St. Landr1ans Witness
Lafayette Fair.

The Lafayette parish fair at
tracted many from St. Landry,
as we'll as from all other neigh
boring parishes and all those
from here who had an %opportuni-
ty to witness the farm exhibits
at Lafayette last week pronounc-
ed the parish fair a huge success.
The various exhibits and de-
partments made splendid show
ing and the farm products OF
Lafayette were represented this
year better than ever, causing.
those St. Landrians, who viewed
them to be a least bit envious, as
this parish was not as lucky in
having a parish fair as its sister
parish, Lafayette.
1t is to be hoped that the ex-
ample of those progressive
farmers and business men of La
fayette will be emulated by the
farmers and business men of st.
Landry, as this parish could
easily afford an annual parish
fair, it being much larger than
Lafayette, without saying that
the farm products are much
more numerous here than in
many other sections of the state.
Opelousas has beautiful grounds,
suitable for a parish fair and it
being centrally located a large
crowd of farmers, not only from
this parish but from other par
ishes would be sure to come to
Opelousas on such an occasion.
All those from here who went
to Lafayette for the fair came
back very enthusiastic and de-
termined to stimulate consider
able interest in the launching of
a permanent fair association in
St. Landry by the fall Of next
year.

cannot be compared with that which
is produced when we know that &C
cording to government statistics

that Mr.. Ford will adopt the Taylor

experiment with unusual interest and
wondering what the outcome will be.
Whatever the outcome is, the expert

making people think. Thinking will

wins out and proves that he can pay

ers all over the country will wonder
why other manufacturers can't do
the same. And they won't be happy
until they get it. Ford's success will
create a wholesome discomfort
among the working class. 1t won't
be so easy to satisfy them with
stone when they ask for bread. 1t
won't be so easy to soft-soap them
by telling them to be good and they
will be happy. 1t won't be so easy to
content them with slavery and mis-
cry on earth by promising them that
they will be happy in heaven, after
they're dead.

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BYN. D. COCHRAN

Politics and Banks.-Suppose it
should turn out that more than one
bank had split the interest on public
funds going TO the public and
another part to some politician with
pull enough to get public deposits for
the banks.
Would the bankers who split the in
terest be any better than the poltti-
clan who swiped part of the split?
Wouldn't everybody interested in
the split be guilty of robbing the pub

ticed the fight being put up by the
Hearst papers to have council force
the 81" railways to tear down that
81" stub on Market street?
l don't know whether it's good
thing for the public or not, but do
know that if Hearst succeeds in get
ting rid of that stub it will make his
property on the northeast corner, of
Madison and Market more valuable.
Market street is unusually wide where
that stub runs up to Madison street;
and if the stub is torn down Hearst
will have bully street in front of the
Market street side of his building.
Lawson has a lot in that vicinity
and expects to put up building for
the Daily News. Just south of Madi-
son street the Journal and Post are
now located on Market.
May be council can fix up a nice
newspaper row there for the papers.
Anyhow, the others are keeping quiet
while Hearst makes the fight. After
it is all over we may find that to help
the newspapers the city has crippled

PREPARATIONS MADE
FOR APPLE SHOW

Preparations are under way for the
Sevenh National Apple Show to be
held at Spokane, November 1921, in
elusive. For championship apples Of
the world $4,000 in prizes will be
awarded. A congress for growers, to
maintain the standard of fruit and to
organize for better prices, will be held.
Thousands of boxes of apples, with the
names of growers and their districts,
will be used IN an eastern advertising
campaign, that the apple may become
known to the American people.
One of the features of the coming
show is a l00-tree contest. The idea
behind this exhibit is two fold. First,
it is intended to show just what north.
western apple lands are capable of pro,
ducing, thereby demonstrating thai
prices for these lands are not high, but
are on an income basis; and secondly
to encourage the grower to put his
business on a business-like footing BY
steadily improving the quality of his
apnles.

COUNTY COURT SIGNS
HIGHWAY PROPOSALS

After a day and hslf's stormy con-
sideTation of the matter. the county
court finally last Friday signed the pro-
posals 10 contractors and specifications
Of the Columbia Highway to be con-
structed in this county submitted TO
them by the State Highway Commits
sion. J. A. Elliott, who will have
charge Of the construction of the road,
Immediately wired State Engineer
Bowlby. and bids on the contracts will
Immediately be advertised for. Amid
the chickering's Of the county officials
and Engineer Elliott. who was accom-
panied by Right of Way Agent 6. b.
Richardson, II seemed on Thursday as
though the county court and the High
way Commission were hOpelessly at
loggerheads. Commissioner Ed Hawkes.
who seemed to be spokesman for the
court, declared that the Commission
had been tardy in supplying the court
with information concerning the high
way contract.
"You have heard Of lightning rod
agents and their contracts" said Mr..
Hawkes. to Engineer Elliott. Now.
we don't want to place you in that
class, but we want TO read every word
of those contracts before we sign
them. never signed but one thing in
my life that had not read, and then it
cost me SAT.
Engineer Elliott declared that the
papers submitted by the Commission
were in every way similar to those
signed by other counties. He asserted
that the county officers could quickly
fsmiliariZe themselves with their pro-
visions.
Despite the fact that the cost of the
survey last winter, under the terms of
the guarantee of S. Benson, will be
refunded to the county, the court de-
clared that the work was too costly,
having been done in the winter months.
MIR. Elliott showed to them that the
survey. having been completed in the
winter, made it possible to have the
road opened up just month earlier.
Engineer Elliott was patient through
most of the session, but allowed his
temper to get the best of him at mo-
ments. at is just case of the words.

made the repeated statement that he
wanted to digest every clause of the
proposael before he signed it.

sections.

is we'll pleased with orchard work. Mr..
Annala, who is a brother of Zachary
and Jacob Annala, came here from
North Dakota. He visited the district
about eleven years ago. He still owns
a wheat ranch in the Dakota country.
II like orchard work" he said last
week. THE fruit grower does not
have to run up against any killing
work. such as the grain man does in
harvest time. The most of his time is
taken up in hand work that does not
utilize all of his energy. And | think
that there is money in fruit farming
for the man who applies himself to his
task and conducts his place economi-
cally."
