Real Spring weather is our blessing
this week Flowing has been resumed
by nearly all the farmers who are ap~
preciating these fine days.
There is a comparative lull in the
rice market. No sales have been m
here, nor shipments out, during the

stood that the price is going down.

OBITUARY..

Dura Clements was born in Acadia
Parish August 9th, 1899; married Jan
uary q. 1919 at Roanoke, La, to Noah
Labby; died at her fathers residence
north of Welsh January 2Sth, 1920.
She is survived by her husband and
infant son. Lester, also by her father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Eular Glenn
ents. and one sister. To the writer i'm
mediately before her death she eX
pressed her full faith in Jesus Christ
as her personal savior, and her belief
that in a fairer world than this she
would meet with her loved ones in the
larger house of God not made with
hands. She was conscious even when
"she touched the dews on hebron S
bank" and the passing to the promis'
ed land was very peaceful.
In life's early morning, in the full
flower of womanhood, with ties that
were very tender binding her to the
blessedness of the family circles OF
earth, she was called to her cOro'
nation in a country whose morning
sky has no setting sun, and no evening
star; where the mist is more upon
the glass, and the dew is forever
sparkling on fadeless flowers.
A short funeral service was held by
the writer at the family residence
Wednesday, January 2Sth. The next
day the remains were taken to Branch
in Acadia parish, and buried in the
community cemetery in the neighbor-
hood from which the family came.

Uncle Zeke.


Prosperity and financial success are
the things that most people are striv-
ing for at this time, and this should
also apply to our ambition for our
State. Louisiana can never measure
up to the high standard she should
have by right of her wonderful natur-
al resources until some provision is
made for up-to-date agricultural de-
velopment. The Greater Agricultural
College Association is now working
cut plans for a statewide educational
campaign. A Greater Agricultural Col
lege will mean. the proper agricultur-
Ial training and inspiration of our
young men and women, resulting ulti-
mtely in prosperous and happy rural
homes, good roads, better schools, and
the real and lasting improvement of
every part of the State The assOci-
alton is promised the cooperation of
the Commercial Associations, Rotary
and Kiwanis Clubs, Womens' Clubs,
Ministers and Travelling men. Weare
going to have a reater Agricultural
College, but we want the backing of
the entire State in this important en-.
terprise. Help us to arouse the inter
est OF the children in agriculture and
stock raising; the interest of the wom-
en- in the splendid living conditions
made possible by scientific agriculture
The wonderful results obtained by the
vocational agricultural schools through
out Louisiana the last year point the
way to what may be obtained through
a Greater Agricultural College. Let us
all work together and give Louisiana
the high standing she deserves among
the agricultural states.
