factory The net operating revenue
was the largest the road has reported
in the last ten years, Mr.. Hayden said,
while the operating ration was re-
ported at 1901 per cent, Substantial
~ better than the 1921 ratio"
I'VE estimate that the loss in freight
revenue for the first six months of
1922. due to the reduction in rates,
made effective January January last,
on grain and livestock, amounts to
about $4,000, 000." Mr.. Hayden stated.

The Annex

Quite an innovation in bushes:
circles in Natchitoches was the
J formal opening of The Annex by
Jensen and Barnhill Saturday
when they invited the public te
visit their new department, The
Ladies Exclusive Shop, which was
thronged with interested visitors
all day long. who were charmed
with the beautiful and artistic sur
roundings, arranged for their CON-
fort and convenience.
The Annex adjoins the big store
in the Teddlie building recently
erected for this new firm which.
though coming to Natchitoches at
the height of the general business
depression, have established them
selves very firmly here by reason
of their uniform courtesy, good
business methods, fairness to their
eompetitorsand making themselves
at once a part of our citizenship.
The fact that they have gained
respect and goodwill was evil
denced by the handsome floral
offerings sent for the opening by
several of the business firms as
we'll as other friends. which were
used most effectively for decora-
tion.
The main room IS fitted with
the latest models In cabinet and
display cases of walnut, for dresses
lingerie and millinery, with solid
sliding glass doors, full length
mirrors, tables, drawers, etc.,
while a fitting room, and hand
somely furnished rest room all
beaverbOarded with all the con
veniences for out, of-town visitors
make the Annex as attractive and
up to-date as any place of its kind
to be ,ound IN a big city.
A handsome victrola with all
the latest records furnished for
the occasion by Tie Peoples Hard
ware and Furniture Company
surpiled music during the day.
while the many visitors were
regalcd with Eskimo Pies.

Velvet Beans

In 1917 there was probably less
than one hundred acres planted in
velvet beans in Natchitoches Par.
ish while there was about eight
thousand acres planted in 1921.
This is a wonderful development,
but this parish plants about thirty
five to forty thousand acres in
Corn every year and eyefy acre
should have beans or peas planted
in time to make peas and beans
in addition to the corn.
Various methods are employed
in planting the beans. Some per-
fer to plant corn in four foot rows
and plant beans only on every
third row alone making two rows
of corn and one of beans; others
prefer to put the beans between
the hills of corn on every row at
the first working of the corn
while others plant corn and beans
all together. Plant 80 you will be
sure to get your beans in the
ground by or before the first of
May and you are reasonably sure
to get a fair crop, with pasturage
for all your stock during the win
ter when it is so much needed,
and in addition the experiments
carried on here in the parish show
an increased yield IN cotton plant
ed the following year over lands
where no beans were planted Of
100 to 800 pounds seed cotto per
acre.
Many of our farmers are saving
their own seed and you can prob
ably get seed from your neighbor
if you do not have them already.
Get plenty of beans kIanted and
you will have fat stock next win
tes and better land to cultivate
next year.

The FIRST Of the Season

On last Sunday evening q few
of the local fans we're treated to
a v.rv good ball game which bad
bern planned at the eleventh hour;
the game was played between
teams representing the local lodge
of EIks and Knights of Columbus.
As a good many of the players had
not played in 10 these many years,
it was anticipated that it would
develop into regular merry 60
round; but the game had not long
been in progress when it was
realized that it would be q real
ball game. Payne pitched for the
K. of G. and Abe Bath Of TO de
war fame, pitched the irst three
innings for the Elks and would
have held the Csseys scoreless but
for few errors behind him; with
u little practice, we think he could
stage q great comeback. Melan.
con pitched the rest Of the game
for the Elks and held the Caseys
scoreless. It was y good workout
for all concerned and as another
game will be played on next Sun
day., all those wishing to see a
good game and also help the Base
Ball Association are requested to-
turn out en- masse; all loyal Elks
and K. of G. rooters are urged to
come out and root tor their teams.
The entire proceeds 60 to the Nat
chitoches Base Bail Association.
Sundays game will start at 500.

