There has been quite a deal of complaint to come to us from, citizens throughout the parish upon the conditions of the roads this winter, and particularly since the snow. The highways maintained by the State have not been given the attention they deserved; in fact, the gravel roads are in worse shape than. we have ever seen them, despite the fact thatVhe Highway Commission has millions more now than ever befo.

However, it is the parish, or local roads, which h.ave gone out of commission completely. The mail carriers aftid the school busses have been forced to take out on several occasions. There are some roads which have gone so completely ou of commission that the school vans have not been able to get over them with any kind of regularity. Wagons have been called into service get the children out to the main highways in some instances. The Beacon-News does not know what the police jury can do about it.

The finances of this board may be so depleted that it finds itself powerless to give relief. However, we have been asked to bring the matter to their attention just before the regular monthly session next Tuesday and urge them to take x.itt Mf.nroe. I Jan. 1. 1930.

Here is offered a splendid opportunity to any ambitious man or woman to own a farm and build a home and become independent. This land is all situated near Rayville and where a crop failure would be a curiosity, being thus far unknown. The terms are so liberal that anyone with just ordinary energy and business ability enough to work and pay off an obligation may soon be the proud possessor of some of the best dirt in the world.

They can make the land pay for itself and give you a living and fair return at the same time. No trouble should be experienced by the Mengel Company in disposing of this valuable land to thrifty farmers who are seeking just such a golden opportunity for a start in life and a chance to earn a home and a farm. The Beacon-News takes pleasure in directing all those interested to Mr. H. C.

In Louisiana there is every prospect that the $200,000,000 agricultural income of 1928 will be surpassed by the figures for 1929 when they are all in. Our cotton crop is one of the largest on record, and brought good average prices, and corn, hay, oats, and other miscellaneous crops were harvested in average quantities. The main disappointment for the year was in the case of fruits and vegetables where unseasonal weather for some crops and low prices for others, served to reduce the income from this source.

Great advance was made, however, in the livestock end, for cattle and hog raisers found good markets throughout most of the year, more cream and butter was produced this year than ever before, and poultry and eggs had a of having a full attendance. Each Circle leader is hoping to see their members all present and ready for a new year of work. W-e cordially extend an invitation to all Methodist ladies in our town to come join and work with us.

Coupe Is Changed "The coupe, too, will be entirely new in design. It will have a lower roof line.

French roof quarters will emphasize the low effect and the long lines of the new moulding treatment.

Brown was in the game only eight Advertising and Utilities The lowest priced commodities of any kind, whether shoes, automobiles or gas and electric service, are those which are most advertised, says W. H. Hodge of the Byllesby Company.

Utility advertising has brought important facts concerning the industry before the American people, and has helped provide them with an understanding of utility problems and operating conditions. And it has helped, as well, in creating a tremendous demand for gas and electricity with the result that our utilities are able to provide better service at lower rates. Possibly one of the most absurd statements ever made is that utilities purchase advertising in newspapers in order to influence editorial opinion. Such an attitude is a grave reflection on every American editor. And it is likewise a serious criticism, unfounded in fact, of the great utilities which have made every effort to aid the industrial, agricultural and domestic progress of the nation.

At the present time but 0.6 per cent of the total revenues of the gas industry, and but 0.68 per cent of the electric, are used for advertising. It is doubtful if any other industry of great size advertises so little. In the opinion of many authorities a great deal more should be spent in utility advertising in order to give the public a thorough grasp of the operation of the gas and electric industries.

Morgan Right Torrencc spiers P.ichaid Right Tack; The railroads' contribution to national prosperity and progress is not so much the number of people they employ or the amount of their payroll, as it is the quantity and quality of service provided and the cost of such service to the public. Nothing is more essential to the public welfare and national progress than a well-ordered system of transportation.

Economic and convenient distribution of products embracing the primary markets of a continent insure the producer against the adverse effect of restricted demand and the consumer against the adverse effect of restricted supply. This means that by eliminating the expense and waste of primitive distribution0 the producer receives more and the consumer pays less. Measured in volume and distance hauled, the tonnage of the United States now probably exceeds that of all the rest of the world combined. The most important fact is that it is handled by the highest paid Kbo'r at the lowest cost of any country in the world. Not by increasing rates, for rates in many instances have been reduced, but by increasing their efficiency, the railroads have kept abreast of the growing requirements of convenience and so improved the service as to quality, quantity and acceleration that distance between producer and consumer is no longer a factor in the merchandising of any commodity, perishable or otherwise.

Cantaloupe, lettuce and other perishable products are placed on the breakfast tables of New York as fresh as when taken from the fields of the Pacific slope 3,000 miles distant. That is what makes for prosperity and for the public welfare, and to the extent that the railroads can further effect economics of operation and improve the service by increased efficiency, to that extent may they make additional contributions to the nation's prosperity and progress.
