Business Outlook Bet
ter.

The upward trend in the prices OF
MANY raw commodities Is an encour-
aging sign of the return OF proSperl-
tv. The bottom has been reached and
the rebound is encouraging. Cotton
has increased $50 bale, fact that
puts life and ginger into the south
ern planters. In July, 1920, cotton
was selling at Al lie per pound and
in August of the present year had
fallen to lie per pound. 1t is now
selling at 20c per pound. In the north
wheat was selling on August lst at
S1.24 per bushel. At present it is
selling at $1.38. Hides sold at SIC
per pound at the pinnacle of high
prices They were far too high then,
but the drop to and 6 cents was
far below their values, and during
that period of depression a man
could not carry enough hides across
the street to buy himself pair Of
shoes. Such conditions were extreme
ly bad The producer got practically
nothing, while the retailer took pro-
fits that were unreasonable. Today
hides are selling at and 8 cents
with an upward tendency that prom-
ses return to normal. The bottom
fell completely out of the wool mar
ket. Never was it so low and in 50
little demand. Prices of 5 to 8 cents
per pound were quoted. Today it is
selling at from Is to 20 cents. Many
other commodities have been similar
ly affected; but the tendency is up
ward, all of which bespeak a revival
of business and the employment of
labor, and it cannot be long to the
time when the vast army Of Ameri-
can unemployed will be reduced to
few stragglers who neither seek or
want work. These we will always
have with us; but for the ablebodied
and industrious man there are good
times coming.

To the Honorable Twenty Third ind

Robert Jones. Charge of Murder.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ....
We have inquired into the condi-
tions relative to the public schools of
the Parish and find that the only
thing that we would urge action up
on is the question of observing the
compulsory education law. We find
that all the public schools in the Par
ish are crowded to their limit and
all we can do is suggest that the va
rious school districts consider the
problem of additional construction in
order to handle additional pupils.
PUBLIC ROADS.
We commend the splendid work of
the Police Jury of the Parish in the
economical way that they have gone
about constructing public roads.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
we have visited Ihe jail and Court
House and have found the condition
of same excellent.
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
We have examined the balances Of |
the Parish Treasurer and Tax Col
iector and find that same checks with
the bank.
We commend Sheriff Pecot for his
vigiient efforts in suppressing the
diabolicai business of manufacturing
and selling liquor contrary to law.
We believe the sentiment of the Par
ish is strongly behind the Sheriff in
these efforts.
AUTOMOBILES.
We recommend that the speed and
iimmer laws be rigidly enforced.
