St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1913-06-28

An Iowa paper complains that
thousands of residents from that
State are leaving each year and
crossing the border into the
Canadian Northwest. The rea-
son this exodus of citizens is be-
ing experienced by the great
corn state, the paper says, is be-
cause the enterprising land own
ers and citizens of towns located
in the Canadian Northwest are
flooding that section with litera-
ture containing invitations and
offers to the ToWans. Just think
of what might be done in bring
ing thousands of citizens to
Southwest Louisiana if we were
following the example set by the
people of the Canadian North
west. Just think how much
more we have to offer in the
way of climate, soil, lands and
natural advantages! The very
idea of thousands moving into
a bleak country when the ground
is covered with snow almost sew
en- months in the year when they
might be cultivating garden
truck and picking roses in Louis
lana! But it is our fault. We
evidently don't want these peo-
pie one-half as much as the Ca
else we would be max
ing some little effort to land a
few. Lake Charles Times.

"A very quiet affair In Crystal Falls

and it is still hoped that some steps

very desirably at some Of the lakes

This method OF observance no doubt
would find grand reception from n

occasion by closing their respective
business places for at least half the

Michigan the honor Of being the head
of the pure food st ates Some Of
the laws advanced to prevent food
adulteration and insure honest weights
and measures are decidedly stringent
and much good IS looked 20 follow
their enforcement. Food inspectors
throughout the state have been made
inspectors of weights and measures
also. Every commission merchant
dealing in farm products must now
be licensed by the state. Deceptive
