Repuhliran Observers at the canitol
who have been making 2 study OF the
political situation confess that ordi-
narv standards Of political values are
aIl awrv this year. Copditions are
such that issues which may be rro-

honest confidence amonr the repuhh-
cans that the party will elect ma
iority in the next House, which Demo
Gratis are unwilling to conccde. how

to make VIGOROUS campaign. They
concede that their present majority OF

of some amount.
Upon one thing hownvC%. there IS
general agreement. and that is on the
unpopularitv of Congress. Recent

FORD RETAIL SALES
MAKE NEW RECORD

Retail sales of Ford cars. trucks
and tractors established a new high
record during June, when. according
to statement issued from this Ford
factory at Detroit, an average Of
5.709 machines were sold daily.
Ford sales have been showing n
constant increase each month this
year; June being the highest In the
history OF the company, with to.
tai of 1iS,439 cars, trucks and trac-
tors. or this number. 6.O5i we're sold
by the Ford company of Canada and
e.i35 by the various European Ford
companies and South American
branches. reaching purchasers In
practically every civilized country In
the world.
With the closing OF business for
June. Ford records disclosed the fact
that total sales for the first six
months OF 1922 were well over the
half-million mark. the exact figures
being G52.261. This is also new
high record as 1t is considerably In
advance of any previous half.year
period
July Ford sales nre expected to
equal. and probably eclipse June
The estimated output OF cars. trucks
and tractors has been placed ut 15i..
767. although dealers have requisi.
toned more than 100000.
Ford officials state that every at
tempt has been made to supply their
dealers with sufficient cars to fiji
their orders. hut that for the pas,
three months prompt deliveries have
been impossible with some OF tho
types. The demand for Ford enclosed
ears has been especially hard to
meet. due to the everincreasing pop
ularlty OF the Coupe and Sedan for
all.yoar.around use.
A reflection OF general buslness
conditions is seen In the record OF
Ford truck sales. which show an In.
crease .of eighty.four percent over
last year. Merchants and farmers
alike have come to recognize tha util.
Ity OF The motor truck In cutting
transportation costs and speeding up
deliveries, and tho fact that they ara
buying noarly twice as many now as

CLAIMS PRINTING WEEKLY
 SERIAL FROM THE BIBLE IS A SUCCESSFUL FEATURE

TOPEKA, Kans., July 26.-Is print ing the Bible a good newspaper fea- ture? Will the average person read the Bible if published in this way?
 After printing a weekly serial from the Bible for three months, Arthur J. Carruth, managing editor of the To- peka State Journal, declares that the publication of the Bible has proved to be the greatest success of any feature ever printed by the State Journal. Moreover it is being read by many subscribers as faithfully as would be the installments of a popular novel, Carruth states.
 The publication of the Bible serial ly has had a marvellous effect" said MT. Carruth. "It has shown that the subscribers are sincere in their de- mand for reading matter of relig- ious character, and also has shown to the public that the newspapers do not print only the sensational, that they do not attempt to appeal primarily to the masses and that they do not neglect the church"
 As an indication of the interest taken in the publication of the Bible, MT. Carruth stated he has received in uuiries from every state in the nation, many letters from Canada and a num- Der of communications from foreign countries. A number of Kansas news papers have taken up the publication of the Bible since the Journal started it, MT. Carruth stated He said out of about sixty ministers in Topeka, he has received communications from all and that in only two or three cases had they criticized the publication.
 The publication of the Bible was un- dertaken by the State Journal at the suggestion of Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, of Topeka, editor of the Christian Herald and we'll known author. Each installment includes about 5000 words. The Weymouth text of the New Testa- ment, a translation in everyday Eng fish, is used. Already publication of the Book of Mark has been completed the Book of Luke is we'll under way.

HISTORIC STAGE COACH MAKES
 TRIP OVER OLD WEST HIGHWAYS

A hole in the canvas above the rear seat had evidently made it un- comfortable for the passengers, night air of the Black Hills crept in, and the drivers had obliged their patrons by stopping at homestead in the hills and borrowing a burlap sack to re- pair the hole in the canvas. In tear ing this loose in the repairing of the seat it was discovered that the bur lap bore the name of one "J. D. Will iams," who, inquiry reveals, was a homesteader near Rapid City, s. D., in the late eighties.
 SCHEDULE SHEET FOUND
 Although it cannot be ascertained who drove the stage into Sheridan, a slit in the upholstering of the driv- er's seat revealed several schedule sheets that were used to check ex- press and passengers carried and pro- vide a record of trip, and whether the driver was forgetful and never remem- bered where he placed his schedules he hid them well, and, although dimmed with the ravages of time, some of the writing is still legibile and gives an interesting sidelight on the express rates in vogue forty-two years ago.
 A violin was one of the articles of express shown on the schedule, and it cost fifty cents to carry it from Custer to Sheridan.
 In, 1880 Sheridan was only a clus- ter of ca bins in Wyoming's vast ter ritory. Near the junction of Little and Big Goose creeks nestled in the sheltered foothills of the Big Horn Mountains, few squatters had erect ed cabins and were making plans for the days when surveyor might come through and lay out townsite. LEFT IN LOG HUT
 It was here that some family, eith' CT more enterprising than the others or more optimistic of the settlements ! future, had erected a sign, Hotel and Bar" over a rude clapboard and log structure adjoining their cabin, and here the drivers of the old stage left it forty-two years ago.
 When it left Sheridan it bade fare well to Sheridan Inn, a modern hotel structure erected by the late Buffalo Bill a few years before his death From the hilltop east of the city its drivers looked back in the valley at a beautiful mountain town of 13,000 in habitants. Between tall trees white i lines in checkerboard fashion indicated miles of paved streets, upon which motor cars speed and along which are ] hundreds of beautiful residences.

