PANAMA AGAIN FAILS
TO OVERTURN AWARD
Asks United States to Use Its In
huence on Costa Rica to
Provide for Arbitration.

Further efforts Of Panama to have
it's boundary dispute with Costa Rica
again arbitrated have failed or ap-
proval at the State Department
The first request for consideration
of the question at The Hague was re-
fused, the State Department replying
that Panama had an. arbitrai award
already made to which she would be
expected to conform.
The second note asked that the
United States use its influence upon
Costa Rica to agree to arbitration. 1t
was contended that since Costa Rica
was one of the signatories of the Ver-
sailles treaty she was bound to sub
nit the case for adjudication. The
United States has not replied to the
second note, but 1t was indicated to-
day that 1t would not alter it's posi-
ton.

Examine Bee Hives and Note
Condition.

Spring management of bees is very
if the bees are expected to
produce much honey the following
season, said e. C. Davis, specialist in
bee culture at the State University
extension division. After the warm
weather has set in it is best to go
through each hive carefully, see what
condition they are in and supply
food where it is needed, he said:
Starvation in the spring will cause
the queen to stop laying continued
Mr.. Davis. There are two kinds of
one is absolute when the
bees have no honey the other is rela-
tive when the bees have. so little
honey that they cannot raise brood.
In the latter case the surplus honey
should be taken from the wel1-sup-
piled hives and given to the weaker
colonies. This will tide over some of
the colony which otherwise would die.
"The more bees in the early spring,
the greater the amount of nectar is
gathered by them and hence a larger
supply of honey. AS early as possible
go through each hive and if the col
onies are weak unite two or more of
them and make one strong colony.
One of these strong colonies will
produce surplus Of one to two hum
dred pounds Of honey, while the two
weak ones would not produce any"

TO BUILD CONCRETE ROADS.
Higher Auto License and Tax on Gas
cline TO Provide Funds. s

Secretary of State J. j. Bailey gave
out a statement at Baton Rouge a
few days ago in which he declared
that bond issue of $30,000,00O to
build concrete roads throughout the
state Us possible without an increase
in the state tax rate. Mr.. Bailey es-
Inmates that there are 100000 pleas
ure ears and $1,000 trucks operating
in Louisiana and that the present Ii
cense tax could be increased to a
minimum of $40 on pleasure cars and
$35 on trucks, which would make the
total tax $685. 900. He figures that
the average car consumes five gallons
Of gasoline per day, and on the basis
that 100000 of the 200 are op-
Grated daily, the consumption of gas
oline would be 100000 gallons per
day. A tax of one cent per gallon
would yield $4,000 per day, or ST.
|825,000 for the year. By combining
the license and gasoline taxes, the to-
tai revenue derived would amount to
3,350,000, which he says would be
sufficient to warrant the issuance of
$50, 100000 bonds.
A portion of this bond issue would
be set aside to back the issue, says
Mr.. Bailey, and there would be a de-
duction for the upkeep Of the roads
but with these deductions there still
would be a fund sufficient for the
building of approximately 1000 miles
Of concrete roads.
Mr.. Bailey fears that opposition to
such plan might develop on the
part Of the parishes, which might
want to keep the money paid into
such fund for road building in their
respective communities; this he be-
lieves would defeat the plan, as the
fund would have to be concentrated
in order that's continuity Of road
building might be maintained.
Mr.. Bailey declared that gravel
roads in this state are far from being
a success and that their construction
seems to him to be waste Of money.
The concrete road he says is the most
economical and satisfactory.

400 motorcycles and SIT dealers reg
istered in the state. The total
amount of the tax collected this year
being $385,827.53. Mr.. Bailey esti-
mates that collections from the de-
Iinquents would. increase the fund
approximately 100000.
The Donaldsonville chief., 1921-03-26

Congress will be asked to reduce
the federal taxes that ''the average
man. must pay. The proposals for
tax reductions submitted call for eli
mination of the excess profits and
surtax rates. Some favor reducing
the tax that affects the average man
from 4 to 2 per cent. Other sug-
gestions are thatust, ater exemptions
be allowed, sucREe 300 for single
men and $4,000 for married men. 1t
is also claimed that the $500 exemp-
ton for each child is too low, and an
increase of the amount to S4O0 or
$500 will be asked.

Honest INSPECTION.

Dipping for ticks should be voluns
tary, if this could be brought about
there would not be the need of paid
inspectors to see the work done,
every man would be his own inspec-
tor to carry out all that was necessary
to eradicate the tick. Why can't all
people be honest and do this? Does
anybody really believe it could be
done this way? If this is the way it
should be done, does it not prove it
to be a peoples work? The need of
an inspector in tick eradication is the
same as the need of inspectors in
other undertakings. All people at
all times are not to b depended up
on, hence some one / check up the
work. It cann,sfhis will not be
done any other aable.r

TO EXPORT RICE.
Plan Proposed to Exchange Cerea
for Manufactured Products.

At a meeting of Che board Of di-
rectors Of the Rice Farmers Coop
erative Association, Inc, held in the
city Of Crowley on March Is, it was
unanimously voted to devise ways
and means to export 40 per cent of
the remaining crop to European
countries.
According to the members of the
Rice Farmers Cooperative Associa-
ton at the meeting on Thursday, the
export of 40 per cent? Of the crop
would be made easy if the banks of
hte rice belt would cooperate with
the farmers. They propose to send
representatives to European coun-
tlles for the purpose of proposing to
those countries that they take the
neesand exchange their manufactured
goods in payment. In view Of the
low value of foreign money, it is es-
tlmated that the farmers would be
able to dispose of their rice at a
profitable figures since the European
manufactured goods are in such de.
L mand in this countryo
Since the majority of the rice un-
sold is virtually in the hands Of the
bankers. the financial institutions of
the rice belt will be asked to cooper.
ate with the farmers A meeting of
the bankers will be asked fors at
which the members Of the Rice Farm
ers Cooperative Association will re-
veal their plan in DETAIL
j, Europe IS starving.' SAID one of
t1e directors. "but has surplus of
goods that represents an everyday
need to the American people. The
goods such as musical inetruments,
hardware, tools, percela ;nware and
I toys could be exchanged for rice an
profitable basis both for Che .Alneri-
can rice producer and the European

Whv Colds Are Dangerous.

It is the. serious diseases that colds
lead to that makes them dangerous.
They prepare the system for the re-
ception and development of the
germs of Influenza, pneumonia, tuber-
culosis, dyptheria, scarlet fever,
whooping cough and measles. You
are much more likely to contract
these diseases when you have a cold.
For that reason you should get rid OF
every cold as quickly as possible;
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will
help you. 1t is widely known as a
cure for bad colds.-(Adv.)

Quit Using Telephones.

It is reported from Monroe that
the Delhi exchange Of the Cumber-
land Telephone Company is practical
" out of commission, as result Of
a majority of the subscribers .ceas-
ing to use the service in face of the
recent increase in rates. Leaders in
the Delhi movement maintain that
they intend to fight. it out along
these lines II it takes all summer. 2
A movement has been started by
which it is hoped to enlist Monroe,
Rayyil1e and other northeastern Lou
isiana cities in the general boycott.
Such movement, if it became state
wide would soon force the Cumber-
land company to terms or put it out
of business in this state altogether.
