We call attention this week to the
advertisement Of the Equitable Life
Insurance Co., in another column, repre-,
Sented by Mr., Frank II. Vance, district
agent The Equitable stands at the head
Of life insurance companies in the matter
Of its reserve fund and its dividends paid
to policy holders. There are many good
and sound solvent life companies, and
the question is asked, is not one just as
good as another? We answer by no Omeans.
The rates Of premiums charged are essen
TALLY the same in all but the policy holders
share in the profits Of the business, hence
it follows that the company that does the
most profitable business will return the
largest amount to the policy holder
which can be used to diminish lls cash
premium OF increase his insurance as he
may will. Mr. Vance has the facts and
figures which make the matter perfectly
clear.

time was too short to accomplish al the
unfinished business and another session
will have to be held, The proposition
ef Mess. Gueble a. JOLIET, the owners
the market building to give the city 20
per cent of the gross proceeds of tie
market provided the council shall compel
the removal of all the meat markets
green goceTs and fruit stands TO the m,,T-
ket building, was favored by large
petition Of citizens, and there was also o
Tepl0pstranGe nearly as large. This
beng the Situation no action was taken
ID tue matter and it will go over with
other unfinished business to the new
council. An ordinance introduced and
passed compelling the market men on
Ryan street to keep theiP meat, poultry
and other articles kept for sale OF From

The few crumbs of Official patronage
which are To be disposed of by the city
council are eagerly sought for, For city
clerk, the present incumbent, J. C. FoaFd,
and d. N. Foster, Jry are applicants. II
is not certain, ut the present writing,
June w. that either will receive the
appointment The most important Office
is that of city collector, and for this
place there are numer0us candidates,
prominent among whom are Mr.. Sam
Whetherell and Felix Perkins, Either
one of these gentlemen are perfectly
competent and we doubt not would make
good officers, but Il is possible that
neither will receive the appoiptmept.
The fire alarm, which was sounded
about II O'clock on Monday hight, was
caused by the falling of an inseeurely
fastened lamp at the Presbyterian Church
after the evening session of the Sunday
school convention had adjourned and the
japitor was putting ont the lights. After
giving the alarm be was assisted by Mr..
A. N. Mayo, Mr. Ney, secretary Of the
convention, and Mr.. Kinney, who bad
gone but little distance from the church,
and the fire was extipguished with slight
damage.

A ride overland from Lafayette to
Crowley via Indian Bayou and Rnyne
one day last week for the purpose of
looking up the rice prospects showed the
condition of the crops in that territory
to be about As follows: Acreage de-
creased fully 40 per cent. The early
planted looks well, in fact above the
average. Later planted shows the, effect
Of lack of moisture. Planting not yet
completed and much that is planted not
yet mp. No rain in this section for more
than two months until the 9Th inst.
when a good shower came which was
centered at Crowley. This revived the
hopes Of the rice planters. The crop is
freer from weeds and red rice, and better
methods have prevailed this year than
ever before. Should there be abundant
rains from this Oh, a good crop will be
raised. An abundance Of rain since the
above was written.

now in session has one hundred ant
thirty-eight teachers enrolled and NOR,
intelligent, genial lot of ladies ant
gentlemen would be difficult to find. Al
seem to have come with determination
to gain valuable knowledge that viii
help them along in their chosen pro
tessiOn. And under the able Instructors
they are preparing to do better work in
I 70 future than in the past. The work
being done by the professors is thorough
ly practical and can be put into practice
in our country schools, which fact
will be the means of bringing up the
standard of our country schools, causing
patrons and friends to have more conf
dence in their teachers. There are teach
ers attending the normal from our sister
parishes, which shows that Calcasieu
parish is in the lead in the great cause of
education.
If time and space were allotted us we
would be glad to give one or moro col
umns descriptive of the work being done.
