Marjorie Daw, one of the screens
newest and most charming stars,
comes to the Murray theatre Monday
in THE Butterfly Girl a sparkling
satirical comedy that presents her in
=. the role of a very modern young WON
. an in pursuit of romance and adven-
ture.
Edith Folsom was hardly to blame
for her outlook on life. She had been
reared with the proverbial silver
spoon and she reflected the atmos-
phere Of the pampered idleness of her
environment. When she inherited her
money, she calmly left her aunts
home and went to a big city, where
the field for her conquests would be
greater.
She was az much fitted to accept
the responsibility of taking care OF
herself as butterfly in a gale. She
thought only of luxuries and a good
time; of flirting and the admiring
glances OF men. She wasted her mon
ey; she lost the respect of her best
friend because of her imprudent con
duct; she made many an old and
young heart beat out of tune, and she
upset the domestic calm of a happy
couple before she awakened to a
realization of her own shortcomings
and the part she must play in the
business of life.
The Butterfly Girl" was written by
John German and directed by him. II
gives Miss Daw a splendid chance to
display the versatility of her talent
and the naivete of her girlishness. The
supporting cast is headed by such
wellknown and capable players as
King Baggott and FRITZ Brunette
augmented by Leslie Darnell, Jean Du
Briac and Ned Whitney Raymond.

ish Judge. Under the old regime
when we had parish courts the incum-
bant OF the office was not required to
no lawyer and that phase OF the old
constitution should be adopted when
the new one Is devised. AS the parish
courts are to have about the same Jur-
addiction as the justice OF the peace
courts a change as to qualifications
Of candidates should not be even con-
eidered. The main idea is to abolish
the cumbersome and expensive JUS
tice Of the peace system and all that
is necessary in the premises is to es-
tablish the office of parish judge and
let the qualifications for candidates
for that position remain as they now
are for the office of justice OF the
peace. There are many men in each
parish in the state-men who have
had much experience as justices OF
the peace-who would ably fill the po-
sition Of parish judge. To shut these
men out as prospective candidates be-
cause they are not practicing attor-
ney would be manifestly unfair, and
the convention should lend no listen
ing ear to any coterie who back such
a proposition.

ANNUAL PERSHING WAY
CONVENTION IN RUSTON

New Orleans, Feb. 2O.-Plans for
the greatest highway meeting ever
held in the south are being perfect
ed by the Louisiana Pershing Way
association for the annual meeting of
this body to be held in Ruston, March
q.
Advices received here by Arthur
w. VanPelt, president of the state or
ganization, are to the effect that Rus
ton is planning a welcome to rhe dele
gates that will exemplify to The full
est extent the motto of the highway
The Friendly Way
Word has been received that Her
bert F. McDougal, general secretary
and manager OF the Per5.....s Way,
will come to Louisiana especially Tor
the meeting at RustOn and will bring
with him full evidence of the wonder
full development of the highway
throughout the north
Reports received from al parts Of
Louisiana show splendid work done
during the past year toward he COM
pletion of the highway. 9ond issues
aggregating more than 'our T illions
of dollars were authorize through the
efforts Of Pershing Way organizations
and as the result of Pershing Way &C
tivities. Reports on all of the activi-
ties Of the Pershing Way during the
past year will be heard at the conven-
ton and plans will be made to con-
tinue and broaden these activities dur
ing the coming year.
One feature Of the convention will
be the presence of a number of the
most prominent women in Louisiana,
who are intensely interested in the
Pershing Way and have demonstrate
ed this interest by doing yoemans
work for it. Location of camping
sites, the Identification of the high
way and the construction of the road
links are matters on which womens
clubs and organizations as well as in
dividuals, have done splendid work
in the past and they now promise
still more work along this line.
Louisiana has received much nation
al advertising from her location on
the Pershing Way and VIII receive
tremendous benefits from tourist trav
el when the highway is completed.
This is the goal before the State
Pershing Way association and will be

