Because of the danger from piles of |
tile,and building material at the Park |
street school, the board ordered "no
trespassing" signs posted to warn peo-
pie. and especially chilren, to remain
off the property. Parents are particu-
larlv requested to keep their children
away during the vacation while the
building is under construction.
Tuition rates for the coming school
year were fixed as follows. High
school, $l00; junior high, SIS; Coe and
Park street schools, $50. According to
the report of Clerk Nickesen the per
capita cost of the high school last year
was about $l24. Because of increased
salaries and all other expenses the per
capita cost for next year will doubt
less be much more. In view of this
condition the rates as fixed by the
board are considered very reasonable.
All tuition is payable each half wear in
advance.
Because September ! falls on We'd

the Monday preceding. which is Aug

with many articles of much usefulness.
Apparently" SAYS Mr.. Frazier, the
thrift of wartime days did not make a
lasting impression. 1t seems that
some families when they no longer
have any use for an article. although it
may be valuable to some other family,
throw it away. A junk man here the
other day passed the dumping ground
and picked up several dollars worth Of
old iron and brass. The salvage was
so valuable that he plans on going
through it Systematically"

WHY THE BOY LEFT THE FARM

"Why did you leave the farm, my lad?
Why did you bolt and leave your dad?
Why did you beat it off to town
And turn your poor old father DOWN.
Thinkers of platform, pulpit and press,
Are wallowing in deep distress
They seek to know the hidden cause
Why farmer boys desert their pas.
"Well, stranger, since you've been SO
frank,
I'll roll aside the hazy bank;
I left my dad, his farm, his plow,
Because my calf became his cow.
I left my dad to sow and reap
Because my lamb became his sheep.
I dropped the hoe and stuck the fork,
Because my pig became his pork.
The garden truck that made grow
Was his to sell, but mine to hoe.
'Ies not the smoke in the atmosphere,
Nor the taste for life that brought me
here.
Please tell the platform, pulpit, press,
No fear of toll nor love of dress
Is driving off the farmer lads,
It's Just the methods of their dads"

cALLoUs INJUSTICE.

Congressional committees can occa-
sionally set going proposals SO ssmall in
their nature that simple minded persons
outside those sacred halls are dazed in
their efforts to find the reason.
The committee on the Soldiers
bonus" has Just submitted its recommen-
cations.
Officers are TO be eliminated from the
list of those to whom the bonus is to 20.
That is right and proper, even though
many officers, especially in the lower
grades, suffered financial loss and set
back far greater in effect upon thelr
lives than that undergone by many en-
listed men
The "small' elimination is that of the
enlisted men of the regular army of the
United States who happened to be mem
bers thereof when the war began.
The staunch veterans who Furnished
the backbone of the First Division, the
Second, the Third, who helped train the
National Army, who bore the brunt at
Chateau Thierry, on the Vesle, at ST. Mi
hiel, who fought through the Argonne--
are to be penalized because, forsooth, they
were forethoughtful enough to enlist vol
unfairly in the service of their country
before Congress and the president dis
covered that the war concerned u.s.
Just as reasonably might the commit
tee propose-if reason governs it-that
the men who enlisted in the National
Guard before the declaration of war
should not be included.
The committee win suggest no such
thing, however, because the National
Guard votes, while the regular army does

It. is to be hoped, for the sake of the
spirit and devotion of the regular estab-

SULPHUR AND WINE.


Perhaps after all wine is chemically
allied to hell, as well as being in immoral
union Herewith, as is maintained by our
extra-drys.
We make the above suggestion after
reading statement from La Rochelle,
FRANCE, to the effect that viticulture in
that region suffered severely, during the
war, for lack Of powdered sulphur re-
quired by the grape vines.
Figures gathered by the Fyench min
lister of agriculture show that the vine
yards Of the republic require one hundred
thousand tons of refined powdered sui
phur annually, which is close upon 1.-THE
Of the entire world production of the yell
low mineral.
. We are lacking the corresponding fig
ures for our own country, so we cannot
say how much sulphur our own viticui-
ture will absorb--or did absorb before
the dry laws caused the abandonment of
much of our grape acreage-but we may
with safety assume that the amount is
very large and that California in partic-
ular makes use of many thousand tons of
the commodity in the production of which
Louisiana leads.
We say leads, because no other sulphur
region surpasses us. According to The
statistics prepared by the French minis
try Of commerce, Louisiana stands CO.
equal with Texas, each having a present
output of 100000 tons per annum, To-
gether the two Gulf states supply close
upon two-thirds Of the globes sulphur
their only near competitor being Sicily
with her $4,000 tons annually. Japan
produces 10000 tons, Spain an equal
amount, and there is small output from
Austria and from Chile.
If we consider Texas and Louisiana
as forming one sulphur district, as geo.
logically we should, we see how COM
J pletely this region dominates the sulphur
situation, and yet France has made sucn
progress IN secondary ndHuilAS " LIZ
product, and has so far developed the
secondary processes of its treatment, that
this year the French companies will have
enough to supply their home needs and
q surplus Of one hundred thousand tons
for export.
We, Of course, do not suggest that this
French enterprise should be grabbed by
America, but with such economic advant-
age in our hands as we have in the pos
session Of the primary deposits, It seems
more than odd that we ever should have
permitted an industry so obvious as our
own to grow to great importance abroad.
The story # sulphur in Louisiana is
one Of the most remarkable business ro-
mances Of the world. and doubtless we
should be satisfied with the lions shsrs
in its advantages which our sulphur
strata gives s-Times- Picayune.
