Sun and Moon Mine
Soon To Be Opened

If deal which is now pending
is finally consummated the famous
old Sun and Moon property will
be reopened.
The Sun and Moon mine has
been and we believe is yet one of
the best mines in the county, and
for it to resume operation will
mea,. much to the entire commun-
ity. 1t can be worked in dozen
or more places, either through the
Argo tunnel or from the surface.
This famous old mine has rec
ord of over one million dollars
worth of ore produced and there
are yet thousands of feet of ground
to be developed, which is certain
to prove as good as that which has
been exploited.

A farmer finds a one-dollar bill
and appropriates it, by right of
discovery, to himself. He goes to
town and pays it to a newspaper
man on what he owed him; the
newspaper man hands it over to a
merchant to settle his account; !;
the merchant pays his meat bill
with it, the butcher pays it back
to the original finder to fnsh pay

After which the farmer takes it to

a counterfeit, and on the ensuing
Sunday puts it into the missionary

ability and dramatic force.

| Il. IT. Martin, the wild de-aWafe agfi-
cultural agent Of Assumption parish,
who conducts d department in the As
sumption Pioneer under the caption
OF Timely Topics for Progressive
Farmers had the following to say
last Saturday:
Last week, Mr.. Vickers, secretary
manager of the South Louisiana Fair
Association, published Il letter in this
paper, urging the farmers OF the par
ish to save samples OF their best pro-
duets for the fall fair. Heretofore,
Assumption parish has practically
been asleep when it comes to making
a good showing at the fair. Only
about five or six farmers have ever
shown an interest in this work. A
large percentage of the exhibits sent
to the fair have won prizes, but the
farmers Of the parish do not take
enough interest, and as a result we
are represented only by very few
products. Why not get together and
make the South Louisiana Fair take
notice of Assumptions products, and
! not let lberville parish walk away
with $3.50 every year. Don't you
think Assumption parish can grow
better cane, rice, cotton, potatoes,
corn, alfalfa, oats, ETC., than lbef-
vile? Why YES we can, and are 90 To-
| ing it every year, but the public will
never know this unless We advertise,
by showing our best products at tfle
fair. Why is it, then, that lberyille
has won the prize for two years?
Well, because every farmer in the
parish takes an interest in the fair,
and in his own parish Thus the two
working together is bound to make
them win, We can do likewise in AS
sumption. if all viii work together T
send displays to the fair this fall,
and put Assumption on the map a.
having the best agricultural products;
in south Louisiana. Let us work anc
win that $3.50.

IMMuNIzING POWDER SUCCESS.
New Orleans Physicians Find Pre-
vsntive For Hog Cholera.

The hog cholera minimizing pow
der perfected by Drs. Charles w.
Duval and Nj. Couret, of the Tulane
medical faculty and the Charity Hos
pital pathological laboratory, is a sue
cess. Also, it has been patented and
protected. II IS expected to prove
the greatest boon bestowed upon the
production of pork, and to make Lou
lsiana the leading hog state.
Word comes from Washington that
the government tests conducted at
Ames, Iowa, were eminentIy satisfac-
tory A number Of hogs received the
injection of the powder behind their
ears, and after the period OF inmuni-
zation they were subjected TO con
tract with the disease without con-
tracing it. The claim is that one
dose will protect an animal for life,
which, therefore, makes it the easiest
and cheapest possible guarantee
against cholera, doing away with the
danger which has caused immense
loss i'll ali the states. The Iowa Ag.
rieultural College, which has taken
a leading part in experiments in yafi-
Gus phases OF the hog industry, has
made preliminary tests and is now
said to be about completing a trial on
large scale to confirm the govern
ment's conclusion. 1t is also said
that some final tests are being made
at Washington by the scientists of
the Department Of Agriculture, main
ly for the benefit Of the committees
OF congress before whom the Louisi-
ana experts laid the important details
few months ago.
Serum manufacturers in various
parts of the country have been keep
ing track of developments, and some
OF them are said to have foreseen the
triumphant endorsement and to have
started activity towards securing the
right of producing the powder as soon
as the governments finding is final
and official. It is understood, how
ever, that such negotiations have not
been encouraged, and that if the in
vention is turned over to any but ma.
tional or state officials the first, and
perhaps the main or only plant will
be located in Louisiana, where the
powder originated. Under the medi.
cal code Of ethics observed here, no
information is given out by the
doctors themselves, and the first
specific news will probably come from
Washington or some other outside
source. The details given, however
are substantially correct Times
Picayune.
