ward will be unable to send it's foot
ball team to West Point on October
25 for the game which. until yester-
day, it was hoped could be played at
Cambridge.
This fall the Crimson will hold close
to the stadium except for the Prince
ton game in order to get its athletic
treasury back on q sound footing. 4
big loss il money would be onttiled
by going TO West Point because no
admission is charged at the Point and
Harvard is unwilling to accept any
guarantee. The Cambridge team in
the past always paid it's own expenses
for West Point trips.

Three Local Banks Have
Resources of Nearly Four
Million Dollars
IL SHOW INCREASE
OVER LAST REPORT
In Spite Of Practical Failure Of the
Cotton Crop Bank Deposits Still
Show Substantial
Increase


It is hardly probable that any towr
of 500, situated in a strictly agri
cultural community. without a single
manufacturing enterprise, can show q
bank statement approaching the com
bined strength of three banks of Ope
lousas.
The outstanding features of the
statements of the local banks this
week is the healthy Increase in re-
sources made in the past three months
months that are generally characters
zed by lowered resources.
The statement of the Opelousas Ma
tional Bank, the only national bank
in this parish, published last week,
showed resources of $749, ,174.24,
loans and investments, $5S4,O89. 10,
and deposits of $538,619.57.
The Planters Bank and Trust Co,
the youngest member of the banking,
fraternity reports resources of 1925
O61.42, loans and investments, $780,
O82.33: deposits. $742, 2,233. 70.

reports resources of over two million
dollars, loans and investments Of ST.
S75, ,120.61, and deposits Of s1,7S5, $780,

The above statements are truly re-
narkable and emphasizes the pros
oerous condition OF this section and
he confidence that the people have
n the towns three solid and conser-
yatiVe banking institutions.

A Campaign of
False Pretense

and by some means-God knows what
induced the man, whom four years
ago he had denounced as the implac
4 able foe of democracy, to execute one
j of those political stunts which he him
self has SO graphically described, and
declare himself candidate.
| And what is more, Mr.. Parker, who
| had so pompously declared his inten
tion to write his own platform as a
quotation mark, appropriates MIR
Breazeale's platform, from beginning
to end:
But the wretched conspiracy did not
end here.
They, Mr.. Parkeh and his new ally
at once began a propaganda designed
to convice Mr. Breazeale and his
friends that he could not win the fight
and that Mr.. Parker was the only man
who could win 1t. Under these condi-
tions it would have been folly for Mr..
| Breazeale to continue in the race and,
acting upon the advice of his friends.
he withdrew.
The net result Is that Mr.. Parker
has gained-or think he has gained
the advantage Of the public sentiment
which Mr.. Breazeale's brilliant cam
paign aroused over the state, without
one word OF comfort or assistance
from him or the Governor. Their
feigned apprehension that he could
not win, after their tardy conversion
to the cause he had advocated, is the
merest pretext. Before the democrats
of Louisiana Mr.. BreazeaIe is an In
finitely stronger candidate than Mr..
Parker is. As debater, he has no
superior in the state. In the matter
of character and personal POPULARITY
he is the peer of Mr.. Parker, and as
consistent Democrat he would have
made a much stronger appeal to the
Democrats of the state.
But-afld here is the milk III the
cocoanut- Mr.. Parker is not going to
rely upon the Democrats to elect him.
He and his friends expect that in adj
dition to the Democrats who will be
fooled into voting for him, he will
get all of that element who are really
Republicans at heart, but who retain
precarious membership in the Dem
ocratic party SO that they can vote
for men like themselves who are en-
emies of that party, and who will Inn
pair its vigor and ultimately destroy
t.
The Enterprise will not lend its aid
g any such cold blooded game as the
Governor and Mr.. Parker are under
aking to play. It offers no apology
or the statement that it prefers
Stubbs and the bosses to Parker and
he republicans. Fl

 As far as is known this is the first complete film to be made concerning scoutcraft. The various activities of the organization are entertainingly and interestingly shown, and in such a manner as to hold the attention of the most discriminating observer.
 The Goodyear Tire & Rubber com pany has for years been greatly inter ested in the boy scout movement and has encouraged it among the families of its workmen by appointing and sup porting scout officers and by financing vacation trips for the scouts each year.
 The film, Men in the Making" has been made with the object of aiding in popularizing general boy scout and in securing larger enrolment of scouts. It can be profitably used by boy scout organizations throughout the country to create a greater interest in their To-

Men in the Making is the practical title of a three-reeI moving picture film just completed by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company, featuring the activities of the Boy Scouts of America.
 The pictures were taken on a recent 2,000-mile motor hike" of 50 Akron, Ohio, boy scouts through New York and New England in four big pneu- matic tired trucks fitted out specially for the occasion. The scouts and their officers visited the beautiful scenic and historical points along a route leading through Niagara Falls, Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Lake George, Lake Champlain, St. Johnsbury, White Mountains, Port land, Me, Boston, Worcester, Hartford, Binghampton, Ithaca, Lake Chatauqua and Erie, back to Akron Each of the scouts in the party was selected by competitive examination concerning his general knowledge of scoutcraft and ability to secure recruits for the organization.
 Following out a moving picture scenario written by Robert McLaugh- lin, the well known scenario writer and playwright, the scouts enacted many scenes for the cameraman-camping beside beautiful lakes in the Adiron- dacks and at the foot of the White Mountains, haking along winding mountain roads, visiting numerous places of historical interest, sitting around the campfire, fishing in trout streams. swimming in the waters of the Atlantic and many other interesting scenes.

FACTION
 COULD NUT bE
 MUCH GREATER.

There is a rancher over at Mesa-a rancher who shows that he knows au- tomobile values, as well as other values, by purchasing a Cadillac roadster sev- eral months ago from the Babbitt Brothers Trading company at Phoenix. This gentleman is W. J. Longmore and a more enthusiastic boosted has not been seen for long while.
 Mir. Longmore says that during the summer they drove the Cadillac up and down the coast-Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Diego and other points too numerous to mention and were not delayed one moment on account of any kind of trouble. The crank case was with the radiator but he says the car used no water at all-even the same air that they took from good old Arizona was still in the Goodyear cord tires that come as Cadillac equipment.
 Cases similar to this one, come into the Rabbit Brothers office every day but this one experience, according to Mr. LongInore deserves special men, tion, inasmuch as he did not believe, prior to this time, that there was such a thing as a Cadillac car. Now he says he will admit that he has been living in the dark, as far as automo- piles go, and has just found out that there is a piece of perfect mechanism, car that can be enjoyed perpetually and with no expense for upkeep and a whole raft of other adjectives that the writer has forgotten.
 The gentleman in question says he feels quite flattered that at every ga- rage in California that he stopped at. that the attendants would invariably tell him that he had the best car made

ONE THIRD OF THE PEOPLE COULD RIDE
 IN NATIONS CARS

"1t is to the development of quan- dty production methods that the world owes the now indispensable utility of automobile transportation" saws Bert O. Brown, local dealer in Chevrolet passenger and commercial cars.
 By no other means could the auto mobile industry, in so few years, have become the third largest in the world, or the majority of the present automo- bile owners have experienced the con- veniences of individual rapid transpor- tation.
 With a seating capacity of thirty million people, more than six million passenger cars afford direct transpor- tation for one-third the population of the country. Indirectly the entire coun- try benefits from the half million com mercial cars which facilitate both the production and marketing of food and merchandise.
 "These far reaching benefits have been made universally available chief ly by those industrial organizations which successfully combine quality with quantity.
 ITO do this exhaustive studies are made of all conditions governing de- mand. Master cars are then construct ed to fill every requirement. of power,
