fellows will be addressed by such no.
tables as Governor Parker, Col. T.
D. Boyd, State Supt. T. H. Harris,
Com. of Agriculture H. D. Wilson,
Profs Perkins and Dalrymple, who
will talk on farm management and
related subjects.
Glasses in corn, hog and cattle
judging will be taught each after
noon, and several trips made through
the various fields of the State Agri-
culture farm.
After each hard days work, there
will be an hour devoted to games, and
another hour of swimming in the big
Community swimming pool that Bat
on Rouge has provided for her peo-
pies enjoyment.
On Sunday afternoon the boys will
all be taken on automobile trips to
points of interest in and around the
State Capitol.
Starting each day at $50 A. M,
with final inspection at 10 o'clock
each night, makes seven mighty big
days for the boys, and those who
were fortunate enough to go will
never forget the lessons learned and
the pleasures of the weeks visit to
the State Agricultural College.
At the same time there is being
held the regular Farmers Short
Course, for grown up men, but SO
far as we have been able to find out,
not single man went from Iberia
Parish, which shows plainly how our
next generation of farmers will be
more progressive and more prosper
Gus than those now tilling the soil of
our farms.
Through our schools and our Farm
Agents we are making of our coming
farmers a class of men who will en-
tirely revolutionize the agricultural
interests of our state, and when this
comes about you can look for Louisi-
ana to jump into the very first rank
among the progressive states of the
Union.

JOBS FOR WOMEN.
 BUT FEW FOR MEN

Chicago, April Women who entered the industrial field by the thousands during the war, are a big factor in the present unemployment situation.
 The opinion was expressed today by Commander William Peart of the Chicago district of the Salvation Army.
 Commander Peart said that while it is practically impossible to find jobs for the many men who apply to the Salvation Army, there is little diff culty in placing women.
 Changed industrial conditions have brought about this situation, ," said the army commander. "Many of the women who entered the indus trial field during the war have re- mained. Their employers not only are satisfied with retaining them, but are employing more."

MARRIED MEN ARE
 SAFER THAN SINGLE

Milwaukee, Wis, April 30.-Single men get into more trouble than mar ried but married women are more likely run afoul of the law than single ones, according to the annual report of H. G. Momsen, superintendent ot the Milwaukee house of correction
 Also widows and divorced hus- bands stand a good chance of look ing out from behind the bars, while the much maligned divorcee IS per lection, as far as law violations are concerned, according to the report.
 There were 734 guests of Mllwau- kee county last year, the report shows, 683 men and 51 women. Of these 500 were single men, 169 mar ried, six widowers and eigth divorc- ed men. Of the women 28 were mar ried, 22 single and one widow, but not divorcee.
 The report indicates most of those caught in laws dragnet are between the ages of 20 and 30. The next most dangerous period is between 30 and 40.

ONE WAY TO
 ATTRACT CUSTOMERS

In a small New England town i met 9 druggist who makes specially of selling postage stamps. He says that retailing two-cent stamps for two cents each is the most profita- ble line in his store. These sales would be extremely unprofitable, if he handled stamps grouchingly or grudgingly, saying by his manner: "Whatta you mean by bothering me to sell you postage stamps?"
 But he has signs in his window telling that he has plenty of stamps and makes a special effort to be more pleasant and accommodating and gracious about stamp sale than at any other time. He has attracted thousands of permanent customers in that way. "A new customer is worth many dollars a year,' he observes, "whether the thing that first brought him in is postage stamps, cigars or whatnot. So having entered him in, why should I do anything to make him sorry he came; ;'-Fred Kelly in The Nations Business.

 Letter. ' byLucydeanneP Price

New York, April 29.-There are handicaps when it comes to prose- cutting deaf mutes for slander. AL bert De Mentone discovered them when he tried to have three men ar rested the other night for talking about" him and his wife with their | fingers on subway train. They went cheerfully with him to the po- lice station, where they explained in writing that they were talking in Latin and that probably confused Mr. De Mentone. Their accuser admit ted the difficulty of proving his charge since there were no available witnesses who understood the sign language-to say nothing of Latin. He declared, however, that he and his wife did understand it and that the youths had spoken of his wife as a "swell kid," which he insisted was not Latin at all. The station desk man urged all parties to forget it, because of the congested condition of the courts, which they reluctantly agreed to do.

 Paralysis

London, April 30.-Fifty coal mines have already been destroyed throughout Great Britain by flood ing since the advent. of the miners strike, is is officially announced.

SOLDIERS OUT OF LUCK.

Washington, April 29, The sol diers' bonus bill is out of luck this session. Indications became clear that the measure cannot pass for several months and even then it will mean little to the puddle who wants cash.
 No revenue measures are provided for and bonus cannot be paid for lack of funds if present bill were enacted now.
 The plan now is to make the bonus not effective until June, 1922.
 Members of Congress are worried over how necessary revenue IS to be raised for the coming year.

THIS GUN SHOOTS
 AROUND CORNER

Detroit, Mich, April 30,-A device that permits gun to be shot ''in a circle" has been invented by Alex. T. Fisher, of Detroit. The United States war department has just sent him two Springfield rifles which he will equip with his device and he hopes to obtain the endorsement of the de- partment of the government.
 Friends of Fisher substantiate his claim that a gun so equipped will en- able a policeman to shoot around a corner and maim a robber, without being exposed to return fire.

Restaurant owners believe there dignity vanishes. Consequently, they are posting on their walls, signs read ing as tactfully as possible, suggest ing that while it may be quite the thing to carry ones lunch, the res taurant is not the place to which to carry it. Some little headway was gained by the lunch-carrying move ment last winter, but the carriers found that they missed their coffee and they didn't want 1t later; they wanted it along with their sandwich es. So recently it has become no strange thing to see one come into a lunch room, order a cup of coffee, and pull forth the sandwiches from pockets to eat with the lone cup of coffee. "They seem the slowest eat CTS we have, too," said one proprie- tor. "And it makes me nervous to see a table and half an hour taken up for five cent cup of coffee. :" The signs are the result.

No mere burglar alarm on his safe
 would satisfy Eugene sGrabert, garage owner. "Why have a bell that only gives notice to someone to
 come with gun?" argued Mr. Gre bert. "Why not have the gun itself for an alarm?" Finding no negative reponse, he perfected and rigged up a charge of buckshot which would be released on the opening of the safe door. In consequence, poor Joseph Schmidt is in the hospital under a charge of burglary because he ap- peared at the hospital, asking for treatment for buckshot wounds. It's very hard on routine burglars when novelties of that kind are introduced.
