(7-17-3tW) RAPIDES RAISED FEEDS CHAMBER OF COMMIRCE URGES ITS USE BY HOME PEOPLE. The Alexandria Chamber of Commerce is bringing to the attention of the farmers, merchants, liverymen and feeders and all citizens, the fact that they should ask their dealers for "Louisiana Grown Oats.

Hay and Corn." They set forth the fact that livestock like it best, and that the government experts say that this oat crop is as good as the best for your livestock. Louisiana farmers are marketing five hundred thousand bushels of red oats this year. Hay and corn growers will soon be selling. The following appeal is made by the Chamber of Commerce of Alexandria: "Rapides Parish has raised twelve hundred acres of oats this year, sixty thousand bushels, has added $30,000 in one year to the value of its farm crops. Think of that, people.

Now you don't have to go out of town to buy oats, you don't have to send up You can buy them right here at north or even to Texas to buy Why not do it? Why not encourage this splendid new farming industry which has such a good start this year. "Another thing, these oats run considerably over in weight, too. The standard weight for a bushel of oats is thirty-two pounds, and the average weight of Rapides produced oats runs thirty-four to thirty-five pounds while have run as high as forty-three pounds. It is up to you Mr. Consumer or Mr.

Merchant to patronize home industry, and when you have shown that you get more than is coming to you in over weight by buying home raised products, you haven't an argument to bring against it. Help Louisiana, help Rapides Parish, and incidentally help yourself, and specify Louisiana Red Rust-Proof, grown in Rapides Parish, when you want oats." ALEXADRIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. WOODWORTH, LA, July doors of Mr. and Mrs. C.

A. Dunnam were thrown open in honor of their brother, Mr. Will Herren, from "Mab," on the evening of the 11th of July, and a great host of friends gathered to welcome him to Woodworth Camps again. The refreshments served were cream, cake and fruit. Mr.

ITEMS FROM BAYOU RAPIDES. July good soaking rains, we are having the warmest weather of the season. Crops of all kinds are doing fine, but cotton as a rule is rather small for the time of the year. Boll weevils are in evidence and together with the low price, it is anything but encouraging. More grain and live and less cotton is the only solution I see for the cotton belt.

Several agricultural stations have kept correct account of the cost of making cotton and the average cost is around 10c per pound, and just as long as we and sell for less than cost of production, we will get poorer each year. The oat crop in this community was good, but the acreage was very small. Spring potatoes were very short, and the price poor. Quite a lot of potatoes are being held in this settlement because of no market. Corn crops are very promising.

R. A. CHURCH WINDOW IN MEMORY OF MRS. R. C.

JARREAU. (From Thursday's Daily.) The window by Mr. R. C. Jarreau in memory of his departed wife was put in place this morning in Mt.

Olivet Church, Pineville. The window is a very beautiful one, and adds much to the appearance of the chancel, where it is placed. This position was selected for the reason that this window is the nearest one in this church to the tomb of Mrs. Jarreau, which is only a few feet away in the Mt. Olivet cemetery.

In the top of the window, encircled by a laurel wreath, rests a dove on outspread wings, shedding forth brilliant rays of holy light upon a large ruby opalescent cross that fills the center of the window. The cross rests in a bed of luxuriantly blooming lilies, the whole of these being on a background of sunkis't green. To complete the picture there is a border of the Passion flower and vine, representing the Passion of Our Lord, the border being of the prevailing color, blends all into a harmonious unit, so beautiful that the picture, with its lesson, remains in one's vivid impression long after mindye has turned to other scenes. It is altogether a beautiful window, and a fitting memorial to this noble little Christian woman. This generous gift puts us one step nearer the completion of the dear littie church, around which so many fond recollections center.

By constantly reminding the worSpirit, it will be a great influence for shipers, of the outpouring of Holy good to all who pause to consider its loveliness. The inscription plate at the bottom of the window bears these words: "In 'loving memory of Elizabeth B. Jarreau, born May 2, 1873. Entered Life Eternal April 16, 1915." X.

and Mrs. Hagh Durham Total Loss. (From Wednesday's Daily.) Fire late vesterday afternoon destroyed one house and damaged three others in the block bounded by Ninth, Tenth, Johnston and Washington streets. The houses were the property of Mr. John Shevnin, and were partially covered by insurance.

The house which was almost totally destroyed was at the corner of Ninth and Johnston streets, and was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Durham and their mother. The attic of the house was in a full blaze when fire was discovered. and before the alarm was turned in, the house was doomed.

However, companies Nos. 1 and 2 and Chief Neff reached the scene, and by heroic work saved the frame of the house and prevented serious damage to the other houses in the neighborhood The entire contents of the house belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Durham was destroyed. They had no insurance on their furniture or belongings.

Mrs. Durham and her mother and baby were sitting on the front gallery oblivious of the fact the entire attic was on fire and that the flames were already making their way down into several of the bed rooms and the kitchen. Mrs. Hugh Durham went back to her room and on opening the door the flames dashed into her face. She screamed "fire," and her mother ran in to see what the trouble was and found that the flames had also eaten their way through the ceiling into the kitchen and into another bed room.

They gave the alarm, and ran out of the house with what clothes they had on, and did not save another thing. This house was valued at about $1200 and the contents at about $700. Mr. Shevnin carried insurance on all of his property. The house at 913 Johnston street, occupied by E.

Highland, was damaged about $25, and the house 1106 Ninth street, occupied by J. G. Brannen was damaged about $15. The next house, at 1126 Ninth, occupied by C. A.

Bordelon, was damaged by sparks about $10. Sparks flew over into the next block to a house, 1221 Tenth street, occupied by John Jackson, and damaged it about $10. This was also the property of Mr. Shevnin. The total damage was about $2,000 and the total insurance involved was about $9,900.

There was a report that Mrs. Durham's baby was in one of the rooms and came near being burned alive. Mrs. Durham states today that this was not the case, as she had the baby with her on the front gallery, as they were getting ready to fumigate the rooms on account of mosquitoes. The fire is not attributed to the fumigation, but to a defective flue.

It is thought that the fire was burning in the attic around the kitchen flue for several hours or from the time that dinner was cooked. The room which was being fumigated was a front room opening on the gallery where the ladies were sitting. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Durham and mother are sympathizing with them over their loss.

Everything they had was burned, and they carried no insurance. Mr. Durham is at present serving as a brakeman on the extra board of the Iron Mountain road, and consequently is not employed all the time. ANOTHER CURE- -ALL. If you are feeling peeved and out of sorts, take a brisk walk; you will feel better.

If your brain is overburdened and your mind is sluggish, get in motion again; for your legs are good doctors. A brisk walk exercises the dormant muscles, stimulates the circulation of the blood and brightens the mind. It is good for good people and better for bad ones. It is all to the good. -Brenham Banner-Press.

Thank you, doctor. But if we walk far, may we not see sights that will add to rather than take from our peevishness? Feeling all out of sorts one day recently; occasioned by the price of tomatoes at his favorite lunch counter-10c for three slices, while the price was 20c a crate at Jacksonville -feeling out of sorts on account of the price of tomatoes, State Press took a short walk for a tonic. And he hadn't gone two blocks until he saw a woman trying to board a canopied jitney without closing her parasol. "Shut it up, ma'am!" adjured S. P.

after she had made two assaults on the running board. "Shut up yourself!" she hurtled back at him. As there was nothing else for him to do but do as he was told, he did it. But his walk didn't cure his News. "DAMN MOLLYCODDLES." ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH.
