LOUISIANA Oranges Plentiful

The abundant orange crop in this
section has made Louisiana oranges
quite plentiful in this section of late,
several wagon loads of the same hav-
ing appeared On the streets here within
the past week. One of the incest lots
that we have seen were broubht in by
Mr.. More of Hayes. He had some
thing over four thousand oranges
which he had no difficulty in disposing
of at 5000 per hundred. He says that
from 81 trees he will gather about
$4,000 oranges. He has single trees
from which he will gather $4,000 worth
of oranges. This is crop that can
be raised to an advantage in this Sec
ton of the country, especially since
the development of the more hardy
varieties that are practically frost
proof,

A Lake Charles dispatch under date
of Nov. says:
a wire received today from Secre-
tary W. N. Curley of the State Board
of Equalization, in Baton Rouge, says
the board decided last night to stand
by the valuation it has fixed on the
property of the Union Sulphur Mines
company, in this parish; that is, that
the board raises the figures fixed by
Assessor Richard 6S per cent.
At the regular session of the Board
of Equalization in August, the assess
ment on all sulphur lands was fixed
at So, 900 per acre, and the valuation
of the other holdings was raised, max
ing the total increase about 6S per
cent. so far as this parish is con-
cerned, over the assessors figures.
The sulphur company owns 1900 acres
of land in the vicinity OF the mines,
and it was contended by the board
that this valuation of $4,000 per acre
covered all of it. Under this con-
struction the sulphur companY's total
assessment would be $40, $4,000
The sulphur company contended,
however, that under the rules estab-
lished by the board, they were liable
to valuation of $1,000 per acre on
only ITS acres of their holdings, as
that was all the land actually devoted
to sulphur mining. It was on this
contention that they based their suit,
filed last Saturday, to have their
assessment cut down. They claim 4,
OPS acres of their land should be taxed
simply as unoccupied. land, at SIS per
acre.
At yesterdays meeting the board so
modified it's ruling as to leave no
room for doubt as to it's meaning, and
places the sulphur company's assess
ment at the big figure. Sig

LOUISIANA RICE GROWERS ASSOCIATION
Will Meet at Welsh, Saturday Nov. %.
Large Delegations From Other
Parts Expected

Parts Expected
The Louisiana Rice Growers
Association will hold an important
meeting in Welsh Saturday November
rs, at which important matters will be
discussed and plans for further
organization and a closer co-opera-
ton will be considered. The or
ganization although still in its infancy
has created a good deal of a sensation
in the rice circles. The organization
of the association has been discussed
editorially by many of the leading
papers of the Rice Belt, and is
universally spoken of favorable.
The movement has encouraged the
farmers through the rice district to
hold their rice until such time as the
price will warrant them in selling it.
And so universally are they doing
this that the rice market is already
perceptably strengthened, further CO.
ordination of the growers of this
cereal will. it is believed, place it
where it belongs in the markets of the
country.
A cordial invitation is extended to
rice planters through the state to
meet here with the association mex,
Saturday, and by their presence and
council help this great movement
along in the consumation of that ir
which every planter is vitality interest
ed, the protection of our industry
from malicious attacks of its enemies

Same Old Price for sparrows

Rev. Simon Turpie was an eloquent
speaker, but he seemed to have a list
of sermons which, when he once began.
he went right through TO the end. and
then started at the first sermon again,
and so on.
A young man in the congregation was
about TO leave for South Africa. but the
Sunday before he departed he attended
the church service
In the course Of his lecture the min
lister used an illustration in which were
the words: "A man can easily purchase
two sparrows for pence"
The young man, after being absent
Tor about three years, returned and
again on the first opportunity attended
divine service. Strange to say, he heard
the same narrative by the same min
ister, the phrase striking him most being
about the two sparrows for pence
At the close of the service The minis
ter, in his courtesy, came and shook
hands with the youth, and, welcoming
him back TO his home, asked him if he
noticed any changes about the place.
The young man, evidently qui:e I'm
concerned. replied in pawky tone.
Aye, man, there's two or three changes
but there's yin thing can see, the price
o sparrows is aye at the same audi fc-
