TO RECALL POLICE JURY HEAD.
Finances of Tangipahoa Parish De.
pieted by Costs of Criminal Court.

A petition was presented to Gov
ernor Parker several days ago, bear
| ing the signatures of fifty per cent
of the voters of the eighth ward of
Tangipahoa parish, asking the ex-
ecutive to order an election in that
ward for the recall of Charles Black,
a member and also president of the
police jury. One of the charges
brought against him is that he is not
a resident of the ward, and he is
also being attacked because of the
employment of certain Individual
on the public works who is object
tionable to the petitioners.
The parish is said to be in a Sc
rious finanrial ntseion due to the
heavy costs of the criminal court
Several expensive cases have been be.
fore the court in the past two years,
among them being the case of the
six men, not one of them citizens of
the parish, who have been tried
twice for the murder of Dallas
Gaines of Independence and found
guilty at both trials. While the case
is pending in the higher court the
parish has to pay for the mainte-
nance of the prisoners in New Or
leans.
At recent meeting the police
jury of Tangipahoa adopted the fol
lowing resolutions which reflect the
serious financial condition of the
parish:
"Whereas, the police jury is
charged with the duty Of looking
after the financial interest of the
parish, conserving its resources and
expending it's funds in the interest
Of the people,.
"Whereas, the cost of conducting
the criminal district court has within
the last two years amounted to thou
sands of dollars which we are re-
quired by law to pay before doing
any work OF public Improvement, such
as building and repairing the roads
and bridges throughout the parish,
which is being asked of US by tax
payers and for failure to do which
we are blamed by them;
"Whereas, this cost has absorbed
to such an extent the public funds
that there is no surplus for such
puDllc improvements, ana uHleSS Hall
died in method different from that
heretofore prevailing, there will be
no fuIds for future improvements
be it,
"Resolved, that the police jury ex-
press it's regret at this state of af-
fairs, hereby disclaiming responsible
ity therefor and that we ask our dis
trict judge and district attorney
who alone control such matters, to
use every effort to reduce this cost
in the future handling of the trials
Of criminal cases, and thus enable us
to have funds for much needed pub
lie improvements"

Placing Soldiers.

Perhaps the government of the
United States has not done all it
might have done for former service
men in the way of fitting them for
disabilities received in the world war,
returning to the activities of private
| life.
Many soldiers find, because of dis
abilities received in the world war,
that they are not able to resume
their former employment, and it has
I been necessary to fit them for some
thing else.
The records show that the govern
ment has done a great deal along
this line, and the work of human re-
habilitation will be carried ON for
some time.
Heads of industries and other con-
Germs and employers generally may
have an important part in this SER
vice by doing what they can in MAX
ing places fer the former soldiers.
The campaign which was recently
conducted throughout the United
States in the interests of men who
served in the world war resulted in
the placing of many thousands.
Industry and business are again
on the upgrade, and it should be pos
sible for places to- be found for for
mer service men in many lines of
activity. These men do not desire
charity, but only an opportunity OF
making good as workers.

"sHAMS OF SOCIETY,""
Strong Message to Husbands VIII.
Don't Give Wives Spending Money!.

You envy, me, yet / stand before
you the unhappiest Of women. You
crave our so-called society," May Coo
grant anything but that. 1t is sham
all shamr'
Thus exclaims the young society
woman, impersonated on the screen
by Barbara Castleton, in the bic eli
max OF "Shams of Society,"" Thomas
B. Waish>s unusual production to be
next thursdays offering at the Com
munty Theatre.
And in this scenes throbbing with
the punch of tensest drama. is con-
tanned message that will give COM
tort TO many young woman who is
unhappy because circumstances do
not permit her to move in that up-
per strata Of modern civilization
which we call society.
The story, in structure of plot. is
unusual. 1t deals with the domestic
problems of a young couple in COM
Portable circumstances who could
have avoided many of their troubles
mad they employed their good sense
at the proper time.
Herbert Porter lavishes money on
his beautiful young wife, but gives
her no spending money. Lack of
funds with which to pay her own
bills lead to difficulties. Her circle
OF women gamble. She loses. Her
debts mount up and she fears to tell
her husband. She borrows from a
woman and her losses increase. She
even stoops to theft.
Then follows a succession of
dramatic episodes that tumble toward
smashing climax-and twist at
the end so novel as to take the audi
ence completely by surprise.
Thomas B. Walsh, who has to his
credit a long list of notable photo
plays, directed "Shams of Society"
as his first independent subject. 1t
was adapted by Kenneth O'Hara, and
Mary Murillo from the novel
'Shams," written by Walter MacNa-
mara. Woven through the plot is the
theme that much of the life we know
as high society is sham-that there
is much unhappiness behind the cur
tain of tinsel and the glitter of the
social swirl. Its big lesson is that
real happiness is achieved only by
being honest with ones self and iv-
ing within ones own means.

Cause of Appendicitis.

When the bowels are constipated
the lower bowels or large intestine
become packed with refuse matter,
that is made up largely of germs.
These germs enter the vermiform ar~
pendix and set up inflammation,
which is commonly known as ap-
pendicitis. Take Chamberlain's Tab
lets when needed and keep your
bowels regular and you have little to
fear from appendicitis.-(Adv.)

Potatos Made Immune to Rot

The Mississippi state plant board
at Starkville, Miss, has received SO
many letters expressing satisfaction
from using vine cutting for produ-
cling seed sweet potatoes, that it is
advising growers all over the state,
who have not already planted vine
cuttings, to do so at once Cuttings
should be made from strong, healthy
vines and planted preferably in land
that has never grown sweet pota-
toes before.
Many sweet potato growers are
indorsing the use Of vine cuttings in
fresh land as one of the best ways
to produce seed potatoes absolutely
free from disease. One of the most
recent letters received by the plant
board is from grower in Choctaw
county who has used vine cuttings
for six years, and as proof of the
value of his practice states that last
winter he was one of the three grow
ers who lost no potatoes from disease
in their local storage house.
Black rot cannot be transferred in
vine cuttings, and by using care to
select cuttings only from healthy
vines, stem rot can be avoided also
Of course all seed potatoes, whether
raised from vine cuttings or not,
should be handculled at digging time,
and all other precautions taken to
prevent disease germs getting to
them.
It is not clear just what method
has been used in Mississippi for pro-
ducing seed sweet potatoes in the
past, but in south Louisiana vine
cuttings have been used with entire
satisfaction and success for many
years.
