Secretary Mouton of the Progressive

Local Express Agent.
WHO REFERS IT TO sUPT. HYDE
FOR ACTION.
Route Auent Sent to Discuss Matter
Decides No Advantage in Making
Change. -.

Secretary F. V. MOutOn OF the Pro-
gressive League several weeks ago
took up the matter of a down town
express office by addressing a letter
to the local agent on that subject. The
letter was forwarded to Supt. JsO. A.
Hyde in New Orleans, who replied to
Secretary Mouton stating that he saw
no advantage in removing the OH1ee
from the depot but that on the con-
trary it's present location facilitated
the handling of the express matter;
however, he would have Route Agent
w. H. Strong call on him and discuss
the subject. Last week Mr. Strong
arrived and called on Secretary Mou-
ton, but he, too. couldn't see any ad-
vantage in a change, and so for the
present a down town office has no
chance of being established.

ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY.
Two Persons Suspected Of Robbing
iota Post Office Brought Here and
Placed in Jail.

Sheriff FOntenot of Arcadia and
District Attorney RObira in charge of
two white white men charged with
completely in the lola post office rob-
berry last Saturday night, arrived ear
ly Tuesday morning and lodged both
prisoners in Jail The men imprisOn-
ed are Amos BENT and Theogene LIE
Boeuf of Trilby, and were apprehend-
ed with number of others said to be
implicated in the crime. On Satur-
day night the post Office at Iota was
entered, the safe forced open and
about $500 in cash stolen. No stamps
were taken but the thieves took a
lot of papers and letters they suppos-
ed to be valuable and scattered them
along the railroad track.
Sheriff Fontenot upon discovering
the crime next morning wired Sheriff
Lacoste for his pair of blood hounds
to trail the bold and successful rob-
bers. Sunday afternoon Deputy La
tiolais reached the scene with the
dogs and they Immediately struck the
scene following it for some nine
miles along the Eunice railroad
branch toward Trilby. All along the
route the officers found postoffice pa
pers showing the trail of the Grim
nails. LeBoeuf and Benoit were
both found at home and placed
under arrest. While there seems yet
to be no positive evidence against the
several men confined in Jail, Sheriff
Fontenot and his deputies are striving
hard on the case and hope soon to get
something tangible in the way of
proof So far none of the money has
been recovered, nor can the officers
obtain the least clew as to it's disposi-
ton. Benoit and LeBoeuf are still
held here.

MARKETS FOR
GAME CLOSED.
The Sale Of All Game Birds Prohib-
tied from March 1.-laW on the
Subject.

The game season closed March l,
so far as the markets are concerned,
and purchases by the public One can
kill game now, but they will not be
allowd to sell or ship same from the
state.
This law applies to quail. doves,
squirrels, rabbits, wild turkeys, ducks
and all other kinds of wild game. The
season will be closed from March 1,
to September l. 1t is unlawful for
any person to have in his possession
any game bird protected. The sec
tions of the game and fish act govern
ing this subject are as follows:
"Re it further enacted, etc, that it
shall be unlawful for any person to
sell, offer for sale or have in his pos
session for sale any game bird pro-
tected under the provisions of thit
act, after the first day Of March of
any year and until the opening dates
OF the fall season, as well as during
the closed seasons noted herein.
BE it further enacted, etc, that
shall be unlawful for any person, firm
Or corporation, their agents, officers
or employees, to SELL exchange, expose
offer for sale or exchange or have in
their possession either for himself or

ed in this act during the enclosed
seasons named hereini, irrespective
of the time when or place where such
birds were killd or captured

shall be unlawful for any person, or
any corporation acting as lawful car
rier, it's officers, agents or servants,

act whether dead or alive"

Texas And yet the decline in cotton
production from 1904 to 1905 was 32
per cent. in Arkansas, 33 percent. in
Mississippi, So percent in Louisiana,
and only 20 where the boil weevil pre-
vailed the most, in the state of Tex
as. 1t is possible for parties to take
a few counties and prove almost any
thing by statistics, but if great body
of contiguous counties be taken it
will be found that in studying the
history of this crop in Texas that it is
not true that the cotton industry has
not suffered any more in the timber
or wetter sections of Eastern Texas
than in the dryer cotton producing
counties, if we exclude the counties
where there are no weevils. It is not
true that the maintenance Of the
large product of cotton in Texas in
the last few years is due to the ex-
tension of cotton into the portions
where there is no weevil or where the
weevil does very little damage. The
eastern and central portions of the
State for many years are still produc
ing more cotton than ever upon an
average, and the yield of cotton per
acre in Texas in the last five years,
when the boil weevil has covered a
large portion of the state, has increas-
ed by number of points over the
average yield for the preceding five
years when only about One-half of
the cotton area of the State was cov-
cred by the weevil.
1t is my firm belief that the most
important work to be done in all
communities where the weevil has
lately invaded, or is liable to invade,
section, is to maintain confidence
it is quite likely that it is better to
reduce the crop little and raise more
home supplies; this would have been
good advice ten years ago. 1t is al
SO important that better variety of
cotton, more prolific and of early ma
turity should be planted. The peo-
pie should make an effort to raise all
home supplies and avoid advances as
much as possible. The people should
hold meetings to this effect and en-
courage each other in good work.
The most disatrous thing that
should occur is for the people to at
tempt, in the midst of this panic, to
| abandon cotton ENTIRELY and re-
sort to other crops and industries. A
civilization cannot be changed so sud
denly without tremendous loss, loss,
in my Judgment, entirely unnecessa-
ry. Wherever our demonstration
work has been given a fair trial and
the people hav co-operated with our
| agents, we have been able to make
good and, by your help, we propose to
make good in the states Of Arkansas
Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Respectfully,
s. A. KNAPP.

DEMONSTRATION FARM.
Letter from U. S. Agent Perrin Tell.
ing of What is Being Done at
Farm.

To the Advertiser:
visited the Demonstration Farm
near the Industrial Institute Wednes-
day and found work progressing fair
ly.
We had to suspend work on i'm
provements to prevent being late for
planting, but same will be resumed
very soon. This season we hope to
be able to call the attention of all in
terested to the growing crop, and also
we will give a report of final re-
suits.
Agent Thibodeaux has four hot
beds where he is nursing the young
plants for early setting out, and per-
haps some farmers or truck growers
would like to look at something prac-
tical and inexpensive; if so they
should visit the Farm.
We wish that the farmers would not
forget that we are trying to reach the
one hundred bushel mark in corn to
one acre, and that we hope many OF
them will try to beat us. l have had
several letters of inquiry as to the va
riety to be planted and what process
was to be followed; and l have fur
nished all information gladly and will
still give more information to all who
attend the Farmers Club. meeting
which will take place at the Industrial
School, Saturday, March 13, at 2 p
m.

Student HumOr.

when student does not know
the answer to an examination ques-
ton he does one of three things"
said University of Pennsylvania
professor recently. eff he is good
student he will simply leave a blank
space, while if he is not he will either
try to bluff it through or else pass it
off as a joke. These latter cases are
rare, and the result is generally pain
full and does harm to the student who
wrote the paper. Occasionally, how
ever, there will be a real gem, which
does the student good by putting the
professor in good humur and so
making him unconsciously mark the
paper less severely. l came across
two such gems in one paper recently.
One question was: ''Who was St.
Bruno?" To which the student re-
piled: "St. Bruno was great Dane,
a brother Of ST. Bernard. The 9TH
er question was: "What was the diff
ference between the major prophets
and the minor prophets?" Here he
answered: 1T would not be right
for me, a sinner, TO make invidious
comparisons between such holy
men. philadelphia Record.
