ANOTHER CUP FOR BILLINGS

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Sept 3.-What
was probably the greatest matinee ever
witnessed on any track was finished
yesterday afternoon. when the fourth an
nual intercity races were completed
Besides the intense interest that was
taken In the sport. two worlds records
were established, when Lou Dillon. on
Tuesday. lowered the wagon record 10
2:0412. and yesterday The Monk and
Equity went the two fastest miles ever
trotted by team, by negotiating the
distance twice IN PIPE.
The Monk Breaks
This was accomplished in an effort to
break the worlds record of 2:12A. and 1t
looked as though 1t would be done on
the first trial. when the ree-quarters
was reached in 1861. At the seventh
furlong The Monk broke badly, but he
was seon brought down to a trot and the
mile was finished in 2:121a, within one
quarter of a second of the worlds
record
II was announced that they would
make another trial and during the in
termission Mr.. Billings purchased
Equity from A. E. Perrin, OF Syracuse.
for a reported price OF $4,000 They
came out a few minutes later and went
a mile in 2:121z. finishing the last quar-
ter in 81 seconds.
The intercity matinee proved to be a
regular Billings event, the latter not
only winning the Cleveland challenge
cup. but also the pacing cup with Babe
Allerton IN bruising two-heat race.
While the time OF The Monk and
Equity has been beaten in single heats,
IL is a worlds record for two consecu-
tive heats. On September %. 1892, at
Providence, Belle Hamlin and Honest
George trotted mile in 2:1214. Boral-

PNEUMATIC HEAD HARNESS

The equipment of a Rugby football
player for the coming season will not
differ materially from that OF last year

1t has been believed that many OF the
injuries received in football were due to
the use of heavy protecting armor. par

grown so hard and unyielding as to give
plenty of cause for this supposition.
The rules committee. therefore, passed

MRS. CATHERINE r. FIELDS.

On the 18th day Of the prea-nt
month, Mrs. Catherine F. rim
berry Fields, an old reside, OF
st. Mary, and most cstlmab!c
and cultured lady closed her long,
useful and beautiful life here,
while her gentle spirit passed
trustfullT into the mysteries OF
that better life beyond the grave
which our faith teaches US awaits
the coming of the pure and good.
Mrs. Fields was born at New
Haven, Connccticutt, on the 9th
day OF January, y. d.. 1922. She
was a member Of the Kim berly
family so we'll known in that State,
a niece of Honorable Dennis Kim
berly, statesman and a patriot
who figured prominently and 10y
ally in the affairs of Connecticut
during the first half Of the last
century. She was the wife and
widow of Mr.. Alexander l.. Fields.
an honored citizen of st. Mary for
many years, who assisted materi-
ally in making the history Of our
parish. and was potent factor,
during its early days, in laying
the foundation OF its present
worth and prosperity.
When death overlook our la
mented friend she had passed far
beyond the allotted age OF Script
ure, but through all these years
the beauty Of her character never
grew dim; and it shown as sweet
ly in the mellow glow OF its set
ting sun as it did in the morning
light OF its youthful promise and
vigor.
For more than half a century
she lived and performed her life
work among our people, and ner
influence for good is attested by
the love and sorrow of the many
friends she has left behind.
She had known much OF human
| sorrow and human suffering; she
always evinced the tenderest SYM

which fill the tuil measure OF
Christian womanhood, should not
be unrecorded. Its influence can
not END with death; but it will live
in making others purer and better
by the beauty oi the example it
affords.

Some astute gentleman of an in
ventive turn of mind in Minnesota
is entitled to the thanks of every
father and mother in the country.
This gentleman has invented moth
ing less than a spanking machine.
Now, at first glance, this may
seem somewhat amusing to the
average reader, but little careful
thought will demonstrate the prac-
teal advantage of this new device
for curbing the mischievousness
Of unruly children. Since the
days of Adam and Eve we have
been accustomed to punish child
rem by turning them over the knee
and administering slipper or
single. Now the proper modus
opcrandi is to place them on
long board, tying their hands and
feet, and applying the rod to the
interesting part OF their anatomy.
This device is in operation in one
Of the Minnesota training schools,
and IL said to be having q whole
some effect on the incorrigibles.

