How Miss Foster Won Her Way.

AS Sam Ticer came back from the
errand DR.. Petit had given him,
that OF summoning the man across
the road, we saw that he had been
successful in his quest. Every pair
of eyes in the Ticer dooryard was
fixed upon the tall. ungainly figure
which sfambled sullenly by his
neighbor's side, apparently paying
no attention to the remarks Mr..
Ticer was making.
That our worthy host was improv-
ing his time by a running homily
upon his neighbours indiscretions we
learned as they came within hear
ing, but only as they reached the
yard did the other man reply.
"Why, you'll kill the old woman
some time if you don't look out!'
Sam Ticer protested.
NO" the other answered un-
concernedly. mo. No keel the old
vomans. She too tough"
His manner was the detached man
ner of a person setting right a cast
al error. But at crisp word from
DR.. Petit he cringed a trifle, edg-
ing away from him almost as if
expecting a blow. 1t was a splen-
did illustration of the theory of
mind over matter, for the tall, pow
erful man could have made the ira
ditional two bites of the young
physician, although DR.. Petit is in
no sense a weakling.
"It will be the electric chair for
yours about the next time this hap
pens" DR.. Petit said grimly.

and shoes and stockings, and get

LOUISIANA LEAGUE
OF WOMEN VOTERS
Has Advice from Attorney Gener-
al on Subject of Poll
Tax Payment.

Women who wish to vote in
1922 must absolutely pay thei
poll taxes in 1921, and failure to
do this on or before December
of this year will disfranchise the
women just as it will men voters
This opininon from Attorney
General A. V. Coco was given on
November 9th to committee Of
the Louisiana League of Women
voters, who put the question to
him because there has been an
impression among some of the
women that it was not neceSSar,
for women voters to show more
than one poll tax receipt in order
to vote.
"That was true in this year
1921" said Judge Coco, because
the new Constitution recognized
the fact that women were in the
position of men who had JUS
come of age, and could not be re
quired to produce a poll tax re
ceipt for 1919, when the law die
not require them to pay it in tha
year. They could not be requir
efthis year to produce a poll ta1
receipt for 1921, because all vot
erS have until December 81 to pa.
this tax, and it does not becom
delinquent until then. Therefor
it was enacted that voterScoul'
vote this year by showing the re
ceipt for one poll tax-that TO
1920"
But this condition ends wit
the close of this year. Next yea
, you must have paid poll taxes fo
both 1920 and 1921, in order t
: vote in 1922. This is true of me
and women alike"
:, Miss Agnes Morris, State Chair
q e man of the Louisiana League {
! Women Voters, calls attention t
the fact thatthe time is very shol
to pay this tax, and urges all
the women to do so at once.

While the light plant was out
of commission Sunday night and
a part of Monday, patrons should
congratulate themselves, taking
into full consideration the more
than eleven months of unbrOken
service, a record we very much
doubt if can be equalled by any
single unit plant in the State, or
any other state, for that matter,
To make this performance all the
more wonderful the big Diesel en-
CINE has for a great part of the
time been pulling more than its
rated load. Time is coming soon
when either there will have to be
a generous curtailment of the
consumption of electric power, OF
the capacity of the plant will have
to be increased. The former SteT
would mean retrogression, where
progress is the desirable thing
Even the resumption of what we
would call normal business con
ditions will bring a demand fo1
electric current, greater than The
present plant can supply.
