The banana trees in Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Unter's attractive
and we'll kept yard have stlmu-
lated much interest the past week
because of the number Of punches
of bananas that have ripened on
them, to the astonishment Of our
public in general who could not
belieye that either our climate or
soil were adapted to their cultlva-
ton.
There is no end to the possibil
tiles here from an 'agriculturaP'
standpoint, this last instance PROV
ing conclusively that banana
raising as local industry would
be successful, as the punches on
these four-year-old trees were full
of delicious fruit, regulation size
and shape, differing a bit in flavor
from those on the market for the
reason that the fruit is picked
green before imported from the
tropical countries from which
they are shipped, whereas Mr..

Among the most popular sub
jects selected by a large number
of the students during the las,
summer term at Normal was radio,
not only because of the rapidly
growing interest in this great in
vention, but because of the popu.
larity of the wide awake instruc.
tor, Mr.. +. e. Fournet, who
keeps in touch with the latest dis.
coveries and Developments in the
scientific world. Some months
ago he installed a small outfit that
he made himself, experimenting
along different lines until he per-
fected it .enough to instruct by,
but recently large equipment
with all the latest and best devices
was installed, under his supervis-
ion, in the auditorium where he
expects later to establish broad
casting station.
Mr.. Fournet is a perfect wizard
when it comes to anything WIRE
less or electrical, to say nothing
of what he is along other lines.
and the pleasure he has given a
great many with concerts by great
artists for broadcasting purposes
stimulated Mr.. Edwin McClung,
who is very musical, to invest in

A Red Letter Day

The plans for the Tick Eradica-
ton meeting have about been
arranged and everything is getting
in shape for the biggest Get
together on next Tuesday, Sep
tember. 26th, that this section OF
Louisiana has ever seen.
Responses to the invitations
sent to the Police Juries of the
eight parishes, delegates from
each ward, presidents of forty-one
banks, besides many interested in
the cattle industry, have been re-
ceived and every indication points
to an attendance of between 500
and 700 of these representatives
besides the delegation of so busi-
ness men from Alexandria who
were especially invited to postpone
their coming until that date, so
they would have the opportunity
of meeting the representative citl-
zens of the whole parish as well
as our other guests. The special
speakers for the day will be DR..
Paxton of the U. S. Bureau AMI
NAL Industry of Indiana, Hon.
w. K. McIlroy of Kentucky,
DIR. Hortman of Texarkana, Hsr-
ry D. Wilson and DR.. Flowers of
Baton Rouge, State officials, S. B.
Hicks, A. Queries and Ben John
son, prominent bankers of Shreve-
port, besides several other we'll
known men who are interested in
this matter of tick eradication
which means SO much not only to
this section but our whole country.
1t has been a matter of great
qualification to our citizenship as
a whole, the great interest
taken in this meeting by the Hon.
S. B. Hicks, the leading banker
of Shreveport, who asked for a
list of those to whom invitations
to attend in al! eight parishes had
been sent, SO that he might send a
personal letter and impress upon
them the grave importance of the
meeting and urge co operation.
The following response is a fair
sample Of the responses received
and should stimulate our people
to do all in their power to make
this meeting next Tuesday the
success it should and must be be-
cause Of what it will ID IAN to them:
Boyce, La, Sept. II, 1922.

BY THE WAY

The swing of the pendulum at
this season automatically opens
the door of the most important
institution in the country, THE
SCHOOL HOUSE, the vast scope
of whose importance the majority
have never given the thought to
which it is truly entitled.
DO you realize that the school
has your boy and girl during the
most impressionable years of their
llves9 What will it make of
them; what will it give back to
you at the end of that timea Is
the school system efficient; does
it build character as we'll as fact9
Are the teachers competent, broad
minded. earnest, sincere2 Were
they selected with full realiza-
tion of the Importance of this fact,
and are they rewarded according
ly9 Do you as a parent realize
the part you have to playa So
few parents seem to know or ap-
preciate this; just send their little
unknown quantities" to school,
then let the matter drop, and are
rather surprised and provoked
when the finished product is re-
turned and doesn't suit them. A
child might learn to bound coun-
tries, conjugate verbs, find the
unknown quantity, ETC., and still
be poorly equipped for life. What
Of the finer points of character, a
sane and understanding patriotism,
consideration for others, ETC..
Wouldn't it be Stacking to leave
all this to the teachers; haven't
parents their duty to perform, in
helping to mould the character of
their children, with a sense and
understanding of their purpose in
the world, their responsibilities as
the future citizenship
The average American boy and
girl of today are ambitious and
never in the history of the coun-
try was the spirit Of Young Amer
ica more bert upon acquiring
education. The youth of the
country understands toat to mcye
forward in this world one must be
and the chief require
nent is education. And there is
more than rejoicing over the will
ngness of the people to build new
schools and give their children
he best possible facilities; there
s true comfort and hope in this
'ction of the taxpayers because as
ong as the schools of America
continue their work unimpeded
here need be no fear for the
afety of American institutions,
md now if the parents realize that t
heir duty goes just little further :

esponsibility that comes with tins t

Snow Fall Was
Record Breaker

Some very interesting statistics
concerning the idiosyncrasies of
the weather are to be obtained at
the Fairbanks Museum where a
complete account Of the changes of
the weather every day since 1894
have been kept. For instance, the
records show that the snow fall Ct
yesterday was the most severe on
record for so early in the month,
since the beginning Of the twenty
year period. 1t showed a water con
tent of four one hundredths of an
inch. There nave been other years
when more snow mas fallen later in
the month and several years when
there has been a trace of snow at
an even earlier date. On Oct. 20,
1907 that was 1 and one fourth IN
ches and on Oct. q 1910, 2 inches
OF snow fall.
there has been no unusual re-
cord so far for low temperature.
The mean average for the month
of Oct. is AZ degrees. The first day
OF this month ushered in temper
allure of 81, while the low mark so
far has been pa. The low mark for
yesterday was reached at about /
+. M, with temperature of 81.

Gape Their Last Pennies

In little school down near the Rio
Grande River in the great State OF
Texas, all of the pupils are Mexlcans.
One day they heard their teacher tell
of the work of the schoolgirls and
boys of the country through an or
ganization, the Junior American Red
Cross. They Immediately asked that
their school be enrolled under the
Junior banner, 81 serve" and that
they receive the Red Cross magazine,

preliminary steps toward such enrol
ment were under way and the child
rem began making their contributions
to their Junior Service Fund. One lit
tie boy gave his only fifty cents; an
other contributed six cents, money he
made picking a turkey. another gave
a penny, his last one, in the name OF
his sister; while another boy sold his
beloved marbles for small sum SO
that he might have a part in the work.
