I Do8not like the kind OF books,
| wheresa all the folks wear gloomy looks,
And every lamp with tears is damp,
Andalife is bleak and chilly;
Were families are much decaycd,
And hetoines are all betrayed,
And at the last the whole blame cast
Implanted meath the lily.
Il may be realistic dope
70 hsng the hero with rope,
And have the bride try suicide,
orstage, a little murder;
But tot myself 1 dare to say
Ny friends do not go on that way,
such stuff is rot, ask you what
1stsiser or absurder
don't mind tragedy BIT
Bit hate characters who quit
Anastear their hair in said despair
When fortunes smiles diminish;
The kind Of book i think is great
u one where man stands up to Fate
And win or lose, with brain and thews
Keeps fighting to the finish

POULTRY CIRCLE MADE
FIRST SHIPMENT SATURDAY

Under the supervision of the
parish demonstration forces a
poultry and egg circle was orga-
nized here Saturday and the first
shipment of selected eggs made.
The meeting was held at the
Emporium, where the organiza-
lion was perfected, plans explain
ed by the demonstration agents.
and the first shipment prepared
A. r. Arceneaux was elected
secretary of the circle.
Eggs and poultry handled by
this plan command fancy prices
for the reason that only select
products are shipped, and these
to buyers who want choice pro-
ducts and are willing to pay the
price. The circle has other fea-
lures that command it to poultry
producers.
The parish demonstration
agents are working diligently to
build up a number of these cir
cles throughout the parish.

BARBER SHOP CHANGES
HAND

Euzebe Louviere has sold his
barber shop to Ernest Fontenot,
the change in ownership and
management to take place Mon
day morning. Mr.. LOuviere has
been engaged in the barbering
trade in Welsh for nearly twen-
ty years, and his associates deep
ly regret his departure from the
familiar station. He states that
failing health makes a change ne
ceSSary and that he will probably
so west for a time, hoping to get
relief.
Ernest Fontenot, his successor,
needs no introduction to the trade
He has grown up in the commu-
nifty and is known to everyone,
old and young, during the late un-
pleasant conflict with Germany
he served his country, doing duty
with the A. E. F. across the big
pond. AT the close of his period
of service he entered the employ
of Anthony Hebert, under whose
able tutorship he has perfected
himself in the tonSorial art. There
is no question about his success
as a proprietor.
