BRYAN LECTURES
 AS HE FINDS HIS SALARY TOO SMALL

Asheville. N. C., July 1HShattering all traditions of Western North Caro- lima by giving a paid entertainment on Sunday, Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, during a stock Iec- ture at Hendersonvi11e near here, de- clared that he was forced to lecture to supplement his SIP, ,000 salary from the government, which he declares is not sufficient for his needs. After the lecture he prepared the following state nent explaining his position:
 AS this is my first Chautauqua 1ec- ture since becoming a member of the Cabinet, it may not be out of place to say that I find it necessary to 1ec- ture in order to supplement the sal ary which receive from the govern ment. As I have lectured for efgh- teen years, this method of adding to my income Is the most natural one to which to turn, and I regard it as ex- tremely legitimate. I know of no better audience than the Chauta'o- quans I did not think 1t improper to go from the Chautauqua platform into a Presidential race and if I had been elected would have thought 1t no stepping down. to return to the Chautauqua platform

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
 BLANCHE BEACON
The Chinese Woman's Complexion

For a long time the popular fiction ivory-tinted and beautiful complexion that is the pride of Chinese women is due to some secret and elab crate pro- cess of enameling. In other words, it seemed too good to be natural.
 Now, however, it has been definitely settled that no process. of ename1ing or doctoring is responsible for their conplexions. This is how they are ob- tained:
 For about ten minutes. pinch the the tips of the fingers.
 2-Apply cooling lotions on absorb ent cotton.
 S--Apply an unguent.
 4-Now knead the cheeks very deli cately, always passing your fingers from the nose and commissures of the lips towards the ears
 As this is a new treatment, I would be glad if someone would try it and advise me as to the results It is perfectly harmless, and can do nc possible damage, but how effective 1t may prove to American complexions is a matter to be investigated. Give it good, fair trial, and then write me.
 And, by the way, don't neglect your neck in this or any other treatment. The neck is one Of my hobbies, and I shall prob ably try your patience ex- ceedingly by insisting upon writing articles on just how and why and wherefore it should not be. neglected.

The captain was smiling and looking over her shoulder. The cat was curled up in another chair. The room looked more home1ike than it had since its owner returned to 1t.
 The friends entered without knock Ing. Captain Cy looked up, saw them and appeared embarrassed

A large number of farmers and
business men, Of this city, and
st. Landry, attended the mass
meeting, which was held at the
courthouse. on last Saturday
evening. ST. Landry being es-
sentially a cotton country, and
the meeting being called solely
for the purpose of interesting
the cotton growers of this parish
in the proposition of the South
ern States Cotton Corporation,
which corporation was organized
for the purpose of aiding the
cotton growers throughout the
south in obtaining 15 cents per
pound for their cotton, the court
house was almost filled with
sturdy St. Landry farmers.
Mr.. II. L. Stokes, of Shreve-
port. Parish organizer, and spec
ial representative for the Cot
ton Corporation, on this occa-
sion, explained the methods of
the corporation thoroughly to
his audience; several Of the citi-
zens arose and questioned the
gentleman from North Louisiana,
but he always gave them plain
and sensible answers.
The proposition, as it is under
stood by those who heard Mr..
Stokes on the subject, is as
follows: The farmer lists his
cotton with the corporation, CIV
ing one dollar to defray expens-
es. The company, when the.
farmer delivers the cotton, in the
fall, gives the farmer three
fourths of the real value, at that
time, of the cotton, and then
gives him scripts for the rest,
with 6 per cent interest until the
market price goes to Is cents, !
Whereupon the cotton growers
gets the remaining portion of his
money and the interest on It.

LOCAL. DELEGATES TO
ATTEND CONVENTION
Opelousas Will Be Well Represented at Boosters
Convention, at Lafayette,
August 9th and 9TH.

this city, it is expected, will ap.
prove the organization of the
bureau, at it's next meeting,
| which will take place before the
Lafayette Convention. T h {
president of the League, Mr.. Z.
! Fl. Mornhinveg, has already de-
clared himself in favor Of the
propositions put before the
board of directors of the Pro-
gressive League, sometime ago,
by Mr.. SWitzer, general mana
ger of the get-to-gether move
ment, differing, however, as to
his views on the ten cents per
capita tax, which a parish will
be required to give for the main
tenance of the Southwest Louis
lana Development Burea
Nevertheless, it is expected that
the bureau will be launched with
success, when several hundred
boosters, from every nook and
corner of Southwest Louisiana,
will assemble in the city of La
fayette, on August 9Th and 7th.
Lafayette wants to see a
crowd from Opelousas go there.
on Sunday, at least, and see.
what the convention will do.
Plenty of accommodation, and
one hundred people from here
should avail themselves of the
opportunity to hear the PROPOSE
tions which the delegates will
put before t h e convention.
Southwest Louisiana needs the
bureau, and unless its people
take interest in the organization
of one, it's no use to have one.
The bureau will help greatly in
populating and bettering the
condition of affairs of this sec
tion of Louisiana.
Get-to-gether, people of Ope-
lousas, and go to Lafayette for
the Convention on next Sunday,
August the 9Th.

10000 EXPECTED At
new IBERIA MEETING
Sugar and Rice Farmers to
Meet to Approve Senator's
Fight ON Tariff.

AT New iberia, La, this even
ing at 1 o'clock will be held a
mass meeting of the people OF
Louisiana il honor of Senator
John r. Thornton and Senator
Joseph E. RansdelI, United
States Senators for the State of
Louisiana. This meeting is held
for the purpose of commencing
and endorsing these senators for
their fight for rice and sugar.
An attendance of 10, 600 people
is expected and the railroads
have authorized reduced rates.
The Louisiana senators have
from the first stood firmly for
protection for rice, and they
have announced that they will
not vote for the Underwood
tariff bill because the tariff on
rice has been cut too much. An
attempt has been made to read
them out of the Democratic
Party for standing by the rice
and it is now proposed
to show to the world that the
farmers of southern Louisiana
stand by and approve the acts Of
their senators.
Every rice farmer who can
possibly attend this meeting
4 h o uld do so. A large
attendance will show the Con-
gress and the President tn at the
people of Louisiana approve the
stand of their senators. while a
small attendance would tend to
show that the people Of southern
Louisiana are Indifferent as to
the tariff on rice and sugar.
Stand by Thornton and Rams
dell as they have stood by you.
