RAINS ARE BENEFICIAL.

The soaking rains which fell at in
tervals all day Tuesday have brought
joy to the hearts of the farming COM
munity throughout the whole of the
rice belt. In spite of the unusually
dry planting, season the farmers are
nearl, ough planting, a large per-
cc.,-r, g.. the ice is up to a fine
stand and much Of it is ready to flood,
and the rains which come at this time
had they been made to order, could
not have suited the country better.
The acreage planted in rice this
year is slightly increased over that
of last year, with generally a better
stand, and with the prospects of
good growing season and the further
prospects for higher prices, everyone
should feel jubilant.

BOOSTING THE PIG CLUBS.

I. W. HI of Washington City was
here this week and in company with
Demonstration Agent H. C. Fondren
of Jennings and W. H. Balls, of Baton
Rouge, state superintendent of pig
clubs, visited various sections of JEFF
ferson Davis parish in the interest of
the corn and pig clubs of the parish
There will be about twenty-five boys
and girls in the pig club work this
season, which is very material in
crease in the membership over last
year. The CalcaSieu National Bank
of Southwest Louisiana has no doubt
stimulated this by offering to loan
money to boys and girls upon their
individual signatures, the money to
be used in purchasing stock.

Your horses, cattle and sheep, but
when you want medicine, buy only
medicine. That is what you get in

sell 1t and guarantee it to be medi-

aids digestion, thereby causing them
to get all the food value out of the

critical stage today. Before nightfau
there will be a break one way or the

Mayor Mitchell says he will call
out militia in event of a general
strike in sympathy with striking
street railway men, while labor lead
ers went into executive session final
ly to consider whether 100000 or
ganized workers shall strike.
Mayor Mitchell calls sympathetic
strikes grossly violative oil laws"
while SamI Gompers, A. F. Of L.
president, says this is fight of or
ganized labor against powerful in
terests that will go to any lengths to
break the power of labor.
Ten persons were seriously in
jured today when a taxicab in which
they were being carried to work be-
cause of the street car strike coLlided
with a coal truck on Av. A and 10th
st. and was demolished.
This accident growing out Of the
labor troubles which rapidly became
more critical today increased the
number of injured in smash-ups re-
