the family has to hustle for itself for
something 10 eat.
Now that the people have general
ly got into the habit of eating rice
they will not relinquish it because the
price goes up couple of cents. The
consumption may fall off some, for the
reason that retail prices will rise more
in propotion than the first price does.
Wholesalers will fear greater fuctua-
tons in values and they will hesitate
to take the larger risk of loss. This
will cut down our advertising some,
because rice may not be used so gen.
orally as leader. In any event the
low prices have got people into the
rice habit, and I believe they will
stick to 1t.
"This incident OF low prices and the
increase OF consumption following
them has convinced me that we need
not fear that production will ever ex'
coed consumption for any length OF

GUARD AGAINST RICE MAGGOTS.
Rice Farmers Should Watch Their
Crops Carefully.

Capt. J. P. Slattery of the National
Department of Agriculture, who is in
charge of the rice division Of this
work, under DR.. S. A. Knapp is in
town to-day and was interviewed on
the condition of the rice crop says the
Lake Charles American of last Tues
day:
He stated that the caterpillar has
made its appearance in many sections
of Louisiana and Texas, but the dam
age from this insect amounts TO little
also the maggot or worm has appear
ed in many sections.
This is @ more dangerous pest anc
its presence indicates that the farmer
has failed TO drain his land.
"The farmer who also put choice
rice on the market this season. says
Capt. Slattery, Twill be we'll repaic
for his efforts. Every precautlor
should be taken to care for this crop
for although the crop is reduced muci
in acreage, it will probably yield al
good return financially RS the large
crop of last year."

ID. p. EVANS DEAD
Wheelbarr0w PuSher Shot at Vicks
burg, Miss.

D. P. Evans, the man who started
to walk around the United States, a
distance Of 10000 miles pushing a
wheelbarrow in payment of an cleo.
ton wager and who passed through
Jennings several weeks ago on his
long journey, accidentally shot and
killed himself at Vicksburg, Miss,
Wednesday morning.
Evans will be remembered by many
in Jennings who saw him during his
short stay here. He was accompani-
ed by his faithful dog, king Ed
ward" and carried his provisions and
clothes in the wheelbarrow which he
pushed before him.
When he died this week he had
completed $500 miles of the 10000
mile trip, and had until January to
finish the remaining 400 miles.
A message from Vicksburg states
that Evans arrived in that city last
Saturday and remained there until
Wednesday morning at & O'Clock,
when he started for Jackson. Miss,
expecting to reach there Thursday
evening or Friday morning. He pas.
sed the residence of John Hayes
about 10 o'clock Wednesday morning,
and in few moments the report OF
q gun was heard, and the unfortunate
man came running into the yard and
up to the portico where some ladies
were, screaming that he had shot
himself, at the same time falling on
the floor. 1t appears that after pass
ing the residence and ascending the
hill road a II caliber pistol, which
was in the wheelbarrow, fell to the
ground and exploded, the ball enter
ing the lower part of the abdomen
and ranging upward through thu
bowels and stomach. He was placed
in the Vicksburg infrmary and dice
at 2:3O o'clock in the afternoon. Hi!
dying request was that his brother
Ward Evans of Buena Vista, KY.
and Miss Bessie Smith of Los Ange

DevOured by Wild Dogs.

A special from Eunlce says: Mea-
gre details have reached here of the
frightful end Of Brown Prefere, an
old recluse, who lived alone on Mamou
Prairie, near Point Berwick. A visi-
tor to Prefere's home discovered bones
and bits of the body of the recluse
scattered over the floor. 1t is believed
that the old man died unattended a
week or more ago and that wild dogs
attacked the remains. Two of his
three goats, locked in pen, were
found dead, presumably from serva-
ton. Prefere is said to have been
wealthy. It is stated that bag OF
money was found concealed in the
house. The remains were Inferred in
the graveyard near the old mans
home.

THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE.
Or the Home Merchant, Which DO
You PatrOniZe!

This is one of the trade problems
that confront us today, and one too
that should not be carelessly passed
on, but one that demands careful con.
sideration and thorough investiga-
ton.
The mail order houses are not eS-
tablished through any humanitarian
interest, but to sell goods for profit
and to make money for their owners,
so if any have the idea that they are
working for the good of the public
they are badly mistaken.
They have their headquarters in
large cities: where, as matter OF fact
every expense of conducting business
is the highest. They pay big rents,
high rates of insurance, high taxes
and big salaries to employees. 1t
costs more to live in city than in a
small place and those employed in
large cities must earn big wages and
those engaged in business must make
large profits. Besides these expenses
we must take into consideration the
enormous cost of sending out the
large catalogues and other expensive
advertising that these and all city
houses resort to.
All this must be made up in the sale
over and above the cost of goods.
And who pays this but the honest,
though deluded patron of the mail
order house? They often quote some
cheap prices, yes, that is their game.
They remember that Il. P. Barnum
said: THE American people must be
humbugged" and that is the way they
go at it. They know that the majority
of the people are looking for "some'
thing for nothing" and they send out
big picture book catalogue quoting
cheap prices on some things, but look
out, they get you on others.
Then even on those articles that are
quoted at cheap price you pay a big
profit. They are not there to lose
money for your benefit, SO they catch
you on that point by giving you CHEAP
goods. They are shrewd and are
fixed for you.
The mail order houses send to the
factories and buy up all the SECOND
and third grade goods and inferior
products of the mills that the homes

,,u,e rice has been so cheap that the

and in window displays. Rice has
been so cheap that for months 1t was
practically impossible for the distrib-
utor to lose money on it, and many
houses bought by the carload instead
tiby the single pocket as before.
THE popular fallacy down South
lsthst the Northern people do not
know how to cook rice, and the small
assumption is attributed to this al
lsged fact. My observation is that
lice Is cooked as we'll in Chicago as it
klnNeT Orleans. In fact, the average
Chicago restaurant serves it better
