The Importance and absolute
necessity for the ginners of LOU
isiana to maintain an organiza-
ton for their own protection and
preservation was stressed by all
the speakers at the annual con-
vention of the Louisiana Cotton
Ginners' Association, which was
opened at the city hall audito-
rum shortly before noon to-day.
The speakers also deprecated the
fact that the convention is not
attended by as large a number
of the members of the organiza-
ton as had been expected. Rep
resentatives of oil mills and of
different concerns who were
scheduled to make addresses
were not present, and this was a
source of disappointment to those
who are anxious to make the or
ganization a success.
The following are the officers
of the association: Wyatt Var
brough, of Powhatton, president;
J. H. Corbett, of Colfax, secre-
tary-treasurer; J. w. Duncan, of

In calling the convention to or

clared that it is absolutely essen
tial to hold the organization to-
gether in an effort to keep GIN

said that Oklahoma has fixed the
price of ginning and that it may
be necessary for Louisiana to ask
the Legislature to fix the GIN

The Roach block on Main street

Monday forenoon, but quick and

Assistant Chief John McGill, pre-
vented serious confagration. The
loss was confined entirely to the
block and will not exceed $1,000.
The property was covered by in

the basement used by the tenants
for a woodshed and the cause is
not known.
The fire was discovered by Mrs
George Langlois, who informed
Mrs. Roach of the smoke that was
filling the hallway. The latter hur-
ried to Gleason's store and told
Harold Trpp of the discovery.
He Immediately hurried into the
basement where he found one of
the individual sheds ablaze. He
poured on a bucket of water, which
was handy, on the fire but this
proved insufficient. A telephone

Newport Beats New
Hampshire Champs

The Newport baseball team,
captained by Mel. Merritt. easily
defeated Monday the Concord
Sterlings, the fastest team in New
Hampshire, by the score Of 10 to
6. Joel Shelton was on the mound
for the first seven innings, and was
practically invincible. In the
eighth he gave way to big jeff
Tesreau, who had been advertised
to twirl. A crowd Of over 1000
people were thus given an oppor-
tunity to see the big fellow in ac-
ton. Jeff played right field until
he went to the box, Nels Browne
appearing at center, with Mel Mer-
ritt in left. field.
Benny Tryon was sent to right
field after Tesreau took Skelton's 5
place in the box. The Border City
club did not have to exert itself to
any great extent to get awy on the
lone end of the score.
Although the Newport boys hit
the ball hard, yet the Concord
Sterlings handed them couple
runs in the second stanza by some
erratic playing.
