.PURVIS HALL, KING OF
MELON GROWERS, HERE

Purvis ", Hall, residing across
Pearl River, has demonstrated what
can be done in raising big crops of
fine watermelons, and he is reaping
a fine reward for his work. Mr.. Hall
planted less than ten acres of fine
melons, and for the mast. several days
has been bringing big loads of melons
to Bogalusa, and after the quality of
his melons became known, the citi-
zens are now asking for his melons.
He brought his tenth load to Boga-
lusa Saturday, and each load brought
good prices. When the bridge across
Pearl Rivers completed, it will result
in the farmers in that section always
finding good market in Bogalusa.

New Names For Dakota States

That one adjective "North" which
forms half of the name of our state,
has undoubtedly been serious
handicap to the states development.
1t instantly conjures up a picture of
bleak prairies, billiards., cold and
snow. II has doubtless kept thou
sands of settlers from coming to the
state to investigate its possibilities
for themselves. If any good adver-
Using man had been consulted when
the name was chosen, he certainly
would not have permitted the word
North" to be included.
The only reason why the choice
of name of this state is now a per-
tinent subject discussion in South
Dakota as to the advisabiity Of
changing the name of that state to
Roosevelt" Some South Dakotans,
it appears, feel that the name is too
suggestive of North Dakota for
their welfare. They want sharper
distinction drawn between the two
states, in view of the political and
financial upheavels in this state
during the last four years. We are
not offended. More power 10 them.
VI South Dakota would charge its
name to Roosevelt" we should be
mere than willing to ret@ia the
name Dakota and drop the pre-
fix. North Dakota's political and
fin ancial troubles will be forgotten
81; months after we return to cur
senses and get one good crop, but
that prefix North" seems to be
hitched to us for all time to come,
and as long as we have it we will
never be able to convince eastern
ers and southerners that Dakota
winter is not something akin to an
Alaskan. If South Dakota would

Roosevelt for themselves it would
be a neighborly act, and we would
forgive them for not wanting tc
