J. FOSTER JONES, Sheriff rorSore orTTred to The traditional "news butch" is the latest to feel the march of progress on railway passenger trains. Alter juiy 1st, according to J. V. Lamgan, passenger traffic manager of the Illinois Central System, the sale of magazines, newspapers, candv, soft drinks and the like will be under the ment.

The new order will be effec tive on all principal trains of this railroad. "Modernization of train travel," said Mr. Lanigan, "by the installation of free pillows, drinking cups, towels, low-priced meals and so forth, has made great inroads into the news ven dor's income. While we regret to see this colorful figure pass, we believe that his going is another evidence of the progressive policies of the rail- roads."

Showers to fall Wednesday afternoon, followed by a general downpour Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

These rains came in time to save the cotton crop, which was beginning to suffer and was not growing, but too late to save all of the early corn. The old corn on old farms was badly damaged, some practically burned beyond the help of the rain. However, on strong land much of the old corn, though greatly lessened already in yield, may make as much as a half crop since the refreshing showers. New ground corn was holding up fairly well to the time of the rain, and should make a good yield now with plenty of moisture in the soil. A number of farmers propose to cut the old corn which was "fired" beyond reclamation, and use it for feed, it being declared as good as hay.

The wind storms which accompanied the rains in some sections did considerable damage, not only in the Mangham and Archibald sections where houses were blown away and people killed and injured, but in other parts of the parish where there were steady blows not of cyclonic proportions. Much corn was blown clown on the ground and considerable damage otherwise from wind and torrential rains. The condition of the soil, with plenty of moisture, will encourage a number of farmers to plant late corn and other feed crops to compensate for the damage of the late drouth to early feed crops. It is not yet too late to raise plenty of feed, we are informed, if favorable weather is experienced from now on.

"YOUR RED AND GREEN FRONT GROCERY STORE" Selecting a trade or occupation today is a rather more serious matter than in years gone by, owing to the rapid changes in methods of manufacture and in the products demanded by the public. In hardly any line of manufacture does one know how soon some new method or process may render all his present skill useless as a means of gaining a livelihood.

Highly skilled hand craftsmen in many lines are continually being replaced by machinery, while products which were formerly in great demand are rapidly becoming obsolete, such as the buggy and other horse-drawn vehicles. Speaking from the manufacturer's standpoint, E. W. Mc-Cullough of the United States Chamber of Commerce said "I could enumerate a hundred lines of business this evolution has wiped out, and lines without number have changed in materials, construction and form." These changes have affected the individual workmen, as well as their employers, and never were changes made so rapidly as at present. Those who enter the mechanical trades must be prepared to adapt themselves to new conditions as they arise.

FRIDAY SATUR MONDAY On last Thursday night boxing funs of Rayville and vicinity were treated to a high class boxing card. The first bout of the evening was between Leo Allumus, 74 pounds, of Rayville, and Ferris Bennett, 72 pounds, also of Rayville. The match was interesting all the way through, with Allumus getting the decision. Roy Evans, 120, of Start, and Raymond Chadderdon, 117, of Rayville, finished the fastest fight of the evening. This match was a give and take affair for three rounds.

However, Chadderdon's experience proved too much for the Start boy, and the decision was awarded to Chadderdon. Felix Oswalt, 140 pounds, of Archibald, won by a decision in three rounds over Glenn Garrett, 155, of Rayville. This was an evenly matched bout, but Oswalt's speed enabled him to gain the most points. The main bout of the card was between Monroe McNaughton, 145 pounds, of Rayville, and Lee Booth, 150 pounds, of Archibald. McNaugii-ton's experienced left hand was a continual bother to Booth.

In spite of Booth's ability as a defensive fighter, he was unable to cover up from Mc-Naughton's continual pounding, and in the last of the fourth round Booth's seconds threw in the towel. The referees for the card were Herbert Sorey and Dorsey Speight. Both executed their duty well. Promoters W. H.

