STUNT FLYING
THRILLS NATIVES
AVIAToRs STAGE SOME TALL
GYMNASTICS IN cIRcUMAM-
BENT BLUE SATURDAY

Airplane are not novelty in Ope'
lousas by any means, for during the
war they came here singIy and by
flocks almost every day. The then
visitors-that is, their drivers-puil-
ed off number of thrilling stunts for
the edification Of the = hn~-' p"
lockers below. All Of this was 80
long ago that most people had for
gotten it and the visit, last week. Of
another machine with two daring
aviators in charge was quite pleas
ing break in the monotony Of eve. y
day existence.
The machine belongs to a shreve-
port concern and it came here from
Plaquemine, La, arriving Friday and
lighting on the old fell west of the
city limits. Handbills announcing
the program Saturday afternoon were
printed and scattered from the air as
the machine sped through the sky.
That excited the populace and many
came to the city Saturday afternoon
to witness the cavorts of the heavier
than-air outfit that would sail at
speed faster than an express train,
Saturday afternoon, true to promise,
the two aviators assembled, one hand
ling the mechanism, the other show
ing his gymnastics standing, first,
waving his arms; later hanging by
on top without any hand hold and
hands, feet and teeth to the under
.tructure. 1t looked perilous and dan
gerous but no accident happened.
Quite a number of local people took
advantage of the opportunity to ride
aloft at ten dollars per ride, sailing
at many hundreds feet over OpeIousas
and surrounding territory. They one
and all expressed much delight over
their novel experience. The airplane
and two aviators departed Monday
morning for Shreveport.

PREDICTS REVIVAL IN
AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS

Mr.. T. V. Childers of the Gulf Odds
mobile company Of New Orleans,
state distributors for he wen-lnown
Oldsmobile line. was visitor this
week to our city.
Mr.. Childers stated that whereas
the automobile business is known to
have been very quiet for the last
sixty days, that conditions through
cut the territory in which he has
been travelling namely: Southern
Louisiana and Southern Mississippi
are very much improved and indica-
tions are that the automobile bust
ness will soon again be in full swing
and that some authorities have
even predicted shortage before mid
summer, owing to the curtailment Of
production at the various factories.
In speaking specifically of the Odds
mobile line, Mr.. Childers pointed out
the fact that the Odds motor works is
in especially healthy condition at
present, being one Of the very few
manufacturers who showed an en-
tirely new model at the New Orleans
show, as well as the national shows
at New York and Chicago. This indi-
Gates, said Mr.. Childers, that the
oldsmobile factory has no stock OF
old models on hand, but through con-
sistent demand has been able to sell
all 1920 models and therefore, intro
duce the new 1921 models at the very
beginning Of the season.
The new four-cylinder Odds, by this
way, was one of the big hits at tn,
New Orleans show, and created mucl
favorable comment among prospec
tive purchasers and among the man,
dealers who visited this show from
all parts Of Louisiana and Mississippi

HOUSING SITUATION
WILL BE TAX ZEN UP

Washington-Estimates placing the
shortage of houses in America at
more than 100000 will be placed
before the national council of the
chamber of commerce OF the United
States at a meeting to be held in
Washington January q and rs.
which will discuss measures to re-
lieve the situation.
"For a number Of years prior to
the world war" said John Ihlder,
manager of the national chambers
civic development department, st is
conservatiyely estimated that there
were erected in the United States
between $4,000 and 100000 family
dwellings year. This includes homes
and apartments. During the war con-
struction Of houses was practically
at a standstill with the exception Of
what building was done by the gov
eminent. AS a result of this we came
out Of the war far behind our regular
building program. In 1919 it is esti-

The deceased was esteemed by all
who knew him. His neighbors look

Homestead Exemption

To the Editor:
feel that this is an opportune mo-
ment to help the farmers. We can
not better do this than to insert into
the constitution about to be written,
( the present homestead exemptions. In
I crease the amount to three thousand
! dollars, when you may have the farm
( er remain on the farm and not have
I his sons flee therefrom. The in
crease is justifiable. Now that lands
/ are selling from fifty dollars an acre,
/ and upwards, the farmer must not on
/ ly own his land, but he must also
have his pair Of horses, his two cows
and calves, his wagon, his hogs and
corn. hay, fodder and potatoes for the
/ current year.
l want this homestead exemption
inserted in the organic law whereby
! to protect the farmers in the event
the legislature should decline to do so.
And l desire him protected. pending
the repeal Of the present constitution
and the action of the legislature. To
this end, am going to introduce this
exemption.
1t is short, less than two (2) pages.
It is legislation in the right direction,
and am going to bend every energy
possess whereby to secure its adop-
ton.
The way to help the farmer is to Sc
cure him his home And the safest
way is to place this provision in the
! constitution beyond the reach of the
creditor class who will seize the last
ear of corn he possesses if permitted
so to do.
I'll fares the land, to fastening ills
a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men
decay.
Princes and lords may flourish or may
fade
A breath can make them, as a breath
has made;
But bold peasantry, their country's
pride,
When once destroy'd, can never be
supplied"
/ Yours truly,
