some SUGGEST THAT
CITY REPEAL Law
MEAT MARKET ORDINANCE Is
STUMBLING BLOCK IN WAY OF
LOWER PRICES

It has been suggested often and is
still being suggested, that the city
council repeal the meat market IL
cense In effect for many years. Those
interested state that IL the city would
pull down the bars and let in free of
all license farmers and others having
beef and hogs for sale there would be
an immediate reduction in the price
consumers have to pay for. dressed
meats. AS it Is, the ordinance COM
pels all retailers to pay one dollar per
day for the privilege of selling meat
within the city limits, and this shuts
out any farmer who has surplus meats
for sale as he can not afford to pay
the cost for the reason that he sells
only at times.
Many farmers, directors to the law
state, would be glad to slaughter their
surplus cattle and hogs, dress the
same and peddle the meat in large or
small quantities direct to the consum-
er, but the strong arm of the law steps
in and puts up its objections to their
so doing. There has been agitation
before this for the ordinances repeal
but no action whatever has been TAX
en- and as long as it remains in effect
producers of meat win have to dis.
pose of their stock on foot to the
butchers and the butcher in turn can
charge the consumer whatever price
ne cares to exact for the dressed
meat. The city council might look
into thi smatter and see If the ordi
nance's repeal would be advisable.

MOLASSES BEER
GETS ONE in BAD
JAo-PRoDUclNc FERMENTATION
CAUSES THREE BOYS TO GET
HILARiousLY DRUNK

Most folks in this country knew
long ago that beer" made at small
syrup mills, when properly fermented,
had a kick like a big mule. During
grinding season the skimmings from
the the boiling syrup was thrown in
a barrel and allowed to ferment but
few drank it. Occasionally it was
given to hogs, horses or cattle and
these animals Immediately threw a
barrage"-that is, they were drunk.
However, no one thought of selling
this so-called beer, but since the days
of prohibition any old liquid that has
the desired kick" no matter what
the taste, is eagerly sought for and
drank with relish.
This led Marshall Dupre, merchant
and farmer of Plaisance, to CONNER
cialize the beer" made at a nearby
syrup mill. Three young fellows liv-
ing at Grand Prairie, namely, Willery
and Lee Jones and young Soileau,
iourneyed to Plaisance a few days ago
and bought some of Dupre's beer. 1t
is the holiday season and naturally
the thoughts Of many young men ma
(turally turn to kicking" liquor. Re
turning home in an inebriated condi-
tfon they attracted the attention OF
the ward constable who placed them
under arrest. Later they were ques-
toned by the sheriff as to where they
secured the liquor and finally admit
ted the facts. Dupre was arrested un.
der the charge of selling intoxicating
liquor. He furnished bond and was
released.

PRINT SHOP lNsTALLs GAS
ENGINE FOR TEMPORARY USE

Failure Of the light plant did not
put the newspaper office out Of CON-
mission, though it is sadly handicapped
by the lack of light and current to
drive the electric motors. We bought
new gasoline engine Saturday and
installed 1t at once, with sufficient
shafting and betting to drive all ma
chinery. Using temporary lighting ar
rangements for night work-such as
tallow candles and dry battery flash
lights-made this issue possible
though somewhat late in publication.

