SOME RAOI0CRAPHS ON THE FAIR.

Over fifteen thousand people visit
ed the Fair during the three days.
The Pavilion, with it's new lighting
system made a pretty appearance
and the Dance Committee and Fair
Association each cleaned up $25O.oO
as its share of the three evenings
dancing.
One of the real features was the
candy wheel, presided over by Max,
Charles, Taft and Bill, with Max's
minstrels giving continuous per-
formance. They made a $40O profit
for the Fair. Some hustlers!
Mr.. R. H. Morrel, winner of a
Blue Ribbon in the Poultry Show,
has announced that he is satisfied
with his ribbon-and wishes to turn
the cash prize over to the Associa-
ton to help in staging the Fair
again next year. This is dandy
idea-and might we'll be followed by
the other prize winners.
The Radio-Phone erected by Frank
Barranco of Lafayette was great
center Of interest, entertaining large
crowds each evening.
The fancy work booth would have
been a credit to any Fair in Ameri-
ca.
The prizes in this Division were
donated by the Pollyanna Shop, and
won by Miss Constance Broussard,
first, and Miss Ida Widney, second,

Our Parish Fair far surpasses the
District Fair, according to all testi.

our local Poultry Division not only
had a far superior class of birds or
exhibition, but even had a much
larger number of entries, in spite of
the fact that Lafayette is supported
by several parishes.
Mr.. st. Dizier is in charge Of

Community SERVICE
PLANNING SHOW.
Changes Made In Fun Fest
Schedules.

During the days of the Fair tbs
Community Service Director had in
charge a daily average of $50 child
rem, entertaining them with games
and stories. On Sunday over 400
children were handled at the C. S.
tents.
A great deal of the material and
articles used by Miss Hannah were
loaned or given free of charge, in
cluding tents and cots loaned by
the American Legion, flag end pole,
by Supt. Porter, basket balls from
High School, boxes and paper by Mr.
Estorge, chairs, table and typewriter
from Chamber of Commerce, water
cooler by Luke Bertrand, rope by
Miss Herpeche, 80 sacks by Mrs.
Broussard, material for sign by Spe-
cialty Store, cloth sign painted by
E. j. Carstens, ST., benches from M.
Sealy, and free drayage by Bertrand
Lumber Co.
This generosity enabled the entire
program of Community Service, in
cluding School Rally Day program,
to be put on for cash expenditure
of but $4.2O. Proper credit, however,
must be given for the excellent man
agement of Miss Hannah.

HEAVY LOSSES TO
THE PACKERS IN 1872 |
WORST YEAR IN HISTORY OF
MORRIS & co. LOSS OVER
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Morris & Com
pany, packers, sustained net loss for
the year ending Oct. %, 1921, of S.
O63, 5000, while this loss and operat-
ing expenses reduced the surplus &C
count from $1327l796.20 to $500
255.43, according to the financial re-
port made public today.
Volume of sales was satisfactory,
however, the report said, and cash IN
bank is more than $2,500,000 and quick
liabilities are about $7,800,0O0, while
quick assets are more than S39,00OOO0,
a ratio of about five to one.
Commenting on the report, Nelson
Morris, chairman of the board OF di-
rectors, said:
The year just closed has probably
been the worst year i'll the history OF
the live stock and packing business.
The tremendous drop i'll all live stock
and wholesale meat prices below pre-
war levels has made it impossible to
operate except at loss; a large part
OF which, OF course, was caused by
readjusting inventory values to the
new basis.
Prospects for the coming year are
better"
Mr.. Morris said the new wage scale
for packing house workers would save
the company $l,500,000 annually, but
that further cat may be necessary.
The business is also handicapped by
high freight rates, he said.

ST. INTERESTED

ALMOST ~ 1ECENT UT
TERANCE IN bx. NC CIR
Giles TOUCHES SUBJECT.

