WILL. EXHIBIT FINE STOCK.
Evan Mccall to Send Big Show Herd
TO New iberia Fair.

Two carloads Of thoroughbred Du-
roc-J ersey hogs and Shorthorn cat
| tie will be shipped next Tuesday from
Evan McCall's modern stock farm on
Evan Hall plantation, known far and
wide as one of the countfy's finest,
for exhibition at the New iberia fair,
Sept. "a to rs, inclusive. Mr.. Nc
Call will send to New Iberia show
herd of Durocs sufficiently large to
fill all classes, and the judges of the
swine department at the big Teche
fair will have the privilege of being
the first to pass upon the merits of
this notable array of blue-blooded
stock, which will afterward be en-
tered in the Houna, Donaldsonville
(rnd Baton Rouge fairs, and the state
fairs OF Louisiana and Mississippi at
Shreveport and jackson, respective
ly. At these shows the Mccall herd
will come in competition with the
cream Of the Duroc-Jersey breed
from all parts Of Louisiana and other
young Ascension breeder is confident
states as well, but the progressive
that his entries will hold their own in
any company and carry off a full
share of the honors.
All the best strains of the popular
Duroc-Jersey type are represented in
the Mccall herd, which includes such
famous sires as Louisiana Defender,
Coils Model Cherry and Col. Again
H., whose ancestry in turn contains
representatives Of the blood most
sought after in Duroc breeding.
Among the sows will be seen Howard
Lass, grand champion sow of the 1914
South Louisiana Fair at Donaldson
Vile, and winner Of a great many
frsts at other fairs throughout the
state last year.
In addition to his exhibit of Du-
Jerseys, Mr.. Mccall will display
in the cattle department registered
Shorthorns from his pedigreed herd,
which is headed by the renowned
champion, Watson.
Taken as a whole, the Mccall eX-
hibit will doubtless prove one of the
finest and most complete in the live
stock department of the New Iberia
fair, and should afford convincing
proof of the wonderful possibilities
of this section for the raising of high
gIdu0 SWINE anu CdGLlc. Although
comparatively new in the breeding
game, Mr.. Mccall has already accom-
plished notable results and done some
effective work for the betterment of
the live stock industry of south Lou
isiana, as all who make it a point to
view his exhibit at the New Iberia
and other fairs will doubtless be dis
posed to testify.

WHEREAS, It has pleased the Almighty
WV in His inscrutable wisdom to take from
among friend and colleague,
Victor Maurin; and
Whereas. the vacancy in our membership
caused by his untimely passing away can
not but be an irreparable loss to the Of
fetal personnel Of this corporation; there
fore be it
Resolved. that Victor Maurin has left be-
hind him record which merits public rec
ognition and emulation. An exemp1ar and a
model in all relations of life as son, hus-
band, father, friend, citizen and Christian
his career noby fulfilled all the require
msnts of honor and duty and may be safely
commended as an example to his contempo-
raries and to posterity. To those of US who
enjoyed personal as well as business inter-
course with him, his character presents for
consideration very many noble traits, chief
among which were his profound integrity and
his responsive attitude to the call of duty
under all circumstances, however trying.
He was Christian gentleman, an honor
able citizen, and true and faithful friend
whose good qualities were acclaimed and
recognized, and whose untimely demise will
be universally deplored.
Be it further resolved. that we extend to
the bereaved mother. wife, daughters,
brothers and sister heartfelt sympathy
and coincidence in this, their hour of ordeal
and tribulation: and that we mourn with
them the loss of one whom we all revered
and whose memory will ever be fondly
cherished in our hearts. Respectfully,

THE WAR IN EUROPE.

Germany continues her successful
drive against the Russians, but the
movement seems to have lost much
of it's force and the rate of progress
shows a steady decrease. The prlIlcl-
pal objective of the victorious leu
! tons is apparently the capture OF III
/ ga, the important Russian naval base
on the Baltic Sea.
Grand Duke Nicholas has been su-
perseded by the car himself as COM
mander in chief of the Russian ar
mics, the grand duke having been
transferred to the Caucasus region,
where he will have the direction OF
the war against the Turks, Almost
| simultaneously with the announce
ment of this important change, the
Russians began to check and beat
back the advancing Austrlans IN the
Galician section of the great eastern
war theatre, giving rise to the hope
among the Russians and their allies
Of an impending ebb in the tide OF
battle.
The situation in the western thea
tire has undergone no material change.
Violent artillery duels are frequent
along the line in Belgium, France and
Alsace, with occasional infantry at
tacks in which first one side and then
the other gains temporary succ esses.
The Italian invasion of Austria pro-
ceeds slowly, and so does the cam
paign of the allies against Turkey in
the Dardanelles, where fighting of
great severity has taken place, with
heavy losses on both sides.
The Balkan situation is still in
definite and precarious. Turkey and
Bulgaria 4Jfssue concluded a treaty by
which cen. aed territory and an i'm
portant railway line have been ceded
to Bulgaria, manifestly for the pur-
pose of securing the friendly neutral
ity of that country. Serbia offered to
cede a part of the disputed Mace
donia province to Bulgaria in order
TO mold the latter in the Balkan al
lance, but Bulgaria preferred to ac-
cept the Turkish concessions The
prospect now is that. if a Balkan
break comes, it will find Roumania,
Serbia, Greece and Montenegro on
the side Of the entente allies and Bull
garia joined with the Teutonic-Tur
kish combination.
Submarines and aeroplanes are
playing prominent part in the
hostilities, but these modern devices
for the destruction of life and prop
erty find most of their victims among
women, children and non-combatants.
The war seems sure to last at least
another year, and how much longer
nobody can foretell

