STATE FIRE BOYS
MEET in CROWLEY
ASSOCIATION WILL CONVENE IN
RICE CITY SOME TIME DURING
MONTH OF JUNE

The neighboring city of Crowley is
preparing to entertain the members
and delegates to the annual meeting
of the Louisiana Fire association,
which body will convene in that city
some time next month.
The meeting promises to be one OF
the most interesting ever held by this
well known body and number of
Opelousas members are making prep
arations to attend. The firemen al
ways hare some warm contests, over
non and matters affecting future gov
ernr.ent of their association, but
these contests are friendly ones
though highly spirited in every sense
of the word.
The convention was entertained by
Opelousas several years ago, and the
visitors were highly delighted at the
cordial treatment accorded them in
this city. One old stager at the game
said to a newspaper man recently
that the association would rather meet
in Opelousas or Plaquemine than in
any other city in Louisiana-they al
ways had such fine times when they
went to either place. Those mem
bers who are generally well inform
ed were unable to say whether the
delegates from Opelousas to the 1927
convention would invite the fassocia-
ton to meet here in 1922. That mat
ter is yet unconsidered and Opelousas
may forego its opportunity to get the
1922 convention and hold off until an
other year before asking the fireboys
to come here again for their annual
love feast and get-together.

TO PULL STATE OUT OF MUD

We believe the Sanders "pay-as-
you-go" plan, evolved by the fer
lille as we'll as practicable imagination
Of the former governor, will place
Louisiana in the front ranks OF states
having modern highways.
It costs money to build good roads,
and lots of it, but the people OF TINS
state long ago resolved to have such
roads no matter what the final cost.
As a result Of this resolve hundreds OF
miles OF modern hard-surfaced high
rays have been constructed and the
work as planned is jIst begun
Mr.. Sanders plan proposes to bulln
these roads for the minimum cost Oy
-uaying as you go"-certainly the
cheapest system when all is SAID ana
ahe people OF the state should express
sheir satisfaction to Mr.. Sanders for
his good work along that line.
It will not be necessary to vote any
more special taxes to contruct roads,
IL the Sanders plan will do all that
fs exuected of it, for the tax collected
from automobiles, trucks and the sale
nf gasoline each year will total up
healthy sum-sufficient to build many
miles of real highways. Then the
state highway department can handle
she work in a thoroughly scientific
manner and build roads where most
needed first, completing in due time
n system of highways that will con-
uect up every section Of the state
The roads could be built according TO
some we'll devised standard thus
avoiding the old evil Of one parish
using gravel, another using Shells
Sthers using something else for sur
facing. This slipshod system has
worked badly for there has been no.
ching like uniformity in methods OF
dirt work and surfacing.

RICE MARKET HAS
MUCH BETTER TONE
PRODUCERS SEE SOME HoPEoFoR
CEREAL GETTING BACK ON
NORMAL BASIS AGAIN

After months Of stagnation the rice
market appears to be getting back
to normal again. Buyers and gradt
ers have been kept busy for some
time throughout the rise growing area
of the state making trades with far
mers for their holdings. Prices seem
to be getting a little stronger every
week and several local producers at
last sold their crop for around three
dollars per barrel while others re-
ceived slightly les than this max
imum sum. There las been strong
movement of the crop to market re-
Gently and large shipments have been
made from almost every locality IN
the rice district.
The price received will not pay ths
cost of production but some encourage
ment to the producers in that they
see their way clear to liqu1datlog Oh
a part Of the indebtedness incurred in
the production of the crop. Consider
able loss in weight and quality was
sustained by long storage. One plant
err had several varieties stored IN
single building. Rats in large num-
beers got in their destructive work
with a result that many sacks were
so badly cut that the different variet-
les of rice became badly mixed. This
penalized the farmer for he was fore
cd to sell at the lowest price, besides
the extra cost of sacking the grain
again.

INCREASE IN PASSENGER FARES
Kansas Rate Will Be 3.6 Cents Pc
Mile Wednesday Midnight

An increase Of 20 per cent In pass
enger fares will become effective on
all lines in Kansas Wednesday mid
night, according to an announcement
by ]. NJ. Connell, general passenger
agent of the Santa Fe.
Kansas is the last state in the
union in which railroad rates are in
creased. Several state commissions
refused to sanction increases in state
rates corresponding to the interstate
advance which became effective Aug
tist 26, 1920. In all cases the car
riers appealed to the Interstate Com
merce Commission which, after con-
ducting hearings, set aside the state
orders on the ground Of disO~imina-
ton against interstate commerce.
The Kansas passenger rate has
been 3 cents mile. Now 1t will be
3.6 cents a mile, corresponding to
the interstate rate. With the 8 per
cent war tax the new cost Of travel
ing between Kansas points will be
3.SS8 cents a mile. The carriers are
now working out the tariffs prepar-
atory to putting into effect schedule
of state freight rates corresponding
to interstate rates including the last
35 per cent advance.
