REFORM OF PARISH
GOVERNMENT URGED
DELEGATES TO CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION HEAR PROM
NENT SPEAKERS.
WOULD END SCHOOL BOARD
Two Ordinances introduced Provide
For Commission Form Of Rule
Delegates Meeting Clear the
Decks For Action.

Baton Rouge, Ia-With organiza
into effect the Constitutional Conven
ton has cleared it5 decks for the sc
rious business for which it is called
into existence that of writing new
Fundamental law for Louisiana.
Some Of the big issues that con
front the delegates have begun f.
show themselves. One OF these Is
parish government reform. Two Ordi
nances on that SUBJECT were introduc
ed recently, one by Mr.. Clinton OF
Tensas and one by MIR. Hardtner OF
IaSaIle. Both ordinances provide for
commission government for parishes
and abolish police juries and school
boards. Mr. Clinton's ordinance fol
lows.
"All Of the business affairs OF the
seven parishes, including public
schools, shall be governed by com
mission composed Of three commits
sioners. who shall be elected by the
duly qualified electors of the parish.
The commissioners shall be known
as the commissioner of finance, the
commissioner Of public work and prop
erty. sndthe commissioner Of educa-
ton
"They shall hold office for term
OF four years and shall receive for
their services such salary as may be
fixed by the General Assembly which
salary shall not be increased or dimin
ished during their term OF office.
1.-The General Assembly shall, by ap.
propriate legislation fix the qualifica
tons. duties and compensation of the
commissioners, which compensation
may be graded as between the various
parishes, and shall apportion the cost
Of maintaining the commission be
tween the parish and school board"
Mr.. Hardtner's ordinance provides:
"T'hat the management and conduct
OF all parish affairs shall be delegated
to three commissioners, elected at
large from each parish, such as par
ish, taxation, schools, roads, bridges,
drainage and assessments"
Introduction OF these two ordi.
nances has precipitated fight at the
threshold Of the convention. Mr..
Clinton and Mr. Hardtner have re-
ceived assurances Of strong support
among the delegates and are fortying
themselves for the attack.
Prominent citizens Of the country
were invited to address the Constitu.
tional Convention in resolutions intro
duced by Mr.. Burke OF Iberia. Mr.. Bar
ron of IberviIle and Mrs Wilkinson Of

Wheat Up to Your Chin

A field of waving wheat that stands the height of mans chin is certainly a very impress sive sight. That is what c. C.. Carpenter has out in Red Lake Valley. He brought in a sam pie the other day. There are three interesting features about the raising of this crop. In the first place it was not planted until the fourth of June. In the next place only 45 pounds of wheat was seeded to the acre, where others put as high as 95. Finally, this particular wheat was grown on soil where spuds were raised the year before. Other wheat in the same field planted at the same time but on ground where grain was raised last year stands about 10 inches shorter, but at that Is mighty fine crop. The wheat had stooled we'll, a sin gle root supporting ashigh as ten stems and an average num- Der being about five stalks.

People of Williams Can Agree

Now and then some discour- aged citizen is heard declaring that the people of Williams can never agree upon anything. While there is often cause for such Encouragement in regard to public matters of lesser inn portance, the people of Will Hams have repeatedly demon strated their ability to agree on issues of great importance to the community. The vote on' the Williams high school and on water and light bonds are two examples of this. It only remains for a solution of our water problem to be put before the citizens in a definite and buSinesslike manner, and the people of Williams will again be found in unity. But first the question must be gone over carefully from all angles and the BEST POSSIBLE solution settled upon. This done, the citizens of Williams will be found ready to support the measure.

