Riley-Taylor Co., of New Orleans, as
demonstration for their coffees, teas

scheduled to hold demonstration for
one Of the Crowley merchants, but

give the people of Welsh the benefit
of an extra days free coffee. She
served Votan Coffee and demonstrat-
ed its merit at the Model grocery

During her stay here Mrs. LOvett
made many friends for the lines

erence to the rice tariff, Judge Barbe
said
u have always advocated a tariff

vote and work for the restoration of
the old rate of two cents a pound, but
will strive for an even higher rate if
l find that the interests of the rice
industry require it. | have a finan-
clal as well as a political interest in
the rice industry. For five genera
tons my family has been associated
with Southwest Louisiana, and nv
interests are bound up with this Sec
ton. The rice industry is the lead
ing industry Of this section, and the
development of my district depends
upon the development of the rice in
dustry. For this reason, and because
OF the further reason that my family
is interested financially in the rice in
dustry, l will do everything in my
power to promoteN that industry by
favorable tariff legislation. / am
standing on the democratic platform,
but | shall not give my support to any
measure which does not provide every
protection for the leading industry of
my district. / will not vote for any
tariff measure carrying less than a
two-cent rate on rice.
Il also favor adequate protection
for sugar and will use my best en-
beavers to retain the present measure
of protection for that industry.
Il favor national prohibition as op-
posed to local option. believe the
enforcement of the liquor laws should
be placed in the hands of the federal
authorities and taken out of the hands
of local police officials. believe it
is possible under the constitution for
Congress to enact such law without
any further authority. The same au-
thority which permitted the enact
ment of the Harrison anti-narcotic
law, would authorize the enactment of
a national prohibition law. The SUI
preme court, in its rulings on the
white slave law and the anti-cigar-
cite laws, has recognized this author
ity. If elected, | shall urge national
prohibition law along lines similar to
the Harrison drug and narcotic law"
Judge Barbe is particularly inter-
ested in Southwest Louisiana's water
ways and he will, if elected to the Of
flee to which he aspires, give much
time and effort to their improvement.
He has always been an Outdoor" man
and from his earliest years his leisure
time has been devoted to hunting,
fishing and boating, sports to which
his childhood years on the bank of
Lake Charles had readily inclined him.
There is not a lake, river, or bayou
in his district with which he is not
thoroughly familiar.
He is broad-minded, hustling young
man and his entraee into the congress
sional race is matter which will
have to be considered by his oppo-
nents.

Judge Barbe Announces
Candidacy for Cong, ess

Judge A. M. Barbe of Lake Charles
was in Welsh Tuesday in the inter-
est of his candidacy before the COM
ing democratic primary for represens
tative in Congress from the Seventh
Louisiana District, The Judge SEEM
ed very well pleased with the en-
enlargement he is receiving and feels
confident that he will be the next
congressman from this district.
Mr.. Barbe needs no introduction to
the readers of the Journal as he was
born and raised in old Calcasieu par
ish near the city of Lake Charles,
has lived here all of his life, and is at
present Judge for this the Fifteenth
Judicial District. He received his
early education in the Convent schools
of Lake Charles and st. Louis col
lege, studying law with Hon. A. R.
Mitchell, one of the most prominent
members of the Calcasieu bar, and at
that time District Attorney, after
which he completed his thorough le-
gal training with two year course
at Tulane University, graduating in
1900, with that famous class which
included st. Clair Adams, Blanc Mon
roe, Geo. H. Territory and other no.
table attorneys of the class of 1900.
Returning home, Judge Barbe be-
gan the practice of law in Lake
Charles. In 1912, after the legislative
authorization of an additional Judge
for the Fifteenth District, he was
elected over four strong competitors,
taking his seat in April, 1913. This
constitutes the only political office he
has ever held.
AS Judge of the district court it is
fair to say that Judge Barbe has made
an excellent record. While he has
tried and decided many criminal
cases of Importance, he has never had
one reversed by the Supreme Court,
and his record on the civil side is
above the average. In deciding Grim
inal cases he has followed the modern
thought that the penalty of an of
Tense should be corrective, not venge-
full, and he has therefore shown es-
pecial lieniency to first offenders. He
has been watchful of the taxpayers
interests in the conduct of the court,
invariably cautioning grand juries
to watch over parish finances and
keep down the expenses of govern
ment.
Judge Barbe is very closely allied
with the rice interests of this dis
5rict which produces "a per cent of
The entire rice crop of the United
States. .Hailing from four genera
lions of Louisiana's farming folk,
Judge Barbe recalls the first irriga-
ion canal in the rice district was dug
IN his fathers land near Lake Ar

he has since developed an interest,"

LOUISIANA FARMERS WILL
TOUR THE NORTH

Inc Extension DIVISION OF the Col
lege of Agriculture of Louisiana State
University with the assistance of NJ.
Harry D. Wilson, Commissioner of
Agriculture, will conduct a farm OBJ
Servation tour leaving New Orleans on
the Illionois Central railroad on the
morning of August %, for the pur-
pose of stdying farm conditions, par
ticularly the dairy industry, in north
ern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, cas-
tern Iowa and the territory around
St. Louis.
The following is a tentative outline
Of the tour:
We will spend one day at Cham
paign, ILL.,, three days in the territory
Immediately tributary to Chicago, in
Guiding trip to the Fox river terri
tory, the famous butter center. We
will spend two days in Waukesha
county, Wisconsin, famous the world
over for dairy enterprises. From
there we will go to Madison, the seat
OF the State University and Agricul-
tuTe college, visiting the college and
some of the farms in that section of
the state. From there we will go to
Waterloo, Iowa, the home of Kimballs
Dairy Farmer, and from there we will
visit some Of the celebrated diaries
and live stock farms of that section.
From there we will return by way of
Freeport, ILL.,, directly south to St.
Louis and spend one or two days in
the vicinity of st Louis.
This trip viii enable US to see all of
the leading breeds of dairy cattle and
some of the beef cattle and hogs un-
der the varying conditions to be
found in these great centers.
The University of Wisconsin, the
University of Illinois, the University
of Iowa, the State Food Department
of Illinois will have representatives to
join the party when we get into their
respective states, and the U S. De-
partment Of Agriculture will detail
their extension workers, also, to as
slst in directing the party so as to
get the greatest possible benefit in
the least possible time.
The cost will be only what you
spend for your own RAILROAD fare,
trolley fare, maintenance, etc. The
round trip tickets from here to Mad
ison, Wis, is $43.6O. We estimate
that the side trips will not put the
railroad fare above $500. The cost
OF sleepers we are not able to ascer-
tain yet. We can get tourist car
with sixteen sections for $500 per
day. By using the upper and lower
berths that would be an expense of
$500 for thirty-two persons, includ-
ing all of the usual service. We can
take a car for three days and then
keep it as long as we want it with
the privilege of releasing it any day
if we find that we can.stop more COM
fortably at the hotels, or at less
cost. We think conservative esti-
mate for the entire trip will be
$l250o for fifteen or sixteen days.

This tour is undertaken as part of
the extension work, with the earnest
desire that goodly party may be
induced to make the trip to see the
farms of some sections that are PROS
pering on live stock enternrises
