Love of Pictures Universal.

Mankind has always loved pictures,
Races, without written language,
have left behind them rude carvings
and murals to attest the fact. When
an industry arose that appealed to
this ancient appetite with pictures
that moved, it did not have to wait
long to see whether it would die or
flourish. A dozen years ago the mo-
tion picture business, as we now know
1t, did not exist. Today the Ameri-
can public supports 16,50O moving pic
ture theaters, makes OOO,00O,0O0 Wis.,

tormer Gov. Newton c. Blanchard,
the first witness placed in the stand
by the State, gave a history Of the
waterways tracing through the parish
OF Caddo, extending from the Texas
and Louisiana line, near Jefferson, to
Noorlngsport, and especially the Ferry
Lake property involved in the suit.
Governor Blanchard testified that the
Caddo LeVee District. according to the
records on file in the general land Of
flee, acquired what is purported to be
a title from the United States govern
ment to several thousand acres of the
bed of Ferry Lake.
This land, said the witness, was
leased by the Levee Board to the Gulf
refining Company, and some of it has
been subleased to other oil companies.
and now there are between 1900 and
1,400 producing oil wells on the prop
erty. These wells were drilled in the
bed of the lake, which is now and has
always been a navigable stream"
Governor Blanchard stated that the
value Of the bed of the lake, now dot
ter with oil derricks for miles, is from
25,000,0 to s5O,OOO,O00 He further
stated that the Gulf Refining Company
has received S16,000,O00 worth Of oil
from the property and has paid to the

including Transcripts Of records, maps
and other data, showing the manner
in which the Caddo Levee District OBJ

Chapel exercises were conducted
last Friday morning by members of
the Irving Literary Society. This was
their first attempt but was a splen-
did success. It would have done
credit to girls of much greater exper-
fence.

night at Bemis. Our boys did well but

The return of students having re-
covered from measles together with
teachers from the Rural schools
makes quite a noticeable increase in
our classes.
Revs. Hardin and Bagley, of Nash
Vile, delegates to the League Con-
vention visited school Thursday morn
ing.
The highest grades of this session
were made in the last test, showing
quite an improvement on the part of
nearly all the students.
The Basket Ball team went to
Trimble for a game last Friday night
and defeated the High School Team
at that place by the score of 30 to 10.
Following that the boys went to Be-
mis- for a game Saturday night. The
game at that place was 35 to 10. Both
games were fast and hard-fought
from the beginning to the end. These
games practically close the season
which has been very successful for
our boys. The local team has lost
only four games and have gained
twenty.
We desire to express our sincere
thanks for the large number of vol
umes added to the library through
the courtesy of Mr.. H. E. Graper.
The school is very grateful for the
substantial aid received from friends
from time to time.
