Farmers generally have not b-ee 1 s financially able this season to n0phoy labor to put in the crop as th cy lu ve been heretofore. They have not been able to secure the usual credit at lo cal stores and banks to buy ,od, seed, fertilizer. etc. The low ,.lling price of the 1920 crop, the poor Prrr pects of price advance, anl the large percentage of last year's crop ra ui in ing unsold were discouraging ":OcLtis -and induced the farmers to curtail their planting opaerations this year. Weather conditions were such that the cotton crop improved considerably during the last month. Hwever, the crop is still from two to four weeks late. While the weather during June was generally favorable for the growth and cultivation of cotton, grassy fields are reported in a few localities, and the plants are goner ,ally reported as being undersized. As a general thing, however, the fields are clean and well cultivated. But comparatively little fertilizer was us ed under cotton this year, and in con sequence the growth in general is not so good as usual. Boll weevils are reported to be numerous in many localities, and constitute a serious menace of the future of the crop. The percentage condition of cotton by parishes on June 25 is as follows. comparison being with a normal cond ition represented by 100 per cent.

ANCIENT NEGRO CROSSES RIVER VALSIN SAVANT. 101 YEARS OF AGE, NATIVE OPELOUSEAN DIES SATURDAY The Clarion has been informed of. the death last Saturday evening of Valein Savant, aged negro, who pass ed away at his home in this city after an existence of slightly more than one hundred and one years, the entire time of which was in this community where he was born and where just as the Sabbath day was drawing to a* close, he was buried with the rites of the Catholic church by Rev. Father Hyland, pastor of the Holy Ghostl church for colored Catholics. The deceased was born on the old Birotte place, just north of town, now owned by Ben Donato, and during slavery days was the property of tiih Donato family. He leaves a large number of descendants, even unto the fourth and fifth generations. Tho e who knew him best stated that he was a faithful servant to those who owned. him and since the proclamation ending slavery he has worked hard and faith fully for all who employed him He: lived far beyond the human span of existence and his long life, couple-d with that of many others in this country. leads one to believe thra there is something in this climate that is propitious to long life. THE COLORED NORMAL IN SESSION HERE: The colored summer normal begun its work June 20th, under very favor able auspices. The sessions are being held in the public school building, and hI as an enrollment of sixty-five stu dents teachers, representing five par ishes. This normal iB one of thb twanty nine being held in various parts of the state, which serve to give a geno Sral review of the common school branches and to present the practical problems of teaching as they apply to these branches and to the proper management of our schools. The state deparment of education. through Mr. L. M. Favrot, state agent for negro schools, is doing a great work in fostering the cause of negro education throughout the state, and the seven thousand colored teachers are being commissioned to every nook and corner of the state to turn on more light among the colored people that they may find themselves and that they may have the proper com ception to live in harmony with 'all laws, both spiritual, moral and natu ral. Ladership among the colored peo pie is being established more and more each day, and the masses are beginning to look to no other source, and should not accept from any other source leaders, other than those pro-b duced by the great school system of the sta. e. Through this system the ne gro is being trained to find himself and to know his possibility, sand in the not too distant future, he may join with the poet in saying " I once was lost, but now I'm found; Was blind, but now I see." In dealing with this group of teach ers. -t should be kept in mind that we are building the leaders who are to build a race despite the efforts in some quarters to dwarf his spiritual and tdental vision. The times demand teachers who can and will do something in their respective communities to make life better, and to expound those princi ples which are essential to good citi zenship. J. H.

