BEE KEEPERS WILL
HAVE SPECIAL. HELP

f. c.. Davis, specialist in bee cul-
ture, has been added to the Agricul
tural Extension division Of the Louis
lana State University. Mr., Davis is
a native of Louisiana and practical
bee keeper of long experience. He
has recently spent some time in
Washington, D. c., investigating the
latest methods of bee culture.
Louisiana is said to have more
bees in proportion to its size than
any other Southern State, but most of
the hives produce little honey on &C
count of poor methods in use. 1t will
be the duties Of Mr.. Davis to assist
bee keepers who are already in the
business to improve their apiaries and
to encourage others who are favor
ably situated to take up the work
The scarcity of sugar makes the
production of honey of especial i'm
pOrtance at the present time.
Those who expect to produce
honey next spring should get in
touch with Mr.. Davis now, as the
most important work in bee culture
is during the fall and winter. Per-
sons desiring his assistance should
write to the Extension Division, Lou
isiana State University, Baton Roug.

ELTON DANCE HALL MANAGER
KILLED BY OFFICERS in ATTEMPT
TO CLOSE The PLACE ACCORDANCE
TO COUNCIL OF DEFENSE ORDERS

The Council of Defense of Elton,
Louisiana, had ordered public ball
rooms closed during the period of
he war; Theodore COurville, who op~
Irates such a place was told of the
decision and in defiance of the or
ders to close, proceeded on Satur-
Gay evening to have another of the
usual Saturday evening balls. Dep
uty Sheriff Nicholas Garbarino and
Constable Paul Fuselier, were charg-
ed with the duty Of seeing the Or
ders were obeyed, and accordingly
proceeded to the place where the pro-
prietor was seen and politely re-
Quested by Mr.. Fuselier to discon-
tinue the evenings entertainment, as
per instruction. To this he positive
ly refused. Mr.. Fuselier noticed
that Mr.. Courville was armed with
revolver, so he advised Mr.. Gar
barino to be careful and the two
then proceeded to return to the hall
for the purpose of arresting him, for
having concealed weapon on his
person. On entering the place Mr..
Garbarino announced to Courvllle
that he was under arrest and asked
that he surrender; this he pretended
| to do, until an attempt was made to
search his person by the deputy, and
he difantly backed away reaching for
the weapon, striking Mr.. Garbarino
with the weapon and then firing
twice at the officer W hen Constable
Fuselier who had appeared on the
scene and fired two bullets taking
effect in the neck and shoulder,
killing Courville almost instantly.
Other shots seemed to have been
fired by the officers and Courville,
for Miss Mary Miller, a little girl
who had gone to the dance was
struck in the head resulting in her
death this morning, and another by
stander was shot in the lower limb.
/ The officers Immediately phoned
Sheriff Fontenot, who came to Elton
and placed both under arrest and
ordered the inquest held.
The coroner's jury found that the
officers were justified, but Sheriff
Fontenot, as a matter of precautior
made charges of manslaughtel
against both Mr.. Fuselier and Mr.
Garbarino, both of whom were re
leased today on bonds which were
promptly furnished by their friends
from Elton.
Sheriff Fontenot was in Lax
Charles Sunday evening in compan!
with Mr.. Robira, their attorney. whel
the facts were related to Judg
Cline who fixed the bond.

CALCASIEU FARMERS
GIVE FAITH BOND

In pledging themselves to coop
crate with the government and with
each other in the harvest labor stu
alton, the farmers Of western Calca-
sieu parish are each putting up a
check for $50 as bond Of good faith.
The checks are made payable to the
Vinton Red Cross auxiliary.
The farmers of that section have
agreed upon a harvest wage scale OF
50 per day and board or SITS with
out board as against $1.75, the basis
agreed upon in Jefferson Davis par
'ish. Their reason for the h lgher
scale is the close proximity of the
oil fields, sulphur mines and snip
yards all of which pay a much higher
scale of wages.
