YOUNG EvERaREEN TREE
Is BASE BALL ENTHUSIAST

Young Evergreen Tree made
trip to Pueblo last aturday to see
the flood damage, but he made sure
to return in time to help win the
ball games at Crowley on Sunday
and the Fourth of July game at
Rocky Ford the next day. So far In
this personal mention the whole
thing may seem q joke but Mr..
Trees first name is Young and his
middle name is Evergreen, so the
whole name is just as first given,
Young Evergreen Tree.
Tree is an Indian and a member
of the Cochiti tribe of the Pueblo
Indians OF New Mexico. He is liv-
ing here now and farming. He has
received schooling at the govern.
ment Indian schools and is well

OPPORTUNITY TO
SECURE GOOD SEED

The fine quality of the wheat be-
ing marketed this year from the
south side, will give wheat growers
who desire to do so an opportunity
to secure the best of seed for their
fall planting. This wheat Is of ex-
ira fine quality, being graded as
No. dark and brings the top price
on the local market although much
Of it is being hauled direct from the
harvester-thresher to the elevator.
Manager Sam Smith of the Holly
Elevator informs the Chieftain that
he will be glad to arrange to sup
ply any of the farmers who wish to
change their seed.

TRAINED HOG HAS WORTHY
RIVAL IN Mr.. KERR'S
GEESE

NATCHEZ, Miss, April 30.-J. T.
Kerr planter of COncordia parish, la,
and member of the Fifth District
Levee Board, says he has pair Of
trained wild geese fully equal in in
telligence of the famous hunting hog
of Col. Tucker Gibson, the noted big
game hunter of Natchez and Tensas
parish. Mr.. Kerr says ne has just
finished teaching the geese to fish
and declares as they already knew how
to swim and dive it was only neces-
sary to impress on them to catch the
fish and bring them to the boat which
he rows alongside.
In speaking of the geese Mr.. Kerr
said his greatest trouble was teach
ing the geese to discriminate in the
kind of fish as he only wanted perch,
bass or trout. He declares this diff
ficulty has been overcome and he
is prepared to give demonstrations at
Lake st. John, in Concordia parish,
at any time.

FLIRTING WITH DEATH.

Bill Averitt, painter, residing in
Bogalusa, La, exploded the gas tank
of his Studebaker with a match one
night in the latter part of March. The
explosion was most successful, as he
found exactly what he was looking
for-fire!
Fred Leblanc, who was filling the
car with gasoline at the time,
hastily shut off the supply, and went
to the rescue Of Averitt, and with the
aid of fire extinguisher extinguished
the fire, averting an explosion.
When one stops to consider that
gallon of gasoline has the explosive
power Of eighty-three pounds Of
dynamite, it is not hard to imagine
what could have happened.
NEVER 60 around an automobile
or gasoline tank with a lighted match
or open light Of any kind, II you can
not do better, use a hand electric
light. Better be safe than sorry

NEWSPAPER ERRORS.

Occasionally some one asks why 1t
is that errors appear in the news
papers. There seems to be an idea
in the public mind that the papers
should be free of all blunders, and
when an error is discovered there is
an impression created that some one
connected with the office of that par
ticular paper is incapable of discharg-
ing the duties which have been en-
trusted to. his care.
But if one would consider for a
moment the vast number of oppor-
tunities for mistakes to occur, there
would be less fault-finding. In every
column of a newspaper there are a.
bout 1000 opportunities for errors
about 35 to each line of print. In a
paper the size of the Gazette there are
about $4,000 places where mistake
could be made to each page printed.
Where is there any other business
which offers half so many opportuni-
ties for mistakes, and where is there
any other business where errors are
placed SO glaringly before the public
eye? There are usually two or more
people employed on city dailies whose
duty it is to do nothing but watch fol
errors; yet mistakes get by them and
mar the appearance Of the paper.
It matters not how carefully papers
are guarded against errors, these lit.
tie things which make the manage.
ment of the paper, whether it be large
or small, feel like saying ugly words
will creep in and cause trouble.

