Big Deal.

An Opelousas paper has the fol-
lowing item:
A deal of large proportions was
made here this week when A. A.
Waterhouse purchased from st.
Landry Realty Company the saw
mill plant, 14,0OO acres of timber
lands and a standard-guage lumber
railroad six miles in length, located
at Hazelwood station on the Gulf
Coast Lines, about three miles east
of Port Barre. The price paid for
the mill, ETC., was in the neighbor-
hood of quarter of million dol
lars.
The mill has been long closed
down and the new owner will be-
gin the work of repairing next
Monday, and he expects to have
everything in ship-hape for opera
ton within the next fifteen days,
after which time full crew at the
mill and in the woods will be en-
ployed and the plant operated to
full capacity.
In addition to this deal, Mr.. Wa
terhouse, it is rumored, also pur-
chased another large track of
stump land, but the details OF this
latter deal have not been given out

All the machinery, pipes and

and the derrick is being built on
the Granger property, a mile and
a half southwest of st. Martinville,
where the oil indications are said
to be very good, and whose those
interested expect to develop a big
field.
Oil prospectors were numerous
in this section of late and some
fancy prices were paid for leases.

Mothers may be angels but they
do not always care to be treated
as such. But whoever heard a
wife or mother say so to her hus-
band or son?
Wifehood and maternity do not
rob a woman of her normal human
needs, althugh it is customary for
her to pretend that they do. and
for all the members OF her family
to assume that making sacrifices
is her only natural Joy.
"Oh. mother doesn't care about
going out much"-says the family
in a cheerful chorus, when the
auto is crowded, or when there are
not enough theater tickets to go
around.
Mother doesn't care a bit about
clothes. says the overdressed
daughter when she orders her
tenth sports hat.
Mother loves to iron," thinks
the young man whose salary can't
be stretched to cover his Injuries
and his laundry bills also.
And mother heroically agrees
with it all-what woman wants to
prove herself less than an angel?
but in her heart of hearts she
knows that it is not fair.
She loves a play like any debu-
tante, has a score of feminine van
tiles about shoes and coiffures
which only shopping tour can
satisfy, and she is not able to find
any reason why an eight-hour day
would not benefit the home as we'll
as the factory!
\ But 1t would seem absolutely
immoral for her to confess to such
weaknesses.
What contempt her neigh
bOrs would heap on her, with
what establishment her chill
dren would regard her, how
surprised and grieved her low
ing husband would he, were
she to assert her right to

Dear Miss Grey: l want to
say a few words to Rebel"
in Saturdays Times, from the
standpoint of a mere man.
First, what does she mean by
desirable" men. If she
means good, honest, clean
living, Christian young men,
| can say from experience
that that kind of man has
NOT ceased to seek the mice"
girl with the object of mar
riage. But how is he going
to meet her? Unless he is
wealthy or has influential
friends her parents do not
consider him in the desirable
class, and without help from
her parents the good, clean
living man has no opportun-
ity to become acquainted with
the nice girl. But If Rebel"
means by desirable" men,
business or professional men,
or men, of the world with
large incomes land no NOR
als), l can only say that these
men nearly always marry the
sort of girl who can crafty
their desire for excitement
and amusement, whether she
is good or net.
And, finally, I want to say
that the majority of our
WORTHWHILE men do NOT
spurn the companionship of
the virtuous girls. If they
did, they would most certain
ly cease to be worthwhile
and no nice girl would care
to seek their friendship. And
don't forget that the nice
young man has just as much
difficulty in meeting nice
girls as the other way
around. Respectfully, '
