Jokers Kidnap Bride
on Wedding Night

Bridgeport, Conn. - Charles
Brownell of this town was the
victim of an "unpracticaP' joke,
in his opinion, when friends Of
the young man kidnapped his
bride following the ceremony,
took her to the home Of one of
the young women conspirators
and held her a prisoner until the
following morning.
Shortly after the wedding
cake had been cut an auto drew
up in front of the door and the
appearance of the bride was the
signal for action by the kidnap-
ers. She was hurried into the
machine, which sped away at
full speed. Not until the next
morning was she returned to the
disgruntled husband, who adj
mits he failed to see the joke.

NEW PACKING RULES FOR

The new express packing rules
went into effect on December 10, ac-
cording to statement made by local
Agent Sandoz, in charge of the Ope-
lousas express offices. Under the
regulations now in force, all express
shipments over twenty-five pounds
must be forwarded in wooden con-
tanners or carton bearing the box
makers certificate as to strength and
size required by the express company.
No change is contemplated in the
shipments under the twenty-five
pound limit, which will still be &C
cepted wrapped in paper. Agent San
doz advised Christmas shippers not
only to send their holiday packages
early, but to see that they were prep
erly packed and accurately addressed.

PECAN TREES THRIVE
WELL IN LOUISIANA

Louisiana grows more wild pecans
than any other state in the Union.
The native pecan trees are found
along the rivers, streams and bayous
on alluvial and second bottom lands,
but they also succeed on uplands
where a large number of commercial
orchards are planted. Louisiana is a
pioneer state in grating and propa-
eating pecans; good many of the
fine thin-shelled' varieties have orig
mated here. The fact that the pecan
trees are native in Louisiana is an in
dication of the wonderful possibili-
ties in commercial pecan culture. This
fact has not been realized by the peo-
pie Of the state as much as in other
states which have outstripped the ma
tive state of the pecan and are pro-
ducing fine thin-shelled named varie-
ties on large. commercial basis.
Lately, however, there has been a
good deal of interest aroused in the
planting of budded and grated trees
of the proper varieties, and iandOwn-
ers are beginning to relaize that the
pecan is an asset to the state Of Lou
isiana. Heretofore, the main draw
back to pecan culture has been the
planting of Seeding trees, which were
long in coming into bearing and pro-
duced crop of doubtful commercial
value. By selecting proper varieties
of budded or grated trees and plant
ing on well drained soils, with proper
tillage methods, the pecan offers won
derful renumerative possibilities. The
pecan tree is fairly free from insects
and diseases and there are individual
trees over the state producing over a
half ton of pecans.

SUPPLY OF COTTON
FOR NEXT DECADE
/, IS THREATENED
Prof. Todd of England Believes
That Scarcity Will Be
Somewhat Serious

Blackpool, Eng, Dec. 13.-Profes-
sor John A. Todd, one of the British
delegates to the World Cotton Con-
ference at New Orleans, in October
last, told the Textile Institute that
the worlds supply of cotton for the
next ten years was seriously threaten
ed. He saw indications that the
scarcity of cotton would increase as
the world capacity to consume it re-
turned to normal.
Professor Todd said the first step
to be taken should be to assure the
grower of a reasonable price to cover
the cost of production and to reward
him adequately for growing improved
cotton. He pointed out that the pres
ent system of marketing did not en-
courage the production of better cot
ton and insisted that the British gov
eminent might well do great deal
more than this to extend the cotton
industry. He pleaded for rigorous
economy in consumption. The Amer
lean cotton crop, said the professor,
was the limiting factor in the worlds
supply. This crop had developed an
extreme undesirable see-saw move
ment of acreage, crops and prices.
There had been five bad crops in
succession with high prices accentuat-
ed by world initiation.
Before the war, said the speaker, a
large part of the American growers
were on a small margin of profit and
when prices did not pay they reduced
their acreage. This occurred during
the war and the acreage then lost had
not since been recovered. American
acreage was reduced in 1919 and, ow-
ing to bad weather, this years was ga
disastrous failure and calamity"
The result was that prices had been
forced up to very high level.
Europe and Asia are without stocks
Of cotton goods, said the professor,
The amount of cotton which the
worlds mills could spin and weave is
now restricted by destruction of ma
chinery in the devastated regions of
Europe and restriction of the hours
Of labor but these conditions would
not he nernanent
One thing which alarmed him was
the enormous development of the use
of motor cars in America with con-
sequent demand for 100000 bales of
staple cotton for fabrics in tires. This
demand existed at a time when the
whole world supply of staple cotton,
he said, had been reduced to 1,500,-
900 bales.

SOME TIMELY NOTES
ON THE HOME GARDEN

Now is the time to begin to select
and care for the soil for the hotped
and coldframe. Proper care of this
soil will insure favorable conditions
when ready for use, says Miss Ola Ov-
erby, garden specialist, extension di-
vision, Louisiana State University. If
old hotbed soil is to be used, the bed
should be covered so that it will not
become too wet A sash or canvas
cover may be used. Provision should
also be made for obtaining good sta
BILE manure when needed A sandy
soil is desirable for the top soil in hot
beds and coldframes. Coarser allu-
vial deposits found along the batture
are often used for this purpose when
available.
