: District Attorney II. 8. Brous
sard was next called upon In
his opening remarks he stated
that he bad not anticipated being
called upon to take part in any Of
the discussions; he had attended
the meeting as the legal nd wiser
Of the Police Jury. lie then took
up the line Of argument that all
should work to the end of ear nest

9 pnable understanding by which
the investments Of those who had
gone into stock raising could be
saved, by which the good faith Of
the people and the authorities of
tbis parish could be preserved, by
which our pledges to the National
government would be held invio
late, by which there should be TO
abuse of the confidence reposed in
us by the State government. We
are under a serious obligation to
ourselves to maintain our own
good name aud our faith to others.
Wait till the European war ia over
and competitive prices and labor
ret urn to affect the prices of our
pr oducts and you will be sorry of
your act.
