The Elght-HOur Day.


The Commoner says: "rhere is
one argument In favor Of the eight
hour day that social economists
often overlook. Modern machinery
has increased output to degree
undreamed Of decade ago. The
result is that vast stocks of goods
are accumulated in certain sea-
sons, and then comes a season Of
industrial depression that lasts un-
Til these vast stocks are sold. The
shortening of the work day will
have the effectof providing employ
ment for more wage earners, and
to that extent lessening the liza.
biIity of lack of employment.
Labor unions are not advocating
the eight-hour day for the sole pur-
pose of securing shorter hours for
those who work; they are striving
to find employment for those who
have no hours to work"

Let us Have Canned Rice.

The Clarion thoroughly agrees
with the Signal in the views ex-
pressed in following article:
"The attention of the Rice Asso-
citation of America is respectfully
invited to new scheme to intro
duce rice proposed by the Lake
Charles American. Briefly explain
ed, tile scheme Is TO have rice put
up in tin cans up North and sent
down here to be sold by our grocers
at two bits for a two-pound can.
ssHere is scheme that meets
with our unqualified approval.
Any man can see at a glance that
it is practical aud there is every
reason to believe that it would be
bowling success from the start.
We buy car loads of canned toma-
toes put up In Maryland, although
this is better tomato country
than Maryland. There is no more
reason why we should buy Mary
land canned tomatoes than Mary
land canned rice. We pay two bits

heavy overalls in Kansas City,

Mutton Lambs.

Sheep receipts in Chicago during
April were the heaviest OF the year,
but the prices on mutton lambs.
held strong at SIS to $3.50 per 100
pounds. The tone OF the lamb
market has been 50 strong for the
past ninety days as to attract the
attention from wool sheep to strict
ly mutton breeds for lamb produc-
tion. Thousands OF Colorado
lambs have sold for $8. 10 this season
The South is overlooking the
Z early spring lamb IN her efforts to
grow spring Irish potatoes and
similar crops.
The spring lamb is a safer pro-
position for us. The market will
never be overstocked against us.
Now that we are developing the
art of diyersification, why not take
an intelligent step and grow spring
mutton lambs? Like the full bar
rel OF apples into which a bushe1
of sugar was poured without rum
ming 1t over, so 20 to so head OF
sheep may be kept on the average
farm OF this section and just fill in
between the cracks left by our
larger live stock and crop interests.
The small flock is the most profit
able. Sheep increase in numbers
wonderfully fast. Wool is at n
good price. While trying to live
at home, by raising bacon, poultry
and vegetables use some fresh NUT
ton instead of bacon. The man
who does will not be sorry Farm
and Ranch.

and there were many soldiers with
out any. An officer would consid-

Interested With Mr. KrOtz.

Mr.. G. C. Carnahan, of Chicago,
and Mr.. III. W. Huttig, of Musca-
tine, Iowa, after spending several
days in the city, have just about
consumated a deal whereby they
will become interested with Mr.. G.
w. Krotz In about 24, 900 acres OF
timber land in st. Landry parish
on the Atchafalaya River. They
will also become interested in other
properties OF Mr.. Krotz and Of the
Krotz Manufacturing Company, in-
cluding the large saw mill at Mel
vile, the mill railroad and Mel
vile vacant lots, on which it is in
tended to erect buildings.
Mr.. Carnahan visited the prop
erty a few days ago, and was great
" pleased with the country and
its resources.
"People in the north do not APP
preciate what Louisiana has. [
have frequently been down in Cata-
houla parish for duck shooting, but
never before on an industrial pro-
position, and / never realized the
immense opportunities here for de-
velopment,n said Mr.. Carnahan.
"In st. Landry parish there is as
pretty farm land as / ever saw.
The levee protects that country for
about seven miles below Melville.
This property runs six miles below
that, or thirteen miles below Mel
Vile. This leaves about six miles
of land unprotected from overflow
during high water, but / am as
sured by the levee engineers that
they will shortly begin on an ex-
tention of the levee.
aI'he land is heavily timbered
with cypress, white ash, cotton
wood, red gum, and some other
woods. Mr.. Krotz was boring for
oil in this land at a place estab-
lished and named Latannier. In
stead of finding oil he struck
valuable stream of mineral water.
A sample Of this water was recently
analyzed by City Chemist Metz,
who made most favorable report
on it. The water is OF very much
the same nature as the water at
Hot Springs, Ark.
sThe people all through that
country have already learned Of
the medical value OF the water, and
they come and carry it away every
day. lit seems to be especially good
for stomach and liver troubles.
While we intend to develop the
mineral water part Of it, and pos
sibly establish a health resort, that
is side issue. What we really
went in for is the timber land.
We think enough OF the town site
of Latannier to reserve half sec
tion of about three-hundred acres
for the purpose of establishing the
resort

The day of sudden growth of new
mining towns in the West is not
over, although it has been sup
posed that the region had been
pretty thoroughly prospected.
The latest wonder in this line is
Garfield, town in Nevada. Only
eighteen months ago the first tent
was pitched there; now the popu-
lation is said to be 5000 and in
creasing rapidly all the time. We
believe that the mineral found
there is gold, which is more apt to
cause rush of eager spectators
and miners than any other. II the
veins hold out in richness, Garfield
may become an important city.
It is easier to get to and to get
away from than the Alaskan
mines, and always there are thou
sands quick to rush to any place
where gold can be dug out Of the
earth. A good deal OF wealth In
gold can easily carried away when
it is found. But this new town
like many another, may have a
temporary prosperity, and be only
a memory five years hence.
