Pearl Millet Makes Growth OF Ten
Feet in Sixty Days Oh Louisiana
Soil.

A. G. Shipman, one of the we'll
known crop dipersi6ers of this sec
ton, brought sample of Pearl Mil
let into our Office last Saturday that
measured ten feet in height, and was
not fully developed, at that. The
heads of this millet average a foot in
length and are about the size of a
mans finger. This sample was cut
from some seed that Mr.. Shipman
had planted in his garden. on the .30th
day of May, and was therefore but
sixty days from the seed. Not only
the juice of the main stem, but of the
blades also, contain large amount
OF sacharine material, indicating a
high nutritiye value. 1t is claimed by
the department from which the seed
was obtained, that under favorable
conditions, this 'millet will make a
yield of ninety tons per acre, but il
we divide that yield by ten, it still
sleaves highly profitable forage crop,
which it will be worth the while of the

Welsh'S Oldest Citizen Passed AWAY

"Old Aunt Mary" who has long
held the distinction of being the old
est person in Welsh, passed away
Thursday morning at four O'Clock, at
her home, just east of her son, Jos.
Villiea's shop.
Mary McGuire was born in the north
of ireland about one hundred wears
ugo. After reaching womanhood she
crossed the water and arrived ia Gew
Orleans about the year 1886. She Let
er moved to New Iberia, where she
was married to Maurice Villien, from
which union her one son, our well
known townsman, Jos. Villien. was
born. About tsentY years ago she
came to Welsh and opened up little
grocery in the house in which she has
since lived and died.
For years Aunt Mary" has been a
familiar figure in Welsh, and many
axe the men and women now living
here, who have spent their pennies
with her in their childhood days, for
sweets and goodies of which she al.
wayG carried limited stock, and vet
always had enough for all.
While she had been quite feeble for
some time, yet she was up and about
until the day before she died. Her
death was not unexpected though, as
she told her son two days before she
died, that she would die wihhin two
days.

Lake Artl,ur Dlyisionists Visit Welsh.

A party Of Lake Arthur diViSionlsts,
composed of d.. V. y. Miller and
Messrs. st. German, {. d. Ronnln
and Peter Rimerus. came up WeuneS-
day for heart 10 heart talk with the
people of Welsh, on the subject OF
parish division.
About thirty of the representative
business men of Welsh. met with these
gentlemen in the city hall, where al
informal TWO hours meeting was held.
Dr.. Miller stated, in Il short speech,
his reasons for being a diyisionist,
which, in the main, pertaIned to m
convenience Of location as regards the
parish seat and lack Of ability on the
par, Of tn office holders. to properly
administer the business OF so large
parish. Following him, DR.. Cooper,
Of Welsh, at the request of DR.. Miller,
told why he was opposed to division.
Mr.. st. German continued the dis
cussi0n for the diyisonisls, covering
but little new ground. In a round
table that followed, DR.. Miller cited,
aSan instance Of the unfair treatment
that the eastern part Of the parish is
receiving at the hands of the present
parish authorities, The fact that, al
though the southeastern part Of the
parish had been suffering from seri-
Gus Charlton sCOurge, vet it was un-
able to get any relief, due supposedly
to the unsympathetic attitude OF Lake
Charles and piney woods members of
the police jury.
A division of the parish, it was
avered, would remedy such things as
this, as it was stated that the Jurors
from the affected community would
not be handicapped by members from
remote districts, where these condi-
tionS did not apply. This argument
was, however, countered by the fact
that Police Juror Conner, of ward 10,
the home of the visiting gentlemen,
and the hOtbed of the charbon and
parish division, not only failed to off.
er any measure looking toward the
relief Of his people, but actually OPP
posed the only measure that was off
cred.
AT the urgent requests of the visit
ors, Mr.. L. E. Robinson spoke for a
few minutes, showing clearly that par
ish division on present lines, meant
political subjugation of the entire pap
ish of JEFF Davis, to a single cOumun-
ity. Mr.. Robinson stated that he was
able to back up his assertions by &C.
tual aud authentic figures This
seemed to be an eve opener to the
| Lake Arthur gentlemen, who seemed
to have been convinced that Welsh
and Lake Arthur could successfully
combat Jennings in a battle of votes.
The meeting broke up with the ut
mast good will prevailing between all
parties present.

science will permit it, as the salary
for associate justice of the supreme

time, he draws his salary as governor

SKILLED LABOR INCREASING.
Noticeable Decrease in Youthful Un-
skilled Labor in State.

Public schools. business colleges
and institutions of special training are
responsible, declares State Labor
Commissioner Fletcher. for the not
liceable decrease of youthful unskilled
labor in Michigan and for the Increase
of young and skilled workmen.
Despite the fact that there has
been general increase in Michigan's
unskilled labor during the past three
years, the last statistics show that the
number of young men and women
under Is years has fallen short Of
previous totals. on the other hand
the same statistics show that young
skilled labor in Michigan is increas-
ing far out of proportion to the de-
crease.
inspectors from every portion of
the state declare that young people
after working a while i'm shops and
IN factories, save up enough money
to take at least short course in
some technical school," declared Mr..
Fletcher. 'In one city we discovered
that 80 per cent. of the young men
performing unskiled labor were taxi
ing correspondence courses and in
another instance ar inspector reported
that half the skilled labor employed i'm
a big factory was composed OF young
men below 20 years of age"
