VARIOUS PRICES FOR SEED

Several farmers in Opelousas Sat
urday spoke of the price they had
received for cotton seed at gins. One
farmer exhibited his gin slip for a
bale ginned that morning showing the
ginner had paid him at the rate Of
seventeen dollars per ton. Another
spoke up and said that his ginner had
paid twenty dollars for seed. The
indications point to still higher
prices for seed as the certainty OF

who dispose of their seed sell to the
ginner at the time Of ginning, the lat
ter paying them the difference over
the cost of ginning, bagging and ties
The ginner in turn sells the seed to
an oil mill and get a commission for
the buying of such seed.

MARSE HENRY FORD
TAKES ANOTHER SHOT
AT OLD HIGH PRICES
Announces Another Reduction in
Price of all Models of His
Famous Tin Lizzies

Marse Henry Ford has dun tuck
and dun it agin!"
Last week he announced another
reduction in the selling prices of auto
mobiles built by his factory, making
the third reduction in the past several
months. BY doing so he has upset all
calculations of other factories and
some of them will have to stir around
and make another trial at keeping
up with the pace set by the Ford fac
tory, which is experiencing no throu-
BILE in marketing its entire output
and the factory is running full time
and at full capacity, ginning out fliv
vers at the rate Of about five thou
sand per day.
Some time ago it was reported Ford
was busted and that the spectators
lizzies and
would gobbIe him up, factory tin liz
zies and all. Marse Henry fooled the
bunch-paid his obligations in full be-
fore they were due and got things
moving aagin by reducing prices of
his cars and maintaining the same
high standard Of wages. Then he
embarked in the railroad business,
buying the bankrupt Detroit, Toledo
and Ironton line, placing it on eff
cient basis at once, lowering freight
rates, paying high wages to employees
of the line and showed net profit
on the undertaking wonderful feat
in financering. A report last week
showed the total assets of the Ford
company to be about one quarter bill
lion dollars.
New prices of Ford cars, effective
September 2, is given as follows:
Touring car, without starter and de-
mountable rims, 1855; with self start
er and without demountable rims,
$425; with demountable rims and
starter $3.50; runabout, without
starter and rims 1925; with self

GASOLINE FILLING STATION
NOW READY FOR BUSINESS

The modern gasoline filling station
erected for George Jordan at Main
and Bellevue streets is about com
pleted and has been serving the mot
orists for several days. There is yet
some fancy trimmings to be added
to the structure before it can be said
to be- finished, but there is nothing
in the way of giving splendid service
at all times. In connection with the
sales department there has been es-
tablished an information bureau
where motorists passing through can
secure information of roads and
routes through this section and the
proprietors of the station will be
pleased to give their patrons this
service on request.

It has rot been decided what Off
cial designation would be given the
new highway but several names have
been suggested. There was dispo-
sition on the part of some to call it
the Baton Rouge and OpeIousas
Highway" while others said that the
words, "East and West" be added to
that designation. However, another
element suggested that local names
be dropped and some general
and more appropriate name be-
adopted. 1t was therefore suggested
that "The Ozone Highway" would be
appropriate, while another source
suggested the name Zachary Taylor
Highway" in honor of the only pres
ident Louisiana ever furnished the
union. Old Zack Taylor lived at Bat
on Rouge and all over this section
are people who were named for him.
The suggestion was well received by
many and this name may yet be
adopted.
Resolutions as drafted by the COM
mittee and reported to the full meet
ing were as follows:
Resolved, that it is the sense Of
this meeting that a route for an east
and-west state highway from the Sa-
bine river on the Texas line to the
Mississippi line on the east, and be-
ginning west of DeQuincy and run
ming in an easterly direction through
Reeves, Kinderfi Elton, Basile, Eu-
nice, Opelousas, Port Barre, Krotz
Springs, Lottie, Port Alien, Baton
Rouge, Hammond, then to Bogalusa
and all intermediate points, be re-
commended to the legislature for
adoption. Be it further.
Resolved, that copies of this resc-
luton be forwarded the governor,
speaker of the house of representa-
stiyes and the president of the senate.
"Be it resolved, that it is also the
sense of this meeting that the state
higways as numbered on the map
hereto annexed and presented to this
assembly be approved, and that same
be recommended to the general as
sembly as the general highways to
be constructed by the highway com
mission"
Following the discussion and adop-
tion of the foregoing resolutions, ad-
iournment was taken, with the under
standing that the organization was to
remain intact and subject to the call
Of the chairman, Col. Prescott. The
secretary of the Baton Rouge cham
ber of commerce invited the mem
bers of the committee or any mem
ber of the association to make their
headquarters in the office of that
body when in Baton Rouge on busi-
ness relating to the proposed high
way.

CONTRACTORS TO
BUILD SECTION OF
PERSHING HIGHWAY
Wimberly & Mcbride Sub
let Two-Thirds of the 23-
Mile Stretch
WORK DUE TO BEGIN
WITHIN THIRTY DAYS
Mississippi Bidder Disqual-
flied Because of Ma
ture of Bid

That section of the Pershing high
way, from the Bayou Courtableau at
Washington north to the Avoyelles
parish line, distance of slightly ov-
er twenty-three miles, viii be under
construction within thirty days Or
less.
The bidding for this work was ratil-
er active when the contract was let
out recently by the state board Of
engineers, highway department, and
the lowest bid being that submitted
by a contractor from Mississippi. The
work was given him pending closer
Investigation of the terms of his bid.
Such investigation disclose that there
were too many strings" tied to it
and hence it was rejected. The next
lowest bidders was the firm of VIM
berly & Mcbride of Church Point,
La, represented by Civil Engineer
Frank S. Roberts of Crowley, form
er Opelousean. The work, therefore,
went to them, since which time they
have sub-let two-thirds of the contract
to r. M. Hollier of Opelousas and an
other contractor whose name we fail
ed to learn.
The Church Point people will build
the first third of the road, starting
at Washington, while Hollier will
have the middle third and the other
contractor will attend to the north
third of the stretch. Work is to be-
gin as soon as possible and practica-
BILE, according to information we have
obtained.
This is the first link Of the great
international highway to be let out
in st. Landry parish and construction
on it will be watched with interest.
It's completion will connect Opelousas
with the entire Bayou Boeuf section
north of this city, as well as with
Bunkie, Cheneyville, Lecompte and
Alexandria by a first-class hard-sur-
faced highway. 1t means more to
Opelousas and it's business institu-
tions than can well be described.
People in this parish, along the line
of this highway, will be permitted to
reach this city without paying the
high cost of railroad travel. The old
road was in such a bad shape that
during the weather travel was prac.
tically impossible, and therefore
people living in that territory could
not get here by any other means ex-
cept by rail.
Owing to the fact that the new
highway practically parallels the
sbutharn Pdcific tracks the ertire
distance the matter of hauling gray
ell for building the road will not be
such long haul after all. There are
convenient switch tracks all along the
main track of the Southern Pacific
and the gravel haulers will not have
to go very far before they can secure
a load of the surfacing material and
get it on the highway in the quickest
possible time.
The road viii connect opelousas
with the Jefferson highway at Blu J.
kie. 1t was originally planned as the
Evangeline highway and its entire
length was from Bunkie on the north
to Lafayette on the south, connecting
at the last named place with the
Spanish trail. Then came the Per
shing highway association and pro-

posed to absorb the Evangeline and
make it link of north-and-south
highway from Canada to New Or
leans. The proposition was accepted
and instead of being an important
connecting link between two main
highways, it win be main highway
itself, with the old advantage retain
ed of connecting with the Spanish
trail and the Jefferson, as originally
outlined.
