Hard Job For A Christian.

Under the above caption The
New Orleans Item reprints the
news item from our columns last
week relative to the destruction
of dip watts, threats given luspec'
tors and the abolishing of all dip
ping by the police jury
Our parish is called a "back.
slider" on this important issue
and the article concludes with the
following merited rebuke:
"Ws gather the impression from
this that cattle dipping and every
thing pertaining thereto is unpop'
ular in Washington parish.
A more encouraging example
to those that hold that law and
order should be supreme is that
of the police jury of Ouachita
parish which has offered $1,000
reward for the arrest and convic'
ton of the lawbreakers who have
been dynsmiting the watts in tbe
western part Of that parish.

Help Wanted For School Rally

Franklintou, La. April Il, 1920.
To the cit;zeus of Franklinton:
We desire to send good strong
team of boys and girls to tie
State rally at Baton Rouge on
April Both and May 1st. Since
these pupils are representing the
school and not themselves, and
since there is no fund from which
we may draw money to pay the
expenses of the trip | am going
to ask you to contribute some
thing to pay the expenses. Some
of them cannot 60 if they have
their own expenses to pay. | do
not think they should be required
to pay them if they could and
were willing. No one will call
upon you for money. This is the
only call that will be made. You
can mail me- check, or leave 1t
with either bank. An account
will be rendered when they get
back showing how much was
spent and what it was spent for.
| know you have been called on
a number of times this year, and
you have never refused to contri.
butte to a fund for the school. |
know you will not refuse this lime.
The trip will cost the entire
group about $4,000
Very truly yours,

have arranged an attractive exhi-

displayed aprons for every posi-

The dancing on the main floor,
which was atrractively decorated,
proved a popular feature in spite
of the unusual heat and high
humidity. Excellent music was
provided by Delaware College
