Our Reward

MM THEN we have looked at the mhltitudinous samples
WV of Suits and Dresses presented to US for selection
by the vast tailoring houses of the country; wher
we have studied styles and made comparisons of quality anc
price until we are well-nigh driven to despair; when we have
finally decided on certain styles and selected the best from TIKI
lines that most appealed to us-it is tremendous satisfaction
measureless qualification, to hear women of acknowledged
taste, women of refinement, speak approvingly of the Gowns
Suits, Dresses, Goats and other apparel which we hav
gathered for them.
Believe lis when we tell you our task is no easy one
and that our chief pleasure lies in your approval of wha
we select.
Those who favored us with their presence yesterday ant
today seemed delighted with our exposition of the new
styles, which you may rest assured are truly Representative
of the most favored fashions.
There are so many novel creations here that it wouL
be a waste of space and time to undertake pen descriptions
for the best we might write of them would fall far shor
of giving you a right knowledge of the styles, colors, AM
especially of the way they are tailored.
Take the time to come to the store and enjoy looking
at the show.
Everybody is welcome.

SHIPPING RICE TO CUBA.

Looking After State Lands.

Baton Rouge.-Fred Grace, register
of the state land office, has returned to
the city from Washington, where he
went in the interest of the state lands.
Mr.. Grace was very successful as a re-
suit of his trip, and thinks that the
state has splendid chance to win the
Ferry Lake land case of Caddo parish.
where some valuable lands in Caddo
parish are being claimed by outside
parties. Mr.. Grace also looked into
the Sabine Island casa and is hopeful
of the state still being able to maintain
its title to these lands. There is NJ
question about Baton Rouge getting
the two federal land offices when they
are consolidated and the offices at New
Orleans and Natchitoches closed A
great majority of the Louisiana con-
gressmen favor Baton Rouge, and as
there seems to be no question about
the two offices being closed, it is evi.
dent that Baton Rouge will get tn,

ALL OVER LOUISIANA
REPORT ON CONDITIONS AT STATE
PENITENTIARY.
President Heard Gives Facts and Fig
ures Relative to Penal 1nsti-
tuition.

Baton Rouge.-The Louisiana state
penitentiary has had prosperous two
years, in spite of the boil weevil, &C.
cording to the report of the board OF
control, synopsis Of which has been
given out. In regard to the showing,
President Heard of tfhe board said:
Notwithstanding the ravages of the
boil weevil on Angola during the years
1908 and 1909, the board of control
has been fairly successful during the
biennial period covering these two
years. This destructive insect first ap-
peared in the fall of 1907, and the fol
lowing year only about half crop of
cotton was made. The cotton planted
in 1909 under normal conditions, would
have given us 1000 bales, but this be-
ing the third year Of their presence,
they appeared in such numbers that
not more than rs per cent of a cotton
crop was made, although we used
new and early variety Of seed, and
followed as closely as possible the cul-
tural method recommended by scien.
fists connected with he agricultural de-
partment lat Washington, and of our
own state, as well as applying other
remedies.
"Our sugar farms and levee forces
for these two years. yielded good re.
suits. Our total revenue from farms,
levee camps, etc, for the two calendar
years named was 1927 .120.55, as against
$736,222.04 for the two previous years.
There is an increase, therefore, over
the two preceding years of $9O,O04.5l
Our total expenditures covering these
two years were SO0,7SS,97,, Of which
$66,252.SS was for the payment and
retirement of notes representing the
purchase price of real estate, and $685.
St6.23 was expended out of this sum
for machinery, permanent buildings
additional mules, etc. Excepting the
amount of notes retired, and the ma
chinery, permanent buildings and ad-
ditional mules purchased the profits
were $40, 406.6O. 1t might be said
that the amount expended for machin-
cry, permanent buildings and addition,
al mules was part of the necessary
operating expenses of the system and
should not be deducted in arriving at
what was made during these two years,
but surely, the vendors notes, which
were retired, form no part of the op-
Grating or general expenses of the con-
Germ. Eliminating, therefore, only the
retirement of the notes, we have a net
profit covering these two years of $685..
6O046.

SEARCHES FOR MISSING GIRL.
Farmer Resident Of Monroe Fails to
Locate Daughter.

Monroe.-In a vain search for his
missing daughter, William Oliver, for
six years a police officer in Shreveport,

Okla, spent several days in Monroe last
week. The missing girl is 16 years

Shreveport and went to Oklahoma to
reside. The girl soon tired of life in q
country village and went to Foreman,
Ark, not far from her Oklahoma home,
to work in telephone exchange. Later,
1t is alleged, she eloped with a man
prominent in business, social and church
life, who has wife and children. The
man was registered at the Monroe hotel
here on February Is, three days afte,
the girl s disappearance from Fore.
man. If the girl came to Monroe she
was taken to another place. Oliver,
assisted by the local officers. followed
every clew, but the search in Monroe
was fruitless.
Oliver has covered large part Of
Arkansas, Oklahoma and East Texas
and North Louisiana in his search.

Paris may suffer, but 1t cannot be
permanently discouraged. The eve of
Lent found the gay French capital
overwhelmed by floods. and the usual
Mardi Gras festivities were cut out.
But that was several weeks ago, and
meanwhile the waters of the Seine
have subsidized, and Paris is itself
again. So the city has plunged into
the observances of Mi-Careme, or mid,
Lent, with more than the usual zest.
Evidently the Paris idea is that it is
better to meet misfortune with a
merry heart than with Responding
spirit.
