OSCAR HILBURN
HAS MADE GOOD
Tampa Times)

Tampa Times)
81 am retiring with my sense of
humor considerably frayed," remark
ed Oscar p Hilburn, retiring prohibi-
ton director of Florida, whose Office
was taken Monday morning by A. L.
Allen, the new appointee.
eff there is any prohibition joke per-
petrated and have not heard thou
sand times, it must have sprung into
being since Saturday. This Office has
been the clearing house for contra
band liquor and stale jokes ever since
I've ben around. With regard to the
jokes, the situation has gotten so 1
can't summon up a ghost of smile
even for comparatively new one."
Allen was at his desk bright and
early Monday going through mass
of correspondence and getting his
house in order NJ. LaMarche, assist
ant field supervisor, with hearquar
ters in Atlanta, is in the city attend
ing to the transference of the Office.
He will remain through Tuesday, by
which time the new director will be
ready to track the willy moonshiner to
his lair.
Although not ready to give out any
statement regarding the personnel of
his Office, Allen says that it would be
such as to give Volstead violators very
little leeway. Not only illicit distil-
leries, but other prohibition phenome-
ma such as gurgling hip pockets and
booze bearing autos are understood to
be riding for a fall.
Only about twenty assistants are
allowed the state officer. With this
small force it will hardly be possible
to patrol the 1.4O0 miles of Florida
seacoast against smugglers, nor to
insure that every kettle-and-worm
viii be silenced. But the new director
promises as efficient law enforcement
as may be possible.
Retiring Director Hilburn, who was
appointed to the post in November,
1919, and has since served efficiently,
will resume the practice of law this
week, in partnership with William
Pencke Officer of the firm will be
located in the Citizens Bank building
Hilburn held a lieutenant's commits
sion during the world war, and was
severely wounded in an attack on a
Hun machine gun nest. Following
his return from the service, he was
made Judge of the juvenile court
] He was presented Sunday with q
handsome gold watch and fob, as q
parting gift from the members of his
department. Besides emil 4ems of the
Scottish Rite and Shriner$' orders OF
Maconry, the testimonial bears the
initials of the following donors: Mrs

Contra band
Associated PressI

New York, Aug. 2.-The schooner
Henry L. Marshall with a. cargo of
liquor was taken into custody late
last night four miles off the coast by
the coast guard cutter Seneca, and
brought here today. The schooner was
flying the British flag but advices
from the Seneca said she carried no
papers showing transfer to British
registry.
HAD DONE GOOD BUSINESS
Officers said there was evidence
that much of the schooner's cargo had
been discharged. Documents showed
that the vessel cleared from Nassau
July 7th for Halifax and also for
Gloucester. Members of the crew de-
tanned gave the names of Clarence
King, M. Murphy, L. Maui and r.
Pike. The captain, whose name was
given as K. Lausen, and the first mate,
E. Thompson, escaped in fast motor
boat when the cutter seized the
schooner. The capture was made off
Atlantic City.

Colony Celebration
Was Splendid Affair

who had had only few months school
ing, having them add and multiply on
the stage. That the little ones could
add three rows of eight figures was a
revelation to those who knew how
long the little ones have been in school.
The basket picnic which followed the
speaking was perhaps the most sue
cessful event of the day. Hundreds
of Leesville people had motored down
for the afternoon, and stayed to W.
the exhibits and enjoy the picnic. T.
mingling of the visitors and the cC.O.s-
lists was much enjoyed by all.
After the picnic another recess was
had before the theater was invaded,
where several elocutionary and vocal
numbers were rendered preceding a
playlet entitled "A Girl That's Differ
ent, wherein the uniqueness of the
Llano girl is the theme. A five-reeI
movie picture, From Dusk to Dawn"
written by Frank E. Wolfe, member
of the Colony, who is now in the East,
was shown, concluding the entertain
ment for that day.
On Monday evening, after a day of
resting and visiting, the hotel was the
center of attraction, where a fine ev-
ening's dancing concluded the ceIebra-
ton, and many happy faces of Ver-
mons best citizens as they navigated
the floor with their laughing partners.
was evidence enough of the happy time
for all.
Many Of the colonists worked hard
to make the celebration success, var
ious committees handling the necessary
details, and the orchestra being espe-
cially deserving of thanks for its SER
vices at the dance and at the theater.
Fine weather, fine entertainment,
fine exhibits, fine eats. and fine spirit
combined to make the May Day of l9-
III one long to be remembered.
Vernon Parish Democrat. (Leesville, La.) 1917-193?, 1921-05-05

