The Clock Unusual.

Clocks are not only OF decorative
value in the furnishings OF room.
They are also Il Cheer-giving element
because with their steady ticking
they suggest life even in Il tenantless
room And now. when we can for
the asking obtain clocks with radiant
faces that show their numbers in the
dark, we have another element OF
chcerfulness in them.
Nothing, of course. will ever take
the place of the colonial floor clock
the grandfather's clock Nor OF the
colonial shelf clock, with its mahog-
any framework and it's face decorate
with the phases of the moon or with
a hit OF town or country scenery
painted in These clocks stand alone
as the proper sort for the room fur
niShed in exclusive colonial faShon
And they likewise find a place in
modern rooms, that are furnished not
in one period. but in an eclectic style
that gives Il comfortable and inter
esting result, Clocks of unusual sort
are suitable.
There is one type of clock com
bined with IA mirror. The clock is
at the top of wall mirror perhap,
two feet wide and three high The
frame is of wood, painted gilt or col
ored in Florentine fashion. The
clock, with n dull gilt face marked
with black hands and figures. is
square, with the sort of figures USED
themselves to the square corners.
Then there is n desk clock, com
bined with a movab calendar and 8

Peter Rabbit long ago learned that

Yong Man Has Better Chance in Small
Community.

That a young man has better
chance to make his way in a
smaller community than he has
in the great city. despite all that
has been said to the contrary, is
the assertion of Edward Box, for
thirty years editor of the Ladies'
Home Journal, in an article in
the American Legion Weekly for
May IL. He has a chance to
develop his human relations not
all based on business interests, +"
the writer declares. He finds
time for repose, for quiet thought.
for reading, for neighborly con-
tact.
The same thought was set forth
in an editorial in the Pelicanaire,
the Louisiana legion newspaper,
the week before. Half of the
membership of the State is in the
city," said the Pelicanaire, refer
ring to the small town post of
the legion. "but about eighty per
cent of the workers are in other
communities of the State. . 1t
pleads for the small town spir-
it" in the large city posts.

Death of Mr.. Nicholas Jones


April 80, 1921, a shadow of
gloom was cast over the home of
Mrs. Nicholas Jones, Of Oak
Grove, the angel of death enter
ing and taking away the spirit of
her beloved husband. He was
born March %, 1886, and at an
early age was married to Miss
Alma Tullos. Into their home
came two bright faced boys, Vir-
gil and Murry. Mr.. Jones was
in the bloom of early manhood
when the dreaded disease tuber-
culosis fastenedits death pangs on
his body. and death soon came.
In August, 1920. it was the
writer's happy privilege to ex-
plain the way of salvation to him
and to see him happily accept
Jesus as his personal Saviour,
And almost identically in the
same place where he found
the Saviour and salvation, he|
drew his last breath, and depart
ed this sad dismal life to be with
Him, where he can realize his
love more fully and sing His
praises eternally.
Death came so easily and peace
fully. The way seemed so clear
to him. When he realized heI
was dying he called his father
and wife to the bedside and as
sured them that all was well,
that Jesus was there and spoke
sweet peace to his soul.
Nick" as he was known to
every one, was well known and
and thought of by all in the COM
munity. He silently and peace
fully went his way among them
making his presence felt and
yielding his influence.
To his dear wife, children and
relatives we extend our heartfelt
sympathies. But in this hour of
grief we can only point them to
the One who knows and UNDER
stands and is able to share their
grief with them.
His pastor,

''Fowl Tick" New Menace to Poultry.
Louisiana poultry raisers should
take care that, in securing birds
from other flocks, they do not
thereby accidentally introduce
the fowl tick" intotheir houses.
This applies especially to birds of
Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Ari-
IONA, New Mexico, and Califor-
MIA, in portions of which States
the fowl tick is a we'll known
pest. The Agricultural Expert
ment Stations of the Louisiana
State University have recently
received specimens that came
from a poultry house in New Or
leans and it seems probable that
this infestation is traceable to a
bird brought into the flock from
Southwest Texas. This seems
to be the first authentic record of
the occurrence of the fowl tick in
Louisiana, though there have
been previous suspicious reports
of its presence.
1t is said that the fowl tick is
one of the most serious handi-
caps to successful poultry raising
in the Southwest. Chickens are
often killed by it and no flock
can thrive properly where the
tick is present in any numbers.
People not uncommonly dispose
of their chickens because of its
ravages and because it is some
what difficult to destroy. The
great majority of the ticks are
to be found in cracks about the
chicken house, but in the first or
seed-tick stage the tick attaches
itself to the fowl and will remain
there sucking blood for from
three to ten days. The older
ticks feed only at night.
