Supt. L. q Porter showed ne
plans this week of a new school
building that is being erected on
Weeks Island by the Miles Salt
Mining Company.
For several years this company
has been furnishing q building for
school purposes, 1t being in the
past al unused house. But now
they have decided to erect and
.qalp a school plant which for it's
size will second to none in the
state.
The plans call for a two story
frame building. Que large room on
each flor, with ample closets pro
vided for hanging of hats aud
wraps of the pupils. The lighting
aud ventilation features have re
ceived special consideration which
produce almost perfect conditions
for study aud class work.
One novel departure from the
general use 10 country schools ia
The sanitary closets provided 80
constructed as to be accessible
from both the class rooms and the
Fairgrounds.
The entire cost Of labor and ma
terlal is being assumed by the
Miles Salt Company, who will also
install all black boards, desks, and
other equipment required in a
modern school plant. The School
Board will only have TO furnish
the two teachers.
A new building is needed in the
Dugas nelghborhood back If Lor
eauviiIe, and Sapt. Porter expects
to submit these same plAnS for the
Boards approval, to be used there
The sanitary arrangements are
worthy of special consideration, M
in many rural schools, both IN our
own and most other parishes, the
conditions are deplorable.

ing danger of serious accidents.
The large number of autos being

public buildings and the Elks Theatre,
be made to open outwards, to prevent

WHEN IN DANGER OF FIRE
Walk, but Don't Run, In Burning
Building or In Business Frenzy
-kecS Cool.

When some one shouts Fire y In
theater those most likely to be tram
pied down are those who start wild
stampede. Those who keep their heads
and act nationally stand better chance
of escaping injury" remarks Forbes
Magazine. The cry Of Fire" was re-
Gently raised In the business world
and started stampede In many quar-
tiers. Now, II cannot be doubted that
the war time frenzied boom has
reached its zenith and that prices are
moving downward. It remains to be
seen. however. whether 1t was wise TO
attempt to force goods on the market
at greatly reduced prices and to cam
Gel orders for fresh supplies on the
assumption that producers would also
cut their prices drastically in a mad
effort to get from under. 1t is worth
noting that wooden, shoe. silk, and
certain other manufacturers promptly
curtailed operations, thus refusing to
gamble to the limit In futures. II pro-
duction be curtailed on all sides, then
some merchants may ind that they
overplayed the cancellation game.
Goods cannot be produced for some
little time at any tremendously lower
cost than formerly because 1t takes
time for raw materials, labor, taxes
and other expenses to fall drastically.
The advice prominently printed on
New York theater programs Is: I'm

GOVERNMENT sEIZEs PROFITS.
Forcible Possession Taken OF $4,000,
900 for Excess Profits Tax.

New York.-The biggest and most
dramatic seizure of money ever made
by the government under the excess
profits tax law was revealed here Sep
TENDER 4, when it became known that
federal agents took forcible posses
sion of $4,900O00 in the Chase National
bank, New York, Immediately after 1t
had been paid by the Hartman inter
ests to II. Farquherson Kerr and A. 4.
Clegg. respectively president and vice
president of the Kerr Navigation cor
poration.
The $4,9O0,O00 was payment in full
made in bills of large denominations
for $4,000 shares of stock in the Kerr
corporation at 800 per share.
1t Is the contention of the govern
ment that the stock cost Kerr and
Clegg $40 per share and that the profit
therefore is 800 per share.

RECOGNIZES VALUE OF PEAT
lite use for Commercial Purposes 10
Becoming More Understood
Throughout the World.

Peat is extensively used as fuel In
northern Europe and as fertilizer In
the United States. In Europe gas.
charcoal, coke and q number Of valu-
able by-products are produced from It.
Owing to the scarcity Of raw mate
rails in Europe. peat and peat moss
are employed also as substitutes for
absorbent cotton In the preparation of
surgical dressings, for wool and for
cotton and wooden cloth. In the United
States peat Is utilized chiefly as ferti-
llzer filler, as stable litter and as an
absorbent for the uncrystallized resi-
dues Of beet and cane sugar rennerles
In the manufacture Of stock feed.
Peat has long been used In ferti-
LIKING the soil, having been either ap-
piled as a direct fertilizer or used a.
a filler for commercial fertilizer. Anal
ysis Of the peats Of the United States
show an average nitrogen content Of
about 2 per cent, a proportion some
what higher than that found In some
commercial fertilizers.
The value of peat In soil fertiliza-
Den Is found in its nitrogen content
and in the beneficial mechanical eff
feet It produces upon certain lands.
Black, thoroughly decomposed peats
are most satisfactory for fertilizer, as
such peats are generally heavier and
more compact and contain more nj
trogen and less fibrous material than
the brown types.

.L|THUAN|ANS COME
To AID OF RUSSIANS
ATTACK POLES ON SEINY FRONT
AND FURTHER cOMPLlcATE
EASTERN SITUATION.
Negotiations Regarding the Fror Ter
and Future Relations of Poland
and Lithuania Broken as Result
of Unlooked-fo Encounter.

Wansaw.-An attack on Polish
forces by the Lithuanians with ma
chine guns and artillery in the re-
gion of Seiny, thirty-five miles north
west of Grodno, is announced in Po-
lish reports from the northern front.
The reports declare that the attack
was unpfovOked and that the Lithu-
anians had received orders to occupy
Augustowo.
The Polish press comments on the
Lithuanian action as inexplicable, as
the provisional frontier between Po-
land and Lithuania has not yet been
reached by the Poles. The latter con-
tend that. the Ithuanlans are occu-
plying several localities on the Polish
side of the frontier.
1t is also announced that negotia-
lions regarding the frontier and the
future relations of Poland and Lithu-
ania have been broken off and that
the Polish delegates are returning to
Warsaw. These delegates comprise a
special misy.on which went to Kovno
about a month ago to confer with the
Lithuanians. 1t Is said the supreme
council has been informed that the
Lithuanians propose new line of de-
marcation, running through Marggra-
bowa, Augustowo and Szuezyn.
1t is understood the Lithuanian gov
eminent places the responsibility for
The clash upon the Poles, asserting that
he Lithuanians were compelled to de-
fend themselves. The Poles claim the
Lithuanians opened fire first.
