BARNEY SCHOOL.

 Our school is progressing nicely at this writing. We have 56 enrolled to date.
 We are preparing for box supper Friday night, December 31. All the districts are invited to come and we ask all the girls to bring a box and boys to bring their pocket books. The money we get will go to the benefit of the school. Our Christmas tree was success and enjoyed by all who came and there was a large crowd. We wish to thank all for their good attention and kind behavior.

ippi is known far and wide for her
deep rooted loyalty and devotion to
her local schools. However as these
schools are well provided for and are
on a good financial footing, it is de-
cided not to include any of them in the
coming campaign, as has been thought
of, but to give full .right-of-way to the

HERE'S HOW FRANCE
GETS ON ITS FEET

This years crop in the invaded re-
gion of France will exceed pre-war pro-
duction. A cable received today by the
French compassion in the United
States says:
Owing to the intense effort of the
peasants in recultivating their fields,
and helped by good season, the de-
vastated regions are now able to feed
themselves for the first time since
1914.
Official reports Of the office Of ag-
riculturaI reconstruction show that
1920 cereal crops-wheat, barley, rye
and oats-will be 11,578,O00 quintals,
against 2O,56O.000 quintaIs before the
war. The wheat crop alone is close
to 100000 quintals and oats over g.
100000 quintals. Zone quintals is 220
IL pounds.) The beet crop will total
14,427000 quintals, potato crop $780,
900 quintals, making the total nearly
2O,000,00O quintals Of these products,
or almost 100000 quintals above pre-
war production.
Not only in quantity but quality the
1920 crops are excellent, the yield per
hectare being unusually heavy.
Throughout the agricultural sections
OF the devastated regions huge stacks
Of unthreshed wheat are seen in every
direction while field after field Of beets
await harvest.
Official figures show the remarkable
results in agriculture accomplished
since the armistice.
OF 1,757,777 hectares to be Fecondi
toned, 1,619,902 hectares had been
leYe1led and cleared Of debris by Sep
TENDER 1, while on the same date l.,
179,704 hectares had received their
first ploughing. The total area sown
in cereals during the 1920 season was
I716,442 hectares, or 80 per cent Of the
grain area of the invaded regions be
fore the war. The area sOwn in beets
potatoes and other root products il
1920 was 245,136 hectares, making tbs
total cultivated area 961,578 hectares

PARISH COTTON
CROP Is LARGE
DESPITE WEATHER CONDITIONS
FARMERS GIN NEARLY
1900 BALES

The last report issued by the federal
census bureau for the cotton ginned in
st. Landry parish Of the crop OF 1920
up to November IA, shows that the
total ginnings in this parish are H.
790 bales, a compared with 1894 bales
of the 1919 crop ginned to the same
date last year.
Since this report was issued consid-
cradle cotton has gone to local gins
and the next report will indicate an
other jump in the above figures. A
rough estimate taking the above fig
ures for basis, will show that ST.
Landry this year produced in the
neighborhood of twenty thousand bales
which is a much larger crop than ex-
pected during the late summer, as at
that time under the weather condi-
lions then existing. it was pre-
dicted that the yield this year would
show falling off as compared with
the crop of 1919.

LOUISIANA NEW HOME


Twenty head Of the sixty-one head
Of Jersey cattle sold at the Louisiana
state fair were purchased by twelve
different Louisiana dairymen and Jer-
sey breeders, an analysis of the sale
shows. This means an added infusion
among Louisiana herds of some of the
very best Jersey blood in the country.
The sixty-one head of Jersey cattle
brought total of SAB 1875, or an aver
age Of $7O8 apiece This is by far the
greatest sale of its kind ever held in
the south. The twenty head pur-
chased by Louisiana breeders totalled
s12,27O, or an average of $613.5O
apiece.
Among the noted animals that have
found homes in Louisiana as result
of this sale are Gamboge's Vellum Ma

ST Louis Globe Democrat: It Is
safe to say, we think, that the result
OF the voting was in but small part
the DEVELOPMENT of the campaign. It
is safe to say that the people, speaking
collectively. had virtually decided this
election long ago, even before the
conventions were held and the nor.i.
nations made. The trend of public
feeling had been sensed more than a
year ago. and it was against Wilson
and toward the republican party. The
campaign but served to strengthen
that trend. The people of
America like fighter. but they want
him to fight fair Cox was a fighter.
but nearly all of his blows were below
the belt. That sort of fighting is as
unpopular in politics as in the ring.
and the great ~najorities piled up
against Cox are in part due to the
strong resentment against mis- tactics

Straight to the Sun for Power.

