Bereavement,

The death of Mrs. Fannie Norman
of Pelican, which occurred at the
North Louisiana Sanitarium, was a
great sorrow to her devoted rela-
tives and friends. Mrs. Norman was
the widow of Mr.. ]. T. Norman, a
prominent merchant of DeSoto Par
ish. Her husbands death some years
ago, following the death of two love
ly children, left her alone, except
for the outer circle Of devoted rel
atives who made her sorrow theirs
and their home hers.
In the home of her sister, Mrs.
Powell of Pelican, she was regarded
as a second mother TO the children,
and this loving devotion Of the
young nieces and nephews and
cousins brought perennial joy into
her life. When i'll health laid its
heavy hand upon this beloved wom-
an, she was brought to Shreveport
for treatment, accompanied by her
nieces. Miss Ottie and Kate Powell.
But alas, all was in vain to bring
back health to the patient sufferer.
The end came peacefully, but sor-
row filled the hearts of her loved
ones.
The remains were conveyed to the
family burying ground al Pelican,
where friends gathered to pay the
last tribute of love and friendship to
one who made life happier for
others.
Mrs. Norman's cousins, Misses
Willie and Mabel Smith, and Mrs.
Ben Wharton Of Shreveport, attend
ed the burial. The services were
conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Holiday
of the Baptist church.

REPAIRS ARE
PROGRESSING
ON CITY HALL

Repairs on the city hall are ad-
vancing so rapidly that the second
floor of the building no longer looks
like it's former self. The partitions Of
the council chamber have been torn
away and much of the other work to
be done preparatory to the plastering
has been accomplished.
Though the firemens sleeping quar-
ters have been invaded by the car
penter, they are still habitable. The
work being done in this part of the
building is at the extreme rear, where
all necessary preparations are being
made to give the firemen larger and
better lavatory facilities.
1t is estimated by City Engineer
Ansley that the entire work of re-
modelling will not be concluded unit
about the middle of May, when every
one of the contracts will likely bt
completed The manner in which thS
work has been done up to this time
warrants the belief that it will bt
completed very quickly and satisfac
torily.

FOOD PRICES
ARE SOARING
EVER HIGHER

The Americus housekeeper will
doubtless view with some feeling OF
alarm the aeroplaning of food prices
this week, as many things that go up
on the table have taken an upward
turn recently.
Yesterday the price of hams and ba-
con advanced one and half cents
per pound, and the Western product
bought by farmers for their field hands
now costs 12 to IL IL cents retail
while the price of hams also ad-
vanced.
Lard took a fight as well, while
another half cent has been added tc
the price of coffee, which creeps =
little higher continually Cannes
goods have soarer some, too, as have
many things handled by the groce
and required in making up the dali.

SHOULD MAKE
rice ARTICLE
OF DAILY DIET
ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF IT
Southern People Should Use
II More

Atlanta, Ga, March 27.-"Southera
housewives who are finding the cost of
living problem a troublesome one, can
do much toward its solution by giving
rice a much more important place in
the daily ration" declares Miss Isma
Dooley, editor of the Woman's De-
partment of The Atlanta Constitution
and one of the South's leading author
tiles on domestic science.
There is no food product more
wholesome, more nourishing, or more
adaptable to varied preparation" says
Miss Dooley, than rice which the
average housekeeper can almost reach
and get from the soil that yields II.
There was a time when it was appre-
ciated and when the housekeepers of
the South prided themselves on how
they could cook rice, every grain
standing to itself, and how with every
meat or game course, whether from
the home yard or the distant hunting
ground, it was the South's rice which
went to complete the delicious dish.
1T seems inconsistent, indeed, that
when two thirds of the worlds inhab-
!, itants accept rice as the main food
product that people in the South
should fail to appreciate its value.
With all the progressive protective
movements women are pushing,
rather marvel some movement has not
been inaugurated by which the house
keepers of this section could be taught
to recognize rice as one of our best
cheapest and most easily acquired
food products"

