Miss Mary Merle. the pretty
daughter of w. F. Merle, wealthy
head of the A. H. Andrews Co., man
ufacturers of school furniture, was
married to Edward A. Loss, 1922 In
dependence boulevard, yesterday, in
ST. Malachi's Church.
This is not society story, nor an
attempt to start a social page. This
is mystery story.
The wedding was a very quiet af-
fair. Even the father of the girl and
the mother of the man were not pres
ent.
When the bridal pair reached the
house, it is reported, the ceremony
which begun so quietly ended in high
excitement
And last evening very sorry look
ing little bride was speeding south
ward toward Texas with her father.
This morning Loss arose early at
the home of his mother at the indie
pendence boulevard address. Before
breakfast he packed up his suitcase.
To his mother he confided that he
might leave town today.
The relatives of the young couple
threw heavy cloud around the we'd
ding.
Mrs. Loss admitted she was not at
the wedding, and that she didn't
know whether her son was going to
follow his wife or not.
The eldest of the remaining daugh-
tiers of Merle was also mysterious
when questioned.
After a talk of several minutes she
finally admitted that her sister had
been married before leaving the city
with her father. She denied that
there had been any trouble between
Loss and her father.
She said her sister merely went to |
Texas with her father because he was
ill. She then referred the reporter to |
her brother, Henry Merle, one of the
heads of the A. H. Andrews firm.

Only small percentage of those

Yet since the new tariff went into effect
there has been a remarkable revision OF
the balance of trade, wherein our produc-
ers and manufacturers sell less abroad
and our consumers buy more foreign
products and manufactures.
Figures may not he interesting, but
they are significant. Let some Of our
tariff tinkerers who have been talk
ing about the iniquities OF a high tariff
and the vast benefits of the low tariff
to the ultimate consumer and to the
producer as WELL give us an explana =
tion of the following:
Between October /, 1913, and April

period the previous year.
In April. 1914. an export balance of

great facts as TO our foreign trade and
our domestic customs tariff is worth
the study of the student of the presnet
democratic times and their causes We
know that the American producer every
where has lost. We have had no dem
onstration of how much the consumer
has gained.

rise from his contemplation of the in
furious effects of the democratic tariff

other states in the completion of our

low the estimates made for the struc-

EARLY PLANTING YIELDS HIGHER
AVERAGE.

The fallacy of planting cotton late
in the season in order to combat the
boil weevil, has been clearly shown by
the demonstration agents of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
in bulletin just issued by the de-
partment.
The tests were made in Louisiana
The north side of Bayou De Glaize
was entirely overhowed early in the
season, forcing the late planting of
cotton in that section The other side
of the bayou was protected by a
strong levee and was not overfowed.
| On the oyerflowed side of the bayou
cotton was planted from May Is to
June 10; on the protected side of the
bayou the cotton was planted in March
and April.
From the fact that this situation
was heralded by the advocates of late
planting as one that would conclusive
! ly prove their contention, the depart
ment's agents were instructed to gath
er careful data regarding the yield Of
cotton in both of these areas.
On the overfiowed side, planted from
May Is to June 10, 113 farmers, good,
bad and Indifferent, working 1885
acres in cotton, averaged 287 .66 pounds
of seed cotton per acre.
| On the unoverflowed side, planted in
March and April, SO farmers, good,
bad and Indifferent, working 1881
acres in cotton, averaged 598.5 pounds
of good cotton per acre.
The year 1913 was one of heavy
weevil infestation.

NEW BANK IN COURSE
Of ORGANIZATION

A well attended public meeting was
held at the court house Thursday
morning for the purpose of bringing
some outsisde capitalists and local
people together in order that definite
conclusions might be reached in the
matter of organizing a bank for this
place.
= Judge Golsan presided at the meet
ing, and Elrie Robinson acted as Sec
retary,3 Judge Golsan briefly outlined
the purpose for which the meeting
was held and pointed out the neces-
sity of a local bank. G.. l.. Plettinger
was called upon and he gave statistics
which tended to show that this parish
still produces a large volume of reve-
nue-producing commodities. He fur
ther pointed out that the people of
this parish were in the position of
having to send their money to banks
away from home, who, when it came
to lending money, favored their own
home people first.
Messrs. VIM. McCausland and K. C.
Smith of the Capital City Bank of
Baton Rouge were present and stated
their connection with the proposed
new bank, MIR. Pye, representing in
terests of the Interstate Bank & Trust
Co. of New Orleans, was also present.
After Messrs. MeCausland and Smith
had made short talks, a subscription
list was opened and $4,000 of the
capital stock of the new bank was
subscribed, positively. 1t was brought
out that there are number of people
in the parish, who were not present,
had signified their intention of sub
scribing for stock in the bank
| A committee consisting of G. l..
Plettinger, G. Folkes and V. M. Jack
son was appointed to solicit the balance
tof the stock subscriptions, and to con-
fer with Mr. Lynn Dinkens, of the In.
terstate Bank C Trust Co., when he
comes to the parish next week.
After tl.eAneeting adjourned, de-
! nghtful l1nch was served iii TIE lobby
of the court house by the ladies of the
parish.
| There is likelihood that the stock
will all be subscribed for within the
next few days. The new bank will be
a National bank, with capital stock
of $25,000 1t will be able to commence
operations within a short time Safter
the stock has been subscribed.
