The Herald this week received a
located at San Jose, Calf. Ole is
quite enthusiastic over the delightful
climate there and feels rather sorry
for us poor mortals who have to en-
dure freezing blizzardy weather Of
northern Montana. But Ole has been
travelling around so much the last
few weeks that he has missed his
copies of The Herald and so of course
does not know that the ice went out
of the river on Thanksgiving day
and that the river has been open ever
since, or that each day is SUMMER and
balmier than the one previous.
He says in part: eve miss the
Herald so much, so please send it to
us here. We arrived here about two
weeks ago. We made several stops
along the line, but there wasn't any
place that appealed to us until we
came here.
San Jose is one OF the most beau
tiful cities in California. They call it
the Garden City of California and it
surely is nice little city. 1t has
population of $4,000 or more. 1t is

Debaters at Work
The members of the debate teams

take place at Assembly on Dec. Is.
One of these teams will debate with
Glasgow. The time and place have
not been decided yet.
The debate on Wednesday was
much enjoyed by all. The debaters
were Dorothy billiard, Alden Gren-

In order to give the people who
are behind in their work chance to
catch up before the end of the Sc
mester we have formed new classes
in Plane Geometry and Algebra. Mr..
Poore has charge of the Plane Geom-
etry and Mr.. Ekren has the Algebra
division. The eighth history class
may be divided so that the backward
people will have a better chance to
pass at the end of this semester. We
want to do everything within our
power to get these people thru. A
failure in a subject is unnecessary
in most cases, if a remedy is applied :
early enough. !
Stick to School
Ninety per cent of the pupils who !.
fail to complete the eighth grade 9
never return to any kind of school.
This is also true in high school. A J
student who drops his work and
plans to return later very seldom

Rice MiIlers, Growers
Agree on 81 to 6 Rate.

The Rise Millers' association,
with headquartersi in New Orleans,
settled late Monday their long
standing dispute with the River
Rice Growers, with headquarters
at Donaldsonville, and the South.
ern Rice Growers, with Offices at
Beaumont. The millers agreed to
buy their rice through the Rice
Growers association, and pay 81
to IS q barrel for the higher
grades of rice. This will be done
unless something unforeseen occurs,
The agreement is expected to
stabilize the rice market.
Under the agreement, virtually
clinched, the miller will get 8 or
9 cents a pound for the finished
product, and the consumer can
then buy it for 124 cents pound,
whereas last year he paid Is cents
q pound But this was due to the
fact that the growers received
$11.50 q barrel at that time, and
the miller 123 cents = pound.
COMMITTEE FIXES PRICES.
To avoid trouble, a valuation
committee will be appointed. This
committee, under direction of q
control committee Of seven, will
fix grades and prices, and endeav0r
to make them uniform.
A plan has been propounded by
the three associations by which
81 1000, 900 will be obtained for q
national advertising campaign to
increase the consumption Of rice,
expected to ensue with the drop in
prices the common man will have
to pay. This money will be raised
by the rice growers contributing 5
cents barrel on his products and
the miller 5 cents also. Then
pool wiz be formed.
To SET UP FUND.
Money from this pool will also
be set aside AZ q fund to meet
trade difficulties. Ten million
dollars will be apportloned for
this, thus preparing against dis
ruptlon of United States rice
markets by exports of rice.
All this ives decided at a |

The mayors were +. j. Druilhet, Of
Jeanerette, and Mayor p. s. Pugh, Of

other day and each took separate
party of local nimrods with him. The
fields and woods soon echoed with
the reports of their shotguns.
Along came Agents Clark and Mar
liiouget, of the department of con-
servation. The first party they ac-
costed was that of Mayor Druilhet.
They arrested the Mayor, Joseph Con-
soulin and +. p. r. Landry on charges
of hunting doves out of season.
Hunting the hunters was good that
day for the agents. The next party
they bagged was that Of Mayor Pugh,
of Crowley. With him We're Elmer
Rire, A. j. Broussard and c. W. Un-
derwood. In addition to hunting out
of season charges, the agents added
BE count of hunting withouta license
