JAZZ HAS KICK LIKE
HOOTCH SAYS CHICAGO
DANCE HALL OPERATOR

Music is as Intoxicating as liquor.
Five doses Of jazz music would have
the same effect on the dancing crowd
of young people as five drinks of
whisky.
These statements were made to the
International Purity conference in
session at Chicago last week by J.
Louis Guyon, proprietor of Chicago's
largest public dance hall.
eve permit our sons and daugh-
tiers to be fed on abominable jazz
music, which appeals to their baser
impulses, and trot the fox trot, one
step toddle, shimmy and other vicious
Dances" said Guyon. This form of
dancing is a menace to the morals of
our young people. It is menace to
the future Of our nation.
"There is nothing wrong with the
morals of the boy or girl of today,
the difficulty lies in the poison we
feed them and the examples we set
for Them"

Farmers Hold Stock
Winter Favorable

Speaking generally of the livestock
situation in North Dakota A. j. Sur
raft, director of the federal bureau
Of crop estimates, said that there was
little change during the past year
from 1920. With the exception of
the extreme southwest counties, he
claimed that there was plenty Of feed.
This, coupled with the fact that prices
this winter have been unsatisfactory,
has led the farmers to hold their
stock, which, he said, seemed good
judgment. He also stated that good
many farmers were borrowing money
on their stock.
The mild winter has been very fav-
orable to livestock. Mr.. Surratt said
that the ranges were still open in the
west, which was unusual. Losses
have been slight from any cause and
the general health has been good.

Baptie And MCGOWAN
To Race In st. Paul

Everett MCGOWAN of St. Paul and
Norval Baptie Of North Dakota, two
of the fastest speed skaters in the
world, expect to meet at St. Paul in
series Of races at the Hippodrome
rink about the middle of January.
Baptie has cancelled his contract at
the Morrison Hotel in Chicago, where
he has been engaged in exhibition
skating, and is training for races at
one of the Chicago parks.
Baptie's alibi for his failure to de-
feat the St. Paul flash last winter is
that he left his vaudeville work for
the race course without any prelimin-
airy training. He says he came to St.
Paul as soon as his engagement was
finished and took on MCGOWAN imme-
diately. Baptie insists he never was
in good shape until he met Everett
at Winnipeg, where No1val won.
cat my best I can beat him and
I'll be at my best when come to
St. Paul this year," he writes.

M'CUN|bER GETS
SENATE POST
DEATH OF pENRosE PUTS N. D..
SENATOR IN FINANCE CON-
MITTEE CHAIR.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The death Of
Senator Boise Penrcse- brings to the
Northwest the chairmanship of the
most important committee Of the
Scnatc-the finance committee, which
has charge of all revenue legislation
Senator Porter j. McCumber of
North Dakota is ranking Republican
member and under the seniority rule
Of the Senate will advance to the
Craftsmanship.
During the long illness Of Senator
Penrose Senator McCumber served as
acting chairman. AS matter of
fact, except for the consideration of
the tax revision bill in the Senate and
on the floor, the North Dakotan has
directed most of the committees work
for two years. Senator Pcnrose had
been at the Capitol nearly every day
since his return year ago but the
state Of his health did not permit
the hard work required of the chair
man of such an important committee.
Senator Watson Of Indiana, men,
Der of the finance committee, has
been sort Of link between the
White House and the finance commit
tee. He relieved Senator Fenrose
of some of the many responsibilities
devolving on a man so high in the
party councils. There is no thought,
however, of advancing Senator Wat
son to the craftsmanship over Senator
McCumber. In fact, ahead of Watson
on the committee are Smoot, LaFol-
lette and two or three others. While
well up among the party chieftains,
the Indiana Senator is near the bot
tom of the list on the finance COM
mittee.
The administration has shown dis
position to help Senator McCumber at
every turn. The fact he has very
hard fight ahead of him for renomina-
ton in North Dakota would prompt
the administration, if necessary, to
use its influence in his behalf should
there be any move to select another
Senator chairman.

VIZ <ssSa M when De Soto
@fSsR::iEsSss:SM with his par

adventures probably reached
the present site Of Memphis on
the Mississippi. The French
under La Sale built 81 fort here
about 1852. The English also
laid claim to this territory, in.
Guiding it in the grant to North
Carolina. 1t was not until 1910
that the first permanent settle
ment was made by james Rob"
ertson and this was soon fol-
lowed by many other settlers
from North Carolina. They
formed what they called the
Washington district, but this
was short lived as it was
promptly annexed to North
Carolina. In 1884 the inhabi-
tants, indignant over North Car
olina's attitude toward them,
declared their independence and =
formed the State Of Franklin
or FARMLAND. AS this seces-
sion was not countenanced by
North Carolina, for a number
of years state of confusion
existed with two sets of officers
trying to govern. Meanwhile
the settlement suffered severely
from hostile Indians and from
the Spanish, who still held LOU
isiana, and controlled the Mis-
sissippi river. In, 1900 North
Carolina finally coded this ter
ritory to the United States. BY
1906 the population had in
creased to over 10000, so Ten
nessee was admitted as the Six
teenth state of the Union.
At the outbreak of the Civil
war, Tennessee joined the Con-
federacy. In 1866, when the
state was readmitted to the I'm
ion, there was much disorder
during the reconstruction period.
This led to the formation Of the
Ku Klux Khan, the influence of
which quickly spread through
out the Southern states. This
secret organization took into
its own hands lie suppress
sion of crime and the admin
istration Of Justice.
Tennessee contains 42,O22
square miles, and is sometimes
called the Volunteer state. 1t

The Kind Of Corn to Grow.

We learned one day this week from
Mr.. e. S. Burt, while calling at the
Banner Office, that ten ears of picked
corn (Stewart's Yellow Dent) won for
Mr.. F. f. Vickers, of the Bellevue com-
munity, last season premiums aggre-
eating $50 This corn was exhibited
at the Bossier Parish Fair, at the State
Fair, then at the national exhibit held
in Chicago, and finally at the State
Corn Show, held in Baton Rouge. The
ten ears repeatedly won prizes-just
how many we don't knoW-and when
returned to Mr.. Vickers was used to
plant patch of corn to produce more
good seed corn. That's good record
for ten ears of corn.
Mr. Burt also stated that Mr.. Wick
ers will this season exhibit at the
State Fair 1000 ears of corn, to. be
entered in the 1O-bushel contest. And
added. too, that 1000 ears of the kind
of corn Mr.. Vickers grows would easily
measure IA bushels. 1t would seem
that our Ward Six friend has develop
ed into good farmer.

An Army of CaterpiIlars.

Bossier and neighboring parishes are
being visited this fall by an unusual
scourge Of new variety of cater pill
lars, which infest particularly such
trees as the walnut, hickory, pecan and
persimmon. In many cases the trees
are entirely enveloped with the webs
and the foliage completely destroyed.
Whether or not this will result in any
permanent injuries to the trees remains
to be seen, but it is hoped not. These
are said to be an entirely different
variety Of caterpillar from those which
infested the cotton plants earlier in the
season. Travellers report that these
webs are noticeable all through South
ern Arkansas, and usually on the same
species Of trees
