MEET I'm
Proposed to Call Tax Election
In Plaquemine District TO
Raise About $50, 900

Several Of the most enthu-
siastie drainage people OF the
proposed Bayou Plaquemine
Drainage District met in this
city, in the office of the parish
road surveyor, w. B. Robert,
on last Saturday morning, for
the purpose of discussing an
important question, which has
been uppermost in the minds
Of the progressive farmers OF
Plaquemine Point and West
Bellevue for a number of
years.

pants of the meeting were 2.

JUDGE DUPRE AND THE
RATE OF INTEREST
To the Editor Of the Clarion:

To the Editor of the Clarion:
Upon yesterday afternoon,
Mr.. Dudley Guilbeau present
ed me a petition signed by
many voters of the Grand Co
teau neighborhood, who de-
sired to know how I stood and
how / would vote in the mat
ter Of the regulation of the pre-
vailing rate Of interest.
I stated my position very
clearly at the ouset verbally,
and am cheerfully reducing it
to writing.
I believe the legal rate of
interest should remain as it is,
five per cent. Conventional
interest should not under any
circumstances exceed eight per
cent. / will vote for and sup
port any provision providing
the severest penalty for any
violation Of this latter rate.
| might add ZEN PEASANT
that this declaration is not the
enuneiation of anything new
with me. I have always ia
fored legislation limiting the
conventional rate of interest at
eight per cent. To this end,
7 prepared d, assisted by
the late lamented T. S. Fonte-
not, a bill which I had Mr..
Stagg introduce in
the Legislature in 1892 or
1894, to accomplish this pur-
pose.
I went in person to Baton
Rouge and appeared before
the Judiciary Committee Of
the House and argued for its
passage. It was unfavorabIy
reported, the governing rea-
son being planters (not farm
ers) had to borrow money to
carry on their plantations and
this could not be obtained at
less than eight per cent.
My purpose then and now,
was not SO much to assist the
planter, but the small farmer
and that class Of people who
must of necessity borrow mon
ey sometime, and I believed
then as / do now, the lender
should not charge him over
per cent. This is sum-
cient. Beyond this, it is un-
fair and frequently amounts
TO confiscation.
Say to your readers and the
voters of St. Landry, that 7
will support any provision
the legal rate of in
terest at five per cent the con- !,
ventional rate not to exceed
And I will vote to Pc
nalize the money lender who
violates the law. to such an ex-
tent, he will never do 50 more
than once.
I am soliciting office. Ny
people have a right to know
where I stand. / will answer
promptly any question pro-
pounded me, and this without
evasion, without equivocation.
Yours truly,
GILBERT E. DUPRE.

The seedlings are hardened" by increased holding water When ready to trans plant they should be about the size of a lead pencil and rather stocky. The plants are lifted from the seedbed and the roots and tops are both trimmed somewhat.
 Various methods are employed for handling the plants in setting, but one thing is necessary and that Is straight rows-for ease in cultivation. The planting process consists mainly in pushing the root end of the seed ling into the soil with one finger and then firming the soil about the plant This work is very laborious and can only be performed economically by very cheap labor A small blow. such as is usually included with the wheel hoe attachments. is often employed for opening furrow in which to set the small onion plants. As the plants are set the soil is drawn about them by hand. In transplanting, all inferior plants should be rejected, thus insur- ing more perfect stand and develop ment.

Candy Relieves Fatigue.

The value of candy is recognized by military authorities. The British sol diers in France are reported as con. suming "prodigious quantities of sweets" A captain at the front with the British army reports that the can teen has five times the demand for sweets that was expected. and one fifth the demand for beer" The Aus tralians encamped in Egypt have eaten all the chocolate to be had in Cairo.
 Scientists contend the sugar has much food value and is a good sub- stitute for alcohol. Chocolate, for ex- ample, is harmlessly stimulating. Sol diers have discovered what scientists knew before, that sugar, will relieve fatigue quickly and give a sense of sequent depression experienced by strength that Is real without the sub those who use spirits Sugar and can dies are found to be useful not only to the physically tired, but to those who suffer mental exhaustion.-We minister Gazette.

(By D. l.. GRAY)
 The tendency of the Duroc-Jersey breeders is to approach the Poland China type. Originally the Duroc- Jersey was large, coarse animal, but of recent years the object has been to breed out the coarseness of bone. head and ears. While much of the rough ness has been eliminated. still the Duroe-Jerseys are not as refined and compact as the Poland Chinas. In color the Buroe-Jersey is cherry red i. sandy red Is very objectionable to the breeders. When compared with the Berkshire or Poland-Ghina the Duroc- Jersey has head and face longer and eoarser than either of them The ears do not stand erect; they fall for. ward and lie close to the head.
 The Duroc-Jersey Is a more prolific breed than either the Berkshire or the Poland-China.
 Duroc-Jersey sows are good milkers and good mothers The breed is strong and active and can graze over large areas.
 The Chester White is a popular hog in some of the northern states. but In