PROGRAM OF
GREAT Merit
WAS ENJOYED
AT BELL STUDIO LAST NIGHT
Concert Company Afforded
Much Enjoyment

A program, which in its varied fea-
lures and the excellence with which
it was rendered was unusually good,
was that enjoyed at the concert given
by the members of the Metropolitan
Concert Company at the Bell music
studio last night.
AS the program embraced violin, vo-
cal piano number, its variety was es-
pecially pleasing. The opening Sc
lection, violin solo by Miss Ger
wing, evinced a satisfying perform
ance of difficult number. Her work
pleased the audience greatly, both the
rendering of the initial number and
the encores and AVA Maria" and "El-
fentanz," the other numbers on the
program, for which Mr.. Rebarer play
ed exquisitely accompaniments.
Mr.. Rebarer's work at the piano
was especially pleasing and showed
rare musical ability. In technique
I and style and general efficiency his
work showed artistic excellence of the
highest kind. The selections from
Mcdowell on the program, especially
the exquisitely lyrical selection, "T1
A Water Lily" were played with mas
terly sympathy and skill and brought
forth prolonged applause, while the
other selections were also pleasing.
Miss Richey, the soprano, is posses
sed of full, rich and sweet voice
which she uses in simple and unaf-
fected manner The most pleasing
number she sang was THE Lass With
The Delicate Air" while the Other
selections were of varied and salts
factory nature.
With his opening number, an aria
from La Boheme, Mr.. Pranski, the
tenor, won the hearts of the members
of the audience. His voice is one oi
rare sweetness and range. His artiS-
tic ability was we'll shown by tht
manner in which he sang the number
from II Pagliacci. In this his WORK
was of exceptional excellence AM
proved him to be a singer of higt
rank.
The program as a whole was wei
chosen and rendered in a manner tha
was both artistic and pleasing to th'
popular ear.

CHANGES IN
OFFICERS Of
The COMPANY
AFTER RESIGNATION OF DAVIS
Several Names Mentioned
For Vacancy

The resignation of Captain Charles
P. Davis as commanding officer of the
Americus Light Infantry will become
effective on Monday or Tuesday next.
April End, on which date he will be
checked out and the command of the
company given over to Lieut.. James
Fort until an election to fill the ex-
listing vacancy can be held at a later
date.
Captain Davis will be placed upon
the retired list of officers in the states
military service, as he desires, being
entitled to this privilege after sixteen
years continuous service. That Lieut..
Fort will receive merited promotion
in election to the captaincy as the
successor of Captain Davis there is
every reason to believe as he is very
capable, and popular. Former Cap
tain Brown McLendon, an excellent
officer, has again enlisted in the ranks
as a private, after retirement of h
year or two on account of i'll health
The opinion prevails that Mr.. Nc
Lendon will succeed to the first lieu
tenantcy of the company in the event
of the promotion of Lieut.. Fort, and
the Light Infantry would have three
excellent commissioned officers in
Captain Fort, Lieutenants McLendon
and Hogue, should it result that way.
Two elections will have to be held, one
for the captaincy and another later to
fill any vacancy that may occur
While the physical condition of the
Americus military is excellent, the
greatest deficiency is in keeping the
ranks filled. Unfortunately several
merchants here are more or less op-
posed to their employees becoming
members of the company, despite the
fact that the maintenance of the mill
tary organization here is highly essen
tial to the preservation of peace and
good order.
The disbandment. quite recently, Of
several military commands in South
Georgia leaves only three companies,
the Americus Light Infantry, the AL
bany Guards and Columbus Guards, to
preserve order in the entire territory
OF South Georgia from Macon to the
Florida line-considerably more than
y, II +ha ctato in oraa
However, with capable officers, and
with the enthusiasm and determine
ton that has characterized the Light
Infantry during its nearly thirty years
ci existence, the old guard will stay on
TIE firing line as bulwark of strength
in this section of the state.
