No True "Perch'' in louisiana
Waters

/ Fishermen with rod and line catch
a great many of the fish which they
call sperch. y These fish are either
sunfish or bass, there being no true t
ssperches" in the waters Of the state.
Ten species that are called "percn
are sunfish, and two belong to the
bass family. Tt Is a little bit diff
cult to distinguish these fish, and
| in an effort to make the matter
clearer and easier President Frank
! NJ. Miller of the State Game and
Fish Commission has prepared list
which under the head of a color
scheme may perhaps be Of some use
| to the fishermen In ascertainlng
the right names.
All of these fish are found
throughout the state in bayous, Ia
goons, rivers and lakes, in from 2
to 8 feet depth of water. Their
color depends great deal on the
character of the water, the prevailing
color, however, being green. Two OF
these species are green or greenlsh
throughout-the round sunfish, or
flier, and the goggle-eye or red-eye
rock bass.
nIRG SpGCICSE Ol oatlI1Sn S0LlAAAShAs
called "perch" that are green. green
ish, or olive colored on the side and
back, and yelloWish or golden on
the belly, are the golden-eye War
mouth bass, the blue-spotted green
sunfish, the red-breasted Dream or
yellow belly sunfish, the blue gill
sunfisf and the scarlet sunfish.
Species of sunfish commonly called
perch which have other markings
than green or greenish sides and
backs and yelloWish or brassy bellies,
are the red-eared sunfish, the red
spotted sunfish, the 1ong-eared sun-
fish, and two species of perch
sunfish, one of which grows to
length of about 10 inches and the
other to a length Of three inches,
the latter being somewhat rare.
Disciples of Isaac Walton who are
desirous of knowing just what kind
of fish they land will be interested
in Mr.. MilIer's very instructive ar
ticle, copies of which may be OBJ
tanned by addressing the State Game
and Fish Commission. New Orleans,

Believes In Local Option.

In an interview with represent
atiye Of the New Haven (Conn.)
Union, Gov. Baldwin of Connecticut
expressed himself as being In favor
OF local option as applied to the
liquor traffic, and declared that he
is not in sympathy with the legisla-
tive or constitutional platform of the
Prohibition party. The governor said :.
think a pledge of total absti-
nence from intoxicating liquors is TO
most men safeguard of health and
character, but am not a believer in
croWding total abstinence down ey-
erybody's throat. Prohibition in my
view should be a matter of local OPP
ton, and while am not accustomed
to take anything myself have al
ways voted for license in New
Haven, believing it to be too large
a city to be governed under d rule

Poche-FoIse.

/ A wedding of much interest tG
many friends throughout the state
took place Wednesday afternoon OF
/ last week at the Catholic church in
1 this city, when Miss Pearl Vivian
Folse, the attractive daughter OF
| Mr.. and Mrs. o. A. Folse, was mar
ried to f. Clarence Poche, the tai
ented young son of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. Alfred 5Poche of st. Amelia, Rev.
/ v. NJ ,Scramuzza officiating. The
1 ceremony was to have been solemn
lied at high noon, but owing to the
non-arriVal of the best man, r. b.
Folse, of Morgan City, due to his
| failure to make train connections, it
was some time after the appointed
hour when the bridal party arrived
at the church. Upon receipt of a
telephone message from Mr. Folse
at II o'clock that he had missed his
train, Leon M. Folse, of Raceland,
who happened to be a house guest,
was pressed into service as best man.
The little ring bearer, Miss Jeanne
Poche, entered the church first, fol-
lowed by Miss Emily Poche, maid of
honor. Next came the bride, lean
ing on the arm of her father, who
gave her in marriage. They ad-
vanced up the aisle to the accompa-
niment of the wedding march, ex
quisitely rendered by Octave Terrio,
and were met at the altar by the
groom and his best man.
The brides gown was of net heav-
lily embroidered in silk, made high
in the neck and en- train. She wore
the conventional veil of illusion,
which was fastened to her hair with
spray Of orange blossoms. A
shower bouquet of bride roses and
ferns completed her costume.
Miss Poche, maid of honor, was
lovely in a. beautiful lingerie dress,
With white hat and ostrich plumes.
She also carried a shower bouquet.
The pretty little ring bearers dress
was a dainty creation Of hand en-
broidered lingerie, with msets of val
insertion.
Owing to the lateness of the hour
the newly welded pair could not
stop to partake of the wedding break
asst served in their honor at the
home of the BRIDES parents. but af-

c1pients of many handsome and val

popularity which they enjoy among
a wide circle Of friends and acauaint-
ances.
At the wedding breakfast, the
cutting of the brides cake resulted
IN the finding of the ring by Octave
Ferrio, the thimble by Karl Leche
and the dime by Miss Leonie Theriot,
of Houma.
The Chief joins in the fe1icitations
and good wishes shoWered upon the
happy pair, and cherishes the hope
that their married life will be blessed
with a generous measure of happi-
ness and prosperity.

But why were other flowers equally

added to the flowers worthy of protec-
