For the Good of
 the Community

NI L. HUGGINS, presiding judge of w. the new Kansas Court of Indus trial Relations, recently handed down a series of principles under the term of commandment" to labor, to capital, to the general public and to everybody. Omitting the exhortations to labor and capital, those to the general public were these:
 Thou shalt willingly pay a fair
 price for all commodities required
 by thee from capital and labor to the end that labor shall have just re-
 ward and capital fair return.
 Thou shalt pay thy taxes cheer
 fully and honestly, to the end
 that the obligations of the state to all
 it's people may be promptly and
 properly fulfilled justice safeguard
 ed and the general welfare assured. The price of wartime extravaganza has not yet been fully paid Some awfully high levels exist here and there, but each day records the action of the pruning knife. That process has been better than an uprOOting one would have been.
 The public is not only willing to pay a fair price for commodities, but it prefers to do so. It's exaction is no longer so much that something shall be cheaper as that it shall be worth the money that is paid for it. It was ready for the Huggins com mandment before 1t was issued.
 The willingness to pay fair price for good servicehas been translated in less 4hA the tax gatherers. Realizing that the state is the common business of all the people and that if this business is to be rightly conducted, it must have the means to do it with taxpayers have to girt their lons little tighter, smile trifle grimly mayhap, but they have given the tax man less trouble than in generations
 A fair price for good service; good service for a fair price, It is working both ways inthe public mind. He who forgets the good service" portion of the bargain is piling up trouble for himself, because he will be thrown out
 Judge Huggins' commandment to everybody" is this:
 Thou shalt honor and love thy
 government, for 1t is the peoples
 government, the best ever devised by
 men, and there is none other like it in / all the world.
 There was time prior to the world war when lots of Americans were in the habit of going around and asking, "Why don't we do it like Germany does?" We were purchasing stuff made in Germany long after 1t was being better made in Amer lca In fact Made in Germany" was put on goods made in America in order to en- able their sale.
 Men and women cannot arise to that degree of citizenship which they should attain until they do ''honor and love" their country, their state, their county, their city. Just so long as they regard govern ment as thing apart, they pull apart. Just so soon as they sense government as the common welfare of themselves, theE children, their neighbors, their. employers and their employees, they will "honor and Oyvn'' orol fhox T .l

STUDY HALL is ARRANGED
FOR HIGH SCHOOL

The classroom formerly used by
Mrs. Hough has been turned into a
study hall for the students of the
high school and for. the Seventh Grade
Of the grammar school.
The tables, used since this build
ing has been occupied, were removed
and single desks were put in. The
room is supervised by the high school
teachers during their vacant periods.
As no recitations are held in the study
hall, each pupil has quiet room in
which he can study. Only one
pupil is allowed out at time, and
then only for a short time.
Already a great Improvement has
been noted in discipline and class
work as a result of this splendid ar
rangement. In fact, everything run:
n2uch more systematically since thi:
change.-Vidalia Hi Monthly

MORE GOOD RAoDs IN CADDo.

Caddo parish has emphatically
said that it must have better roads
and more of them. The parish that
set the pace in road building in Lou
isiana ten years ago by voting to de-
vote 3 mills to good roads for ten
years last week extended the tax for
ten years last week extended the tax
for five years more by an almost
unanimuos vote.
In the ten years Caddo has ac-
quired 400 miles Of improved roads,
but heavy traffic has worn some of
them pretty thin. The assessed val
uation has jumped meanwhile, so that
the tax will yield 100000 or more a
year, and the Federal Government
win match its expenditure on many
of the roads with an equal amount.
AS the pioneer in road building,
we hope that Caddo will be able to
build some really permanent roads
from its new alimony. The engineer
who built CaIcashieu's roads, put a
brick highway nearly across the par
ish. He said he wanted to give the
people one road that would outlast
their 30-year road tax. Some of its
gravel roads are already wearing thin
but the brick road with little repair
is kept in as good condition as when
it was thrown open.
With the increase of motor traffic
which has occurred, and which evil
IDENTIFY will continue, Louisiana must
soon face the problem of building
really durable roads. The initial cost
win be greater, but they viii be the
least expensive in the long run. And
while some Of us may drop out to go
to better place Though we doubt
that there is any better), Louisiana
will probobly be here doing business
for centuries to come.-N. o. Item

POULTRY EXHIBITS DRAW MUCH
ATTENTION

The exhibits made at the State Fair
by the opultry division of the State
University Extension Department at
tracted much attention, as evidence
by the large number of inquiries that
have been received since the Fair
closed for plans and blue prints of
the various appliances shown. Two
hundred and thirty-four such letters
have been received by Harley L.
Williams, poultry specialist. These
came from six states besides Louisi-
ana and Eoreign country.
The exhibits made by the poultry
division included the following: a
model poultry house equipped with
trap nests, automatic feed hoppers
watering fountain, model brood coops
and large range colony feeders.
These exhibits We're pronounced by
experienced poultry men to be unique
complete and practical, and one Of
the best of its kind ever assembled.

