BATON ROUGE, La, October 10
The State government slipped into the
hands of Louisiana's political dictator,
Senator Huey p. Long, yesterday with
the departure Of Gov. o. K. Allen on
health-seeking trip and with the an
nounced intention of the acting Gov
ernor, Lieut.. Gov John B. Fournet, to
stay at his home at Lake Charles.
The 'KingfiSh" who clothed the
Governors office with dictatorial pow
ers at the recent special legislative
session, has been busying himself with
State affairs since he came here last
Saturday for the L. S. U.-Auburn foot
ball game. Issuing orders to State off,
cials, holding conferences in the Gov
ernor's ONCE and generally comporting
himself as State executive, he needed
only the absence of the Governor to
complete the absoluteness Of his reign
In the capital.
The Senator Governor Dictator
Kingfish took the day of yesterday to
visit the Washington Parish Fair at
Franklinton and make an address on
proposed constitutional amendments
he is sponsoring.
Long let it be known that Gov. Allen
Is "a sick man" and would be gone,
wherever he had gone, about month.
It was somebody's guess the chief
executive was at Hot Spring, Ark, or
Mineral Wells, Tex.

Pumpkin Scarcity
Threatens to Dim
Halloween Fetes
Frederick County and
Eastern Shore Crop
Small.

A bad year for pumpkins, folks, and
Halloween's Just around the corner.
The farmers hereabouts, down on
Eastern Shore and up Frederick Coun-
ty way, allow as how the crop is
something less than fair to middling.
Pumpkins most generally grow as
big as washtubs In Frederick County
They get ripe and yellow in october
and there are tall tales that they have
to be propped with fence posts to
keep them from rolling down the
mountains.
Back in '28 Frederick raised such
big pumpkins two of them sold for
SIS. They weighed $50 pounds apiece.
The hotel man who bought them for
jack o. lanterns had to take them out
of the lobby. They scared customers
away.
This year, though, pumpkins are q
third as big and twice as scarce. A
market dealer sent buyer all along
the Eastern shore and he came back
with less than half a carload.
This years biggest pumpkins are
selling for $50.
