PEANUT BUTTER PIE
Mr. Editor:—Here is a pie that is
good. I have never tried to get any
one else to make it, because I did not
want to say I made it; but it is the
best you ever ate. Try it and then
tell the peoplg of Leesvilie what you
think about it:
Eight whole eggs and the yolks of
eight more; 2/i cups sugar; one pinf
peanut butter; one pint, sweet milk;
2 cups hot water; 3 teaspoons corn
starch; butter size of an egg. Make
same as any cream pie; this will make
four or five pies and they are sure
good.—Your Friend, H. G. L.

NO LOUISIANA SWEETS NEÉD
APPLY IN CALIFORNIA
.
\
Here is a true story.
One of the members of Lleno Col
ony temporarily in Los Angeles, went
to a market to buy some vegetables.
She saw sweet potatoes offered for
sale, and asked if they were from
Louisiana.
"No, lady," responded the clerk,
"we do not allow Louisiana sweet po
tatoes in the Los Angeles markets."
"Don't allow 'em?" queried the as
tonished colonist. "Why not? Aren't
they as good as the California pro
duct?" ,
"That's just the trouble,' answere'd
the honest clerk (all clerks in Los
Angeles are honest, by the way) "they
are too good. When we offer Louis
iana sweet potatoes at ten cents a
pound, and California sweet potatoes
at five cents, the California sweets
rot here in the market, and we can't,
ship the Louisiana sweets in fast
enough. That's bad for home industry.
So we don't handle the Louisiana ar
ticle here in this city."
FARMERS DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO PLANT fi'M
Western Louisiana farmers arj not
derided what to pi ant this year-, ac
cording to advice fiom the Florien cor-
respondent of the Sabioe Index, pub- 1
lished a, Ik* Bung
what Vernon fanners think, we repri.i"
the salient remarks from Florien an
ncnt planting crops:
"I hear some talk of a big cotton
crop being planted tins year. It seed's
to the writer that the farmers have had
enough experience with cotton to know
that it is not dep«r dable as a moiuy
c.'opi Then v."h> not resort to some
thing else, sweet p' tatoes for instance.
Jheré is a guaranteed market and a
fair price for all (lit potatoes the peo
ple will raise. There is more money in
sweet potatoes at 25c a bushel than
there is in cotton al 20c & pound, and
I can prove it. Iu cultivating cotton
the average fanner give fifteen fur
rows to the row, while seven is enough
for potatoes, so there is eight furrows
saved. If a man makes a half of a
bale of cotton to the acre he thinks
he is getting rich. Sold aj: 20c it will
bring $50.00. An ordinary yield of
potatoes is 200 bushels per acre. They
have raised 600 bushels at the experi
ment station. Two hundred bushels
at 25c woujd bring $50.00. Keep in
mind too, that it will take only a day
or tsio to harvest an acre of potatoes,
and a week or two to harvest an acre
of cotton, besides, the over and under
size potatoes will average 50 bushels
to the acre vyhich can be fed to the
stock." '•$$$
FARMERS OF VERNON PARISH
HOLD ORGANIZATION MEETING
There was a meeting at the Court
House Saturday evening at one 'oclock,
of the Farm Labor Union, for the pur
pose pf organizing into a permanent
body. The meeting was called by the
organizer, Mr. L. L. Rhodes, of Texas,
who addressed the meeting, composed
of Vernon Parish farmers. In his ad
dress, th^speaker depicted farm life at
the present time in appalling terms,
and quoted from U. S. statistics;
He stated that the farms of the na
tion are being passed over and into
the hands of the larger interests of the
country, and that the farmer bears the
burden of the world upon his Jback,
his business being to raise foods and
sell them at the other fellow's price.
He cited cotton, "Kirtg Cotton," as
they used to call it in the good old days
when a farmer could make a little mon
ey. He raises cotton, and the price of
it is fixed away off in Liverpool one
year before it is raised, and the men
who fix the price have never seen cot
ton grow; but they are so expert in
their work as cotton brokers that they
can tell blindfolded and by the mere
touch from what part of the world a
piece of cotton comes, fhey can tJl
you what grade it is with their eyes
shut; they have made the subject of
cotton their life's work. These are"
the men who make the price of cotton
here and elsewhere, and then after the
farmer has sold it at the dealer's price
he may go into the store next year
and buy this same cotton in the form
of cloth and pay 20 times what it is
wprth. All other lines of agricultural
products were discussed until the meet
ing fully decided that it was urgent
that the farmers organize for self-pro
tection. The meeting was adjourned
ior one week, when the organization
will be perfected. Every one is invited
to be present at one o'clock next Sat
urday at the court house.

