Frequent Showers This week, Wei
coined bv the Planters,

After a most welcome and phenomi-
nal dry fall, that has permitted practi.
cally every sack of rice in the Louisiana
Rice Belt to be saved without damage
from weather, light showers began
falling the first of the week, and con.
tinued at intervals until Tuesday even.
ing, when the Weather Man began
business in earnest, since which time
about ten inches of water has fallen,
with abundant prospects of more. The
fields are broad sheets of water, and
the bayous are higher now than they
have been for number of years. The
present heavy rains, however coming
at the time of year that they are, will
do little OF no damage other than per-
haps to wash out few bridges, while
they are giving the ground a good
washing, and should in the long run
prove decided benefit.

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER.
Bryan Being Suggested For Secretary
of State. Country Enjoying UR-
precedented Prosperity.
Washington D. c. Dec. g. 1912.

NdSullIS tUll ~. u. DtC. 6. 1919.
RumorS are busy picking out meE-
bers for President-elect Wilson'S Official
household. There seems to be no doubt
whatever but that William J. Bryan
can be secretary of State, and therefore
the Premier OF the Wilson cabinet il be
so desires. A great many OF Mr.. Bryan'S
friends are urging him to accept this
high position, and there seems to be
some ground for hope that he will do
so. MIR. Bryan is probably better fitted
for that position than any other man
in America. He has twice travelled
around the world and has visited Cen
trial and South American countries, and
has in other ways eminently qualified
himself to deal with matters affecting
our foreign relations. Furthermore,
many critics Of Mr.. Bryan have charged
him with being dreamer" and thee-
riSt, and therefore. an impractical
man. BY accepting the ONCE Of
Secretary OF State he would be in d
position to show that he is a statesman
of very practical sort and one who
can do things.
BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Reports continue coming into WASH
ington, from New York Chicago and
other centers, indicating that there is
a greater demand for labor in nearly
all lines, than can be supplied. This is a
degree of prosperity that has been sell
domly attained in this country. When
the condition of affairs is such that
there are more jobs than there are men
TO fill them, then we have an assurance
that prosperity is actually present. The
election of Mr.. Wilson seems to have
had most beneficial effect on business
in all parts of the country.

Cline Brothers Sell Their Rice Crop
For 100000 Net.

One of the biggest single rice deals
that has been made in this section of
the state for some time was closed last
week, when the Cline Brothers sold
their 1912 crop consisting of 1893 sacks
of Honduras and 1,O23 sacks of Japan
to the Louisiana State Rice Milling
Company for 100000
This crop was produced upon about
200 acres, and will net the owners above
cost of production about S5,OOO.00 which
would seem to indicate that the rice
business has not altogether gone to the
bad, as it was predicted that it would, a
few years ago, by some of the chronic
kickerS.

TROLLEY AND CABLE.

Recently it was found that the OPP
Grafton of a siphon recorder of the
submarine telegraph cable at Cape
Town, South Africa, was interfered
with by a trolley line. The shore
end of the submarine cable for the
length Of mile was at a mean dis
lance of half mile from the trolley
line.
AS a remedy a second or dummy
cable with an earthplate was laid
as nearly as possible over the old
one and this effectually put an end
to the disturbances. Observations
made in London have shown that the
earth's magnetic field is disturbed
over the whole neighborhood of a
certain electric railroad, and in the
United States the utility of our
magnetic observatories has more
than once been threatened by the
trolley.

sick for two years with chronic bron-
chitis and consequent rundown con-
dition. received no benefit from doc
tors or from trip which took for
my health. and l had to give up work.
Vinol was recommended, and from the
second bottle / commenced to i'm

my bronchial trouble disappeared, and

It is the combined action of the
curative elements of the Gods livers,
aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron contained in Vinol which makes
it so successful in curing bronchitis.
Vinol is constitutional remedy for
chronic coughs, colds, bronchitis and
pulmonary troubles-not palliative
like cough syrups.
Try Vinol. If you don't think 1t
helps you, we will return your money.

Gains 40 Pounds In 40 Days

Remarkable results of the new
tissue builder Bloodine, in many
cases of run down men and
women.
Prove it yourself by buying a
bottle of Bloodine now.
by George, I never saw any
thing like the effects of that new
treatment, Bloodine, for the
building up of weight and lost
nerve force. 1t acted more like
a miracle than medicine, T" said
a we'll known gentleman yester-
day in speaking of the revolution
that had taken place in his con-
dition. Il began to think that
there was nothing on earth that
could make me fat. | tried ton
les, digestives, heavy eating,
diets, milk, beer and almost
everything else you could think
of. but without result.
Any man or woman who is
thin can recover normal weight
by the remarkable new treat
ment Bloodine. Il have been
thin for years and began to think
it was natural for me to be that
way. Finally | read about the
remarkable processes brought
about by the use/of Bloodine, so
| decided to try it myself. Well,
when l look at myself in the mir
ror now, | think it is somebody
else. / have put on just forty
pounds during the last forty
days, and never felt stronger or
more 'nervy' in my life.
Bloodine lie a powerful inducer
/ to nutrition, increases c :
growth. makes perfect the as
similation Of food, increases the
number Of blood corpuscles and
as q necessary result builds up
muscles, and solid healthy flesh,
and rounds out the figure
For women WHO can never ap-
pear stylish in anything they
wear because of their thinness
this remarkable treatment may
prove a revelation. It is beau

PRETTY STORY SPOILED.

Apropos of your recent interesting
editorial, Accidents of History" in
which you refer to Henry Georges
long citation of the story of the
stoppage by an English warsliip, by
order of Charles l., of a vessel on
which Oliver Cromwell had taken
passage for New England, it is a
very little matter, but Mr.. George
might be interested to know that all
modern historians agree that this
story is entirely apocryphal. No ba-
sis for it has ever been adduced.-

prizes were on show. A book, pre-

played his first piano piece, the med

the school procession, and other tro-

displayed.
But chief of all was the silver cup
that stood in the center. And the
