Opportunity for Alaska Crab Packers.
(Pacific Fisherman. ]


 Indications now are that packers of Alaska crab meat who have worked their mechanical prob- iems Tn satisfactory shape are to have opportunity to place their goods in American markets this year This IS due to the prospective shortage of the crab pack indicated by advces recently received
 IL IS stated that the crab packers of Karafuto where the bulk of the pack is put up after failing to solve their problems last year by consolidation have placed their affairs in the hands of the Nichiro dyogyo kaisha, the principal KamcIaka salmon can- ning concern. Several of that company's best men were sent early in the year to take charge of tbe karafuto plants, with instructions close bot sixty of them and consolidate the years operations at en canneries. The intention in part to securo a more uniform pack and partly to give the crabs a chance as the supply has been greatly depleted
 It is expected that the canneries controlled Inv the Nehiro interests Will put up only about 15 OOO cases which is estimated to be about half of tba seasons pack in Japan. The intention is further to market large part of this-a greater pronorton than ever Defore-in Great Britain, a result of which the supply available for American markets will be very light.

HIGH LIBERTY BONDS PRICES AND
 THEIR MEANING.

The credit and general financial condi- ton of a country is measured more than any
 thing else by the value on the market of the bonds of the government. If country is
 recovering from difficulties, it will be found
 that it's public obligations rising in
 value.--( Port Angeles News)
 The deductions from the fact of increased prices flor Liberty Bonds not necessarily correct. The low prices of the bonds year two ago not all due any lack of faith in the credit of the United States. They were due to two things First, the wide distribution among people who ordinarily were investors who offered their bonds for sale when the war was fast that investors could absorb them; second the opportunity for greater profit from the of money in other fields Grad ually, investors picked up the bonds and retired them from what might be called general circulation, and tightening business eased the demand for money in the industries and trade, money would ordinarily seek the high profit from employment in Business has turned toward these safe, ow-interest investments.
 The high prevailing prices for Government securi- ties show of course, that there is abundance of money in the country, but the rapid rise also indi- lack of profitable securities that are re- garded safe by those who have the money

Canning Factory
To Start Monday

The Bogalusa Farm Products Co.,
owners of the local canning plant,
will resume operation on next Mon
day, when they will begin canning the
crop Of sweet potatoes.
At meeting held Saturday, which
was attended by about sixty farmers,
it was estimated that there would be
between $4,000 and 10000 bushels Of
sweet potatoes harvested in this see
ton. A price of 40 cents a bushel
will be paid, which means that. if
these figures are correct, between
$4,000 and $4,000 will be paid the
farmers for their crop. No potatoes
under two inches will be accepted,
nor can the potato know as the
nanny" be used.
There will be sufficient sweet po-
tatoes to keep the plant nj operation
for several months, which will result
in a nice weekly payroll as well as
giving the farmers a good cash crop.
Manager Lott expects to turn out
one of the finest packs ever made.

Reid Brunot
Run-Off Tuesday

During the past few days there has
been renewed interest in the coming
primary election which will be held
next Tuesday, when there will be a
run-off between Judge Reid of Amite
and Judge Brunot of Baton Rouge
for the Democratic nomination for
justice Of the Supreme Court. Both
sides are claiming a victory and are
confident of election.
The voting places in Washington
parish will be the same as four weeks
ago. In Bogalusa they are: City
Hall, the building opposite the Coca
Coca bOttling plant, Red Cross Sal
wage Station and Columbia street
fire station.
It is the opinion that the vote in
BOgalusa will not be as great as
at the first primary, while in the ru-
raj district a heavier vote is expected.
Judge Carruth, who was eliminated
in the first primary, has thrown his
support to Judge Brunot and it is
said Judge Brunot will get big ma
jority in the parishes on the west side
of the Mississippi river. On this side
of the river, however, the Reid forces
are better organized than at the time
of the first primary and those who
have made a study of the situation
are inclined to believe it will be
very close contest.

MISS MAUD OWEN BYERS
HAS BIRTHDAY PARTY

Little Miss Maud Owen, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. D. G. Ryers of
Louisiana avenue, boasts of the liv-
lest "time of her life" on last Fri
day afternoon when she was the dis
tinguished guest at her tenth birth
day party, so artistically planned for
the entertainment of thirty-three 1T
tie girls and boys.
Mrs. Byers, who proved a charm
ing hostess from to 6 o'clock, used
a pink and white color scheme in her
and the diningroom was
like a picture. After all the little
guests were well exercised in playing
games, they assembled in the spacious
where the big, tempting
birthday cake, plenty of ice cream
and fudge candy awaited them.
After having assured each one
again and again that every gift, even
though they very numerous and beau
tiful, was appreciated, Maud Owen
in her modest, winsome way came
forward and lighted the ten white
and pink candles topping the birth
day cake, then tried her skill at blow
ing them out.
Those assisting Mrs. Byers were:
Mesdames Charles .Mullings, c. Ellis
OFT and George F. Wolbrecht.