"Let It Rain''

Let It Rd1n
 When asked if it was getting too wet out at his ranch, MT. H. c. Sanders replied. ''No, it nev- CT gets too wet in this, country. Let it rain." He admitted that he had been forced to lay off from harvesting because of the ground being too wet to hold up a binder, but he insisted that there would be plenty of time for harvesting. Then he added, ''No, say let Ter rain. Take some of these tenderfeet and as soon as it begins to get a lit tie dry they will pray for flood and as soon as it begins to rain in earnest they will start pray ing for a drouth No wonder the Almighty has a hard time of it trying to please them. I say we should pray for rain all the time and we need never fear getting too much" MT. Sanders has lived in this vicini- ty about as long as anyone and ought to know.

through the Maryland mountains. There they found quiet. fishing, and splendid country roads for horseback riding astride thoroughbred animals that Mr. Firestone shipped from his farm, where he was born and reared. near Columbiana, Ohio.
 While in camp the president chop ped wood for the kitchen fire. made up his bunk in the converted army tent, and proved himself model camper.
 It does not require a second glimpse of hIs face to sense the fact that he IS glad to get away from the affairs of state to spend a while Tn camp.
 After two days and a night in camp, the president was called back to Washington on official business, the others continuing with their scheduled trip.

D RESIDENT HARDING is shown A above inspecting the tent where he bivouacked one night recently while a member of the famous Edi- sonFord- -Firestone camping party which spent ten days in the noun tains of Maryland and West Vir- ginia.
 He is being conducted to his tent by H. s. Firestone, Akron tire manu- facturer, and has placed his per sonal effects inside.
 The president was the guest of Henry Ford, Thomas A. Edison and MT. Firestone, making the fourth member of a party to which John Burroughs, the aged naturalist, be- longed until his death last spring.

certainly would not be capable
 of paying interest on the invest
 ment that would be necessary
 in order to bring the water to
 town. On he other hand, if the
 springs could supply plenty of
 water for the town and enough
 more to sell, it might make a
 good investment. This propo-
 sition could be put thru, if feas- i ible.
 If sufficient water for the town of Williams could be de- veloped from wells near the city, that would be very satis- factory solution of the water problem. Here is another ques- tion for an engineer to answer. If a number of wells were de veloped about town, some of them perhaps in the country just south of town, the water from these might be turned in to the present city we'll or into some other central receiving station and then be pumped in to the city mains. Such a sup ply with the help of the present city reservoir held for emer- gency use, would prove quite satisfactory.
 There are years when suffi- cient water runs down the Mu- nicipal Reservoir Canyon to make it appear that all that is needed is a large reservoir in this canyon to carry water ov- CT from one wet year to anoth- CT. Years like the present when not even one of the present dams in the canyon is filled, throw some doubt upon such a solution. It has been suggest ed, too, that by putting a small catch dam high up in the can yon to the north and west of Bill Williams mountain, and then running pipe line around the foot hills to the east of this canyon, additional water could be carried to the waterworks dam to fill it even in such a poor year as the present.
 It is quite possible that an en-. gineer would work out some en- tirely new solution.
 But why puzzle our heads ov- CT these questions? Why not | leave them to an expert and | get that expert busy, soon? This done, the choice of the best solution of the water prob lem should not be dicffiult. All will agree that it is immaterial what sort of a solution is adopt ed so long as that solution will | give the city sufficient supply of water at as small a cost as possible. Such a survey care fully made would never need again. The city would always have that information at hand for future use. Why not get that survey going at once?

Man-Eating Ants Make Attack
 On Small Boy

r Mayes's man-eating ants have never been described in any history of Arizona or ex- hibited in any travelling menag- erie, but they are still at large and flourishing. The other day little Billie Moe, infant son of MT. and Mrs. Walter Moe, who is just learning to walk, wand cred away from his home in search of adventure. He found it. Not knowing about man eating ants of his home town, little Billie sat down to rest near an ant hill. When his mo- ther, attracted by his screams, ran to the spot, she found him covered with large red insects who were calmly going about their business of devouring him. The youngster was taken to Dr. J. B. Van Horn for treat ment after the ants had been brushed off him and now is said to be fully recovered from his startling experience.-Prescott Courier.
