sued a proclamation decreeing half

yersary of the signing of the arnnis--
tics and calling upon all patriotlsN
citizens of the state to observe same

follows:
Whereas pride OF nativity ana
patriotism are born of consciousness
Of national worth and prowess, the
commem Grafton of national deeds Of
valor and heroism to stimulate these
most desirable and worthy sentiments
by setting aside periods of time for

"Whereas, the anniversary OF the
greatest tribute Of history to Ameri-

German government and her allies,
thereby acknowledging defeat under
the very shadow Of Moltke and Bis
marck.

The receipts of the fair at Ham

2. | had no sooner reached the
Hammond fair grounds when I was
greeted by a number of the exhibit
1ors-especially in the manufactures
depa rtm ment-who had been at our
fair, and almost the first words they
said were: you have bigger and
better fair at Donaldsonville but the
people of Hammond put it all over
your people in the way they treat
visitors In Donaldsonville we were
held up for both room rent and meals.
It cost US from So to ST a day for
| the eight days Of your fair and We
tell you now that we cannot stand
such expense another year. Here III
Hammond the best rooms are only $
per day and you can get more to eat
for soc. than you could in Donald

f1ibit at another fair in your town un-
less you can give us assurances that
prices will be reasonable"
| Upon my arrival in Hammond
inquired Of the cashier Of the res
taurant-where I ate a good meal at
cost of 55c.-if she knew of a
room in private house which could

New Theatre Opens.

The new theatre of the Community
Company, Inc, opened for business
under most favorable and promising
auspices, last Sunday night. The
opening had been scheduled to take
place at , o'clock ii the afternoon.
and a tremendous crowd Of people
were on hand to witness the initial
performance, but owing to the. diff
ticulty experienced in getting the
machines to work properly, the pre-
sentation of the picture was delayed
until I o'clock, at which time it was
shown to packed house.
The picture selected for the open
ing was "W Olives Of the Night one
of Fox's super-produetions, and IL
proved to be one Of the very best
films ever shown here, and the
large crowd Of people who witnessed
it were loud in their praise Of its
high quality and excellence. Every
evening during the week high-class
pictures were shown, with a change
of program each day, and every of
fel.ing proved highly satisfactory to
the large number Of well pleased per
sons who witnessed them.
The splendid music dispensed dur
ing the performances by the big Foto
Player instrument, which is COM
plete orchestra in itself, is a dis
tinetive feature, and has elected
much favorable comment from the
we'll delighted auditors.
The management feels very much
gratifed over the generous measure

Texas and Pacific at New Low.

The New York Times says: The
outstanding feature in the rails was
the further decline in Texas and Pa
cific, new low being touched. Aps
parently this issue is suffering from. i
lack of oil Some months ago wiler~
the oil boom was at it's height new
phrase came into being, namely, soiI
rails The Texas and Pacific was one
Of the leaders in this group. It seems
now that the prospect of oil being
discovered in large quantities on the
company's property in Texas is being
dissipated And with this there is be
ginning to be more keen realiza-
ton that the road is still in the hands
of receiver. These two factors may
account for the selling which has
been going ON for a week"
With great hopes that oil would be
fplentiful on lands of the Texas and
Pacific, oil tanks were constructed
along the road, the tipple Of Ken
tucky Coal Company, it is said, was
discontinued, and soon the public
were to be regaled with smokeless
locomotives. The above clipping
throws some light on the situation.

THE HAMMOND FAIR.
Observations by Secretary Manager
Vickers OF the South la. Fair.

