CONDITION OF RICE CROP.
S4.5 This Year as Compared to 81. I
Last Year at Same Period,

The crop report issued by the bu-
reau of statistics of the United States
department of agriculture, showing
crop conditions on August !, has just
been received here, says the Crowley
Signal. The report shows the rice
crop condition of the entire United
States IS S4.5, as compared with 81.
on the same date last year and 80 as
the ten year average. The Louisiana
crop is IS as compared with.95 year
ago, and 81 the ten year state average
and Texas is SO as compared with "a
a year ago and SO a ten year state
average. Mississippi, Florida and
Arkansas also show. a slight falling
Off from the average of Il year ago,
while the other rice states have gener-
ally bettered the crop condition, The
conditions in the other states are as
follows: North Carolina, 80: South
Carolina, 81; Georgia, 30; Florida, 80;
Alabama, s.; Mississippi, 80; Arkan-
sas, 80.
These figures show quite a change
from those of the preceding month.
The July lst report gave the crop
report for the entir country, 90.,, a
trihe more than th& ten year average,
while the Louisiana crop was placed
at 81, one per cent more than the
states ten year average, and the Tex
as crop was placed OF 80, or just the
states ten year average. AS these
tive states produce siX-sevenths of the
rice grown in the United States, the
products of the other states is not
greatly figured in forecastlng prices.
With a lower production and a de-
crease, it is difficult for even the
most bearish manipulation to figure
out an oyerproduction this year

Parish Teachers Institute 10 Be Held

work came before the board, getting
things in shape for the beginning of
schools throughout the parish.
1t is planned to hold weeks insti-
tute at Jennings, similar TO that last
year, for the purpose of getting the
teachers in touch with the work and
each other. This institute will be held
the week preceding the opening of
the parish schools, beginning Mon
day September 6. The public schools
will open the following Monday, ex-
cept it be in few special instances.
1t is not defnately known who will
conduct the institute, but the teachers

RICE HARVESTING BEGINNING.
Fine Harvest Weather. Many Ma.
chimes Started.

The planters of this section are re.
joicing on account of the splendid har-
vest weather that has prevailed this
week. Following the rains of last
week the weather faired up and has
been ideal for harvesting, barring a
little to high temperature. The bright
sunshine combined with north and
westerly winds have dried up the mud
and water very rapidly, enabling
planters to get to their fields with
more comfort than they had antici-
pated. While tho rice is still trihe
green in many instances, still nearly
everybody that has Honduras rice
has started cutting, and several have
already finished cutting their early
rice.
In nearly every instance in which
we have heard an expression as to the
probable yield of the present crop,
planters say that their crop is not so
good as it was last year The gener-
al impression seems to ho that there
will be something like d ~ per cent
decrt ase in the WELD Of Honduras this
year as compared with that Of last,
taken acre for acre. While the Weld
at the present time is merely a matter
of surmise, it will not be more than
couple of weeks before threshing
machines start, if the weather contin-
ues favorable, when more accurate
estimate can be obtained.

that the community expects them to
make good" in enforcing the stat
utes placed in their hands by the suf-
frage of the people. The people of
Opelousas have q remedy for this dis
turbed condition, in their own hands
and we imagine they will use it. Com

to Begin at Once.

! The contract for building the Welsh
auditorium was let to Adolph a. See
OF Lake Charles, Tuesday afternoon.
A meeting of the building committee
composed of Messrs. L. E. Robinson,
chairman; W. B. Gabbert, A. T..

in the town hall Monday with Archi-
tect Mr.. Carter, of Lake Charles,
Messrs. Jno. Robinson and B. L.

werelas follows: Robinson and Graves,
IS, 693.40, Muller and Orgy, Lake
Charles, S6,950.00; Mr.. See, Lake
Charles, SIS, 10000.
The committee believing that it
would be necessary to reduce the cost
of the building to some extent, and
yet, not wishing to advertise for new
bids, asked the bidders to reconsider
their bidsand see if there was not some
place in which they could reduce their
bid. The meeting then adjourned un-
til $3.50 Tuesday
At the adjourned meeting, revised
bids were received from Messrs. Rob-
inson and Graves and Mr.. See. The
bid of the former was S., 429 and that
of the latter was S., 200. After lengthy
consideration of the bids by the COM
mittee, the chairman announced that,
although they very much desired to
keep the work at home. and had pre-
yiously agreed among themselves to
award the contract to home bidders
II they could come within 5000 of out
side bidders, yet as the difference was
even more than this amount, they de-
cided to award the contract to MIR.
Adolph See of Lake Charles.
Mr.. See says he will begin work on
the building at once, aud that he not
only expects to buy the lumber
through the Taught Lumber company
of this city, but he is also willing to
employ as many Wesh worimen as
possible.

