BUYERS ARE FooLIRG THEM
SELVES BY HOLDING BACK
FOR A DROP IN PRICES

In, brief this is the flat eontradic
tion to the opinion sogenerally voiced
locally that prices are due to fail
made by several Of the most promi
nent merchandise men who make thi:
territory
The widespread impression created
by news dispatches from the bigger
cities that prices are coming dowr
prompted US to inquire Of these gen
tlemen, whom We know to be in Close
touch with the situation, if there wa.
any good ground for this belief.
In answer they pointed out the in
Vulnerable factors in the present sit
uation which they claim absolutely
prohibit any drop in prices. Invariably
they pointed out the scarcity Of raw
materials in all lines and the difficulty
of securing the labor and transporta
tion facilities necessary for any
prompt relief
In addition the low rate of produe
tion in manufacture because Of labor
scarcity and troubles and the. expect
ed increase in freight rates are men
toned as strong influences for higf
prices High taxes. nigh interest rates
and the probable resumption of trade
with Russia are also declared to be
vital forces in maintaining a high
prices scale
THE present furry" said the repre-
sentative of a big dry goods concern
is Of almost exactly the same nature
as the one we had a year ago in
March, when outing flannels. denims
Gotten prints and percales took drop
A few big dealers were overloaded il
these line and forced selling until
they unloaded Those who waited for
greater reductions suffered a costly
experience.
The wise buyer will take full ad
vantage of any bargain being of
fered now, for fundamental conditions
are unchanged. Consequently. as the
effect on business of this unusually
backward spring wears off the reac
ton win very likely take us to still
higher price level.

URGED COMPROMISE

Prominent opelousas Attorney Asked

Dame rumor has it that ST landry

there is much talk about compromise

would be suitable TO the faction in Of
flee and as satisfactory TO those fight.
ing the administration.
Prominent politicians on both sides
have been expressing the desire to see
partisan politics laid aside in the
iudgeship race, because a district
judgeship is and should be a dignified
Office. Thee andidate should be a
office. The candidate should not be
one who has been elected after a bit
ter political contest. AS a result of
this talk and after casting eyes about
the available timber, it is stated, that
the consensus Of opinion falls upon the
shoulders of Peyton R. Sandoz, who.
it is said win be acceptable to all
factions.
Judge B. H. Payy, it Is understood,
has repeatedly said that he would pre-
fer not being a candidate for re-elec-
ton and openly told his friends that
In. the event Mr. Sandoz would be a
candidate he would retire from the
contest 1t is said that Mr.. Sandoz
has been told tha the would be un-
opposed if he would consider entering
the race.
Mr.. Sandoz admitted TO the editor
Of the Star-Progress that he had been
approached by leaders of the two poli-
tical factions and was being urged to
enter the race. He said however. that
at the present salary he could not
possibly sacrifice his legal practice for
the judgeship. but that If the outlook
for the increase was bright enough he
might decide to offer himself as a
candidate.
1t is an admitted fact thai. the judge
Of this court is inadequately paid. The
salary of $4,000 which the Judge re-
ceiVes is less than any lawyer at the
Opelousas makes at the present time.
He has his expenses TO pay both here
and in Vile Platte and it is said that
these can not beestimated at less than
$1,000. thereby leaving him a salary
Of less than s200 per month for the
most dignified position in ST. Landry.
Mr.. Sandoz said tha the would make
a statement within the next two or
three weeks, thereby acGuainting his
friends in both parishes as 10 his in
tentions.

An OPEN LETTER
To the Honorable Mayor and Board oi
Aldermen, Opelousas, La.

: y IAo ADlO1 Btt Mayor ana Board OF
Aldermen, OpelOusas, La
/ Dear Sirs:-EoW that it seems Ger
tain your good efforts are about to re
suit in securing modern and capa-
cious water, light and power plant, I
want TO offer without cost to the city
( the services of this office 10 the city
! ter Of fire prvention or safeguarding
against fire. . service which We re-
gard as much the function of the To-
/ cal fire agent as the writing of poll
cies.
4 There are thousands Of fires which
are strictly preventable and in con
strueting such plant as is contem-
/ plated, one Of the first consideration
should be location.
It must be apparent TO every one
that the present plant is i'll situated
from every point of view In the first
place ii is TOO far removed from fire
protection, being practically one mile,
over UnpaVed streets, from our single
/ fire station There is TOO great a dis
tance between the source of produc-
tion ana the point Of distribution.
eausing a waste and the ensuing ex-
pense amount Of at least 80 l-3 per
cent
The proposed plant is to be a large
investment, so it should be built un-
der capable engineering direction, and
50 located as to be a civic improve
ment seen and valued by our own peo-
pie, and 10 make a favorable impress
sion upon the visiting and transient
public.
In up to date municipalities. these
plants are located in conspicuous
places. kept clean and attractive, the
grounds beautified and so they be-
come places Of interest and points to
visit. Here, it might be built to in
clude an attractive city hall. without
adding materially TO the cost
With bonds already voted. $3.50. 0O0-
90, the old plant should bring at
fair estimate 100000 making the
sum of $3.50. 10000 available to TO
construct. furnish and fit the new pow
er house.
Once s new and favorable site is
selected. this office is prepared to
place at your disposal, without cost,
the services OF the consulting engi-
neers Of the National Board Of Under
writers, who have made the study of
safeguarding against fire their life
work. During the recent war the Ma
tional Government availed itself of
the service Of these engineers in the
construction and maintenance Of all
its great factories, docks, and plants
for the manufacture of war materials.
and it designing plans for the protec-
ti0n Of wharvss and terminals.
They viii come to Us with tried sug-
gestions. plans and specifications for
preventing fire and safeguards TO
adopt il building this plant, and MI
at no expense to the city In new
construction, many Of these safeguard
ing items cost but little, others are ac-
tual savings in the construction costs,
and all tend to the reduction in the
rates for fire insurance.
In closing this communication, let
me suggest that you enlist public opin-
ion and public assistance in selecting
the site and plans.
Let US make this one improvement
in which the public is interested, and
10 which We can always point with
pride
Yours very truly,