FARM INVENTORY INDEX TO
FINANCIAL PROGRESS

What is the net worth of your
farm business? Is it more or less
than one would imagine from a casual
inspection of your farm? Do you
know for sure whether you are going
or coming in financial standing?
These are important questions to
the farmer, and questions that are
mot so easily answered as would first
appear. Farming is an intricate bust
ness, and one in which returns from
Investments are sometimes long de-
Ilayed, so that progress cannot be ac-
Icurately measured by the amount of
money taken in at a given time.
Sometimes cash income may be al
most wholly attributable to reduc-
tons in other assets, SO that in real
ity the result is like taking money
from one pocket and putting it in
another.
The farm inventory, or property
list, offers the only practicable way
of answering these questions. Once
the farmer has made a complete list
of all his assets and liabilities and
has balanced them, he knows what
net worth is, and when he has made
such a list annually he knows each
year whether he has gone forward or
back, ard just how much has been the
inrease or decrease in the net worth
of his business.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has just issued Farm
ers' Bulletin 1882 entitled Farm
Inventories" in which are given de-
tailed instructions for making an
inventory of farm property and re-
vising such a list from year to year.
BY using the simple system described
in this bulletin any farmer can de-
termine exactly his financial status
and lay the foundation for a per-
inanent system of accounting. With
out the farm inventory as no system
Of accounting that might be chosen
would be of any great use to the
farmer.

SCHOOL WEEK" IS NOTED AT
ViDALIA HI
National Campaign IA The Interest
Better Education Promoted BY
All Our Teachers

The week, December 5-11, desig-
mated as "School Week." and fer the
interest OF better education through
out the country by the National Com
missioncr Of Education, Hon. P. P.
ClaXton, was duly observed at vi
daiia II.
The occasion was announced and
commented upon at chapel exercises
Monday by Professor Burris. He
made one or two interesting and in
structive talks during the week to the
various grades explaining the import
ance of an education, the present
national awakening concerning which
and also the alarming shortage Of
teachers. A rather persuasive dis
course was also made by him to the
high school students in behalf of his
profession.
Miss Law, English teacher, dis
cussed with all her English classes,
the status, merits, and dement's of
the present educational system. and
required the writing of several e5-
says in this connection. The teachers
Of the elementary department Ike
wise dwelt upon, observed, and
helped out in making this educational
crusade a success.
The purpose of this school week,
as described BY Mr.. Claxton, was to
discriminate among the people ac-
curate information in regard to the
conditions and needs of the schools,
enhance appreciation of the value of
education, and create such interest as
will result in better opportunities for
education and larger appropriations
for schools of all kinds and grades.
Uniformly cordial response over
the various states was made to this
suggestion, SO we are informed.
Many governors issued formal pro-
carnations and called upon all the
churches, all institutions, all organi-
cations and the public press to give
particular attention to the needs of
the schools. The high, school officials
of the land also pressed the move
ment considerably.
Louisiana, as a whole, did not
participate in the observation of this
particular week, but it was not on &C
count of lack of sympathy with the
plan. She has just completed sue
cessful campaign for the adoption of
two constitutional amendments which
will add four or five million dollars
more to the school funds; and also
the appropriations to the state edu-
cational institutions were increased
from five hundred thousand to about
four million dollars. Consequently,
the people Of the state, having res
pended to every call that has been
made upon them, felt that they We're
entitled to a rest and the national
commissioner was in full accord

The City Barber Shop, Of which
Mr.. Frank Vizzini is proprietor, has
Just received an up-to-date sterilizer,
which will make things strictly SAM
tary at his shop. He also advised us
to make note of the fact that he now
has employed trusty porter, and
will at all times be glad for everyone
to come to his place for shoe shines.
This will be a convenience to our 10
cal beau brummels, who, heretofore,
waited to the last moment to get a
shine, and then had to give up in
despair, not being able to locate one
of the little street shine boys, who, in
good weather, nearly worry you to
death asking one over and over if he
wants a "shine." We trust the citi-

give us the best barber service we
have ever had in Vidalia.
