THE WEATHER REPORT

The Review begs to call the at
tention of its readers to the monthly
weather report submitted in each
daily and weekly issue following the
end of the current months. These re-
cords from part of the data accu-
INFLATED by the United States Wealth
er Bureau, and the facts contained
therein are authentic, and so taken
by the Federal Government. 1t
might be suggested that these rec
ords would form valuable assets for
farmers in the future, when it might
become desirable to refer to weather
conditions of the past. We would be
glad to furnish copies to those who
wish to preserve these records, The
Review will endeavor to furnish
monthly reports in the future as it
has done during it's re-organized
existence The data is interesting
and we'll worth preserving.

" gather Report For Month
Ending November 50

Fortunately for the farmers, and
others interested in this section, the
wild antics started by the Weather
Man along about the middle of Nov
ember were neutralized by favorable
conditions existing after the freeze
on the night Of the 14th, when it was
at first thought thousands of dollars
in damage was done to the cane
crops Of this vicinity. The month
started off with clear and warm days
and nights which favored further de-
velopments of very large cane
crop. On the 18th, however, start
ling warnings were sent broadcast
over Louisiana, indicating heavy
freeze and big drop in the Their
mometer.
The freeze and the drop both
materialized on the night Of the 14th
when the mercury registered 30. The
following three days were equally as
cold, with 2S degrees on the night Of
the 10th. Luck favored the agricul-
tural interests and the days remain
ed cold up to the 21st, when it turn
ed warm, with indications Of rain. A
half inch in rain fell on the 23rd,
after the weather remained cool, to
the delight of farmers. The very best
Prophet of all, Mr.. "Hindsight," now
tells us that the freeze and weather
conditions incidental threeto did
comparatively little damage to the
cane and other crops, if we except
turnips, most of which were killed,
contrary to general expectations,
and much to the discomfort of the
Rabbit tribe
Reports on weather conditions
during the past six months have been
encouraging, almost to the extreme,
and November came very near up
setting all previous good accomplish
ed by favorable weather conditions.
However, the prospects for bumper
harvest are yet good, while prevail

European War, are still good and

operations by the farmer.

Morgan City High School stepped,
walked and ran over the ST. Martin
vile team yesterday afternoon at
the local gridlron. From the first
minute of play there was no
doubt as to the result. of the game
and the spectators began figuring
the probable score.
Coburn In Limelight
Morgan City has a small shap as
football players go, named Coburn.
The lineup says that he plays right
end, but eleven weary st. Martin
vile players can, swear, certify or
affirm that he plays all over the
field. He is as fast as lightning and
best of all he has foot ball sense and
follows the play and the ball every
moment Of the game. 1t he goes to
college and gets the benefit of the
proper coaching there is no doubt
that he will be numbered among the
best men Of his day.
| Outside of making three touch
downs from forward passes, tackling
numerous visiting players behind
their own line Of scrimmage fur
nishing perfect interference for his
own men and stopping St. Martin
vile plays ticketed via his end with
clock work precision, this said Co.
burn lad did nothing much tall.
Running a close second to Coburn
in the lime light was Quarterback
Dyer. His passing was almost per-
feet and he registered many substan-
tial gains.
Moncrief and Toerner also showed
up unusually well, and the other
seven men while not in the lime
light kept plugging away and did
good work.
Just, once-for about two minutes
just before the final whistle it look
ed as though the local school had
spilled the onions and that the goal
line which had been so well guarded
throughout the season might be
crossed by the visitors. st. Martin
vile punted from midfield and re-
covered when Morgan City safety
man fumbled on his own ten yard
line. But St. Martinville tried the
line four times and when the ball
was uncovered after the fourth buck
it lacked foot making first down.
Morgan City took the ball and after
one play the whistle blew for time
and the game was over.
St. Martinville had bad case of
stage fright in the first quarter and
Morgan City had three touchdowns
and twenty points before they woke
up. But they were not cutters and
after they realized that they had to
at least try to get the man with the
ball they did try and the more they
tried the better they got with the re-
suit that the locals only secured two
more touchdowns, one in the second
period and one in the last.
How it Happened
After cheers for both teams by
the pretty girls, st. Martinville
kicked off. Dyer fumbled but re-
covered on % yard line. On the first
play Dyer again fumbled and st.
Martinville got the ball St. Martin
vile tried the line twice with no
gain and then a pass over right end
failed. They tried the aerial route
again and it fell into the hands of

a Morgan City man. On the first play
, Dyer skirted left end and fought his
way through the entire St Martin

