ence takes part in many of his tricks.
Reno uses a number Of pets In his
entertainments. and he allows the
children to play with these pets be-
tween times. There is always a rush
OF boys and girls to the stage when
Reno makes his appeal for assistants.
Among the many bewildering tricks
performed by Reno is one in which
he takes lads watch from loaf Of
bread when it it supposed TO be locked
securely In q wooden box. Again he
lights candle, wraps 1t in heavy pa
per and later takes it from his inside
coat pocket, still burning. He shows
the children how to make two doves
out of one. He breaks an egg In pan,
lights q fire underneath 1t and then
pulls out duck. Everything Reno
does is done with an exceedingly clever
pair Of hands.
On a recent swing through Ohio
Reno appeared in Cleveland, Column
bus, Cincinnati and other cities, and In
every case enthusiastic reports were
received by the Redpath Bureau.

RENO, THE MAGICIAN.

Edward Reno has been n magician
for more than thirty-five years. He has
travelled in every quarter of the globe
and IS constantly inventing new things
in magic and illusions with which to
mystify and entertain the public.
During the hour and half that Reno
has the platform he executes sixty or
more tricks, two or three times as
many as are shown by the ordinary
magician.
The running-fire of comments as
Reno puts over his tricks are about
as amusing as the tricks themselves.

ST. LANDRY MAY BE
NEXT OIL FIELD
DISCOVERED
Leases Being Taken in Every
Section of the Parish and
Indications are Good
RUMOR DRILLING MAY
BEGIN IN SIXTY DAYS
Many Concerns and Individu-
ais Buying Up Leases on
Thousands of Acres

Who knows but that st. Landry
will be the next big Louisiana oil
field to be discovered? In all prob
abilities this may come to pass as for
the past month or two much activity
has been noticed in the leasing of
property in every nook and corner Of
the parish.
One of the men who represents an
oil company, and who has leased hum
dreds of acres of some of the best
probable oil land in the parish, told
a representative of the Star-Prog-
ress on last Tuesday that his COM
pany would be ready to drill within
sixty days. Just where the first oil
well viii be bored he could not tell,
but said that he expected to have
something interesting within a short
while.
St. Landry has long been recog-
nized as a possible oil producing par
ish. Indications have been found in
almost every corner Of the parish,
particularly west and southeast of
Opelousas. Many of the big oil con-
Germs, it is said, have leased, through
individuals, thousands of acres of
land. The Texas Oil Company, it is
understood, recently bought the min
eral rights of the tract of land in the
fourth ward for $17,50O-a strong
indication that operations is expected
shortly.
The oil fever seems to have seized
the entire state, and as the people OF
st. Landry have always been firm in
their belief that some day oil would
be found in abundance here, the "fe-
ver' seems to be prevalent among
many of those who believe st. Lam
dry will develop a real oil field be-
fore the year 1921 dawns upon US.

Chairman E. M. Boagni. 1T is high
time that the farmers unite with the
business interests Of the South to
protect our one great staple and to
secure fair and just return upon
our prdouct. Every man should be in

upon it is founded the progress and
prosperity of the South The mem
