IBERIA CROP NOTES.

The first week of September is
all that could be asked. Plenty
! of sunshine, high temperatures
local shOwers-nOt enough to in
| terfere with farming operations
Under these conditions all crops
and farming interests are greatly
benefited.
The rice harvest is progressing
! rapidly, the favorable weather
| and abundance of satisfied labor
will soon finish the crop. Long
trains of carts laden with sacked
rice is the daily feature on our
roars and streets just now.
While prices have decreased
somewhat, still there is no com
plant as a margin of profit is
seen.
The cane crop, especially plant
cane, is advancing and approach
ing maturity, being of good size
and thick on the row; the tom
mage will not be disappointing
unless something unusual hap
pena Stubble cane docs not
seem to be making the advance as
was expected, but is still short
and dormant, perhaps waiting for
the "shake-ups" of a September
storm.
The cotton crop is making
quite a stir in commercial circles
as it is being offered for sale in
the seed, the first time for some
years. AS the crop had been
abandoned, cotton picking Is
'quite active and prices very en-
couraging. Tt is thought some
1900 bales will be made in Ibe-
ria this year, the maximum crop
heretofore having been 5000
bales.
The corn crop, while it is
good what there is of it, Is not
such a bumper" as some would
suppose, as from estimates made
actual gatherings there will not
be such a great surplus for sale;
prices have advanced to $1.25
per barrel g to l in the shuck.
Work on the farms and planta-
tons is in active progress some
WHIST handicapped by thd ex-
IRENE hest in the middle of the
day. Corn is being gathered.
Peahay is a fine crop, and large
quantities are being saved and
housed, of a superior qnality,
Fall blowing is in vogue and the
old time spirit and hope seems to
pervade everyone, which even the
news from Washington does NOT
dampen. Some little rivalry
seems to exist among the cane
buyers, and agents Of the fac
tories are on the road seeking to
control supply. All along the
Frisco railroad every patch has
been visited by some representa-
i've of a factory, and offers
made for it ranging from So
c ents per centum to $1.O0 per
some having declared
hey will give a price of 1878
DER ton. All ofthis activity re-
bounds to the benefit of the pro-
lucer, who, if not mortgaged,
'njoys the situation hugely Of
,eing courted for his cane. Su-
.ar factories are getting things :
light in preparation for the cam
,aign now only six weeks away.

mony Hair Beautifer. 1t will improve
the beauty of your hair, taking away
the dull harshness and stringiness,
softening and polishing every hair
in your head, and making it soft,
silky, glossy, easier to put up and
keep in place, and at the same time
giving it rich and lasting rose fra
GRANGE that will delight both you and
those around you.
Very easy to apply-simply sprin-
kle little on your hair each time be-
fore brushing it. 1t contains no oil,
and will not change the color of the
hair, nor darken gray hair.

ruff free and clean, use Harmony
Shampoo. This pure liquid shampoo
gives an instantaneous rich lather
that Immediately penetrates to every
part of hair and scalp, insuring a
quick and thorough cleansing. Washed

leisurely strolled into the inclosure--

his shoulder. A whisper in his ear in

The Worlds Work Contains Review of the Ant~Saloon
League Progress

Frank Parker Stockbridge, in the Worlds Work
for October writing under the caption, "The Church
Militant Against the Saloon" gives succinct and
comprehensive review of the past twenty years
achievements of the Anti-Saloon League.
at (the League has become probably the most
active political agency in the country" is the estimate
Mr.. Stoc1bridge places upon the League He backs
up his judgment with array of facts and figures
that indsputabe evidence of the effective fighting
ability of the church in action. He says
The Anti-saoon League is a political party,
it League of organizations and these organiza-
tons chiefly the Christian churches of America,
of almost every denomination, creed and sect The
AntSaoon League is, in fact the Church in politics
the modern Church Militant" And the Holy War
which it is engaged is the nationwide crusade
against the saloon.
Many people-politcans especay-thnk the
only way accomplish reform is to organize
political party The Populists thought Jut many
of their doctrines, which form part of the plat
forms of present-day parties made Roadway
until long after the Populist party dead and
Conversely there never Woman Stuff
rage party. And the An-Saloon League, working
for single object through existing political
chnery in parties, has made the Prohibition issue
live almost every state and the dominant
issue in many states
The church will eventually triumph in this con-
hct Mr.. Stockbridge believes and he POUNDS that be-
lief on the doctrine that right makes might Here is
the way he views the situation:
This latest evidence of the power of rural in1u
in Congress (the passage of the Webb-Kenyon
law gave the final FLIP to the Leagues long -chershed
plan of nationwide campaign for national Proh
bition Of course, that is tremendous undertaking.
but the other hand few people who have
studied its progress know the power of the Anti
Saloon League. 1t has victory after victory
against the political forces of entire state gaining
its points in hostile legislature and carrying county
after county against all the money and political power
OF the liquor interests of the worlds greatest whisky
markets. The Church in the form of the League
is far ADLER in politics than is the saloon. The
is clear. 1t is the old story of conflict between
money and moral principle. And whenever the
issue between dollars and principles has been raised
in this country, principles have always in the
long
No claim of the Leagues efficiency is made that
sis not supported with facts by the author Comment
ing the practical fighting methods employed in
batting the old corrupt machine politics, he selects
the plan of campaign being worked out in Chicago
a fair sample to present to his readers
Perhaps efficient political organization exists any
where that built in Chicago under the direction of Mr.
