A wholesome school spirit prevails throughout the student body and all I seem to be striving to excel. I Drop around occasionally and hear A a class recite. This will get you in I touch with the work and you will find t out what the boy and girl are really a doing. c The boys have ordered a new basket ball. We have some good material I and we hope to develop a team which t will be a credit to the school. I Heretofore spelling in the high school P was given during a part of the period a devoted to English. This year a special c 15-minute period will be given to spell- o ing each day in order that this im portant branch may be more strongly Ii emphasized. ii One of our tenth-grade boys-Andrew e Rettig-has given up his studies in order to take a position in the new d bank. Andrew was making a good be- P ginning in school this year and we P regret that he will not complete his U course. However, since he has decided to enter the business world so early, we can only hope, and we believe, that he will make good. ii When your child brings his report ji card home at the end of the month, do t] not give it a hasty glance and toss it4 e aside. Look over it carefully and tl notice especially whether any grades tl appear in red ink. A grade written in o red means that the pupil is falling b below the passing mark.

The aviator who was giving ex hibitions experienced some difficulty in landing his machine and was headed for the crowd, which became almost panic-stricken at the thought of im pending disaster. In the rush to get ( away from danger, the crowd knocked a little girl down. Mr. Daniel picked her up and carried her away just an c instant before the wrecked machine( settled where she had lain. The Louisiana State Fair desires to a make the following announcement: 4 Ruth Law, who was booked for the Fair, will not appear and in her place De Loyd Thompson, the famous "loop-the- I loop" aviator, will appear.

The Baton Rouge Free Fair opened on Wednesday and will continue through Sunday. This year's exhibition shows a marked improvement over that of last year and is one that does credit to the capital city. The live stock, poultry and agricultural exhibits are especially creditable. The opening of the fair was marked by a street parade. This parade was the nicest and longest ever held in Baton Rouge. Many of the lodges took part, and there were a large number )f decorated autos in line. The L.S.U. cadet battalion and band, and three ,ther bands, participated in the parade. The carnival company that is supply ing the amusement features of the fair is said to be the cleanest one that has ever visited this section: The Baton Rouge Fair, catering as it toes to agricultural resources, will prove of exceptional interest to the people of this parish, and we strongly irge all who can do so to attend. THE NATCHEZ TRACE. At the meeting in Natchez, Tuesday, in regard to boosting the Natchez Trace or the proposed military road, one of :he speakers, Judge McMartin, review .d the exploits of General Jackson in he Indian wars, the war of 1812 and he battle of New Orleans. He pointed )ut how "Old Hickory" had chosen the vatchez Trace as the most feasible mnd logical way over which to conduct tis troops both from Nashville to New )rleans and return. He spoke of the vatchez Indians and their tragic his ory, of how they had used the trace or tribal intercourse long before the ountry had been settled by the white nen. The many other speakers con ,urred in the opinion that any other oute but the Natchez Trace, would be m anomoly as a memorial to Jackson. Ihe great general went over this moute lot once but many times. C. H. Blewtee called attention to the 'act that little it anything had been lone to enlist the co-operation of the territory south of Natchez to New grleans in the ght for the Trace. This a important, but the people along the "race south of Natchez should not wait to be asked, but should push orward( and work with the best until Jov. 10, when the route will be decided ipon P' t.shville. It ans much to the Felicianas, as was pointed out last week. Why don't )ur oficitals do something to aid the effort berkn made in Mississippi? As the Natchez Democrat well says: "Natchez and her sister cities along he Natchez Trace route have gotten a late start but with right and justice on their side they should be able to )vercome this handicap. If the high way is to be memorial to General Jackson, if it is to go over the route most appropriate, then teh Natchez a Trace will be sure to be selected. If the trace is to be built for a military " purpose then the Natchez Trace route will be selected because it is the most a easible route from this point of view."

The customers of banks are divided into two classes: those to whom the bank owes money, or depositors, and those who owe the bank, or borrowers. It can be readily seen that depositors are the first essential to a banking business, for which reason, if for no other, their interests should be safely guarded. The officers and directors of this bank assure the people of West Feliciana that they appreciate this fact and that they will use every effort to so conduct the bank as to protect the depositors. In order to do this it is necessary that great care be taken in making loans. They will endeavor to use such care and to keep themselves in position at all times to meet the demands of the depositors. We invite you to do your banking with a home bank. Be a West Felicianian!
