ma gaZine. and thus brought to tbe
attention of all members

imously behind the movement, and
itself was practicing the Mail early
mail often principle as far as pos
sible.
Advantages to Business Man.
Charles !. Columbus. secretary of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association. praised the mail early
movement highly. and said great cred
it is due to Postmaster Chance in his
endeavor to lift the peak load of
mailing from the early evening hours

Mr.. Columbus said there were diff
eultieS in the way of merchants and
others putting the movement into the
fullest practice. incident to the nor
mai flow of a days work. but that he
felt sure all the members of his as
sociatiOn were cooperating to the
FULLEST extent possible.

business failures are declining. They
have fallen from 1895 for the
whole country in January to 1900 in
June The prospects are bright for
continued decrease. The note of
improvement is beginning to drown
out the chorus of alarm.
One of the financial experts says
that many Of the failures, although
it may seem unkind to say so, are
excellent signs of returning business
solidity, for they have occurred
where business had been built upon
inflated standards and conducted
along unsound. wasteful lines.
This sort of business is gradually
disappearing, as it should. The firms

far in one year since the world wal

L. S. u. Issues New Bulletin on
Journalism.

Five courses in journalism will be
offered at the Louisiana State Uni
versity during the session beginning
September 81, according to the
latest number of the University
bulletin, just issued, which is de-
voted to a description Of the jour-
nalism courses. These courses in
clude news writing and reporting, ad-
vanced reporting and newspaper
practice, agricultural writing, the
country newspaper and newspaper
advertising. According to the an
nouncement, a feature of the de-
partment of journalism is it's close
affiliation with the Baton Rouge
State-Times, an evening daily news
paper, which provides facilities for
giving students practical training in
news gathering and writing, copy
reading, headline writing, proof
reading, makeup and rewriting.
Abundant practice in news gather
ing and desk work is also provided
in the publication Of the Reveille, a
twelve-page student weekly, which is
published by students under the su-
pervision of the department of
journalism. The department of
Journalism at L. S. u, was organ
led in 1912, and many of its stu
dents are now engaged in active
newspaper work.

Director to Speak on Sweet
Potatoes.

The question of storing and cur
ing sweet potatoes is being widely
agitated by extension specialists,
as Louisiak reproducing the larg-
est sweet potato crop on record this
year and great losses will be sus-
tanned thercfrom if facilities for
caring for the bumper crop are not
provided. Realizing that this is a
colossal problem and that too much
cannot be written or said about it.
w. R. Perkins, director of extension
at the Louisiana State University
in his speech before the Interstate
Farm Congress in New Orlepns,
September 1917, will dwell main
ly on the subject of storing sweet
POTATOES. Mr.. Perkins feels that
this will be most opportune tine
to call the attention Of farmers and
farm women to the great necessity
for protecting sweet potatoes
throughout the winter months. A
large attendance is expected at the
congress, Of not only farmers, bat
business men interested in the farm
ing industry, and many interesting
farm problems will be discussed.

MUST AMEND THEIR CHARTERS.
New Registration Will Delay Elec.
tions in 100 Towns.

The discovery has been made that
nearly 100 towns and cities in Louis
lana, in which elections are scheduled
for next January, will be unable to
hold said elections because of the new
registration in January 1922, made
mandatory by the constitution. Some
of the cities and towns are operating
under special charters, like Baton
Rouge, for instance, but large ma
jority are incorporated under the
Louisiana Act Of 1898. This will
make it necessary for the Legisla-
ture to amend the charters of cities
that have their elections fixed for
early next year; but one general law
will cover those incorporated under
the Lawerson Act. Legislation on
the subject will be necessary because
the constitution not only requires a
new registration beginning January
/, next, but also provides that the
registration books must close thirty
days before an election. This place.
the municipalities affected in a posi-
ton where they will have no quail
fed voters, unless the date for the
election is changed.
Donaldsonville is one of the cities
which will not~be affected by the law
in question.
