REPORT OF GRAND JURY

We recommend that the Police Jur,
exert IT'S best efforts towards gettins
the Yazoo & Mississippi VALLEY Rail
Ioad Company to place signals OF
bells at No. 21 crossing at ReIle Po:n,
ana also at Woodland Crossing.
| we recommend that the road lead
ing from the Public Road to Premiere
De kept Tree from weeds and the brid.
; ges thereon repaired.
We ask that the Police Jury see thai
the Bonnet Carre Road recently built
Dy the LeNee Board be changed so as
to follow the lines as drawn by the
State Highway Department, the pre-
sent curve in the road being DANCE
rous
We have had several complaints
about the approaches of the Edgard-
reserve Ferry. We therefore ask
that the operator of said ferry be re-
qmred to keep the said approaches in
good condition.
We suggest that the road leading
from the Public Road into the Town
sof Garyville as well as the road lead
ing from the Public Road to the Ed
gard Station be worked and keot in
passable condition. This would
greatly convenience the users of
these roads. @
In. View of the reduction of all wa
ges, we would recommend to the Po-
lice Jury that the wages paid to those
employed throughout the parish on
public work be reduced as a necessa-
ry economy.
PARISH TREASURER.
We have examined the books of the
Parish Treasurer and we find that
his books are neatly and carefully
kept.
PARISH JAIL
While we find the jail clean and in |
q sanitary condition we would recon- |
mend that the iron work inside be
painted.
SCHOOLS.
After having gone into details of
,he Public Schools with Mr.. Laurent,
Parish superintendent we beg to
make the following comments:
1st. After examining the budget
or 1921 we find the expenses so
arge that we are of the opinion that
ome steps should be taken by the
school Board to materially reduce all
alaries and expenses for the next
chool session.
End. We call the attention to the
,chool Board to the overcrowded and
verloaded condition of the hack
rhich transfers the children from the
pper end of the Parish to the Ed
ard High School. This hack is a
ne ton capacity Ford truck and it is
arriving a load of more than one and
ne-half tons. Several of the child
en- are unable to ride in the hack
nd are forced to hang on the outside
, order to reach the school. We are
formed by Mr.. Laurent, Superin-
,ndent. that this tranfer is operated t
nder contract and that the contrac-
r obligated himself to transfer the
,ildren in a safe and comfortable
amer. This is not being done at
resent. altho we are informed that
e contract price has been increased
ON s165 to S210 per month because

,;Idren to- be transferred, and we

This eminent hoosier has for wears
been acclaimed one of the greatest of
American authors. 'The Turmoil .
Seventeen" and the Penrod stories
are only few of the many from his
pen that have made fame. popularity
and wealth for him. In 1919 his worE
rIhe Magnificent Ambersons," won the
pulltzer prize for the best story pub
ilshed during the year, presenting the
wholesome atmosphere of American
life and the highest standard of
American manners and manhood" His
tale, "The Oriole," which YOU will
have an opportunity to follow in serial
form in this paper, is one of those fas-
cinating, extremely humorous depic-
tions of child life which best illustrate
his talents.

said II. G. Hastings, President of the
great Southeastern Fair.
1T looks as II we all went cotton
crazy last spring, despite all the dan.
ger signals flying and the disregard
Of plain facts as to costs Of cotton
production We have repeated our fol
lies Of 1911 and 1914 and piled up
debts based on costly food and grain
to be paid for by cotton that is now
below cost of production.
with few exceptions those items
of food and grain could and should
have been produced on home acres
at one-third to one-half what the sup
ply merchant charges for them.
Cotton Is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The time Of war prices Ia
over and the problem from now on Is
to lower cost of production and at the
same time afford the cotton grower a
fair profit.
Cost of making cotton Is primarily
the cost of food. grain and forage
for the farmer, his family, his labor
ers or tenants, and his work stock.
Cutting food, grain and forage costs
by home production will reduce cot
ton costs from one-third to one-haH.
"Plant for an abundance of food,
grain and forage, thus cutting down
store bills, and the lower prices for
cotton will not hurt so much. We can
not, with European countries 80 thor
oughly disorganized, reasonably expect
high prices for cotton for several years
and we must make cotton at lower
cost, or else quit cotton growing.

Automobile Purchased
By Farmers Prove
Their tility

"The value automobiles to
the farmer owed bv the
number he USES" says O. r.
Stevens local dealer in Chevrolet
passenger and commercial cars.
Authorities estimate that
nearly one third of the number
of automobiles in the country
are operated by the farmers.
Yet the farmer by no means con-
stitutes one third of our popu-
lation.
"This illustrates the utility of
the automobile where transpor-
tation is Of utmost Importance.
In the city there are many
methods Of transportation. On
the farm the automobile is
rapidly being established as the
only way to transport oneself
and ones goods with any degree
of efficiency.
Sand this fact becomes more
striking when we consider that
of all the cars sold last year,
sixty per cent, or nearly two
thirds of the number were pur-
chased by the rural population.
"Of course this also includes
some suburbanites. But their
need is similar to that of the
farmer. They have the same
problem of getting to town and
back. And the motor car is
solving it in way that is moss
efficient
"There is no doubt tat the
usefulness of automobiles to the
farmer is increasing. The ex
perience he has gained in the
use of the motor car has taught
him countless ways of extending
it's service in his daily work.
"a great proportion of a the
cars purchased by farmers last
wear were of the thousand dol
lar type and under. This
naturally indicates the opinion
of the farmer in regard to
lighter weight cars, for these are
the type which form the ma
jority of last years car sales. "

Magic Furniture

Some pieces of furniture seem
made to hold more things than
others. There are tables that are
positively magnets. They attract
the entire deposit Of the day.
You may put such a table in per-
feet order in the morning, and
by night it will be completely
hidden beneath an accumulation
Of newspapers, notions and small
wares. In the same way, certain
backs of chairs form natural hang
ing-places for caps and book.
straps and shopping bags. "Have
you looked on the back of the
Morris chair?" Have you looked
on the hall tablet" Magnetic
furniture governs not only the
domestic trade-routcS and thoro,

room to room; it governs also the
line Of argument when things are
