NAVAL STATION IS BEATEN BY
TULANE IN PRACTICE GAME
Tulane defeated the Naval Station
eleven 18 to 6 in a scrimmage at the
stadium. Both teams showed much
improvement over their previous
game. The Navy was weakened by
the absence of Wheeler. all-American I
tackle, from the lineup. Wheeler,
however, coached his team and point
ed out its defects. Coach Shaugh
nessey did the same for his team.
PAROLED BY THE MAYOR.
Arraigned before Third Recorder
Goff Thursday on charges of "dan
gerous and suspicious," Basil Thomp
son and Walter Gurley, who were ar
rested Wednesday afternoon in John
Sprada's saloon by Corporal Hyde
and Patrolman Hoffman, asked for
affidavits which were made, after
which they were released to appear
for trial later.
The arrest of Thompson and Our
ley followed a remark uncompliment
ary to Mayor Behrman made by one
one of them in the presence of R.
A. George, 3204 St. Ann street, bar
keeper for Sprada. who ltiormed the
police. At first they gave fictitious
names and said they were strangers,
but later their identity became
known and Mayor Behrman himself
paroled them.
RAISED OKRA THIS YEAR.
People with small gardens and
acreage in the immediate vicinity of
Algiers can make a fine investment
out of their little plots of grounds. by
raising okra during the coming year.
The Louisiana Canning Co.. which
. has a plant on our side of the river,
. will be prepared this spring to pur
chase all the okra that is brought to
their place, at market prices.
The large demand for okra is not
temporary, for the plant is estab
lished as a general necessity, and so
any acreage hitherto planted could be
trebled without the slightest danger
of the market fluctuating or being
overstocked.
It is to this section that the world
now looks for its chief supply, and
our people should rise to the situa
tion. Those who have planted little
patches of ekra In their gardens
. would now do well to plant large
fields of it, and those who have
grown it in large fields should now
plant larger fields.
