The farmers are rejoicing over the nice weather we have been having all this week. Mr. Elbert E. Hoffpauir is building a very neat dwelling house. He has had one or two carpenters at work most of the time since he began the work on his house. Mr. Martin Rouseaux's child that was very sick Thursday died. He has a little boy very sick, not hardly ex pected to recover. Mrs. Amelia O. Haves went to Lake Charles Friday. Mrs. Belonie Blanchard who was quite sick is better. Quite a number of persons have been sick, but they are able to be up and at their occupations now. The work on the public road is pro gressing quite nicely now, but the past heavy rains we had prevented them getting along as well and as fast as they had expected to do.

DeVasher died Thursday morning at their home at the Oil Fields and was buried in Oak lawn Cemetery in Welsh Friday, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. E. M.

No lesson. , re so i n;,ressive and so Adl lasting as are those which have been burned into oie's consciousness by the white-hot l ui lace or experience. The farmers of the South have had a sur. - feit of this sort of experience since the b European war openedi. of Their avaiiadse resources havene ver to before been so great, the earth has the given forth its increase in cotton, in are corn, in rice and in u:ugar cane to an aw extent uneqcilled in recent years. ket Providence smiled upon us in benign of skies and the harvest season was glori- is ous. Hundreds of millions of dollars wb of solid assets are represented by the sy, crops now gathered, sheltered and by awaiting favorable markets. na: The war,-by absorbing so large a ful proportion of the world's available on money supply, has broken down the I market for our crops a:id has curtailed an the capacity to buy of those who need po what we have to sell. Happily, our pia staple products are not perishable; we sti can hold them against the day when un embattled Europe exhausted and fame- sp smitten shall compose their differences ink and ask us to feed and clothe them. ri( I'm not acquainted with all the roads of the parish that may have been in- re vestigated by the Grand .Jury? But I ad believe I am as well acquainted with ha Let the farmer "sit tight" and wait cc for the opening of the market, prepar- m ing himself in the meantime for real w farming next year. It is idle to look to cc the Legislature attemping to regulate it acreage planted, or to prohibit the h( planting of any staple crop would but it add the element of asininity to a seri- pi ous situation. tl The only practical relief must come tl throught self-help and co-operation. a The farmer, the merchants and the a bankers must get together and work a together, or irretrivable disaster will t, overwhelm all alike. We are in the a midst of a situation in which supreme a courage, cool heads, and persistent self-sacrifice are imperative. It is to help bridge over just such situations that the Southwest Louisi ana Development Bureau was organiz ed. It is the central organization through which this necessary co-opera. tion may be effectively directed. Mem bership in it is like an insurance policy against weather, war and bad crops. Have you taken out a policy in it? Reduce you cotton acreage next year; reduce your rice acreage; reduce your sugar cane acreage. But prepare your lands well, fertilize them scientifically, cultivate them intensively. Then increase your acreage several hundred percent in oats, lespedza, clovy er potatoes, vegetables, fruits and raise dairy cows and beef cattle, hogs and poultry, and the farmer will then be in position to laugh at "bad crop years", at wlir, at trusts and at the things that now confuse and perplex.

UP-TO-DATE W iU Advertising MethO:ls Adcptea by ,: Enterprisiug House That The Cooper Drug 'o. is tast becoming metropolii.1, n1 tihe methodns of advertising used :.y our merchants to call the buying pi\lc's at.ention to the many splendid values which they are offering, also that that the wide awake firm of Cooper Drug Co., are keeping up with any just a little ahea.. of the times in an advertising respect is again practically demonstrated by what is perhaps the most elaborate system of advertising ever attempted by any business house in this section, namely: the giving away of the beauti ful Parlor Grand Piano which is now on exhibition at their store. This piano retails at $400. each, guar. anteed for ten years. The principal points of superiority of this celebrated piano over any other of this class of in struments lie in the three strings in unison with overstrung bass, the splendidly pitched scale and true sound ing board which give the piano that rich deep even tone so much admired. In a recent interview with Dr.Cooper regarding this decided innovation in advertising, Dr. Cooper stated: "We have been enjoying the patronage and t confidence of the buyers of this comrn munity for some time now and by al 1 ways trying to keep our stocks complete the saving that 'Yon can get e It at Cooper's Drug Co.,' has become a B household expression, In giving away t this piano we were actuated by a double * purpose, to show our appreciation of the patronage of our friends during e the past, also to encourage new trade 1. and to bring the many splendid values Le we are now showing in all lines to the k attention of every buyer in this terri 11 tory. The plan we are using in giving e away this piano is equitable and fair to ie all, simply this, eyery person buying it ==-= --- - ... ,e U,t,,l"'s W( ii I .nytiiag in our ,e will receive a coupon good for 100 votes. lihe person returning to us t !.e a'gest nu.n Cer of votes will be giv. egn the piano ab:o.utely tree of all cast. o .a c'rs will be show;i.

Resolutions of Rebecca Chapter No.2 It has pleased our Heavenly Father in the death of our sister, Elizabeth Robinson, to enter our Chapter and remove from our chain, one of its brightest links. How much we miss her cannot be estimated by measure. Her many deeds of kindness, and grate* ful words of encourgement at all times will be long remembered in the hearts of one and all. But we feel that she has been called to serve in a nobler and grander work above. We extend to her loved ones our fraternal sym pathy and commend to them the kindly intercession of our Lord.
