PREDICTS GREAT CAREER
 FOR LARRY, THE MANAGER

Another home boy, Larry Gilbert, is going to try to be a success as a manager of a baseball club and will do it right here at home. Being a managers of pennant-cbasing team is a tough job in itself Being a managerssof a. pennant-chasing it isn't easy Not with the criti- cism of the grandstand managers ringing in your ears and all the other handicaps that come in the stretch from April to September.
 But Gilbert will be a success as "a manager. We don't put in any ifs, buts or qualify the prediction. It goes. And the reason we're so sure is because Larry's fellow who tries. who Is always doing his best and it's half the battle won. You've heard it said confidence is 30 per cent and maybe it is, but you've got to try, too.
 Gilbert has been trying and do- ing things in baseball ever since he donned the spangles, He's the first and only new orleanian to play into a world series. He's the first minor leaguer to ever refuse big league job to stay at home and play for his fellow townsmen. He's the first and only New Orleanian to lead the Southern league in batting, base stealing, and ev'rythin'. And all be- cause he was always trying.
 Larry can't be other than suc- cess as a manager. Few are better fitted. Those who think he's too "easy going" are due for shock. especially the laggard players. Gill bert will be trying to win and what he sets out to do he usually does. And don't forget he has never been anything short of success in the grand old game.-Fred Digby, in New Orleans Item.

 Der Manufacturers association.
 One of the tasks before the central committee on Lumber standards, which is seeking to standardize sizes and nomenclature of lumber, Is to adopt single significant names for the lumber made from different spe- cies of wood.

Norway pine (plnus resinosa) travels under the name of Norway pine, red pines hard pine and Canadian red pine. Western white pine (pinus monticola) is variously known as western white pine, Idaho white pine, white pine and British Columbia real white pine. Western yellow pine (pinus ponderosa) adds to the confusion by being designated as bull pine by the U. S. forest service and localy as western yellow pine, western Tine, western soft pine, west enrn white pine, California white pine, oregon western pine, Washing ton western pine. Washington white pine, Montana pine, Montana western pine. Arizona soft pine, Arizona white pine, New Mexico white pine. Mexican white pine.

WOMAN WILL TESTIFY AT ROBBERY HEARING
By Associated Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-A subpoena served on Mrs. c. P. Hugo Schoell- kopf of Buffalo robbed of between s150.OoO and s50O,OOo worth of jewels on New Years eve, caused her to defer her sailing for Europe tomor- row on the Majestic.
 The subpoena required her to ap- pear in magistrates court next Mon day to testify in the hearing of Frank Barrett Carman, arrested on suspicion of complicity in the rob bery. which occurred after Mrs. Schoellkopf had left his apartment, the scene of the party, near Fifth avenue.
 Mrs. Schoellkopf, who has assured detectives that she believed Carman. friend and travelling companion of her husband and herself, was inno- cent and blamed three men occupy ing an apartment immediately be- heath his, exclaimed when the sub poena was served:
 What, Me testify against Frank! Never,"
 Mir. Schoellkopf was said to be in Buffalo today but was expected to return to New York on Saturday. he would have to spade up these old patches every year. Finally he solved this troublesome problem by limiting the patches and sowing al- falfa in them. Now instead of an un slightly growth of weeds that must be cut off every year, he has alfalfa which gives him green food for the early matched chicks andsis badge  From Farm Life.
 The child was inspecting the guest, with that frankness that character izes children of four.

To Cost National Government $685..
100000 This Year.
The 1923 road construction season
is expected to add hundreds of miles
to the eountry's system of improved
highways. Figures compiled by the
Bureau Of Good Roads of Depart
ment Of Agriculture at Washington,
from 81 scattered states, show they
will have available $2SS,O00, eco for
this purpose, compared to $a73,0O0,-
900 spent by them last year. On
federal work, which constitutes
something like 0ne-half the total
mileage, there was under construc-
tion March 81, work estimated to
cost $25S,000,000, as compared with
$23S,00O,OO0 on the same date a
year ago.
The designation of federal-aid
highways Is Row completed in S3
states, and is almost complete in
the others. Thirty states now tax

CARNIVAL NOTES
GROSS RECEIPTS AND OTHER
INTERESTING FACTS

At a meeting of the Community
Fire Company, held Tuesday evening
of this week, the treasurer's report
showed the gross receipts of this
years carnival to be $11,923.31,
with few odds and ends yet to
hear from that will boost the grand
total little bit higher
AS all bills were not in hand at the
time,Nit was impossible to give the
net receipts, but it is expected fully
$500 will be cleared. This will
enable the Fire Company to pay the
remaining $4,000 due on the engine,
purchased at a cost of $10,50O, a year
in advance of the time stipulated in
the contract, and also permit a pay
ment of $1,000 on the public hall
building.
The Fire Company, and indeed the
entire community, is gratif1ed at the
outcome, and the wonderful support
given the carnival shows it was truly
a community affair.
During the carnival 482 gallons of
ice cream were disposed of, 1461
pounds of candy, 3S1 lbs. sausage,
for hot dogs; 251 baskets of peaches,
1913 baskets of canteloupes, 425
cakes. Six crates of lemons and
800 pounds of sugar were required
to make the lemonade opposed of.
In addition to the above hundreds of
bottles : of soft drinks were sold,
novelties, fancy articles, home made
candy, blankets, dolls. etc,
Some idea of the liberality of this
community may be had from the
fact that every cake was donated
some giving money in place of baking
a cake, also all the lemons and sugar
home made candy and fancy articles.
Several generous donations of cash
from those who could not attend
and wanted to help. We're also
received,
