new PLAN URGED TO
GIVE FARMERS RELIEF
Government Asked To Buy
Cotton and Maintain Price
of Ten Cents.

A new plan for relieving the
cotton industry in the present
war emergency, by authorizing
the federal government to pur-
chase and hold cotton in sufficient
quantities to maintain a market
grice of ten cents a pound, was
proposed in a bill introduced
Monday by Representative Me
Keller, of Tennessee. The
measure would authorize the
president to create a bureau in
one of the administrative depart
ments to undertake the work Of
price maintenance through pur-
chases and sales at its discretion.
Concurrent action by the cot
ton growing states is contemplat
ed by the bureau, which provid-
ed that whenever any state or
ganization or Individual shall pro-
vide a fund of $500, 900 to buy
a cotton warehouse and insure it
and agree to hold it for ten cents
a pound, a similar sum will be
invested by the federal govern
ment.
A government loan ofS500, 600
900 to cotton farmers at the rate
of $35 on a bale was advocated
before the house banking and
currency committee by southern
congress smen and representatives
of the national farmers union.
Representative Henry Of Texas,
one Of those who favored Il loan
urged the committee to put a
stop to issuance of emergency
currency, which he said would
not help the people in distress.
MI. Henry said banks in the
south were withholding the
emergency currency from cotton
farmers who needed immediate
help. He wanted the money ap-
portioned among the southern
states according to the cotton
production in 1918 and suggested
the loans be made through banks
or by postmasters.

Bennett Buys Ten Bales.

B. Bennett, a prominent whole
sale and retail merchant of this
city, has purchased ten bales and
is preparing to buy a few more.
Mr.. Bennett realizes that the
farmers of St. Landry need help
in order to dispose of their cot
ton crop and consequently
bought ten bales during last
week from his customers. With
the exception of two of these
bales Mr.. Bennett paid ten cents
per pound, for the two bales he
paid Is cents.
Mr.. Bennett is of the opinion
hat if all the merchants of this
city would help their customers
dispose of their crop by purchas-
ing a few bales at ten cents a
pound financial conditions would
soon be normal once more in St.
Landry parish.

ST. LANDRY SCHOOLS
OPENED ON MONDAY
Local SchsoI Only One In
Parish Not to Open on
Time.

All the schools of St. Landry
parish, with the exception of the
St. Landry High School, of this
city, threw open their doors to
thousands of st. Landry youths,
on last Monday morning, Sep
TENDER 21st.
On account of the furniture
for the modern and up-to-date
school house, which was com
pleted only during the beginning
of summer, local school children
we're unable to attend school at
the same time with those
throughout the parish. Super
intendent C. J. Thompson, how
ever, stated during the week,
that everything would be at
tempted to place all the school
furniture so that the local high
school could be opened on
Monday morning, October 9Th.
Reports from various sections
of the parish are to the effect
that all the public schools opened
with a very large attendance and
prospects for a most successful
session loom high. The coterle
of st. Landry teachers is consid-
cred the best ever, and Superin-
tendent Thompson, assisted by
the school board members, left
no stone unturned to employ the
best possible teachers for the
sons and daughters Of old st.
Landry.

DON'T TAKE WHONG MEDICINE

Il your liver gets lazy you
need a liver tonic, not merely a
laxative for the bowels. Many
people take a simple laxative
when the liver gets sluggish
rather than take caIomel, which
they know to be dangerous. But
a mere laxative will not start a
sluggish liver. What is needed
is a tonic that will liven up the
liver without forcing you to stay
at home and lose a day from
your work.
You have such a tonic in Dod-
sons Liver Tone. Dodson's
Liver Tone is all that is claimed
for it, because the druggists who
sell it agree to hand back the
money with a smile, to any per-
son not satisfied with the relief
Dodson's gives.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a vege-
table liquid with a very pleasant
taste and is a prompt and relI-
able remedy fer constipation,
biliousness, sour stomach and
torpid liver.
Shute's Drugstore gives it
their personal guarantee. Large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone is
only so cents. For children or
grown people it is the ideal med
icine. Try it on the guarantee.

