the donation by the class Of 100000

The story Of the attempted wreoking
of a Central Vermont train in the
tunnel of the Burlington railroad
yard reads like one of the widest
scenarios ever contemplated. The mag
nation Of the young fellow who
wanted to see a wreck" must be d.
rected toward a more safe and sane
basis Of things real and unreal The
possibilities Of such a wreck in the
oooped up space of a single track rail
road tunnel are too terrible for the
average mind to contemplate.

BLOOMER GIRLS
HERE TODAY
FEMALE AGGREGATION WILL
CONTEST BALL GAME WITH

Coming Western Bloomer Girls Base
Ball Club.
Chas. e. Baker, the business man
ager, is in town making arrangements
for the club TO play here on Thursday,
June 18th at the local ball park. One
feature of the game will be the pitch
ing of Miss Kate Becker, the cham
pion lady base ball pitcher of the
world.
The record of this in 1919 was won
1O5, lost 81, and in 1920 won 112, lost
26 games, which is a record for any
league club to be proud of.
The club carries two catchers, one
Mable Bohle, the only lady catcher in
the world, and four pitchers, so as
to always be in good shape to give 4
field. Some people ask DO they use
men?" The answer is yes, few, nat
goodaccount of themselves on the
all, Just enough to make the home
boys step out if they want to win
The ladies' club always uses five girls
in the lineup.
The local boys will have to play in
mid-season form to beat this club OF
ladies above date at p. m. with their
American Legion Base Ball Club. So
let us see you get out and practice
some for this game and let every fan
turn out and root for the home boys.
Mr.. Baker request the home boys to
play as hard as they can to beat the
girls.
AS the clippings show that Mr.
Baker carries from various games
played throughout the country that.
these ladies do know the game and
they will demonstrate that when they
cross bats with the local club. Ladies
are especially invited to attend this
game as we'll as the men. Everybody
turn out and make it a real holiday
in Opelousas.
The stores and business places have
agreed to close from $3.50 to $50 in or
der to allow their employees to at
tend the game.

BONDED WAREHOUSE
GREAT HELP FOR The
PARISH RICE FARMER
Aterberry & Irving's institu-
ton Furnishes Accommo-
dation to Many
CREATES CENTRAL
PLACE FOR BUYERS
Better Prices Obtained
Where Crop is Stored and
Easy to Reach

The depression in the rice industry
is not going to last always. In fact.
judging by present conditions the in
dustry is due to sudden shift for
the better with the harvest and mar
letting of the 1921 crop. The peak Of
prosperity was reached during the
marketing of the 1919 crop, then came
the slump, farmers this past fall be-
ing offered sUeh ridiculous prices as
compared with what they were paid in
1920, that they Indignantly refused to
sell, preferring to store their rice and
await better market. The better
market never came, and the immense
amount of rice in warehouses
lay untouched, unbought and unsought
for many weary months. 1t looked
like bankruptcy for the producers and
allied interests, for it promised to be
a total loss. 1t was produced at a
great expense for labor and supplies
and the unfortunate producer stood
to lose everything he had put in its
production.
Then, a few weeks ago, came the
reaction. A sudden demand sprang
up-a healthy demand, but not at
prices that guaranteed the producer to
break even on the cost of production.
The rice was threatened with loss by
weevils and other bugs that prey on
the grain The farmer, weary with
holding it, and facing mountain Of
debt because of the crop, concluded
wisely that half loaf is better than
no loaf at ALL" and sold as rapidly as
the buyers appeared. The old crop
was menace to the new crop, and the
quicker they got it out of the way the
sooner the industry would be stabilized
they thought. Hence the great move
