The following letter has beer
received by Parish Demonstra-
ton Agent Humble from the war
departmet:
War Department, Office of the
chef signal officer, Washington,
January 10. 1918.
This office has been advised
that you have recently received
literature from a so-called Aero
Supply Committee" in which you
are urged to grow castor beans.
This literature promised a price
of $500 per bushel for castor
beans. A form of contract was
also sent you for execution. which
required a deposit of $3.50 per
acre with the Aero Supply Com
mittee" as evidence of good faith.
All OF this literature was in such
form that one might get the inn
preston that the Aero Supply
Committee" represented the gov
eminent.
This is to advise that the AERO
Supply Committee" has abso-
lutely no authority from the war
department TO make contracts
for the growing of castor beans.
The duly authorized representa-
tives of the Signal Corps are
making contracts with certain
persons for the growing of castor
beans and these persons are au-
thorized to make sub-contracts
in certain approved forms. How
ever, no contract has been or
will be made with the Aero
Supply Committee or with any,
one connected with it.
This letter is sent you for your
information.

nal officer.

AieAanurAd Earliest Born LIVING
Man.
Editor Town Talk:
| saw an article from T. M. Wells
of Grant parish in your issue OF
Monday, 4th inst, claiming to be
the Oldest born living person of
Alexandria. He says he was
born 25th February 1886. was
born on 2lst October, 1880. #
he can still read and figure, let
him make a note of the above
dates, and withdraw his claim.
Why, Mont. l was riding horse
back before you were born! The
third member of our family is
now living and was born only
two months after you made your
advent. She was born on Second
street. two houses below Lee. /
looked out of the window of my
native birthplace for thefirst time
about where Town Talk Office
stands.
He said the population of Alex
andria, was about 200. including
Indians and ''niggers. |" Indians
never lived in any town, but
Alexandria, before it was laid of,
in 1903 by Alexandra Fulton,
was their trading point. and they
were quite numerous; but 10! the
poor Indian is never seen here
any more.
| will excuse my old friend,
Montfort Wells. for saying there
were only 200 inhabitants in
Alexandria, when he was born,
owing to his babyhood. Alexan-
dria in 1886 had three banks and
a population of at least. 1000.
The cashier of the Louisiana
Bank was Robt. C. Hynson; that
of the Canal Bank was w. R.
Leckie, and that of the Gaslight
Bank was Robert Chew, of New
York City. As for the chimneys,
| remember we'll there were three
in the Louisiana Bank building, |
our home. Mont was too yonug
to count at his birth on February |
Is. 1886.
Rip Van Wrinkle remembered |
the scenes of his earlier days, af-
ter his twenty years sleep, but | |
1oubt if my friend Mont has an |
accurate idea of the location of |
single old Alexandria building, |
md | know he won't try to count

With this historical informa-
ion he may conclude he has made
