Era of Development Dawns.

Saturdays Lake Charles American:
Scott w. Clay, driller of oil wells, is
in Lake Charles from Welsh today on
o business mission. TO a local oil
enthusiast Mr.. Clay said:
81 predict that within the next three
months, wildcatting in search of oil
will be begun in Calcasieu on larger
scale than ever before. The appear
ance of salt water in the Batson field
marks the passage of the boom in that
locality, and oil men are looking for
new fields of promise, more especially
as the price of oil has gone up and is
likely to continue to rise. No place
in the United States promises more to
the prospector today than Calcasieu
parish. [ look for the beginning Of
operations in all directions.,'
| The Press said: Scott w. Clay, g
well known oil we'll driller, arrived
in the city this morning from Welsl
to spend a few hours and was seen b!
a Press reporter in regard to thu
Welsh field. Mr.. Clay stated tina
there was nothing of especial impor
lance in the field just now, that tn
most important happening in the pas
week was the bringing in yesterday O
the Mac Fadden well, which will yiel
day. Mr.. Clay is also the driller {
the Proven Oil Field Company's wei.
which was brought in as a gushe
ten days ago. He is now engaged a
driller for the Texas Oil Company.

Planters Practicing Diversiflcation

Crop diversification is matter OF
continued discussion among planters
in this immediate section and not only
is it being discussed, but it is actually
being carried out in a measure that
foretells the dawning of new era IN
the development of Southwest LOUISE
lana, and that at no distant date. In
addition to the small cotton and corn
fields at will dot this country the
coming summer as heretofore mention
ed, Paul w. Daniels informs the
JOURNAL that on his plant alone be-
tween 400 and 500 acres of oats have
been sown. This crop, Mr.. Daniels
claims, will be harvested in May, and
Immediately afterward the same LAND
will be planted in Mexican June corn
Although this is an experiment, Mr.
Daniels is confident the soil is such a:
to produce two abundant crops thi!
season. In the event of d good crol
there will have been a wonderful cur
tailment of expenses usually incurred
in buying feed.

as on other large plants and small
farms, have planted truck gardens l

Lieutenant Belcher, who assisted

Army meetings here early last year,
figured in sensational affair last
week, according to the following dis
match from Lawton, Okla, under da:e
of March 16:
The Salvation Army double we'd

opera house, One of the brides-to-be
has changed her mind. Until last
Saturday everything appeared to be
very harmonious, and Lieut.. Arthur
Belcher and Miss Vera Keeling were
happy in each others love, but on
that day they quarrelled. Belcher be-
came very much disheartened and left
the city to escape her presence and to
nurse his sorrow. Vera then, in com
pany with Capt. Lawrence of the army,
went to Oklahoma City, where they
found Belcher, heart kroken, and with
the earnest entreaties of the captain
and the tears and pleadings OF vera
he decided to return to Lawton.

crop will be saved by fresh water held
intact by the dam and locks across the
Mermentau river. The locks are a
success and will prove OF inestimable
value to the farming interests or
Southwest Louisiana.
e. d. Calkius: There is no question
in my mind that the locks are pro-
lection although incomplete, aud when
finished will assure US of fresh water
with anything like al ordinary rain
fall.
O. Fulton: The locks are, in my
! opinion. fully up to the expectations
| Of the promoters of the enterprise and
even in their present condition Will
hold back salt water and contiue the
frest. water in manner that it all
may be utilized for irrigation pur-
poses.
e. III. Boiling: When the locks are
closed / think rice farmers who are
dependent upon water from the Mer-
mentau and its tributaries will have
an absolute assurance of the crop as
far as the fresh water problem is con-
cerned. The locks are a great boon
to farmers in this section.
S. w. Day: The tide which has
! ALWAYS proven a menace to rice, is
uuence nothing but fresh water can be
, pumped into the rice fields. [ cannot
agree with those who claim this sea-
sons crop will not be benefited by

A Modern Antique.

a story which Mr.. Davenport told OF
Pistrucci has its point for collectors.
Pistrucci was an Italian and chief en-
graver at the mint. 1t is, by the way,
to him that England is indebted for the
fine group of st. George and the drag
on on the reverse of the sovereign. He
insisted that modern work in cameo
could be quite as fine as ancient work.
A 'potboiler" head of Flora which he
engraved ana sold to dealer for 60
was afterward sold as an antique to
Richard Payne knight for $500.
Knight took the cameo in triumph to
Pistrucci. where can you get modern
work like thatI" he asked Pistrucci
smiled ANA claimed the antique for his
own Knight would not believe him.
Examine the roses" said the artist,
land you will see that they are modern
flowers" The point was admitted by
others. but never by Knight who be-
queathed the gem and the rest of his
collection to the nation. Mr.. DaYen-
port said that but for the roses an eX-
pert would undoubtedly pronounce Pts
truccrs cameo a fine antique.-Man-

FOURTH OF JULY

We are soon to celebrate the great
est of our national holidays, the
birthday of our nation. Arrayed in all
the beauties Of the year the Fourth OF
July will soon visit us. Green fields
and ripenlng harvest proclaim it,,
bright sun cheers it and the hearts Of
freemen bid it welcome. From the
lisping babe in the cradle to the aged
warrior whose gray hairs are last
sinking in the western horizon of
life every voice Will on that day De
turned to the accents of Liberty,

Constitution is the purchase of Ameri-
can valor 1t is the rich prize that
rewards the toll of eight years of war
and blond. The Constitution is the
great memorial of the deeds Of our
ancestors On the pillar ana on the
arches of that dome their names are
written and their achievements re-
corded. While that lasts in will carry
down the record to future ages.
Great Britain had carried the fame
of her arms far and wide. She had
reached her arms across the Eastern
continent had humbled France and
Spain and given laws on the banks Of
the Ganges. A few scattered colOnists
did not rise up to contend with such
nation for mere renown. They had
nobler object, and in pursuit Of
that object they manifested a cour
age, constancy and union that de-
serves to be celebrated mot only by
every reader of the Home Circle Col
umn, but by every poet and historian
while language lasts. 1t is fitting as

gospel Of peace and the evil of war.
Better mothering would help to restore
this country that is Fastening away
from its first honored principles Our
Pilgrim mothers did not spend their
time in idle decoration of themselves
and their homes, but helped their
husbands to develop a new country
and establish homes on the rock of
solid worth. 1t is just as important
today for the wives to stand Loyalty
by their husbands, and elcUurage and
help them to earn ana save and
rise above the hindering things that
bring bankruptcy and disgrace in
their train. 1t has been said that
thousands of men would today be in
the poor house were it not for their
wives. And that other thousands
are there because of their wives.
Which horn Of this dilemma would
you choose! Will you train yourselves
into intelligent, managing capable
women, or will you choose those light
Ell accomplishments that add nothing
to your stature as a woman, aud win
no love that Will last when your
pilgrim here is oyerg There is no
kind of pleasure so enduring as that
we find in doing our duty.
