Napoleon's, yet he said, on his dying

Sidney would not change the joy of
his last hour for "the empire Of the

FROM bne Lake Charles American.
AT yesterdays session of the police
jury, Editor T. e. Price, of the News,
created mild sensation by Offering
TODD the parish printing for one-half
the rate named by law. The police
jury's printing bill figures up in ex-
cess of $4,000 year, and the accept
ance of his offer would naturally have
involved reduction of 81 800 or so.
The parish fathers took some inter
est in the proposed economy and call
ed for legal advice. The district at
torney stated that while the jurors
would not be liable to prosecution for
saving that money to the people, the
intent of the trainers of the law was
that the printing should not be let out
by bid. The present parish printer
was represented by attorney and 9TH
ers, whose views were more radical
When they closed the police jury were
thoroughly convinced of the wicked
ness of a man who proposed to remit
part of his fees for the taxpayers
benefit and were even impressed with
the idea that Bro. Price was some
how trying to bride the taxpayers with
their own money
Mr.. Price was accordingly turned
down hard and will be henceforward
classed as another demagogue like
Vincent. Representative Steidly was
reelected parish printer with the right
to draw all the fees he can get.

approaching. Four pumping plants
have shut down; more must soon do
so. The danger lies in it's early in
vaSion, while the rice is tender.
All this calls for thoughtful inves-
tigation and thorough prevention in
the future. Our water resources are
ample if properly husbanded. Suit
able preparations for this will require
time and money and a fair inference
is that the rice industry will not be
expanded more rapidly than market

ging of 5OO-foot we'll on his rice
plantation just north of town. 1t is
thought by Mr.. Lahman and many
others that when the gravel strata is
reached the flow of water will be much
greater than that which comes from
sand, and as this will be the first real
deep we'll sunk in this vicinity the re-
suit will be awaited with much interest
by the farmers. Should the expert
ment prove successful, others will do
likewise.
