stav at home, and it is likely there
will be nearly ten thousand OF us.
We will also tell the man to note
down several other changes since his
last visit, namely:
Lafayette has widened its streets;
paved it's sidewalks: enlarged its
municipal electric light and water
plant: quit building its stores and
principal buildings of wood, using
brick and concrete blocks instead:
taxed itself two mills for ten years
as a bonus to the State for locating
the Southwestern Louisiana Industrial
Institute here: issued 800, 900 for two
new school building, improved equip
ment and buildings for the municipal
power plant and a city hall: built a
three-story brick hotel, two new banks,
a brick opera house, with a capacity
of near one thousand, about twenty
five other new business houses and
about two hundred and fifty new

AGRICULTURE in THE SCHOOLS

In view of the fact that the
teaching of agriculture in the
public schools is being generally
advocated. in fact in some
parishes it is being attempted in
a small way, the address of
DR.. S. A. Knapp, OF Lake
Charles, special agent in charge
of the farmers cooperative and
demonstration work, before the
Press Association is very timely.
DR.. Knapp agrees that agricul-
ture should be taught in the
schools. indeed claims it should
be taught, and that instruction
should be on how to increase the
Weld Under this head, he says,
is involved the intricate prob
lens of the soil, the composition,
the mechanical condition, vege-
table matter, drainage, relative
moisture, temperature, rainfall
and it's conservation, cover crops.
soil renovation, use OF com
mercial fertilizers. green ma
nures, animal excreta and farm
waste, the depth and the fire.
quency the soil should be STIR
red, and the conditions in which
it should not be stirred. etc.
And this instruction he con-
tended should be by object
lessons given by a competent
teacher.
To properly teach the subject
as outlined by DR.. Knapp will
evidently require instructors
with special knowledge of the
subject, and that is his idea,
But owing to limited means few
if any school boards could carry
out his scheme entirely. How
ever, that should not prevent the
introduction of agriculture ir
the schools. While trained
teachers are not available, at thu
same time some rudimentary
knowledge may be given tn
child. by object lessons o
course, and this in itself will
awaken interest in the subjec
until it will eventually win il
favor of the public until finall.
agriculture will be given tn
. position in the school curriculum
of all farming populations tina
it deserves.

What Lafayette Has Done.
Louisiana School Review.
ST .af IN voffo was nnco a small Acadia,

Lafayette was once q small Acadian
village named Vermilionville. 1t
once had very few people, but more
came. Even the few it had did not
say much about it, but let things to be
inferred. Some inferred that it would
eve be q great town and some in
ferred that it would; the latter were
correct. Thus we see that Lafayette
is like New Orleans, Chicago and
New York; that is it was once quite
small and afterwards grew larger.
It is also q good deal like Boston
in one particular; its streets were
developed by the posteriori method.
In these days of restless Impotence
and the encroachment of science upon
nature, the streets of a village are all
planned out in advance-which is a
priori method, but in Boston and
vermilionville man paid more respect
to natural law, by waiting till the
cows had beaten q path to and from
their grazing places and then adopting
these paths for the lines of future
streets, thus avoiding what Emerson
called the violence of direction, and
substituting for harsh. inartistic
straight lines, q graceful Curvature
like that of q river.
"A census was taken by the Govern
ment in 1900 and only 1914 people
were at home. There vas . big ex-
cursion to New iberia that day and
several thousand Lafayette people
rel left out Of the count in Lafayette

Large Diamond Imports.

The total import of gems at the port
of New York last year was over $43,-
100000, which is the highest mark
reached in the history of the country.
In 1905 the import was only $37 900,
900 and in 1904 but s26, 900, 900. From
this statement 1t will be seen that the
demend for precious stones is i.
stantly on the increase, and in this
latter respect 1t might be compared to
the ever increasing demand for Hos.

FOR Tre DINING Don
Nation Plate Rail is Effective Form OF
Decoration.


Nothing adds SO much to the appear
ance of a dining room as a rail up
near the top on which is displayed odd
bits of china, cut or fancy glass, or
pewter.
These plate rails may be made very
decorative or they can be absolutely
hideoLs. A tumble of color, for in
stance, is downright ugly, or, a rail
full of china that does not harmonize
with the tone of the room, though the
separate pieces may not clash.
This defect can be overcome this
season by choosing for your decora-
ton a nation plate rail. It will be both
artistic and inexpensive, or, at least,
comparatively SO, as the separate
plates a be bought for SO cents ana
less.
Each plate has the coal of arms of
a different nation of the world, as
nearly as possible in the natural col
ors.
There are, of course, liberties taken
with them for artistic effect, but the
chief color of the frieze Is in these
emblems.
The whole thing is given a touch of
harmony by the border which Is alike
on all the plates. 1t is two tones of
olive green frightened by dashes of
red at regular intervals.
This treatment of q plate rail would
be specially good for a yellow room or
one In dull gray blue, as there is
enough red and bright green In the
coats OF arms to give warmth.

Practically all the railroads of the

This fact alone furnishes conclusive

un~warranted by anything connected
with business conditions, while there