70 yard run. Morgan City punted
out and kicked goal Score NJ c. 7

St. Martinville ran back Is three
attacks on the line and one off tackle

Moncrief sprinted around right end
35 yards and planted the ball be-
tween the goal posts. The try at goal
failed. Score M. c. 10, S. M. 0.
The kick went out of bounds and
the ball as brought back for a.
mother try. This time Dyer boot sail
ed to the five yard line. st. Martin
vile returned to the Is yard line. A
forward pass failed. Another pass
went true to form and St. Martin
vile gained 20 yards and first down.
The Morgan City line held and St.
Martinville punted 20 yards to Dy
err. At this time Coburn stepped into
the limelight by running 65 yards
for a touchdown with forward
pass. Goal was kicked. Score Morgan
City 20, St. Martinville 0.
St. Martinville kicked off and after
one play time was called.
Second Quarter
On the first play Coburn went
over with a forward pass. The try at
the goal went wide. Score Morgan
City &c, St. Martinville O. For the
balance of the half the ball alterna-
ted and neither goal line was in dan
ger. After this period ST. Martin
vile rallied and played better ball.
In the third session Morgan City
introduced our old friend the criss
cross number of times, but evident
ly St. Martinville had met it before
as it failed to gain. Both teams re-
sorted to the aerial route in this
period. Morgan City completing one
pass for twelve yards.
In the final quarter Morgan City
worked the ball to the Is yard line
by line plunges and end runs and as
they decided they needed another
touchdown a forward pass was call
ed with Coburn doing the honors.
OF course he was there and six more
points was chalked up for the home
team. The punt out was fizzle and
Morgan City lost right to kick goal
Score NJ. C. 80, S. M. 0.
St. Martinville caused a feeling of
uneasiness among the rooters when
they worked the ball almost to the
Morgan City goal. They saw visions
of perfect season spoiled in the last
moments of play by tumble. But
as before mentioned the St. Martin
vile quarterback made the mistake
Of sending four plays through the
middle of the line and their only
chance for distinction was gone.

PUBLIC DEMAND FOR
GRANT SIX IS GREAT
Popular Priced Six-Cylin-
der Car Is Big Favorite
This Year

The Grant Motor company of Findlay
O., is on a tremendous wave of prosperity
Ever since the company was organized
two years ago. it's factory has beer
rushed to it's maximum capacity. Just re
Gently additions to the factory exceeding
5000 square feet were announced. At al
the auto shows it's product is making 6
great hit
When the first Grant six-cylinder cal
was announced for the then extraordinary
low price, $795, it was said that a car
with such specifications could not be
built for any such price and the manu-
facturers continue in business, but the

by Vice President George A. Salzman

cylinder car the first year it was an
nounced, but in its second year is manu-
featuring these on the basis of 10000 cars
a year. bringing it up into the front
ranks of the big producers.
The Grant company made money the
first year it was in business, and has
the reputation of enjoying extraordinary
low overhead cost. 1t is the theory of
excessive overhead usually begins in the
office with large salaries paid to officials
of the company. "In the Grant company
every executive is a stakeholder in the
company" says Sales Manager George S.
Waite, land these men are willing to,
and do work for small salaries, preferring
to earn their money on the dividends
after they have actually made it. The
idea of the Grant organization is the
ldp1-a Of
working together with common purpose
with mutual interest and respect for each
other, aiming at a common end-to build
the best car in the world for the money"
I'VE need no argument, however, TO
prove the success of this policy" con-
tinued Mr.. Waite, because the Grant
Six for 1916 is a practical expression of
the possibilities of the idea. The fact
that the public is demanding Grant Skies
at the rate of 10000 cars year, clearly
indicates wide appreciation of Grant
value"

tion," said President j. Walter Drake of
the Detroit concern. From the incep-
ton of the Hupp Motor Car corporation
we have always exerted our efforts to-
wards putting on the market a car of

it's which we might have had for the
sake of building a car of the highest

a car with a reputation and from our
first model to our present series IN we
have succeeded in doing so.
1.-THE first runabout produced early in
1909 was the first low priced car into
which were put the high grade material
and parts used in only the most ex-
pensive cars. In fact, some of the parts
used in our first cars were adopted from
the foreign makers and other Amer
lean manufacturers followed our lead
AS in the first model so in every one
since we have used only the best ma :

deal of money in experimental and de-
veiopment work and have done elaborate
testing of our cars before we put them
out We have always been on the look
out for those things which might i'm
prove the quality of our car. We have
always stood for undermining and making
the business conform to the best pos

Our financial policy, together with the
business policy, has been not to make
large profits per car, but to put the
money into the car itself and giving the

