SOLDIERS MEMORIAL.
Campaign to Raise 100000 to Erect
Building on L. S. u. Campus.

John NJ. Parker, governor-elect of
Louisiana, will head the committee
of twenty-five men Of the state that
will help direct the statewide cam
paign to raise 100000 for the cree
ton on the Louisiana State Uniyer-
sity campus of a useful and hand
some building as a memorial to the
Louisiana men who died in the ser.
vice during the world war. Three
men from each congressional dissric,
will be selected by the executive
committee to serve with Governor
elect Parker, their names to be an
nounced in the near future.
The movement was first suggested
by the David J. Ewing post of the
American Legion, whose members
were opposed to giving a cash bonus
to the ex-scEvice men but advocated
the building, by the people of the
state, Of lasting memorial to the
brave soldiers and sailors who died
that the people of this co,..,. try might
continue to enjoy happiness and
prosperity. A useful and beautiful
building, it was decided, would be Ear
more appropriate than monument
of marble or granite, md t.,le Louisi-
ana State University carp.s ue.s Sc
lected as the best location. Coming
generations of Louisiana boys will
use this building, and the memo-.y of
brave men who gave their lives will
be forever kept alive.
"The actual drive for contribu-
tions will cover one week, beginning
Monday, May 8, and continuing
through Saturday, May 8. Campaign,
headquarters are at Baton Rouge, un-
der the general direction of the ex-
ecutive committee, which is composed
of the following men: Raymond
Parker, who fought with the Marines
in France and is now member Of
the house of representatives. from the
parish of Franklin, chairman; Her
man Moyse, Baton Rouge, lawyer,
who was severely wounded in France
and decorated for bravery; L. e. Ba-

1t Costs to Borrow.

Don't ever borrow a paper from
your neighbor to read. The Sebree
(Ky.) Banner knows man who does
this and is the most miserable of men.
The Banner does not call any names
but it states it as a fact that man
who is too stingy to take As home
paper sent his little. boy borrow
the copy taken by neighbor. In his
haste the boy ran over a $4 stand of
bees and in 10 minutes looked like a
warty summer squash. His father
ran to his assistance, and failing to
notice the barb wire fence, ran into
that, cutting hole in his anatomy
and running a SIS pair of trousers.
The old COW took advantage of the
gap in the fence and got into the
corn field and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing a racket the
wife ran out, upset four-gallon
churn full of cream into a basket of
little chickens, drowning the entire
batch, In her haste she dropped a
s35 set Of false teeth. The baby
having been left alone, crawled
the milk into the parlor, running a
S25 new carpet. During the excite
ment the oldest daughter ran away
with the hired man, the dog broke up
II setting hens and the calves ran
out and chewed the tails off of four
fine shirts on the clothes line.

American Merchandise in Norway
Sells at Half Price Asked Here.

A recent cablegram from Christi
ana, Norway, states that American
representatives are trying to repur-
chase dry goods and wearing apparel
bought in the United States from
1918 to 1920 for re-export to this
country, as the price of these com
modities is fifty per cent lower than
those now prevailing in the United
Estates markets. Immediately after
the war, Norway was flooded with
American dry goods *nd wearing ap-
parel, and Norwegian firms placed
large orders in this country for fu-
.ture delivery.
The Norwegian embargo now in
force prohibits such exports rs de

that If there was any reason why some
particular member seemed especially
fitted TO be president, the question might
be brought up now.
He tried not to look too self conscious
as he said this, but he felt sure the whole
club would vote for him. and this might
easily have been the case If Mr.. Mole had