DEATH OF FRANK J. LADNER.
Native and Former Sheriff of Han
cock County Passes Away at His
Home in New Orleans Tues
day Morning.

The announcement that Frank J.
Ladner had died in New Orleans
shortly after II o'clock Tuesday
morning was received here with
much surprise and the intelligence
carried much sorrow. While Mr..
Ladner was not known to be i'll, yet
l. was a fact that he had not been
well for quite a while, and was fire.
auently indisposed from time to
time.
He passed away at his home IN
Danneei street, uhere he had lived
two years since he moved away from
his home in Waveland,
Frank J. Ladner was a son of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Francois Ladner,
a native of Bay St. Louis, aged sc
years. He is survived by his wife,
nee Lizzie A Orchard, who he mar
ried some ten or twelve years since,
and several brothers, in addition to
many other relatives.
The funeral took place Wednes-
day morning from from the late
residence and from the church of
Our Lady of Lourdes, where a re-
QUEEN mass was held; interment at
Metairie Cemetery. He was de-
vout Catholic all his life; member
of quite a number of organizations
of the church and identified with
other societies.
No man was better known in Han
cock county. Up to two years since
when he moved to New Orleans
he had been a resident of the county
all his life. Although moved away,
he sill kept his citizenship here. His
wide acquaintance over the county
carried much, for he was universal
ly esteemed by all who knew him.
lie served as sheriff for one term,
and this he did with unusual ability
and distinction. Prior to this he was
identified with the mercantile busi-
ness. AS land owner in this coun-
ty his holdings were considerable.
By thrift and intelligent application
he amassed a fair competence.
His passing away is generally re-
gretted. He was one of natures no.
blemen, a true friend; conslderate
and true to every precept that makes
the citizen and friend ideal.

THE RADIO CRAZE.

Possibly never before has any,
thing spread over this country as
rapidly as the ''radio craze, with
which papers and magazines, big and
little, are now filled.
In local territory the New Orleans
TimesPicayune station, WAAB, has
stimulated the local interest to an ex-
tent that is appreciable, and that en-
terprising journal is to be commend
ed for its progressiveness.
At a first glance Bay ST. Louis peo-
pie are apt to mistake this talk as
merely passing fad. But our ad-
vice to them is not to do so. If the
boy is interested and wants to learn
more about radio, give him the op-
portunity. Too many successful ex-
periments have already been made
with the wireless system of telegraphy
and wireless telephony to put it in
the fad class. Today messages are
being broadcasted into every section
of this land without the use of wires.
Just as they have for several years
been sent for hundreds of miles
across the water from one ship to
another, and from ships to stations
on the land. Of rourse, radio tele-
phones have not been perfected. It
took years to perfect the steam en-
gine, the auto and the airplane, and
place them beyond the experimental
stage. But today they are practical,
and we'd find it mighty dull living
in this land if We didn't have them.
We freely predict that the time will
come when radio telephones will be
in the farm houses of this country,
when daily weather and crop report
bulletins and news events will be
filling the air and bringing the peo-
pie of rural sections into closer
touch with the outside world than
any other agency. 1t may be in the
fad stage now, but radio is going to
be one of the biggest things this
world has ever stumbled upon before
the experiments proceed much far.

Mauffray's car Wednesday morning,
when it returned from trip to Ham
mond. La, and back with a party of
five other gentlemen, who had gone
to that city and vicinity to investi-
gate the strawberry industry with a
a view of introducing it to Bay St.
Louis and vicinity.
The party left Monday morning at
an early hour, fully equipped. From
here they travelled TO Picayune, in
tending to go through Bogalusa, La,
but upon being told that the high riv-
er water would not permit of going
through it was necessary to detour
by way of Columbia, Miss, where the
gravel pike-fnest of roads in the
c0untry-Was reached, and extended
all the way into Hammond and be-
yond; and proved a marvellous road in
construction and result. Going
through the model and attractive city
of Tylertown, and then through Chat
tawa, Osyka, Natalbany the ultimate
destination of the party was reached
at about 4 o'clock.
The next morning at about 10 o.
clock the trip was resumed by way of
Madisonville, Covington, Slidell, In
dian Village. Here the ferry Wednes-
day morning carried the party to Log
town, from which place the run was
made home.
At Natalbany Monday afternoon the
party stopped and visited Mr.. Eearl
Davis, farmer Bay st. Louis resi-
dent, who is assistant chief of the
big lumber .company's commissary
located there.
At Hammond the party met many
of the good citizens there and most
cordial reception extended on every
side. The same at Covington and at
Slidell the party was captured by our
former toWnsman, Joseph Pravata,
who entertained the guests at splen-
did dinner at his hospitable and invlt-
ing home. At night the guests were
entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. c. l..
Baker, the latter a sister of DR.. ker-
gosien's.
The trip was one of many pleasant
incidents, long to be remembered.
The roads are ideal; at times the au-
to running at high speed seemingly
at so miles an hour with ease and
comfort. The counties traversed were
Hancock, Pearl River, Marion, Wal
thai Several parishes were traversed
in Louisiana.
Mr. Mauffray made an ideal host
with his handsome Buick ''six' and his
princely personality added consider
ably to the trip. The other gentle
men were A. A. Kergosien, S. F.
O'Neal, A. Scafde, George R. Rea and
C. G. Moreau. We regret space does
not permit a more extensive write-up
of this trip, with its many interesting
incidents.
