NATIONAL GUARD NEWS.

Cantain r. F. Walton, u. s. A. Inspector
instructor at the camp of instruction d.
Peekskill. submitted a report on the "olh
OF the 7th Regiment during its tour OF DUTY
last summer that should prove to be grau-
fv,ng indeed TO the members Of that COM
mand. The following is quoted from the
report:
1.-THE 9TH Regiment n. @. ~ Y, is
made up of men with university euuea-
ton. and this regiment has minute traui-
tons and customs more or less COPIED from
years Of association with the West Polh'
Military Academy. The use Of such
a regiment as a body for any state Work
would prove very successful. In time oi
national emergency, when large volunteer
army would have to be formed. 10 use TINS
regiment as a regiment would be WASTE
OF most valuable material for volunteer OF
ficers With the work planned properly
practically every man In this regiment
would be made a valuable company officer
and many would make valuable field onl-

THE attendance OF the eth Regiment
varied from day 10 day, as indicated In the
average attendance. This was due TO the
fact that the men were granted passes for
a day or more during the encampment for
the purpose Of visiting New York City on
business The great number OF men absent
from the camp was due altogether 70 the
fact that this regiment IS made up or men
Of great business responsibilities, and the
attendance has always been smaller than
one might expect. I inspected the camp
each day, and the only men that were ever
in the streets OF the companies we're tho
non-commissioned officers in charge OF the
mess and a man excused by the doctor.
The total sick was exceedingly small-did
not average more than four TO the resi-

Journal Ads Brought Quick Results.

Advertising that brings results is
the kind that counts, and the Journal
covering this and adjoining parishes as
it does is able to give it's customers that
kind of advertising, as example of what
a few lines in the Journal may do for
you. we note two of a.number of recent
instances.
Mr.. M. j. Sullivan had taken up a
cow and after having enquired OF every
one whom he met for about four weeks
decided the best plan was to advertise
her in the JOURNAL, the owner OF the
cow. who had spent at least, according
to his own statement, $1,000 in time
and money looking for the COW saw
the ad in the first issue and secured his
COW. Cost of advertising 80 cents.
DR.. W. L. Stewards saddle horse es'
capped about two weeks ago, after
spending a good deal of time hunting
the prairies from here to WoodlaWn
and making number of inquiries, the
Doctor decided to put little ad in the
Journal, with the result that the horse
was located the same day the paper
was put in the Office, and a JOURNAL
AID did it, at cost of but As cents.
If YOU have anything lost, strayed OF
stolen, anything to sell, or trade, or Il
YOU have found anything that yor
don't know the owner of, try an ad il

The people of Southwest Louisiana
are taking more interest in Parish
Fairs this year than ever before, and
no parish fair in the state is attracting
more wide spread interest, and is offer
ing more to its patrons than the Calca.
Sleu'LoulSiana Parish Fair that will be
held IN Lake Charles, November q, to
December l, 1912, The management of
this fair are making every effort to
secure the large and most varied exhib.
Its that has ever been assembled in this
section Of the state, of her wonderful
agricultural and live stock productions
Aside from the extensive exhibits, which
will be a revelation, not only to the
stranger III our midst. but to our own
people dS we'll, there will be an excellent
program Of racing and field sports
every day. that will be worth more
than the price of admission.
II you have produced a better pig,
calf, colt, coop Of fowls, or vegetables
OF any kind than your neighbor, make
arrangements to exhibit it at the fair
1t will not only do you good it will en-
courage your neighbor to do better

possibilities of the Best Country OF
Earth" to the hundreds of strangers
who will attend the Calcasieu.Louisians

more days attending this progressive
enterprise that is of general benefit Il
the entire Southwestern section O

To the Voters of jefferson Davis

PROMISES of a few men, and were made
to believe that Mr.. VIM was the pre-

VOTERS BEWARE -!
DON'T Be DECEIVED
By Statements That This or That
Candidate Has Withdrawn
From the Race.

