"Los Angeles is literally booming,

construction work going up on all

of the pneumatic riveters high in air
as big hotels and business blocks are
going up.
"You can hardly get into a picture

people patiently waiting for whole
hour until someone gets out and gives
them a chance to go in. Two million

the figures from the Mississippi town.

ANTI-pIPPINe FACTION
LOSES FIGHT IN HOUSE

Repeal of the states cattle dipping
law came near being an actuallty
when the repeal bill came up for final
passage last week, the vote being ex-
tremely close. Considerable OF a fight
to knock the law out was made by the
advocates of the bill and the narrow
ness of the vote indicates that they
did considerable PROSECUTING for votes.
However, following the defeat OF the
measure, it is expected, that dipping
will be resumed in 1922 more Vigor-
ously than ever in order to complete
the work and secure the release OF
every parish in the state from the fed
eral quarantine. ST. Landry is still in
the banned territory and owing to the
fact that there was no dipping here
this year the entire work will have
to be done over again.

COMMITTEE REJECTS
ONE-MAN COMMISSION
BACKED BY SANDERS
Listens Respectfully to Former Gov
ernor and Votes FaVorably Tor
ScheIl Proposition

The highways committee of the
hause Of representatives gave re-
specially hearing to former Governor
Sanders when he urged the adoption
of his plan for the organization of
state highway commission with one
head, director general The ex-gov-
ernor spoke eloquently, stressing the
good features of a concentrated form
of management and showed how
much better it would be to place the
power and responsibility in the hands
of one man than to divide such re-
sponsibiIity and place it in the hands
Of a commission composed Of three
men.
The committee, however, saw the
matter in another light and voted
eight to three, with two members alb
sent. to recommend to the house OF
representatives the adoption OF a bill
carrying with it a provision estaD-
fishing a commission consisting OF
three men instead of one, as urged by
the former governor.
q The committees action is a SUB
stantial victory for the plan proposed
by Representative ]. Franklin Schell
of st. Landry and Senator T. L. Dow
ling. AS a result of the committees
action there is much iubilation in the
camp of the people favoring the
schen three-men commission, though
this enthusiasm may be little pre-
mature, for the bill has to go on
final passage in the house and then
run the gauntlet in the senate, and II
| is certain that the opponents OF the
scheI plan will not give up the fight
because Of an unfavorable committee
report on the one-man plan.

Hood bill, originally framed along the
lines OF the federal law, was revised

Farmers mere Saturday stated trat
they were well advanced in picking
their cotton and that within a very
short time there wouldn't be any left
in the fields to pick. The dry wealth

of September afforded them ample
time in which to save the short yield
in the briefest time possible, and as
labor was plentiful, as compared With
former years, they experienced no
trouble whatever in getting their cot
