SAVE MONEY FOR FARMERS

Elaborate tests have been made at
many of the stations, particularly in
the East and the South. in order to
determine the value of the worthless
ness of soil fertilizers, says the Amer
lean Illustrated Magazine. While the
use OF bacteria for incubation may
ultimately do. away with all need of
fertilization, yet large amounts are
still spent upon commercial fertilizers,
and it will probably be some time be-
fore they shall be all abandoned. In
fact, something like $50,O00,000 is an
nually paid out by the farmers of the
United States for Fertilizers
It is unquestionably true that much
fraud has been practiced upon the
farmers in this direction. In New Jer-
sey the station showed the farmers
that by clubbing together and purchas-
ing the raw material of which the fer
tilizers are composed they could save
from Is to As per cent. The estimated
saving in cost to the farmers of the
state by this one feature alone is
from SIS, 900 to $1O0,O0O per year. This
station has also demonstrated the
special food needs of certain plants,
showing the farmer what particular

MACHINE TO STRETCH BODY

chine and thus submits his body to
whatever extreme of stretching he de-
sires, using the lever to apply more
power or relieve the strain at will.
The machine extends like a dining
table, from the middle both ways. and
by means of the straps around head
and feet the pressure is applied evenly
along the body.
The user submits himself to what
ever stretching force he wishes and
takes the exercise as often as he
pleases and for as long The best re-
suits have been attained when the
pressure is applied daily for periods
OF thirty minutes at time The idea
is that the patient shall have a ma

sufficient to bring results. Some per-

the war, but he became a confirmed

ployment and supported both for
years.

for years an employee of the treasury
department, with whom she lives.
Mrs. Gridley has saspension of $50
a month, granted her on account OF
her services as nurse during the civil
war. President Roosevelt has taken
personal interest in Mrs. Gridley,
and has recommended that congress
pass a bill increasing her pension to
500 month, which would enable her
to resign from office and take few
years rest.
The prize money to which Capt
Gridley was entitled as a result of the
captures in Manila bay, amounting to
nearly $4,000, Went, with the insur-
ance and pension, to his widow, who
resides in Erie, Pa. The latter also
received the insurance, ETC., after the
death of her son, the young lieutenant
who was killed on the Missouri.
Capt. Gridley's remains were Gre

AS TO JOINT STATEHOOD.

1t begins to look as if the ter
ritories of Arizona and New Mex
leo are to be spliced, whether the
inhabitants thereof wish it or not
1t is unlikely that the Senate will
show them any more consider
alton than the House did. There
is but one hope left. The people
of the proposed state can refuse
to rstify the constitution which,
of course. lets them out. That
partisanship of the rankest sort
has had great deal to do with
forcing joint statehood on Arr
iona and New Mexico is not to
be doubted. They have pleaded
with the Republicans in Congress
in vain. The Republicans saw a
chance of four Democratic SEN
ators being sent to Washington
instead of two. and they didn't
like the prospect. BY refusing to
ratify the constitution and the
provisions under which the two
territories are to be, admitted the
people of those territories can de-
feat the Republican scheme and
bide their time when, with the
Congress more evenly balanced,
they can obtain justice at the
hands of the Democratic party.
The Republicans are pinning
their faith on the "greasers" of
New Mexico, who are in the ma
jority, to ratify the joint statehood
program--Daily States.

DURHAM on ASSESSMENTS.

Assessor ]. T. Durham OF this
parish attended the Assessors
Convention held in Baton Rouge
at the instance of Governor
Blanchard. The Governor adj
dressed the convention and advo-
Gated assessing all property at its
full cash valuation and a reduc-
ton in the rate of taxation for
state, parochial and municipal
purposes. The Governors ideas
were endorsed by all of the as
SCISSORS, but they are of the opin-
ion that this is not the proper
time to put the Governors sug.
gestions into practice, for in many
parishes special taxes have been
voted in aid of railroads and fol
other purposes and these special
taxes could not be reached by
rate reduction as suggested by
the Governor.
Mr.. Durham said that he feels
the meeting will prove of great
benefit to the State as whole, as
it will have the effect of equalizins
taxes throughout the State. 1t
developed in the convention that
great difference exists in the
parishes, for instance, in some
parishes property is assessed as
low as thirty-three and one-third
per cent. of its real value, in some
parishes fifty per cent, some
sixty, while in Orleans the rate
averages seventy-five per cent.
Mr.. Durham thinks hereafter
property will be assessed on the
basis of fifty per cent. of its. real
value until such time as the
special taxes shall expire. and
even if this rate is made the basis
the rate of taxation Car
be reduced by the next Legis-
lature. He says further that
there are many objects of tax
alton which can not be reached
under the Revenue Law as it now
stands. but that the remedy lies
with the Legislature.

BANK ADVERTISING.

Until recently bankers looked
upon advertising as publicly in
spired by desire to favor the
newspaper with some patronage

conclusion that it pays to adver-
tise. being seldom taken into con.
sideration.
1t was not until lately that this
idea was replaced with the fore.
gone fact that bank advertising
when it is done intelligently, is
very profitable; and what has &C.
complished more than anything
else to force this change in opin.
ion was the increase in deposits
of the banks that advertised.
The advertising banks in one
state alone. during a period OF
FIVE years, gained Fl per cent. in
assets and % per cent. in depos.

Using lost FIVE per cent. in assets
and seven per cent. in deposits.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

If the legislature enacts a fair
primary law. the next campaign
for State officers will be an un-
usually exciting one. The adj
ministration will hardly be able
to name the next governor, as has
been done in the past.
The Blanchard and Foster fac.
tons are likely to be farther apart
then than they are now. General
Jastremski's following, probably
largely augmented, will stand by
their favorite, with the hope oil
securing the reforms in the party
and the enactme mt into law of the
demands made by them during
the last campaign. A fourth fac
ton, with a leader who is not al
lied in any way with the others
who wants a new deal all around
is talked OF, but as it will have to
stand for the same principles that
the Jastremski wing does in order
to get following, it is hardly
probable that it will gather much
strength.
One thing is certain. Machine
methods in the Democratic party
must go, and the excessive patron
age now in the power of the gov
ernor must be curtailed. These
things majority of the people o.
Louisiana want. and it is the con
census of opinion that they car
be best secured through an hon
est primary law and the election
by the people of all officers from
constable to governor-Mansheld

.cOOD ROADS OBJECT LESSON.

The Department of Agricul-
ture has assigned E. w. Sheets,
expert road builder, to build an
object lesson good road for Lafa-
yette parish, and Mr.. Sheets &C
companied by Civil Engineer F.
McC lure, is here and will begin
construction as soon as funds are
provided for payment for mater
ial and,ordinary labor. The serv-
ices of Messrs. Sheets and Nc
Clure will not cost the parish one
cent, nor will the services of any
other government employees who
may be detailed to assist in the
work. The amount of road that
will be built and the kind depends
upon the funds furnished for the
purpose. The funds should not
be lacking.
This is case where spending
money means saving money. Our
roads are q charge upon US every
year, a certain part of the parish
revenues must be applied to their
repair, and therefore any instruc-
tion that will enable US to spend
this money so that the largest re-
suits may be- obtained is we'll
worth while for us to seek, be-
cause knowing how to make the
best roads possible out of the ma
terial at hand, means better roads
for longer time and less money
for repair; 1t means less wear on
vehicles and strain on teams and
more saving IN shop bills and
corn bills; it means more conven-
fence for the country people and
more trade for the town, and last,
it means that good roads will get
to be better roads and finally in
the course of time to be the best
roads. Lafayette Advertiser.
