the demands have been satisfactorily
met. Through the inter-library

PARISH soLONS FEASTED
ON MELONS BY LAWLER

The newspaper men were invited
by J. G. Lawler to join him and the
members of the police jury at wa
ermeIon feast at the Elk cafe last
Wednesday. 1t was impossible for any
of the pencil drivers and type sling
ers to attend because Of pressing
work in the print shop at that par
ticular time and at that particular
hour. However, we were there in
spirit and we thought we could hear
and did hear in the recesses of our
imagination, the mighty howls Of de-
light as Mr.. LAWYER and Mr.. Dumar-
trait of the Elk cafe sliced the big
melons grown on Poplar Grove farm.
There were about twenty present,
including several invited guests who
were not members of the St. Landry
legislative body. They had big red
melons to their hearts-and stom.-
achs'-content and when the remains
Gust rinds and seeI were cleared
away everyone was too full to speak,
but Mr.. Lawler could see satisfaction
shining out of everyone's countenance
and he felt well repaid for the trouble
and work.

WESTERN TOWN is THE

Monday Last

All roads led to Eunice last Mon
day!
Countless hundreds of citizens of st.
Landry, Acadia, Allen, Evangeline
and Jeff Davis parishes flocked to the
bustling, thriving town Of western
st. Landry last Monday to take in the
festivities staged for that day of cele-
bration of the Fourth of July-the
day Of the American republic.
It was a schorching hot day-one
of the hottest of the season. The sky
was clear of clouds, the sun shone
like a disc of molten brass and a
parching wind blew from the north
west. All public highways were
rivers of dust and human discom-
fort can be imagined under such con-
ditions when the mercury threatened
to shove the top out Of every ther-
mometer as the mysterious liquid me-
tai tried to mount to the TOP OF the
tube.
None of these discomforts, however,
interferred with the journeying of the
crowds to Eunice They overlooked
and forgot the heat and the dust ana
they went by trains and by auomo-
biles to get in the big line and play
their part in the prgram of festivi-
ties of the day.
The Opelousas delegation, humid
dreds strong, flocked out in droves
and covered the twenty-odd miles in
automobiles. There was perfect
stream of dust behind the long string
and the many who braved it all stat
ed on their return that they had never
encountered such cloud of swirling

PLANT BUILDS
los, 1852 IN JUNE

During the month of June, the Ford
Motor company, through its Detroit
factories and % assembly plants
throughout the country, reached the
production of 1O8,962 Ford cars and
trucks, setting a new high record for
one month
Production of Ford cars and trucks
has been increasing since early spring
and shows substantial gains over The
same period last year The |ec7nd
quarter of 1921, viz, April day al
June, shows an output Of 3o1,T9S Ford
cars and trucks against 220,S7S for tn
same three months CT last year, or
net increase of 80.
Despite the fact, however, that the
Ford plants have been running az
maximum capacity, the demand FOR
Ford cars and trucks is not being met,
and at the present time, many thou
sand untitled orders have been piled
I'D ahead so that Ford sales are still
limited by manufacturing facilities ra-
Their than marketing possibilities. Par
ticularly is this true with respect to
enclosed cars, for which the demand
has been unusually heavy.
One reason cited by Ford officials
for the unprecedented demand for
Ford cars is the present tendency to-
ward economy. Many of those whose
names have been added to the long
list of buyers might we'll have. af
forded larger and more costly cars
than Ford, but it is the belief that
most prospective motor buyers are in
vestigating all of the costs incident
to motoring much m"-0 carefully than
at any period duriny the past five
years.
The estimated output Of the Ford
factories for July calls for 100000
cars and trucks, or production OF
1880 a day for 25 days Since the as
sembling of cars is being handled dur
ing an eight hour work day only, the
hourly output will be Asa cars. In 9th
er words, one Ford car or truck leaves
the assembly line every IL seconds.

earth particles that blew in their
faces as their cars negotiated the
long stretch Of prairie road between
Opelousas and Eunice that day.
Eunice had made preparations for
the entertainment of the crowd and
there wasn't single skip in the long
and interesting program, from the
grand parade down Second street
from the Gulf Coast Lines Passenger
station to Park avenue. Every vehicle
in line was decorated appropriately
and the specticle was an imposing one
indeed.
The speeches delivered by the sew
eral orators of the day. including
Attorney L. Austin Fontenot of the
yOpelcusas bar, were typical of such
orations and sounded the real spirit
of unaduIterated Americanism. Mayor
Wyble presided as chairman of the
meeting and introduced the several
speakers to the large audience.
The game of Indian racquet, play
/ ed between rival teams from Evenge-
line and Allen parishes. drew large
crowd to view the exciting game.
Racquet was once popular pastime
and sport throughout the southwest
Louisiana but joined the has-beens
quite a number Of years ago. 1t is
pleasing that Eunice has taken steps
to revive a once popular game which,
in point of science and a producer OF
exciting periods almost rivals base
ball and far surpasses the modern
games of golf and tennis.
The baseball game between Eunice
and Opelousas drew laundering
bunch of fans to the park who stood
the heat and discomfort in order to
watch the rival teams bat the ball and
run the bases. A real baseball enthu-
siast forgets about blazing sun and
tropic heat when things grow exert
ing at a ball game. Some of the OPP
lousas bunch stated they stood in the
sun for two hours or more, entirely
oblivious of the fact that the tempera.
ture stood at nearly a hundred in the
.shade-the Lord knows what it was
in the sun.
The horse races drew a proportion
ate share of the army of people
present in the great little town, and
the ones who didn't like the game of
ball hied to the race course to watch
the ponies stir up the dust as their
flying feet beat the soil of the track.
