LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Inquiry


 Mir. Editor: For some time past the subject of Spiritualism has been un- der discussion in your columns. Some good letters have been submitted for 1t. and some against if. but it is matter to which I had heretofore giv- en little thought. so am not prepared to state my views in regard to ,it Now let us take up Mormonism and the Latter Day Saint Faith. Are they one? If not, in what ways do they differ I have a friend who is Lat ter Day Saint, and she claims that Mormonism is in no way related to the faith. Another friend, from Salt Lake City, Utah, whose father has three wives, claims to be Latter Day Saint, also. I shall appreciate it very much if some of your readers can enlighten me on this subject.

TO DIG OIL WELL
NEAR OPELOUSAS
AT AN EARLY DATE
1T is RuMoRED THAT WELL WILL
Be DUG ON VELTIN FARM
NEAR oPELoUsA

There is rumor being circulated
that a St. Louis Company will within
the next 80 days start digging for oil
on Mr.. Arthur Veltin's place near the
city of Opelousas. We are told that
the project is backed by a large
syndicate and that they have made full
investigation and are highly pleased
by the geological survey. The indica-
tions are, as dame rumor has it,
fist class, and that old Opelousas may
become the queen of oil cities in the
state in the very near future. Some
interested parties from the middle
west have been here for some days
and are eager to see real work ON
well started.
There is no doubt that there is some
thing behind this matter, but to what
extent we cannot say, however we are
of the opinion that oil is plentiful all
through this section and al that we
need is to have a company with nerve
and money enough to make the start.
The quicker the machinery fer the
contraction of the we'll arrives, the
better we will like, and if old rumor
can materlize watch Opelousas place
herself on the map.

FINE SAMPLE OF
HONDURAS RICE AT
PROGRESS OFFICE
GROWN ON JOHN 5RINKMAN
PLANTATION NEAR PORT
BARRE

On Monday we received sample Of
Honduras rice grown by Mr.. John
Brinkman near Port Barre on Bayou
Courtableau. The heads were large
and well developed and Mr.. Brink
man says he has about 100 acres that
he will cut and be ready to market
about August 1st.
There is quite a bit Of rice planted
in the bayou Courtableau and Bayou
Teche countries, and we are correct
ly informed there is about ten thous-
.and acres planted in rice within wag-
on haul from the City of Opelousas.
It would appear from such data that
Opelousas could well afford to have a
rice mill, and such movement no
doubt would receive the hearty sup
port of the people.

DIAMOND GOING UP;

steadily increased in value. Hard

cede. AS soon as the situation i'm
proved the upward trend set in again
Though diamond prices are now the
highest in history think the public

be cheaper. On the contrary, every
thing indicates prices viii continue to
advance until a maximum is reached
which will place the diamond beyond
the purchasing power of any but per-
sons of great wealth.
