Ant Campaign Funds
Still INCOMPLETE.

About three hundred and
ifty dollars have been col
ected for the ant campaign
at this writing, but eight or
nine of the committees have
not turned in a report of
their collections. Unless some
very liberal contributions are
made the funds will not reach
the seven hundred dollars re-
quired.
"We will not give up on
that account, though, states
Mrs. c. M. Horton, director
of the campaign, "but will
lind some other means of
getting the rest of the seven
hundred dollars. We cam
not afford to fail and lose
this opportunity to be rid of
ants"
If you have not yet con-
trlbuted to this fund, it is
not too late to do so now. |

GRAND JURY REPORT.

Franklin, La, Sept. 11th, 1922.
To the Honorable Twenty-Third Ju-
dlcial District Court of the State
OF Louisiana, in and for the Par
ish Of St. Mary, Honorable Percy
Saint, Judge presiding:
MAY 1T PLEASE YOUR HONOR.
We, the Grand Jury duly empan-
eiled and sworn, beg leave to make
the following report
We find the affairs of the Parish
well conducted by the various Off
Gals and their records correct as far
as we can ascertain.
We have visited the Franklin
school and find the buildings and
grounds well kept, and the rooms.
not at present overcrowded, but in
dlcatlons are that in the near future
more room will be required both in
the Franklin and Morgan City
schools.
The Jail was found to be well kept
clean and ventilated.
The books of the Treasurer's and
Sheriff's Office, as well as School
superintendent were examined and
as far as could be ascertained. found
correct and neatly kept. The balance
in banks as reported by their books
were found to correspond.
To the Sheriff of the Parish, we
would recommend the strict enforce
of the speed limit laws and the laws
requiring DINNERS on automobile
lights. This has been previously rec
commended, but it has come to our
knowledge that very few DINNERS
are being used on the Parish roads.
We commend the activities of the
Sheriff's Office in the strict enforce
ment of the prohibition laws in the
Parish and recommend a continu
ance.
This concludes our labors. We
respectfully ask your Honor for leave
to adjourn subject to your Honor's
call.
Respectfully yours,
JOS. L. FISHER,
Foreman of the Grand Jury.

FIND A BETTER WAY.

The settlement Of the great co;
strike assures us that the peopl
will not freeze this winter. For S
much we are thankful. But it doe
not contain any assurance that tn
same conditions will not prevail
year hence, with all of their at
tendant ills and inconvenience t,
the nation.
A better way of settling labo
difficulties should be found, and tha
agency should be the congress AM
the federal government.
The laborer is forced to pay tn,
same high prices for everything h.
uses as are paid by other people
He therefore is entitled to wag'
that will enable him to live in rea
sonable comfort, educate his child
rem, and lay by sufficiency for the
time when his days of usefulness
will be over.
The employer is entitled to the
same consideration, as he is requir-
ed to live under the same high
priced conditions. He should be as
sured a fair profit on his invest
ment.
The great army of consumers,
who outnumber these elements many
times over, are also entitled to con-
sideration-but seldom receive it
They are the goats in every strike
that occurs, the victims who in the
end pay the penalty without hope Of
redress.
There should be no more strikes,
hs,f thavo Chn,,1l ha y>aafhoI of
assuring labor square deal at the
hands of the employing corporations,
for without some such protection the
laboring man would be crushed and
ground to atoms.
Arbitration between labor and
capital is hopeless. That has been
proven in the past. Neither side
seems willing to rccede from its de-
mands, or to accept a compromise,
knowing that any such arrangement
simply means short period Of re-
newed activity and then a return to
the merry war.
Congress could authorize and the
president could appoint commissions
in the several lines of industry
whose duty it would be to settle all
such controversies with justice to
both sides, and at the same time
regulate the prices of the commodi-
ties in order to protect the consum-
ing public from profiteering.
The brain of one man-Judge
Landis-has revolutionized baseball,
because that brain is fair and just
to all, and from its edicts there is
no appeal. And the baseball world
has never been so free from trouble
as it is today.
What Judge Lands can do to
baseball other men of ability and
fairness can do in the coal, railroad,
building and other industries.
The only things required are the
authority and the men.

WHAT DO YOU THINK,

When you put your thinking cap
on after the evening meal, what is
the trend of your thought?
High prices of everything you use.
Business stagnation.
Political corruption.
Grating prohibition agents.
Booze scandals.
Divorce in high life.
Murders and robberies.
These are few of the multitude
nous thoughts that fit through the
average mind, with their long trail
Of dissatisfaction and disgust.
Try change Of thought for a
few Notwithstanding along these
lines:
Is the home life what it should
be-?
Is the proper amount of care and
supervision being exercised over the
growing children?
Are the best efforts being put
forth for the improvement of condi-
tions in the home community?
Does the proper spirit of amity
and unity prevail among the bust
ness interests of our town?
Are you a booster of the home
town, or are you a critic?
Thoughts often come unbidden, but
it is not difficult to divert them to
certain lines II one so desires.
Try it for the welfare of those
about you.
1t may result in greater peace of

In Scotland there is told a story OF
one Sandy Mcintosh, who started to
build a small clubhouse of brick. After
the usual plan of bricklayers he work
ed from the inside, and, as he had the
material close beside him, the walls
were rising fast when noon arrived,
and with it his son, John, who brought
his fathers dinner.
With honest pride in his eye, Sandy
looked. at John over the wall on which
he was engaged, and asked:
How do you think | am gettin' on?'
"Fine, father; but how dae We get
DOT? You've forgot the door,"
One glance around him showed San
dy that his son vas right; but, looking
at him kindly, he said:
ooh, but we've got a grand held on
John! Yell be an architect yet,

, the heat and that the below-average for
both of them was due to this cause. 1t
is expected that lower temperatures will
find both birds back to normal lay.
Third bird was not so seriously inter-
fered with by the heat, and her lay OF
six eggs lessons the distance between
her competitor and herself.
Very few perfect scores could be eX-
pected in such extreme weather-while
some ten or twelve birds made perfect
scores, this number is smaller than
usual in more suitable or even weather.
Bird in pen 40 was one of those
making perfect scores-this bird now
totals p eggs in p consecutive days.
Her run indicates high health standard
in addition to her power to convert feed
into eggs.
At the present moment there is every
promise that a splendid list of 2O0-egg
layers will result from the present COM
petition. For the remaining thirteen
weeks of the competition year it is
possible for all of the birds above 140
eggs to go over the 200 figure with an
average each per week of five eggs. A
great many in the list which score
above 14O eggs will lay a higher aver
age than five, and a few birds below
200 now will go up to, if not over, the
4O mark.
Figuring a straight average Of six
eggs per week for the remainder of this
competition year, high bird will score
315 eggs; an average of 515 eggs will
give her final total of 3OS eggs. Either
of these totals will establish a worlds
record for White Wyandottes.
In the next competition several varie-
ties will he represented that have not

there is no known reason why any

any so called heavy-laying breed or

Notwithstanding the fact that quite
