situation that have been suggest
led.
The committee, however, makes
the following report outlining
what they consider to be the
sense of this meeting.
1St-That toll milling under
any circumstances be discourage
led. Expressed opinion from all
sections believe toll milling to be
the most dangerous evil the rice
industry ever has or ever. will
have to contend with.
2nd-That the sale of rough
rice at the present prices offered
or at any price thai is below the
basic value be discouraged believ-
ing that there is ample rice milled
to supply the present demand;
THAT by selling rough rice at prices
now being offered which is far
below the basic value, the clean
rice now being held to The farmers
account in the mills will neces-
sarily be sacrificed at a very low
price. Therefore, by selling rough
rice at this time, cause a double
loss and work a serious injustice
to both farmers selling rough rice
and the farmers holding the clean
rice.
3rd.-That every farmer who
has rice milled should take i'm
mediate steps to determine how
the rices sent to the mills are be-
ing handled and to instruct the as
Sociation and mills concerning
values that would be satisfactory
and demand that fixed value be
placed upon his clean riceS.
4th-T That committee should
be appointed to get legal advice to
determine the rights, privileges
and the equities which the pro-
ducerS may have under the con-
tracts now existing between the
association, millerS and the pro-
ducerS and that a report from
such committee be made at the
next meeting.
5th-That other communities
in the rice growing section should
be urged to cooperative action
along the lines suggested at this
meeting.
The meeting adjourned to meet
Monday evening, at 1880 o'clock
March, 18th, at the Auditorium in
Welsh. AT this meeting Mr.. A.
H. Quatman of California, has
promised to be present and repre-
Sentatives from Lake Charles will

several meetings to be held. Every
person who has the good of rice
industry al heart is urged to be

HERE MARCH 10TH.

The members of the local w. c.
IT. U. met Wednesday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. J. B. Lee in

engagements for The Mary Harris
Armor lecture at the Auditorium

Mrs. A, R. Mckinney, president
of the State w. c. T. U. has the
following to say of Mrs. Armor;
Mrs. Armor is so constantly in
demand as a speaker, she has been
almost compelled TO abuse her
voice, and now must confine her
speaking to one public address in
ia hours. While she is a great wo-
man, she is a strong advocate of
the Simple life', and very social
in her nature, making friends
readily with all classes, No one
need hesitate to have her as a
guest, for she does not like to be
made company of, or fused"
over.
During her recent trip to Eu-
rope in the interest of World Pro-
Inhibition, she was introduced as
"MatchleSs Mary from America,
the title suits her, for she is but
one Mary Harris Armor, and | do
hope you can get large audience
to hear her, should hate for
Louisiana TO fall behind and the
rest of ne world is doing honor
to one who is SO widely known
and appreciated.
"She will speak on reconStruc-
|tion problems from a Christians
view point, and Pm sure what
she has to say will be we'll worth
hearing"
There will be no admission to
the lecture, the ladies announce,
but a free will offering.
AT The meeting Wednesday
Mrs. Lee was selected to represent
the Welsh body at the State Con-
vention to be held in Alexandria,
