Memo on Grain Is Not Enough

The noted case OF Henry Graz
mer OF Clara City, Mimi, against
the Northwestern Elevator COM
pany, of Minneapolis. has been
decided against the defendant.
There is involved in this case a
question ofvital interest to the
grain trade and to every north
western farmer-the right OF q
country elevator manager to is
sue receipts for grain in form
other than that prescribed by
statute and the regulations OF
the railroad ann warehouse COM
mission and the binding power
of such receipts or memoranda
upon the elevator company.
The case was bitterly fought in
June, 1901, was lost by the de-
PENDANT, went before the Mime
sofa supreme court, was sent
back for retrial, and came up
again last month at Granite
Falls. Fifteen or more rough
slips bearing memoranda in
numbers and signed by j. Kelly,
agent Of the Northwestern Ele-
vator company, but without
date or other marks of definite
ness, made up the principal ex-
hibit. The court; decided that
such receipts are not binding up
on the elevator company and
are not collectable.-Ex.

that does not bring happiness i.
only success in name. AS a mat
ter OF fact, it is the worst kind O
failure. The world presents nc
sadder picture than that Of the
man who has achieved wealth
position and power, and yet
whose heart is thirsting, starv
ing and dying for sympathy anG
love. No man can possess these
; things, unless he has contributed
} to the happiness OF Others. The
man who is unhappy himself can
not make Others happy, in the
true sense of the word. TO be
! happy ourselves, we must sub.
due our passions. Malice, envy,
iealousness, covetOusness and
many kindred passions are alb.
solutely inconsistent with happi-
ness. These passions never
brought happiness to Others, or
made a friend worth having.
Reasoning from the known to
the unknown let us go a step
further. AS a matter OF pure
knowledge, we do not know any
thing more about where we are
going after death than we do as
to where we came from before
birth. But we do know that
when we were born into this
world everything was prepared
for our reception. In other
words, we were ushered into a
condition suitable to our exist
ence. From this we have the
right to believe, as a matter Of
philosophy, that after death we
will 60 to place prepared for
our reception. In other words,
we will be ushered into a condi-
ton suitable to our existence.
Who can imagine the dismal
horrors Of the place prepared for
those who allowed the brute to
predominant the spiritual during
their lives on this earth? Think
OF the darkness and misery Of
the conditions which are suit
able to the existence OF such per-
sons. Those considerations are
in strict harmony with the wis
dom OF philosophers, and are,
therefore, worthy Of the most
serious attention.
| But let us turn to a more
pleasant view. The man who
has learned to subdue his pas
+, sions, not only looks upon man
as his brother, but recognizes
the ever present and ever ruling
power and goodness OF God. He
lives not only for self, but also
for Others; not only for time, but
also for eternity. While he takes
good care of his body. he be-
lieves that his true life, his high
est destiny lies in his spiritual
existence. Such a man may be
poor in pocket, his body may be
bent with burden bearing, his
speech may be rough, but he
carries in his heart a never fail,
ing spring OF happiness, which
not only brings peace and Joy to
his own soul, but carries it to
the lives of others. Such a man
is benefactor to his race. When
he dies it can truthfully be said
of him: ''He lived to bless man.
kind" A king can not earn a
better epitaph. Imagination can
not conceive, neither can tongue
nor pen describe, the beauties
and splendors and Joy OF the
place which is prepared for those
who have earned this epitaph.
My friend, strive to be worthy OF
this reward. It will pay you
better than anything else in this
life, for it will bring you happi-
ness here and it will be your best
guarantee, from . human stand
point, OF happiness in the life to
come.