BONUS BILL GETS BLACK EYE WHEN PRESJI$iNT TALKS Nation's Executive Advises Against Passage of Measure GOVERNMENT MIGHT FACE BANKRUPTCY Claims of Wounded And Maimed Must Come First, He Says The president of the United States Tuesday appeared before the senate and advised against that body adopt ing the "soldier bonus bill" at the present time, stating it was his firm conviction that the adopting of the measure carrying an appropriation of ;billions might so strain the financial resources of the country as to threat en near bankruptcy. .As a result of the president's stirring appeal the bill has been held up indefinitely and the longed-for bonus may hang fire for years, if it is ever seriously consider ed again. The dispatch from Washington con veying the news of Pres. Harding': speech befre the senate in part is as follows: Washington, July 12.-Pledges of a wide majority of votes to lay aside 'the soldier bonus bill were claimed by republican leaders and conceded by opponents after President Harding, in an address to the senate tday, had made formal request for temporary postponement of consideration of the measure. In making his request, the president called attention to the con dition of the treasury, saying that en actment of the legislation at this .time wuld "greatly imperil the finan cial stability of our country." Immediately after the president had finished speaking, Chairmani Penrose of the finance committee moved the bill be recommitted to his committee but democratic opposition prevented a vote today. The motion was under unlimited debate but a vote tomorrow was expected, although some democratic opponents said itl might be delayed until Thursday. President Harding delivered his ad-, dress at 2 o'clock, before a distin-; guished audience. .Reiterating his rec ognition of the obligations to care f.,r disabled and dependent war vet erans; the president said "general compensation" shouui be entered upon at a time w)i.n ii twould be consis tently .possi&-, .'" "Overburdening the treasury now, means positive disaster in the years immedhtely before us," the president declared. Keenest prudence calls out In warning. Although the bonus bill was the president's major subject, he also urged action on the tariff and tax leg islation, for which the extra session was especially callh. There was, he said, "confessed disappointment that so little, progress has been made on. readjustment and reduction of the war-time taxes." He also urged early passage of the bill to organize war risk and vocational training services aiding former service men. The president reached the senate just as the bonus bill was laid before it for the day's debate. He was ap plauded for about a minute when he entered the chamber and again when he concluded, but his remarks were not interrupted. Galleries and lob bies outside were crowded. In the ex ecutive's private gallery were Mrs. Harding and a party of friends and Brigadier General Sawyer, the presi dent's presonal physician. On the senate floor were virtually all sena tors in the city, scores of house mem bers, including Representative Mon dell, republican floor leader, and At torney General Daugherty, Post Mas ter General Hays and Secretary Day is. Immediately upton the ipresident's departure, Senature Penrose offered the republican motion for recommit ment of the bill, .with a promise of "further careful consideration." Dem ocrats rose at once in opposition, Sen ator Robinson, demnocrar, Arkansas, declared the motion meant 'obsequies' for the bill. It would bec nome "dead -for some years.' he predicted, de claring the recommittal motion was a "shield" for senators pledged 1'revi ously to support the measure Another opponent of the Penrose motion, Senator Jones, democrat, New Mexico, speaking for two hours, de clared the president's action unpre cedented.. No other executive he said had ever appeared before congress to oppose legislation but only to advo cate it. Defense of the president was made by Senator King, democrat, Utah, an opponent of the bonus measure, who said the executive's course was "pro per, courageous." Urging delay in the vote on recom mittal until tomorrow, Senator Robin son threatened ,an immediete motion to adjourn, which the republicans prepared to resist, but protracted democratic debate took up the remai-. der of time until adjournment.

Fux, Opelousas, La. 4TH WARD JUROR SAYS ROAD BOARD NOT TOTING FAIR (Continued from page 1) stated to us that it was their convic tion and belief that the people who have not enjoyed the use of gravel roads in their neighborhoods in the past should be served first, before the main r*ads that have been graveled,; should be rebuilt. Of course they dol. not contend to apply this to the rcad through Opelousas to Sunset. To thise extent we fully agreed with the board but as far as the general public is con- - cerned and the taxpayers, it doesn't seem fair and equitable to me that the most important roads and the ones that carry the heaviest traffic should be considered first in any road building plans, and the minor, or cross-roads second and I would sug gest that the business people of Op elousas get together and acquaint themselves as to the facts and try to show the board the equity of it and what the taxpayers most desire, as it does seem that it is not reasonabl, to build all these roads in a westerly direction from what is known as the Pershing highway, and none east, ex cept perhaps one down Bayou Cour tableau from Washington, and one to Port Barre, ,provided there are auffi cient funds left. The Port Barre road being one of the most traveled roads of the dis trict and serving a large number of people fronm the fourh and third wards that do business at Opelousas, as well as taxpayers of the district, it behoo ves the business people of Opelou sas and those living on the Port Barre road, to give the matter serious con sideration. And as this may form a link in the new state highway, it should be built without delay, as it means a great deal to Opelousas to have an east and west road across the state, and should be in a position when the legislature meets to offer at least a portion of ti :, link In good condition, as chance: are the Krotz Springs road will be completed by that time and the sixth ward have about completed their road east and west, which would make a continu ous road across St. Landry. 1 Motto of what is being done: Op elousas and the p~roperty owners on the Port Barre road are paying more t than half of the entire tax "and GET- 1 TING NOTHING! Hoping the board will see the 1 equity in this matter and that the t taxpayers of the district will co-ope- ' rate with the board and get this im portant link built, Respectively, t W. F. BROWN c LOCALS GET SCALP' OF KINDER AGAIN ALLEN PARISH TEAM COMES AND IS BADLY BEATEN--OTHER NOTES OF BASEBALL Kinder's ball team came over for the second time last Thursday and though the ywere going to retrieve their lost fortune by scalping the lo cals at Giron park. The game took place after a heavy rain but the wet condition of the grounds did not deter the players from putting up a good scrap or the tans from attending in force. Kinder was shut out, 5 to one big "goose egg." Lake Charles has cancelled its three-game series that was to have been played here next week, and as the accusation has been made that the Lake City team won't play ball away from home for fear of getting beaten, it begins to look as if -there I was some truth in the charge. It is plain they ican not be beaten on their home grounds because of the "ump' and as long as they won't leave home there is no way of test ing their real qualities as ball players. Patterson's strong team -l.ý 'due here for a two-game series, ti'tflrst of which will take place this :'after noon (Saturday) and the 'second game tomorrow (Sunday). The Patterson ites are reputed as being one of the strongest teams in the south half of the state and has been putting up stiff fights all the season. It is agreed that Opelousas will have to play some strong ball to win one or both games, but the locals are girded up for the fight and say they are going to ,put victory across the plate and show the Pattersonites they are not the only cutfit that can play winning ball in southern Louisiana. The fans are much disappointed be cause Lake Charles refused to "coml cause Lake Charles refused to "come to the quilting," for they had been counting high on getting the goat of; the Calcasieu bunch.
