forth III the following letter from Di>
trict Attorney Goff to Parish Superin
teNdent Fisher:
August 9th, 1921.
Hon. +. Ii. Fisher, Parish Supt.,
Arcadia, La.
Dear Sir; AS District Attorney and
legal adviser Of the Bienville parish
school board, | have examined the
Constitution Of 1921, recently adopted
with special reference to the right OF
school boards, at this time, to call and
hold elections for the purpose of in
earring debt and issuing negotiable
bonds.
Division a." Section If, of Articl,
NH, reads as follows:
Section II. (a) Municipal cor
poratlons, parishes and school,
road, sub-road, sewerage, drainage
and sub-drainage districts here.
III referred to as subdivisions Of
the state, may incur debt and is
sue negotiable bonds, when author.
lZeu by vote Of majority, in num-
Der and amount, Of the property
taxpayers qualified to vote under
the constitution and laws of this
state, who vote at an election
held Tor that purpose after notice
published or posted for thirty (3O)
days III such manner as the Le.is-
Mtule may prescribe, and the GOV
crill1Ig authorities Of such supdi-
visions shall impose and collect
annually, Ill excess of all other tax
es' a tax sufficient to pay the in
terest annually or semi-annually
and the principal falling due each
year, or such amount as NAV he
required for any sinking fund
necessary to retire said bonds ar
maturity"
thus it will be seen that Will
school boards have this authority
granted by the constitution. these p)pc
tons must be held lin such manner
as the Legislature may prescribe y
1t is necessary for the Legis-
lafllre to pass what is commonly call
Ell an "enab1ing act" under which thiS
of the constitution can be
carried out and made effective
l am therefore forced to advise fila
until the Legislature meets and nassp,
an act providing for the manner Of
holding such elections, your school
board is without authority to call and
hold same, and any Indebtedness in
Cured, or bonds voted would in al
be unstable. Yours verv

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Antici-

RIGA to cease fighting along the Dor
der and adjust their differences by
agreement occupied the attention to-
day of government officials who await
with more than usual interest the re-
ception of President Harding's first
move in international affairs.
Officials of the state department de-
clared no replies might be expected
before tomorrow or Tuesday. 1t was

of Panama prepared to intervene, if
such action became necessary to pro-
tect American life and property. A
large area in the zone of hostilities is
dotted with banana plantations of the
United Fruit company, an American
concern.
Although neither during the day re-
ceived advices from their governments,
diplomatic representatives of both
countries gave out statements discuss

Octavio Beeche, the Costa Rican
minister, who has been i'll for more

would consent to arbitration of her
differences with her neighbor using
the arbitral decision of Chief Justice
White as u basis of negotiations. The
note did not demand the acceptance of

CULLING STACKER HENS
IN BROWARD COUNTY

Great progress in poultry husban-
dry is being made in Brownard coup
ty. Mrs. A. H. Peay, county home
demonstration agent, is demonstrat-
ing the value and necessity of culling
out of the flock those hens which
are unworthy of their keep.
The feature of her work lies in thi
elimination of slackers. The success
with which she is NEE ting is astound-
ing. She is teaching that it is poor
business to keep poor layers in the
flock, since the producing hen
will consume s2.70 worth of feed in d
year, as much as a producer. On one
farm, where she was invited to weed
out non-layers. she culled % from the
flock, on another Is, and on another
five.
Mrs. Peay asks, wherever there is
any question, all persons for whom
she culls TO place the hens she picks
out as slackers into a yard by them
selves. They are kept separated for
a time so the owners can keep a rec
ord of the eggs laid and, therefore,
know for themselves no mistake is be-
ing made. In this way Mrs. Peay is
doing her work practically and con-
