The class in general amateur pro-
auctions is to be maintained with the
purpose of giving students q general
knowledge about plays, how to choose
them, their casts, how to coach them
and make preparatory. arrangements
for a performance. Each student will
receive a list of nearly 100 plays that
are recommended for amateurs so that
they will have something to follow as

The plan of these classes is to make
the Playmakers organization a dra-

acting of a play is only q small part
of the work with drama.

Editor Colfar Chronicles
We are at a loss to know why
the public road authorities seem
to pass US up concerning the road
between here and Alexandria.
There is one place alone that has
given US more trouble than any
other part Of the lroad-between
here and Balls about two miles
south of Pollock which becomes
impossible when it rains. Twill
admit the heavy oil trucks play
havoc with it. The parish ought
to make an appropriation to
either bridge, or build up, Il en-
place a culvert sufficient to carry
off the water, or we will have to
park our cars from going to Al
exandria or go via Colfax. Ny
opinion is this is one of the most
important roads in Grant parish
from a commercial standpoint.
II the parish will make an APP
preparation sufficient to ALLEVIATE
this trouble. will render my
service in overseeing same and
guarantee the work.
Yours truly,

Hon. w. B. Thompson, of New

the bankers at their session held |
IN Hotel Bentley last night toll
take such action as would insure |
the raising of a smaller crop of
cotton during the present year, |
that if there was not a RADICAL
reduction that it spelled ruina-
ton to the entire country as well /
as well the farmers. He told the /
bankers that they had it within /
their power to force the reduce
ton of acreage, and that it was
their duty to do SO.
Mr.. Thompson said that it was
vital question and that while
ne did not want to spread anyl
oessimism. still it was necessary
sor the bakers to understand that
hey must act and act with firm
less. That they had the power
o bring about the reduction, as
hey hold the purse strings.
