Unemployment
In Kansas City
Grave Problem

Kansas City, Nov. 9.-The un-
| employment situation in Kansas
City is daily becoming more acute
This fact has been revealed
through a survey of welfare agen-
cies throughout the city, conduct
ed by several committees from the
chamber Of commerce.
Nearly 10000 men, so per cent
of whom are "floaters." are with
out employment in this city, the
survey showed. There has been a
large influx into the city OF men
from all sections of the country,
lured here by numerous false rum
ors circulated to the effect that
Kansas City has no unemployment
problem.
Relief organizations report they
are receiving hundreds of appeals
for aid, far in excess Of any made
previously, they say.
The Helping Hand Institutes
records show that 1913 men were
cared for during September this
year, compared to 800 during the
same period year ago.

nization come in larger numbers

A summary OF all OF the prunes
OF the new crop In the hands OF

association at the end of October
showed nearly six and quarter
million pounds had been received
up to that time. Large quantities

Deliveries are not entirely com
pleted and many members of the
association still have prunes to be
delivered.
Early estimates showed that the
association would handle S,0O0,-
600 pounds OF dried prunes this
season and 1t is expected that
later deliveries will bring the total
tonnage up to this figure. Last

in the building up of his business
to Journal advertising. Of the
four secondhand cars advertised
in these columns last week three
were sold promptly. One was sold
to a man from Crowley who saw
the adv. in the Journal and came

to settle the matter on the score
board, and then thanks is due to
pitcher Tabony of the Eunice ag-
gregation for a wild throw that
made possible WeISh's fourth
score.
Welsh was fortunate in getting
three runs in their half of the
first inning. That was all until
the last of the tenth. Eunice re-
peated the three run performance
in the fourth. The deciding score
came about in the following man.
ner: Arthur Romero went to first
for being hit by apitched ball;
Goldsmith sacrificed, letting him
down to No. 2 station; N. Romero
ditto and he advanced to third,
then Tabony threw the ball wild
and Romero slid in with the game.
The most remarkable feature of
the game was the pitching of
Frank Brown who famed nine

dealing and The very best price
that is obtainable.
He has leased the office of the

Fire shortly after noon last
Sunday destroyed the farm home

east of Welsh. A great part of the

for the family. Mr.. Peters COM
ing from the barn discovered
flame emerging from peak of the
roof on the north end of the main
entrance. By the time he could
place a ladder and get to the roof
the stiff breeze had famed the
flames to a fury. Realizing the
futility Of any effort to save the
building attention was turned to
carrying Out the furniture and
household effects, much of which
were saved.

the alarm was sounded, neighb0rS
and citizens responding to the
call. Mr.. and Mrs. Peters feel deep
ly grateful to those who helped in
reScuing their efforts from the

GAINS PROMINENCE IN
THE EGG MARKET
First Shipment by Circle Draws
Praise from Armour &
Company.

Letters received by Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. n. Stafford, parish demonStra-
ton agents, speak very highly of
he first shipment of eggs made by
the Welsh Egg Circle which was
formed here April End. Under
date of April 9th, Harley L. Will
llamS, leader in animal huSbandry
said: Il have just had a long dis
lance conversation with Mr.. Gran
dali of Armour & Company, New
Orleans, relative to shipment of
eggs made from Welsh last week.
MIR, Crandall tells me that he is
very, very much pleased with the
quality of these eggs, in fact he
states that these eggs were the
best quality and size which he
has ever received from Louisiana
while associated with Armour &
Company"
A. K. ArCeneauX, secretary and
treasurer of the local egg circle
also received letter from Mr..
Crandall, in which he says: "The
two cases of eggs shipped by you
during the past week were indeed
mighty nice stock. They came in
here with practically no loss, be-
ing packed nicely, there were only
a few cracked and a few heated
eggs. If the balance of our LOui-
Siana egg gatherers were to keep
their eggs up to the standard, as
you have started, we would be
able TO pay them better prices for
their eggs.
eff there is anything that we
can do to encourage you in this
work, do not hesitate to call on
us"
While the egg circle is young
and any prediction as to its final
magnitude is not timely, it is GER
tainIy a forward step in the poul-
try business of this section and
will open the eyes of the people
as regards the great possibilities
in that line. The first shipment
has brought praise and statewide
publicity for the egg producers
of Welsh.
The slogan of the poultry de-
partmcnt is "One hundred pure
bred hens on every farm"

the work of cleaning around their
places has been gone over but in
the homes as well and we wish to
thank those who have had this
