PROSPEROUS SHRIMP SEASON
=. DRAWING TO A CLOSE

The close season for shrimp In In
side waters In Louisiana began Decem.
ber l and will extend to February Is,
1892. During this short period the
taking Of shrimp from the inside
waters Of the State for any purpose
whatsoever is absolutely prohibited by
law. This does not prevent the lovers
Of this crustacean delicaoy from eating
their favorite shell fish, however, for
shrimp taken from outside waters may
be marketed In their fresh state only.
For canning and drying purposes, how
ever, the taking Of shrimp In outside
waters under the jurisdiction Of the
state must cease January /, 1922, and
may not be resumed until February 10,
1922. During this period drying plat
forms and canneries must cease opera
tions altogether.
| The Louisiana Department OF Con-
;servation has sent out letters to Ito
agents and to the Gamers and dryers
Of the State, calling their attention to
the terms Of the law, and insisting that
every agent In the State and the IN
spectors of the department shall use
every effort to see to the enforcement
of the law, and calling On Gamers and
dryers to cooperate In this enforce
ment. The season has been prosper
GUS one for shrimp taking, and the Of
feet OF the conservation laws and reg
u1ations in keeping UP the supply OF
this priced food is expected to inf1sa.

sisting in the enforcement Of the law

BIC CATCH or FUR :
ANIMALS PRoMisAD

The trade In Louisiana furs this sea-
son promises to be prosperous. Only
sharp break In the market will keep
ths product down to point anywhere
near that of last season, Unfortu-
nately, there has always been sharp
decline, and the market is yet unset
tied, with downward tendency. And
yet the prices are much higher than
last year, and there are more trappsrs
In the field, 30 that fur dealers pre-
dict that the catch will equal or exceed
the great catch Of 1919. A,sharp break
In the market wssk or two ago, when
prices declined 25 per cent caught
trappers, but ,aost Of the dealers, whs
had anticipated something OF the sort,
got from under in time. The manu-
6acturers Of New York can make into
garments for the winter furs received
up to December 10, and New Orleans
dealer estimating their holdings at Is
to market before that time, and so dis
posed OF their holdings at remunerar
tive prices.
Trappers. however, believed. prices
would still climb and most Of them
held their catch, one New Orleans
dealer estimatini their holdings at rs
per cent OF the seasons catch. The de-
| cline came with this stock still in their
hands, and they were compelled there
fore to make the loss. After this sharp
decline there was still g. disposition to
| cut prices, it being said that New York
manufacturers, Rsao make Is per cent
| OF the fur garments Of the country, had
| met and declined to further pay the
| high price prevailing. Since the mar
ket has been unsettled, with a some
what downward tendency, but prices
are still much higher than last year,
and trappers in the field are active
and making fine catches. The princi-
pal marketable furs of Louisiana are
| coon, muskrat and mink, all popular
furs, and New Orleans Is the principal
coon fur center of the country. 1t ID
notable fact that Louisiana and Ar.
kansas contribute fully half Of the coon
skins OF the country. and these pelta
are much sought after by the manu-
| facturers.
| Louisiana trappers are acqnaintina
themselves with the provisions of the
amendment to the fur law which per
mits them to ship their individual
catch out OF the State upon paying In
| advance the severance tax of 2 pei
cent to the Conservation Department
The value Of skins naturally varies
prime skins being worth several times
those of No. grade, but from time
to time the Conservation Department
will fix the prices per fur on the basis
Of a fair average, so that trappers
May know exactly what amount of tai
to pay on each Of their shipments
Trappers are applying regularly fol
| tags for shipments, and 1t is evident
| that much of the catch is being dis
| posed Of outside the State, mainly II
st. Louis, bat New Orleans dealers SAY
they have felt no effects Of the out
side shipm ents thus far, perhaps be
cause the catch has been unusuall,
heavy. II the new law has affected
local receipts at all, say the loca

THE RIGHT THING

THE RIGHT TIME

By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
WHEN A MAN WALKS.