NEW YORK.-Wal1 streets inter
est in events at Washington has drift
ed rapidly from international affairs
to the much discussed agricultural
bloc" and the position of the farmer
in the country's social and economic
scheme.
Almost every recent utterance OF
leading bank officials has dwelt with
emphasis on this situation. The Feb
ruary circular OF the Mechanics and
Metals National Bank, which has
many correspondents and other direct
connections throughout the farming
sections of the west, says in part:
THE farmers ill-fortune has not
been matter OF overnight develop
ment. 1t has been feature of increas-
ing significance over a period of nearly
two years, or since the prices OF food
stuffs began their downward sweep.
Like the hardship which has been
an almost universal feature of industry
and commerce in the postwar read
justment period the hardship of agri-
culture has been attended by over
production, collapsed markets, block
ed distribution and low prices, and has
made the lot of the producer a par
ticularly hard one. This applies alike
to the corn and wheat grower of the
middle west, the cattle producer OF
the western range, the cotton planter
of the south and the potato farmer OF
New England"

Science Is Fighting a
Winning Battle Against
Blindness in the u. S.
Average Is One for Every 1000 Pop
ulation. There Are More Blind
Males Than Females.

Science is fighting winning battle
against blindness, census hgures Just
announced show.
+, There were 52,617 blind persons in
the United States in 1920, compared
with 57.272 in 1910. While the decrease
NAV be accounted for in part by a
change in the method of reporting the
blind the report states the belief thai
medical science is making progress IN
preventable cases.
The average is one blind person Tor
every 1000 OF population. There are
three blind males for every two 1e-
males so afflicted.
Blindness is most common among
Indians. with approximately 200 blind
for every 100000 of population. Ne
proes are next with sixty blind per
100000. The white percentage is 49,
per 100000, while japanese and Chi
nese are at the bottom OF the list with
23.2 per 100000
New England has the largest per
centage of blind with 63.5 per 100000,
while the west south central states are
lowest with 41.6 per 100000.

What Foreign Delegates Say of the
Arms Conference and Its Achievements

fment of peace was to be secured by
1.-THE suppression OF war" he asserted,
adding that "by diminishing the caus-
es OF war and decreasing the weapons
of war we have reduced the possibility
of war"
! NJ. Sarraut described the conference
as "a Hottest precedent OF mankind"
Senator Schanzer, then speaking for
Italy, declared the conference had
marked the point of departure of a
NEW era of peace"
"Unanimity of views could hardly
be expected on all questions, said
Baron Shidehara, speaking for Japan.
But after numerous sessions one
broad fact has been brought markedly
to the lore. 1t has been that all diff
ferences of opinion relate not so
much to the ultimate purposes OF the
nations in the Pacific as to the means
by which such purposes are to be at
tanned. 1t has been found that we are
striving for the same goal in life and
that goal is now in sight.
Take for instance the Chinese prob

"What has the conference revealed?

ed the four great rules of international
conduct with regard to China than
those proposals met a ready, sponta-
neous and whole-hearted approval OF
all nations They laid the foundation
for the work of the delegations and
for friendly understanding"
Results Gratifying, Says Belgium.
Baron de Cartier of Belgium added
his fluctuations on the work of the
conference, in a short speech delivered
in French. The conference, he said,
had resulted in accomplishments most
gratifying to the Belgium government,
which felt a lasting gratitude to the
American government for its leader
ship.
Minister SEE for China assured the
conference that his government felt
most gratihed over what had been
done both in regard to the Far East
and ornaments. China, he said, APP
preciated fully what Baron Shidehara
had said about the future of the Chi
nese nation, (which he said would in
the future guard against any nation
gaining any special interest in its ter
ritory.
"Sincere satisfaction" over the con-
ference results was expressed by Jonk-
heer Won Blokland for The Neither
lands.

Portugal by Viscount DATE.

PENAL POPULATION
OF GEORGIA 1867
LARGE INCREASE DURING THE
YEAR. ONLY FIVE FELONY
CONVICTS DIED.

