1t was the spirit OF the second

in the battle of the Marne and dis

Again it was the spirit of those
five divisions which, on the 18th
Of July, participated in the vic

Tenth and Sixth French armies be-
TWEEN the Aisne and the Marne and
contributed in great measure to
that victory.

JENNINGS LADY FIRST
TO AID Of ARMENIANs

New Orleans, La, Feb. 22-The
first donation of rice for the re-
lief of the starving children in
the Near East was announced
today by VIM. J. ShaIIcroSs at
Near East Relief Headquarters in
the Grunewald Hotel. The gift
was made by Miss Mercy +. Ellis
of Jennings, La, who has contri-
buted ten pockets, or one thou
sand ponds of rice to start the
cargo. Miss ElliS'S letter said in
part "The writer has been send
ing something each year to the
Near East Relief, this year we
have no money in the rice belt of
Louisiana. Could you use rice?
No doubt you know the situation
here as we'll as /. have rice in
the warehouse and will be glad
TO donate ten pockets to your re-
lief work. | can have it cleaned
here. When ready to have same
shipped please send directions as
per your letter"
MIR. ShallcroSS wrote Miss Ellis
that her gift of rice was most ac-
ceptable as the Near East Relief
is now preparing for an extensive
rice campaign in the southern
safes starting February 25th and
ending Easter. The other states
engaged in this movement are !:
Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, and
Mississippi has just joined the
group.
The Associated Rice MillerS,
headed by DR.. H. M. Blain are ac-
lively cooperating. All the funds
raised in the above mentioned
states will be expended for the
purchase of one or more CargOeS
OF rice. amounting 10 lO,OOU IONS
to be Shipped from New Orleans
direct to Constantinople. This
plan will not greatly alleviate the
| frightful conditions now existing
in the war Scurged area of the
Near East but will also benefit
a great southern industry.
The combined quotas of the
five states is S675,O00.OO and the
number of destitute and starving
| in the Near East is estimated al
100000, 100000 of whom are lit
tie orphan children dependent
upon this organization for entire
support.

REPORT OF STATE
PHYCICAL DIRECTOR

Superintendent 7. H. Harris,
Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Dear Sir:
| take a little pleasure in re-
porting the conditions observed
in Jefferson Davis Parish on the
occasion of my visit there during
the week of January 81.
In the five schools, Elton, Roa-
nOke, Welsh, Lake Arthur, and
JenningS,reSpecIively, a very sat
is factory forward step has been
taken in line with the suggestions
of the State course of Study.
Supt. Annette is deserving of
commentator for his happy
selection of a parish supervisor
for this work, and the hearty CO.
operation of the principals and
teachers is no less deserving of
praise. The inspection of these
schools has left with me an I'M
preston of purpOSefuIneSS, order

Smith, the Parish Supervisor, in
displaying the physical training
wares at each of these schools,
made it plain that health is an

weighing scales, measuring rods
| and classroom weight record
charts for estimating the state of
nutrition of the pupils were much
in evidence.
A lively appreciation of the
value of such habits as brushing
your teeth was displayed by the
pupils in response to questions
put by the writer.
| am we'll aware that ''compar-
Iisons are odiouS," but it should
SubStract little from the apprecia-
ton of the highly meritorious
work of the rest of the parish to
make special mention of the work
at Jennings. An outstanding fea-
Iture of the work at this school
was the number and variety of
games played. No Two classes
played the same game on the day
of the inspection. This gratifying
diversity was no doubt The result
of following the suggestion in the
Estate Course of Study to make
use of the graded index in Ban
Icroft'S Games
The work of the high school
girls. at Jennings was also of ex-
IceptionaI merit including some
folk dancing as well as 8ymnas-
tics and traditional games. In all
of the schools the setting up exer-
ciseS given high school boys was
Imeritorious and effective.
Respectfully,

MUCH CONFIDENCE IN
M'LAUGHL|N PROJECT.

