Last Friday night, May 14th, the
annual entertainment Of the Seniors
by the Juniors took place at the Wa--
rem Ward home The lovely lawn was
made more lovely by the soft light
of Japanese lanterns and by swings
and benches. Everything was dec-
grated with the Senior Class colors
and Dorothy Perkins roses.
After everyone had arrived, for
for fear that some one might feel
they were on their dignity, the ever
thoughtful Juniors called the guests
into the house to take rart in gun
chewing contest. All jaws that would
not loosen up to talk were immedi-
ately freed, and good spirit reigned
supreme. Prizes were given to the
two making the best likeness of ar
animal with their gum, the prize-win

YOUR LIBERTY BOND

The United States Government bor
rowed money from you to finance
the War. You hold the Governm ent's
promise to pay you back. This prom
Use is called a Liberty Bond of Vic
tory Note. On this Bond is stated
the conditions under which the Gov
ernment borrowed the money from
you.
For instance: If you hold Bond
os the Third Liberty Loan, it states
that on April 18th and October 10Th
of each year until maturity, you will
receive interest On the amount you
paid for the Bond. Other issues bear
other rates of interest and other dates
of maturity, all of which is clearly
stated in the bond.
Now if you keep your bond until
the date when the Governme1t pays
you in fall for it, you do pot need
to worry Il, in the meantime, the price
is low one day and high the next

fixed delusions. The mind goes astray
and mistakes fancies for facts. The
wrong ideas cannot be corrected by
argument nor even by proof. Often
the insane person imagines that his
best friends are really his worst enc
mics. Fixed delusions are the most
certain marks of insanity and most
oftel depended upon as proof Of the
condition.
Now many persons. who go insane
may be cured or may recover. There
are thousands of man end women, oc-
cupying positions of importance and
doing useful work in the world, Who
have been insane, for time and who
have completely recovered.
But feebie-mindedness is q radical
ly different condition. The develop
ment of the mind has been arrested
either at birth or at an early age. The
persons body grows, he may be more
than ordinarily strong and well. But
the mind remains like that Of child,
of anywhere from one year to ten or
twelve years Of age. And the arrest
ed condition is permanent. 1t cannot
be cured. The mind is like a clock
that has stopped and cannot be set
going. The person remains at the
mental level when the arrest took
place, just as long as he lives.
In proper schools the feeble-minded
may be taught to use the little; mind
that they have; they may even be
j trained to do many useful things,
may be made reasonably contented
and happy.
! But always some kind and wise per
son must direct and lead them; plar
for them, show them the way; because
mentally, they are always children
So what we need to provide for then
is net hospital, which supposes med

few of the insane owe their mis-
fortune to heredity alone. And it
By no means certain that the chill

parents. Other cases are caused by
infartile diseases, very few By ac-
cident. There are a few which we
call Sporadic" which really means
that we do not know their causes.
But however the defect is acquired,
if they become parents, it will prob
ably be transmitted to their offspring
Hence, it is of vital Importance, fer
the good of society, that in some prop
er and humane way, prccreation by
the feeble-mirded shall be preventeG:
The best available way TO prevent
the procreation Of the feeblenninaed
is by what is called segregation; that
is not only during. their education,
but always, by themselves, with the
sexes widely apart, under conditions
that shall make them contelted and
fairly happy and as far as possible,
useful.
This is the object OF the schools and
colories for the feeble-minded which
,, exist in many states and viii soon we
hope exist in Louisiana. if the law
enacted by the Legislature of 1918
shall be put into operation.
Some day the vital facts here SET
forth regarding the feeble-minded
will be generally known and acted up
on. The results in benefits to the
State by the diminution of poverty

because so many people are offering
to sell their Bonds. If the market
is flooded with tomatoes, you can buy
them cheap, but if everyone is clamor-
ing for tomatoes and there are none
to be had, the price goes up. The
same is true of Liberty Bonds. Short
sighted reop'e are dumping them on
the market, and wise ones are buying
them.
The best advise that can be given
to the owner of Liberty Bond is this

The difference between these two

The difference between these two
chief forms of mental defect, insanity
and ieeble-mindedness, is frequently
ignored by the general public. But
IL is a very importane difference and
very different treatment OF those
afflicted in the two ways is demanded,
both fo- their own sakes and for the
common good.
An insane person is one whose mind
he's had a normal development, but
then, at physical maturity or before
tbat period. or later in life, has be-
come deranged. This derangemene
may be because of brain disease OF
accident, or because Of heredity IN
fluences.
