BUILDING PLANS ARE
PRINTED IN THE DEMOCRAT

In this issue of the Democrat appears
another of the house plans which will
be regular feature of the paper for
a series of splendid plans originated
by Chicago architect.
Any of these plans are sufficient to
enable any welI-informed carpenter to
proceed with its construction; but,
should any questions be necessary, the
architect will answer them by the SIM
pie method of sending him a seIf-ad-
dressed envelop for reply.
This is service which many Yer
non people should avail themselves of,
especially if they contemplate build
ing soon.

THE BALL GAME

The basket bal game at the park
last Saturday vas very exciting, each
game being filled with exciting events
that made the competing teams str1.ia
ry nerve for success.
The Fal boys came in for a drub-
bing that they will not forget for some
time, and they will think twice in the
future before they tackle the Lees
vile bunch again. The score was:
Leesville, Sc; FaI, 2.
Simpson and Hornbeck came on
next with some swift work at first,
and for time it looked like Simpson
was going to repeat the dose that Lees
vile gave to Fal; but plucky Horn
beck came up bit by bit until the score
10 was reached. Then the Simpson
crowd got busy and refused to let them
score another point. The score was
Simpson, 3o; Hornbeck, 10.
The girls then came up for their
games. and they sure showed some spir-
it. Leesville girls versus Fullerton
girls was the first real treat of the day.
There were some exciting moments in
this game and it was we'll worth the
watching. Every movement was made
with a rapidity that was at times won
derful. There were never two teams
that were more evenly matched, and,
althouhg Leesville went away with the
honors, they were not to be compared
with the honors that the Leesville boys
gained. No, our gNls must settle that
In the future with the same team; and
next time be sure that you shall have
a team that will be worthy of your ev-
cry effort. Score 10 to l6, forfeited
to Leesville after wordy battle.
The games closed with the Pitkin
girls and the Belleview girls. which
game ended with Pitkin as the winner.
Score. Pitkin. 81. Bellevue, q.

WEST LA. BANK NOW
In RECEIVERS HANDS

The demise of the West Louisiana
bank is now an assur lact. 1t has
gone into the BE- ,aof a receiver, Mr..
John R. N..Nlns of Shreveport in
charge. The defunct bank is now un-
der process of liquidation. This was
because Mr.. Ward. who tried in every
way to save the bank, failed to rally
the depositers 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
shave opened the doors and every de-
positor would have received dollar for
dollar.
We are informed that there are
$l50,000 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-
motest idea. Yet Mr.. Watkins seems
very hopeful in the matter and thinks
that after 90 days there will be the
fitg payment made. Each depositoF
should be sure to leave his name and
address with the officials, so that they
can be reached when the time comes.

/, would be an easy matter to set
'.r the question as to whether Amer
can ships should sell liquor on board
beyond the three mile limit. Every
vessel flying the flag Of the United
States should be prohibited both
within and without the three mile
limit. A vessel that flies the flag
should live up to the traditions of the
country whose flag it flies. Ships that
sail the seas carrying our flag should
not bo allowed to run open barrooms
Ships that carry our flag look to the
government to extend its protection
no matter where it goes. SO long as
such ships expect protection, no mat
ter what the cost, they should live up
to our customs at home. Congress
should enact law forbidding the
sale of whiskey while carrying the
flag. That would settle the matter.

Bubonic Plague
Breaks Out in April

Annoy, China July 6.-The bubonic
plague which usually breaks out in
South Fukien during June made its
appearance this year in April. II
has already claimed victims by the
thousands, especially in the interior
districts where public health receives
little or no attention. There the peo-
pie are ignorant and know no pre-
cautions or remedies save supersti-
tious rites and customs.
In Annoy the foreign health officers,
schools, local Young Mems Christian
Association and Boy Scouts are do
ing everything in their power to pre-
vent the spread of this malady. In
structive lantern lectures are given in
public places by the Young Mems
Christian Association, and the Boy
Scouts make excursions to villages in
the district distributing pamphlets on
the plague, it's cause and prevention.

Most of us die twenty years earlier
than the natural time of our de-
parture because we stuff our stomachs
with all sorts of foods at all hours.
If we do not find an early grave we
drop into middle life manned and pos
sesscd Of many aches and pains. The
quantity Of food, the rich pastures,
the commanding in meats, the mix
ing Of foods that are incompatiDlc
and the habit Of gulping down what
ever goes into the stomach are amonr
the prime causes for the woes that
Cvcrtake us. 1t is not our work but
our eating that is destroying us.
manning us, poisoning us by the thou
sands. Commanding. gluttony, haste
and lack of common sense in eating Is
the one great sin of the people. We
would expect poor combustion in a
boiler if the fues were choked with
carbon, yet we expect the human body
to go right on functiOning properly
even though every fue in it be choke
with undigested food and poisoned by
the process. One of our great trou-
bles lies in the fact that we insist or
mixing such amazing, antagonistie
elements. Maybe, some day we will
grow wiser. But wisdom is now a.
great way from being ruler in the
domain Of appetite, it seems to us.

the lowering of the moral standar

vision should be made by the state to
treat such cases. 1t is as much the
duty of the state to trent and care
