Farmers of the Southwest are
not unfamiliar with the variable
and uncertain weather some
spring seasons bring US. We
have had seasons when it seemed
almost impossible to get the crops
in at the right time. When a few
days of good planting weather
came along, many farmers found
that their land was not ready and
those days had to be used in plow-
ing. By the time the plowing
was done, more bad weather pre-
vented planting. Only those
farmers who we're fortunate
enough to make ready for spring
work by a j1dicious planning of
work during December, January
and February were able to take
advantage of the few days Of good
weather to get their crops in.
Moral: Plan your work ahead

Many Things 70 Be Thankful For

There may be some among US
who look upon the Presidents
Thanksgiving proclamation with
out enthusiasm and speak OF it in
a manner which would convey the
impression that it was not meant
for them. Some are out of work.
Others have sickness in the fam
lily. There may be citizens who
will sit down to dinner on
Thanksgiving Day which is so
meager in quantity and quality as
to barely satisfy the pangs Of
hunger. But after all, with the
rare exception of the most extreme
cases, and even elimin ating them,
no American citizen-no person
beneath the protecting folds of
Old Glory-would trade places
with any one of the millions in
stricken Eastern Europe or West
ern Asia.
Americans-eyery one of us.
should he thankful for free Gov
ernment; free schools; free speech
and freedom of religion. We
should be thankful because we, as
a Nation. are blessed with an
abundance of the nee .ssities of
life; that we are at peace with the
world and because no great dis
aster has overtaken Us. Indiyid-
ually we should be thank full for
our opportunities. Many of US
have been blessed with good
health. good friends and pleasant
surroundings.
1t is we'll that We, through GUS
tom established by the Pilgrim
Fathers. set aside day each year
to give 20 the Creator of
all good ..ri~+sgs for our many
blessing. There are none without
them. While some may have
their lot cast between hard lines, |
by comparison at least. they will
find some person apparently less
blessed than themselves. Thanks |
giving is strictly an American
Day. Let it he celebrated in a
spirit in keepIng with the prccla-

Community Welfare League

That real civic interest and
pride are being rapidly developed
among many of the women ol
Natchitoches who heretofore have
been more or less Indifferent, BY
the splendid work being done BY
the Community Welfare League,
is clearly evidenced by the attend
ance at the meetings and splendid
results obtained thereby. The
meeting Monday afternoon was
fine, the reports from the different
committees 6uer. and proof of
their intelligent and we'll directed
efforts finest!
2It was decided that strenuous
efforts would be made to get not
only every member but every
woman in Natchitoches to register
and pay her poll tax before the
end of the year, otherwise she
cannot participate in any election
for the next two years, and not
only are several important ones al
ready scheduled to take place, but
others likely to occur, and every
woman owes it to herself, her
family and community to be pre-
pared to her duty, so all are urged
to attend to this very importan,
matter by going to the Court
House where the parish registrar
will be found every day during
the week, of December 11-16, be-
tween 9 A. NJ. and 5 p. NJ, and
every Friday and Saturday
throughout the month of Decem-
Der. Attention OF those members
who have failed to pay their dues
is called to this. fact and they are
asked to be prepared to do SO
when Secretary calls for same.
1t was decided to give a Thanks
giving offering of bed linens to
the Sanitarium, and a committee
was appointed to confer with Act
ing Mayor Watson and ask him
to take up the matter of lavatory
service at I. 6 P. depot upon
which The League has been work
ing with the. Division 'Supt. The
League will carry out as far as
possible the late lamented Mayors
plans for a City Beautiful, who
not only co operated bat was al
ways an insriration to it, and
after . committee was appointed
to draw up resolutions of regret
and sympathy upon his untimely
death, the meeting adjourned sub,

The final tabulation of tho vote
on the amendments to the consti.
tuition at the election held Novem-
bar 7th has only recently been
made and show that they all
carried.
The one Of greatest interest to
the people as . whole is the one
providing that the State Superin-
tendens shall be elected by the
people instead of the State Board
Of Education, az was the case
from the days of the 1879 consti.
tuition until Governor Parker's
convention in 1921. which gave
the State Board the power OF
selection Of this important Official,
and also delegated to the Governor
she selection of three ont Of the
eleven members of the Board.
That the electors believed thas
this centralized too much power,
in q matter that is Of the gravest
interest and importance to them
IS . whole as is this matter of
public education no doubt led
them 70 vote quite strongly in
favor Of this amendment.
The value Of education cannot

Health Unit Notes

! Another death from typhoid
fever has occurred in the section
below Brevellc. This is the third
child to be taken from the same
family. Another new case has
also occurred. This child had re-
ceived its first vaccination on
November 6 but it was too late to
prevent the disease. All of those
who were vaccinated for the first
time November 6 were given their
second dose November 18th and
80 persons came to get their first
dose. These had refused it at the
first time but changed their minds
when another death from the
fever occurred in their midst.
II no more cases occur this
week before the third vaccination

more fever in the community as
the majority of the people there
have taken the vaccine.
All of the children at the Flora
School were tested to see which
were susceptible to diphthcria.
Two were found to be susceptible
and the parents Of these will be
advised to have them given a vac
cine which will prevent diphtheria
for several years and in most
cases for life.
There have been no new cases
of typhoid fever in the section
between Breyelle and Melrose.
The two remaining cases are doing

pie come each Monday to How

Convent to receive their vaccina-
nations. The original 239 have
completed their three treatments
but since over 100 have started
theirs, the visits will be co ntinued
for two more Mondays.
