A nature writer who sets the rules
for Long Island hunters has given
out at request the following injunc-
tions to members Of the sportsmens'
club of which he is member, he says
"Although I have never believed it
a good policy to give advice to pes-
sons older and more experienced than
myself, I have been requested by "a
prominent Long Island conservation
ist and sportsman to prepare set
of rules for hunters who do~ cunning
on the great stretch of land this fall
and winter.
''The following are the rules that
| have prepared, which / believe will
serve the purpose:
Don't fire at anything until you
are certain that it is game bird or
animal.
"When firing at ducks in grassy
places, make sure that there are nc
other persons in the vicinity whom
you might accidentally hit.
0Never walk through heavy thick
cts with loaded gun cooked.
"When you have fired a double
barreled shotgun make certain that
both shells exploded.
"Before starting a fire make sure
that there is nothing about that might
ignite.
"When you have finished cooking
and find no further use for your fire
extinguish it, using sand or mud t
put out the embers.

COMMISSIONERS
ARE SUSTAINED
BY UPPER COURT
Court of Appeal Reverses Decision of
Judge Leblanc in City
Election Case.

The Court of Appeals, on Thurs
day sitting at Baton Rouge, through
Judge Leche as the organ of the
:ourt, reversed the Judgment of the
lower court in the case of K. A. Au-
coin and others against Joseph N.
Gisclard and others. The court in it's
opinion, sustained the exception OF
no cause or right of action, filed by
the defendent to the suit.
The court in it's opinion saying
"It is an axiom adopted by all the
courts of this country, that the con-
testing of votes and that is precisely
what this suit has for it's purpose, is
not a judicial function, except in so
far as it is so ordained by statute.
We can find no law authorizing an
elector to institute an action to GUST
another elector from Office, whether
it be for the reason that the latter
was elected in an election, which is
voidable, or for any other reason.
Custer proceedings against public
officer are provided for in special
statutes and must be brought under
certain forms and in the name Of the
state.'
The suit was filed in the dis
trict court on May 13, 1921, by
K. A. Aucoin, Henry Goette and
L. J. Escheverrie, republican nom-
inees for the Offices of mayor,
commissioner of finance and commis-
sioner of streets and parks, respec-
lively, in the election held May 7,
1921, against the victorious demo-
cratic candidates, Jos. N. Gisclard,
Charest Thibaut and D. Ohlmeyer.
The prayer Of the suit was that the
election be held null and void, based
on the alleged error made by the
Secretary of State in printing on the
official ballot used on the occasion,
the name of L. J. Escheverria as re-
publican candidate for commissioner
of finance, when in fact he was the
nominee for the Office of commission
er Of streets and parks, and name of
Henry Goette as candidate for the
office Of commissioner of streets and
parks, when in truth he was the nomi-
nee for commissioner of finance.
In the hearing of the case before
Judge Leblanc of the district court
the contention Of the plaintiffs was
upheld and an appeal was taken by
the defendants of the Court of Ap-
peal, with the result of the decision
rendered Thursday, reversing the de-
cision of Judge Leblanc.
Unless an appeal is taken by the
plaintiffs to the supreme court, the
felectlon on May 7, 1921, witt stane
as final IT. is not 1ika1v the case
will be taken to the higher court.

New York Once Under Water.

Though many people have a gen
eral idea that large parts of the
United States have at times in the
past been covered by the ocean, it is
perhaps not so generally known that
the continent is even now rising in
some places and sinking in others.
Not so very long ago, in a geologic
sense, the Hudson River flowed
through deep canyon or gorge at
New York City. Soundings show that
this ancient gorge extends through
New York Harbor and far out to
sea. The land surface in this region
has evidently been lowered, allowing
the ocean to creep in on the land,
fill the old river channel, and in
places wholly submerge it. The ocean
at one time submerged more of the
land about New York than it does
now, for in excavations made for
some of the skyscrapers the remains
of oysters and other saltwater ami
mails have been found. By the ma
ture of fossils thus found the paleon-
tologists of the United States Gelogi-
cal Survey have been able to tell ap-
proximately when and how far the
orean invaded the land. They have
found evidence of a subergence that
was wider and older than that which
now floods the ancient Hudson River
gorge. New Workers need not, how
ever, feel alarmed about the ups and
downs Of their ashland, for though
this submerg,ence. is not so very old

GET CONTRACT FOR ROAD
Picard Construction Company to
Build Chacahoula Highway.

T he Picard Construction Company
of Geismar, has been awarded the
contract for building Of the highway
between Thibodaux and Morgan
City, better known as the Chacahoula
road. The contract price is $141,-
685.52. Construction work will be-
gin within six months and four and
seven-eights miles will be built, which
will shorten the route between Thibo-
daux and Morgan City about twenty
five miles. The specifications call for
surfacing a road eighteen feet wide,
covered with two layers of clam
shells. The clearing for the road
will be $50 feet wide.
The selection of the Picard com
pany as the builders of the new road
is received with much satisfaction by
the people in this parish, as the mem
bers Of the Picard company reside
here and it is one of the progressive
home concerns.

CERTIFIED POTATO SEED.
Tiebout Tells How Nebraska Seed
Can Now Be Obtained.

G. L.Tiebout, horiculturist of the
department Of agriculture, is anxious
that farmers in this state plant good
seed for their crops. He insists that
it will pay any farmer to get only the
best of seed as a better product
always results and consequently high
er prices for the crop are to be OBJ
tanned.
Mr.. Tiebout has just sent out let
ter regarding potato seed, in which
he explains how the Nebraska certi-
ed stock can be obtained. The letter
reads:
"From all indications, parties in
Louisiana who are in the market for
carload lots of certified Triumph Irish
potato seed should place their orders
with Nebraska growers Immediately
since the stock in first hands is being
rapidly depleted.
Those wishing some fine certified
Triumphs at 50 10 $3.50 per hundred
should seenin1ras 1t e at once as there
are only about fifteen cars left al
these prices. Our circular of Novem
Der 10 gives the names, (omit Gade
ken who has sold) of all the growers
whose stock according to our infor'
nation can be had at such prices
Recent quotations of about fifty cars
range from So to 1886 per hundred
weight, showing that the trend of the
market is rapidly upward. Right now
seems to be- the time to place order:
for late delivery at a very substantial
saving. Interested parties should mo-
| try to trade bv letter, preferably use
kilograms.
"Two hundred dollars per car a.
the time the order is given and bal
ance sight draft, bill of lading at
tached, seems to be about the usua
terms given by growers. There are
some exceptions however, and thl

''It should be remembered that thi!

ness arrangements. They must bt
