ROOSEVELT WELCOMED
President Given the Glad Hand on His
Arrival at Washington from
Sycamore Hill.

Washington, Oct. thousands of
mis- fellow citizens turned out to well
Tome President Roosevelt to the ma
tional capital, and made his home COM
ing an occasion for an ovation from
the time he was sighted on the plat
form of his car until he passed within
the doors of the White House. There
was no band of music, but the cheers
OF the assembled people made the air
ring with "hurrahs" as his carriage
passed slowly up the avenue. The
president was deeply touched by the
welcome and especially by its spon-
taneity.
Before leaving the station the presi-
dent shook hands with the engineer Of
lis train. From there to the White
House the streets We're lined with
cheering people. and for the last block
or two the president stood in his car
riage, hat off, bowling to the plaudits
slowercd on him. Mrs. Roosevelt was
radiant with pleasure.
The presidents sendoff at Oyster
Bay was equally hearty. The town
was gay with bunting and business
was suspended. while everybody was
OH the street cheering the nations ex-
ccutive. At the station was COM
pany of young girls in white who sang

City Council.

An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held last Monday even
ing, for the consideration Of some
matters that were left over from the
regular meeting.
The matter of veneering the build.
ing at the rear of w. N. Boynton's
store was referred to the building
committee, with power to act. The
Hollister Lumber Co. was allowed a
bill for materials in the sum of $3l3.-
81, and also the bill of Victor Col
lard for $500.
The principal business considered
was the hearing of petitions from
property owners as to the manner in
which the paving contract was COM
piled with by the contractor, NJ. Ford.
At the outset; City Attorney Norris
explained the position Of the city in
the matter. He said that if the con
tractor has failed to carry out his
contract that the city stands ready
to cooperate with the property own
ers in seeing that the work is done
in accordance with the contract be-
fore it is accepted and paid for by
the city. For the benefit of the
property owners present, the con-
tract was read. Objections were
made to the various items by j. E.
Davis, VIM. and Geo. Barr and Hugh
Clemans. A suggestion was made
by w. II. Hutchinson that the paw
ing was not laid to grade. and that
a variance of from six to nine inches
between the established grade and
the paving as laid. 1t was explained
that this was made necessary in
order to connect the paving laid
this year with that laid last year
without making a step or pro-
nounced incline in the street. Mr..
Hutchinson complained that in rails
ing the grade Of the street in front
of his property, his lot would, if he
raised his BERNIE to conform with the
street grade, slope toward his house
and water would run into his cellar
windows. Further Directing, the
property owners said that the re-
quired amount Of crushed rock was
not used, that the sand was not
flushed in, that the two inch sand
cushion was not rolled, and the
broken brick were not discarded as
required by the specifications. The
discussion between the property
owners and the council continued
until late hour, and all seemed to
be of one mind on the proposition
that if the contractor has violated
his contract he must be compelled
to make it good. That he shall not
be paid until it is made good, but
that when the contract is complied
with or if the work is now completed
according to contract, it shall be
paid for according to the contract
between the city and Mr.. Ford.

How We Farm Rice in Southwest
Louisiana.

Twenty years ago one Maurice
Bryne, a Delaware county farmer,
moved to Jennings taking his family,
and among his farming Implements
a Irvine binding harvester. which,
with little alteration was used sue
cessfully in rice harvesting. This
was revolution, as rice had always
been harvested (since Adam) with a
sickle then threshed with club.
Using machinery made it possible
to grow 100 acres as easily as one
before, and more rice meant more
water. as rice must now be grown on
hard, dry, solid, clay loan, upon a
hard pan subsoil to hold water, and
use heavy machinery and teams
when water is turned off. Then
these farmers. largely from Iowa,
(wheat farmers) conceived the idea
of farming rice on Louisiana prairies
as they farmed wheat on the Iowa
prairies, and now with 1000 miles
of canals, 1000 deep wells for flood
ing, and crude oil for power, and
with 1000 harvesters, 800 threshers
and more than 60 rice mills for pre-
pairing rice for market, they are
using more machine and less hand
labor than other farmers. And with
what result? An industry that less
than twenty years ago was measured
by one hundred thousand dollars, is
to-day twenty millions of dollars.
But You ask, what are the profits
compared with wheat farming?
Before answering, it is said that
comparisons are sometimes odious.
We have no such intent. In Iowa,
wheat farming has been changed to
stock farming which is better, and
to be fair our comparison will be
with the better system of farming as
followed now. Visiting modern

methods and estimated results. The

Prehistoric peoples were wan
derers and travellers. They evil
IDENTIFY wanted to 60 somewhere
and perfected the use OF paths and
began the use of roads. They
caught and trained all the beasts
OF burden, they clearly knew some
thing of bridge building, they
understood in a crude way the art
of steering by the aid Of the stars,
and how to use the wind to fill
their sails and to use an oar to
steer their boats. They invented
in their narrow language all the
terms used in the transportation OF
their time. They made paths and
the paths made them. Travel
widened their ideas, gave them
new outlOoks on life, stimulated
trade, invention and discovery,
brought distant tribes and peoples
together, and made for peace.
Paths, the river, and the sea we're
the great teachers Of the early
men, and transportation laid the
foundation stones OF civilization.
