STOCKHOLDERS VOTE TO
SELL Telephone EX.
Will be Under Management of Ex.
Cumberland Man.

At call meeting held in the Audi.
forum last Saturday afternoon the
stockholders of the Planters Tele-
phone Company, Inc, voted 407 to e.
to dispose Of the company's interests
on the basis of an offer received from
W. c. Rowland of Alexandria. Mr..
Rowland, who was formerly Construc-
ton foreman for the Cumberland Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, it is
stated will take charge of the business
on August 1st.
The Planters Telephone Co., was
organized originally to furnish tele.
phone service to the neighboring farm
ers, whom the Cumberland Company
could not, or would not, accommodate.
Later it purchased the local exchange,
and although it has been fairly success
full as a business institution, fire,
storms and expensive upkeep on out
lying lines has kept its surplus below
the dividend point.

JOURNAL WILL CONTINUE
TO PRINT OFFICIAL NEWS
Tbouuh Contract Has Been Awarded
to a Neighboring
Publisher.

On account of a cut rate bid the
contract for the official printing of
he Police Jury and also of the Par
lsh school board was awarded to the
Jennings Times-ReCord for the period
July 1920 to July, 1921. In spite of
ibe fact mentioned however the J0urn.
al will continue to print all official
news Of the parish as heretofore. We
aim to get it to our subscribers much
earlier than formerly, too, because we
will be permitted to boil it down and
omit much of the detail in the official
acts which are from necessity full of
repititiOns.
The Journal has tried to protect the
interests of its subscribers and pat
rOns in the past and will continue to
do so in the future. The paper is now
going on twenty-one years old and it
has no occasion to offer excuses for
any of those years. Its policy and its
course have always been toward the
best for the community and the parish
at large
As an organ for the dissemination Of
local information the Journal is not
quite all that we would like it to be,
but it is all that circumstances will
justify and it isn't losing hopes for the
future. which looms brighter ahead.

RICE CONDITIONS
DISCUSSED At MEET
ms Of FARMERS

At the close of the Planters Tele-
phone stockholders meeting last Sat
urday afternoon at the Auditorium the
farmers of this district held confer,
ence at which conditions affecting the
coming rice crop were discussed. Mr..
&C. e. Carr led the discussion, which
was OPEN dwelling at some length on
the advisability of getting the pres
ent crop in the sack in good condition,
so that there might be no damaged
rice to- hamper the movement of the
corp. asa
Mr.. Carr urged the farmers to turn
a deaf ear to the talk of low prices
which it is too apparent is the propo-
ganda of certain interests. He infer
red that the farmers were altogether
to ready to grab at these bates which
were thrown out for their entangle,
ment
Harvest labor was also discussed at
some length.
9 1t would be ag reat thing for the
farmers if they would hold these get
together meeting at regular intervals,
say semi-monthly or monthly, as seem
ed to suit their purpose best. The
meetings would do much to foster a
unity Of purpose and a closer alliance
of industrial interests. Farming is the
biggest business in the world and it
needs closer organization and alliance
The disposition of the producers
has much to do with the market price
of any commodity and as the past will
substantiate this factor has been
known to dominate the rice market,
therefore the rice farmers should very
closely study the elements of supply
and demand in conjunction with the
other conditions surrounding business
and be in position themselves to steer
successful course. Closer com
munion is one of the means to this
end and that is why conference al
regular intervals would be desirable.
You farmers have ample proof Of
what organization can accomplish
from the record of the Southern Rice
Growers association. Why not go {
step farther and organize locally fol
the handling of local problems?

ATHLETICS EARNED
ALL THEY TOOK
In the Games With the Local Nine
Monday and
Tuesday.

