of the Fourth ward whose bill of
lumber we criticized because it
called for $40 per M, while tho
same lumber was reported sold by
j. j. Burdin e. Bro, for SIG. Got
somewhat ticklish about it and
said "They we're insignificant re-
marks of two politician kickers."
The remarks may have been in
significant, but they got nearly
two columns OF reading matter
from our friend Begnaud.
Mr.. Begnaud said 81 suppose if
[ had voted to award the Bogus
bid to Mr.. Bienvenu. everything
would have passed off quietly and
nothing would have been said"
Gentle reader here is the Bogus
bid of the Messenger:
IL will publish the proceedings
and other publications of the Po-
lice Jury and supply the job print
ing for one year for forty eigh,
dollars"
Is there anything bogus about
this bid? lie this not clear and
positive? But MIR. Begnaud says
this bid is bogus and by his vote
proclaimed the bid Of the Banner
bona ti,'e, genuine and the lowest.
Readers. pass judgment, here is
the Banners bid:
II tender this my application to
have the st. Martin Banner APP
pointed the official journal of the
Parish of st. Martin.
l will publish your regular
monthly proceedings, ordinances,
notices etc, free Of charge, aud
will do all your job work at cur
rent rates."
Can any one honestly call this
legal bid?
Can any one of good reasoning
say what the parish will have to
pay under such bid?
MIR. Begnaud says: II wish to
correct the Messenger when it
states that the Valleys bid was
given by wire and was not clear,
therefore was not considered. l

for having educated the wheat grow

Of their product. The Farmers union
to which I have already referred as
an organization with several million

Patten and his cohorts.

ton the farmers are asking. And
what is the answer? Organize and
withhold wheat from the market. And
that is precisely what the farm work
ers are now preparing TO do.
Throughout the west and southwest
hundreds OF elevators have been or
are being erected under the direction
OF the Farmers union for the purpose
OF storing their grain. Efforts are
also being made to limit the acreage
of wheat to make control more effec-