tenants of the school land in the
first ward the attention of the
Board was called to the fact
that certain Francois ThibO-
deaux has erected or caused to
be erected dam across a
natural drain, running through
his property and also through
the section of school land situated
north of ThibOdeaux's land. The
dam Obstructs the free flow of
the water in this NATURAL drain
or valley and the result is that
the school section is overfowed
at every heavy rain and that the
crops of a large area of the Sec
ton are permanently injured as
a result of being flooded. In
addition to flooding the crops
school land nearly one-half mile
of the public road is covered
with water varying in depth
from q feet at the deepest place
to few inches at the foot of a
small elevation about a half mile
from the lowest portion of the
basin. In view of the fact that
the school land referred to is
extremely fertile, yielding bale
of cotton to the acre in dry
seasons and in view of the
further fact that the roads re-
ferred to is practically impass-
able on account of lack of drain
age, the board appointed Messrs.
DelhOmme, Moss and Alleman a
committee to wait upon the
Police Jury at its next regular
meeting and request. the imme-
diate removal of the dam re-
ferred to as the present flooded
condition of the school land and
road involves a loss of many
hundred dollars to the Board
which could otherwise be profit
ably spent for the education of
the children of the parish.
On motion duly seconded the
president appointed a committee
of three, Messrs. Moss Del
hOmme and Alleman to ask the
Police Jury for an advance ap-
preparation of $1,000. The Jury
stated that they would not COM
ply with the request on account
of lack of funds.
A committee of citizens from
Broussard petitioned the Board
for an additional room to accom-
modate the increased attendance
at the Broussard school. Lack
of funds prevented the Board
from complying with this reas-
enable request.
The committee from Brous-
sard, for which Mr.. Geo. Mala-
garie was spokesman, stated
that BrOussard was determined
to have first class school and
that the citizens were willing to
contribute literally to that end.
There are 10 citizens who con-
template subscribing $3.50 each
in order to raise an amount
sufficient to employ a specialist to
teach the children of Broussard
in branches to be added to the
present course. The board ex-
pressed itself as pleased at this
additional proof of the fact that
the citizens of Broussard fully
appreciate the true value of
education by voluntarily taxing
themselves in order to obtain a
better and more efficient school
where their children can be
prepared for life and for college
Lat home.

Scho0I-Report of
Treasurer.
Lafayette, La, July Z, 100


A regular meeting of the
Parish School Board was held
on the above date and the fol-
lowing members answered roll
call: A. Olivier, President; Alex
Delhomme Sr., Jasper Spell.
DR.. N. P. Moss, A. D. Verot.
Mr.. Alleman was authorized
to look into the matter of secur-
ing offers from citizens for a
permanent site for the Milton
School.
After a suspension of the rules
a committee of twenty citizens
from the Bonin school petitioned
for a comfortable school. house.
They stated that there were
fifty-two children enrolled and
that the dimensions of the
school-house are IA 80 feet with
Ct feet ceiling, making the
school-hOuse an oven. The
Board assured the gentlemen
that the situation at the BONN
school is fully appreciated, but
that unfortunately nothing could
be done at present. Action
would be taken on the petition
as soon as possible.
A committee of citizens from
CarencrO requested the reap
pointment of Miss SWEET and
Mr.. Young.
The Board answered that the
appointments for the coming
session would be made by the
next Board.
Mr.. Davis, of Duson, reminded
the Board that the citizens of
the town had subscribed money
which had been turned over to
the Parish Treasurer and that
q school house had been pro-
missed the community, but that
owing to the inability to procure
q site for the proposed building
nothing could be done heretofore.
Now the act of sale for a suitable
tract of land had been passed
and recorded and no barrier is
in the way.
A committee of citizens from
Brouss"rd appeared and argued
in favor of locating the BrOus-
sard schOol-house on the Breaux
tract. After hearing and con-
sidering six different PROPOSE
ti0ns the Board, on motion of
Mr.. Spell, voted to accept the
proposition made by Mr.. Breaux
to-wit: In exchange for the two
certain lots in the town of
Broussard on which the old
tanners Alliance Hall is now
situated and which were ac-
quired by the Board from the
Fanner's Alliance of that town,
he, Mr.. Breaux, would give IA
certain lots pointed out to a
committee of citizens appointed
by the Board at a previous meet
ing to examine into all sites
offered, and to make recon.
mendations.
President Olivier was author
lied to sign the acts of sale or
exchange for the Board. In
order to defray the cost of re.
moving the school-house now in
use to the new site acquired
from Mr.; Breaux. the Board
authorized President Olivier to
sell the old school house and LOT

kill. The reason is that germs are
vegetables; and Liquozone--like an
excess of oXygen-is deadly to vegetal
matter.
There lies the great value of Liquo-
zone. 1t is the only way known to kill
germs in the body without killing the
tissues, too. ANY drug that kills germs
is a poison. and it cannot be taken in
ternally. Medicine is almost helpless
in any germ disease. 1t is this fact
that gives Liquozcne its worth to
humanity. And that worth is so great
that, after testing the product for two
years, through physicians and hos
pitfalls, we paid 100000 for the Amer
lean rights.

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to help Nature overcome
the germs, and such results are indi-
rect and uncertain. Liquozone attacks
the germs, wherever they are. And
when the germs which cause a disease
are destroyed, the disease must end,
and forever. That is inevitable.