The lumber shown was chiefly of hard
wood varieties, magnolia, cherry, oaks,
beech, ETC., all planed to perfection
and appearing to the best advantage.
Also a Llano-made potato crate was
shown Of very superior construction,
which are being produced for the mar
ket.
Regarding the bricks, an expert de-
clared them to be second to none.
The brooms manufactured here are
of superior workmanship and are CIV
ing the best CT service and universal
satisfaction.
The heating stove turned out by the
sheet metal work department is very
durable, a quick heater, and very pop
ular.
A wagonmaker's display shows that
the colony has added a much needed
industry to the parish, and the pro-
ducts are equal to the best.
Specimens OF shoe repair work on
display set forth what the colony's shoe
shop is able to turn out in reconstruc-
ton work on dilapidated shoes.
The display of vegetables from the
gardens of the colony shows what can
be accomplished in the parish. Cab
bages of splendid size and quality. let
tuce, carrots, beets, and Kindred
sweet potatoes show that all vegetables
can be grown here to advantage.
The meat department of the colony
was represented by some splendid ba.
con and hams cured from their owl
stock. The fat Duroc hogs make fin,

at all, when you think of it, that the
Llano system of having the little ones
help in the gardens, is more nearly in
keeping with Froebel's ideas than is
usually the case with kindergartens,
and they profit accordingly in deveI-
opment and aptitude.
The printshop had fine display of
up-to-date commercial job work, book
lets, and books, and indicates the ex-
istence of an industry pregnant with
potentialities for very great enlarge
ment.
The harness shop also displayed
some fine work, and properly stocked,
offers prospects for a very valuable
industry, where farmers of the parish
may go for harness and repairs.
The Photographic display was a fine
one. This is new department, only
lately established, and promises to be
very valuable acquisition to the in
dustriaI field. A unique novelty was a
Photographic reproduction in natural
coIorS of an oil painting, duplicating
the original so completely that most of
the visitors believed it to be a real
painting.
Esperanto students made a display
which was unique indeed. There were
monthlies and weeklieS from all Euro
pean countries, from Africa, Asia, Aus
tralia, North and South America. Also
books of all kinds for the study of this
international language. Letters and
postcards from every land under the
sun show the vast extent of correspon-
dence and mental intercourse that the
use of Esperanto makes possible. Some
one enthusiastic Esperantist was most
of the time in attendance to extol the
usefulness of Zamenhof's language.
The display of the membership de-
partment, made up of envelopes show
ing postmarks from every section Of
the United States and seven foreign
countries, gave an inkling of the extern
sive correspondence which carries the
name of Vernon Parish, Louisiana, in
to all parts of the world.
1t was really cruel for the bakery to
display such tempting cakes, candy
and other goodies and then expect us
to keep hands off and restrain appe-
tites. but by heroic resolve it was ac-
complished.
The display of cane syrup as to col
or, aroma and sweetness, received
many favorable comments.
The exhibits in the clubhouse were
from the saw mill and accessory in
dustries, from the brickyard, from the
wagon shop, from the broom factory,
from the garden and meat department.

FLESH FOOD

The flesh of animals, fat and lean
together, contains, as does a grain of
wheat, every one of the fourteen ele-
ments of which the human system is
composed, but not in the same propor-
tons, or in the same proximate prin-
ciples.
In one hundred parts of the carcass
of an OK, of average fatness, are of
food for brains, ETC., about 4 for
muscles and tissues, IS; for heat and
fat, 30; water, so. In wheat, for
brains, ETC., about 2; for muscles and
tissues, average, IA; for heat and fat,
TO-; water, IA.
The muscle-making principles in
wheat are gluten and albumin, while
in beef they are fibrin and albumin;
but each of these principles SO perfect
ly agrees in chemical composition as
to be considered mere notifications of
the same substance, and being dried,
contain precisely the same elements
and in the same proportions.
The heat and fat-producing princi-
pies in wheat are sugar and starch,
principally starch. with very little fat,
while in beef it is fat only; and as fat
produces two and half times as much
heat as sugar Or starch, and beef con-
tains more than three times as much
water as wheat, the differences of the
heat-giving powers of wheat and beef
are much more nearly alike than it
would at first appear.
Everything wherein there is life. ''
God (Nature) gave to man for meat
as the green herb, and as a matter of
fact, we find in all these living things
the same elements as in the products
of the green herb. An analysis of cod
fish and haddock gives just about the
same proportions as lean beef and
mutton, and only remarkable differ
ence being in the amount of phos-
pilates, which are much larger in the
fish.-BelIows, in The Philosophy of
Eating.

