NEW INSTITUTE OPENED

The Louisiana Home for the Feeble

concern last week when 40 inmates
from the two state hospitals for the in
sane were transferred there. Accord
ing to the state insane hospital author
tiles, thousand or more of their charg-
es are not insane but are feeble mind
ed and should be sent to the new in
stitution. The policy adopted will
leave plenty of room in the regular
hospitals for those who are really in
sane.
Sufficient buildings to accommodate
the crowd were already on the site and
have been remodeled and made COM

BOOSTS LOUISIANA

volumes of truth. We little realize
how Nature has blessed our fair State,

withing our borders; with the magnif-
icent opportunities that are offered,

MANY PAY POLL TAXES

The response to the Poll Tax was
very creditable indeed, almost every
one came forward and paid. This
speaks well for the people of Vernon
Parish and Leesville, because all the
monies collected go directly to our pub
lie schools.
Unlike many States. the Poll Tax
here is a voluntary tax, and it may be
Of interest to some to know that there
are some States that send man to
jail for non-payment of the Poll Tax.

tax IS $500; but who in the world

ORDERS COMBUSTIBLES
FROM RIGHT OF-WAYS

Railroad companies operating in
Louisiana must clear their right-of-
ways of all combustible material by
April, according to a warning issued
by state forestry department. Rail.
roads failing to do this will violate a
1920 state act.
Notice was also served on lumber
men, turpentine operators, and all 9TH
ers exploiting forest resources, that the
law requires an average of one tree
an acre that must be left standing and
unbled, so that it may serve as seed
for natural reforestation. This law
does not apply to lands which the own
ers desire to clear for cultivation.

TEXAS TO BUILD ROADS

Texas has made plans to carry on
Its highway work through the winter
months SO as to help the unemployed.
Rollin Winrew, state highway commits
sloner, expects to give employment to
thousands of Texans that are out of
work during the winter and spring by
completing several million dollare of
real work.
If Congress appropriates sufficient
federal aid, it is expected that a far
larger program than is now contem-
plated will be carried forward.

Biography that has been told of in the
weekly magazines of the Sunday pa
pers and deemed available only for the
wealthy, is now open for the use of
the public by the Colony photograph
er, and when the photographs in ma
tural colors were on exhibit at the
County Fair, it did not excite as much
interest as Jack Johnson's razor-back
sow. The first Spalding's Deep Tillage
Machine in this part of Louisiana, if
not in the whole State. the Co-opera-

whole question of how to produce a

the Colony has taken up. To demon
strate scientific composing on scale
no small farmer could do, they have
taken up and are developing. Not on

quintillions. This is a discovery only
made by science officially five years
age, but the member in charge of the
work has been experimenting upon it
for over 40 years, and 81 years ago
perfected his discovery. The U. S.
Dept. of Agriculture will in year or
two no doubt investigate the matter,
when results begin to show its impor-
lance. And this important discovery
in agriculture is being introduced into
Vernon Parish by the Llano Colony.
And so | might go on and enumer-

of having the Colony here, which peo-
pie are still shy of. But, with all this
practical demonstration, will the Yer

uniting save themselves from the clutch

operative American hog-p.ofiteers and
grab-it-alls. The statistics show, and
the poverty-stricken state of the Amer
lean farmer proves, they are on a to-

will not lift hand or voice to prevent |
what the grab-it-all have planned to
be. Cooperation is a word they do |
not understand the real meaning of |
No conception of cooperation exists /

The question is are they willing to
learn? Missourians ask: 'You show

Louisiana farmers willing to be shown

HELPING EMPLOYMENT

GOVERNMENT LIFTS BAN
ON SHOES THROUGH MAILS

The government removed the postal
ban on shoes. This means that shoes
can be sent through the mails, if they
are wrapped carefully in strong, heavy
paper and tied securely with heavy
cord, placel about both ends and cen
ter of box, which must be of durable
material. For years there has been a
ban on sending shoes in card boxes
through the mail, and we are in SYM
pathy with that order, because there
are shoes and shoes, some new ones
and some old ones, and the latter al
ways loaded with the personality of
the owner-but thereby hangs tale.
