May BE Troublesome.


The new national champion. Edgar r
Appleby, may be troublesome at Phla-
delphia. If he will perform in line with
his practice operations he will win. He
is a strong general player. has a good
draw, an effective masse and man.
ages well. His weakness is an inclina-
tion to play masse shots at times when
simpler stroke is more valuable A
year ago he was a better player thar
he now is. Then Maurice Daily said
of him. His masse and dead ball are
as good as almost anybody can show
During the summer and fall he in
dulged in tennis.
Five weeks ago he appeared at Days
to practice. He employed a lively ball
and his masse was harsh and inaccurate
Daily said: practice. Get a set of balls
and apply yourself to- dead ball and
masse work" He followed instructions
Now he is a champion.
+. S. Appleby is not the artist his
brother is. He is a different type OF
player. Yet, many maintain that he is
the stronger of the two. Nobody who is
familiar with their games will venture
an opinion that either is 10 per cent
better than the other. In the tourna-
ment at the Crescent Athletic Club he
m!nimized his game by safety tactics.
lie ala not give hllnSelf chance to make
such a record as he should have made.
The two brothers, who are graduates
Of Columbia and OF the Columbia Law
School, served more than two years in
the A. T.. r. In France. When the
United States became involved in the
war the brothers promptly enlisted and
were assigned to the Quartermasters'
Department. When aviation became the
factor it was in the war Edgar tried to
get into that service. Being valuable
where he was, his request for a transfer
was refused. Some of his friends assert
that IL he had been transferred he would
not now be champion or playing bill
iards. Fond of adventure and eager to
take chances, hostile airmen would prob
ably have ended his career.
Percy Collins will be an attraction
perhaps an important factor in the tour
nament. None Of the other entrants, not
even the foreigners, is more spectacular
His execution of draw. masse shots
and dead ball drives approximate per-
fection. When employing a free stroke
he is both accurate and fascinating. In
the recent tournament, with one excep-
tion. an ideal run of 90. when he had
the balls well together, his stroke seemed
to get cramped and his second ball play
crude. If he will conserve his resources
and apply himself to close manipulation
he will be extremely dangerous.

Bos Speedy and Dazzling.

Bos is slim. buoyant, volatile, speedy.
dazzling and amusing. Apparently care
less. he plays more rapidly than any
other billiard champion ever did and
withal. is generally accurate. Persons
who have seen him play in Paris de-
scribe him as "a sprinter and a magi-
cian"
How fast he plays was evidenced in
Paris two years ago, when he scored
100 points in minutes and % seconds.
Skill and versatility support dynamic
quality. A marvellous masse executant,
by some good judges of billiards con-
sidered the best ever, he is indifferent
to positions and in a sort of disinter-
ested manner overcomes seemingly in
surmountabe obstacles.
At the Crescent Athletic Club one af-
ternoon he made a peculiar masse, did
it with an air of indifference and so
quickly that while half the spectators
were laughing and applauding an equal
number were asking What did he DOR
In billiards he is a novelty and a
freak. He must be seen in action to be
appreciated How he will realize on his
resources in the tournament remains
to be seen. In the 1920 tournament. at
Paris he made a high run of 142. a
high average of 29.4 and a grand aver
age of 22.6 A year ago he won with a
grand average of 23.5

in a quarter of an hour we were off
in a swinging gallop. This pace we
kept until the negro was completely
exhausted, when we allowed him to
drop out, knowing that he could not
reach the enemy before we were in
comparative safety. Being free from
the encumbrance, we urged our al
ready well jaded horses to their best

when we were glad to stop for a
rest, having been in the saddle some
fourteen to sixteen hours. We de-

La. CONFEDERATE PENSIONERS
WILL GET XMAS CHECK.

BATON ROUGE, Nov. 16-Con-
federate pensioners throughout Louis
lana will receive a Christmas check
of $50 each as payment for the last
quarter of 1922. This is the net re-
suit of separate meetings of the state
board liquidation and state PEN
sion board conducted today in Baton
Rouge.
The board of liquidation voted
unanimously for the amount proposed
and authorized the governor, auditor
and treasurer to complete the neces-
sary arrangements.
The state pension board met imm'e-
diately after the adjournment of the
state board of liquidation. 1t was
decided to pay $50 to each Confed-
crate pensioner for the last quarter
of 1922. There are few pensioners
however, who draw a maximum pen
sion of $40 a month. They viii have
their pension proportionately reduced
for the quarter.

LESPEDEZA SEED CROP SHORT.

