TRAINS RETAR0 HARVEST
MARKET ON INCLINE
While the Yield is Disappointing in
Most Instances Quality is
Very Good,

Two lots of new rice were sold by
the local Office of the American Rice
Growers Tuesday and five lots Thurs
day. The top price for the week was
1897 61-100, for lot of Early Prolific
raised by J. R. Cline q Son, which
was sold Thursday. The j, w. Narans
Prolific brought $3.50 Tuesday.
Frequent showers the past week.
though not heavy enough to delay
cutting of the rice crop, have delayed
threshing of the early crop to great
extent, with the result that there il
little rice on the market at this
point, The few lots that have been
threshed so far this season have come
to the warehouse in excellent cOndi
ton and have commanded q ready mar
ket and satisfactory prices. Indica.
tons are that there will be a steady
market at profitable figures through,
out the season.
Farmers in many instances are com
planning that the yield is not up tC
expectations. If this condition also
applies to the Blue Rose, harvesting
of which is beginning, the market will
receive added impetus
The weather man could gain rep
right now by inaugurating period of
fair weather.

Police jury Also Plans Reduction

The overburdened taxpayers will be
pleased to note that at its last regu-
lar meeting the Board of Trustees
in passing on the budget Of expenses
for the town during the year 1921
reduced the tax millage from is to IL.
This it is believed will not interfere
with any public work that is going

made in the millage covering the cleo
trio light bond issues and interest &C
count.
The Police Jury is also planning
substantial reduction in the millage
of parish taxes, the exact amount Of
which we are not informed, but what
ever it is will be greatly appreciated
by the taxpayers, who, though they
are not complaining about paymen
for the many public improvements Sc
cured during the past few years, have
found it hard to raise the money II

Serious Dangers Before the American
Shin of State.


One of the greatest evils of our
times is the growing demand for re.
ligious legislation. This demand on
the part of religious organizations is
becoming more and more insistent
and in instances the civil authorities
are yielding to it. The foundation
pillars of civil and religious liberty
are being thus assailed by their most
relentless foes.
Religious organizations that arc

ting their sails to catch every wind
that that blows, but they are working
in the dark, under cover, camouf1aging
their real motives. They are adopting
he U,boat methods in attacking the
hip of state.
Civil liberty and religious liberty
stand or fall together. No nation car
ong maintain one without the other
They are the two compliments which
make the proposition complete. While
We are striving to make the world
safe for political democracy, we mus
not forget to save the world from re
ligious autocracy A religious tyranny
of the majority COnfederated for the
purpose of controlling political insti
tutions and depressing the minority
is not whit better than a religious
autocracy of few which menaces the
rights of the majority.
Alliances of religion and politics
are wrong in principle, and always
dangerous to the cause of civil anC
religious liberty. The results of such
a combination can only be civil anf
religious despotism. A union of re
ligion with the civil government is
incompatible with the teachings of the
New Testament. The medieval Gus
tom of uniting thee. hurch and the
state in so-called christian nations
is not an outgrowth Of true christian
principles, but is practice borrowed
from pagan nations, whose prevailing
religions we're always fostered by, OF

COTTON GIN READY
TO BEGIN OPERATING
Seed Cotton Will be Brought from
Sections of Parish Where
Quarantine is Lifted.

A. R. Arceneaux, proprietor of the
Globe Warehouse, announces that the
Welsh Cotton Gin has been thorough.
ly Overhauled and is ready to begin
ginning, Considerable cotton has been
grown this year in Wards l, 8 and 4
and he anticipates much of the pro.
duct will be brought to Welsh to be
ginned.
Last season the gin did not operate
because the quarantine covered the
entire parish, but it has been lifted
in few of the wards this season anC
there is possibility that the entire
parish will be free the coming season.
If so, cotton growing will be entered
into again quite extensively
The Welsh gin is one of the best
equipped and most modern in this sec.

doing large business now if the pink
boil worm had not put quietus on
cotton growing in this section.

"Homer Comes Home"

Those likeable comedies of small town life in which Charles Ray has established such a large following have been augmented by Homer Comes Home" which presents the star in another of his famous charac- ter studies. This time MT. Ray ap- pears as Homer Cavender. a country youth. who goes to the city and gets d job, then comes back to his native heath to startle the natives. Homer is considerable of a dreamer and when he gets to the city and becomes identified with certain promoters, he conceives the dream of establishing a factory in his old town and electing himself manager.
 A vacation comes to him and he takes his employers advice-that the old town shouldn't be neglected. So he goes home to the scene of his former failures. And how things have chagned. He is certainly the man of the hour-what with his city clothes and breezy manners. He takes ad- vantage of his position to put over his pet scheme and marry the belle of the town in the bargain. The pic ture is punctuated with those delight ful touches which have characterized all of Rays photoplays. It is a simply, little play, rich in humanity, and heart interest. and unbounded hu' nor. The star is again his natural self and his support contains some of the best talent in pictures. Agnes C. Johnston, d scenarist of ability, adapted the picture from story by Alexander Hull. while Jerome Storm directed.
 Homer Comes Home" is the biz Charles Ray show at the Central for today only.

Riders of The Dawn"


 We have Roy Stewart. Claire. Jo- seph J. Bowling. Robert McKim. Marc Robbins. Frank Brownlee, Frederick Starr, Violet Schram - real troupers who never give any trouble"
 Hugh Ryan Conway, directer for Benjamin E. Hampton in the latter's production of Riders of the Dawn. !" screen version of the famous Zane likes handling all-star casts such as appears in this picture.
 If you've ever worked and sweat ed-not perspired, but sweated, - with inferior actors, and finally lost your temper and cussed at them, and then got helplessly beyond any eXpres- sion of tongue and longed to kick them-then you can realize what a blessing it is for hardworking movie director to handle people like we have in this cast" MT. Conway, told a Los Angeles reviewer
 Like in an army. the morale of ones picture company is important. That is another immense advantage of the all-star picture. The players know that they have a good story, for big special productions cost too much to build them around indifferent stories. They know that no part will be submerged to make another domi- nant, because. again, such features are too big to spoil by catering to one persons egotism. So everyone IS is cheerful and working hard"
 Riders of the Dawn" is the attrac- tion at the Eagle theatre today and Monday.