WHY'S and Company
Officials

A big special train, made up entirely of
Pullman coaches, dining and buffet rs,
which pulled out of Minneapolis early
board. arrived in Toledo, o., early last
Thursday morning.
These men, with f. N Coats, manager
of the Overland Minneapolis sales zone,
in charge of the dealers special, are from
different parts of the northwest in which
their respective territories are located.
They came to the home of the Overland
in Toledo as guests of John N. WHY'S.
president of the Wilys-OverIand COM
pany.
Realizing that it is enthusiasm which
moves such an enormous production of
automobiles as the Overland, and that this
force can best be fostered in the breast
of every man by visit to the Overland
factory, the officials of the WillysOver-
land company charterd a special train to
bring this small army of dealers to the
great plant here in Toledo, where Over
land cars are manufactured.
While these men are all enthusiastic
Overland dealers, many of whom have
piled up big selling records, there are a
number among them who. at this time are
paying their first visit to the Overland
factory. And for that very reason it is
all the more impressive. Others who were
here within only the last year are as
tonished at the enormous additions which
have been made to the plant
AS soon as the Overland dealers special
arrived, it was switched on to a private
track right in the Overland factory where
the guests were welcomed by company

The automobile business is composed of

BLACK TIRES MEAN
| ANOTHER INDUSTRY
Chief Chemist of Goodyear
Co. Talks Interestingly
About Lamp Black"

''Since black tires have entered the
only by the use of old-fashioned lamp
black, another industry has come to the
front" says the chief chemist of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber company in a
recent statement.
Formerly lampblack was used only to
color paints polshes and the like. The
average paint manufacturer made his
own. But since rubber manufacturers
have been purchasing large quantities of
it to use in coloring tires, a great, new
market has opened UP, and lampblacl< is
made on much larger scale than for
merly.
'Lampblack, chemically, is pure car
bon though somewhat different in it's APP
pearance and effect upon surroundings
than the diamond, which is also pure
carbon in another form.
Formerly there were nearly a dozen
kinds of lampblack; ivory lampblack,
made by burning ivory, and other varie-
ties made by burning vegetable or ami
NAL oils. Any oil refuse, burned to COM
plete combustion made lampblack as one
product.
Now there are practically only two
kinds-gas and oil ampblack-made by
burning natural gas or petroleum oil. And
the process, strangely enough, is just the
same in principle as the old one that
gave lampblacl1 it's name-because 1T was
deposited on lamp chimneys when lamps
burned smokily The West Virginia and
Oklahoma oil fields produce most of the
countrys lampblack now There are two
general processes.
''In one, the oil or gas flame is directed
from below against the outside of a re-
volving steel cylinder. The lampblack is
deposited on the cylinder, and scraped off
by a scraper as the cylinder goes round.
in the other the flame is directed into
series of connecting brick compart-
ments Some lampblack is deposited on
the walls of the first compartment; a
finer and fluffier grade in the next COM
partment as the air carries it along, and
so on to the end
Some difficulty is experienced in rub
Der factories in handling this coloring ma
terial 1t is so light and fluffy that I'M
less the greatest care is taken it spreads
over everything accessible and the work
ers in it's resemble real Ethiopians most
of the time.
"The demand for lampblack for color
ing tires has advanced it's market price
40 per cent in comparatively short time.
nd it is safe to say that no one could now
go on the market and buy the industrys
requirements for the next year. 1t SIM
ply isn't made fast enough.

BIRMINGHAM AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS Is BOOMING
PRISONERS ON ROADS
PROVE BEST WORKERS
of Road Construction In West
Virginia Says Convict Labor On County Roads
Works to the Benefit of All Concerned

l would rather work a crew of prison
ers from the state penitentiary, because I
can secure better results than with any
gang of free labor l ever saw" stated
Philip j. Walsh, general superintendent
of road construction, Kanawha county,
West Virginia.
During 1914-15 Mr. Walsh was in charge
of a camp of % prisoners furnished by
the state to Kanawha county at rs cents
per day of nine hours. The state clothed,
housed, fed and guarded the prisoners,
who were worked entirely under the
honor system and treated like paid labor,
the guards being unarmed.
In report which Mr.. Walsh forwarded
to the national committee on prisons,
camp and road equipment are discussed in
detail. The prisoners, according to the
report. wore the regulation uniform of
the penitentiary, which looks like a mail
carriers uniform for dress up" Khaki
trousers, blue shirt and a straw hat
were used to work in, while the weather
was warm. In winter, the men wore their
gray uniform under a suit of overalls
with heavy wooden stockings, gum shoes,
ear caps and leather mittens. With this
outfit only two days were lost during the
entire winter on account of weather con-
ditions.