The 1922 Louisiana lespedeza seed
crop will probably be 50 percent
short of the 1921 production, nc
cording to Z. G. Logan, secretary
manager Of the Farm Bureau I.cspe-
deza Seed Growers Association, who
stated today that destructive storms
in the principal producing sections
Of the state have combined with gen.
orally unfavorable conditions to
greatly curtail the yield.
Mr.. Logan stated that although
the association membership has been
increased by SO percent, It is ex-
tremely doubtful if the volume of
seed handled will reach last years
total Of 10000 bushels. Prospects,
he said, would indicate a consider
able increase in price above 1921
levels.
The uncertain factor in the mark.
ct will be the carry-over Of last
years seed, a great many farmers
outside the association having failed
to sell all Of their production last
year on account of the unusually
heavy crop. Production of lespede-
"a seed is confined mostly to a few
Of the Florida parishes in Louisiana
and q limited area in Mississippi.
Plans are being made by the mem
bers Of the West Carroll parish Farm
Bureau to take advantage Of the "a
do service that is being established
for farmers by the U. S. department
Of agriculture by installing a radio
receiving and broadcasting set at Oak
Grove. A meeting has been called
by j. r. Anderson, secretary, and E.
N. Sledge, county agent, for Wed
nesday, November %, when the
members will decide whether or not
they want this service.
A program for the "Victory week.
drive Of the Louisiana Farm Bureau
Cotton Association will also be work.
ed out at this meeting, and a sell
ing organization for poultry will be
formed.

FRANKLIN PARISH GOES OVER
THE TOP.

Franklin parish went over the top
last week in the cotton campaign of
the Louisiana Farm Bureau Cotton
Association with a total of GOAT
bales pledged to the commodity
marketing plan, according to G. U.
Barnett, field representative of the
association for this parish. The par
ish quota was 5000 bales, repre-
senting approximately one-third of
the total production.
This parish has led the state con-
sistently in the cotton sign-up
throughout the season, and the mem
bership in the cotton association
represents the most progressive ele-
ment of the farmers in this section.
More than 5000 bales had been
pledged before the Farm Bureau
started its intensive campaign Last
month, Parish Agent W. A. Owens
and local Farm Bureau officials hay
ing thoroughly organized the farm
ers earlier in the season. Total men,
bership now is approximately 400
which Is said to be the highest in
the state.
The volume of business now being
handled by the mill at Crowley, I'M
der lease to the Farm Bureau Rice
Growers Association, has grown SO
rapidly that it will probably be neces-
sary to secure second mill before
Christmas, according to a report
from M. C. Graham, field represent
alive of the association, received
at Farm Bureau headquarters at
Baton Rouge yesterday.
Farmers in the rice belt are rap
idly falling in line with the CO.
operative organization, and the men,
bership has been substantially in
creased within the last few weeks,
Mr.. Graham states, necessitating the
employment of three additional
graders and new clerical help.
The farmers are now being fl
nanced by banks in New Orleans,
acting in cooperation with local fl
nancial institutions. No outside cap
ital has 80 far been employed.

Feet, and as evidence the following
Is submitted by those in charge of

Exceeding al costs for feed, as
well as marketing costs, corn msrket-

OF the feed the steers made for
hogs following them, or for manure

A BEAUTIFUL LETTER.

212S GEM. Pershing Street.
Mr.. Josiah p. Scott
Editor Tensas Gazette
st. Joseph, Louisiana
My dear SIR
Your letter of 18th inst, enclos-
ing roster Tensas Cavalry, received,
and l thank you. The first copy,
received a few days earlier, ana
which prompted my communication,
came through the courtesy OF Miss
Leila A. Green of Church Hill, JEFF
ferson county, Miss, aunt of the
late Abner E. Green, of your parish,
who was also my nephew, his mother,
Mrs. Payne Green, dead just one
year, at age of S5, being my sister.
As your letter is in interest OF
two Confederate widows and one
veteran, viz: Mrs. jamie Buckner
and Mrs. Eliza Clarkson and Mr..
Geo. N. Clarke, gladly contribute
my testimony towards establishing
their claim to q Confederate pen
sion.
As to Mr.. Clarke: cannot recall
either George or William Clarke,
whose names appear on the muster
out roll and also Maj. McCal's
roster. / observe that their names,
like my own, do not appear on the
original roster, when the Company
was organized and mustered into the
Confederate service. Evidently they,
like myself, Joined the Company af-
ter regimental organization was
perfected, as did Louis Buckner, al
though his brother, William A. Buck
ner, was one of the original COM
mand, and, / am proud to say, was
one of my closest friends, and as
sociates, as were also the brothers
Nichols-"Jimmie," as he was ia
miliarly called, and Charley The
name of Walter T. Clarkson is also
embalmed in my memory as a dear
friend, and l will say, if my saying
will carry any weight, that, asso-
ciating those three names-Buck-
ner, Nichols and Clarkson-no Drawer
soldiers or truer men ever wore the
Confederate uniform. And all gone
before!
Truly, as Tom Moore so patheti-
cally said,
81 feel like one who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted;
Whose garlands dead, whose lights
are fed
And all save him departed.
"Thus in the Silly night,
Ere slumber's chains hath bound me
Sad memory brings the light
Of other days round me-"
l am enclosing you the obituary
Of Caleb h. Snyder, which l wrote
on the occasion Of his death. Use it
Il you care to, if not please re-
turn.
If you could drum up a few SUBJ
scribers for the Confederate Vet
eran" it would be- appreciated by
the Daughters of Confederate Vet
erans," who alone keep it alive.
With fraternal greetings and
best wishes to all surviving Con-
federates, as well as for your own
success and prosperity, remain,
Very truly yours,
