Seventy-nve extra clerks are helping to take care of the holiday rush.
 Christmas trees are here in quan- tity and selling from SC cents to $3.50 a tree. Christmase turkeys are not only plentiful but better than al Thanksgiving and selling from five to seven cents a pound cheaper than they sold at that time.

 The Mer Rouge kidnapping case, all the legal machinery of the state of Louisiana, originated, it is said E; result of a feud between rival, E tions of Morehouse Parish. - -----HA
 Although the Ku xlux kIan organ iZation of Louisiana Arkansas and Mississippi has been charged In some quarters with being involved in the mysterious disappearance of Major Watt Daniels and Thomas Fletcher Richards, citizens of Mer Rouge many citizens of Northeast Louisiana believe that the case goes much deeper than alleged Ku I<lux Klan an1mosity and is more or less racial ItValI1nS in many respects the cele- brated feuds of the Cumberland and Virginia.

Wallace Reid, who has charm ed millions of Americans with his pleasant movie smile is a victim of drugs. Should the motion pie lures be blamed for this? When a minister makes a mistake. a banker runs away or tax col lector disappears, nobody planes all the bankers, tax collectors and so on. In moving pictures 1t is a. bit different. There fs a question of percentage. In the movie business too many stars get into some sort of trouble. It is not a large population, but its amours, it's murders, and it's other sins of omission and commission keep the newspapers busy. One fears that there is an environ ment which isn't wholesome for young people. Will Hays will probably improve that environ ment before he gets through. It must be improved. or a great and useful business will suffer se- vere1y.
