never reach that point of efficiency
until the teachers are paid better

things will change, and not until
then. Our, teachers must have high

in Bossier for better roads, though /
understand at the present time Louis
lana has exhausted her quota Of the
Federal aid money.
For the past two years we have
been grading roads, building concrete
bridges and culverts in this county and
are now preparing plans for surfacing
about fifty miles, though 1t has not
been decided whether concrete or
gravel Is to be used. The county re
.ceiyed about $175.OOO from the Govern
ment. In addition to their bond issues.
During the past two years we have
constructed In Coahoma County ap-
proximately seventy five miles Of gravel
and asphaltic-concrete roads, the latter
being laid over old gravel roads as a
base. The initial cost Of concrete
road is almost prohibitive, and the as
phaltic-concrete is giving such entire
satisfaction that 1t looks like 1t will be
adopted. The gravel road can be COM
pleted at one-third the cost Of a con-
crete road. thus giving three times as
many people q road. and at the same
time the constant traffic and weather
is preparing the road for an excellent
base for asphaltic-concrete, which can
be put on at any time In the future
with very little expense for base, and
one-third Of the expense Of surfacing. I

has number Of young grapevines COM

yield good profits.
In other words, Mr.. Dem0ss Is
