That's the new sort of Justice that
is being administered in Texas and in
other southern states.
Since January 1. between 25 and
80 persons have been thus punished
in Texas alone for offenses in which
the law cannot or does not operate.
In addition to the tarring and
feathering. many of the offenders
have been whipped, some have been
ordered to leave town, while others
have been placarded.
These placards are signed with
the *. X X" symbol of the Ku
Klux Klan. National leaders of this
organization. however. say that such
activity is not sanctioned, and that
the tarring and feathering and pla-
carding is done by persons masquer-
aiding in the habiliments of the or
ganization.

Pleasure is had in announcing that
the alumni medal for the best all
round high school pupil will be pre-
scented at the alumni banquet, which
is being arranged for the night of the
last Friday in June, at which time

attractive "eats," as we'll as an enter

least that is the plan the alumni are
working on.
Authority for this announcement
comes from the Alumni Council, an
organization which was perfected only
yesterday, when those of the local high
school graduates who were Immediate
ly interested met and went into
permanent organization. The council
will consist Of thirteen Of the grad
uatets Of the high school who live in
Arcadia and take the most active in
terest in the affairs Of the high
school. The number thirteen is chosen
for its lucky symbol and the present
list will be revised as some move
away and as other local graduates
manifest interest in the school. The
object Of the council will be to aid
and encourage, at all times the students
in the Arcadia High School in any way
possible, with the idea of working up
a good school spirit and encouraging
better work. The members of the
Council stand reday at all times to
be at the service Of our high school
land the council will strive to keep 10
closer bond among the graduates and
larger working organization through
the Alumni Association, new officers
OF which will be elected this summer.
Officers Of the Alumni Council are at
present: 2. E. Brown, president; NJ.
H. Currie, vice-president; Luda Reyn.

Mrs. Alice West is now a strong en-
dorser Of Nash's Baby Bowel Elixir.
Mrs. West, whose home is in Texas,
says her eleven months old baby suf-
fered all night long and nothing she
could do would relieve him. As soOr
as the stores opened next morning she
went to the druggist and was recon-
mended this time-tried remedy. Baby
took it gratefully, went to sleep and
in a few hours was well and happy.
Springtime is when baby's health
for summer is determined. Keep him

its zest. Don't let him lose weight. II

supervision for $315,0OO.W as Jack

wonder that Jackson parish decided
to get along without Mr.. Wilson's

The Democrat thinks that Mr.. Thur

whether he is in favor Of building them

ple want to know. They are paying

YOU stand? Just come cut in the open
and be fair to yourself and to the tax
payers whom you represent. Don't

YOUNG MANS OPPORTUNITY

There are from twelve to fourteen
million bales Of cotton raised annual
". Every bale has to be classed from
one to four times, seldom by the same
man twice. Until the last five years,
there have been no training schools IN
this line. consequently the supply OF
men for this work is limited. Thou.
sands Of warehouses are being erected
in this country and every warehouse
requires two or three men to handle tne
cotton. The Commissioner OF the
Market and Warehouse Departments
has appointed Board Of Examiners to
examine applicants for license as Pub
lie Cotton Classers. To those passing a
license is issued to engage in the busl'
ness Of Public Cotton CHASING and to
charge for his services. These exam
nations are open to both men and wo-
men. Practically every town ana VII
lase where cotton is sold will employ
one or more licensed cotton classers.
Aaron Sapiro, Organizer for the Ma.
tional Marketing Association says that
between 10 per cent and IL per cent
Of the entire cotton crop is lost to
farmers on account Of incorrect grad
ing, It is the purpose Of the Associa'
tion to have competent Cotton Class
ers grade their cotton for all farmers
belonging to the Association. Thls
statement from one who Is in a posi-
ton to know shows two things, nrsl
that the man who raises cotton should
he able to class it, to protect himself
from loss. and second, that there Is g
wide and growing field Of employment
for the competent cotton man.
Cotton is the leading product OF tn
South and will continue to be. Ever!
Young man of the South should know
the classification and handling Of cot
ton. More money is lost each year D!

the Cotton CHASING Department of our
institution, the Tyler Commercial Col,
lege Of Tyler, Texas, is in a much bet
ter position to take one Of these many
positions that are opening up, or to
protect his own interests as a grower,
than one who has had no training, or
a training by guess. In four weeks
time we can prepare you to save this
year more than double the cost Of you
learning, Or to take a good position
with unlimited opportunity. We have
been asked. "How do you teach Cot
ton CHASING SO successfully" Be
lieving that the time has come when
the South needs to know more about
her leading product, when the farmer
should know more about marketing the
crop which he labors so earnestly to
produce, and which means meat and
bread to his family, we have equipped
our department SO that the most ef-
fcient teaching possible may be done.
Our teachers understand CHASING,
stapling, buying and selling from a
practical standpoint, and are expert In
the training of students. The head OF
this department is constantly in touch
with the Agricultural Department al

Jonesboro, La. May 81, l92l.
Editor Bienville Democrat,
Arcadia, La.
Dear Sir: Relative to your request
for information concerning Mr.. Geo.
r Wilson, engineer, and his activities
in the road matter of Jackson parish
beg to submit the following:
That we as a whole consider Mr..
Wilson not a practical or a competent
man for the place which he is filling
in YOUR parish. That for this reason:
he spends the money too freely ana
don't get any results, or this has bee'
our experience with him.
Jackson parish voted bond issue OF
s5OO.OOOOO for the purpose OF con,
structing an east and west graveleo
road consisting Of some 20 miles o.
road and north and south road con
sisting Of some II miles. Mr.. Geo
R wilson was employed as engineer
to build these two gravel roads ant
snent some 1915, 100000 and only graVel
cd three miles of road out Of Jonesbor'
and one-half mile out Of Eros.
He graded about fifteen miles, bu
nut no gravel on same.
One feature about the constructor
Of this road under Mr.. Wilson we pail
worry high nrice for grading and grub
hing about $4,000 station for tn
most of the work. We find in som
nlaces stumps that are not covered u!
and logs in some Of the fills whic!
should not have been done, but whlc

OF the wooden bridges constructs

three have already been washed on
and will have to be rebuilt.
Mr.. Wilson's services were deeme
very unsatisfactory by the Police Jur
of Jackson parish and the citizens c
the parish as a whole and on Januar
10Th. 1921, the Police Jury of Jacl
son parish in special session passed
resolution discharging Mr.. Wilson an
suspending all work under his supe
vision.
It would seem from our experient
with Mr.. Wilson's seemingly extrav'
CANT method of expanding the fund
that had we never employed him, v
would now have more money for II
completion Of our roads.
