Although his home was completely

Lake Chares August 9th F. B. Dem

forget in the excitement to render
what assistance he could to his

day following the storm:
Ryan street between Broad and
Pujo was lighted last night by cour-
tesy of the Delco Light company, Of
which F. B. bennett is the local
agent. Mr. Denett stated that he Of
fered the light free Of charge to the
city until the power plant can re
sumo operations. He placed his lit
tie engine in the middle of the
block and it worked perfectly. Mr..
bennett expects to stretch the wire
to the city hall today. COmmisioon-
err Crosby secured permission from
the electric light company to have
this temporary light plant installed.

HANDLING RICE
CROP FOR 1918

Agreements are being completed
between the rice millers Of the
country and the food administration
with regard to the handling of tba
rice crop of 1918.
The main provisions of these
agreements are that the miller shall
pay definite prices to the grower for
rough rice and shall not sell the
clean rice at more than prices named
IN the contract, ranging fro 7 SO c
per pound for choice Japan to 9 1-2c
for fancy Honduras. Establish
ment Of these contracts has been re-
quested by growers in all parts Of
the rlce-growing section of the
country and is believed to be very
beneficial to both producer and con
Sumer.
1t is hoped that the result will be
complete sterilization of the rice in
dustry and the distribution of rice to
the consumer without speculation or
manipulation at a reasonable margin
Of profit. Consumers will, in the
opinion Of the food administration,
be able to purchase rice at price
approximately l0c to l2c per pound,
depending on remoteness from mill
ing centers.
In order to accomplish a fair val
uatiOn of the growers products a
general committee will be appointed
by the food administration whose
duty it will be to generally supervise
the carrying out of the contract by
grading and valuing samples of rice
submitted by the growers. Valua-
ton committees operating under Tie
general control of the central com
mittee, will be appointed in each
state where rice is grown, to han,
die the details of the matter.
Appointment of a committee to
assist in carrying out the recent
agreement between the food admin
istration and rice millers, as annunoc
ed by the food administration is a:
follows:
E. A. Eignus, Beaumont, Texas
J. E. Broussard, Beaumont, and J. H
Roman, New Orleans.
The committee will supervise thu
grading and classification of rough
rice, as set forth in the recent agree
ments, and will have general con
troll of valuation committees whicl
will carry out the details in the va
rious districts.

JOHN, LUTHER, EDWARD AT

The annual picnic of the Woodmen

The picnic is at Jeanerette next
Sunday, August 18th, and will draw
one of the largest crowds ever gath
cred in the state.

PERFECT ATTACK"
VAUX CAPTURE

From a clipping from che Amerl-
can Expeditionary Forces official or
gan which Dr. Martin sent to J. A.
Martin, referring to the capture of
the village of VauX we quote the fol-
lowing, which is fine tribute to the
fighting spirit of the American sol
diers typical of their every move
ment:
"A perfect attack" was the COM
pliment the French observers paid to
the neat, swift and strikingly sue
cessful advance which the American
Infantry made last Monday evening
in the region just west of Chateau
Theirry-an advance which put IN
their hands the village of Vaux, the
woods of La Roche and some wooded
territory roundabout"
Another paragraph says: There
were hand to hand encounters IN the
street. One sergeant found twelve
sleeping Germans in cellar, shot
dead the two who awoke at his en-
trance and brought in the other ten
as his personal prisoners.
Though this happened some thirty
DAYS ago, it is typical of the news dis
| patches eagerly scanned each morn

home. Hun, you'll have to RUN

COMMISSION WILL
CARE FOR SOLDIERS
Governor To range For Body 40 Act
When The Boys Come Home.

Governor Harrington announced
yesterday that he would arrange with
the Council OF Defense fer the APP
pointment of 4 commission to look
after returning soldiers after the
termination of the war.
If Governor Harrington S scheme
is put into operation, the boys who
are now on the other side will on
their return to their homes find that
they and their interests have not
been lost sight OF by the home PEG
pie.
In discussing the proposition the
Governor said the United states gov
eminent is already making proVl-
sions for the finding of employment
for returning soldiers.
THE plan l have in mind, he
said. will in nCWise conflict with
what the government proposes TO do
1t has been suggested that there Is
much available land nov unused
which could be made productive by
drainage and hat this land would
offer to the soldier boys an oppor-
tunity to cultivate it. While this sug
gestion is all right. believe that Il
would be a difficult matter TO get the
returning soldiers to engage in ag
ricultural pursuits. Many OF then
would prefer other occupations. IC
keep them in the State is what
trust may result from this plan. The
committee would try to restore theil
former positions to some and find new
places of employment for others. II
other words, nay idea is to look after
these boys financially physically
morally and spiritually.
LAS soon as l can make forma
outline of my ideas along this mat
ter l will submit them to the Coun
Gil of Defense and, in conjunction
with that body, will appoint com
mission TO take up this matter, which
1 feel that every citizen in the State
would be interested in successfully
launching"

declared Col Barker. You will rep
resent in the camps and overseas the
ideals and standards Of the Jewish
faith, and 1t Is up to you above all
things to be consistent In your re-