To the Farmer, Merchant, Bank
er and Other Cotton In
tereStS of the South

The Cotton Acreage Committee il
bringing its work for this season to .
close. 1t feels that good has been &C
complished. There are some who ar.
disposed to say that the crop of 1872
was small, not because of the South
united effort to reduce acreage, bu
because of the boil weevil-in fact
they are willing to give credit to any
cept the good common sense of the
southern people and their ability to CO.
operate.
The Cotton Acreage Committee took
Q prominent part in agitating acreage
reduction in the spring of 1921. but 1t
does not feel that It is worth while tt
argue about the extent of its accom-
plishments. 1t is satisfied to know
that the crop was less than 8, ,0OO, ,OOl
bales, that there is more food and feed
stuffs in the south than ever before,
and that the disaster which threatened
during the spring of 1921 is averted.
There is now no over-supply of cot.
ton. There will be no over. supply OF
cotton during the statistical year which
begins August /, 1922, if the crop this
year is held to not more than 10, 600, ,OOO
bales. The planting this year should
be such that, under no circumstances
can a crop of more than 10, OOO, ,OO0
bales be produced. A crop Of more
than 10, ,O00, 400 bales will not be pro-
duced If the south plants enough acre
a&e to food and feedstuffs for its farms
70 be self sustaining in these products.
We do not and have never advocated
that the southern farmers should UNDER
take to produce food and feedstufts for
market. +-. 2.
Boil weevil will be worse this year.
it 10 thought. than ever before. The
area of infestation is larger than it
has ever been since the pest entered
this country from Mexico in 1892. The
winter survival is unprecedented If
you have not seen the government re-
ports on this subject we suggest that
you might find them interesting.
Late planting would be the rankest
folly. cotton planted after April Is
will have little chance in any section
where there is boil weevil. In the
lower belt no cotton should be planted
after April 10.
In our final appeal to the public; we
are asking it to take this matter Of
probable boil weevil damage into con-
sideration to the end that no matter
Whist happens no human being nor any
livestock on the farm will suffer this
winter. The self sustaining farm will
not only be indepepdsnt Of any disaster
that may happen TO its cotton crop,
but it will also be independent IN its
dealings with the cotton market.
The Cotton Acreage COMMITTEES,
since the soath-wide meeting held in
Memphis early December, has sent out
approximately one million pieces Of
printed matter and thousands Of letters.
besides supplying I mat service to
requesting it. Great care
has been exercised in every verbal or
written expression coming from the

closest scrutiny Of friends and all at

Easter Sunday inasmuch as it com
memorates the triumphant consuma
ton Of the work of which the Redeemel
Of the World had come from heaven t.
accomplish, is day which always ap
peals to the Christian heart
1t will remain, until the end of time
the standing and effective reminder te
the non christian of the divinity of the
Founder Of the Christian religion anc
the obligation imposed upon all who
look to a happy immortality of con-
forming their life in the new dispense
tion which He inaugurated.
Therefore, it is that in keeping with
the greatness of the day. the services
of the church are made unusually SOL
emn and impressive, awakening the
religious sentiments of souls whose
guardianship has been entrusted to her
and whom she would seek to lead in a
way of peace, of light and of truth.
Here, at Bermuda, our little Chapel
the Easter ceremonies were carried
out with great splendor,
+ The altar was gorgeous in the rich
decorations, which shown forth splen-
didly amid the blaze of myriads of
lights, while the air was redplent with
the sweet perfume of the profusion of
flowers with which it was adorned.
Mass was celebrated by our beloved
pastor Rev. j. B. Kelly assisted by
his altar boys Masters Alton Lambre
and J. L. Prudhomme Jr.
The solemnity OF. the services was
well observed in the music by our choir
under the skillful direction of Miss

The music and singing rendered, was
at once devotional and artistic, ap-
pealing to the feelings of the heart
snd pleasing to the taste Of the lover
of music.
