ing five mules hitched to e. wagon

lumber was passing over it. The

when it fell to the shallow water 22
feet below. AS the crash came the
weight of the load jerked the leads.

PUBLIC SHOCKED BY DIS
ASTER,

The collapsing of the Lee
Road bridge over the Bogue Fa-
laya River has excited alarm.
Traffic to-day makes consider
ably more demand upon struc-
lures Of that kind. 1t is feared
that the old bridges can not
safely stand the strain. The
ordinary man is not capable of
making a satisfactory inspec-
tion of bridges; especially steel
bridges that require expert
knowledge. There should be an
inspection of the Covington steel
bridge and the bridge near Cow
ington on the Madisonville road.
While an ordinary inspection
may reveal nothing wrong, an
expert might find weakness.
The Cahier bridge was inspected
d month ago, yet it collapsed
with the weight of five mules
and a load of probably eight
thousand pounds. Some say
fifteen thousand pounds. The
school transfer, loaded with
children, passed over this bridge
every day to and from school.

MADISONVILLE LETTER.
by Staff Correspondent

Madisonville, April 27.-The st.
Iammany Reds met their first de-
eat Of the season Sunday afternoon
,ihen the fast Tulane nine Of New
orleans smothered them in 10-1
count, on the diamond here. The
solitary run scored on Perrin's hit
n the third inning killed complete
shut-out for the. Reds, who were
guilty of bungling in the third de-
gree in several instances. Masterful
playing Of the Olive and Blue held
the spectators interest intact to the
finish, and the star hitting Of the
Reds that unfortunately brought no
results, featured the game.
Sunday, April 80, the local cluo
will play the Sycamore Nine of Pom
chatoula, here in Madisonvil1e. From
all accounts the game will be very
interesting, as it is reported that the
Sycamores are cracker-jacks and this
will be our first clash with them.
The game will be called at 2:30.

When fine manufactured product has continued to
inspire public confidence long period OF years,
there always arrives dramatic moment when its con-
quest of the nation becomes complete and absolute.
This Aoodde period of public appreciation has arrived
in the history of the Packard with the advent OF the
splendid new Sngle>Six.
The reception accorded this Packard is far and
away the most significant and outstanding fact OF
Packard Development
1t is infinitely more than merely new registration Of
Packard prestge-t is literally conquest of the nation
in larger and universal than ever before.
Everywhere this new Packard is the outstanding figure
stamped with the seal of unnistakable leadership
Three times the capacity Of the great Packard plants
being called for-many times the ability OF branches,
distributors and dealers supply being demanded.
It would not be natural or human if the Packard
Company remained unmoved by this overwhelming
bestowa Of public favor.
Faithful throughout the years to the highest standards
it possible conceive and apply, it is good to
the steadast recognition of past years blossom and flower
into still greater national leadership. .-,@
There are more good things-more really remarkable
tings-to be said for this new Packard Singe>Sx than
we would care to say in this announcement
But why indeed trouble say them in the face Of this
splendid ovation?
We can only pledge ourselves to do all in our power to
the end that as few as possible may be disappointed in
their desire to acquire the Packard Singe,Six.
The Packard Company promises the motoring public
the maximum production consistent with fine
manufacture. 1t is the purpose Of this announcement
to assure you that Packard will apply to the utmost,
its great facilities toward the satisfaction Of the
whelming demand for the new Sngle>Six.