THIRTEEN NO TERROR
FOR A PROUD MOTHER
renton Woman Refuses to Believe in Hoodoo and
Declines 5 $1,000 for Thirteenth Baby Born
on June Thirteenth.

TRENTON, n. J., June 4-when
Mrs. Edward Yates, of % Titus
avenue, gave birth to a daughter on
June Is she told her husband. who had
celebrated with her the arrival OF
twelve sons, that the thirteen" hoOdoo
had no terrors for her. She said also
that she wouldn't take $4,000 for the
new infant. The local newspapers re-
corded the coincidence of the birth of a
thirteenth child on the thirteenth of the
month the next day, but nobody thought
of it again until today. In the news
paper accounts Mrs. Yates statement
that she would not part from her new
est baby for $4,000 played prominent
part. Today the mother received the
following two letters:
Dear Friends: The enclosed clipping
has been floating about the State caus-
ing considerable amusement at our eX-
pense. The truth is you have thirteen
more children than we have. Certainly
your little girl has reached the climax
OF good luck. Born on the thirteenth
and thirteenth in family equal twenty
six which is said To be the king OF
lucky numbers. However, If you are at

visitor but send her to us. Mrs. Yates
maiden name is Mary Sharpe. We have
named your little daughter Mary Sharpe
Yates. Sincerely yours,
MR. AND MRS. EDWARD YATES.
'Pittsfleld, Ill, June 49,"
A postscript said: "Of course we will
pay $4,000 for the baby If you will
change your mind"
The second letter was postmarked
Omaha, and signed by John r. Yates.
The father of the little girl says the
Omaha Yates is a distant relation and
sovereign clerk of the Woodmen of the
World. The letter reads:
4 have read about the little stranger
that came to your homo on the 18th,
the newspaper saying that you had
twelve boys and one girl. She should
be made queen. We have no children
and cannot get any. My wife is willing

We hope to hear faVorably from you

AMERICAN MONEY
GOING TO CANADA
Capital Invested Over Bor-
! der Shown in Tariff
Discussion.

Since the tariff bill has been up, there
have been frequent references to the
amount of American capital which IS
going across the border into Canada
and establishing factories there. espe-
ciaIly branches of large concerns on
this side
Consul A q. Seyfert, reporting from
owen Sound, on American capital in
Canada, estimates that about S200, 000, 600
-ef such capital is in industrial plants.
He says the present Canadian tariff
has apparently been the cause Of many
American manufacturing establishments
having established branch industrial
concerns throughout the Dominion. In
~order TO hold their business they have
established annexes where they manu-
facture the articles they sell to Cana
dams IN Canada.
From the best information obtain
able" says Mr.. Seyfers. there are at
least $50 such American firms IN Can
ada, with a capital investment of s175.-
100000. Probably the largest plant is
that OF the International Harvester
Company. at Hamilton. which employs
1000 to 1000 men. The purpose in estab-
fishing this immense plant WAS not only
10 supply the Canadian farmer with
agricultural implements, but also 10
manufacture farm machinery for export
as Canadian goods have a customs re-
bate in South Africa and on some lines
IN Australia, while Canadian farm ma
Chlnely enters France at a lower tariff
rate than similar goods from the United
StEtes."
ar. Seyfert says most Of these Amer
lean anneXes are located IN Ontario.
among them being three large shoe fac
tories, financed entirely BY American
capital, which went TO Canada in the
last rev years. High-grade American
imported hrrf
the lower grades are made by America
factories In Canada
In the numbering business, saws Mr.
Seyferts there are enormous American
investments. When a tax was nut on
