MINDEN, New, March TO- Reas-
sertion that Leonard B Fowler. at
torney general Of Nevada. had no
authority under state laws to bring
his recent action to set aside a
divorce granted ere to Mary Pick
ford from Owen Moore was made
here today in brief filed by Miss
Pickford's attorney. Gavin McNab,
Of San Francisco Miss Pickford
who is now Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks,
and Mr. Moore are motion picture
stars
IF the people wished the attorney
general to represent them in divorce
cases, they would wish him to rep
resent them in all divorce cases, be
cause the law Of the people must
have uniform operation. the brief
said Surely they would not leave
Il, to the attorney general to repre-
sent them in only one divorce pro
ceedng merely because one of the
parties happened to be conspicuous
They would not allow him, in de
hance Of precedent and at variance
with American principles to say like
the celebrated kind. The state? |
am the statel which he is attempt.

comment on the statement made at
the French foreign office to the eff
feet that negotiations are under way
regarding a modified league OF ma
lions The impression was given,
however, that the initiative in any
such development rested entirely
with the French government, and
ia any event the matter had not
reached the stage of negotiations.
Secretary Hughes refused to dis
cuss the question 1t became known.
however, that last Tuesday he had
half hour talk with Ambassador
Jusserand just before the presenta-
tion Of the diplomatic corps. Wheth-
or the subject Of a league OF nations
was broached has not been made
known.
President Harding already has re-

statesmen, and it is expected that
he Will make a still more exhaustive
investigation before he launches his

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier to prevent than to cure. Pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with, often follows a cold or at
tack of the grip. The cold prepares
the system for the reception and de-
velopment of the pneumonia germ
The longer the cold hangs on, the
greater the danger. Take Chamber
lsin's Cough Remedy as soon as the
first indication of q cold appears SO as
to get rid of it with tho least possible
delay. 1t is folly to risk an attack OF
pneumonia when this remedy may De
obtained for trife.

ty parties, should such acts occur in
the future.
1t has come to our knowledge that
there has been undue speeding along
this highway. Such conditions are
very dangerous to the lives and prop
erty of those travelling on this high
way, and we suggest that the police
jury take some action to stop reck-
lessness and speeding.
We also suggest in the connection
that the police jury fix the speed limit
on the jefferson Highway at twenty
FIVE miles per hour and post the road,
giving the speed limit.
We have been greatly hampered in
our labors because Of the inefficient
manner in which many of the justices
of the peace handle criminal matters.
They have neglected to give the clerk
of court list of witnesses and it has
been after an examination of the
complaining witness that the names
lof additional witnesses have been as
|certained. The justices of the peace
should place in the back of all afr
ldavits complete list of all witnesses
lin order that all witnesses might be
SUMMONED and be ready for examina-
| tion. upon the assembling of the
grand jury. We suggest that the
clerk Of court be instructed to notify
all the justices of the peace of this
matter and request them to comply
with the suggestions we make herein.
We have examined the parish Jail
and find it in a state of bad repair
and in an unsanitary condition. This
condition is caused by the bad condi-
|tion of the sewerage in the jail. Re-
pairs on the sewerage is imperative
land we call this to the attention of
1.-THE police jury with the suggestion
THAT steps be taken Immediately to
repair the Jail and correct these exist
ling conditions.
It has also come to our attention
that many automobile owners are now
Operating cars without first obtain
ling license. This is an important
matter, and the police jury should
take immediate action to collect these
licenses.
1 We have been treated with every
courtesy by the parish officials, which
has been of great assistance to us.

Iport as that we be discharged t.
