WOULD INJURE
 LAWYERS TRADE

Atlantic City, June - Declaring that lawsuits break profitable con- nections and invite hostility, a com mittee of the National Association of Credit Men in convention here today advocated recourse to commercial arbitration for settlement of busi- ness disputes.
 If, as competent authorities as sert," the report said, efficiency re- quires that a thing be done in the best, easiest, quickest way, what shall be said Of the firmly esta bLshed and peculiarly American habit of rushing into court in every petty squabble?"
 For the past five years the num- Der of new suits filed in Chicago and Cook county courts alone has averag- ed 224,S00 year. Consider what the total for the entire United States must be. We know lawsuits often re- suit in disastrous retaliations. are ir- rita ting, time consuming, costly and wasteful. Why then do we persist in this antiquated, peevish, short-sighted habit?"

REFUSE PERMIT
 TO HOLD PARADE
No Affairs of Kind Until Waterbury Labor Trou-
 ble Is Over.

Waterbury, Conn.,. June 3-supt. Beach Of the police department today turned down the application of the machinists' union for permission to hold a parade of ex-service men who are on strike from the local factor ies. It was proposed to hold such a parade tomorrow morning.. Supt. Beach today stated that such a par ade would undoubtedly cause large crowds to assemble and this would be both unwise and dangerous, in his judgment.
 He announced that no more parades of any kind would be permitted until the present labor troubles in this city should be over. The only excep- titSl to this is the Loyal Order of Moose. A permit for a state parade of that organization in this city, June 12, was granted some time ago. This will not be revoked unless the Moose voluntarily withdraw their applica- ton.

TWO APPEALS
 ON ASSESSMENT !

Report made by Mr.. Chas, Trudeau
after having visited our High School.
state of Louisiana, Department Of
Education Baton Rouge, Oct. >, 1920,
Superintendent T. II. Harris,
Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
My dca Mr.. Harris:
We have recently inspected the high
school in Nermilion parish, namely Alb
beviAe and Gueydan. Both of these
schools are well organized, and are in
charge of capable facilities; both have a
god program of Rotations, good dis
Both, too, are pretty well erowed out
with pupils, This is especially true OF
the Abbeville high school. The work
observed IN the high school department
proper at these two schools was found
10 be satisfactory, and the work done
in the primary grades as e0hgested az
these are. Even the additional rooms
built at Abbevule for grades gelow the
high school are as fuH as they can be-
aud. while in several eases, there were
toe many children to one teacher, there
is no room where additional teachers
could be placed, and therefore the
crowded condition must remain until
more room is provided.
we strongly advise the people of Alb
bevillc to get together on the PROPOSE
ton Of providing considerable more
teaching space than they now have. We
know beyond question that the people
Of this community are deeply interested
in the school work Of their children,
and it is for that reason that we take
take this means of calling their atten-
ton to this most pressing need. 1t is
out of the question for a school TO do
the work that patrons nave right 10
expect il 10 do dnless proper conditions
are provided for doing this work. And,
as we have said before, this condition
does not exist.
We had occasion 10 discuss school
needs at length with the Superintendent
aud several members of the school
board, and as a result Of tlis discussion
we feel that these gentlemen are each
and all deeply interested in bringing
about better conditions. We trust that
the whole community will join hand
with these gentlemen in one big move
ment TO bring about needed conditions
While in this parish W emade an IN

Erath and the same crowded conditions
obtaining at Abbevile were found at
Erath, and, to a lesser begree, at Ksp-
Ian. From the experience gained within
recent wears il would seen sound wis
dom fro school communities nenceforth
10 build not finer bsldings but much
larger buildings than present needs
seem to call for. 1t almost Invariably
happens that one or two scssiones after
the opening Of school that school is
crowded out and more room j. needed
Indeed, to mention this fact is to pay a
high compliment to the people who seem
60 take such interest in having their
children educated.
Respectfully submitted.

WE ALL FEEL THE SAME
WAY ABOUT 1T, VAN

The Carson City Daily Appeal was
in receipt today Of large consign-
ment of news print. sufficient to in
sure publication for a few more
weeks. in spite of the reported short
age. But this paper cost something
like twelve cents a pound laid down,
three times what it cost before and
during the early war period. and
practically double what it cost at the
time the armistice was signed.
Then to further perplex the situa-
ton came the cheering" word that
the next shipment would probably
cost a couple of more cents per
pound. And the reading public Won
ders why we howl. There's a good
and sufficient reason.
