SOME IMPROVEMENT
LAST THIRTY YEARS
Article in Welsh Crescent Recites
Conditions in 1892.

The Welsh Crescent, issued January
IA, 1892 at Welsh, La, edited by Col.
Dick Harrison, has the following ob
servation on the Louisiana school sys.
tenn; Louisiana has a right to boast
of her fine school system AS in evi-
dence, Welsh gets the enormous sum
of two hundred dollars for school pur-
poses, which amount will run a good
school long term Of two months"
In further article Col. Harrison
said: welsh has just built a $4,000
schoolhouSe and seated same with the
late improved school desks, and has
about eighty pupils to attend school,
and the paltry sum of 5000 appropriat-
ed for school. This amount won't JUS
tify teacher to even begin, as prin-
cipal would necessarily have to EN-,
ploy an assistant. The principal would
want at least, $40 a month and the as.
sistant $50. Then this amount appor'
toned to Welsh would give us school
two months in the year. These are
cold facts that stare you In the face
and yet some crank will say that
Louisiana has plenty Of money for
schools. Lake Charles American

Granting the correctness of Col
Harrison's report, there has been a
marked improvement in the states
school system during period since his
day. and a relatively greater improve

MUCH RICE MOVED
DURING PAST WEEK
Old Crop Will Be Cleaned Up II
Holders Turn Loose At Present
Prices.

A total of $4,000 bags of rice have
been sold locally during the past week
at prices ranging from $2.65 to $S.1O1a.
OF the above amount $4,000 bags
were sold Tuesday on sealed bids by
c. E. Meyer for the Old Calcasieu Rice
Growers Association members, while
R. L. Abbott, operating as "a private
brokerage, reports sales amounting to
10000 bags during the past week.
There appears to be a steady de
mand for riCes at the above figures,
and a probability that the remainder
of the 1920 crop will be cleaned up
providing farmers are willing to turr
loose at the figures offered.
Mr.. Abbott states that he has ar
offer of $S.16 on an extra fine lot of
Blue Rose, but the sale is unconfrmed
as yet,
Buyers included Rickert Mill, New
Orleans; Hashel G. Davis, New Or

FARMERS GIVE EARNEST
SUPPORT To ASSOCIATION
Welsh Comes to Front With Large
Percentage of Membership.

Support has flocked to the American
Rice Growers Association during the
past, week in such numbers as to prac.
tically assure the success of the move.
ment, but owing to close proximity of
the date of final organization (Aug.
9th.) there is need for some hearty co
operation among the rice growers.
There are some holding out yet who
should by all means become members
of the association and it is up to the
members who have already signed up
to get them in.
The organization is strictly cooper.
ative, even to the effort of getting or,
ganized.
Reports from the Lake Charles office
carry encouraging announcements
from all sections of the rice country.
More than ninety per cent of the
planters in the Welsh district have
signed contracts and the members
here are entering very actively into
the work.
The appeal of the Mutual Warehouse
Co., in a page advertisement carried
in the last issue of the Journal struck
the officers of the association as SO
forceful that they have mailed copies
of the adv. to every rice grower in
the United States.
At Crowley the membership is said
to exceed that of the old Southern
Rice Growers at any time during it's
existence. Rayne also is reported tC
have large membership. New iberia
is another point that is reported as
falling into line rapidly, Abbeville, in
Acadia parish, reports very nearly 100
per cent, as does Gueydan.
Mr.. Winkler, who has recently re-
turned from trip through east Texas
stated that with the exception of the
Beaumont territory practically the
majority of the rice section of that
state is organized.
The results that have been attained
in Crowley during the past ten days
are pointed out as proof that farmers
are responsive to the new association
when once they understand that Its
plan of organization and operation is
entirely different from the old asso
citation; that it is in reality co-opera
tive and democratic and that it pro
poses to operate on a business-like
and safe financial basis.
With success practically assured
the desire now should be to make 1t as
near 100 per cent as possible and tc
that end the most whole hearted co
operation of those already in is neces
sary.