The Nations Business: Don't

coal and oil. There need be no col.
lapse Of the Industrial world as long
as the sun goes on shining 81
For the sun Of course is the source
of all power and one way to run our
factories and heat our homes would be
to go direct to the SUM- In an ex-
permental way it has been done al
ready number of times.
or course the conversion of sun
heat directly into steam or electricity
on commercial scale. and the appli-
cation of it to all the various work of
civilization is a very different matter
from the making of successful labo-
ratory experiment. No one can fore
see what practical difficulties would
be encountered. It is probable that
man will go on using the power which
nature has stored in the earth as long
as it lasts; that he will supplement 1t
first by a careful development of all
water-power resources; by the max
ing of fuel alcohol on a large scale,
and that the direct conversion of sun
heat into power will come last That
it will come ultimately there is little
doubt And some scientists of con-
ing viii tell you that this development
is overdue now. They say it is only
the immense inertia of men as a
whole, their devotion to their habit,
and their lack Of properly organized
scientific enterprise which prevents
the development of sun-power plants.

Asia Magazine: The calm face of
the emperor Of AMMAN as he drives
through the streets of his capital city,
Hue, on the shore of the River of
Perfumes, does not give any hint of
uneasy thoughts beneath his Ming
turban. Yet the life of an emperor

EVEN Now DAYS OF GOLD.

While the government is refusing to permit
the circulation of gold coins and the banks keep
the stamped discs closely guarded behind doors
that are bolted and barred, there need be no
fear on the part of the public that the produc-
ltion of the precious metal has come to q stand
lstill so long as reports of the United States
geological survey and the California state bu-
Ireau of mines are at hand. Thousands of
Iowans inhabit the lengthy Pacific coast COM
Imonwealth. Most of them, probably, were
drawn there by hope Of gain as result OF en-
Igaging in horticultural pursuits and that they
might loaf and enjoy their souls while sitting
under the proverbial vine and fig tree. But
how many of them realize that there IS more
wealth under the surface of the earth IN Gail
fornia than is to be gathered from orange,
peach, plum or nut trees? For example, the
mineral production of Nevada county, one OF
the political divisions in the north central, part
of the state, the past yearsis valued at little
more than three million dollars. The county
produced 100000 in gold, $4,000 IN silver,
81 ,976 in miscellaneous stone, and $l2,O34 IN
other minerals, including asbestos, barltes,
chromite, copper, granite, lead and platinum
The total production in gold of the county from
1S49 to 1920 is placed at $275,0O0Oo0.
Nevada is the banner gold-producing county
of California, its mines having been worked
since 1s49, with a total production estimated
at approximately two hundred and seventy
FIVE million dollars. On the other hand, it is a
most prolific section to the output of fruit;
and therefore, together with the advantage
coming as result of its mining industry, it may
be placed In the record as having substantial
claim for consideration as a locality second to
none in the far-faned and boasted climatic belt
of the west.

THE TAXES WILL CONTINUE.

Cedar Rapids Republican: We are
glad that the republicans are not
promising to repeal taxes when they
get in. Any man with any financial
sense ought to know that we must go
on paying taxes, and that for many
years. Next year. according to Sec
rotary Houston, they must provide
the government with four billions OF
dollars to run on. That is going to
take many taxes. They have to be
paid. There is no use promising the
people relief from them, for the re
lief cannot be given. We have danced
and we must stay long enough in the
game to pay the fiddlers.
And we are willing to DO that-the
only thing that provokes anger at all
is the realization that SO many OF the
debts that were imposed on us were
imposed for the benefit OF men VINO
wasted moneys during the war and
after it-moneys that were paid 10
men who did not perform their con-
tracts. or who through one form OF
fayoritism and another, or through
inconvenience of chiefs. literally
filched the moneys. For instance, we
paid over one billion dollars for air
planes, and that without getting a
single piano delivered.

