should be a banking season, but
surely, more than all others—
Harvest Time is Banking Time.
It is the season for storing up
the fruits of the year’s labors
in a substantial bank account to
meet the emergencies that are
bound to arise in all lines of en-
deavor.
Make this harvest season a real
banking season by putting your
harvest money in the bank.

Just beyond the river.
He is not, for Jesus took him
To His home so fair,
Where he will never know a sorrow
Nor have an earthly care.

FIGHTING A FIRE.
Late one evening in the spring, a
pasture with six hundred head of cat-
tle and horses in it, caught on fire.
So, everyone grabbed sacks and wet
them to beat out the fire. The fire
spread quickly and the stock chased
madly about. A colt got caught be-
tween a fence and a wall of fire and
was dashing excitedly back and forth.
A brave little negro boy ran straight
through the blaze and drove the colt
out.
Three cows were burned to death
but the fire was finally put out.

Citrus Grove has organized a Com-
munity Church. It will operate with
a local government consisting of trus-
tees, elders and deacons. The trus-
tees are Johnson, Crable and Myres;
elders. Dick Corporan and Crable;
deacons, Percy Corporan and A. F.
Johnson. Fourteen members had
signed the charter members’ list at
last count.
This church is to operate for the
religious inspiration of the commun-
ity surrounding Citrus Grove. It will
receive members from any church ex-
pecting members to retain their chos-
en creeds. Three questions are asked
all members: (1) Do you accept Je-
sus Christ as your saviour? (2) will
you do your best to live as you think
Jesus would have you live in the
light of the Bible and the guidance of
the Holy Spirit? (3) will you support
this organization to the best of your
ability in every way?
Miss Irene Bachelder is the secre-
tary and Mrs. Luellen Corporan, treas-
urer, of the new organization. Serv-
ices are held for the Sunday School
every Sunday afternoon. Preaching
by Rev. H. Paul Janes of Collegeport
is conducted twice a month. A sing-
ing service and prayer meeting is con-
ducted every Thursday night. The
present organization is sponsored by
the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A. --
Beautification of the townsite of
Collegeport, by the Collegeport Fig-
Orchards Company, has been begun.
Palms are to grace the length of Cen-

hundred palms are being installed.

Reports from Southwestern Louisi-

in that section had been resumed for
the first time in several days and that
mills were preparing to reopen on
full time. Locally, larger receipts the

situation to some extent and several
mills started to operate for the first

Receipts early were 4546 sacks

A clean school yard greatly im-
proves the appearance of a school. If
the school yard is clean, the children
going to school are more likely to be
clean, than are children going to a
school with its yard littered with pa-
pers, trash and weeds. This is true
because people are always influenced
by their surroundings.
Every school should have a regular
time each week to have the school
yard cleaned up, even if some one is
hired to do it on Saturdays.
People who keep their desks clean
of waste paper and the floor free from
stubs of pencils and trash are usually
good housekeepers. If students keep
their books in order at school, they
probably have a neat library at home.

AN ORPHAN OF PARIS.
Gavroche, an orphan of Paris, is
standing on a sidewalk in Paris be-
fore a barber shop. Two little boys
going to the barber shop and beg for
something to eat but the barber turns
them out. Gavroche befriends them
and buys a loaf of bread with the last
sou he has and divided it with them.
Then he takes them to his home,
which is a great wooden elephant in
the place of The Bastille. They en-
ter the elephant through a hole in its
. leg. Gavroche lights one of his cellar
rats or strings soaked in grease. He
puts the boys to bed in his bed which
is made of a straw mat, a coarse wool
blanket and three poles fixed like a
wigwam with brass screen wire fas-
tened around them to keep out the
rats. The smallest boy gets scared
of the rats but is quieted. Gavroche
promises them that he will take care
of them and tells them what good
times they can have. With that they
fell asleep.

THE NECKLACE.
Matilda Louise was born poor but
she longed to be rich. As a young
girl she married a clerk at the Min-
istry of Public Instructor. She was
very unhappy because she wanted to
enjoy the life of the rich while she
had to bear the privations of the poor.
One day her husband brought her an
invitation to a ball but she cried and
told him she had no gown to wear.
He brought her a gown and then she
wanted some jewels. So, on her hus-
band’s advice she borrowed a dia-
mond necklace from her old friend,
Madame Forrester. She was a great
success at the ball but came back
home and discovered that she had lost
the necklace. They bought another
one for thirty-six thousand francs and
spent ten years of hard work paying
for it. Then at the end of the ten
years they found out that the they had
lost was paste and worth five hundred
francs.

It will not be necessary to wear
stockings, but flesh colored garters
will be worn above the knee to hold
the points in place.
It is believed that this style will be
very “fetching” and popular. We hope ’

the new year. [ father. I
