Unlike most meetings, where peo-

extreme earnestness with when al

Cen. Black; chief of Engineers OF
the limited States Army transmitted
in his report to the Secretary OF war;
plans, on this topic:
"First, by closing the Atchafalaya
river at its head and allowing the
Red 10. flow into the Mississippi. ;,
"Second, by separation OF the Red
and Atchafalaya rivers from the Mis-
sissippi.
"ffird, by leaving the Atchafalaya
omen and protecting the interior
basins by levees.
al do not think it would be wise
for this convention to absolutely set,
tie on any particular plan OF HOOD
control and refuse to consider any
other, but we should get the most
scientific data and information pos
sible and based on that, submit
plan, or plans, to our representatives
in congress"
Hon. John Dale, or Vidalia, pre-
sided as Chairman of the melting,
and in his usual eloquent and force
full manner, introduced the speakers.
A permanent organization was eff
fected, with Hon. John Dale, perma-
nent Chairman, Hon. Thos. Sledge,
Secretary, with offices at Jonesville
and Hon. j. B. Fain, Treasurer.
We congratulate the good people
of this overlooked district udon hav-
ing made a real direct step in pro-
curing assistance from the United
States Government in this, one of the
most important matters of the day,
and assure all Of our fullest co-opera-
ton.

9 Killed in Italian Riotino

Rome-Four policemen and one
civilian were killed in a clash between
rowdies and police during a demon
stration celebrating the fifth anniver-
sary of Italy's entry into the World
war here. A crowd of about 300 stu
dents gathered in Via Nazionale and
the police were endeavoring to dis
perse it, when persons believed not to
have been students. but disorderly ele-
ments, fired sevral shots, which were
returned by the police. Among the
seriously wounded were two policemen
and nine civilians.

Of keeping your uncle's money. She
meant all the while to give it to you
provided she found you were nice.
And she thinks you are very NICE"
"Your own opinion of me would be
interesting" suggested.
She had gathered handful of peb-
bles and was tlinging them fitfully at
bit Of driftwood. I wished her lips
hadn't that little CULVER that preluded
laughter and that her eyes were not
the haven Of all the dreams in the
world.
She landed pebble on the target
before replying.

said with disconcerting detachment.
"At first l was afraid you didn't like
nonsense, but you really got through
very we'll. considering the trouble l
caused you. But I'm in trouble myself
now. Papa will land tomorrow. He's
the grandest, dearest man in all this
world, but when he finds that I'm 60

be terribly cut up. OF course 1t will
not be for long. Even if it's big
success, I'm to be released in three
months. Constance and Sir Cecil
think I owe 1t to myself to appear in
the piece; they're good enough to say
nobody else can do it so well-which
is question. I'm going to give all