MOVING THE RICE CROP

There SENS to be two conflicting
classes among those interested in the
rice industry One blames the stagn-
alton in the market and the lack of a
healthy movement of the crop on the
rice growers association. They boil
ster up their claims by stating that
the association is attempting to gobble
up every branch Of the growing, sell
ing Of the rough rice, milling and
final marketing without reference %
the middle man. If this plan was alb
andoned by the association, they
state, rice would begin to move im
Hediately through old-time channels
If there is any real basis for this
charge we are unaware Of it; but
that there is something radically
wrong we feel sure.
It is evident that the present de-
gnand for the rice is now small as
compared with year ago. Whether
the era Of high prices last year had
a lettering effect on the consumers
or not, is difficult to say. Rice as a
diet has never been popular in the
United States except among a small
class of people. A few years ago a
spasmodic attempt was made to pop
HlariZe it in order to place the industry
on a safe and sound basis
Those most interested, however, lost
sheir heads and their judgment when
the war brought on the era of high
prices and farmers, buyers, and mill
ers Immediately began TO speculate on
still higher prices for the crop. we
all realize now that this policy was
suicidal but the past con not be re,
called in order to rectify errors on
Judgment and the next best thing is
to start over again the lesson OF tech
ing the American people how good
and how cheap rice is as a diet We
must forget Old jealousies; drop the
internal war raging within the ranks
of the interests and al get to work
to place along side of cotton, sugar,
wheat, etc Nothing else will do,
and unless some sensible Pima is adj
opted the rice industry is bound to
Ianguish for a long time to come, and
Louisiana and large class Of its
farmers can not afford to witness any
such thing

THE PARISH JUDGES

Under the plan formulated by the
committee Of the sttae bar associa-
ton the adjustment of justices of the
peace is proposed and the substitution
therefor of parish judges with prac-
tically the same jurisdiction Of the
justices Of the peace. Incumbents Of
the office OF parish Judge must be law
yers except in parishes Of twenty-five
thousand people. This last idea is
~ather far-fetched, for if parish judge
must be lawyer in one parish why
not require him also to be a lawyer
in all parishes?
AS the Mansfield Enterprise we'll
states, there is absolutely no necessity
for an lyman being lawyer in order
to qualify for the position. Few jus
tees of the peace now serving are at
torneys, and there should be no
change whatever in the qualifications
Of candidates for the position of par

they we're drained and graded. They
claimed that owners Of horses and
other draft animals were constantly
under heavy expense to keep them
sbod when travelling graveled reads
Blacksmiths in a few localities charg7
one dollar per foot for sh0eing such
animals.
There may be considerable logic in
this statement 1t has long been
apparent that the parish has been
spending an enormous sum of money
each twelve months in order to get
better roads and as much Of the work
is done in a slipshOd manner the
money paid for grading roads is IN
way wasted or productive of little re-
suits. So little real attention is paid
TO the matter and manner Of drainage
hat what appears to be splendid work
in grazing really amounts to very little
when rainy weather sets in. Hard
surfaced roads also suffer much from
poor drainage, e. unless some
systematic and ..o2 :cic plan OF dis
posing of surplus water is devised and
put into operation the expenditure OF
money for graveled roads seems
waste.
There is no question but that we
can have better roads in this parish
even if not hard-surfaced, if we can
establish a better system of drainage,
but in some of the sticky or gumbo
lands it is doubtful if even scientific
grading and drainage will eliminate
the evils of bad roads. These soils
hold water like sponge and the
least traffic over them when wet cuts
them to pieces and make them re-
gular bogholes in a short time. 1t
ceems ABSOLUTELY necessary to hard
surface them in order to guarantee
their permanency. On the roads sit
uated in sections where the soil is
not OF the "gumbo" type well-graded
ard drained they will serve every pur-
pose required by the travelling
public.
