FARMERS AND POLITICIANS

Ia H-E q
If the real farmers could only come to
understand that they are the principal
sufferers from the politicians a great ad-
vance woulf be made toward diminish
ing the curse of the average politics.
Politicians are the most expensive prod
ucts of this country. They cost more
than anything else in the raising, and
they are worth less than anything else
IN the using. They are responsible for
the horde of oficeholders, about six
5~offieeholders for every necessary job
that could be accomplished by COM
petent, whose salaries or fees keep the
pockets of the farmers in rnoth-aaten con-
dition or are the source of almost count
less streams of petty corruption, democrat
izing the whole body polite. In add
ton, they are responsible through legisla-
ton for the fastening upon the statute
books Of unnecessary, dangerous and
costly laws. There must be oficeholders
in this country, but at present they are a
curse to the country because Of their
numbers, their ihcapacity and
their virtual dishonesty Southern Farm

LETTER TO j. r.. pERRODIN

Dear Sir: If a customer wants $3.50
do you give him S75?
Suppose you should hear of one of your
customers doing a thing like that and
not knowing it, what would you say next
time he wants discount?
Well venture half your men are doing
that very thing without a suspicion.
Men who paint any other paint than
Devoe are paying SIS for $3.50 or some
other such figure.
10 gallons Devoe is enough for a good
size house two coats; Is Or 20 isn't TOO
much Of another paint. There's 1915 or
$3.50 for 5 or 10 extra gallons; besides
81 to 81 a gallon for putting it on; that's
$40 to $40. That's how half the houses
stores factories warehouses shops barns
fences are painted: $50 for paint and
labor; $25 to $50 more for not knowing
what paint to put-on.
The MI to put-on is the paint that
takes least gallons and makes least bills
for paint and labor. Yours truly,

WHY BE INCONSISTENT?

Every day in u travels and abroad
and around home, we hear scores of
such remarks as this: well, I believe
General Jastremski is the best man and
l would like to vote for him and to see
him elected Governor of Louisiana, but
he has no show and l don't want to lose
my vote" Who ever heard of such a
filmsy excuse for turning against a can
didate in every way worthy of your sup
port? We venture the, assertion, that
there are fully fifty thousand voters in
the State today who would like to see
Jastremski in the gubernatorial chair,
but who IRE using this silly argument
against hln. 7
If all of these voters who recognize in
Gen. Jastremski a leader worthy of their
support, would come out like men and
vote for him instead of sheltering them
selves behind such a cowardly argument,
then there would be no need of a second
primary, because he would be overwhelm-
ingiy elected.
Citizens of Louisiana, be consistent in
your arguments and actions, and do not
unwittingly injure the chances Of the
brave old Confederate soldier who did
not wait to ask if che cause was going to
be a success when he shouldered his mus
ket to go and fight for his State.-La-

RIDING %sTRADDLE

The following was sent us by a val

fish same, as the custom referred to has
been adopted by a number of equestrien-

vocate of the astride saddle for women.
A young lady from Waco asks the
Harpoon the following question: DO
you think it proper for a woman to ride
horseback astride?" Certainly I do.
When God Almighty made the horse, He
made him for the purpose of being ridden
by men and women. HTd he intended
that the man should ride astride and the

saddle ever made was manufactured to
fit a poor, crippled queen, and her ladies

astrlde, you are not only sensible, but
you are much safer than if you had your
anatomy tangled around a lot of sense
less saddlehorns and straps. If any
n don't like your style, ride ove them.