Eddins and W. D. Byrd promise another interesting and jam-up card for next week's matches. Final Enrollment For CCC Camps Begins 6th NEW ORLEANS, July 2. With 1176 Louisiana youths scheduled to be selected to enjoy camp life this summer, final enrollment for the Civilian Conservation Corps in the state will begin on July 6, it was announced today by James H.

Crutcher, state administrator of FERA. Applications are already being accepted at the offices of the Social Service Division of the FERA, in each city, and applications may be made at any time prior to July 6, at which time final selection of the youths and their assignment to camps will be made. Selection of enrollees in Louisiana cities wil be made on the following dates: New Orleans, July 6th; Ham-' mond, July 7th; Baton Rouge, July 8th; Lafayette, July 9th; Lake Charles, July 10th; Alexandria. July 11th; Shreveport, July 13th; Monroe, July 14th; New Orleans, July 15th. i All junior enrollees will be selected by the Social Service Division of the FERA.

with World War Veterans to be enrolled separately in camps of their own. Enrollment of the veterans I will be handled through the Veterans' Bureau. i Of the 1176 junior enrollees to be ac- I cepted in Louisiana, 931 will be white and 245 colored. Unmarried men between the ages of 17 and 28, inclusive, who have de- pendents upon public relief rolls or who are in need of public relief, will be eligible. Thus any youth whose family is now receiving relief through the department of Public Welfare, or a member of whose family is on a WPA project as relief assignment is eligible for selection.

Former enrollees of CCC camps who were discharged prior to October 21, 1933, are eligible for reselection, provided they have an honorable discharge. Former enrollees honorably discharged later than October 21, 1933, are eligible for reselection, provided they have had not less than four months consecutive service. Most of the men accepted for enrollment will be sent to camps in Louisi ana, Mr. Crutcher said, although a few i may be sent to camps in nearby states, Each youth receives $30 per month while in camp, in addition to board and clothing. Each must allot $25 of this pay to their dependents, retaining $5 per month for spending money.

In each camp there is a competent educational advisor, and the youths are given opportunities to pursue their studies along lines which will most help them in securing employment upon their discharge. All camps have facilities for recreation, and great stress is laid upon health-building activities. While the camps are under the supervision of the United States Army, they are not military and there is no military instruction. The War Department aids in selection of the boys, outfits them with clothing and equipment, and supervises their physical conditioning, and is responsible for the operation of the camps, providing for housing, subsistence, sanitation, medical care and leisure time activity, including educational activities. Work projects are under the direction of the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture, and the boys are assigned to work in preventing soil erosion, preventing forest fires and similar tasks.

In the work project, there is a close cooperation between the federal bureaus operating the camps and the State Forestry Service. Work in some of the Louisiana camps is under the supervision of the Forestry Service, the CCC youths working to improve state and federal parks, to prevent erosion, and to aid growth and prevent destruction by building fire-breaks and clear forests. The present enrollment for CCC camps from Louisiana is approximately 7,000. The quota to be enrolled during July is to fill vacancies left by departures from the camps. Many of the youths' who have left CCC camps during the past few months have done so to accept private employment.

In announcing enrollment of 1,176 youths to be taken from Louisiana, Mr. Crutcher stressed that applications must be made at the FERA office before July 6th. On that date final selection will be made from applications made earlier. The FERA office will accept applications at once, and at any time between now and selection date.

H. W. Free, Archibald farmer and father of Aaron Tree and Mrs. Bradford, who was at the bedside of his relatives here last night, said that his and little daughter, Maude Ellen Free, aged 5, had gone to the Bradford home ju.st before the tornado struck to get a pair of boots. Free himself had just finished feeding his stock and had gone to the nearby home of a son, Lige Free, preparatory to dipping some cattle.

"While I was at my son's home we saw the cloud forming over in the direction of Mangham and come swooping towards us," Free said. "My son, his wife and baby and myself then started running to my house and I had just got inside when I felt the tornado strike. "I didn't see my neighbors' homes torn down, it was done so quickly, but I saw the demolished homes of three of my neighbors, Otis Bradshaw, Ance Keen and George Bradford, immediately afterwards. "I was one of the first persons to rush to the aid of the injured and the first person I saw was my daughter, Mrs. Bradford, lifting the body of her little son, Charles, from the wreckage of their home.

