During the extremely dry weathe

During the extremely dry weather
too uuch precaution cannot be taken
in regard to fire. With the limited
means at hand for fighting fire, it has
always been practically impossible to
save a building when once it caught
fire in this place, but now, when wells
are all going dry, and but little water
remains in cisterns, there could be
but little hope of stopping a confa-
grafton, should it start, until it had
swept everything in its course. You
cannot be too careful in regard to
how you handle your fires.

One of the social events, which

One of the social events, which
should have appeared in our last
issue was that Of the birthday cele-
brations, of Miss lone Robinson and
Samuel and George Morth'and,
which took place ut the Morthland
home southwest of town, on Fri
day evening. A hay ride was en-
joyed by the young folks, the older
guests not arriving until later. Out
door games afforded much merri-
ment and delicious luncheon was
served on the lawn.
Jas. Ellis, of Jennings was q
business visitor in Welsh Tuesday.
In an interview reg riding the rice
situation at the present time. Mr..
Ellis said that there was great
deal more talk than actual fact
accout the salt water. He stated
that he and another gentleman
went down the Mermantau last
Thursday to investigate the salt
water, that they made repeated
tests and found no salt water in
the river above the lake and none
even in the lake itself until they
reached the extreme lower end
where they found the water slight
ly brackish. According to tide in
formation given MIR. Ellis by old
time residents along the lake it
will take from ndays totwo weeks
| for this brac kishness to cross the
lake. While Mr.. Ellis recognizes the
the danger to be feared from salt
water, he is of the opinion that
much of the damage reported at
the present time is due to the vivid
imaginations of the newspapers of
the rice belt region.

patronage by the business men of the
city. Poor old jennings. She certain
ly is to be pitied. Any town that is
so thoroughly dead that it will let its
best friend, a progressive newspaper,
starve to death for lack Of advertising
patronage, and still remains unburied,
is to be pitied. And yet Jennings en-
tectains the delucive hope that she is
the diYinely appointed capital of the
parish, to be, of Foster or Schneider

casieu shall be divided.

Petrol butter, the latest by-product
of petroleum, is to be a substitute for
the real product of the COW. 1t is
SAID to be of about the same consist
encI as is butter, but to have brown
colof. 1t is also said to be much
more enduring than butter. The real
question is not in regard to the en-.
durance OF the product, but of the
consumer of a petroleum butter.

Al the regular meeting of the police
jury for July, the parish printing was
awarded to the DeRidder Enterprise
messenger, which paper made the
lowest of the four bids submitted. We
wonder what has come oyer our police
jury that they should so far forget
themselves as to take the public pap
out of the mouths of the Lake Charles
papers upon so trivial a thing as that
of getting it done cheaper elsewhere.
They are certainly overriding all
presidents.

 In Justice Johnstone's court yesterday | W. A. Fulwiler was held to answer
 on two charges of forging his fathers ' signature to ten dollar checks Cor
 nelio Contreras was also held to an
 swer the charge of embeZzlement. On
 March goth his friend, Librada Gar cia, a sheep herder, came to town with a nice little roll of money and proceeded to get drunk. Fearing
 that he would spend his hard earned
 wages, Cornelio took $50 of his wealth
 to keep for him until he should get over the condition in which he need ed a guardian. Then Cornelio pro- ceeded to get drunk with Librado's
 money and when the latter recovered
 Consciousness he had Cornelio arrest

 with his life and with one hand al most burned off him and other burns scattered over his face and arms.

given the valley general looking over and is very favOrably impressed with the climate and soil resources and also with the stories of what has been done here and what there is every reason to believe may be done here in his particular line of activity. When one talks to him about how much cabbage. onions, tomatoes or asparagus can be raised on an acre he has to be shown for he knows just what can be done elsewhere.

 GONE TO NEW MExICO-L. C.

It will be as much bigger than the Salt River project as the Rio Grande is bigger than Salt, or as the Roosevelt reservoir is bigger than any other and will continue to be until the Elephant Butte project is completed. Then the Salt river project will have to take it's hat off to the New Mexico enterprise in point of size In other things the Salt river project will cept the men who built it. for it is contended that climatic and soil fea- lures can never be beaten and so far as now appears can never be equaled
