The agricultural bloc which held
up the United States Senate's tax
bill until It got what Il wanted put
into the measure, has now laid down
its program for holding up the tariff
bill until IL gets what It wants there
What the agricultural bloc demands
Is an Increase OF tariff duties on farm
products from 25 per cent. to 100
per cent higher than those PROVIDED
in the Fordney measure as passed by
the House OF Representatives. Ex-
amples OF the increases to be insisted
on are mutton. 2h cents a pound,
instead OF 1 y lamb, 4 cents instead
of 2 cents; oats and rye, is cents a
bushel instead OF 10 cents; eggs. s
cents a dozen instead OF 6 cents; gen.
eral poultry, cents a pound instead
OF 4 cents.
But the agricultural bloc is MAX
ing the mistake OF its life in think
ing that what aiis farm prices is
merely foreign competition. Farm
prices are down and far down be-
cause OF diminished consumers
demand for farm products. To in
crease the American public's food
prices is not going to increase the
American public's demand for food
products; It is going to decrease H.
The average farmer is going to sell
less, not more. under the higher
prices. The farmer isn't going &c
get what ne needs-lower huyinl
prices.
Three bushels OF wheat at a dol

for the farmer into a pair OF shoes
are a distinctly better bargain foi
him than three bushels OF wheat at Z

This offers an opportunity for those

Letters to Lovers
That Kiss at Parting
BY wINoNA WILCOX

ask for. but know other men get
It, too. And can't see. as my
bride, any one OF the girls who has
only to be asked to order to deliver
the kiss on demand.
80 how can a man tell modest
girl?"
Probably by eliminating all who
fall short Of his standards
The above letters contain about
all that is to be said concerning the
popular kissing habit. It is widely
at variance with the ancient tradi-
ton for girls-hands off The latter
has its points, fop example:
Have been going with a man six
months. OF course mother does not
know that he teases for kiss every
time he leaves me. I refuse, abso-
lutely. I'm fond of him. In my
heart I wish he would just up and
kiss me. But I'm fearful that II
let him kiss me, he will quit II
would break my heart to have him
stop calling"
Prudence is more charming to
some men than the imprudent girl
realizes. Here's another revelation
ABOUT II, made by man:
II called on a girl for the first
time. and tried for kiss when 1
left. She slapped me. never knew
girl to act so. 1 had to get my
hat and let myself out Of the house.
Ought I to- write an apology? 1
would like to know that girl better. ="
Evidently some girls have redis-
covered the value OF modesty. They
are deep thinkers. They perceive
that IL they cost a good deal, they
will be the more valued as wives.
Moreover, after marriage, they
never VIII look back on certain cpl
sodes with either disgust or shame.

Hitting HePubHc

Mr.. Sheppard reveals himself as
under the control OF an inherited,
idea-something now as archaic in
the railroad business as muzzle
loader is archaic In modern war.
Mr.. Sheppard seems honestly sur
prised TO discover he wasn't hitting
the railroads. Yet ne couldn't hit
them in the sense he means. Blows
from his fist would Of necessity land
on the public. No matter what was
his motive. or intention. or desire,
he could not escape this fact.
Railway net income during 1920
was less than one-third Of per cont.

estimated. This is so nearly no in
come at all that to perpetuate the
rate and wage schedules as they ex-
listed on June 80 last implies no fur
ther railway value to conhscate.
With rates dictated by the Gov
ernment bringing in only enough to
meet the wages dictated by the Gov
ernment and the cost of other man
datory expenditures where was the
money to come from to balance new
losses?

Columbus Day Cele-
brated.

Columbus Day, undec the auspices
of the Knights of Columbus, was
celebrated at the James 4. ne.or,nan
Park on Thursday evening with fit
ting ceremony. Hon. L. o. Pecot,
State Deputy, was chairman of the
meeting.
The speaker Of the day was Hon
Joseph M. Rault, of New Orleans,
who delivered an eloquent ard past
erful address. Patriotic songs were
sung by the school children, and in
spring music was rendered by the
Franklin Concert Band. A large
crowd attended the exercises.
Columbus Day marks an epoch in
the worlds history that means more
for human liberty than any event
since the beginning of time. It open
ed the way for men and women to
find new life in battling with the
savage elements of a new country,
and taught these Courageous spirits
to think for themselves, and in think
ing for themselves they worked out
the great plan Of the free republic of
the United States, the fundamental
principles of which have since been
copied by many emancipated people.

cust be postponed until after the
water hyacintns nave been cleared.
From the best information obtalnable,
t appears thai a depth OF 6 feet IS
lvai!ablc throughout the waterway.
md commerce is being iapeded by
water hya1inth rather than By a
lack OF depth. In this connection, |
nay point out that the project for
the improvement Of Bayou Ieche
adopted by the River and Harbor
act of March 2, 1919, provides for
increasin: the channel depth as far
as keystone Lock, upstream. The av-
ailable funds are, however , INSULT
.iert for the execution Of this work,
and it mist be deferred until further
funds are made available by Con
greSs.
The district engineer states in his
report that III certain localities water
hyacinths have been kept under con
troll through the prompt action Of the
local interests, with the result that
the waterways have been kept clear.
When these plants are young, they
.an be raked out of the waterways at
mall expense. | commend to your
attention the desirability of encour-
aging local cooperation in this form.
When | personally was in charge
# this work a few years ago, | had
the hyacinths practically eradicated
from the principal streams in the
state. | adopted the policy that |
would not remove the hyacinths un-
less the police jury Of the parish
through which the stream ran, or
mercantile or vessel interests or 9TH
er parties interested would establish
a patrol over the waterway to re-
move the plants as they were found
| took the position that the United
States should not be expected to pay
large sums continually for work
which could be avoided if the people
interested in the stream would only
give little assistance and that they
must help. BY agreement with me.
various police juries established pa
trolls on several streams. A man
would cover from five to eight miles
of river or bayou in his pirogue OF
skiff or small launch, and whenever a
hyacinth plant was found he would
throw it upon the bank. After their
destruction by the Government spray
ing vessels. the streams were fairly
clear and the patrolmen easily re-
moved the few struggling plants
which escaped and prevented any
danger Of new growth. | explained
to the police juries that it was i'm
possible for the United States to es-
tablish this patrol because the patrol
man would always leave enough
plants to make sure that he did not
work himself out Of the Government
job; while if he were under police
Jury, parties using the stream anG
those living on it's banks would be
apt to inform upon him if he neglect
ed his duties, and as they were all
concerned in paying his salary they
would be equally interested in secur-
ing good work.
l will bring this matter of patrols
to the attention of the District En-
gineer with recommendation that he
endeavor to have them establish or
the various waterways and would ap-
preciate it if you could kindly assist
in making such an arrangement.
Very trluy yours,

The offering is a travesty on the

maze of sense and nonsense, bewitch-

stage effects.

leading exponents of the continent,

skill in new and beautiful dance
creations, one effort to the music Of

The comedy is uproarious, the antics
of Don Barclay, late of the Ziegfield
Follies, the droll comedy of Dell
Chain, assisted by Hyman Meyer and
Cornish Beck, being most amusing.

action up to concert pitch, among
them being Charlotte Woodruff the