Southwestern
Reflections

iO w
sweet potato crop this season,
farmers are advised to defer dig
ging them for a time in order
that they may attain full matur-
ity, when they may be dug and
stored until December, Or Janu-
airy.
Tn order to get the advantage
of the early market pumpkin
vans vines should be planted
during the last of April and first
Of May; then they will mature
by August, when the market is
always good. This year the
vines were planted late and a
back season put the harvest sea-
son beyond the time when Texas
and Georgia potatoes glutted the
market.
People seldom get good out OF
war, but this year the sugar
planters and rice planters are
beneficiaries of the great Euro
pean conflict. You know, peo-
pie who shoulder heavy guns in
trenches or on the march all day
long trying to let daylight
through the bodies Of their fell
low-men, are bound to eat; and
nothing is more certain than
when they are fighting they are
not making crops.
Likewise when they are romp-
ing all over their wheat fields
and fertilizing them with human
gore, they are making nothing
and destroying what they have.
So. we farmers, have the
Christian duty imposed upon US
of feeding the fighters of Europe
and their families. How many
European soldiers is the South
west Louisiana farmer going to
feed out of his present years
crop? Suppose we had-as we
ought to have-twenty million
pounds of pork products and an
equal amount of beef and NUT
ton to sell to Europe this fall and
winter; wouldn't it be fine?
Can anybody give a sane rea-
son why we haven't these things
now? Indifference. 1t can't
be done" 1T pays better to
grow cotton or sugar cane or
rice. But does it? Of course
it doesn't. Look at the West,
riding in automobiles and living
in markle palaces on the profits
reaped from the tin can crops
which they sell to the Southwest
Louisiana farmer. It's time to
wake up. plant corn; plant oats;
plant forage crops; build silos;
build dipping watts: raise a mil
lion thoroughbred pigs in South
west Louisiana next year and a
million graded cattle. It
can be done; it should be done.

trict.
WHAT TO DO AFTER THE
PEOPLE
l. Teachers and pupils should
sing a few patriotic songs.
2. The principal this applies
to one-teacher schools. as we'll as
to larger schools) or a citizen
should explain the effect Of the
European War upon the cotton
market, the tremendous losses
and hardships that the Southern
cotton farmers are facing, and
the relief offered by the Buy-a-
Bale movement.
3. Have a pupil demonstrate
on the blackboard the loss that
the South will suffer, if it sells
it's cotton crop at the present
market price, placing the crop
at fourteen million 500 pound
bales, and taking ten cents as
the standard price Of cotton.
ANY daily newspaper will give
the market price,
4. If any chambers of COM
merce or other organizations IN
the parish are promoting the
Buy-a-Bale movement, the prln-
cipal should write the names OF
the officers on the blackboard for
the information of the citizens
present. If no organizations IN
the parish are pushing the move
ment, the superintendent should
get in touch with all the cham
bers of commerce in his parish
and urge them to take lmmed1-
ate action.
5. Each farmer present
should give in a statement show
ing the number Of bales of cot
ton he has or will have. the num-
Der he can hold, and the number
he finds it absolutely necessary
to sell at once. The superintend-
ents should prepare the blanks
for these statements.
The blank forms should have
spaces for name, post office, bales
owned, bales the farmer will
hold, and the bales the farmer
wishes to sell at ten cents a
pound.
When the blanks have been
properly filled out, the principal
should collect them and send
them to the superintendent, who
should tabulate the information
and furnish it to the organiza-
tions in his parish which are
pushing the Buy-a-Bale move
ment, or in the absence Of such
organizations in his parish, to
the nearest organization known
to him.
6. All persons present own
ing cotton should sign an agree
ment to the effect that they will
sell no cotton CHASING middling
for less than ten cents a pound.
This signed agreement should be
turned in to the superintendent
and by him published in the par
ish papers.
7. Each cotton farmer pres
ent should sign an agreement to
the effect that next year he will
not plant more than a certain
Of acres IN cotton, re
ducing the acreage where the
acreage heretofore was large.

present prices, the suffering re-
sultlng from the loss cannot be
estimated. There is NJ need for
the loss. There are sufficient
numbers of patriotic citizens
with surplus money to buy at ten
cents a pound the cotton which
the farmers must sell, and to
hold same until the senseIess
war now raging in Europe has
closed, and cotton prices have
become normal, provided they
can be placed in touch with the
people who have cotton to sell.
The schools can gather in a few
days the necessary information
and | shall be very much disap-
pointed IT superintendent and
teachers fail to give their hearty,
enthusiastic support to the sug-
gestions contained in this letter.

EFFORTS ARE REDOUBLED
Washington Officials Anxious to Bring
About Peace.

Washington, July 20.-Efforts aimed
at restoration of peace in Mexico were
redoubled by administration officials.
They were in direct communication
with Carranza, urging him to pro-
claim general amnesty for political
offenders, and in touch with Zapata,
whose forces frequently have appear
ed almost at the gates of the capital
1t is hoped to bring Zapata into
harmony with the peace program
which contemplates the quiet trans
fer of power from Francisco Carbajal
Huerta's successor, to the Constitu
tionalists.
Carbajal, it is believed, is ready to
surrender his office at the earliest op
portunity. In his address to the rep
resentatives of the powers at Mexico
City he reiterated that he had no per
sonal motives aside from helping tC
put his country's affairs in order.
General Carranza, the Constitution
alist chief, has sent a commission to
Celaya to meet the three commission
ers sent from Mexico City by Carba
jail with authority to arrange for the
transfer Of authority to the Constitu
tionalists.

the system is brought, and ask the
courts to force the New Haven to
make a conditional sale Of its Bos-

Massac2# it's now has the right to
buy the stock at amy time. In recent
legislation it preserved that right, but
gave permission to the New Haven to
sell.
The New Haven board of directors
refused to accept that legislation and
now Massachusetts is understood to
be fearful lest that right be endan-
