Some little excitement was caused Tuesday a little before noon. when the Armstrong Machine and Well Works Co. sounded the fire whistle. There was a general hustling for the scene of the conflagration, and in less time than it takes some firemen to get busy, ready hands had loaded the city ladders and buckets onto the wagon that belongs to the Faught Lumber Co., which was convenient at the time, and a credible run was made for the Earnest Bourgeois housJ on the north side. By the time the buckets and ladders reached the scene of the fire, which was but a small blaze on the roof it had been ex tinguished.. The damage was slight. TO MAKE RICE ASSOCIATION A POWER IN P THE LAND. Aims to Put Rice On the Table of the Laborers In Congested Centers of Population-Field in the U.'S. Practically Limitless. ;'Taken from the Crowley Signal, I Aug. 19.) f Hon. Ienri L. Gueydan, who was Wednesday elected manager of the t Rice Association of America, with the t express purpose of exoloiting and ad vertising rice, when asked as to his plans, said: "It is impossible this early to form ulate my plans for increasing the consumption of rice. I was appoint ed only a few hours ago. and yvon should give time for the ink to dry on the paper, before tiring hard ones at me. "'l'The list retquisite is hacking, all alonI,. the gulf cot ast where rice is 'raiseid, itnoral and tinancial backing, Th'eni it will be up to me to makelgood. Speakinu generally, wherever I shall tind that rice is sold to the consumer at ant unrei'aslonalbly high profit, it will be the aim it the association to have the price lowered to a fair prolit, byl assisting the retailer in disposing of the cereal. This will be accomiolished by demonstrations at places where rice is sold and by advertising in fav or of deuartment stores and groce.'ies that will be willing to lower the price to the consumer. It is expected that a great amount of free advertising will be obtained in the name of the Rice Association. "Our best field will be congested centers of population, for it will be my aim to put rice on the table of the laborer, as the best and cheauest ce real on earth, best especially in food value. It is eaten all over the world by the poorer people, more than any other cereal; yes more than any other food. Our tfield in the United States is virtually limitless. Cotnsumrtion can be increased at lea-; five-fold among our 85,000,000 peopl . who are always ready to be convincied. Just think what that will mean i., the rice belt. It will bring about the much desired stability of the rice industry, and the full development of the gulf coast country-highe vii I ties, greatly increased population and general prosperity. It will mean this will be the most desirable asricultural terri tory in the United States. ''"Much good work will a'lso be done by correspondence. In many ways rice and the rice belt will be put to the front. A plan will be evolved to obtain correct rice statistics, to be taken seriously by the trader. As the association includes the producer, the miller, the transportation lines and the distributor and hopes to include the great mass of consumers, it should bring together these differ ent elements in a strong pull for greater consumption of rice and the general wellfare of the industry. We aim to make the Rice Association of America, a strong force for good." t, Preparing to Lay New Sidewalk at the I School House. s J. M. Blarnette is getting gravel on d the ground preparatory to laying ce I ment walks around the school house. SThis is in accord with an ordinance Srecently passed by the city council. PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO OPEN SEPTEMBER 13 4 All PuplIu Should lie tl'ere the First i Day it P'ossible. The public schools of Calcasieu parish, will convene the 13th of Sep temlbr. for a term of nine months, in most instances, although some will he for shorter terms. All oupils expecting to attend school this winter should endeavor to heI there the first day. It is of special importance that pupils be there at the beginning of the term this year, as new books will be introduced and new courses taken up, and in order that the pupils shall obtain the best re sults, it is absolutely necessary for I them to be on hand when the classes are organized. A week or a month lost at the beginnin g of the term, can never be regained. Nor is it fair to the teachers or the other pupils, es pecially in the lower grades, to keel) a little fellow out until the classes are started and then send hium in, as then the teacher has to go over all the be ginning work that the class has al ready had, for possibly, a sin]le pupil. In the older trades there will be new text books in many subjects, which pupils will find hard to master, if they are not there to begin the work with the classes. And again, in the hizh school there will he three cours es to choose from this year instead of but one, so it behooves every hithI school pupil to be there when the classes are arranged, so as to have a voice in the matter of selecting the courses. Especially is this true in smaller high schools, where it is prob able that but one course will he ar ranged for, and that a selection byw the pupils and teachers. Every parent should remember that this is the golden period of life for their child: that they are now laying the foundation upon which they are to build life's structure. The world to day is, and tomorrow will continne to demand men and women with trained mainds, to carry on its great undertak ings. WORK BEGUN ON NEW AUDITORIUM. Mr. Fulton Lays First Brick..-Work Will be Pushed Rapidly. The first brick of the new auditor inm was laid at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon of last week, by Mr. Oscar Fulton, one of the oldest and most prominent citizens of Welsh. Mr. Adolph A. See, the contractor, and Mr. W. M. Hanagriff, who has charge of the brick work, came over from Lake Charles Thursday and drew the lines and began the work of laying the foundation. The building, when complete, will be one of the best, if not the best play house to he found between New Or leans and Houstton. It is estimated that thetotal cost of the building, Swhen fully completed, will be in the neighborhood of $10,000. According to the terms of the con tract, the building will be completed by the first of November. This will be a splendid advertisement of the B progressiveness of the town of Welsh, and an honor to the entire community First (alcasieu Rice. The first sale of Calcasieu rice c curred last week when Philip Miller, superintendent of the Jennings mill of this city, bought 482 sacks of 90 day Japan rice from Lewis , Phelps of R1oanoke, for $2.25 per sack, with out weighing. This rice was of poor quality, being soft and red and this sale is not in any sense a criterion by which to estimate the opening of the Jap market. The HIoys' Judge "Speaks. Hon. llen.
