CITY ELECTION NOW
WARMING UP

Mr.. Lee McAlpin, Jr,, having with
drawn from the race for Mayor Of
1eesville, the contest has now narrow
ed down to the present incumbent. Hon.
Oscar E. Morris. and DR.. ]. F. Smith.
both Of whom are sanguine of success
at the polls on tuesday, April Nth.
The canvass of the two candidates is
progressing quite lively, although not
boisterously, nor attended by any spec
tacular features, People just talk,
some praising the Mayor and his bus
iness-like work as the executive head
Of the LeeswilIe municipality; while
others, advocating the election of Doc

their candidates ought to be given a

that the two candidates are equally

WEST LA. BANK NOW
in RECEIVERS HANDS

The demise Of the West Louisiana
bank is now an assured fact. 1t has
gone into the hands of receiver, Mr..
John RI Watkins of Shreveport in
charge. The defunct bank is now UNI
der process of liquidation. This was
because Mr.. Ward, who tried in every
way to save the bank, failed to rally
the depositors of the old,bank to come
to the rescue by subscribing for stock.
Had this been accomplished, there is
little doubt but the old bank would
have opened the doors and every de-
position would have received dollar for
dollar.
We are informed that there are
$l5O,OOO loanel on real estate. While
there are other loans,some good, some
not SO good, some worse, all this paper
must be converted into money before
any can be paid out. How much on
the dollar will be paid is a questionable
matter. No one seems to have the re-
hottest idea. Yet Mr.. Watkins seems
very hopeful in the matter and thinks
that after 60 days there will be the
first payment made. Each depositor
should be sure to leave his name and
address with the officials, SO that they
can be reached when the time comes.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 1o.-Two
youthful heroes were made by the

Ethel Green. aged fourteen of this city.
Eugene Warwick. aged seventeen. the
other youth, was able to, save two

her face and grasp her rescuer. Both
went down and We're not seen again.
1t is believed the swift current carried
them down the river.

QUANTITIES OF JUNK
REMOVED TO THE DUMPS

The homes of Washington got rid
of approximately 800 wagonloads. of
junk during cleanup week. which
ended Saturday. according to pre-
l.minary report made to Commissioner
Oyster by the street cleaning depart
ment.
This was in addition to the regular
trash collections of the week and was
accomplished by assigning special
cleanup" truck to follow each reg
ular trash wagon and take articles
that are not ordinarily hauled away.
These figures represent only what
the city was able to do through
it's regular refuse disposal force.
While it is impossible to estimate the
amount of cleaning up that was done
privately, Commissioner oyster be-
lieveS it is safe to assume that WASH
ington is a more sanitary and at
tractive community today than it was
when the week opened
The commission urged the people,
however, not to let up in their eff
forts merely because the official
clean-up period has passed.

Owing to the stoo-pendous GiZe of

The parade will be missed most Of
all by the school children, who used
to march from all sections of the
city to the line of march on the
morning Of the opening day to gaze
upon the gay wagons and the blood
sweating Behemoth of Holy Writ and
the clown band-and to listen to the
heavenly strains Of the calliope.
The Ringlings reluctantly decided
last year that the street parade had
become impracticable because of the
increased size of the circus. That
was after the show had purchased
Europe's foremost wild animal cir
Gus. The abandonment of the pa

Japan agreed in Washington to re-
turn the Shantung railway and the
salt mines to China upon payment
of an equitable sum by China, de-