CASING OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

Although the republic of France descended
to the very gate OF the Inferno itself and paid
"a terrific price In and treasure for the pres
iervation OF its national sovereignty and indie
Ipendence. it shook its wounded head when peace
returned and cleared its brain to look certain
basic facts In the face. One of these facts is that
If nation wants to share In the foreign trade
Of the world it must have ships of its own to
carry the goods to the markets where merchan-
disc is most desired. France has by this time
made rapid progress toward restoration of its
merchant marine. According to the report OF
the French commission to this country the total
French tonnage ON December thirty-first, 1919,
approximated the same figures as those which
obtained before the war. To his must be added
the tonnage Of the German ships professionally
under the French flag, and eventually to be al
lotted to the private shipping companies by the
government. At the beginning Of this year
half million tons of new shipping was under
way in the yards and more than thirty thousand
tons had been purchased from outside sources.
In the meantime the mercantile marine of the
United States is unable to raise its head be-
cause the cloud of foreign agreements and
treaties, which congress wishes to end without
renewal, may not be disturbed because the presi-
dent has taken a stand in dialnetric opposition
to the will of the country, as expressed in both
houses of the federal Legislature. For many
years in the early days of the republic, the
United States imposed discriminatory duties
upon imports entering in foreign vessels. Under
that system our marine grew and prospered and
was source of pride to the people of the nation.
Once this legislation was repealed, the Ameri-
can marine began to decline until we were al
most without shipping in the foreign trade.
Whether the benefits that are sought to be re-
stored can be kept away from the nation be-
cause the president thinks his prerogatives are
infringed upon is a matter for general and seri-
Gus consideration and action.

on the scalp is half an inch per
month, while that on the face, when
continually shaved. grows one and
one-ffth inches during the same
period.
The number of hairs removed dur
ing complete shave is about $4,000.
and during a shaving period of fifty
years man removes about $500
miles of hair, weighing seventy five
pounds.
1t is not generally known that a
hair will support a weight of from
three to five ounces. 1t is thus al
most as strong as steel wire Of
the same diameter. Before breaking,
however, considerable stretching
occurs, and a hair one foot in length
extends. as the weight is gradually
increased, to sixteen inches.
Hair also varies in length accord
ing to the moisture in the air sur
rounding it, and in many factories a
long hair delicately suspended, is
the essential feature in apparatus
for estimating the amount of mois-
ture in gases.

RI. power Of ADVERTISING.

Theodore II. Price, in the Worlds
Work: The war was largely won by
advertising. The Liberty loans were
sold because of the skill with which
they were advertised Before con-
scription the British army was re-
cruited by advertising. Many of us
will never H7rget the appeal OF the
poster in which little boy was de-
pfcted as asking his father, And
what did you do in the great war,
Daddy?"
Raemaker's wonderful cartoons,
reproduced as advertisements, had
tremendous influence in arousing
men and women to make an end of
militarism and its atrocities. AS a
result the art of advertising has
been studied and improved, it has
been dignified, its psychology is bet
ter understood and its value is more
appreciated than ever before.

THE KIND WE WANT.

The opinion Is expressed by the Italian am
bassador at Washington that in the next three
years five hundred thousand Italians will emf
crate to the United States. The number does
not disturb us in the least. The United States
can absorb that number of immi grants, provid-
ed they of the proper sort The United
States wants immigrants who have been good
citizens in their own Countrywide have been
law abiding and thrifty. It wants immigrants
who have learned to read and write their native
language, so that they may the more readily
learn to read and write the English language
and more rapidly become familiar with Ameri-
can institutions. The United States wants i'm
migrants who are in sound health physically
and mentally and who will not become public
charge. And In addition to these specifications,
the United States wants immi grants who intend
TO renounce their former citizenship and be-
come true and loyal citizens of America Unless
all of these conditions are fulfilled, the imrni-
grants are not desired, whether they be FIVE in
number or five hundred thousand. It is not
likely that half million Italians viii come to
America In the next three years, but, assuming
that the estimate is fairly correct, we should
take every precaution to see that none of the
undesirable sort gets into this country
