STUDEBAKERS
HAVE BIG YEAR
Make New Record for 1921
and Plan Big Future.

With the big automobile factory at
South Bend working to capacity on a
production schedule calling for 5000
Studebaker cars this month, 100 in
February, the shortest month of the
year, and 5000 to $500 In March, the
Studebaker Corporation of Ameria Is in
position to look upon the term "fnan-
ial depression" as a myth. At least this
Is the opinion expressed by an official
Of the Buck Company, distributors in
this territory for the Studebaker auto
mobile.
con Dec 81, studebaker closed the
most successful year in its history" he
said. THE company sold about &C, 500
cars, even more than in the record year
of 1916, when the company turned Ou>
a large amount of war business. The
receipts of the company will exceed $685.
100000 The company will go into 1922
in the strongest financial position in its
history. 1t has between $S000,O00 and
100000 cash and owes nothing at the
banks AS q matter Of fact today Stude-
baker is a lender OF money, not a bor-
rover.
THE South Bend plant now IS operat-
ing at capacity. The production sched-
ule calls for 5000 cars this month, 1900
in February, and 5000 to $500 in March.
This means minimum production In
the current quarter of o. 700 cars, a new
three months record. The previous rec
ord was made In the second quarter Of
1927, when 22,305 automobiles were
turned out The great increase in the
volume Of business being done by the
factory may be realized when 1t said
that in the first quarter OF last year
only II 900 cars were produced as againsS
%, 700 scheduled for the current quarter,
an increase Of considerably moro than
100 per cent.
I'm 1921 only two quantity producing
automobile plants showed an increase IN
the number of cars sold over the pre-
vious year Studebaker ran % per cent
ahead, while the industry, as a whole,
exclusive OF one car, ran 40 per cent
behind. To my mind these figures prove
beyond a doubt that Stakeholder is in
for record year in 1922"

PAST and PRESENT
Of THE ICE TRADE
Ice Once Brought by Flatboats Now
Manufactured Almost at
Our Door.

Ice manufactured artifcally and
brought daily to our doors contrasts
strangely with times within the Nom
ory OF many persons yet living 1ce
now one of the necessities Of everv
household was in early days of Baton
Rouge luxury enjoyed by the well
to 90 only and beyond the reach Of
the lower classes. 1t may be stated
as fact many persons of this parish
arrived at the age of maturity without
having ever drank a glass of ice
cooled water as people in years agone
relied upon jug lowered in a we'll
for drinking water, more or less COOL
to satisfy thirst.
In early day and up to about 1850
New England ice brought to New Or
leans on ships and thence by steam
boat to Baton Rouge and other river
towns in limited quantity was the only
method OF obtaining the CONCEALED
fuld. Those who could afford it had
ice shipped to them in large iron bound
casks, but the masses were forced to
depend upon the jug and we'll.
Sometime during the early "fifties'
a Mr.. W. D. Mann established per-
manent ice business in a two-story
brick building near the foot of Main
street which he had filled annually
during winter months with ice brought
down from the upper rivers on fiat
boats. To store this ice was a diff
cult and laborious undertaking as it
had to be taken from the boats and
slid to the ice depot. To get the
huge blocks of ice to the store house
necessitated the construction of long
trough-like runway and then the rig
ging Of block and tackle arrange
ment and horse to operate the ma
ehinery. When the stored ice reached
height beyond the strength Of lab
Orers to handle a derrick was called
into action and the place filled to the
roof. This was years supply and if
it gave out the jug and we'll was
again the only means Of obtaining
cool drink. There is as much ice con-
sumed in two days now as in the en-
tire season Of former days and in
stead of being forced to 60 to the ice
house plant for your daily supply it
is now delivered at your door.
During seasons of much illness in
the community particularly when Wis.,
tied by yellow feve: and the supply
was at a low ebb only the sick would
be furnished with ice.