There are in Georgia 1875 more
convicts than there were on the first
day of January, 1921, when the total
number was 5,692. On January /,
1922, according to statistics just as
sembled by Secretary Goodloe H.
Yancey for the annual report of the
prison commission, there were in the
state and county convict camps to-
tai of 1867 prisoners. OF this number
6.352 are negroes and 1875 are white
felons, an increase during the year OF
1.557 in negroes and 418 in whites.
The number of females serving fell
ony sentences is 201, an increase Of
80. The black females increased from
Us to 308 and the white females from
81 to 90.
The total number of misdemeanor
prisoners now in the convict camps OF
the state is APO, an increase of 1,845
since the last annual report. OF this
number 1857 are negro men and 60O
white men, an increase in blacks OF
1,148 and in whites of 287. Negro wo-
men number 10 as against 20 year
ago, and white women among this
class of prisoners have increased from
.28 to 81.
OF 337 prisoners who were paroled
during 1921 only six were returned to
the penitentiary for violating their pa
roles. The records in the Office OF the
prison commission show this is the
smallest number in any year since the
parole law was enacted.
During the year 207 prisoners were
released upon parole by the governor
on recommendations OF the prison
commission. Many of these recon-
mendations were made in former years
and we're left Enacted upon by former
governors when they went out OF OF
fee.
The records show that during the
wear there were 278 escapes from the
entire prison system, and of this num-
Der 1872 were recaptured.
Out of the 3,547 felony convicts
there were only five deaths in 1921,
a remarkably small number, and a
great deal smaller percentage than
among the people of the state enjoy
ing freedom.

GOOD ROADS TO
BELT THE EARTH
IMPROVED HIGHWAYS WILL
REACH AROUND WORLD.
GREAT SUMS SPENT.

What the new federal highway ap-
preparation to be expended under the
direction of the bureau OF public roads,
United States department of agricul-
ture, will mean to the country is ac-
curately gagged in a synopsis prepared
by the bureau, showing the use to
which the S275,000,000 previously ap-
propriated by congress has been put.
up to December 81, S212,077 ,246 had
been put to work in projects either en-
tirely complete or under construction.
To that amount the states approprlat-
ed S285379,312, making a total OF
.S497 ,456,558.
If placed end to end the roads to
be paid for by this money would en-
circle the earth at the equator and
extend as far as from New York to
San Francisco on the second lap. The
total rnilage OF roads under construc-
ton and completed, the departments
records show, was approximately IL
900 miles. OF this mileage 9,555 miles
was in projects entirely completed.
The balance of 17,445 miles was in
projects which were still under con-
struction but reported 60 per cent
completed October 81. In those prof.
ects there was the equivalent OF H.
900 miles of completed roads, SO that
the completed road to date was more
than 21,000 miles, or nearly enough
to encircle the globe.
Prior to FIVE years ago the federal
government took no active part in the
road construction OF the country. To-
day about one-half of all roads under
construction are being aided Jy tha
federal government, and the construc-
ton is subject to inspection and ap-
proval of federal engineers.

GEORGIA HAS 453
CENTENARIANS NOW
PEOPLE LIVE TO AN OLD AGE
IN THIS STATE, CENSUS
REPORT SHOWS.

WASHINGTON.-Ffow many cen
tenarians are there in Georgia? The
United States census bureau answers
this question today. It states that the
census shows there are 453 persons IN
Georgia who are 100 years old and
over. This is remarkable record and
.surpasses most other states. In Flori-
da there are 103 eentenarians OF whom
80 are males and o. are females. Oh
the Georgia centenarians l5S are males
and POS are females.
Southern states generally have more
old people than northern. Contrasting
Georgia with Wisconsin shows re
markable result. Wisconsin has only
40 centenarians, of whom "a are males
and rs are females. Ohio has only 65
centenarians. Georgia has 1907 in the
class between 90 and "a years OF age
and .3oo in the class from 95 to go.
