strains that surely come with tractor
service. Plow points arc protected by
wooden pin breaks.
We recommend the use of the Oliver
Plow with the Mogu1 Tractor-because
we know that you will be pleased with the

then let us show you here on our floor just
why they are better-why they lead in
plows as the MogM leads among tractors.

Legislature Warming Up Over Prohi-
bition Amendment.

The following representation
as to the action Of the louisiana
legislature, and tenor of the gov.
: errors message, was in type last
week, but was crowded out. The
governors message, in addition
to favoring the Alexandria dry
zone bill, also came out in favor
of the national prohibition amend
ment and woman suffrage, and
SO the matter is good to print
this week, as follows:
Baton Rouge, La. May 13. =
j. Y. Sanders was the stellar
quantity at a warming up"
conference of the ratiticationists
tonight, his speech being one OF
the stirring events of a series
which sent the rs or 100 men,
bers of the house and senate
away from the Istrouma, more
COZ fident than ever that the
Louisiana Legislature will ratify
the prohibitions amendment.
Ire other big star of the evening
was Senator E. M. Stafford, OF
O. leans. the single member oi
tn. New Orleans delegation at
tending the meeting.
Judge w. z. Hail Of Shreve-
pert, DR.. A. w. Turner and 9TH
er prominent men in and out of
the legislative halls were in the
meeting room.
1T was one of a series of over
the top meetings, which we vii.
hold" declared Representative
Powell. house floor leader tor the
ratlficationists. I'VE undoubt-
eddy have a safe working major
ity for the amendment IN both
branches, and we are 'goins
over the top If Lou siana fails
in this she will fail for the fiis
time TO go ever ana / don't be-
lieve she will fail"
The presence Of Senator Stat
ford, one or the accepted proba-
bilities for the next gubernato-
rial race, caused a ripple of COM
ment about the Istrouma lobby
and the ratificationists were
very much elated.
Speeches were made during
the conference by Senator Delos
johnson. of Washington parish,
Representative E. K. Eastman
of st. Landry, Senator Stafford,
Representative T. Sambola Jones
of East Baton Rouge, Senator
Williamson and Congressman
Sanders. Senator Johnson OPEN
ed the meeting and acted as
chairman. The session was ex-
ecutive and only those who were
willing to go On record as for the
ratification were admitted.
The governors message is ex-
pected to be ready on Wednes-
day, and will. it is reported, con.
tain a recommendation of the
Alexandria dry zone bill. What
other reference Governor Pleas
ant will make on the subjects
just now uppermost in the minds
of people here is not known.
Representative Cooper brought
his bill up with him today, but
says he is not in a hurry to rush
IL In. 1t Will put the towns of |
Boyce. Lecompte. Pineville and
Alexandria in the bone dry |
column. The ratification meas
ure also failed to make its ap-
pearance today. 1t will be hand
led either simultaneously in both |
branches by Messrs. Powell and |
Delos Johnson, or will originate |
as a concurrent resolution in one |
OF the branches. In either case
the supporters of the measure
are claiming victory.

WHAT BECOMES OF coNFIscATED BOOZE?

IRON Titanic Texas comes upon the wintry winds
i wall of woe. The wall originates in Gaines
vile, according to The Daily Register OF that
city Burglars broke into the home of the sheriff OF
the county and stole the entire stock of "cvdence"
which Sheriff Ford had hand for presentation in
divers and sundry prosecutions incident 10 violations
OF the prohibition law
We are informed that the burglars placed ladder
against the outer wall OF the sherfs castle, climbed
up and in, prcd open with automobile springs Il
locked closet and made Off with eight full quarts and
uncounted hapints leaving the heavy ladder for the
sheriff TO tote home to the man from whom it had
been stolen for the occasion.
This sad tale constrains to make inquiry as to
what becomes of the booze collected by shcrffs and
other lawocers in Texas and Oklahoma. 1t has been
limited that up in Tulsa where the city police depart
ment is the chief booze-cocctng agency, some Of
the newspaper reporters fall heir to some of the booze
whilst engaged busily in seuthng for evidence to
adJudgc some OF the policemen guilty of drunkenness
homa or Texas cities and is be included in the
general inquiry to who gets the booze.
After said booze has been used as "cvidence" in
court, what becomes Of the evidence? Is it filed for
future reference in the archives OF the court clerk
If what sort OF filing cabinet is used? Or is it
destroyed as the law requires? And if destroyed,
in what manner does the destruction take place 3?
Docs said destruction mean the total disappearance
of the booze and questions asked? We do not |
pause for reply We simply ask the question and pass
it up to the sherls and other officers concerned.