NEWSPAPER HEADING
IS VERY MISLEADING
Fordney Tariff Rate on Rice Unehang'
ed. Only Soup Rice on Free List.

A heading in the Beaumont Enter.
prise of July 21st., "Rice Railroade dto
Free List despite contest of Louisiana
Texas Solons" threw a sad scare into
the hearts of early persusers.
Examination of the article following
this shocking heading disclosed that
the application was to soup rice only
and did not affect che Fordney act
which provides for cent duty on
the better grades Of rice.
The amendment was offered for the
ways and means committee by Re.
preventative Baeharach of New Jersey
member of the committee. Under the
rules only amendments offered by the
committee are permissible. Bachar'
ach contended that Patna rice, used In
canning, does not come into competl'
tion with American rice which, he
claimed, cannot be used because it
congeals when boiled, whereas the In
dian variety holds firm in grains. A
protective tariff is really not needed
by American rice industry. Bacharach
asserted, because in addition to sup
plying all American consumption the
United States exported 1S0,OO0,OOO
pounds last year.
The democrats from Texas, Louis
lana and California rice growing dis
tricts Immediately attacked the Bach
arach amendment. Realizing that op'
position by democratic speakers would
be of but little effect, they succeeded
in getting Representative Curry OF
California, republican, to take the
floor against the amend0 ent. The op'
position was unsuccessful, however,
and the amendment carried by big
vote.
Representative of a soup company
appearing before the ways and means
committee two months, ago, urged a
free list of rice that goes into canned
goods and asserted their company
used about 250,000 pounds annually.
The remainder Of rice schedule in
the Fordney bill remains unchanged as
follows: paddy rice, one and Id cents
pound; milled rice (branded removed)
2 cents pound; broken rice and rice
meal, flour, polish and bran one half
tof l cent pound.
While the matter of 250,000 pounds
of rice seems too small a matter to
bubble over it is not easy to conceive
why the soup makers of New Jersey
are entitled to special favors.

WON'T THEY SHOW US
WHEREIN they're FAIR

The scheduled game of ball between
Lake Charles Athletics and Welsh al
Lake Charles last Friday did not come
off, even though both teams had warm
ed up and the great numbers of ex
pectant spectators we're seated in the
grand stand in anticipation of grand
and glorius game.
The dispute arose over the request
of the Welsh team to be allowed to
furnish base umpire to assist umpire
Johnson. The request was flatly re-
fused by the Lake Charles manager
and the Welsh team was told that If
they did not wish to submit to John
sonism exclusively they might pack ur
and file out Broad street. They did, and
since then Welsh fans have not had
the same kindly feeling for Lake
Charles as sporting center. They had
a sinking idea before, but now they
are certain.
An item in the Lake Charles Amer
ican Press the following day placed
ali the blame on Welsh and left the
reputation of the Lake Charles man
ager as spotless as a clean laundered
baby's napkin. The excuse was that
Johnson was refused permission to
umpire the game on the Welsh dia.
mond the day before, which Welsh
won 5 to S. Nothing was said about
Johnson having showed up on the dla.
mond in a Lake Charles uniform. He
| was not refused the right to umpire
the game, but was required to get out
of the Lake Charles uniform. Johnson
had left his suit case home and could
Int in modesty comply.
The American-Pres refused to prin'
la letter from F. G.. Seward, secretary
Iof the Welsh base ball club, setting
forth our side of the controversy, be
cause they claimed it contained a
llibelous charge. Those who are fami
liar with the circumstances say ther,
is no chance, no possibility, no hop'
of any member of the Lake Charles
Athletic association trying to substaD
tiate libel charge. There is no doub
about the motive of the Welsh team il
requesting to be allowed base un
pire and what we would like to hea
from the manager of the Lake Charlie
team is IL the request was out of tn
ordinary. What his real reasons wer
for not allowing the request, and ais
from the business men of Lake Charlie
who back the team, whether the goo
will of the Welsh fans is worth any
Thing to them or not.
II we have our own private ideas a
to the real reasons for the Lake Char
es team existing and we would like t
know IL our guess Is correct