SANDERS, THE MASTER.

The other day in the Constitution
al Convention, when Ex-Governor j.
Y. Sanders successfully defended his
pay as you go" plan for the build
ing Of public highways in the State
of Louisiana, standing on his feet
four hours, engaging in two score OF
debates and emerging winner in
them all, he again clearly demonstrate
ed to the citizens of this great COM
monwealth that he is one of the big
gest brains we have. He manifested
that he is the master of them all.
He was reported as being more
eloquent than ever and lacking none
of the oldJtime mastery which made
him such a powerful figure in the
Legislature few years ago." He
was described as having assumed
complete control of the Constitution
al Convention. He defended his
road ordinance against every attack,
downing all amendments which were
not acceptable to him, and appeared
absolutely to dominate that body of
the States best talent and brains.
A man no less than a master of
his subject, fortified with fund OF
information, sincere and enthused
and capable of presenting his case
in the clear light that all might see
and understand, could have perform
ed this remarkable feat.
Without any reflection upon the
other members of the convention
which body we consider is composed
of some of the ablest men in thu
State today, we say without hesita
ton that Sanders appears as thu
foremost member of that angus
assemblage. He has always spoken
when appearing in public or in tn
halls Of the legislature or the consti
tutional convention, from a patriot
and full heart. His utterances hav
been and are now those of man deep
ly in love with his State, and earnest
ly desirous Of promoting her high
est prosperity and happiness. He
an ardent patriot, a jealous and tru
friend, and a statesman of real abili
ty, and his recent retirement to pub
lie life is no less than a public ca
lamity. To dispose with his sci
vices at this time is almost crimina
and many already realize the grea
miscarriage Of that election. He
too big man to fail to "come back,
and his retirement will soon appea
TO all who think and are unbiased a
no less than tragedy, and the elect
ors soon will be seeking TO corret
this grievous injury to themselves an
to their great State-Richland Be-
con~News.

BUcKINc THE GOLD BRICK.
(Celina Texas Record.)

The government experts and bank
ers told us to invest in Govern
ment securities-bonds, War Savings
Stamps, ETC., but there was so much
more to be made bucking the oil or
automobile game that the advice
didn't appeal to US. We wanted to
get quick action on our money and
jump at once into wealth and af-
fluence. Many of US took the leap but
did not land where we expected to
land. The jolt when we hit the ground
awoke US to the fact that instead of
taking down about 800 per cent on the
principal invested, we could not even
locate the principal, while the slick
tongued guy with the beautifully
engraved stock certificates knew
right where to find it and was regu-
larly drawing checks upon it. The
advice of these government experts
and our banker friends may not
tickle the ear like the line put out
by the oil stock salesman, but the
fellow who takes it will not need
10 lie awake nights wondering why
he was such an easy mark.

JUSTICE SHOULD BE GIVEN
WHERE JUSTICE is DUE.
Grand Jury Sits in Four Day SEES
sion Investigating Conduct Po-
lice Jury-Cood Report.
(Concordia Sentinel.)

