An interesting little contro-
versary is arising between the
Lafourche Leader of Lockport,
and the Peoples Gazette of Thib-
odaux. The Leader, being
one of southwest Louisiana's
apostles of good roads goes
after the police jury for
not having done anything
in generations to repair or
build roads in it's section, and
the Gazette goes after the Lead
er f1 this fact. The editor of
the Leader throws a padded brick
by saying that it is regrettable
his esteemed contemporary can
not see things in a broader light.

The Lafayette Gazette scat-
tiers a number Of editorial squibs
on its front page. One of these
pleads for some to swear out a
search warrant for that chamber
of commerce movement started
in Lafayette some time ago.
This would be a wise move. That
chamber of commerce should by
all means be organized. The
people of that town should stop
a moment and consider the ben
efits of being organized.

Tight money in the markets of this

Chicago. November brightness of
many rates, together with acute weakness
of stocks, hogs and foreign exchange
did good deal today to bring material
setbacks in the value of corn. Prices
closed nervous at sc to 1ssc net lower,
with December slsOSsd1so1a and May
81. 24ka1. 4s4. Oats lost 1sc to sc and
provisions tic to 65c.
Corn showed a downward tendency as
soon as the market opened, but the in
itial impulse seemed due mostly to pre-
dictions of excessive low temperatures
for this season of the year. Such weather
conditions were looked upon as likely to
