POLICE JURY WILL
HEAR COUNTY AGENT PLEA

The Vernon Parish Police Jury will
meet February 6, when a representa-
tive of the State Department will be on
hand to urge the appropriation of funds
Tor a county agent.
As Vernon Parish becomes less and
less saw mill parish and more and
more an agricultural one, the need of
good county agent will be felt to be
desirable.
County agents have done wonders
in other sections of the State in build.
ing up specially crops such as straw
berries.
In one parish in this state the far
mer8 now raise over $400 of strawber.
ries per acre on land which had pro.
duced only $l2 in corn and $3.50 in
cotton. Why can't Vernon join foi
some special crop? A county agent
will help.

LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYS
A FINE PROGRAMME

An exceedingly fine program was
presented at the Dixie Pride Playhouse
on Sunday evening, January IS, and
all who were on the boards acquitted
themselves splendidly. The orchestra S
overture was we'll played, and Prof.
Martins systematic training and drill
is beginning to tell. Arthur Montro5e
and Harold Kemp presented one
act sketch wlilten by Mr.. Monro8s.
ST.. made up of a dialogue, song and
dance. And the boys did extraordm-
arily we'll. Mr.. Montrose must have
done some persistent coaching for the
Iboys to de- such excellent acting. 1t
was all true iC life.
Miss Erma Tiede favored the audi
ence with solo of superior merit and
added an encore of the same quality.
A dialogue by Miss Helen Tiede and
Miss Vinita Thurman was quite treat.
1t was the first appearance of these
two young ladies on the Colony stage in
sketch; and the successful manner
in which they performed their roles
indicates pronounced talent in that di-
'rection.
Miss Nellie Kemp sang a delightful
soloeand afterward was joined by Miss
Ruby Synoground in a duet. Both
girls did fine-just as they do every
thing else entrusted to their perform
.ance.
The Newllano Choir supplied the next
number. The song was well-done and
shows improvement right along.
Miss Trixie Ewell played piano So
10 in her well-known artistic manner,
which is always highly appreciated by
all.
Prof. Martin gave a song solo. ac-
companying himself on the guitar; pre-
facing his number with a story Of the
origin of the very touching love ditty.
He encored with song replete with
valuable hints to the young men Of the
Colony, which they should not fail to
profit by. Thank you, Professor Mar
tin.
Mr.. George Matz, the colony accor-
deon virtuoso, rendered some excellent
music on this instrument. George is a
dandy. all right. all right.
In fitting manner the orchestra
concluded the entertainment with an
exquisite melody.

CLEANUP WEEK

Spring is coming and Cleanup
Week" should be considered. Lees
vile has much to be proud of in the
way of clean town, and we should
endeavor to maintain that standard by
giving ample notice ITO all owners of
property abuting on Main Street, to
clean up within a stated time.
We know of nice residence on
Main Street that has in front of its
windows a mass of old lumber and
rotting wood that is not adding any
beauty to our town. We feel that ev-
eryone would like to have cleanup
week in Leesville; and, where the own
er will not clean up, then the town
should do it for him at his own expense.
Let's have cleanup week in LeesviIle.

JUDGE WILL SEND
BOOTLEGERS FOR LIFE

1t may be interesting to many read
ers of this paper to know that the gov
ernment had determined to stop the
manufacture and sale, or giving away
of intoxicating liquors, even though
the very limit Of the law be reached
in the punishment Of all violators.
Here is the statement of Judge Viii
Hams on the bench dealing with the
matter:
1T is within the discretion of this
court to double or triple the punish
ment meted out to violators of the pro-
hibition law, and, if he deems wise, to
send any person to prison for the re-
mainder Of his natural life-this | will
do if necessary.
Violators Of the prohibition law are
becoming so numerous that strenuous
methods are to be adopted at once, and
some people are going to suffer, and
suffer long and hard; but it is not
alone those that are doomed by the
courts to spend all their days within
prison walls for an offense like this
that our deepest sympathies go to; ii
is the wives and the children that shall
be left without fathers care, and the
family without the dear supporting arm
they so long have known and loved
and the children as they grow up will
keenly feel the sting Of shame that has
been cast upon the family for mere
nothing. 1t is as certain as the day
will come on the morrow that like a
thief in the night your Uncle Sam will
make a cleanup one Of these days. and
our wish is that Leesville, and Vernon
Parish, will show a clean sheet when
that time comes.
The game is not worth the candle
and word to the wise is sufficient.