a visit to the scene Of the latest
oil development work, the Nc
LauShlin we'll on The G.. A. Martin
tract southwest of Welsh, early
in the week created the impress
sion that more than ordinary con-
fidence repoSeS in the venture on
the part of those who are engaged
in The development work.
An air of permanence about the
equipment, unusual in oil field
work, attracted attention. The
boiler is housed in an enclosed
r0omy shed; electric lighting
plant we'll arranged and neatly en-
closed. Mr.. Mclaughlin, president
OF the company, was on the job
and busiIy engaged in repairing a
broken chain tong. He is person
ally supervising the drilling Oper-
atoms and watching development
with keen interests.
In order TO keep a correct log of
the we'll it is necessary TO take a
sample Of each strata encounter
ed as the drilling progresses. A
sample was being removed during
our visit to the scene and as it was
poured from the bit each rough
neck" and visitor present, except
the writer, grabbed a small bit of
the blue mud and rammed his
nose int it. Not being any too
familiar : ,th the lingo of oil field
workers we refrained from ask
ing what the odor might be like,
but having dug post holes around
the barnyard once upo II a time
we felt fully informed.
Inquiry from the driller as to
the depth reached at the time
brought the curt and pointed re-
IpIy, cts none Of your d. bust
ness" That reply upset all pre-
cedentS as we are positive that
the code of oil field ethics does
not permit any driller to tell the
truth about such matters.
Seriously, there is great deal
of interest centering around the
development work of the Nc
LaughIin Oil Co, The progress
of its present we'll is being watch
led with keen interest by many.

PROGRAM Of THE TICK
ERADICATION LEAGUE

This League is composed Of
farmers and persons interested in
the cattle industry who believe
that the cattle tick can be eradi-
Gated in a season if the farmers
take hold of the work and dip all
the cattle regularly. These men
met in Baton Rouge last August
on call by Governor Parker and,
after careful consideration of the
facts, organized and SET to work.
The League found on inveStiga-
Ition the causes of the present
troubles in the dipping of cattle
that the lack of tact and diplo-
macy on the part of val inspect
orS has been the chief cause. Sec
ond to this has been Indifference
and incompetence of a number of
inspectors. Third, has been a
failure to educate the people and
properly explain the reasons for
the procedure followed in the dip
lping.
To correct these weaknesses.
the League has had conferences
with State and National AuthOri-
ties and the following important
things have been agreed to:
1. In the future, inspectors and
officials will appeal to reason and
common sense, and only after
these fail will there be a resort to
af1idavitS and fines.
2. A committee of farmers al
each vat will represent the people
and the inspector will consult
| this committee and cooperate
with it in everything that has tc
do with administering the law al
THAT vat.
3. The people may choose, and
Ithey are urged to choose, one OF
their number who will be instruct
led in the duties of an inspector
how to charge the vat, and how tc
make a report. He will be. giver
the necessary instruments fol
Testing the vat. Then if for any
reason the inspector is not pre-
sent, or the dipping should b.
prevented on the regular day fOl
Iany reason, it could proceed thu
next day under the local man thu
qualified, and his report would b.
official in every respect.
4. The Tick Eradication Lea
que holds itself in readiness t
investigate any case of partialit,
failure to dip, inefficiency of in
, spectors and supervisors, or an,
other point on which individual
farmers or groups of farmers re
quest the Leagues action. Th
League will act for the farmers
LIT will investigate and set the mat
tier straight by having real evil
F eliminated, information supplied
! land generally assisting to do tn
! work with the least possibl
, trouble and expense.
We ask our farmers to rea
this program carefully. 1t is
program that appeals to reaso
and common sense. On the baSl
of reason and common sense til
farmers and officials can cooper
ate and accomplish something
Most people have already dor
more work than is necessary
complete the job, but becau'
they did not work together, Il
: lob is not complete. We ask tn
the farmers get together in re
team work, pull together, dip t
gether one season, and finish Il
lob. The League will have ;
