Profitable Crops
The growth of plant above ground de-
pends on the development Of its roots.
Deep plowing permits rain to sink into the
ground more readily and puts the soil in con-
ditlon to hold the moisture
The capacity OF deep titled soil to hold the
moisture is an exceedingly important factor in
dry seasons.
The deep-plowed land acts as sponge,
soaking up the water and preserving it for the
future use when drought comes.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-11-30

For one thing, all the members
of Nix congregation, both men
and women, had to take off their
shoes before entering the church.
Nix also collected a tax from
all users of tobacco and liquor.
The district attorney says that
he will prove that Nix is guilty of
conducting himself improperly
toward at least a dozen children
in the church.

ANOTHER CULT BUSTED
Walthall, Miss, Nov. 3O.-An-
other cult has gone crashing to a
disastrous end here.
The REV" Al. Nix, head of the
cult, is in a cell in the county Jail
He is white with fear and is pray
ing aloud for mercy.
Around the jail the sheriff has
thrown a heavy guard of armed
deputies.
Outside is an angry crowd Of
citizens demanding that Nix be
given up to them so they may
lynch him.
Late last night the grand jury
returned a secret indictment
against the minister.
Nix was arrested Immediately.
The sheriff armed extra deputies
before allowing the contents of
the indictment to be made public.
The indictment charged Nix
with an attempted assault on a g
year-old girl member of his Sun
day school.
When he first was arrested Nix
laughed at the charge against
him.
He said that he only had spank
ed the girl for not learning her
Bible lesson properly.
But the girl told different
story, and the fathers of Nix con-
gregation were reused to fury.
Early today the fathers began
gathering at the Jail. They sent
for the sheriff and demanded that

After one of the most actively and
vigorously fought campaigns, which
have taken place in this parish for
many years, Sheriff Lacoste was re-
elected for a third term at the close
of the second primary Tuesday by a
majority Of "A over his opponent,
Felix H. Mouton.
Sheriff Lacoste has already served
the people of Lafayette parish eight
years, and his reelection for a third
term is flattering expression of ap-
proval, by a majority of the voters,
of the record he has made in Office.
During his ensuing term we are
sure Sheriff Lacoste will serve all
the people with the same zeal and
efforts he has in the past, and it is
the duty of all citizens, without re-
gard to factonal lines, to unite and
cooperate with him in everything
that conduces to the welfare Of the
people.

is declared.
Sheriff Fontenot got a letter to-
day from a negro Of st. Martinville.
The negro. whose name cannot at
present be revealed, stated that he
is in possession of information that
will lead to the arrest Of the persons
guilty of the Rayne murder, which
occurred about year ago.
II seems that through confidence
placed In him by one of the accom-
plices Of the murderer, the st. Mar
tinville negro knows all about the
Rayne crime and who the guilty per-
sons are. He claims to have had
possession Of this information for a
long time. The recent wholesale
murders, he claims, have 50 fright
ened him that for fear his knowl-
edge Of the murders might serve as
An incentive to murder him also. he
is willing to furnish the desired in
formation In self-defense. The ne
gro believes that the series Of muir
ders were committed by clique of
religious fanatics, but he says that
he is In no way connected with the
crimes, and has nothing to fear in
the event that the guilty parties are
caught.
Sheriff Fontenot left for Rayne
this evening to get all the informa-
ton available, after which he will
go to ST. Martinville and interview
the negro who claims to know all
about the crime.
If the investigation at st. Martin
vile gives a clue by which the
authorities can ferret out the matter,
the sheriffs from all places in which
the murders have occurred will be
notified.

A New Gas Burner.

The Advertiser force enjoyed some
delicious cake and a fine biscuit
Tuesday; sent by MI. J. w. Bassett,
which was cooked b a stove pro-
vided with the Hydrocarbon Bur-
ner. This is new device for burn
ing ordinary coal oil and water to-
gether. Oil and water will not mix,
but the burner by converting both
into a gas produces gas similar to
natural gas. Lighting is quickly
done and there is full control over
the heat. The burner is attachable
to any stove and is very economical.
The burner was on exhibition here
at The Gazette Office several days.
Messrs. ]. w. Bassett, H. H. Sapdoz
and ]. M. Chiasson have bought the

State Superintendent of Public Ed

without opposition. has been asked
to resign by a meeting of citizens
held n Lafayette. Mr. Harris took
little too prominent part before the
late primary in behalf of the candi-

had no opposition for the position.
Mr.. Harris has caught hades since
then, but with all their talk and do
ings he will hold on to his job for
the next four years.-Lake Provi-

she was compelled to hold her little re-

there is the perpetual hint Of hard

An acacia tree, supposed to have
been planted by Victor Hugo in bis
childhood has Just been saved from de-
struction in Paris. The tree stands In
the Boulevard Raspail, and its tall,
curved trunk has long been familiar
to the inhabitants Of that quarter. A
short time ago a certain M. Charuin
bought the plot upon which 1t grew for
the purpose of erecting mansion.
The whole quarter was disturbed at
the news that tree of such traditions
was about to disappear.
When, however, M. Chaurin heard
that his new mansion was likely to de-
molish the object OF generation
with which he sympathized, he altered
his architectural plans spontaneously,
and built a semi-circular frontage to
his houseRj Just incl0sing the acacia
