SEVERAL COMPANIES STATE
GUARD PASS THROUGH CITY

Several companies of the state ma
tional guard passed through Opelou-
sas the first Of last week over the
Southern Pacific bound for Alexan-
dria where the annual encampment
of the military organization of the
state is held at Camp Stafford, near
old Camp Beauregard. This is the
first encampment held since the par
tial reorganization of the national
guard. Following the close OF the
great war, practically every military
unit in the state was discharged
from service and it became necessary
to reorganize new units. This work
is not altogether completed and the
encampment this year is the get-toge-
Their Of those companies that have
been modified. The companies that
passed through this city the first of
the week are from Crowley, Morgan
City and points south. So far there
has been no effort made to form a
company in Opelousas.

MISSISSIPPI FOLKS
GET BIG PRICES FOR
BOTH SEED, COTTON
Long Staple Stuff, Grown in Delta
Section, Fetches Thirty odd
Cents Pound

-rrUru or NEWS ron northern Mlss1ss-
ippi relating to prices paid there for
both seed and cotton the day before.
The cotton was no doubt of the long
staple variety and the price paid for
it was thirty-three cents per pound
some premium over prices paid to
producers of the short staple kind.
Cottonseed the same day sold for
thirty-three dollars per ton, an aver
age of $3.50 per bale, which left the
producer a nice profit after the cost
Of ginning was deducted. The same
day seed sold in the Opelousas terri
tory for twenty-five dollars per ton,
and the we'll informed producers
would like to know why this great
difference in the price of this pro-
duct. They claim that there can not
be that much difference in the quality
of seed grown in the delta section of
Mississippi and in the prairie and
alluvial sections of Louisiana.

PARISHES
PROPOSE PLAN FOR
ANOTHER HIGHWAY
Citizense of Allen and EvangeIin
Want Model Road Built
Through to oakdale

At the good roads meeting held
here Monday Of last week opposition
to the general plan of the east-and
west highway running from opeloI-
sas via Eunice and Kinder showed
itself early in action. In the talk
of a delegate from Evangeline, Mr..
fbDerouen, as, well as from the con-
versation of several from the north
ern end Of Allen, it became apparent
that the people of those sections were
not altogether satisfied with the route
as mapped out and presented to the
meeting for approval
Judging from the tenor Of a dis
patch that appeared in a New Or
leans paper, under a Vile Platte
headline, the dissatisfied element is
perfecting plans for a get-together
meeting to boost the building of a
highway through their sections and
on west to some point in Beaure-
gard parish or to the state line ut
the Sabine river. The plan is per
fectiy feasible if there are sufficient
funds on hand to meet the cost here
of.
A graveled road is to be bailt in
the future from Opelousas to the
Evangeline line at the Debaillion
bridge, a distance of about twelve
miles. From that point to Vile Platte
z,zey
to Vile Platte and the general route
from the last named place to Bayou
Chicot, Pine Prairie and Oakdale,
could be followed within few varia-
tons. Port of the road, near oakdale
was gravelled some time ago and the
balance of the road through the pine
woods west of Pine Prairie is in good
shape and will permit building accord
ing to modern ideas without avn
great expense.
Everyone is sorry that the Allen
and Evangeline people are peeved at
the action Of the Opelousas meeting
and their efforts towards building the
road mentioned above should and
does meet with the hearty approval
of everyone residing here.

EXCELLENT HIGHWAYS

The dirt roads through the Coulee

dition and in many respects are even
superior to some Of the gravel roads
in this part of the state. From

road is hard to beat. The roads are
nicely graded and the drainage dit

FRANCIoNI ADDED is
TO |. 5. U. FACULTY

The Louisiana State University has
added mother one of her sons to the
faculty for the coming year in the per-
son of J. B. Francioni, formerly swine
specialist in the state university ex-
tension division, to assist Prof. e. L.
Jordan in the anima husbandry de-
partment. The courses in animal hus-
bandry have become so popular as to
warrant the services of another teach
err and it is belives that Mr.. Franci-
oni is well qualified to fill this posi-
ton.
Mr.. Francioni is native of Louis
lana and was graduated from the L.
S. U. college of agriculture in 1914
While in school he took active part in
all college activities and was a mem.
Der OF the Tiger baseball team for
four years. Since leaving school Mr..
Flancioni has worked in the hog
cholera serum pant of the state live
stock sanitary board for three years,
and has been in extension work for
three years. The positions brought
him in contact with the livestock con.
ditions all over the state and gave
him much practical experience. Mr..
Francioni organized the first COW
testing association in Louisiana,
which embraced the parishes of East
and west Felieiana and East Baton
Rouge This was also the first or
ganixed association in the south.

