Grant Defeats
Convention
Republicans Make Showing, Polling
100 Votes in the Parish,
Socialists 81

The returns from the election
in Grant parish last Tuesday
show that a call for constitu-
tional convention was defeated
by a vote of 708 against and 17S
for the call. The vote in the
parish on the amendments
was mixed, and as the tabulation
of votes was only completed at a
late hour Thursday, we are un-
able to give the vote on the
amendments at the several pre-
cincts.
Returns of the vote for Con-
gresham Aswell and Judges
William and Hooe, as well as for
school board members of wards
A and 6 also are not given for
lack of time and space.
In keeping with the Republi-
can landslide of last Tuesday,
Grant parish also showed an in
teresting gain in Republican
votes in the parish, their candi-
dates receiving a total of 100
votes. The votes as cast for

Banks Deny Loans for Tick Eradica-
tion Work

Monroe, La, Nov. 2. Union
parish banks have refused to
grant loans to the Union parish
police jury for the purpose of re-
Stunning tick eradication work,
but representatives of the banks
said that possibly loans might be
negotiated next year if the jury
could put up security for the
loans. The last session of the
Union parish grand jury threat
ened action unless the police
jury resumed tick eradication
work and acommittee was named
to interrogate officials of the
Marion state bank, the Bank of
Bernice and the Farmerville state
bank on the question of provid-
ing funds for the cattle dipping
work. Owing to the refusal of
the banks to grant the loans and
as the season is far advanced,
there will be no cattle dipping
in that parish this year. Menu
bers of the Union parish police
jury, however, state they are
confident that loans may be Sc
cured by the opening of the sea-
son next year and that cattle
dipping work will be pushed with
all possible vigor next year.

Drop in Lumber Causes Plants to Close.

Drop in Lumber Causes Plants to Close.
Monroe, La, Nov. 1.-The
Sheriff. Hardwood Lumber Com
pany at MerrivilIe, the Pritchard-
Wheeler Lumber Company at
Wisner and the Pelican Lumber
Company at Mounds, allhardwood
lumber concerns, have closed
down because of the drop in the
hardwood lumber market and
other hardwood as we'll as pine
lumber mills of the North Lou
isiana region have already closed
down or are preparing to do so.
Prominent lumber men of the
Monroe territory say that the
closure of lumber mills of this
part of the state will amount to
about so per cent of the number
that have been operating. No
lumber mills at Monroe or in
nearby territory. except a small
mill at Logtown, have as yet
closed. The lumber men of this
region anticipate a boom in both
hardwood and pine lumber in
the spring and there will be
quite a number of mills that will
gamble" on the boom pros
poets and keep running, storing
lumber for the anticipated boom.
This will mean a loss for the
present, as the demand dropped
down rs per cent. but men be-
hind this industry believe that
it is wise to take a chance on a
revival of the lumber business.

Music from Handsaw Makes Hit In
Cafes.

New York, Nov. Am ordi-
nary handsaw has been introduc-
ed as a musical instrument with
much success. A theatrical
manager who heard the saw
played" for the first time ex-
pressed his enthusiasm by say
ing that he believed it will soon
be a common that
is, as a producer of music.
The saw is played by placing
the wooden handle of the tool
between the knees and drawing
an ordinary violin bow across
the smooth edge. The vibrations
of the thin steel blade produce a
loud but mellow whistling sound
similar to that of an ocarina.
The note is changed by bend
ing the saw-the smaller the arc
the higher the note.

Women Strip to Snare Men, Say
British Physician.

London, Nov. because a
million or more women in Eng
land hayN no expectation of,mar-
riage. they are deliberately low
ering themselves in dress to
make themselves attractive to
men, according to DIR. Leonardill,
noted British physician and stu
dent of sociology. He said today:
Bizarre colors, low cut, dress
es transparent stockings and
short skirts indicate the intensi-
fed struggle Of women for max
ing themselves sexually attrac-
tive. The one and only reason
for this is that the war has de-
creased the number of marriage
able males to such a degree that
a million surplus women in Brit
ain will never have an opportu-
nifty to marry"

Another fourth Of the money, for
object two, goes to the Anti-Saloon
League of America for work among
aliens In this country. We must make
good and law-abiding citizens Of those
foreigners who stay with as, through
education, literature and speakers In
the only language they may know
While harangusd by anarchists and
boOzs-GdvOcatSs they remain . men
ace to our institutions. These scat
tered colonies within our borders can
be reached only through the systematic
and studied propaganda OF the Ma
tionRl League.
''Such Of the remainder Of the funds
as may be determined by the State
and National League is to be devoted
to object three ALI the world is now
our neighbor. Five critical years have
demonstrated that we are vitality at
fected by conditions elsewhere on the
globe. One dollars worth Of liquor
will counterfeit a hundred dollars Of
the money so generously given to mis-
sions by Baptists, Methodists, Pres6y-
terians Episcopalians and others.
Let's help make effective these mis-
sionary gifts. The missionary pleads
for our help against the emigrating
liquor dealer and his wares that are
hurrying to other shores.
Under objects one and two the
Anti-Saloon League seeks to remove
the cause that Y. M. C. A., Red Cross.
Salvation Army and other noble bodies
are earnestly striving to remedy. With
Jaw enforcement, proper education and
removal of temptation there will be
less poverty, fewer dens Of vice, a
redemption from misery to women and
children, and the work of those great
organizations will be made easier and
the quicker accomplished.
"Under object three 1t will be pos
sible to "clean up" Cuba and the
Bahamas from the liquor and vice con-
tagion that is already affecting our
shores. Mexico also, because Of which
probably a hundred million dollars a
year is spent by our American Govern
ment to keep the peace, would be less
a disturbing element II drink were
abolished and this can be accom-
plished. AS an aid in preventing
Bolshevism from spreading TO our
shores, some countries of the Old
World should be made acquainted
with our customs and laws and their
citizens taught to respect such before

SHOWS NEED FOR
DRY" CAMPAIGN
INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR w.
MCDONALD LEE.

"
-r

w. N, "ec.
Tor of the gl... red
blythe Anti-Saloon LEA. ., America,
has made the follow. statement
showing the objects of the campaign,
why 1t is necessary, and to what pur-
poses the funds raised will be de-
voted.
1--WE have three great aims in this
campaign" declared Mr.. Lee, "all Of
which will appeal to every patriotic
American who has the welfare of his
own country at heart and any regard
for the moral and spiritual welfare
and progress Of our neighboring ma
lions. These aims are as follows:
~ To aid home Law Enforcement
(requiring about nine million).
(2) To Alaericanlze the Foreigner
(reQuiring about Mae million).
(S) A Dry Word BY 1890 (including
Mexico and West lndies).
"a fourth CT the money raised in
the campaign is to be left in the State
for object one, Law Enforcement,
which means creating public senti-
ment for observance Of law, and de-
mand for officers who will enforce the
law. Internal Revenue Commissioner
Daniel Roper and Federal and State
officers nearly eVerywh""e invite such
cooperation by our ORA AVIATION and
similar ones. Liquor interests have
organized-it is said with S4OO,OOO 900
fund-twenty-fou States, in effort to
elect a Congress that will increase al
coholic contents from one-fourth OF
one per cent. to ten, or even forty
per cent, and thus defeat the aims
of Prohibition and nullify the Eight
eenth amendment.
