WHEAT OVER 81 MARK
Food Administration Will Pay That
For Its Portion.

The price paid by the food admins
tration for the portion it buys of the
1917 wheat crop probably will exceed
81 bushel. it was learned yesterday.
The committee. headed by DIR. H. A.
Garfield, which will recommend a
price, will submit its report early next
week.
: In recommending a price the COM
mittee. il was said, will take into
consideration the fact that the pro.
Queer must receive enough to stimu-
late production next year and at the
same time will consider carefully war
considerations and the rights of the
consumer. In passing the food con-
troll bill Congress set an arbitrary
price of 81 on the 1918 wheat crop
The hope of the food administra-
tion is that the government price fixed
will obtain in sll private transactions
throughout the year and it is ready to
buy up the entire crop for distribution
if prices cannot be stabilized by the
mere fixing of a food administration
price.

MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS.
At The CslsniaI Theatre TonIght.

Montagu Love in powerfully tense
drama. THE Brand of Satan. in
The Brand Of Satan" the principal
character is man who. because of
circumstances surrounding his birth,
has two distinct personalities. When
in one personality he does things that
the other personality does not know
about. 1t would be difficult to imagine
more thrilling and surprising and
consistent photoplay than 1.-The Brand
of Satan"
The central character is Jacques
Cordet, the public prosecutor, who is
afflicted with strange ailment which
gives bin dual personality. When
normal he is thoroughly likable, up.
right and honest When abnormal he
is beastly and a leader of a gang Of
Apaches. Two women figure in his
life, the girl he loves when normal and
the girl to whom be is attached when
abnormal.
Under startling circumstances he
learns the fact of his double PERSONAL
ty and under still more thrilling cir
cumstances he is told by his mother Of
the secret Of his birth which gave
him this double character. The man.
ner in which the drama comes to a
happy and logical conclusion is power
fully intense.
"The Brand of Satan" is a thor
oughly interesting and entertaining
production. 1t moves at a fast pace
in logical consistent stream of start.
ling events to a smashing, inevitable
climax. Mr.. Loves work is some of
the most effective screen acting ever
seen. He depicts the interesting and
unusual character of this mans two
personalities in a way that will linger
long in the memory of all those who
see this remarkable picture. Even
tually there is cure found for the abb
normality of this man and everything
ends happily, but this is only after Q
series Of the most startling incidents
imaginable.

Food Economy.

The advice of Herbert @. Hoover re-
garding food economy is superluous to
certain denizens of the Bronx in New
York. 1t was on an express subway
train to that borough that one under
ground commuter read with seeming
irreverence the rules for saving the
odd ends in the kitchen.
"'Keep the ice box clean,'" he read
to q companion. "Why, say, my ice
box is cleaned out every night before
1 even get a whack at it, and have
to send out to the delicatessen for
my dinner. And look at these rules
for economy. Take it from me,
there's only one way to economic
these days. Send the wife and the
young 'uns on visit to the kinfolks,
put the dog on half rations and go
home for dinner with anybody who
asks YOU"

Too Many Allegations.

The ruling of Judge Cline in
sustaining the exceptions to the
petion filed in the suit of 7. c.
Mahafey ct ais VS.. the Parish of
jefferson Davis will be approved
generally by the entire parish.
The ruling of the court in effect
dismisses the suit against the
parish at the plaintiffs cost.
The petition contained more
than fifty paragraphs and con-
nected as parties to the suit the
police jury as a body and as In
dividuals, also several of the con-
tractors, the engineer and one Of
the material men, and was gener.
ally filled with all sorts of broad
allegations of fraud, COLLISION
and conspiracy in the handling Of
the good roads bond issue funds,
without alleging any specific
facts upon which the allegations
of fraud, collision and conspir-
acy are based. The petition con-
tanned so many absurd, broad
cast, vague and indefinite allega-
tions, and connected so many
different parties who were in no
way related to the subject matter
of the allegations that the court
very properly dismissed the whole
proceeding.
Such proceedings are calculat-
ed to stamp the Office of Police
Juror with a stamina of graft
and to deter good men from Of
fering to serve the parish in this
capacity, and in the doing of this
there appears a very potent I'LL
terror motive on the part Of those
who instigated this suit. Besides
this feature there is the injury
resulting from the interruption
of road work and the possible
blocking of any future public i'm
prOvement.
The Journal does not believe
that the body of men elected to
this Office are guilty of these
charges and deplOres the fact

