You will notice that this shows that
in Louisiana and Texas there are only
3,llj,009 sacks of rice on hand. This is
an actual count by districts, farm to
farm and includes rice in warehouses,
barns and under the straw, and has
been re-ehecked during the past ten
days.
This amount of rice is comparatively
small, particularly when you figure that
this includes rec that will be used for
feed, seed and for planting the next
crop. You can cOnservatively estimate
that ar least three hundred thousand
sacks will be Used for seed and feed,
leaving not quite two and three quarter
million bags TO be disposed Of i'll Lou.
isians and Texas,
The distribution Of rice last month
va: $4,000 pockets, which IS encOur.
aging considering we have sold no As.
ISOLATION rice for a month,
We are In receipt Of wire from Nj
Ralph r. Merritt, president of the Pa
cifc RIGS Growers Association, stating
that their crop will not exceed two and
a half million bags of 100 pounds to the
bag, or 100000 of our bags. This Is
less than was anticipated. California
is already shipping rice to Japan and
California rice will not interfere with
our markets.
Our advice 10 the memoers of the
American Rice Growers Association is
to let none Of their rice be sold at the
price now being offered. Hold firm. ard
with the financial assistance that YOUR
association will receive from the War
Finance Corporation, you vii be able 10
market your crop in an orderly man
ner, at certainly, mucA higher pri, -
that are now being offered.
Yours truly,

Amateur Baseball.

People who love baseball become very
critical about it. They are sore on any
thing short of major league talent. If
a player makes one error, they yell to
have him taken out They commonly
feel that if town can't afford fast
professional team, it is not worth hav-
ing any team at all. So they are apt
to discourage attempts to organize
baseball on an amateur basis to take in
lot Of the common run of players.
Yet you don't. get the good results of
athletic sport by sitting up on bleacher
boards and watching someone else
acquire skill and develop his muscle.
The city of Dayton, Ohio, worked out
very well last year the benefits Of
amateur baseball They had had
trouble in getting backing enough for a
good professional team So they under
took to organize amateur ball, and $751;
600 was secured. They formed SO
teams, played 1876 games, before audi
ences aggregating 100000 people.
There were 1906 players. ...-s.
Over thousand men were thus en-
couraged to keep up their athletic de-
velopment. The aggregate of the audi
ences must have been larger than a
team could expect to draw in a season
i'm that sized city. Young people were
given a wholesome recreation and sport,
and encouraged to find their enjoyments
at home. e'- ; s.-:&sl, z,@...-:. -.

Home Town Feeling.

The home town means lot more to
some people than to others. Some peo-
pie: do not feel close ties to any place.
They move around without feeling of
regret or loss. They do not feel badly
to. part with the friends they make, be
cause they do not create intimate ties.
They do not acknowledge obligation to
work in cooperation with their fellow
citizens, and no one, feels any obligation
to help them along. They play lone
hand all their days, and never get far.
Other. people have an intense feeling
of loyalty binding them to the home
soil. 1t is partly sentimental affection,
partly keen sense of the advantages
of business unity and cooperation.
They feel united by a common tie to
all the people who live in the town.
Warren has a lot Of people Of this
kind, who have been the mainstay of
al our progress They feel a keen in
terest in every person or thing that was
ever connected with. the place, and any
project tending to work for it's benefit
has their hearty and enthusiastic sup
port.
In so far as all our people acquire
that point Of view, we shall attain our
ideals as community. This Involves
giving a preference in all our business
relations to anything that comes from
the home town. II "a suit of clothes
sold here is just as good as one bought
somewhere else, we should buy the. suit
of clothes sold here. We might well
buy it, even if twas not quite so good,
but it is not necessary in our good
stores to make that kind of sacrifice.
Is When "a town fully. acquires u that
unity Of spirit and purposes and feel feel
ing, the possibilities of its progress are
enormous. 1t advances as a compact
mass Of people. devoted to one end, not
as a lot Of separate indiyi duals all
working for diverse purposes.

The Path of Life.

There used to be popular air en-
TITLED, "When You Get What You
Want You Don't Want IT,. How really
true this works out in real life can only
be conjectured, yet. in. a great many
cases and under a large number Of cir
cumstances in the average life it is
certainly true. When but child the
average person has innumerable visions,
dreams and anticipations about the fl-
ture and the many desired prizes of life.
The day comes when many of these
things become a reality and oftentimes,
how shallow. how void of the antici-
pated pleasures they often are. Truly,
humanity, in many instances, is BLOW
ing Bubbles" and "Chasing Rainbows."
Wealth, honor, attainments, when
reached or secured, sink into the
routine of life, eclipsed by some new de-
sire, some new vision over the horizon
of the present day. Perhaps, it is well
that prizes sought, once gained, are not
the joys they seemed from out the dim
past, else there would no doubt, be
little progress in the cycle of human
existence If all who seek and find
that which they seek, attained their
hearts desire. and then rested secure in
the sweetness of that dream come true
little would really be accomplished in
the way Of progress. Early dreams
come true, would halt efforts toward
the realization Of those greater and
finer dreams of mature years. Civil.
ization would lag and the wheels Of
progress would grind considerably
slower as a result. Dreams, anticipa:
tions, visions, all of the joys that lie
just ahead in the road Of life, are but
incentives. to Garry, on'' in the great
game bridging the chasm from despair
to success. r5:,.' i, ~. go.

women to be bed Of roses, but like.
other roses they are not without their
thorns. For instance, the wife of a