ing system has been thoroughly re-
paired to guarantee every possible
safety from fire. New furniture has
been received. A progressive mer-
chant is having his home and store
as well as houses owned in town re-
paired and painted. Bids are being
advertised for the construction Of
thirty-room brick school building and
three one-room schools within few
miles Of town. And still some few

M'MILLIN TO HAVE
PLENTY OF RIVALS
FOR ALL AMERICAN
Crack Assemblage of Per-
formers Get Famous as
Season Nears End.
BY JACK VFIOCK.

NEW YORK, Nov with the
football season more than half gone.
many brilliant players have crowded
their way into the limelight de-
handing recognition as aI-Ameri-
can timber. Out Of this assemblace
of crack performers whose playing
has stood out notably in the achieve
ments of their teams the makeup of
the mythical elevens would be cho-
sen. 1t will not be easy to select
the first player for each of the eleven
positions.
There is. as usual. an abundance
of crack backfield talent, and while
such players as DO" AcMillin and
NAL Aldrich stand out in great
prominence, there. is no telling what
player may push them into the back
ground by a series of super-feats
before the season ends. McAIillin.
who seems to be the whole thing at
Centre, is 10 be considered again this
year.
Yet there are several other quar-
trbacks TO dispute McMillin's right
TO the title as the country's premier
in the pivotal job. Killinger, of Penn
State; O'Hearn, of Yale; Euwer, of
Princeton; Buell., of Harvard, and
Romney, of Chicago, are some of
them. How any quarterback could
be much better than this lad is hard
10 figure.
Among the halfbacks, Aldrich,
Yale's captain, looms up as a par
ticuarly brilliant player. Owens, of
Harvard; Clarity, of Princeton; Bar
ron, of George Tech, a great half
back despite the fact that Penn State
stopped him; Wood, of the Army;
Koehler, of the Navy; French, of
the Army; Lightner, Penn State; Da-
vies, of Pitt, Ramsey and Lechler.
Of Cornell, and many others stand
out.
King, of the Navy, and Into, Yale's
big linesman, are two of the great
est tackles of the season. Bentz. of
Penn States, and Lands are fore
most centers.

BY JOHN T. CoRCoRAN.

In his attempt TO wrest the Michi-
gan lightweight championship from
the clutches of Jimmy Brady, of
Chicago, Red Curry, of Kalamazoo,
was knocked out in the fifth round
Of a scheduled 10-rOund bout at tie
charity smoker held last night by
the local EIks.
Curry was outclassed from the be-
ginning. At boxing, which he at
tempted in the early rounds, Brady
was his master, and again, when he
resorted to a smuggling exchange,
Brady slipped over his famous one
two punch to the jaw at the close
of the fifth round, which spelled de-
feat for the Kalamazoo fighter.
Red Stopped Short.
In the early rounds, Curry played
a cautious, waiting game and Brady
was unable to land many effective
blows. Brady easily held Curry off
with his long left, jabbing him al
most at will.
At the beginning of the fourth
round Curry changed his tactics and
started to wade into his taller OPP
ponent and Jared a little better as
far as effective blows were con-
cerned. The fourth and early part
OF the fifth rounds were productive
of fast mauling by both fighters, and
just as Curry seemed TO be going at
his best Brady led with his left to
the chest and then brought his right
up TO the jaw, which put a quietus
to the efforts of the Kalamazoo bat
tier a few seconds before the bell
rang.
Curry was still in bad shape as
the bell sounded for the start of the
sixth round. His trainers worked
laboriously over their man, but he
was unable to respond and Ref
cree Ed. w. Smith, of Chicago,
tolled off the fatal count as Curry
sat helpless in his chair.
The card as a whole was one of
the best ever seen at a smoker in
this city. Perfect order was main
tained throughout and the specta-
tors were guarded against the STALL
ing tactics by the efficient handling
of the boxers by Referee Smith, who
donated his services to the Elks
