our )%ular press day, we are getting
this isum' of the Sentinel out a day

will give us more time to enjoy the
holidays without having to work on
Christmas eve.
Other arrivals and social events
will take place bIetween now and the
advanced time the paper goes to preDs.
(owing to the fact that the Sentinel's

This is just a whisper from the
writer (a lady), to all women voters,
to pay their poll tax before the 31st
cf this month, as they will be barred
from voting at voting time, unless
such tax is paid. Although some have
not yet registered, it is neccessary to
pay their poll tax at this time, be
cause the time is limited for such pay
ment and comes due before registra
tion day.

HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT FOR OUT
SIDE MUSIC STUDY.
Upon the recommendation of the
Louisiana Music Teachers Asssocia
tion, the State Board of Education
is granting high school credit for work
done outside of school. This privilege
is enjoyed by children living in other
sections of this country. It carries
with it the assurance that the child's
musical education is in the hands of
a competent teacher; that the musi
cally gifted child will have an oppor
tunity to get a high school education
and the special training that is es
sentiel at that ime, and hat he has a
fair chance to do justice to both. All
students of our high schools, who are
!studying instrumental music, should
arrange their high school work to
conform with that suggestion by-the
State Board of Education.
We will publish a full account of
the Masonic and Eastern Star install
ations in our next issue.

Plenty of light and good air are
essential to good resuits in the kitchen
and to the comfort of those working
there.
Running water and drain for carry

Pantry, dinning room, and store
rooms should be convenient to the
kitchen and so far as possible on the
same flo>r level.
Floor, walls, ceiling, and woodwork
should be made as easy to clean as
possible by oiling, painting, or cover

Unfinished wood floors, molding, and
table tops are poor economy; they
are hard to clean and soon show.

FUR MARKET BAD
At the time of going to press the
situation in the raw-fur market is
worse than it has been for many
years. There is a fur hold-over of
abcut $20.?00,000 which must be'
absorbed before it will pay you to
send in new shipments. The editor of
"Fur News" advises trappers to wait
they start trappirg. He does not ex
pect that 1921 prices will approach
the high levels of last season, and
believes it will be a poor year all
arour.d for the trapper.
Under such conditions it would be
folly to take furs before cold weather'
improves the quality, and it may pay
to trap lightly all season, taking only
high-priced furs. If left alone, the
'fur hearers will increase and make
good trapping next year, when prices
are likely tb be better. It is possible
that high peak of 1920 will not be
reached again for many seasons.
This is the situation at the time
this is written. It will pay you to
investigate this matter carefully be
fore putting valuable time and money
int' a business which looks as though
it would be very unprofitable this
season.-Ex.

the country at the Palace Meat Mar

There was a scare Wednesday
night, when the proprietor of the res
taurant near the Magoun Drug Store
attempted to start a fire in the heat
er at his place. The fire had gotten
low in it, and to revive it he poured
some coal oilin the stove. It did not
ignite at first, but as soon as the oil
generated into gas, it exploded, a
flame coming out of the top of th.'
chimney a considerable heigth, and
making a considerable report. Coal
oil and gasoline are perhaps fine to
start a fire with, but many times
'when they are employed in such a
manneS they start much larger fires
than was intended.
Among the most enjoyable events
of the week was the Christmas tree
given at the High School Thursday
morning for the pupils of the Pri
mary grades, and their friends about
town. Dr. Magoun, in a most gracious
manner, acted Santa Claus. All the
little folks received pretty little gifts
from old Santa. and it proved to be
'a highly delightful affair.
