First Months Doings of Civic Leagup.

BORN:-To the City of Welsh,
| Thursday, February %, an organiza-
ton christened "Civic League" Its
foster child, mothere2 by some for
| ty.fve of the best women Of Welsh and
encouraged IN its undertakings bv
many of the clear thinking, progress
i've fathers of the town.
Young as is this infant, it has taken
mauv steps toward cleaning up, beau
tifying and thus adding to the health
fitness of the little city. 1t has an
excellent constitution, which has en-
abled it to accomplish so much in so
short time. There is no wasted en-
ergy and no confusion in the working
out OF it's plans.
While this youth is but month
old, it has exercised much with rake,
spade and shovel. 1t has transformed
the cemetery from a forsaken bramble
patch, interspersed with tombstones,
to peaceful quiet resting place for
the dead.
The Auditorium grounds are being
put in shape to correspond with the
handsome building, OF which we are
justly proud,
And Thursday, of tais week, was
"clean.up'' dav for the town. There
is NO place, either business block or
private residence, which has not, in
some way, been improved in appear
aIce, because of the existence of the
Civic League. And not only is atten-
ton paid to the material external
things, but the educational side is be-
ing looked after.
1t is hoped that enough season tick
cts may be sold to warrant the con-
tracing for splendid lecture course
next winter. But all these things re-
quire financial support. The league
could accomplish much more if there
were more funds. So let every one, !
who can, join and pay in the small |
fee required.
Patronize the exchange, held every
week, and take no offense whatey err
comes.

Over a Billion in Gold

Congress has authorized the Secr,
tary OF the Treasury to cease Tho
foolish practice of coming gold bh
piled up in the vaults of the treasury
and hereafter the government will
store gold in the form of bullion and
foreign coin, as we'll as the existing
output of the United States miuts.
On February the treasury vaults
contained the enormous sum of In.
million dollars in gold, by far the
greatest store Of precious metals ever
accumulated in the history OF the
world. More than billion dollars
Of this treasure is in coin and most Of
it is represented in circulation by
gold certificates.
About 600 millions of gold coin is
in circulation, u smaller amount than
ten years ago, while the volume Of
outstanding gold certificates is nearly
five times that of ten years ago. The
certificates are SO much more con.
yenent than the coin that they are
preferred by the banks and the PEG.

treasury aud issue certificates against
it, 1t should much better be kept as

Besides its vast stores OF gold, sh Q

nearly 500 million silver dollars, most
of which are held against outstanding
certificates in circulation, while only
about 10 million silver dollars are 10

Section Foreman Struck by No. Ten
Seriously Injured.

A serious accident occurred just west
OF Iowa, "a little before noon Tuesday,
which may result in the death OF NJ.
Bourdier. section foreman OF the
Mallard Junction division. B)urdler
with his crew Of men were gravellng
bridge No. 30 A., about two miles
west of Iowa, when No. 10, the through
passenger train, running double head
or, came through, and struck him in
back inActug internal injuries from
which it is doubtful If he RECEIVERS.
The injured man was placed on the
train and brought on here to Welsh, Il
distance of about fourteen miles and
placed in the care Of a physician.
According to statement furnished
by RoadMaster, Lawler who was on
the front engine at the time of the
accident, B0urdier and his crew were
gruyeling Bridge 2l0 a, when No. ~
came through. The train slowed down
to about ten miles per hour, and the
crew had no difficulty in getting or
the bridge before the train reached
them, but the foreman seemed to
have lost his head and continued run
ming down the track even after he had
got clear of the bridge. Finally slack
ing his speed to get off the track he
was struck in the side and back.
AT the first, when being examined
here, it vas thought that he was not
seriously injured, but d fuller exam
inatioa deyeloped the fact that he had
received a sever blow in the back,
which doubtless caused internal injur-
les, from which it is doubtful IL he re-
covers. Mr. Lawler, as we'll as num-
Der OF Welsh gentlemen, assisted 10
seeing that he had all the care that
could be given him. His wife aud
baby at Mallard Junction were notl.
fed of the accident, The officials OF
the road in New Orleans were imme-
diately communicated with and ordered
his removal to the hospital at Hous-
ton on No. 5, which goes through here
at three-thirty. DR.. r, r. Arceneaux !

panying him.
Mr.. Bourtlier was we'll known to
many in Welsh, having been section |
foreman of this division, some three
or four years ago.
Shortly after starting for Houston,
DR.. Arceneaux perceived that his pa.
tient was nearing the end and decided
to have him removed at Lake Charles,
where he died shortly after being TAX
en- from the train.

ket,ng the 1917 crop of rice, The as
surintjou was organized last fall,
wheu The rice situation was at its low
est cob, and there seemed to be nOth-
iu,r that could save it from utter run.
The largest crop Of years was on hana'
together with substantial carry
over, and the market was completely
tletnoralized. There was praCtlCaIly
no demand for rice, and what was be-
ing sold was going begging at 20
or less per barrel, while great rice
factors such as the late Henry hahn,
and others OF his kind who bad always
directed the deStinies of the rice belt,
were predicting that the market w0uld
vet drop to Sl.eo for first class rice
In the face of these discouraging con-
ditions, and opposed by number OF
obstacals, The Southern Rice Growers
Association, composed Of producers
Of rice, began its work. While it Of
ten met with rebuffS from those whom
it was trying to benefit, the assocla-
ton. through its leaders persisted IN
their work of establishing rice on Il
firm market basis. 1t was not long
before there were signs OF life in the
market, and through the association
small lots of rice began moving. Soon
after this the association was enabled
to effectively decree a substantial ad-
vance in the price Of rice, placing it
on basis of $2,75 per barrel for No.

IN ADVANCE. If your subscrip-
ton is not paid in advance, it is NOW
DUE, and prompt settlement would be
greatly appreciated.

list on fully paid up basis, which we are sure
will be more satisfactory, both to our subscrib-
ers and to ourselves. 10 this end, we are send

of these statements, kindly give it your prompt

Splendid Rain Visits this Section Of
Louisiana.

After protracted drouth of several
weeks, this section Of the state was
visited by splendid rain Friday and
Saturday. The drouth 10 this section
has been one OF the most prOtracted
known here for a number of years,
there having been but q slight shower
or two since the first of the year.
While this condition was quite accept
able during the latter part of the win
ter, the need Of moisture was begin
ming to be felt in all lines. Cisterns
were dry, stock water was getting
scarce, and worst of all, it was get
ting So dry that farmers could hardly
work their ground, aud but little seed
ing was being done. as the ground
was too dry to gerninate the seed.
The recent showers, however, have
put everything into excellent condition
for working the soil and starting of
crops.
The extremely open winter has per.
mitted the farmers to get we'll adj
vanced with their blowing, so that
practically all are through blowing
and most of them are ready to begin
seeding in full force. In fact, practi.
cally every planter started seeding
Monday morning, and are taking full
advantage of the excellent conditions
of soil and weather.
Aside from the rice that is being
planted this season, there will be an
increased acreage of high land crops,
including corn, sweet potatoes, cane,
sorghum and other crops planted. The
farmers, in the main, have become con.
