No Matter How Much or How Little You Have
10 Spend You Can Always Find the Kind
of Book You Want at the Price
You Want to Pay.
The early misgivings Of publishers and
booksellers as to the effect of the war upon
the book trade have already proved UN-
FOUNDED.
Books as holiday gifts promise to be
MORE POPULAR than ever
There Is precedent in history for this pre-
diction for ii was Immediately after the war
Of 1870 that the French publishing business
and book trade began to take its flight.
France discovered the book as an entertain
ing and informing companion during the
long evenings spent quietly at home. 1t re-
discovered its traditional taste for literature,
and cultivated it. the least costly and most
renumerative Of all luxuries Of civilization.
America is NOW in the condition Of
France after 1871. 1t is recovering from the
effects Of a war which it has felt, though it
has no share in it; undoubtedly it will dur
ing its period Of recovery turn to books for
entertainment
Too much stress has perhaps been laid
of recent years upon the instructive feature
threading. It is time to insist upon its value
as recreation.
This busy generation needs relaxation
after the days work according to its taste,
which may turn to the literature Of the new
democracy, the stored riches Of an encyclo-
peedia, amateur astronomy or exploration,
or to the latest best seller.
For there are GOOD best sellers.

and Duluth Board of Trade Fix
Price of Wheat in Northwest.

Washington. Feb. 20.--A resolution
directing that congress investigate
boards of trade at Minneapolis, Du
luth and Chicago, to ascertain wheth
er they are combination in restraint
of trade. was introduced by Repre-
sentative Manahan of Minnesota.
In the preamble of the resolution
Mr.. Manahan sets forth that these
three organizations are combined sc
as to control the price of wheat in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law.
1T is charged and generally be-
lieved," says the Manahan resolution
that the price of wheat offered the
farmers as we'll as the cost of -four to
the consumers, is largely controlled
by the Chicago board of trade, the
chamber of commerce of Minneapolis
and the board of trade of Duluth, act
ing in combination.
That the board of trade in Chicago
Is monopoly and exercises complete
control in its market: and the cham
ber of commerce in Minneapolis is q
monopoly, dominating and controlling
that market. and prices paid for wheat
from day to day.
Price of Wheat Fixed.
The Duluth board OF trade" says
the resolution, controls the Duluth
market and operates in conjunction
with the Chicago board of trade and
the Minneapolis chamber OF commerce
In fixing the price of wheat for the
Northwest"
The Manahan resolution further sets
forth that each of these organizations
is created under state laws that make
them self governing and enable them
to exercise arbitrary control over all
traders operating with them
The resolution also alleges that
members of the three boards of trade
conceal the record of losses sustain
ed by spectators and refuse to ex
hibit their books to state officials.
The proposed investigation is to be
made by a selected committee oi
seven members to be appointed by
the speaker. which shall investigate
not only the above charges, but also
whether or not members of such ex
changes are given rebates or other
fayors by any railroads.

Registration of Births and Deaths.


DR.. Paul T. Thibodaux has been
appointed by the State Board of
Health registrar of births and deaths
for this district, and has named DR..
T. FL. Hanson to assist him in car
rying on the important work. 1t is
required by law that all births and
deaths shall be registered, under
penalty OF a fine of from $40 to $500,
and as registration is offered free,
there is absolutely no reason why
every body should not cooperate in
the compilation of these very neces-
sary statistics.
The Official recordation of the
birth of their children is duty
parents owe to themselves and to
the helpless infants, as well as to
the community in which they live,
and all good citizens should make it
point to acquit themselves of the
obligation resting upon them in this
particular. It is very essential also
that an accurate record of deaths
be compiled, since statistics of this
kind play an important part in safe
guarding the life and health of the
public, and in the more material mat
ter of attracting new residents to
the community.
Further information on this sub
ject will be cheerfully furnished by
Dr. Thibodaux or DR.. Hanson, and
from time to time the vital statis-
tics thus compiled will be published
in this paper.

Misses Gre and Michel announce
the formal opening of their display
of Easter millinery at their Specially
Store in Railroad avenue, and cor
daily invite the ladies to call and
look over the beautiful assortment of
fashionable hats and trimmings that
are exhibited for their consideration.
Miss Amelie Gre, manager of the
ablishment, recently spent several
weeks in New Orleans attending the
lectures and witnessing the demon
strations by Prof. Ora Cne, the eoun-
try's most famous millinery artist,
and in this way acquired a fund o
knowledge and ideas that, coupled
with her natural talent and previous
extensive experience. qualify her as
an expert in the millinery art, as
can be testified to by the many
pleased patrons of the popular Spe-
cialty establishment. The display Of
Easter millinery comprises many
dainty and artistic creations in fem
mime headwear, including the very
latest New York and Paris styles,
and a mere inspection of the large
and elegant stock will afford much
interest and pleasure.

Flood Dancer small.

General absence of rain and high
temperatures the past week has
eliminated danger of high waters and
floods from melting snow, according
to the United States Weather Bu-
reau. A special bulletin issued Tues
day said SHOW had disappeared ex-
cept ia the more elevated districts
of the country, and that ice had gone
out of the principal rivers, with a
few exceptions, without causing
marked rises. The outlook for fair
weather is good, and the temperature
from this time ON will be- favorable
to a gradual thaWing of the little re-
naming snow and ice.
The river. at this point, after rising
a few feet and then receding to near
ly it's former level, has been station
ary for the past several days, and
there seems to be no reason to ap-
prehend a dangerously high stage OF
water this spring.

Labor AGENTS NOT Wanted.

Owing to the fact that the decision
of the Miles Company not to operate
it's plantations this year would throw
a certain amount o. labor out OF
employment, a number of labor
agents have been attracted to this
section, with the result that several
hundred field hands have been re-
moved to. other portions of the state.
The surplus supply of labor having
been exhausted, and the agents still
being active in certain communities,
the planters are beginning to resent
this intrusion, and it will be wise
or these agents to stay away from
Ascension and Assumption parishes,
otherwise trouble is almost certain
to ensue.
For results, advertise in The Chief.

Local Banks Respond to Call for
Statements,

In response to the call issued by
w. T.. Young, state bank examiner,
for a report of the condition OF the
state banks at the close of business
on March II, the Bank of Ascension
published sworn statement of its
condition last Saturday, and the
Peoples Bank does likewise today
Not having been officially notified
by anyone in authority of the re-
moval of Mr.. Young as state bank
examiner, the local banks deemed it
incumbent upon them to comply with
call for a report of their condi-
ton, which came to them in regular
form from the state banking de-
partment: and if q similar call is is
sued by the new examiner. they will
furnish him with statement also.
This policy viii be maintained until
the issue between Mr.. Young and
the governor has been settled in the
courts and the status of the former
official definitely determined.