Arriving early Sunday morning, the
farmers and business men from all over
Vernon Parish came to what once was
known as Stables to partake of the
spirit of JOY and jubiliation attending
the eighth birthday of the Llano COL
ony, which was founded in California
In 1914 and later moved to this Parish
three years ago.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the sports
were set in motion, there being races
for all sexes and ages, sack races, ropea
climbing, pole vaulting, and other ex-
plots which held the interest of te vis-
itors for two hours.
During the recess for lunch, the vis-
itors entertained themselves with visits
to the exhibits which were on view in
the schooIhouses and which are de-
scribed in another place.
At two o'clock the speaking was be-
gun, when MIR. CantrelI introduced Mr.
Pickett, manager of the colony com
pany, who explained to the large
crowd why the colony was in Vernon
Parish and what it is doing here. Mr.
Pickett is a staunch believer in Yer
non Parish, and he said that this il
the best place for a cooperative set
tlement. Uncle Jake" Rhodes, al
old-time campaigner and one welI-ac
quainted with the South and its peo
pie, was well-received, and showed b.
object lesson with five men what CO.
operation really is. His five men were
producer, rent-lord, interest-Iord, pro-
fit-lord, and consumer at the other enc
of the line. He showed that what
the producer produced was taxec
three times before it finally reached the
consumer. Then, by eliminating the
three middlemen, he brought consumer
and producer together and termed the
alliance cooperation.
After this address he produced some
examples of arithmetic by little tots

THE LLANO GIRL
AT COLONY THEATER

Last Sunday eve was a gala night
at the Dixie Pride Playhouse. The
theater was crowded to the limit with
an appreciative audience, bubbling
over with fun and good humor. Some
young people from Leesville took part
in the game and rendered exquisite
songs and splendid recitations. Robert
Lindsey recited Patrick Henry's Call
to Arms and received an ovation.
The vaudeville play, The Llano
Girl, in two acts, was a corker. All
the players acted their parts with a
vim and proficiency that was hardly
to be expected from mere amateurs.
All of them displayed superior talent
and they gave to the play an air of
reality that taught an impressive les
son. 1t set forth clearly the superior
ity Of a psychology that evolves when
woman is economically made se!f-de-
pendent and placed on an equality
with man. Her support is no longer
made the foot ball of any mans whim,
but she faces him on the level under
all circumstances. The Llano Girl"
made decided hit, and when her just
claims are met and all girls measure
up to her standard, the world will be
that much happier for it.
After the play a five-reel film of
an industrial nature was shown en-
titled From Dusk to Dawn" the work
of one of their members, Frank E.
Wolfe. 1t showed the trials and tribu-
lations that the workers have to endure
the dangers they have to face every
day they go to work. How they are
spied upon by professional trouble
makers, who do everything to create
disturbances and i'll feeling in the com
munity, but it also showed how labor
forces are gradually integrating into
class-conscious organizations and slow
ly advancing to victorious self-rellant
power,

Iproducts when cured in the old south
ern fashion.
Out under the trees was the live
stock display of the Colony, showing
thorobred Holstein heifers and bull
the nucleus of splendid dairy herd
a big short-horn bull which attracted
the attention of all lovers of good
breed. The exhibit of Duroc- Jersey
hogs of splendid quality delighted the
hearts of lovers of good hogs, and was
in contrast to the razor-back variety
which rambled about outside the pens.
But the biggest displays, after all.
were the established industries and the
cleared acres which have been denud-
ed of stumps and can now be worked
with Fordson and gang plow and other
up-to-date agricultural machinery.
1t has all to be seen to be properly
appreciated. And occular apprehen-
sion and verification is the only proof
that will satisfy some people anyway.
The Colony certainly has demonstra-
ted that complete cooperation is the
thing which will count in the future,
and they invite all to come and see,
as the speakers said at the celebration.

me tell you, friends. the days of the
small farmers and the small business
man are numbered and we are only
showing you how to protect yourselves
and insure your future happiness. Are
you worried about your financial con-
ditions? Worried about unemploy-
ment? Are your children getting all
they need to make them strong and
healthy? Is your job or your business
secure? If you succeed, do you not
do so at the expense of your neigh
bors? Now why is this? Simply be-
cause of your competing with your
fellow man for loddars. Here in the
Colony, We do not compete. We as
sist each other and each is entitled
to the same benefits as all others. In
stead of taking dollars as standard
we render service. Therefore the
greater the service you render the
greater your reward and the more use
full you are to the community. Out
side you are judged by the dollars you
have. How many dollars have you?
Where is your standing and what
hopes have you of raising your stan
dard by your own efforts? Queer old
world where men will fight each other
bIindly, instead of seeing the world of
wealth about them and enjoying life
to the fullest extent. Say-when you
come to the Colony, buy your ticket
to Stables, La, for all trains stop here.
