successful play Human Hearts" with
a company Of superior excellence aad
strength. The author Of the play Is an
actor Of wide experience and fully under
stands the art OF play-makins from the
standpoint of both the spectator and the
actor. His effects are produced quickly, but
none the less does he hold patent sway
over the passions Of his auditors.
The play is almost too we'll known to
require more than a passing word upon
the plot. The main thread Of the story
centres around Tom Logan. who is un-.
justly accused Of murder. and sentenced
to life imprisonment His wife Jeanette,
who is a proud ambitious woman, runs
away with an old lover. and goes to New
York Even in a woman degraded as sho
is, the instinct Of motherhood prompts
her TO return 10 the old home to try 20
gain possession of her child Grace. She
is frustrated in her design, and new evil
dence being submitted to the Governor of
the State, he pardons Tom out Of Sail
Jeanette dies, her paramour is arrested
FOR the murder of TOMS father, and Tom
marries Ruth Larkins. and the clouds Of
adversity are dispelled by the sweet sun
shine OF a true woman's love.

Plant and Animal Life.

Startling is the discovery that Il fun
damentaf' distinction between animal
and vegetable structure does not exist
at all. 1t has been held by all scien-
lists until recently that~each vegetable
cell unit is boxed up in a ease" of
cellulOSe. Animal cells are not so i'm
prisoned. but freely communicate with
one another. Now the botanist and the
zoolOgist learn with amaZement Of the
continuity of the protoplasm through
the walls Of the vegetable cells by
means of connecting canals and
threads. This may seem no startling
discovery to those who are unfamiliar
with the foundation ideas of biology.
AS matter Of fact, says Professor
Ray Lancaster. this new development
is not less epoch making than the dis
cOvery of the circulation of the blood.
If man has been totally misled regard
ing the distinction to be drawn be-
tween animal life and vegetable life,
if the cell is essentially the same factor
in the growth of both, it follows that
the plant is Il form Of ANIMAL or rather
that the animal is Il moving plant

THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

The Terrebonne Times: Not the least
difficult part of the negro question is the
white mans. If all the white men could
be made to do right, it would not be so
hard to manage the negro. Let us get
that truth very firmly fixed in our
minds 1t will help us very greatly in
solving the negro question, so far as we
of this generation are able to solve it..
What we mean is this: Stop the white
man from filling the negro with mean
whiskey: stop the white man from steal
ing from the negro through so-calle1
loans and exorbitant interest :~stop the
white man from over charging the ne
gro at the stores; stop the white man
from brutal treatment of negro labor
ers: stop the white man from immoral
relations with negro women and you
will have gone far toward solving the
negro problem.

propriates $4,000 for resisting the
fights made by the railroads on the

has been passed by the house and now
goes TO the governor. AS it is one of

John of Jefferson county said in dis
cussing bill that the money is neces-
sary: that the people had to ask the
consent of a Federal Judge before they
could enforce laws enacted by the leg

ticn of the right of the people to gov
ern themselves the money should be
given ard the fight made to the last

NORTH LOUISIANA EXPERT
MENT STATION.

Thursday, July Is, was big day at
the Experiment Station. 1t was the reg
ular monthly meeting of the North
Louisiana Agricultural Society with a
programme of great interest, The sub
ject discussed was How shall we make
the home attractive and why?'
At II o'clock the bell was rung, ard
the crowd gathered in the big cool pa
vilon On the wall, back of the stage,
were tasteful decorations of grain, with
big ears of red and yellow corn-tlc
fruits of the earth. arrayed most arts
tically
The meeting was opened by t:le pres
ident of the society. Mr.. NesSton Camp,
Familiarity known as Uncle Newt. He
spoke of the Importance of the subject
for discussion. saying that III his opin-
ion, it required more thought and con-
sideration than the planting of cotton,
which indeed is true
The first speaker was Prof. Hester,
He emphasized the Importance of beau-
tifying the home of making it more at
tractive than the town, SO that the boys
and girls would be conent to stay. Hap
py, attractive homes and good schools
will make good community, were the
thoughts of this excellent address Prof
Byrd's talk was along the educative
lines of the home, from the kitchen to
the parlor He traced the refining inflr-
illustrating his remarks by anecdote and
personal experience. He spoke OF the
work of the schools and of their mission
for the home, especially true of the In
dustral School. where domestic science
and manual training for girls and boys
are taught Prof. Byrd was frequently
applauded and requested to go on. y
At the close of his admirable talk,
discussions followed, Mr.. Sutton of Cal
houn and Mr.. Brewer of Arcadia par
ticipating.
One of the most potent influences in
making the home attractive, said Mr..
Brewer, is to make it happy home; let
there be sympathy. love and considera-
tion-these will count for more than all
the adornments and costly expenditures.
Mrs. Matte H Williams of Shreve-
port was then announced Her address
was we'll delivered and received with
marked attention She spoke OF the
strong claims of the home, the life Of
the home, its attractlveness, lasting in
huence. and of the advantage of the
country home over the town: the drear
mess OF most villages. and country rail-
way stations, and the citizens duty in

How We Shall Make Our Homes At
tractive land Why" Delivered at the
Calhoun Experiment Station July 2s

Mans first home on earth was gar
den. In that primeval verdure, fresh
from the Creators hand everything was
beautiful, crystal springs, opaline at
mosphere, fruits and flowers, birds of
beauty. heaven all about-everywhere
l love to think that every living thing
in the cool spaces of that first garden
was beautiful-aninals docile, birds, in
sects and bees sstingless; flowers and
fruits fragrant and delicious-man sim
less.
A change cane-rnan went forth to
bear his burdens and pay the penalty Of
his sin. He began to build, to mark the
earth with an ak: much of which was
good, much bad Aid so it has gone on
through all the ages. While mans ener-
gy and intelligence, i'll many instances,
hae made the wilderness to blossom as
the rose; his ignorance and unthrift, his
greed and gain, on the other hand, have
laid waste fair sections of the earth.
| The destruction of forests, neglect of
! streams, are avenged by nature with Wis
itations of drouths and floods. But the
floods sweep by and are gone; the sky
is blue, birds sing and the heart is lifted
in praise to God that He has given man
home in this great, wide, beautiful
world And it is the home we are to
discuss today: How Shall We Make 1t
Attractive. and Why? Never has so
much intelligent effort been put forth
for home and public improvements as
now. We are truly in the midst of a
great civic awakening. There are leagues
and Improvement associations for the
promotion of beauty and clearly living
in all parts of our land. Our discussion
today will be confined to the improve
ment of the village-the country home.
| For years social economists have ex-
pressed the fear that the end of another

population living in towns; that men
would go to their farms in the morning,
returning in the evening. Grave conse-
quences would result should this come
to pass Let us see if we can not find the
reason for this drift of population to the
towns and how to prevent it. 1t seems
to me it is the unattractiveness, the
