" SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAIL WAY TO ADVERTISE RICE of - of September 30to Will Be Rice Day on I at All Southern Pacific Lines Both he Railroads and Steamships. Ut it . Information has just come to us that, following its custom, the South ;at ern Pacific rail and steamshiP lines, n extending from Portland, Oregon to New York, will celebrate September the N 30 as Louisiana and Texas Rice Day. A rice dish will be served free to to patrons of the dining cars and to I ipassengers on steamships that day. US- In addition to this the menues5vill the contain several otner delicious rice ot dishes for whichl a minimum charge rhe will be made. Some special litera ept ture has been issued by the Southern the Pacific whichb ives some valuable in ery formation regarding rice and many in rice receipts. These booklets will be ew distributed to passengers on Septem-. old ber 30. oManyv of the railroads of Louisiana ot as well as manv northern lines, have ha given their assurance that they will ur- take similar action and serve rice h dishes free to patrons of their dining e cars on September 30th. et The object of this celebration is to her increase the consumption of this de- wonderful cereal. Many of our own in- people do not appreciate its nutri ith- tive value. aent Mr. J. H.

A I study of the vote will show, ice That Welsh was the only one of the three competing towns that carried its own vote. to That Welsh is the only one of the competing towns that did secure votes in every precinct in the i- parish. Lake Arthur failed to get a vote in 12 of the 'a. precincts, and Jennings failed to get a single vote in 4 Ic of the 16 precincts. be That Welsh received a majority in 13 of the 16 precincts of the parish, while Jennings received a ma n jority ini but two precincts in the parish, JEnnings and o Baymond. . That Welsh received two and a haW times as many votes outside of her own pre(inct as she polled within it while Jennings received but about half as many votes in all the rest of the parish as she polled in her own pre cinct. That Welsh received more than twice as many votes in the parish, outside of her own precinct, as Jennings did outside of her own precinct. That Jennin'gs' entire vote is practically confined to four precincts,\ having received but 38 votes from the remaining twelve precincts. That the vote for Welsh is pretty evenly scattered over the entire parish, she having received a substantial vote in every precinct in the parish except Jennings and Lake Arthur, and in each of these places, although candidates for the parish seat themselves, Welsh re ceived some votes.