(Concordia Sentinel.)
Elsewhere We publish the full re-
port of the Grand Jury OF Concor-
dia parish, which sat in a four day
session in Vidalia this week, investl-
eating all alleged attractions of the
law, and from the diligent search
made in to all reports, it may be
accepted that all irregularities were
properly looked into and proper re-
port made.
There seems to be considerable
unfavorable sentiment in the parish
on the manner in which the Police
Jury has been conducting the building
of the model roads, and various
allegations of an unkind Nature were
made against the President, Hon. b.
C. Brown. The Grand Jury was in
formed that Mr. Brown had written
a letter to some gravel company, i'm
plying that for some consideration,
he (Mr. Brown could land them
contract for supplying the parish
with gravel; whereupon, the Grand
Jury searched the statement to the
very ground, and it proved to be
matter of hear-say and absolutely
without foundation. We mention this
in Justice to Mr.. Brown, who has been
the victim of such unfortunate criti-
cism, in order that the people may
know that the report has been found
positively untrue.
Mr.. Brown has served as President
of the Police Jury in most distin-
guishable manner, and has really ac-
complished the securing of model
gravel roads for the parish. He has
given of his time and even money in
the building of that splendid system
! of roads of which our parish will
soon be justly proud, and will then
, receive the thanks of all our citizens
for his unselfish devotion to the
, project. The Grand Jury has searched
: we'll and found absolutely nothing
: in his conduct which is in any way
: questionable, and we think he should
: be highly praised for what he has
5 accomplished, rather than unjustly
e criticised for things he did not do.
: The Sentinel desires to serve for
: the cause of justice, and is glad OF
: the opportunity of bringing before
: the people the facts in this case. We
|, neither court the favor nor fear the
t prejudice of any one in standing fol
S right, and respectfully tender oul
y view of the situation and sincerely
r trust that those who have been mis-
S informed as to Mr.. Browns conduct
: of the affairs of the Jolice Jury, vii
t acquaint themselves with them, anG
d give credit where credit is due.
: We back our opinion solely upor
the action of the Grand Jury. Ac
cusations of misconduct in office mus
be based on facts. Until such fact
are proven we have no right to sa.
I mean things about others. The Polic'
) Jury has stood the fire of investiga
a ton and has come out with flyin,
s colors. We congratulate them.

wagon, driven so long by Sam Boone,
died on Sunday. She was good mule
and her loss will be seriously felt by
the town, which now only has one

another or the disposal of the sur

GRIT SUPPLY IS ESSENTIAL
Material Takes Place Of Teeth in Pre-
pairing Fowls Food for Fur
Their Digestion.

Grit is essential to the health of
fowls IL to economy in feeding. Grit
takes the place of teeth in preparing
the feed for further digestion II is
required for the proper preparation
of feed In the gizzard. When the feed
is not properly taken care of in this
organ. an undue strain Is thrown on
the fowls system, often resulting in
disease and also allowing much of the
nutriInent TO pass through the birds
body without being absorbed. In
every pen or yard a box of grit should
be kept. Recent investigators have
asserted that grit is u part Of the
necessary feed of Il flock, giving the
fowls strong bones and Il bright plum
age.
Ordinarily. the hen does not con.
sumo enough lime to form the shells
of eggs, If she is laying |abundantly,
unless something besides the ordinary
grain feeds Is accessible to her. Oy-
ster shells are very good for this pur-
pose. A box of crushed shells may be
placed before the fowls, allowing them
to eat ut will. Old mortar and fine
gravel are also useful In supplying
lime. say poultry specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture.
Charcoal readily Absorbs gases. i'm
purities, and acids, and thu acts as n
corrective when the stomach Is u

Is the Russian Rebellion Likely to
Overthrow the Bolshevists?
By SIR PAUL DUKES, in New York World

Ny personal opinion is that this anti-Bolshevik uprising is premature
The last was lquidated only four months ago and it left the workers with
out rms and without organization. Four months seem a very short
time in which to organize a successful counterrevouton, especially when
the horde of spies of the extraordinary commission, including almost the
entire staff of the days of carbon, are actively at work everywhere.
If it be successful, the outcome will be, first of all, chaos and anarchy
Out of this may arise some fgurehead Or eve some leader who would
bring order out of the confusion. This leader may be Kerensky OF Vic
tor Chernof, both Of whom are active. If it be unsuccessful, then the
prestige of the Bolshevik leaders will be enhanced greatly. 1t will ther
be necessary for western Europe to consider seriously the establishment
of diplomatic and trade relations with Russia, ever complete recognition
of the soviet government.
Personally, l strongly favor such recognition, for | believe thai
ignorance of the true nature of Bolshevst rule is SC complete that knowl
edge of its despotism and its horror will never fully come until the west
ern world begins actually to deal with the Bolshevists.