RICE MILL CLOSES DOWN.
Operations Permanently Suspended
Owing to Attitude of Growers.

The seasons run of the Donaldson
vile rice mill was terminated at about
2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon,
hand was turned out in marketable
shape. Operations were commenced
the morning of Aug. 81, and during
the greater portion of the two weeks
run the plant was at work day and
night, q total of approximately 25,-
900 bags of rice having been handled.
The crew in charge of the mill was
made up for the most part Of salaried
employees Of the Louisiana State
Rice Milling Company who were as
sembled here from other plants in
the state belonging to this concern,
and they have received instructions
to return to their original locations.
The closing down of the rice mill
virtually at the outset Of the mill
ing season is a keen disappointment
both to the rice growers of this sec
ton and to the business interests of
Donaldsonville and vicinity, which
benefited through the placing in cir
culation of the cash represented in
the payroll of the big plant. The
opening of the mill this season fol-
lowed a two-year period Of idleness,
and as greatly enlarged acreage had
been cultivated in rice throughout
this section, it was believed that a
sufficient supply of the cereal would
be obtainable to keep the plant at
work for an extended period. How
ever, dissatisfaction soon arose over
the prices offered for rice and many
of the growers declined to accept the
quotations of the local mill, pre-
ferring to ship their rice into New
Orleans or to hold it pending a rise
in the market
Officials of the Louisiana State
Company claim that the producers de-
mand the same price for their rice as
is quoted on the New Orleans mar
ket, Notwithstanding the fact that
rice shipped into that city is subject
to freight, brokerage and other
charges, which must necessarily be
considered in fixing the value of
the cereal when bought outright on
the plantation or delivered to the
Donaldsonville mill.
The growers, on the other hand,
claim that the differential in price
established by the milling company
was inequitable, and by declining to
sell brought about a situation which
resulted in the closing down Of the
local mill.

Death of Mrs. r. j. Ryb;sk;

Mrs. F. ]. Rybiski, nee Marie JOS
ephine Ferchaud, died at the family
residence in Houmas street at 5:55
o'clock last Sunday morning. Mrs.
Rybiski had been in bad health for a
long time, but her death came with
out warning and was shock to her
family and friends. The funeral took
place Monday, services being held at
the Catholic church at z o'clock a.
m, after which the remains were con-
veyed to st. James for interment,
Mrs. Rybiski having been native Of
St. James parish. She is survived by
her husband, two children, Maurice
and Adele Rybiski; two sisters, Mrs.
Clement serre, Of barrow, and Mrs.
Donberger, of New Orleans; and two

James, and Edward Ferchaud, Of New

Makes Fine Rice Crop.

One of the best rice crops pro.
duced in this section was harvested
by R. E. Noel. of McManor planta-
ton, who reports a yield Of approx
mately 1000 sacks from $50 acres,
an average of 151s sacks per acre.
From some portions Of his acreage
Mr.. Noel obtained as high as Is to
10 sacks per acre, which is an ex-
cellent yield indeed and one that
comparatively few rice planters of
the river region can boast of this
season. Mr.. Noel cultivated 200
acres in rice on his McManor place
and $50 acres on the adjoining Evan
Hall plantation, and has stored the
bulk of his crop in anticipation Of
higher prices later on.

Governors Decision Expected Soon

Mayor Walter Lemann recently
addressed letter to Gov. Hall, in
curing as to when the governor ex-
pected to reach a decision on the
question put up to him by the joint
organization of the Atchafalaya and

matter at the meeting held here July
10 last, and in accordance with the
law governing the joint organization

have been reviewed by the chief ex-
ecutive, and that a statement from
the latter will be made public in the