ALEXIS sANDoz PRESCOTT

OpelOuSdS was SHOChOu to'oS
day at the sudden and tragic death OF
little Sandoz Prescott, elder son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ. Prescott, who
died of a severe case of tetanus after
hours of agonizing pains. A week
prior to his death Mrs. Prescott and
her two children came from their
home in Jennings, where Mr.. Prescott
was connected with the Southern
Rice Growers association, to spend
the Christmas holidays with her moth
er. Mrs. P. A. Sandoz and other rela-
tives here. Shortly after their arri-
val in Opelousas Sandoz went off to
play with other children to whom he
had been neighbor when his pa
rents resided here. Away from the
mothers observant eye, he and his
little playmate found their way to
nearby store where they bought toy
pistol, known more Familiarity in the
parlance of the child as blank A
game of cowboy" soon came to an
abrupt ending when the child shot
himself in the hand The injury was
attended by physicians and pronounced
as not serious. Eight days later when
the slight wound had healed and
the little fellow apparently was al
right the deadly malady, lock-jaw, set
in. The serum was administered We'd
nesday evening and for a time he
showed signs of improvement. But
the suffering from the disease and
the operations proved too great a bur-
den for little Sandoz's tender years
and his life was snuffed out Thurs
day afternoon IL 40 before tender
and loving relatives could realize
that a period OF sorrow was upon
them.
The funeral was held Friday after
noon at o'clock from the child's
grandmother, Mrs. P. A. Sandoz
where he died Countless friends
came to sympathize with the family
in their bereavement and to offer con-
dolences for the untimely death.
A trait unusually rare in child,
little Sandoz loved flowers and even
in his youthfulness he seemed to re-
gard them as Natures most bounteous
gift to man. AS though the fates
we're kind to him, a number of rich
and beautiful floral offerings were
banked around his little casket by
sympathetic friends from here and
elsewhere as it was moved tenderly
away to rest.
), Death sSeks its victims everywhere
and in all the ages of our being. AS
its call the gray-haired veteran to.
ters to the welcome grave and then
1t strikes down the strong OF limb and
stout of heart, but to those whose
hearts are radiant with the love OF
human kind its sting is saddest by far
when it stills the laughter OF little
children who yet do lisp the name
of God and man. Coming at this time
it is sadder still for where is that
child who is not dreaming a dream
of Santa Claus, of the mirth and mer.
riment of Christmas, of a day in toy
land, If it is only for day.
But that is Providences inscrutabla
way. His death has dimmed the light
of househould and left its trail OF
sorrow and anguished and bleeding
hearts, and the love which nutured and
fondled and caressed must now com
mingle with the. thought that beyond
the dross Of earthly things a baby
sleeps in eternal happiness, and there
in find their only consolation.

ONCE MOREHT The
CITY POWER PLANT
"HORSDU COMBAT"
One Engine Breaks Friday
Night, Second Saturday
Morning
NOTHING LEFT BUT
SMALL MIDDLE ONE
Crankshafts Sent to New Or
leans for Repairs and
Nothing Doing Before

.
The Opalousas e1ectri" light plant
is again on the bum, after being in
apparently first-class shape for some
days Friday night the crankshaft
of the north" engine, broken some
time ago and welded at Alexandria,
broke again, placing it again on the
retired list. This was bad enough,
but, like the old comic picture, the
worst was yet to come"-and it wasn't
long in coming.
Big Engine Follows Little
Early Saturday morning the south
engine-the big machine of the out
fit and which has been the main stand
by during the days of stress, also
broke its crankshaft and went out of
the running. That left the plant with
Just the small middle" engine, which
is entirely too light to do much else
but pump the city's supply of water
and not strong enough to carry any
part of the electric load.
Repairing the two broken crank
shafts will consume much time, as
both broken parts have been rushed
to New Orleans where they will be
welded and returned here for the
powerhouse force to again place in
the engines. Until these crankshafts
are repaired and returned here the
city will be entirely in darkness and
homes and business houses will have
to again return to the old tallow can
die and oil lamp.
Seventh Heaven" Proves Myth
Mr.. Jordan, superintendent, had just
reached that happy frame of mind
called the seven heaven of delight,
and was congratulating himself and
the people Of the city that the troubles
at the power plant were practically .
thing of the past. He said recently
that the engines and other equipment
were running as we'll as could be ex
pected, considering their material con
dition and the many break-downs they
had recently went through with. He
| felt sure that with proper care nj
further serious break-downs would oc
ours. But it is the unexpected which
always happens, and it happened
again at the Opelousas power plant. Il
the small engine alone had gone or
the blink things electrical would MOI
have been so bad, but with two en-
gines out of the running, and one o.
them the big unit of the plant, ther
an absolute shutdown simply had tc
come.

 SIGHT IN SPAIN

Madrid, June 4.-Twenty-five thousand sightless persons are added to the popu- lation of Spain every year owing to in attention to cases of smallpox, measles, scarlatina, meningitis and the other ef- fects of sexual maladies, writes Count de la Fer, in Fl Sol The count asks why Spain thus makes people blind and then abandons them to life of iniser- able mendicancy in many cases. He points out that they are neither properly cared for nor educated so tha they may take care of themselves. He says most of the institutions for the blind. and there are many such establishments in the coun try, with rare exceptions are inefficient and anticipated with teachers lacking the necessary training. The blind are taught very superficially basket and box mak- ing or the most elementary music He declares nobody believes in their eff ficacy, although many give subscriptions out of pure charity.
 The count deplores 'the traditional ignorance of the Spanish authorities which do not heed or take advantage of the experience of the United States. Eng land and other civilized countries in dealing with the blind.''
