A Texas and Pacific train struck an
Italian named Vincent -Biondolillo at
the Main street crossing Of that road

iuries that brought death at 8 o'clock.
The man was 81 years,,1 month and
8 DAYS of age, and is said to have
been in a very feeble condition, also
being defective in hearing.
1t is said that the man was cross
ing the tracks of the railroad and
did not hear the approaching train,
though the engineer pulled the
whistle cord and the fireman rang the
bell OF the locomotive repeatedly.
When the man saw the train he made
an attempt - get off the track but
was st-ack by the engines pilot and
thrown from between the rails with
much force. His skull was fractured
and he was otherwise injured. Rush
ed to the local sanitarium, the man

OPELOUSAS HORSES
WIN HARNESS RACES
AT ABBEVILLE SUNDAY
Healey and WaIlIor Drive to Victory
in Both Contests Best
Heats Out of 5

Jim HeaIey and Remi Wallior went
to Abbeville Sunday and drove their
horses, "Nigger" and Little Dillon"
to victory in fast and exciting con-
tests, mile heats, three best out five,
the winning horses going under the
wire in three straight heats. Healey's
horse had been beaten. at the 6onque
track near lafayette Sunday or two
ago, but showed this past Sunday
that he could put it over, though he
is blind
The track at Opelousas has been
repaired and there will be races on it
next Sunday. Horsemen from sew
eraI points in southwest Louisiana
will be here to participate in the
races, and Jim Healey says there will
be a real good time This is the first
time there have been any races here
in many years, and an attempt viii
be made to revive the sport on the
local track and encourage the breed
ing of fine horse again.

member to be selected from each dis
trict and the terms of office to over
lap. For example, if this plan should
prevail the commissioner from the
first district would enter for two years
the commissioner from the second
district for four years and the COM
missioner for the third would hold
office six years. Thus each two
years only one new member would go
on the board, leaving two Of the old
members holding over.
According to reports from Baton
Rouge the Schell plan is gaining in
strength and adherents and it would
not be at all surprising if the three
commissioner idea would be written
in the suggested compromise measure
which is calculated ii heal the breach
existing between the warning factions
and unite all elements on a Simple
plan that would rebound to the in
terests of the proposed road system
of Louisiana This is the great stumb
ing block in the effectfng of compro
mise, for it is recognized that all the
smaller details of such a compromise
could be easily smoothed over and
made satisfactory to both sides.

Commission Causes Clash
of Conflicting Opinion

Settlement of the clash in the legis-

highway commission may be brought
about by an agreement on a COM
promise measure satisfactory to all
sides to the controversy. There was
a public hearing held asst night on the
two propositions now before the legis-
1ature, one set of bills with the one
man commission being fathered by
the administration and former Cover
nor Sanders, the second set, with the
three-man plan, fathered by Represen-
tative Schell and Senator Bowling.
These two latter solons presented
their argument before the committees
last night.
Both factions to the dispute are so
opposing in their views that it is
highly probable that neither will get
the right of way as to measures pro-
posed, and the harmonfzing element
of senators and representatives favor
a plan that win bring all sides to the
argument together on a compromise

BLUE ROSE RICE
SOLD AT OVER 81
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OFFERS
SMALL LOT AT AUCTION AT
CROWLEY LAST SATURDAY

The Crowley Daily Signal of Satur-
day stated that the local branch of
the American Rice Growers associa-
ton offered small lot Of Blue Rose
rice at public auction that day, the
same being bid in at s415 per stan
dard barrel. The rice had been pre-
maturely threshed and was not in the
best condition. However, the price
paid, according to the Signal, is the
highest paid this season and would in
dictate that the bulk of the rice crop
will bring the producers a price even
higher than four dollars.
Threshing and marketing Blue Rose
isnowu nderwayandthere
is now under way and there will be
lively times until the last bag passes
from the hands Of the producers to
the mills. The demand is better than
for a long time, and as Blue Rose

from the crop this season.
All the Early Prolific and Edith

these varieties do no produce as
much fancy head rice as does Blue
Rose and the other late varieties, the
price paid for the former is not az
good as that paid for the latter. AL
farmers plant certain percentage

kinds in order to harvest and sell IL

cient amount to bring them in casl

DRY CHIEF SAYS
HOME MADE WINE
PERFECTLY o. K,
Cities Ruling on Making Fermented
Stuff of Justices Of
Fruits, Etc.

There has been such a "miscon-
Fiction Of opinion on the right Of
individuals to make wine for home use
under a permit granted by the federal
prohibition commissioner, that that Of
ficia decided last week to clarity mat
tiers as to the provisions Of the Vol
stead law relating to the manufacture
Of wine for home use.
The commissioner says that heads
Of families are not required to obtain
permits from the prohibition authori-
ties. but merely are expected to give
notice to the state prohibition direc-
tor OF their intention to make no more
than two hundred gallons Of wine
from fruit juices which shall be non
intoxicating in fact and for exclusive
use within the makers home, says a
washington dispatch. Such quanti-
ty. it continues, is free from tax by
the federal government.
To manufacture more than two hun.
dred gallons the maker must register
with the state prohibition director
and give bond and pay tax on all
wine in excess of the two hundred
gallons allowed by the law.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, OF
American families. constituting the
law wrongly, have made wine for
some home use beyond the two hun
dred gallon limit, and this excess Is
liable for taxes. There has been no
intention on the part Of these people
TO violate the law but violate it they
did and they stand liable to be forced
to come across" with the revenue
tax.
Evidentaly the law requires that
even the two hundred gallons allowed
shall not contain more than one-hali
Of one per cent of alcohol, but this
fact has never been considered by
the people who made their home sup
ply they believeing they had a per
feet right to make wine of any alco
holic content beyond the one-hah Of
one per cent, and their failure to com
ply with the law makes them liable.

The astounding demands upon american
industry OPEN unparalleled opportunities

WITH only 1-16 of the worlds
w population and IA of its land
area, America today is called on
to furnish
-onc-quartcr of the worlds
agricultural supplies
-onc-third of all mineral prod
uctS
third ofallmanufactured
goods.
We as a nation must produce
more this year than ever before.
The record harvest of 1920 must
be duplicated. Last years eight
billion dollars worth of exports
must be surpassed. And at the
same time we face the gigantic,
ever-present problem of supplying
1O7,OOO,OOO Americans with food,
clothes, housing, and all the requi-
sites of life.
A tremendous job-but a tre-

man and woman with energy to
seize it.

warded as never before"
Fafigne-the greatest enemy to
your success today
Whatever you're doing-in office
or shop, in business life or indus
trial life its the same story: you
must have energy to stand the
strain!
Yet the conditions of modern
city life are making it harder and
harder for us to preserve this vital
force. Shut in on every side by
walls of stone and steel, subject to
inccssant nervous strain, forced to
work at an ever-quickening pace,
millions of Americans today are
suffering from overfatigue. Every
morning they are tired before they
start-every night they go home
exhausted. Disease stands ready
to fasten on their depleted organ
isms. Day by day fatigue slows
down their pace. Their energy is
gonc-success for them is
impossible.
. A certain amount of fatigue is inevi-
table, but too many people waste their
energy needlessly. Many are unconscious
