store was right around the cor
ner, too. Altogether, around the
corner was as unlucky as lucky,
and Juniors took whatever came
with the best grace possible on
such short notice. There were
many other corners, too, that
recollections cling around: Pun
ishment corners, surprise corners,
work and study and play cor
ners, corners for dreaming and
corners for busting. Corners Of
lawns and lots were great places
for games of ball and marbles and
jumping ropes, and around such
corners many pretty and some
sad incidents happened. Not all
of the stories were pretty and
artless and full of childish fun;
some of them contained hint of
older things, for even the heed
less of Juniordom know that just
around the corner lies the land
of grown-ups. =

- What could be around the

my mind many time when l
was small. The corner was two
blocks away from our house, but
at that time it seemed to me a
mile. l wished that [ could have
a peep around the corner. [
fancied that many strange sights
could be seen there. [ imagined
that around the corner and all
the way up the street there were
boxes on each side and in them
I thought were candies, fruits,
and many other sweets. I thought
there were airships flying
around instead of cars, and
bears playing on the sidewalks
with the boys That on hot days
one could get ice cream, lemon
ade, cider and pop for nothing.
I also thought that along the
street there were little pools Of
running water, and here boy
could sail his little sailboats or,
boat, convenient pieces of wood.

thing for two reasons: 1t gave variety to
the stories, and kept delightful corners from
becoming monotonous and dreadful cor

own particular charms of corners, Juniors
found, was that one never could tell just

and if it was not good, as it sometimes

Deputy Sheriff S. Broussard, of
of Lafayette, was in Jennings this
morning and returned home with o
negro who was charged with stealing
twenty dollars.
1t seems that he and another negro
by the name of Moultrie were together
at Lafayette when this fellow left with
$40. The Sheriff gave Moultrie some
money for expenses and told him to
go and find the negro that had skip

WELSH OIL A PURE LUBRICANT.
Is Equal to That Sold on the Market
at Thirty Cents per Gallon.

Tuesday morning Hon. L. f. Robin
son sold to Seneter H. f. Drew, OF
Lake Charles, Il Barrels of the pro-
duction of the Welsh Oil and Deveop-
ment Co.'S Well, for lubricating pur-
poses for his three plants, one each
at Kinder, Iowa and Edgerly. This
purchase was made after thorough
test of the oil, and it was found to be
equal to any grade on the market
selling at thirty cents per gallon.
This oil is in the crude state and has
not been refined. 1t has all along
been commended that the Welsh Oil
vas of the purest quality and could
be used as a lubricating oil without
going through the usual process that
is necessary to prepare a lubricant
of other oils, and we confidently be-
lieve that it is only matter Of a
short time before the Welsh oil fields
will, not in production of quantity,
but in value, equal the other fields
Of Louisiana and Texas.
We believe, with oil experts, who
have given the Welsh field consider
able attention. that it is yet in its in
fancy and will in a very short time
rank as the riches field in the south
west. A pumper of 80 or 100 barrels
per day, in our opinion, of the Welsh
oil is OF more value than small
gusher in other fields where the salt
water and poor quality OF oil is
brought in. We do not think our
people, or these acquainted with the
Welsh field, have lost confidence
in it, but on the other hand. confidence
has been strengthened with each de
velopment, until it is SO strong nov

GORDON ORME on THE OUTLOOK
Expects Prices to Maintain High
Next Year,

Gordon S. Orme. of New Orleans,
who is generally recognized as one of
the best posted men engaged in rice,
out with lengthy review OF the rice
situation. Mr.. Orme thinks the Texas
acreage is twenty per cent, short and
the Louisiana acreage is forty-tve
per cent. short. H" figures $500, 600
as the maximum production under
favorable growing and harvesting
conditions and 1900, 900 as the proba-
BILE minimum in the event of bad
weather. Mr.. Orme draws the follow
ing conclusions from the conditions
as he sees them:
"As consequence, | look for a
strong market all of next season on a
basis of about SIC. for fancy heads
and &c. for choice Japans; and if we
have a bad growing season, of course,
prices will hold considerably higher
IMAM tnlS estimate.
1.-The price of rice today is just
about the general average cost Of pro-
duCtion; for argument, say, it would
correspond to wheat at SOC. per bushel
on the farm. If the wheat farmers
were faced with certain shortage for
the coming season, do you think that
they would be willing to part with
their wheat under such conditions at
about the cost of production? The
same quetion applies to rice.
If in November year ago, in the
face of q big crop, good Japans were
considered a speculation when they
reached point as low as 5-8c.. is
there any sense in arguing that with
a certain shortage in sight at present
they aye too high at &C.? This seems
to be the impression of many of my
correspondents.
| will add that with the exception O
the past sixteen months Japan rice:
are cheaper today than they have eyer
been in the history of the business
and this with an almost certain short
age in sight. Japan rices, of course
scored very heavy advance on {
percentage basis in comparison will
extremely low prices it sold for: at tn
same time it was not sellieg at owe
! half of the actual cost of production
= and, of course, such conditions coul'
not last long in any industry. Thos

Turned Round by the Sun,


A large granite ball, weighing two
tons, in a cemetery in Ohio is slowly
| turning on it's axis. During the last five
years the ball has turned 1871 inches.
| When the ball was placed in position an
| unpublished spot six inches in diameter
was left in the socket of the pedestal on
which it rested. A year ago it was no.
| ticed that the unpublished spot was turn
Ing upward on the south side Of the
| monument. The revolution of the huge
polished ball, which it would require a
derrick to lift, is supposed to be due to
the suns heating one side of it, the
south, and causing it to expand, while
the north side, which rests most in the
shade, does not expand to the same ex-
tent, and thus the ball gradually shifts
its position by turning.