A portion of the brick chimney had fallen on the child, killing him almost instantly. Mr. Bradford was found 25 yards from the house, lying injured in the mud, and my own little son and daughter were found about 60 yards from the house. My little daughter was not hurt. The Bradfords, my two children and Lottie Lee Peterson were all in the kitchen of the Bradford home when the tornado hit.

"Mrs. Bradford told me that the roof was torn from the house first and went spinning up into the air, the fierce wind twisting and breaking it up like kindling. Not a moment later the walls of the house were wrenched loose and scattered about. "The h'omes of Ance Keen and Otis Bradshaw were just as badly damaged as the Bradford residence. Ance Keen was holding his little son, Percy, in his arms, when the tornado swooped down upon his home.

Keen was badly bruised and his little boy's arm was broken. "The tornado just missed my house, but didn't skip my place altogether. The roof was blown off a new barn I had just built and off my horse stable. A neighbor told me later that two of my yearlings had been killed. "It's hard to describe just how it all happened, it happened so suddenly, and a person just has to be in a tornado to get any idea at all about its terror," Free concluded.

FIFTEEN PERSONS HUKT AT DARNELL, DARNELL, July 2. Fifteen persons, six whites and nine negroes, were slightly injured and four homes demolished by a tornado that struck this small West Carroll parish community at 7:30 a. m. Thursday. The storm, preceded and followed by a downpour of rain, lasted about three minutes.

The injured white persons are: Mrs. Earl Holliday, Mrs. A. A. Flannagan, Mrs.

Martha Owens, Bobby Ray Owens, 5 years old, and Jerry Owens, three years old. Besides demolishing the four houses, the storm unroofed a number of others, uprooted innumerable trees and did slight damage to crops in this area. The tornado cut a path 200 yards wide and three-quarters of a mile long through Darnell. No estimate of the damage was made, although it was known that it would amount to several thousand dollars. The home of Mrs.

Iva K. Bain was splintered by the wind, but Mrs. Bain and her daughter, Barbara Jane, were at the home of friends, where they had spent the night, when the tornado struck. The residence of Mrs. Flannagan was leveled by the force of the storm and its roof picked up and deposited on the Bain home.

Another home destroyed was that of Marvin Linkenfelter. However, its occupants, Mr. and Mrs. Linkenfelter and small child, seeing the approach of the storm, escaped injury by crawling under a bed before the structure was blown down. The tornado came from the southwest and vanished into the northeast.

It was believed to be the same one that struck at Mangham and Archibald, in Richland parish. LATER STORM NEWS Mrs. J. G. McCormick, who suffered a severe laceration of the arm, "has had the misfortune to lose this member, we are informed.

An amputation was performed at a Vicksburg sanitarium. Several transfusions have been given this estimable lady, and a number of friends froiri Mangham have gone to Vicksburg to offer their blood. Several were found to type. Mrs. Carlton Underwood, -who was thought only slightly injured, suffered a collapse the day following the storm, and is reported in a state of coma as we go to press.

Mrs. Underwood is now believed to be seriously injured. She and her child were carried with a part of their residence to the premises of M. D. McConnell, next door neighbor, and were taken out from under the debris after the storm had passed.

There is an unconfirmed report as we go to press that Mr. George Bradford, father of the two children who were killed in the storm, had also died in a Monroe sanitarium.

One promulgated by Thomas Jefferson held that the federal government cannot control the industrial affairs within the state or exercise any authority beyond that delegated by the constitution.

The other theory of government was promulgated by Alexander Hamilton, who contended that a strong central government having control over all states was the desirable type. It is contended that under the former type that people have a larger liberty, and there is less likelihood that radical or autocratic powers in control at Washington can upset local state government.
