more, with I'M
usual rains.
A. The western portion of the
parish is well provided for by
the jefferson Highway and the
Pershing Highway will be of
greater benefit to our people as
whole if routed through the CEN
ter OF Grant parish, besides it is
unfair and undemocratic In its
principles.
8. We believe that the interest
of the western portion of our
parish will be served by routing
the Perslling highway via the
central route because Coifix and
her neighbors will always have
access to this highway and dry
road when the Jefferson highway
is under water; we further be-
iieve that the business interests
of the western portion of Grant
will be endangered by the drain
they will suffer if Boyce becomes
a competitor through the con-
struction of a bridge at that
point.
6. 1t appears to your police
jury that with the Jefferson
Highway on the'west. The Pei
lean Highway on the east and
the Pershing Highway through
the central we will have a road
scheme that will be fair to all
Of our citizens and that the adop-s
ton OF this program viii enable
all tax payers to bear the burden
cheerfuliy. feeling that they are
getting due consideration.
Z. A bond issue is being voted
to build a splendid Highway
through the central portion of
Grant. a high way is already
completed from the town of
Winfield to Packton where we
contemplate making our connec-
ton, and with the exception of
two small streams there will be
no bridges to construct on this
proposed route from Winfield to
Alexandria, a distance of approx
imately so miles, and when COM
pleted tourists may travel it at
all times and on the contrary the
Jefferson Highway cannot be at
a high stage Of water.
8. With the desire to serve the
people of this parish equally and
differentiation to give to every
one a square deal, we the police
jury of Grant parish, in session
assembled, resolved:
/. That we are emphatically
opposed to the appropriation of
funds for bridge across Red
river at Boyce for the reasons
enumerated above.
2. We favor, for the same rea-
sons, the routing of the Perish
ing Higway via. Packton, Wilt
ana. Dry Prong. Bentley to AL
exandria,' following the general
direction of the Old Claiborne
road.
8. The Secretary be instructed
to furnish a copy of the forego-
ing the Colfax Chronicle for pub
LEGATION, and that a copy be sent
to Mr.. II. F. McDougal for his
consideration.
The reviewers on changes in
the Bently- Bagdad road reported
the following changes, learning

place and follow the route of the
old settlement road and intersect

lands Chapel.

HOUSEMAIDS GET MORE
PAY THAN DO TEACHERS

According to Mrs. Josephine Cor
less Preston, vice chairman of the wo-
mems division of the republican ma
tional committee, and president of the
national educational association, house.
maids of ordinary ability receive more
than twice as much as the average
salary of teachers throughout the
country. Comparing the salaries paid
to teachers with that of laborers and
other workers, Mrs. Preston says: "It
is worth, per year, 1894 more to carry
bricks than to train children, 1868
more to mould dough than to make
boys and girls into citizens, $500 more
to hammer hot iron than to hammer
ideals, and 81 ,0S4 more to build frame
works for buildings than frameworks
for character"
Mrs. Preston's figures are quoted
from a study of teachers salaries and
salary schedules in the United States
for 1918 and 1919, prepared by DR..
E. S. Evenden of Teachers College,
Columbia university, for the national
education association of which Mrs.
Preston is president.

STILL AFTER THE NEW LEAGUE.

The recent savage assault by At
torney General Ford upon the Mon
tana Development league has been
taken as a cue for attacks along sim
liar lines by the newspaper allies of
the socialistic nonpartisan league. Of
these, the ablest edited is Campbell's
Scientific Farmer, a really valuable
farm journal, barring it's politics. The
quickness with which it leaps to slam
the Montana Development league is a
pretty clear indication of fear of the
nonpartisan league of all organizations
interested in the commercial and in
dustrial development of the state. Yet
neither Campbelrs Scientific Farmer
nor Attorney General Ford contrib
utes the slightest evidence hal the
purposes of this organization are other
than announced in its preamble, un-
less we accept this paragraph from

thing in the tender memories that
cling about the places once occupied

Will he slyly try to slip his black

a bale of long green into the abbrev-

his watch chain?
No. A million noes. Nine tailors

~PUREBREDS

Purebred cows in bull association
herds have increased 249 per cent since
1918, according to the bull association
directory recently compiled by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The records for 1918 show that
the number of cows owned by men,
bers of bull associations was 1O,24S
of which 597, or 5.5 per cent, were
purebreds; while the records for 1919
show that the total number of cows
vas 1924, of which 2,O86 or 11.43
per cent, were purebreds.
Comparing only those associations
which reported in both 1918 and 1919
it is found that in 1918 there were
459 %purebreds and in 1919, 1901 pure
breds, or an increase of 118 per cent.
That the bull association is prov
ing a great help to the small breed
err is evidenced by the fact that the
number of associations has increased
from A in 1918 to 70 in 1919. The
bull association guarantees the farm
err the continued use of a good pure
bred bull at a cost that is within his
reach, and the farmer has not been
slow to realize it's value. If the pres
ent rate of improvement is maintain
ed it is certain that the future will
show a steady replacement of the
grades by purebreds, and that this
will take place both by natural in
crease and by purchase until the
members of bull associations will have
practically all purebred cows in their
herds. Without a bull association few
of these smaller breeders would have
found it possible to get into the rails
ing of p%urebreds.

MEMORIAL BOOK FOR
ALLOTMENT TO A. E. F.
French Governments Memorial Book
to the A. E. F. Being Distributed
by Local Recruiting Officer.

Col. Brambila, in charge of U. S
army recruiting district, is issuing tc
soldiers and former soldiers of the
American expeditionary forces an elo.
quent tribute to the Americans who
fought on French and German soil
1t was intended by the French gov.
eminent that this memorial should
be presented to the American expedi.
tionary forces before they left France
but unfortunately it was not ready in
time to be given to all. However, de.
termined that our men who fought
overseas should know that the French
government appreciated their sacri.
fees, their heorism, their achieve.
ments, it has requested that the me-
mortal be presented to them individ-
ually. Soldiers and former soldiers
of the American expeditionary forces
can obtain a copy at the army recruit
ing office, Coleman hotel.
1t is to be regretted that the sup
ply of this souvenir pamphlet is SC
small that it cannot be distributed
generally, for it contains abundant
proof that France as a nation and
that the French as individuals ap-
~preciate in full measure the glorious
record of American arms in the wal
on Prussianism. The pamphlet is a
brief history of what America did on
the other side. 1t includes also in
teresting figures as to the devastation
wrought by the invading enemies and
of the great financial and commercial
losses inflicted upon the land of La
fayette. In it's conclusion the me-
mortal says:
"You have taken part in the great
est adventure upon which humanity
has so far ever been launched. You
have seen your friends fall by your
side, you have yourselves, perhaps,
been face to face with death.
"Your contact with men of many
nations, your journey in foreign lands,
the discipline you have accepted, the
close association with Americans
from every state in the country, will
have inevitably changed your point
of view. 1t has been said that you
came into the war as crusaders. When
you reach home, you will take up your
work in the same spirit.

cause the men in it were moved to