Pearson and myself were left on the

Pearson noticed large leather trunk
one corner of which was broken and
silver coin Of small denomination
sifted through the break. There was
perhaps a full quart measure of the
coin on the floor of the wharf when
we discovered it. "Oh, young fellow,

THE WOMAN CITIZEN.
What is Child Labor?

An authority on child welfare de-
scribes Child Labor" as "the EN-
ployment of any child under IS a
any task, with or without pay, under
direction or independently, which de-
prives the child Of the proper meas
ure of schooling, recreation, an(
healthy development"
A certain amount of work is goot
for every child. 1t builds character
and courage, and makes him able te
meet life with stamina. Skill in lab
or comes only through labor, ant
enough of this to gain practice is val
liable. Some work makes every
body appreciate what is done for him
gives him sympathy with other work
ers, and keeps him poised and balanc,
ed.
1t is the too-great labor, the too
continuous, the too-hard, or too-de-
pressing labor which wears the spirit
out of children. And the interfering
labor which cuts into their revelop
ment. That is "child labor" techni
cally, which conflicts with the vel
understood rights of childhood to
grow normally and to fit himself for

gradually the consumption grew with

ana 1t was not until methods for the
manufacture of the artificial product
was introduced that it became a ne
cessi1y and not luxury or that re-
Arlgerator or ice boxes were gener-
ally introduced into households. The
price OF ice was two cents per pound
ana 1t must be said Of the dealer that
no advantage was taken of consumers
When stocks were low or when epi-
denies prevailed.
upon the introduction of the pro-
cess OF manufacturing artificial ice a
local company was formed with Mr..
"eick as manager, machinery secured
and ice made in limited quantities
but lack of knowledge On the part of
those charged with the operation of a
plant of that description failed to
make OF the venture a marked sue
cess. Nevertheless ice was more gen.
orally used than under former meth
DDS and consumption grew rapidly.
1t was until Anheuser Busch
brought out the local company, intro
duced improved machinery and en-
larged the establishment that ice was
placed within the reach of all by
largely increased production and by
lowering the price. Since then ice
has been abundantly supplied families
in every portion Of the town and SO
universal has its use become that a
failure to receive ones daily supply
would be a most unbearable hard

Many persons don't understand how
water is congealed to become ice in
sultry weather but the following
shorn Of technicalities tells in a few
words what was learned by a visit
to our local factory:
Scientists tell US that were it not
for the heat of the sun this world OF
ours would be a huge ball of ice.
Now the art of making artificial ice
consists of extracting this heat from
water, the agent in general use being
anhydrous ammonia, received in Ill
1uid form, and expanded through
miles of piping, which piping, togeth-
,r with cans or mo!ds holding the
distilled water, are immersed in brine
anks. which brine is kept constantly

After gathering up the neat from

again expanded through the coils in

,ess is continued throughout the sea-

she was side issue and an after
thought" declared Mrs. Edgar B.

in an address delivered before the bien-
NAL convention of state presidents at
Chautauqua, n Y, on June II.
"The 10th century ushered IN the
women's vote but not the women in

among those present in the Garden OF
Eden and has walked down through
the ages of history an ordinary wo-

methods with the changing times. 1t
was ordinary women's curiosity that
made Eve taste the apple, but we must
admit that it was political expediency
that prompted her to share it with
Adam so that man and woman should
go out of the garden together to set
up that first kingdom on earth--a

the ordinary woman from the time OF
Eve down to the present, sketching in

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Uncle
Sans watchdog of the treasury" is
going home. Brighten. Charles G.

United States government, is packing
his grips and will go back to his bank
ing business in Chicago. The man
who won nationwide renown as a
"cusser" when he appeared as wit
ness before house committee is sat
ished that he has the budget system
well oiled and in running order.
President Harding has announced
that Maj.-Gen. Herbert M. Lord, fl

will succeed the Chicago banker. Gen.
Lord is called facts and figures

known that Gen. Lord would become
the new budget director, said that eX-
penditures of the government for the
fiscal year 1922 would be $1,750000,00O
less than for the fiscal year 1921. This
amount, it was asserted, indicates a
saving of $100000,000 more than has