The Chief:
[ attended the last day of the
Florida Parishes Fair at Hammond
Saturday, October Is, and for the
benefit of our home people | wish to
publish some Of the results of my OBJ
servations. ...
The above is district fair similar
to ours, only it is much smaller with
the three parishes of Tangipahoa,
Livingston and St. Helena composing
its membership.
The exhibits were good though not
comparable to those of our fair ex
cept in the school, textile, art and
swine departments. The principal
ker Stock Farm and the Bowie Lum-
ber Company which were sent direct
to Hammond from our fair at the ex-
pense of the Florida Parishes Fair
Association. The best agricultural
exhibit was that Of the Bowie Lum-
Der Company which also was at our
fair
The exhibit buildings are not only
fewer in number than ours but small
er and of less substantial construc-
ton. There is no order in their ar
rangement and they are all punched
closely together with much result
ing congestion.
There is a small poorly built grand
stand but no race track. Only a
foo foo tbai field and. baseball diamond
The fair grounds are situated
some ten blocks from the business
portion Of the town, with excellent
gravel streets leading thereto.
The grounds are we'll lighted, all
construction work in that connection
rs we'll as material and power being
| furnished free to the fair association
by the city Of Hammond. The city
also makes an annual appropriation
of $500 for the benefit of the fair,
| Contrast this with what our city
does for the South Louisiana Fair.
! Two other features in connection
with the fair at Hammond were in
marked contrast to our experience es
in Donaldsonville.
| /. I was informed that practical
| ly every able bodied citizen, male or
| female, had purchased season ticket
at the price of So for the five days
and furthermore that the tickets were
used so that good crowd was pres
ent at the fair every day and night
This in spite of the fact that there
was only one free act-and this was
in connection with a small carniva
company-no baseball, no races ane
only seven-piece orchestra whict
played all day at the dance pavilion
/ The exhibits, concessions and a will
ingness to help the fair were sufh
cient to draw the people.
4 Contrast this with the sale of les'
than the equivalent OF five hundref
IS2 season tickets during our eight
day fair and expenditures amountins
to nearly $4,000 for baseball, races
seaplanes, free acts, music, etc. TO
entertaining the people.

SHORTAGE OF SUGAR SOON.
Government Expert Predicts q Mean
Famine in 1921.

John B. Floyd, statistician of the
flying squadron of the department
of justice, predicts sugar shortage
the latter part Of the year and the
first of next, Of even greater proper
tions than the one through which. this
country has just passed.
That the people of the United
States will pass through another
period of short supply III sugar be-
fore the end of this year and in the
early months Of the year 1921, |
have no doubt" says Mr.. Floyd Re-
garding the Louisiana crop, Mr.
Floyd states:
THE Louisiana cane crop for 1920
is estimated to produce about 1907
900 long tons, and about 70 per cent
this, or 10000 tons, are likely to
go into consumption in 1920. So the
supply available from these sources,
562. 900 tons, WILL supplement- the
3,714,125 already accounted for in
the net imports for 1920 and the
beet and cane crops produced III
1913 and 1919 and will make the
total already in the United States for
the year 1920 consumption equal to
4,276,i25 tons, or I'd, 564 tons short
of the 1919 consumption. Add to
this the 150, 900 tons increase in con-
sumption and it appears that TIA, ,564
tons of sugar from other sources will
be required to be yet imported this
year 1920 to supply our require
Irnasats
that no sugar at all will be exported
from the United States in October,
November and December of this
year. IF there are exports, more irn-
ported sugar will be necessary and TO
the extent of the exports.
There was less sugar in the re-
fineries on Jan. I, 1920, than on the
same date in 1919 by more than
10000 tons. There was less in the re-
hneries on July l, 1920, than on the
same date in 1919, by $4,000 tons.
These facts show that the sugar
brought into the United States IN
1920 had been distributed and con-
sumed"
| The reduction of fine granulated
ssugar to II cents a pound at the re-
! lfinerv by the Federal Sugar Refining
ICompany has had the effect of re-
|ducing the price at retail. In virtual.
! w every section of New Orleans re.
lcently sugar was selling at not" ex'
feeding l3 cents a pound, this being

Salsburg Instails Granuta tor.

Machinery Of the latest and most
kind for the granulation
of sugar has been installed at the
big Salsburg refinery Of Jacob Liber-
muth, in St. James parish, and the
plant is now prepared to turn out su-
car of the standard granulated kind
equal to the finest and best on the
market. The granulating machinery
and apparatus cost 100000 and a
big force of expert mechanics were
engaged several months in their in
stallation. The equipment ranks with
the best to be found in any factory
in the state and henceforth the plant
will manufacture only high-grade
granulated sugars. Mr. Libermuth
is to be congratulated upon the spirit
of enterprise displayed by him in
eouipping his factory so as to enable
it to compete with the best in the
country in the higf-grade of It's

Stop the Dangerous Practice.
Donaldsonville La, Oct. 81, 1920
In your last issue you called atten-
ton to the danger of automobiles
travelling the streets of the city at
night without lights. Last Thursday,
during the early part of the night,
three cars passed through the crowd
ed part of Railroad avenue within Il
half hours time without lights.
Now that the parking ordinance has
gone into effect and is being strictly
enforced, why not enforce also the
ordinance prohibiting the dangerous
practice of operating cars at night
without lights. Drivers Of such cars
are invariably irresponsible and
reckless and they should be stopped.
