The Police Jury had q special
session Monday to adopt the Pa
rish budget of expenses, and also
to pass upon the applications of
those who have applied for liquor
licenses for the coming year. The
Police Jury has, with some hesita-
ton, decided not to issue the H.
quor license until the same is paid
in Cash, on the first day of Janu-
airy. 1t appears that the accom-
modating Police Jury, or at least,
some of its members were willing
to accept bonds from those apply
ing for licenses and make such
licenses payable on March 1st.,
and this, against the opinion of
the District Attorney who had ad.
vised them that they had no legal
right to accept bond, to guaranty
the payment of licenses. The IL
censes must be paid before open
ing, or they will be prosecuted for
selling liquor without a license.

PEANUT FOR OIL.

The Journal hopes the farmers
of DeSOto will investigate the
market value of the peanut for oil
purposes in order to make a COM
parison between that crop and cot
ton as money producers. The
Shreveport oil mills have already
given assurance that they will put
in machinery for grinding peanuts
in time for next years crop, if the
farmer will raise the nuts. This
a number of planters on Red Ri
YER have agreed to do. There is q
steady demand for peanut oil and
the mill owners say they can grind
the nuts with little additional ma
chinery. The crop can be raised
more easily than cotton. therefore
if nearby market can be found
for it on a large scale, it may
prove to be worth trying for the
sake of diversification. -Mans6eld
