MIR. AYMOND ASKS
Says He Can See End of His Troubles
In Sight, and It's Not the First
End, Either

II Dame Fortune will be kind enough

ent Aymond believes that the people or
opelousas vii not need to stay at home
nights or stay awy from home at night
because they are afraid to go home in

established a reputation for being

formances and he viii not even now,

times despaired of condition of hay-
ing lighted streets viii be reached.
However. he outlined the situation
very clearly.

Mr. Aymond is very careful to say
positively that he viii make 10 def

The short shutdown last Saturday
night was caused by the bursting OF
one of the hot bulbs WHICH furnish ig-
milton for the smaller engine. As these
bulbs aare kept at a white heat it was
something of a job to put in new one
At once but it was accomplished in a
very short time.
Another bit Of trouble experienced
last week was the breaking of a spoke
in the Fly wheel Of the engine now be-
ing repaired. Fortunately the Service
Garage was able to weld the wheel SO
that no great delay was caused.

LOCAL WAREHOUSE
HANDLES MUCH OF
SEASONS RICE
Thousands of Bags Come to
Opelouas for Storage
In Building
SPLENDID WEATHER
IMPROVES GRADES
Unfortunate Market Condi-
tions Do Not Bar Produc-
GERS From Harvest

Mr.. Irving, partner with Mr.. Atte-
berry in the ownership Of the NAM
moth rice warehouse located on the
Gulf cast Lines tracks in Opelousas,
says that many thousands Of bags of
the rice produced near this city have
been received by them for storage.
The owners Of this new institution
are also large producers themselves
and their immense crop has been han
died through their warehouses here
and at Lawtell. Shipments of their
own crop are. being made to Crowley
where the milling industry is center
ed.
According to Mr.. Irving, the splen-
did weather the last month or so has
materially aided the farmers in saw
ing their rice in first class shape. and
owing to favorable weather conditions
the grades of the grain have been ex-
eellent, very little low-grade stuff ma
terializing.
However, the farmers have been
confronted with an unfortunate situa-
ton in the market. In fact, there has
been no market worth mentioning, and
few sales have been reported. Last
year abnormal prices we're obtained
and the crop Of 1920 was. made at
great cost and producers naturally
expected to receive a price consistent
with the times. In this they missed
their guess for the milling interests
are apparently out of the market and
are not making any offers for the
great crop.
Various causes are assigned for this
remarkable slump in rice values and
demands. A year ago much of tht
low-grade rice was shipped to Eu
rope. but this source Of marketing has
been cut off by the fact that Eu
ropeans are nov rapidly getting OF
their feet and producing their owl
food. The war brought on a condi
/ ton in the industry that popularizet
rice as an article of diet and it was
| extensively used in the army. Nov
1 that the armed forces have been de
mobilized, the discharged soldier has
returned to his own peculiar methods
and not having been raised on rice
he naturally does net consider it 9
staple article of diet
This, then, is the conditions which
face the rice grower. and it win re
ouire an extensive and expensive
campaign of spreading propaganda al
to the many fine qualities Of rice as
feod. spasmodfc efforts along thi:
line have been made in times gone
/ by but they always proved abortiYt
and were dropped.
Now, however, a large portion o
Louisiana will have to look to rict
as its chief staple crop, as cotton un
doubtedly is a thing of the past
/ Hence, in order to make rice payint
crop for the producers it viii be nee
essary to get its many qualities-befor'
the people of the nation and thus in
duee them to buy it for a constan
article of diet. This, then, is tn
great work before the rice interest,"

dealer in this city. A telegram from
C. w. Matheson acting general sales
manager, to the local dealer, reads:
Dodge, Brothers policy has ever
been to give full value for the price
asked.
There will be no reduction in the pres
ent prices Of Dodge Brothers motor

trary are absolutely untrue.p
Dodge Brothers announcement was,
no ssrprise to us, said Mr. schuler.
IN fact, It Is only substantiation Of
Dodge Brothers business principles.
At no time have they ever demanded
an excess amount for their product
AS. m the past, they win continue in
the future to deand a fair retunrn for
their efforts.
"The mere fact tht the demand for