He possessed peculiar talent of pro
ducing effect in whatever he said or did
-TaC3tus.
T~I1E well-bred man remembers
l. when walking with woman ana
tte sidewalk is narrow that it other
pedestrians approach them, he should
step behind his companion while they
are passing.
But if escorting woman in WOODS
or through an overhung country ne
goes ahead of his companion in order
TO clear the path for her.
When walking with woman a man
invariably asks whether he may re-
lIeye her of any parcels she may be
carrying, but If she declines his offer
he should not be insistent. man
may have to possess good deal of
discrimination these days to differ
entiate between some Of the enlarged
handbags that women carry and
small bit Of luggage. However, he
should always ask TO carry the latter
while he would, of course, not ask to
carry her handbag.
4 man never takes woman's arm
when walking in the street save when
she Is too old or feeble to walk nm
aided or when the way is so slippery
as TO be hazardous. 1t Is regarded as
decidedly provincial or "second rate
10 do this.
When walking with a woman a man
never stops to speak to an acquatnf-
ance whom he chances to meet unless
the woman takes the lead i'll so doing.
IT man happens TO, meet woman
acquaintance, even though he is well
acquainted with her, he would not
think of stopping to talk with her IN
the street, but if there was something
which they wished to discuss he might
ask whether he might walk with her
for, little way He would show the
same consideration to his mother or
sister In this regard.
re man overtakes a woiaian gong
In the same direction that he Is ne
vorlff never think of accompanying
her without asking permission ana
unlass he knew her we'll enough TO ne
unite sure that she would not have
the slightest objection he would not
ask for this.
A man does not invariably take the
curh side of the sidewalk when ac-
companylng a woman. He does If the
road is muddy and therefore that side
is less desirable. In city streets ne
usually takes the side that makes 1t
nossihle fer him to- meet pedestrian
+. traffic coming In the other way. That
Is. he would walk at her left where
traffic keeps to the right as 1t does IN
American cities.

New Years 4
Ghost PARTY

apf6 - HERE Is a pleasant Old SUI
aEsMGsIR perstition that jollity in a
.9SMGa house during the first week
HY]NHHSSa Of the New Year brings
& tsAAAN pleasure and happiness to
that household during the
entire year. There are many interest
ing ways Of entertaining a New Years
party, but the favorite Of ali Is the
masked dance Oh party, and the most
interesting way OF having this sort of
entertainment is to give a ghost party.
The Invitations read In this manner j.:
Our good old Father Time
Has promised to convene

chat with her guests over the tele-
phone. She requests them to come
dressed TO represent some famous per.
son now dead, pantomime, words, ges-
lures and costume being used TO carry
cut the impersonation.
Dressed in q misty black robe COW
cred with stars cut from gold paper,
the hostess will receive her guests In
a room draped all in white. Sheets or
cheesecloth can be used for this. No
word is spoken until a little red imp
distributes cards and pencils to the
assembled guests. Then each in turn
speaks some word or does some stunt
Il ~ suic his or her character. The
person guessing the greatest number
correctly receives pretty copy Of the

tempting enough to attract even the

aaYors for the guests or cards upon
which some funny rhyme is written

entertainment for the evening may

LAWRENCE CASE
GOES TO JURY
Plaintiff Is Awarded 100000
Against Chicago American; Ar
ticles in Paper Grounds

The jury in the $125,000 libel suit
of Edward J. Lawrence against the
Chicago American retired at 10 Thurs
day morning following instructions by
Judge e. Ray Stevens in Madison
The action is the outgrowth Of articles
published by the American in connec,
ton with the death of Richard Scott
Lawrence, South Madison, who was
killed by a Northwestern road train at
the foot of South Broom street, March
q, 1918.
Judge Stevens declared that under
the proof submitted by Jackman, Will
kie and Toebaas, attorneys for Ed.
ward J. Lawrence the plaintiff is en-
titled to damages and that the jury
must determine the amount of com
pensatory damages and also of puni-
tory damages il it finds that the
American wilfully and maliciously pub
lished the articles.
II. NJ. Wilkie argued to the jury that
the articles were so framed as to con
vince the public that Edward J. Law
renee murdered and robbed his uncle.
Mr. Lawrence was awarded $780,
600.