MAYOR VIM. GABBERT
CONCENTRATES MOVING
TO LAKE CHARLES

From the latest reports Welsh Is
about to lose her Mayor and stimuli
taneously one of her best and most
highly respected families.
Returning from Lake Charles
Wednesday evening where he had
been to participate in the consum-
nation of a deal for the old Watkins
Canal and some 10000 acres of trib-
utary land. Mr.. Gabbert's assoc'a-
tes in this deal are Messrs. Willis
P. Weber, George NJ. King, ST., H.
w. LAM and Col. Woodring, al
prominent Lake Charles business
men. Mr.. Gabbert will have the
management of the big proposition,
He announced to the reporter that he
expected to move his family to Lake
Charles in the very near future. He
stated that he had given up the man
agement of the Welsh Canal, which
he has personally superintended dur
ing the past two years, but could
mot tell who would have charge of
the proposition. He will retain his
interests in this canal, which he says
is in excellent shape.
The project which Mr. Gabbert
and associates have taken over in
cludes the plant known as the North
American Land & Timber Co.'S Ca.
Inat with it's three lifts, and includ-
ling 10000 acres of land, 10000 OF
which they propose to plant the com
ing season. The land is al sod,
having laid out for several years,
with an absolute assurance of fresh
water at all times. The proposition
has very promising aspect at this
time when it is believed that rice
will maintain a high leval Of prices
for several years.
Welsh regrets very much to lose
such estimable citizens as Mr.. Cab,
bert and his family, but he has give7
out the assurance that when the
gravel roads are completed to the
western border of Jefferson Davis
parish his visits will be so frequent
that he will be able to retain his cit.
Iizenship here.

BIG SUBSCRIPTION TO
THE Y. N. c. A. FUND
,o mace n,oo+;no hold at the

! The mass meeting held at the
d torium Monday night III the inter
est of the Y. NJ C. A. War Counc:i
work was the Most successful in The
outcome of any gathering of a like
nature ever held. Although there
was a comparatively small repreSen-
tation present the outcome was the
subscribing of the handsome sum OF
= $500, which is somewhat more than
the allotment for the parish.
At the meeting last week over which
Mr.. Chas. S. Watson presided, a
committee composed of DR.. John H.
Cooper, Hon. John T. Hood and Mr..
E. C. Willard was appointed to look
after the subscription in the five
western wards of Jefferson Davis.
Their plan of campaign included the
meeting here Monday night, meet
ings at Lacassine, Woodlawn and
Fenton tonight and at Roanoke on
Thursday night.
Rev. W. o. Stephens of Lake
Charles arrived during the progress
of the meeting and delivered a most
touching and enlightening address
on the work of the Y. M. c. A. at
home and abroad, its purposes and
its needs. Had his coming been her
aided, the auditorium would have
been filled to the overlooking to
hear him on this subject. Great
credit is due to him for the success
of the meeting, which though but a
mere handful of citizens, subscribed
more for the Y. NJ. C. A. fund than
the allotment for the entire parish.
A committee of five was appoint
ed by the chairman of the meeting
DR.. Cooper, who will solicit sub
scriptions from those not present
and it is probable that the total sub
scriptions for Welsh will ultimately
reach the $1,000 mark.
The drive was carried to Lacassine
Woodlawn and Fenton tonight tues
day. DR.. Cooper having charge of
the meeting at Lacasine, Mr.. Will
lard at Fenton and Hon. John I.
Hood at Woodlawn. On Thursday
night Mayor Gabbert will conduct a
similar meeting at Roanoke.
So far the Y. NJ. c. A. has struck
a more ready response than either
the Liberty Loan or the Red Cross.
In the party accompanying Rev
Stephens over from Lake Charles
were Mrs. Stephens, Mr.. and Mrs
Franklin Miller and Misses Marie
and Katherine Chavame.
The meetings at Lacassine, Wood
lawn and Fenton Tuesday night
were all we'll attended and brought
forth a more ready response thar
was anticipated. Comittees appoint
ed at each Of these places will carry
the capaign throughout their dis
trict before making a report.
In the next issue of the journal
will appear full list of thesubscrip
Itions to the Y. M. C. A. fund fol-
district.
