when the harvest came they had their
Thanksgiving Day.

Was There Any Dough-

The stubborn refusal of certain
members of the State Board OF Edu-
cation to accede to the very reason
able request of the Governor and
other members of the Board that a
committee of experienced educators
examine and report upon the merits
of the school textbooks offered
before adopting any, is peculiar to
say the least.
The growing tendency among pub
lie officials holding places of trust to
make them likewise of profit, prompts
the enquiry, "Was there any dough
in it?'' We regret to see Supt.
Calhoun wax so wrathy over the
resignation Of the hasty members.

Oil The Main Topic.

Lafayette, La, May 9.-Oil con-
tinues to>be the main topic of onyer
sation, and many'important deals in
lands are reported daily. The local
business men appear determined to
make a through investigation of the
oil district and reap whatever benefits
may result.
To-day Harry burke, a prominent
citizen of this place, reported to the
Picayune correspondent that he had
found considerable oil on the old
Remick place, some thirteen miles
below Lafayette, on the Vermillon
river. The oil comes to the surface
of the water and when a match is
applied blazes up about 2 feet high.
The plantation in question was bought
a short while ago by Messps. Harry
burke, f. Demanade and Sheriff
Ike Broussard. Mr.. burke vouches
for the correctness of the statement
as to the blazing, but does not I'M
derstand the nature of the combusti-
BILE substance. The water is covered
with an oily-looking substance all
about the locality.

A N~,beworthy Combination.

The consolidation of The Chicago
Record and The Chicago Times
Herald was one of the most important
events in the history OF modern
metropolitan journalism. People
familiar with the newspapers publish
ed in the great capitals Of the world
say that the best daily papers are
made in Chicago, and it is well
known that The Chicago Record and
The Chicago Tires-Herald ranked at
the very front among Chicago's best
dailieS. Each covered the worlds
news thoroughly every day, and each
possessed also distinctive special
features giving it that individuality
SO attractive to its readers. Now
that the two have been combined, all
the resources and worldwide facili-
ties of both papers r united in The
Chicago Record-He rald 1t is in
truth "a great com oination'-a com
bination without parallel in American
journalism. The fortunate readers of
The Chicago Record and The Chica-
go Times Herald now receive every
day a newspaper whose news facilities
are unequaled by any other American
newspaper.

To Further the Rice Industry.

Secretary Wilson, of the u. ). De-
partment Of Agriculture, has decloed
to send out an expert to scour the rice
growing countries of the worlc ana
thoroughly in Investigate matters on
nected with the industry. This mis-
sion, which is to stretch into the civil
lied and uncivilized parts OF the
world, probably will be entrusted TO
Prof. Knapp,of Louisiana, who returned
about a year ago from an official trip OF
investigation in the Orient. The start
will be made about next July. 1t IS
proposed to hunt out the rice growing
countries. ascertain what they feed TO
their beef animals and the work teams,
what rice can be grown on high land
that cannot be irrigated, what le9umes
can be used for forage for animals used
in the rice industry and a host OF other
kindred questions. Great success III
rice growing is reported in the rice
fields along the Gulf Coast of Louisi-
ana and Texas, and Secretary Wilson
predicts that a year hence will witness
production IN the United States of all
the rice required within the country.
The rice consumption per capita will
increase very materially.
The Quilted States is now exporting
red rice, and other second-class rice,
which makes excellent food, to Porto
Rico. There is a good market for il
there, although the second class rice
heretofore had been fed TO animals CT
sold to brewers. Secretary Wilson
believes that the future will ind this
country in the first rank of rice grow
ing countries and the coming mission
to the East with a view to gathering
INFORMATION on the whole subject is ex-
pected to bring good results Planter
