take a position.
For the information of our readers,

request and through the cooperation Of
the Monroe Chamber of Commerce
that its President is the owner of a
number Of Business Colleges in other

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
IS DOUBTFUL

Il appears to be doubtful whether
or not the plan of. the Vernon Parish
School Board, to erect a 100000
building for the Leesville High School,
will be carried out in the near future.
The election which was to decide the
question of taxing the people Of the
city for the purpose of raising the re-
ouired fund, has not been held, the
commissioners who were appointed to
supervise the casting Of votes not hav-
ing made their appearance at the stat
ed time, and, so far. no other date has
been fixed for another election. This,
however, may be done by the Schoo
Board at its next regular meeting
which is to be held on June 2lst.

PROMISES TO BE LARGE

A large attendance is expected for
the summer session at the Louisiana
State University this year than ever
before, unless the high water conditions
prevent. according to Dean D. T. Pow

than that of the previous year.
The bulletin of the Louisiana State
University summer session will be off

FARMER HAS LOST
MONEY FOR TWO YEARS

Chicago, Ill. For more than two
years the American farmer has fallen
far short of cost Of production. leaving
all land charges out of consideration.
Unless there is a hurried change in the
situation. thousands will be forced to
suspend operations" ;"
This was the warning sounded by
the American Farm Bureau federation.
which characterized agriculture as the
nations biggest business"
In statement issued by the farm
bureau federation the following con-
tentions are made:
The American farmer to-day is a
business man more concerned in busi-
ness revival than any other interest.
No one else produces so much to sell, or
bcys so largely of other production is
does the farmer.
The construction and expansion be-
tween his primary production and ulti-
mate consumption is the barometer of
the nations business.
when either contracts or expands
unduly, the pointer indicates hard
times.
"Farmhs are manufacturers. In
field and feed lot and in sun and rain
they labor to produce. They produce
as their finished product that which in
many instances becomes the manufac-
turers raw product.
There factories are their farms. In
order to possess these farms and equip
them with the proper buildings, ma
chinery and live stosk. they must have
capital the same as the other industries
"A farm cannot be operated without
proper management and labor The
farmer himself is a manager.
! TO be successful he must possess a
fairly technical knowledge Of physics
chemistry. electricity. physiology, bot
any. marketing anil finance.
Like other manufacturers. farmers
lmust find markets for their products
and must have cost Of production plui
a reasonable return.
IF cost Of production is not forth
coming. the farmer is forced to max,
: inroads on his capital.
THE risks Of agriculture are create
than those Of manufacturing.
The farmer does not have fire pro
, lection and is subject to immense loss
j es from flood. drought. wind. hail an,
frost.
''In the Mississippi valley at the pre-
j sent time thousands Of acres of crop
S are inundated" "
These facts are indisputable, J. R
Howard. president Of the farm burea
: federation said. When farmers ar
/ forced to suspend operations ,tha
s means less feed and well, we all kno1
lwhat that means.

JUDGE DECIDES AGAINST
VERNON LAND BUYERS
LOng-BeII Farm Land Suits Lost By
Thirty-fOur Farmers

One Of the most important land suits
decided in Vernon Parish was handed
down last week BY Judge Thomas F.
Porter. Jr, in favor Of the Long-Btll
Farm Land Company.
Thirty-four of these suits, in which
the plaintiffs claimed to have been de-
frauded because Of misrepresentation
by the Land Company as to the fertil-
ity Of the soil they bought from them.
were consolidated for convenience Of
the plaintiffs, and were tried in the
Beauregard Parish. the Vernon suits
having been transferred to Beauregard
for trial.
Although the trial was held in Jam
uary, the decisitn was just handed
down this week, the great amount Of
testimony taking nearly two months to
transcribe.
Judge Porter based the decision in
favor Of the Long-BeII company upon
the facts that all the plaintiffs were
on the ground and had ample oppoT-
tunity to investigate the. character Of
the cut-over pine land. as to its fertil-
1ity and productiveness, and that each
purchaser relied upon his own judg-
ment in buying this land, and not upon
the representations Of the company s
representatives.
The total suits brought against this
company amounted to about $250,000
