Good Morning,

ashe Mos Bus Nah Nose Open
by RUDOLPH PERKINS.

"she Mos Bus Nah Nose Open
One day Isaac Sherman took a
day off and went to his room and
lay on the bed with his overalls an
and went to sleep.
His landlady, Ella Stephenson,
whom he owed two weeks rent.
heard him snore. She went in and
dumped him on the floor, but dis
appeared before Isaac couIG find out
who dumped him.
She did the same thing tEyICe more
before he found out who was dis
turbing his slumber. Then he be
came riled, took bed slat and got
busy.
Dat man nebber paid me 70

tangled Nerves No Excuse.
Edward L. HedberG is what the
army doctors call a neurOtic.
As far as Ed knows his nerves
are all in shreds. and at times he
doesn't know where he is nor what
he is doing.
Lieut.. Harry T. Trimble, at the
Public Health Service Hospital, is
alleged to have caught Ed in the act
of stealing five gallons of gasoline
and one gallon of motor oil.
The lieutenant said that even IL
Ed was a neurotic he was capable
of distinguishing between right ana
wrong.
There is also a charge of steal
ing a typewriter against Ed, but
that case has not been heard yet.
Eds explanation OF his act was
that he needed fuel for his motor
cycle. Lieut.. Trimble said he took
the gas and oil from the hospital
ambulance.
The court sent the man down. for
a month and ordered hospital treat
ment for him.

OUR JUST DESSERTS.

We all have just the kind of hus-
bands, and wies, we deserve, de-
clares Mr.. George, the famous Eng
lish novelist and essayist, who has
devoted much of his life to study
ing the domestic problem.
At first blush most of us would be
inclined to disagree with him. AT
least the unhappily married will
dissent, for the popular conception
of the situation Is that a disagree
able husband or wife is an affliction
visited upon one by a Imysterious
Providence for purposes one cannot
even pretend to understand. r-
There are few people who have
! the courage to admit that they
brought their matrimonial misfor-
| tune down on their heads by not
taking a sufficiently long and care
full look before they leaped into the
holy estate. And there are still
fewer who are willing to admit that
the domestic ills from which they
suffer are no more than what Is
coming to them because of theiI
cowardice in weakly submitting &c
maltreatment, instead of sighting
for their rights until they get them
Nevertheless this is true. We gel
| just what we demand of life, and
we do have the sort of husbands
and wives we deserve, notwith-
standing all the ma&yred husband:
tied to she-cat wives, and all the
angel ladies united to brutes thai
we know.

need stand at the stake and b'

want to, in these days.

LAEAyerrg's GOOD ROADS

IN a recent issue of one of the La
Gazette papers the statement was
made that When the present program
of road building was completed our
neighboring parish would be in the
front rank of Louisiana parishes in the
natter of hardsurfaced highways.
This is a remarkable achievement,
when It is recalled that the work Of
smprOying the roads CT Lafayette
started only few brief years ago.
The improvement has cost tremen-
dous sum of money and the matter CT
yearly upkeep also entails heavy
expense, as gravel highways have to
be constantly patched and crews OF
men must be kept on the repairing
lob all the time. The Lafayette roads
are splendid example Of community
spirit and strangers traversing those
splendid highways in automobiles are
struck with the quality Of work. The
bridges are concrete and practically
everlasting. 1t is easy for a car to
maintain high speed over every foot
OF these roads, and the temptation to
speed is very strong in the average
motorist when he rolls on the splen-
did highways Of our neighboring par
ish. 81.

PARISH AGENTS
REPORT BUSY WEEK

Three thousand pounds Of meat
were put to cure at a recent demon
stration, reports B. M. Jackson, agent
in Ouachita parish Government
methods were used. Six hundred Pc
can trees OF the best varieties were
put out at an orchard demonstration.
Ouachita parish now has three com
mercial pecan orchards.
Demonstrations in spraying and
terracing will be given as soon as the
weather permits, writes ]. V. Rabb,
agent in Washington parish. Farmers
are very anxious to have this work
done. Several farmers have brought
in samples Of syrup and the agent
is looking for market for it.
Terracing done by the agent two
years ago is holding well, and has
been Of great value to some Of the
hillside farms, writes H. v. Harris,
agent in Caldwell parish. One ter
raced farm produced the greatest
yield of velvet beans that agent ever
SOW. where terracing has been done
in a community there is always a
demand for it by other farmers.
Two carloads Of fertilizers, so tons
in all, were ordered last week on the
Bohne, agent in Allen parish The
reduced prices on carload lots will
effect savings of $40 to the farmers.
Ten demonstrations in pruning and
spraying were given this week and
20 peach trees ordered for club mem
bers. writes T. l. Watson, agent in
Madison parish. By careful attention
to proper methods of cultivation,
pruning and spraying, the life of
fruit trees can be greatly heightened
in this section.
In spite of the discouraging outlook
for financial assistance, farmers are
beginning their blowing operations
for this years crop, reports C. E. Hes
ter, agent in East Carroll parish. The
agents efforts so far have ben de-
voted largely to orchard work. More
attention is being paid to planting
and caring for home orchards than
ever before.
An auction sale Of purebred pou1-
try, Duroc-Jersey and Poland China
hogs held this week by farmers was
very successful reports E. E. Elliott,
agent in Beauregard parish At a re-
cent meeting OF the local farm bureau
a number of committees were ap-
pointed to outline the work Of the
year.
Much favorable comment has been
aroused by the club exhibit which has
been put up by the farm and homo
demonstration agents at local bank,
writes J. V. Rabb, agent in Washing
ton parish.
Nine club meetings were held dur
ing the week, with total attendance
Of 403, reports B. w. Baker assist
ant agent in Rapides parish. Teachers
as well as the boys and girls show

EVEN so DO We UNTO NE

Herbert Hoover says that there are
3,5OO,OOO children starving and freez
gng to death or being carried off by
disease in the little countries Of east
ern and central Europe.
The One who came into the world
90 save little children brought the
message that the one who fed hung
ering child fed three, the child, the
giYer and Christ.
American gifts have saved the lives
of these little ones during aftermath
Of the war. That much is written on
the good book to the credit of Amer
fca. But the cry comes now that these
little lives which belong to America
by the divine right of having saved
them. can not be sustained unless
additional aid if forthcoming.
Shall our great beneficent efforts
be wiped off the books by the blot
of letting these little ones die now?
Shall the starving and freezing in
utter misery of millions Of helpless
babies be said in the future to be due
to American indifference7
Let the great sovereign state OF
Louisiana and the people of our par
ish say no, with voice which will add
to the volume rising from the length
and breadth of the land. We must
do our bit toward averting the catas-
trophe, and we do that by supporting
the campaign being carried on under
MIR. HooVer's direction for the sum Of
S33 900, 900. The drive is backed by

lions. eight Of them. They are: The
