W tural motto of Southwest Louisiana seemed to be, "It can't be done," "you can't raise corn here," the old timer would say, "the heat will burn it up. ar You can't raise oats; winters are wet. m You can't raise anything but scrub cat. th tie; ticks or' Texas lever will get them. D You can't raise good breds of hogs; just C stick to the razorbacks. You can't raise CQ good horses: they will die on your hands," And so on. th Progressive farmers, demonstration Ba agents, silos and other agencies have st changed this to the "Land where it can w be done." How great the progress in m this line has been will be shown at the et Calcasieu-Louisiana Fair at Lake ar Charles Oct. 26th to 29th. Premiums ag. sl gregating two thousand dollars are of fered for exhibits of improved breeds of p1 live stock: a hundred premiums are of- dE fered for corn and oats and corn pro- t ducts, all to be the products of south- w west Louisiana. And make no mistake, di they will all be taken. The farmers of tl southwest Louisiana are replacing in their range cattle, 'Cajan ponies and tr razorbacks with standard bred stock, in and are ready to compete with the l world in corn and oats. bl To the Louisiana larmer who seeks 01 to make more money the Calcasieu- rE Louisiana Fair will be an education and lv an inspiration. To the homeseeker it " will be a convincing exhibit of what s] Louisiana advancement of the farming industry that has taken place, practic I" ally under their nose without attract Y ing their attention. S This is but one phase of the many h e features of the Calcasieu-Louisiana i. Fair that *ill interest and delight all a t" who attend. h ii e CALCASIEU ROADS AN OBJECT LESSON d Department of Agriculfure Cooperates I d In Planning and Supervising I 142-Mile Highway System. iea The officials of Calcasieu Parish, La, according to the Office of Information, U. S, Dept. of Agriculture early in 1913, asked the United States Department of e Agriculture to cooperate with them in laying out and developing a system of 8 parish highways, involving the im provement of 142 miles of road to cost $900,000. The Federal authorities, un der their project "Superintendence.of County Roads", supplied highway engineers to assist in layjng out the road map and to supervise the construc. tion and repair of the roads to be im proved.- The Department's object in furnishing the expert supervision is to demonstrate to county officials the ad vantage accrueing from the supervision 1 of all county roads by some one person skilled in highway construction and maintenance, and the benefit from cen. tralized control over all roads. In this work the engineers determine the best type of road for section and also give especial attention to locating new roads and choosing old roads for improvement with relation to the amoui of traffic, and the number of I farms they will serve. The reduction of the cost per ton mile for hauling is an important factor. The engineers also assist in preparing plans and specifica tions for roads and for bridges and culverts, and for proper drainage. A model highway system was report ed upon in October, 1913, and a bond is sue amounting to $900,000 was aut horized. By Jannuary 1, 1915, about 80 miles of road had been contracted for and nearly 60 miles completed, The total work contracted for amounts to $597,458. Sixty-two miles of highway still remained to be contracted for on January 1, 1915. The work already done, however, proved so successful that steps have been taken to complete the remaining roads and to raise $300, 00 additional to construct a bridge over the Calcasieu River, and to extend the highway system already approved for the parish. The work done in this parish it is be heved will serve as a successful object lesson to other parishes, as in the work the engineers had to deal with problems of buildings roads through marshes and providing drainage, as well as with other road conditions ;similar to those found in many other parishes of the State. HOUSE BOAT SINKS IN THE BAYOU CHENE Worthy Scion of Welsh Grasps Dar win Theory. In transfering their dredges, barges and house boat to the beginning of nine mile ditch which they are digging through the Marais the Lake Arthur Dredging Company leased the Welsh Canal Company's gasoline boat, with Capt. Henry Day in charge. Sunday morning at about 4 o'clock the house boat sank in deep water in Bayon Chene. The boat which is a two story affair built over six pontoons, was occupied at the time by the fore man, Mr. McFadden, his wife and two children, the lady cook, Mr. Henry Day. and other members of the crew as sleeping quarters. Water rushing into the second story precipitated the occupants into a pan. demic of fright, some seeking safety on the barges and others, notably among - whom was Mr. Henry Day, whoseDI dreams of home and loved ones were IU thus suddenly ruptured sought safely in the topmost branches of a stately tree which lent its slalwart trunk with in their easy grasp. After the excite. ment had subsided somewhat Mr. Day '1 blushingly realizing that he was clad in OpE only a nightie and that daylight would at reveal his awful plight slid to a lower dat lveel, encountering others enroute who for were in the same plight. Sunday was Ba spent in diving for wearing apparel and ofi other valuables, and the suffers were pr( all taken to the Welsh Canal Co.'s plant to dry out and recover from the shock. an( No lives were lost and no one seriously Sig hurt. Monday morning Mr. Gabbert took of an auto load of groceries to relieve the hunger of the ship wrecked crew, and no it is expected that the boat will be float. ed soon. _ ~the We can supply you with several of the principal we repairs that will fit the wi McCormick and Deering an Binders.--Armstrong.

VanNess, who was granted a twenty-year franchise for the opera. tion of a water works system through out the corporation of Welsh has been engaged in placing the hydrants on the th main streets this week. These hydrants are looked upon as valuable fire protec- ar tion. fi loa Notice to Bicycle Riders. ro The riding of bicycles on the side- ha walks of Welsh must stop. Several children have been run over and injur ed lately. So much complaint has been made in regaril to careless riders that I have 8 notified the Marshal to arrest them. - We have no desire to fine anyone, but the ordinance relative to this will be in. forced in the future.

See rour ad in this issue for Sprices. 17-3 S Motion Pictures. o It is estimated by prominent motton picture producers that over $275,000, 000 are being spent annually by the people of the United States for the production and maintinance of mov ing picture enterprises throughout the country. Few people realise that the ordinary feature film which provides 0 the evening's entertainment costs be r tween $15,000 and $30,000 to produce. e Aside trom the money actually spent on admissions to the shows all over the country, the greater part of the Scapital used in connection with the Smoving picture industry is that tied Sup by the producers of the embryo l features. Over $120,000,000 are tied e up in the apparatus and property of - the giant syndicates.-World's Ad Svanc.. e"Freshness" Rebuked. S Mr. Allen Aynesworth, who is win ning fresh laurels in the revival of S"Ready Money," has a pretty wit. It t is said that Mr. Aynesworth met, at kI the rehearsal of a new piece, a youth as who was giving himself many airs on d the strength of his first engaement in h London. "These rehearsalb are a e beastly fag," the young man was good e enough to observe, "but thank good. eses I know my words." "Both of them?" asked Ayneaworth.