Look out for a new aspirant for pu

Mr. Dempsey will'have to look to his

and he was born on a farm in Minn

where he was employed as a carpenter
in a movie show. There he was a
"find". Now they are grooming him
and so far he has knocked out every
man that has stood before him. Ralph
Smith is 6 ft, 7inches in height, all

The English government will collect
$4,300,000 in estate and inheritance
taxes from the heirs of a famous Eng
lish shipowner, who recently died and
left a fortune of $6,250,000. Read
this over again; it is startling, but true.
You may imagine that the .figures are
wrong, that some mistake has been
made in the type, but it is not so; they
have left the heirs to disburse between
them $1,950,000, which under any
kind of circumstances ought to be
enough to support them in comfort all
their days. The rest goes to. the gov
ernment. Is it any wonder that the
English pound sterling has recovered
so quickly when they have the spirit
to write such a law as that into the
statute books of the nation? Our gov
ernment has been dilly-dallying over
the question of what to do, or what
not to do for the boys, our boys, who
suffered in the trenches; and so far
they have done nothing but talk about
what they will do. Today, they speak
of taxing this; tomorrow they find
so much opposition to that subject that
they commence to talk of taxing some
other thing. But have you ever heard
of such a thing as taxing two-thirds of
all inheritances? No. Yet what would
be more fair than such a law?

When a real king will stand up bare
headed in the council chambers of his
nation» and listen to the demands of the
senators to discontinue the use of the
words "By the grace of God" and nev
er bats an eye in protest, then there is
something doing in this old world of
ours. The discontinuation'of that sim
ple sentence would mean that the so
called divine rights of king are all
thrown in the scrap pile of modern
thought, and that kings are but com
mon mortals here below. Yet this is
what kins- Gustave of Sweden did last
week, and now ihe conservatives of
that country are w>ld with anger at the
very idea of such impertinence on the
part of the common people coming
into the presence of the king with such
disloyal utterances. Verily this old
world does move. Here the very c t
ner stone of roynfj is shattered into
fragments so mm 1. as never jr. ue
found again. The divine rigltf of tl-c
Kaiser Wilhelm is .* bout as big o.s a
peanut now, in his isolation and tlis
grace. The people take a long lipe
to see some Illings, but they do really
see them when the proper tifne comes,
and this is but cue of the. many errors
which tfye^ human family has seen
through aid lighted. Liltle Sweden is
to be congratulated because of the in

PACIFIC CO-OP. LEAGUE
IN RECEIVER'S HANDS
The Pacific Co-operative League, es
tablished in 1913, the largest and the
oldest consumers' co-operative business
organization in this country, has ap
plied to the Federal Court for protec
tion.
. . .
Ihe League is not insolvent, but is
forced to this action by reason of in
bemal discord.
■ i The League is composed of over
] 6,000 members and ^operates in the
six coast states from Oregon to New
Mexico.
i Diversity of views among the mem
bers and their inexperience and im
patience in business is the cause of the
trouble.
The League has been in operation
since 1913 and has paid out very large
sums in dividends. During the year
1921, however, it met with business re
Verses so that dividends had to be sus
pended. This caused general dissat
isfaction and interference with the
management of the business by a min
ority of disgruntled stockholders, who
opposed the rigid business retrench
ment made necessary by recent trad:
depression. Attempts by the president
to close out stores that were unprofita
ble have been resisted by litigation, in
timidation and other means.
The building up of the Pacific Co
operative League's 43 stores with its
vast business, amounting to over $3,
000,000 annually, represents many
years of hard labor on the part of
Ames and his fellow workers.
It is because the property and busi
ness is endangered by unwarranted and
destructive interference and the conse
quent inability of the management to
meet its obligations promptly, that a re
ceiver is asked for now.
It is hoped that through the Feder
al Court, power will be secured to set
tie these disputes, the unprofitable :
stores disposed of and the future of the i
business definitely settled. |
This element of selfishness has been :
the only real unsurmountable obstacle i
Mr. Ames says, that the work" has met 1
with, and it threatens the success of
the present attempt
Some of the causes of the present
trouble, according to Mr. Ames, are:
1. Und« capitalization.
2. Inability to sell unprofitable stores
because of resistance of stockholders,
residents of such stores.
3. Consequent inability to meet the
bills promptly.
4. Undue interference in the opera
tion of the business by the stockhold
ers with resultant breaking down of
discipline among the branch store man
agers and field workers.
5. The extension of credit at some
stores in spite of all rules to the con
trary.
6. The injecting of dissension and
propaganda within the organization by
certain prominent radical theorists who
have persistently sowed distrust and
suspicion among the stockholders and
OUi}[/(ViVIl umvug "*v vtvv p^ vl,,v ' v

business.

Mr. Babb was laying them. Two brick
were laid up edgewise in the trench and
a third brick was laid across the oth
er two. A small crack was lift between
the two top bricks to let the water
down through and drain out. By drain
ing the water out, the soil is kept
pure and not allowed to sour. An end
