SCHOOL NWT.
Rennie Romero entered school this
week. He is in room three and doing
nicely.
This closes the first four months of
school. We have an enrollment of
just about two hundred. Several more
than this time last year.
This is the regular mid-term promo
tion period. Grade cards will be giv
en ,ut F'riday and classes will he re
organized so that the new term till
start off smoothly Monday.
Several new enrollments in the
grades this month.
The nineth grade finish their Gen
eral History this week.
Our schools are in the best shape
that they have been in for the past
year and a half. They are being bet
ter graded than they have heretofore.
Our discipline is more thorough and
our pupils are learning the science of
studying, and while some of ourclass
es are not so far along in their books
as they were eighteen months ago, yet
they have gained a fund of knowledge
during their months of study. It may
Ie of interest to parents to know that
our pupils when going to other places
to school enter their "grades" without
let or hinderance, indicating that our
work is as thorough as that of Lake
Charles and otbar places to which our
pupils have gone.
Our Arbor Day program has been
postponed until the city council have
made arrangements for the securing
of trees.
Q carter holiday Friday to all who
have been neither tardy nor absent
dur;ag the past month.
Ivy Derouen, of Bell City, sister o
Mrs. Austile Benoit,. entered school

Commendation is due the children

are doing in their Culture studies,viz:
music and painting. Less than a
year ago the water color work was
introduced into our schools and it is

The following is one of the essays
written by a 5th grade boy of our
school on the subject "The Pleasures
of Taking A Final:"-Taking a final
e is very good. It is just about like
taking a dose of salts. Now you
know lust about what it is. When
you come to school every dlay, you
dont think about the final. In the
e evening, after school, instead of
t studying your lessons, you play in
the street till bed time. Next morn
in' you come to school, the teacher
says "All that have your lessons hold
up your hands". No hands to be
seen. Well she keeps you in. recess.
You say "That iseasy." But when
the final comes,you say to yourselves,
e "I sure wish I had not played so
much and studied instead." But you
t haveto take the final all the same.
s Now school children, takemy ad
t vice:-Study hard, learn well while
I. you are at it, and perhaps you will
a not have to take the final next time.

J. S. Gerson, our hustling clothing
dealer, says his business has in

had to increase the floor room of his
store by about thirty percent, adding
on -to the rear space eighteen by
twenty-four feet. Jake says he will
have the goods to fill it, and will
* treat his customers right. This in
crease in business has made it neces
sary for Mr. Gerson to have more

in-law, Samuel Cashmere, of Yoak

TIHE BEST PLOW MI.A.DE FOR ENG-INES.
TWO-FURROW WALKING GANG.
In the construction of the Walking Gang' particular attention is given to strength, one of the most nue6en
features in a plow of this type. The beams are madeof extra heavy beaded steel and very strongly braced at
points subject to strain. The wheels are set back well under the plow. A square corner can be made at the
of the field without lifting the plow out of the ground, and the plow will run close to fences. The two-furrow pdll
can easily be converted into a three-furrow by adding a third plow attachment. The wheels have removable u.
proof boxes. A riding attachment can be furnished when ordered.
I also have two styles of the High Lift Canton Gang. See me at once as pric
es will advance. Respectfully Yours,
H. A. DAVIDSON, Welsh, La.