1t is an old trick, ana one that seems
to have been revived by some of our
political friends in the eastern part of
the parish, to 60 out among the voters
ana tell them Confdentially that the
other candidates have gotten a severe
case of cold feet and are going to with.
draw from the race, Such politics as
this are reprehenSible in the extreme
and decidedly foolish, in the case of the
present election, when a candidate that
has made the race thus far can continue
it to the end and be to but little more
expense than he would be should he
withdraw.
A case that seems to be of this class
is that of Mr.. Ursus Daigle, a former
foreman for Mr.. Housellier of Jennings,
who is now making a gum.shoe cam.
palgn for votes for sheriff. Mr.. Daigle
was in Welsh Monday evening, and in
discussing the political situation as
sured his hearers that most of the
other candidates for sheriff had with
drawn from the race, and that if Jos
Fuselier would withdraw, he, Daigle
could beat H. VIM to a fragile. Now
this is all talk as far as the other candi
dates for sheriff having withdrawn
AS proof of this we call attention to TIT
statement of Mr.. Pratt in this issue O
the Journal, in which he asserts tina
these same kinds of yarns have beer
told about him, but that he is in thu
fight to the finish, and we might alst
quote our esteemed friend Louis
Deputy, who made similar Statemen
relative to the question of withdraw
ing, a few days before Mr.. Daigle'
visit here this week.
We believe it is a safe guess to sa.
that every candidate who is now il
the race for a political office is in it t
stay, and that when any one of tn
candidates says that the other fellow
are drawing out in his favor, or not
it is equally safe to say that he is mis-
representing facts in order to gail
votes for himself or for some candidate
for whom he is acting as stool pigeon

c. R, SWITzER BRINGS IN
GUSHER IN Welsh FIELD
Gushed Over Top of Derrick and is
is a Strong Flowing Well at
the Present Time.

What has the marks and gives
promise of being the best oil well ever
developed in the Welsh Oil Field was
brought in last Thursday, as a tempo.
rary gusher, by Mr.. c. R. Switzer.
MIR. SWitzer is one of the oldest and
most successful drillers in the Welsh
field, having put down % holes in that
field, 20 of which came in as producing
wells. Not being altogether satisfied
to drill under direction of others, Mr..
SWitzer secured the Gulf Coast lease on
the E. S. Wood property and began
drilling a short time ago in accord
with his own ideas, with the result that
after going considerable deeper than
the usual run of wells in the Welsh
field he had the satisfaction of bringing
in what gives promise of being the
best well the field has ever produced.
The new well was brought in on the
18th inst, and after gushing for some
time settled down as a flowing well,
with at present too strong flow to
permit its being pumped. The product
OF this well is practically free from
water, and although secured at lower
level than the other wells of the field is
still a heavy oil, resembling the other
oil of the field and differing from the
Jennings and Beaumont product.
While Mr.. SWitzer is perfectly willing
to give the public any information he
has relative to the possibilities of his
new well, he has not yet made sufficient
tests 10 determine what its actual pro-
duction is or the exact quality of the
product.
In degree elated over his success
in this well, Mr.. Switzer is already
moving his machinery preparatory tc
beginning drilling a new we'll which he
expects to start within a week or ter
days.
The Rio Bravo Company which has
been a successful operator in the f1el(
for number of years, are now work
ing on a deep well, which it is common
ly reported they will sink to depth O.
$500 or 5000 feet unless they find some
thing better than has yet been pro
duced in the field at lesser depth.
| The Welsh field, while never having
enjoyed a great boom like a number o.
other fields in this and other section:
of the country, has always been goot
producing field, in which the supply
was reasonably constant for number
of years. The possibilities of the new
developments that are now being made
in the field seem quite flattering, and i
is entirely within the range of the pos
Sible that the Welsh field may yet take
rank with the larger fields of the south
