A Long Walk.

According to the New Iberia
Daily Leader, Joe Jenaro, A. Vuil-
lemot, Chas. VIdrine, and Willie
Bentha1, five Iberia boys, started
from New Orleans June 15 to walk
to San Francisco, CAL, a distance
Of 2486 miles, for wager of one
thousand dollars which is being
offered by California sports to any
one who will make the trip in seven
weeks. Anyone winning this wa
ger, r,it can be seen, must walk nearly
fifty-two miles each day; and ifone
of these boys succeed in doing this
he will have accomplished feat to
be proud OF, for 1t will require an
amount OF endurance possessed by
but few. The young men seem
very enthusiastic and anxious to
start on their long journey, and ex-
press themselves as confident OF
winning the thousand dollars.

Rice viii Go Too High.

"a crop of not to exceed $500, 900

cent rice Is a practical certainty =
says s. Locke Breaux, of New
Orleans, one OF the leading rice
commission. men the business.
Mr.. Breaux is spending few
days In Southwest Louisiana study
ing conditions and attending to
business matters connected with
his rice trade. 81 do not regard
the sharp advance in rice as an un-
mixed blessing by any MEANS =
continued Mr.. Breaux. "What the
rice industry needs most is expan-
sion of market, and the low prices
that have prevailed during the past
year and half have done more to
increase consumption that any
thing else could do. The outlook
now is that by reason of the short
supply rice will go too high and
consumption will fall off accord-
ingly. We are in danger of losing
much Of the ground we have gained
in the way Of increased consnmp-
tion during the past two years

A Cure For Smallpox.

Dr. J.. y. McElree, secretary oi
Missouri State Board of Health
gives the following receipt fol
smallpox:
Here is the receipt as I have
used 1t to cure smallpox. Sulp-
hate Of zinc, one grain; digitalis,
one grain; sugar, one-half teaspoon
ful. Dissolve in Wineglass OF
soft water which has been boiled
and cooled. Take teaspoonful
every hour. Either small pox or
scarlet fever will disappear in 10
hours. For children the dose must
be diminished according to age.
Ifeommunities would compel their
physicians to use this treatment
there would be no need OF pest
houses. If you value your life use

other hand, has stimulated plant
ing operations and this will have a
tendency to keep the market within
bounds.
ssThe farmers of this section are
working hard to get in q crop, but
the planting conditions have been
parsistently adverse all the spring.
Excessive rains have been followed
by dry spells which have made
planting difficult. Just now this
section is in need of showers. If
they do not come soon planting
will be seriously retarded again
within few days.
"My information is that the en-
tire rice belt as a whole is in about
the same condition. The Crowley.
conditions are about average.
Some sections ofTexas have more
planted than Southwest Louisiana
while other sections have less. It
seems to be the generally accepted
opinion that about one-third OF last
years acreage has been planted in
the whole belt, with about four
weeks more left.
"One of the most encouraging
features of the situation is that
this crop is being put in cheapiy.
The average rice belt farmer has
learned to support himself from
the products of his farm outside
of rice and will not feel adverse
rice conditions that may occur as
much as others engaged in the in-
dustry.n-Sfgnal.

"It has been stated that John w.
Gates has something large in inter-

time,n said w. w. Duson to a States
reporter. "such rumors have been
given considerable space in the
newspapers. However this is all
a mistake.sGates became disgusted
with the rice people when last fall
he offered to build sufficient ware
house capacity to hold all the rice
the planters raised until the prices
should be right, t,making very libe-
raj offer to that end from busi-
ness standpoint. The rice farmers
refused to benefit by his offer and
Gates took his hands off the rice
business and has left the farmers
to work out their own salvation" !"
