gray head-conversing In intimacy.
This corner Of the porch was COM
monty known to the hotel guests as
the "Watterson-Ri corner" The
friendship between Marse Henry Wat
terson and James Whitcomb Riley was
based upon appreciation Of one genius
for another.
II one had ventured near enough
to these two he could have heard Nh.
Riley reciting his poems over many
times to Colonel Watterson. ColoneL
Watterson would ask Mr.. Riley to re-
cite "Granny's Come to Our House to
Stay" over and over again. They
were constant companions except
when Colonel Watterson played golf,

was Nm invalid many years before his
death.
On one Of Mr.. Riley's birthdays the
school children celebrated with a pa
rade. Mr.. Riley recited many Of his

ELTON JUMPS TO PROMINENCE
IN THE JOURNALS COLUMNS

Readers of the Journal will note
with pleasure the debut OF Elton in
its news columns this week. This new
departure was made possible by the
public spiritedness of Mrs. Lionel
Bertrand, who with her family has
recently moved to Elton from Weslh;.
Mrs. Bertrand is familiar with Elton
and its people, having previously re-
sided in the community, and is also
well versed in newspaper work. The
result, we know, viii be pleasing to
the citizens of our neighboring COM
munity, in as much as they do not
have a paper all their own. This de-
partment will undertake to furnish a
useful substitute, through which pub
lie interest in the community may OBJ
tain a measure of the publicity to
which it is entitled.
Mrs. Bertrand will represent the
Journal In a business way as well as
in an editorial capacity, accepting sub
scriptions, advertising and commercial
printing.

ACCIDENT At BELL.
CITY COST LIFE Of
]. wynn WALKER.
With Skull Crushed by Falling Tree
He Lived Nearly Six
Hours.

j. Wynn Walker, son of Rev. and
Mrs. r. NJ. Walker, of Bell City, was
killed by falling tree last Monday.
The young man and his father had
just finished saving down a large oak
tree. The tree in falling struck an
other tree, breaking some limbs, and
although the young man moved quite
AWAY from the tree, one broken limb
was hurled with great force to where
he stood, striking him on the fore
head with fatal results.
The accident occurred in the yard of
Allan Hebert. The young man was
thought to be dead at first, but after
some effort heb cyan to breathe. Ev-
erything was done for him that could
be done. DR.. Watkins of Lake Charles
was summoned and was quickly there,
but he at once pronounced the case
hopeless. He regained consciousness
only once for moment,and then said
"This is serious" He died at $40
that evening.
He was twenty-three and a half
years of age, and YVES young man of
unusual good character, was a con-
sistent member of the Methodist
cuhrc, and his life was above reproach.
Those who knew him intimately had
the greatest confidence in him.
The blow comes with great weight
to the father and mother, because he
was so careful to look after their ev.
cry comfort. His mind was to remain
with them and be their support in
their old age, and his highest desire
was to make them comfortable and
happy.
Besides the sorrowing parents, he
leaves four sisters, Mrs. r. L. Weldon,
of Welsh; Mrs. Ira Hebert of Hayes;
Mrs. Garland Hebert, of Bell City;
and Miss Rita Welker of Bell City;
two brothers, Hugh and Moses Walk
er of Welsh.
Funeral services were coducted
Tuesday afternoon at the family resi-.
dence at Bell City by the pastor, Rev.
S. L. Riggs of Lake Arthur, La. as
sisted by Rev. w. B. Hebert, of Bell
City. Interment in the Welsh Cemetery
On account of the long distance
travelled with the remains and threat
ening weather, interment was made
Immediately on arrivalhere, about ~:
90 o'clock instead OF at 800 O'Clock
as was announced. and in consequence
large number of friends of the fami-
ly who anticipated attending the burial
services were not able to attend.

The Farm Labor Question.

The past season has shown that the
question of labor on the farm is one of
vital Importance Seven million farms
in this country needed additional labor
Some relief was afforded through the
release from the army of thousands of
men who were either employed in out
door work previous to the war or who
through their army experience have
come to prefer outdoor work to that
which they were doing before they en-
tered the army. But the problem was
not entirely solved in this way, as the
supply of labor released through the
Rehabilitation of the army fell short
of the amount needed by the American
farmer.
The obvious solution to this problem
lies in making the farm attractive to
labor and in making full use of all Ia
Dor saving devices at the service of
the farmers. Factory hours and fac
tory wages still attract labor despite
the fact that the actual working condi-
lions are far less healthful than those
on the farm And or course city life,
too, is a powerful attraction. The far
|mer, however, is not at the disadvan-
tage he once was. The tractor and
other improved farm implement have
made work lighter and in the last year
or so there has been tremendous in
crease in the use of small electric
light and power plant which not only
give us bright light as that enjoyed in
the city but which furnish power for
pumping, churning milking separating
washing and a hundred other tasks
which used to make farm life druid
gerry. On these improvements rests the
farmers chance of securing the help
| he needs.

WELSH AND De RIDDER
EACH TOOK ONE GAME

In the series Of two games of ball
here Wednesday and Thursday it was
a fifty-fifty break. De Ridder took the
Wednesday game by score of IL to 2,
while Welsh turned the table Thurs
day with 5 to 3 victory.
The game Wednesday was not inter
esting as neither team played what
might be called good base ball. A SER
les of blunder in third inning allowed
De Ridder to run in four scores, there
by putting the game on ice. Smoky"
Joe Woods pitch a fairly good game
but struck out only 5 men, The famous
Kitty Knight who was engaged to do
the twirling for Welsh was far from
being in good trim. He only struck
out one man in the whole nine innings
and disappointed the grand stand by
his failure to hit safe. De Ridder play
ers hit him for seven safties (they
imagined it was a thousand).
Thursdays game with Ryan, the
home pitcher in the box, proved much
moro interesting. 1t was good game
from start to finish, and both teams
showed up tc advantage.
De Ridder has a first class ball
team, one that they can we'll afford to
back. Welsh has a good team too, but
all ball teams have off days.

LAKE ARTHUR PAPER
WILL Be REVIVED

EnrOute to their new home in Lake
Arthur where they will conduct the
Lake Arthur Herald, Mr.. and Mrs.
W. c. Tufts stopped in Welsh to spend
Saturday and Sunday. The past six
weeks they have spent in Minnesota
and Wisconsin, bidding adieu to their
old friends and more particularly the
Frigid cline. They shipped their print
ing plant from Eyota, Mimi, to Lake
Arthur and it arrived there last Friday
SO it is assured that the Herald will
soon again take it's place among the
Southwest Louisiana newspapers.
Mr.. Tufts accepted a position with
the Journal last winter, and soon after
his arrival he discovered that this Sec
tion offered the ideal location for a
man of his temperament. He discover
ed and freely announced that 40 below
zero weather was not necessary for
human welfare. His next step was the
securing of a suitable business loca-
ton. We are confident that he chose
wisely in selecting Lake Arthur, and
also believe that the people Of Lake
Arthur will have occasion to appre-
ciate the coming of he and Mrs. Tufts
to their community. Lake Arthur
needs a good weekly newspaper and
Mr.. and Mrs. Tufts are well equipped
for its production.