LOST HIS TEAM;
THEN FOUND 1T AGAR

Ralph Horton never lets himself get
ratified. He got up one morning last
week and went to the barn and found
one of his teams and harness gone
Ralph was so surprised-and mad too
but he had other things on his mind
that demanded attention; because you
must know that Ralph has big job
to do on the new road. He went about
the work in the same methodical man
ner that is usual with him and for a
time forgot about the mules and har-
ness that was missing. Imagine his sur
prise to see fellow coming down the
road with the mules and the harness
attached to a wagon-and right be-
fore Ralph!
What did Ralph do? No sir, he d
not pull gun; Ralph doesn't have to
pull gun. He can take good care of
himself without shooting irons; so he
just took 'em back. and there was no
back talk talk either, so there.

MORE SKINNY FOUND

Sheriff Turner, Deputy A. B. Cain,
Marshall Craft, and Mayor Oscar Nor
MS started out on the trail of some
shinny men Saturday, and when this
bunch goes out after any one they
never come back empty-handed.
The officers got a tip that someone
was making shinny somewhere about
two miles north of town. They found
one gallon in the home Of R. G. Ra-
born and another gallon at R. c.
Crary's. Results: They are both out
on bail for $400.
Now, we wish to compliment these
fellow citizens that they got off so cas-
lily, and we are glad of it, and hope
that it will mean something to them;
because the time is coming-and it is
not far off-when the making of shin
ny will be an offense far greater than
anything one can really think about
now, because your Uncle Sammy has
said that it "haster stop; and when
that guy says so he means it. and it
will stop just as sure as the day will
dawn tomorrow.

LOUISIANA BOYS HOG WINS
SECOND PRIZE In CHICAGO

1t takes a lot of class for a pig to
get into the International Livestock Ex-
position at Chicago and a lot more
class to win. 1t takes courage to try
In such stiff company, but the reward
is sweet.
Ralph w. Shaw. 18-year-old milk
man of Loranger, La, is back from
Chicago with the bacon. He made the
round trip with Wildwood Orion. King,
1885, second prize senior yearling
boar at the great exposition. The rib
bon has conspicuous place in the liy-
ing room at Wildwood farm at Loren
ger.
The story dates back to when Ralph
was To-. a student in the Lorenger Ag-
ricultural High School, and the Shaws
were just going in for hogs in connec-
ton with their dairy business. That
was two years ago. The Shaws select
ed their first Duroc-Jersey hogs at I'm
eedus farm not far away. One day,
early in 1920, Uneedus Sensation, one
Of the farm favorites, farrowed lit
ter of likely pigs that were sired by
Uneedus Orion King. The school boy
Snowman selected Wildwood Orion
King and groomed him for the Florida
Parishes fair late that year. The lit
tie fellow ran off with first prize SEN
ior boar Dig.
In 1921, well on its way to hoghood,
Wildwood Orion King mopped up again
at the~Florida Parishes fair. This time
he came away not only as first prize
senior, but grand champion of the
whole works. There was encourage
ment there, SO the trip to theS Internal
tional was made. 1t isn't often that a
youngster of Is gets in on the money
there-he is lucky if he gets mention
ed among those present but when
boy can put over on the old heads in
the big game and come away with Sc
cond in that great show, you can count
his entry in as real pig. All of the
best in the United States and Canada
are there.
