The long and satisfactory

The fairness of our prices.

The style of our garments.

The rich quality, the exclu-

PLYMOUTH ROCK
BREAKS WHILE BEING MOVED

PLYMOUTH, Mass, Dec. 20.-Ply-
mouth rock was removed today and
broke during the process. The split
was an old one caused originally
when the rock on which the Mayhow-
err passengers landed was separated
from its granite base in 1775 and
hauled by yoke of oxen to Town
Square. Ultimately the broken parts
were joined with cement and replac-
ed under a monumental canopy
which since has been the mecca OF
thousands Of visitors to old Plymouth
In connection with the Pilgrim ter
centenary committees work, the
shore line is being restored as near
ly as possible to its aspect at the
time Of the Pilgrims arrival 300
years ago, and a new monumental
canopy is to be built.
1t was while excavating for this
work that the rock was moved today
While it was in chains the ancient
cement gave way and the two parts
separated so that light could be seen
between them. BY tomorrow, when
the tercentenary exercises are held
it is expected that the old base will
be fully exposed and the divided rock
replaced on it in its old position.

that level is exhausted the work can
be continued at level after level to a
depth of 1000 feet, as shown by Dor
ings, and, as the drill stopped in salt,
there is no telling how much deeper
the deposit may extend. At Jeffer-
son Island, a few miles west-north-
west from the Avery salt mine, a
well was drilled many years ago by
the famous Joe Jefferson, who owned
this tract, and salt nearly chemi-
cally pure was found at a depth OF
ID feet, which persisted for 1900 feet,
at which point drilling was stopped
"These are only isolated examples
Of the great salt deposits of Louisi-
ana. It is thought by DR.. Robert
Glenk, director of the State Museum
at New Orleans, that the salt depo-
sits extend under large part Of the
State, and have merely been pushed
near to the surface in the process OF
forming the peculiar domes that are
so interesting a geological phenom-
enon over the coastal plain Of Louisl-
ana and Texas. Salt is. found in
great masses beneath the gypsum
that underlies the sulphur deposit OF
the Union Sulphur Co, near Lake

LANDS REFUSES TO SENTENCE
MEN ON THEFT CHARGE.

Alternative, Federal Jurist
Declares.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.--Judge X. M.
Lands refused to sentence six men,
charged with stealing 600 sacks OF
sugar from trains in interstate com
merce, after learning that President
Wilson had last week granted par
don to James J. Dorsey of Gilbert,
ILL.,, known as the "millionaire cattle
king"
Dorsey was sentenced to eight
years in Leavenworth, by Judge Ian
dis after conviction Of selling several
thousand head of tubercular cattle
throughout the west under forged
papers representing them as govern
ment, tested and healthy. He began
serving sentence June 4, 1919. Last
July President Wilson cut the sen
tence to four years. u.s..

Judge Lands declared in court today
"Dorsey's activities ran into thou
sands of dollars, while these men
stole only "a : few hundred dollars

TAGGING BEHIND

An exchange from Lafayette re-
Gently published the following article
descriptive of conditions in our
neighboring parish of Vermilion.
Their statement Of the case is so
correct that we reprint it and add to
it our wish that they may get to-

Roads In VermiliOn.
At this time, when Lafayette par
sh is finishing her hardsurfaced road
system that will be the best in any
parish in the state, and Acadia, St.
Martin and iberia parishes are spend
ing thousands of dollars in grand
effort to drag their highways out OF
the mire, it is the source of sincere
regret that only Vermilion parish is
tagging in this great improvement
scheme. Almost isolated by rail, the
great hope for the future of Vermil-
ion in the line Of transportation and
communication with the outside
world lies in an extensive road-build-
ing campaign that will give Able
vile, Gueydan, Erath and other
points in that parish first class sys-
tenn of hard-surfaced roads that will
connect up with New Iberia, Lafa-
yette and Crowley so that regardless
of weather conditions all these cities
will be accessible. Vermilion is a
wealthy parish and can well afford
the millage that would be required
| in the construction Of first class
system of hard-surfaced highways
and we believe that if the question
were properly presented to- the vot.
ers they would be as enthusiastic re.

ishes. Vermilion has the worst roads
in Louisiana and they are a drawback
to business and a handicap on the
progress and development of thai
rich parish. One hundred miles OF
first class roads would cost about
81 ,250,O0 and would not entail any
considerable tax burden on the peo
pie. They could pay for these roads
in a process Of easy taxation thai
never would be noticed. The onl!
way Vermilion parish ever will vot'

| iealousies between their towns ant
communities are such that instead Of
boosting for each other they are lay
ing awake nights trying to figure out
some way to hinder each other. This
is the wrong spirit and until it is
overcome Vermilion parish will have
to trail the procession of Progress
We sincerely trust it will come soor
and that Vermilion will be allowed
to take her rightful place among the
parishes Of south Louisiana.