Deatf Of Capt. John N. Pharr.

Capt. JON N. Pharr, a promin-
mt citizen vi this parish and one
of the largest sugar planters in
Louisiana, died at his home, on
Fairview plantation, near Ber-
wick, last Saturday night, Nov.
21st, at 10 O'Clock, after a long i'll
ness, aged Is years. Capt. Pharr
for quite a length of time, had
been suffering from indigestion
and recently went to New Orleans
to be operated on. His condition
not improving he was taken back
home where he breathed his last,
surrounded by his family and
friends.
The late Mr.. Pharr was a native
Of North Carolina. He came to
this State when quite a young
man and was at one time steam
boat captain plying on the Mis-
sissippi river, later he engaged in
the lumber and sugar business
with much success. Capt. Pharr
at one time took a prominent part
in politics, being candidate for
Governor on the Republican ticket.
He was up to the time OF his
death engaged in church and char
table work, being a Methodist,
he built two churches Of that de-
nomination, one at Morgan City,
the other at Berwick. At the time Of
his death he was President Of the
Louisiana State Sunday School
Association.
Mr.. Pharr was known to be man
of kindly personality and chris
tan character, always ready to
give a helping hand to those who
were in need and his death is uni
versally mourned Besides a
widow he leaves three sons, John
A., Henry N. and Eugene A. Pharr.
The funeral ceremonies took
place at Pharr Chapel. in Morgan
City, on Monday morning, Nov
Dist, and is said to be one OF the
largest ever witnessed in that
town. The Masons, Of which the
deceased was a member, were In
attendance, also several other or
ganizatiors. Eloquent sermons
were delivered by several prom
inent ministers. The remains were
taken to New Iberia for burial.
The ceremonies at the grave were
performed by the Masonic Lodges
OF Morgan City and New Iberia.

Work is progressing rapidly on
the statue of General Robert E..
Lee which is to be erected in sta
tuary hall in the national capitol.
1t is gratifying to the public in
general to feel that the old preju-
dices growing out of the civil war
have been so fat removed as to
make it possible for & statue of
the great confederate general to
be placed along side of those of
the federal leaders. 1t is as it
should be. Robert E Lee was one
of the greatest generals America
has ever known and though he
fought for a lost cause his sterling
qualities are 80 well known he is
entitled to all the honor We can
give his memory.

The laws of Congress are or
ought to be inyiolable. The Dim
gley tariff law is a law of congress
and it ought to be steadfastly
maintained until another measure
is passed repeating or modifying
it. 1t embodies in toto the pet
slogan of high protection to home
in1us;r.es Of the G.. o. P. If sub
sequent reciprocity treaties with
countries competing with ours in
the nature of their produce is not
tantamount to free trade, viola
ton of the tariff law and a piece
OF rank political hypocrisy on the
part OF the present Republican adj
ministration, then we confess our
inability to define the meaning of
the word. 1t is plainly evident to
the most obture citizen to-day
that the cardinal plank of the
Republican party is a delusion
and a plain PIECE of buncombe,
subject to any modification for the
sake of political expediency.

The OUTPUT

The output is the Keynote to profit.
In deciding upon Il price ut which to
sell, a manufacturer, no matter what ar
ticle he has to offer, considers how many
he is likely 10 sell, and bases his charges
accordingly. 1t is quite reasonable. too
If Il tailor sells only two suits Of clothes
each week. his income must come from
the profits Of these two suits If he can
however, double or treble his output
without materially Increasing his work
ing expenses, he can naturally afford to
make the profit on each suit much less.
Again, this output decides the buying
power 1t is only necessary to state that
there have been manufactured and sold

to prove what the buying power Of this
great Company must be. The small
manufacturer who turns out only few
pianos each month will certainly have 10
pay more for the material in each piano
there is absolutely DO doubt about
this.
When you consider these facts and
put this truth along side of them. that
there are only three companies III the
United States who have made and sold