The record crowds attending the
ball games here Monday and Tuesday
had the pleasure of witnessing some
first-class ball, and although Welsh
was defeated in both contests nobody
wants their money back.
The Athletics won Monday by a
score Of to 0, and Tuesday they were
we'll pleased with a to 0 victory At
times during each game the visitors
would have been glad of an assurance
of much lower margin to win.
Credit is due the Athletics for play
ing ten perfectly good men, as
manager White is one of the most
valuable players on the team, though
hi swork is done outside of the line,
his seasoned judgment tells effectively
in the results.
The Athletics, however, were not
the whole show in either game though
they played air tight ball. Take for
instance the first fl We innings of Mon
days game In these five innings
Olivier pitched magnificent ball for
Welsh, and the support was perfect
In fact Welsh made only one error
during the game, while the Athletics
ha da total Of five errors.
Truly it looked bad for the visitors
when they came to bat in the first
of the sixth, but after striking out
to men in this inning Olivier walked
Sparks. Olivier had weakened per,
ceptibly. The next two men up to
bat singled, bringing Sparks in fC1
the first run; Weigent walked, filling
the bases and Boyd singled, scoring
Truesdale and" Strain. Wagner was
/ hit again filling the bases, but Paige
was caught out on an infield grounder
In the seventh frame the perform
ance was very nearly repeated al
DIVERS expense. In the eighth inning
there was nothing shaking for tho
visitors and in the nineth they scored
two more, making a total of eight.
Although the Welsh players were
able to hit Sparks with increasing fire.
quency, they were unable to bunch
the hits for a run. Twice they filled
the bases, but couldn't get away will
the home plate.
Tuesdays game, with the invincibl'
Kitty knight in the box for Welsh
was even more interesting. His poiGt
and delivery alone was we'll worth thu
price of admission, and the three lcnt
outfield flies as lagniappe. But for ;

presses us most favorably. His ease
and grace in all emergencies is some
thing to be marvelled at With three
men on bases and a pinch hitter up to
bat, his smile was only little broader

of ability to squeeze out Of the tight,
We would like to see him take the
local nine through another spaSm with
the Lake Charles team.
Speaking of Tuesdays game the
Lake Charles Anerican.Press had the
following to say:
"The Lake Charles Athletics de-
feated the Welsh club yesterday with
the score of three t onOthing.
TIE Athletics massed three runs
liz ine;r nine inp:"gs of the game
against Kitty Knight pitching for the
Welsh club.
"The WelShites came to bat in their
end of the ninth, and with two men
on bases and two men retired knight
knocked one out that would have gone
over the rightfeld fence of the local
park many feet, and hit that seemed
clear out of reach Of the outfielder,
but Paige ran back at full speed and
captured the fly just on the tip OF his
glove and pulled it down to safety:
The catch was one of the most SEN
sational of the season, Kitty knight
hurled down his bat and rather fe-
rociously remarked, chow in the
can we beat that bunch?" The fact Of
the case was that Knight knocked a
clean home run, and the fly should
never have been caught, but Paige
made an unreasonable catch, robbing
the heavy hitter of his home run and
saved the game from becoming tie
yesterdays melee was better than
any other game played with Welsh"

FIRST BAG TEXAS
RICE BRINGS 900

Beaumont, Texas, July 26.-The
first bag of this years rice rOp is
reported by the Southern Rice Grow
ere association as sold today at Bay
City to the Bay City Rice Milling Co.,
The rice was of the Edith" variety
and was grown by John H. Otis at
Wadsworth. It brought the record
price of $500. 1t is reported that
several binders are in the fields in
this Locality and weather permitting,
threshing will be we'll under way in
ten or twelve days.
Taken as a whole, the rice crop is
about two weeks earlier this year than
last year. The first lot of rice sold in
Texas last year was also at Bay City.
NJ. T. Huebner selling 400 sacks at
$13.S6 on August 18th.
The first rice to reach the New
Orleans market this year was sold
there July Goth at $500 per barrel
Last year the first rice arrived in New
Orleans August 4th.
Ideal growing conditions have pre-
vailed over the Texas rice belt the
past weeks, which will, in a measure
offset the late start obtained on ac-
count of continued rains at planting
time, especially in the Beaumont sec
ton.
