generally in good condition, except
through Livingston parish, where
some bad roads and bridges were en-

LABADIEvILLE VICTORIOUS.
Assumption Champs Close Season
with Victory Over Lutcher.

Labadieville wound up success
full season by defeating Lutcher here
last Sunday afternoon in a hotly-con-
tested game, 3 to 2. The Assumption
CHAMP ii 15 took advantage e LHteher,s
wildness in the first frame to chalk up
three tallies, and although they were
unable to cross the pan during the
remainde the game, tho rst-ir-
ming lead proved sufficient to bring
home the bacon.
Off to a bad start, Ledbetter con-
tinued to have difficulty in locating
the plate, but despite his lack of con-
troll he was never IN serious danger
after the fatal first.
Lutcher annexed run in the third
and another in the eighth, but lack
ed the necessary "punch" to tie the
count.
Knights twirling for the Assump-
tionites featured the fray, his strike
out record totalling nine, and only
four safeties being secured off his
delivery Two of these were two
sackers by Foret and Ledbetter, but
in the pinches the Labadievilie rifle
man frightened up and turned the
Lutcher swatsmen back.
The St. James squad negotiated two
fast double-plays, OMesby to Vega to
Foret, and Dobard Reilly to Foret.
aSharlie Dugas, in right field for Laba-
die, brought the game to thrilling
close with sensational catch of a
high fly off the goal posts on the foot

the trial witness after witness testi-
fled to the fact that Wine of CaTdui
was an intOxicant and had little
merit as a medicine.
Patten was a great success for a
time just as long as he got away
with it. When exposure came he
resigned all his places of power in a
great church, but held onto his mil
lions spending only enough to try
to get a court to give him a clean
bill of health.
But he died a failure. He didn't
ring true as a Christian or a MAN.
He was one of the many whose
Christianity was only clOthes-deep.
Probably there are other big Chris
tians who are still successful because
they are still getting away with it.
Exposure hasn't come Probably
there are big contributors to the pro-
hibition campaign fund who are try
ing to build up markets for various
''bitteTs, alcoholic patent medicines
or non-alcohOlic grape juice and
other soft drinks. And possibly
some of them help boost their game
by Jealous professions of Chris
tianity.
It isn't the fault of Christianity, of
course, nor the fault of any creed or
church. But it might tend to make
both Christians and church mem
bers keep their eyes peeled for hypo-
critics, while remembering that it is
easier for a camel to pass through
the eye of a needle than for a plute
to enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
MILK RAISE IS JUST.-Health
Com'r Robertson seems much arous-
ed about the Scent milk. He does
not seem to realize that the producers
have been getting an increase for
several years and still the milk has
been 8 cents a quart a number of
years. Why make such an awful
howl about the milk when it gets
raised 1 cent in about eight years and
everything else has been raised sky
high and no one seems to fight for
lower prices.
DR.. Robertson is certainly doing
his share of agitating about the milk.
Why not investigate the unsanitary
flats families have to live in and
which are not fit for human being?
If DR.. Robertson will keep on agi-
tating about the Scent milk no doubt
he will get the public so aroused that
the big concerns won't need half of
their men and perhaps some of their
babies will die of starvation. 1 won
der if he will investigate the condi-
tons of those families like he does
the Scent milk.-EdW. LeVee.
