HEAD SOLID SORE
Suffering Of Baby and
SIeeplesS Nights Of
Mother.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar
to Recall Awful Sore
Writes Mother.

"I herewith write out II full the be-
ginning and end of that terrible disease
eczema" says Mrs. VIM. Ryer, Elk
River, Mimi, (which caused my babe
untold suffering and myself many
sleepless nights. My babe was born
seemingly a fair, healthy child, but
when she was three weeks old swell
ing appeared on the back of her head,
and in course of time broke. 1t did
not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size of. a dime to that
of dollar. 1 used all kinds of RENE
dies that could think of, but nothing
seemed to help; in fact, it grew worse.
Her hair fell cut where the sore was,
and feared it would never grow again.
1t continued until my aged father came
on visit, and when he saw the baby
he told me to get Cuticura Soap and
Ointment right away.
"To please him did so, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has nice head of hair, her
skin is as fair as a lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
it is over eight months aud no sign OF
Its returning"

THE RICE SITUATION IN BELT.
Pr0tractcd DrOuth Has Hurt Late
Planting In This Section.

The Crowley Signal of lasl IA onda
says: Protracted drouth, reiieve
only by occasional showers, has pre-
vailed in the rice belt for seyera
weeks and rice farmers have begun II
be alarmed for the late planting. Be
tween June 10th, when most OF the
planting ended, and June 18th, q con
siderable amount of planting was
done, and during the rest of the month
scattered patches of rice will be pu1
in. Owing to the dry weather pre-
valent since the middle of May it is
not expected that this late planting
will amount to much.
Estimators now generally agree
that the net Louisiana acreage is
thirty to forty per cent short, while
that OF Texas is twenty per cent short
Between the Sabine river and Houston
nearly a full acreage has been plant
ed. Jefferson county has large
amount of new land planted and its
acreage is nearly If not quite up TO
that of 1904. FL Campo also has fully
as much rice planted as last year,
with a large acreage OF new land.
The Bay City acreage is reduced 20
at least forty per cent, while the Eagle
Lake reduction is not much less.
Around Victoria the reduction is stil2
greater. Anahuac has an increase
Texas has suffered as much from
drouth as Louisiana during the past
month. In both states fully fifty per
cent OF the planted acreage was put in
so late as to make it almost certain
that the yield will be short. The
drouth will have tendency to short
en- the yield on the late planting. In
some sections farmers are flooding
newly planted fields, the ground being
too dry to sprout the rice.
There is no complaint of lack of
water in any of the canals and no
fear is expressed as to the danger of
salt water. Rains nearer the head
waters of the rivers and bayous have
kept all the streams full.
The early planting is looking excep-
tionally well. Many fields are already
in boot and the average stand is good.
The largest acreage of volunteer rice
in recent years is now under irriga-
ton and this class of rice is doing
remarkably well.
The market is holding fairly steady,
although price has sagged a point
during the past week, the good prices
having turned loose considerable rice.
Nearly all the visible supply is now
held at New Orleans and Crowley.
New Orleans had on the first of June
3S7, 1000 bags, out of total Of trifie
over million in sight. Practically
all the rest was controlld in Crowley.
Two Crowley companies now hold
forty per cent of the visible supply.
The Crowley mills are still idle, with
the exception of those ct work brush
ingold goods.
] A brief but heavy rain Sunday was
of great value to the late planted rice
In Acadia. Local showers have fal.
len in all parts of Louisiana, but in
the vicinity OF Crowley it had been
several weeks since rain of any con-
sequence had fallen.
