We have received handsomely en-
graved and printed booklet descriptive
of the summer normal school Of the
Louisiana State University, to be held
at Baton Rouge during the month OF
June. This is very attractive circu-
lar, but it bears the imprint OF Chi
cago-New York concern, showing that
the state institutions prefer to patron
izs foreign houses rather than spend
their funds, donated by the taxpayers,
here In Louisiana. Certainly this work
could have been done just IS we'll and
just as ehesply at home.
We hear q great deal, especially
from the higher educational institu-
tions, about developing our resources
and equipping the home folk for the
arts and sciences and higher ideals of
life. This IL theoretical. In actual
practice We find these same people
sending away from home for those
things which can be obtsined at their
very doors.
The directors Of this normal school
are not the exception; they are follow
ing in the footsteps Of thousands OF
others who preach the doctrine Of pa
tronizing home industries, but follow
the general practice OF sending away
from home for every article TREY can
possibly ger abroad with the least de-
gres uT Satisfaction.

An Experiment Of Tnnortance.

As result of investiga tions made
by the national department. OF agri-
culture, new and remunerative in
dustry may shortly be introduced into
Louisiana. John Fl. Tull, of Wash
ington, D. c., a special agent of the
department Of agriculture, recently
spent two days at Crowley in CONSUL
tation with John Green and J. F. Shoe
maker, both prominent rice planters
and mill men OF Acadia parish, and
made arrangements for them to plant
ON their farms for experimental pur-
poses the Japanese mating grass,
which 1t is believed can be successfully
grown in the rice belt of Louisiana.
All mating used in the United States,
valued at S., 000,0 a year, is made in
Japan from grasses grown in that
country and in China, and a manufac-
turer in Maine has invented process
whereby he can manufacture mating
much more eheaply than the Orientals,
but he is forced TO import his raw ma
terial from Japan. The duty on mat
ting is 3 cents per yard for that costing
less than 10 cents, and cents per yard
on that costing over 10 cents; and If
mating grasses can be successfully
grown in Louisiana, as the agricul-
tural department believes, home in
dustrv might be built up which is worth
s., 600, 600 a year, and is constantly
growing. At present, according to
Agent Tull, the United States buys
about 90 per cent of the Japanese out
put. Mating grass grows In water and
requires irrigation thesame as rice. It
grows three or four feet in height and
is planted by the japanese after their
rice is harvested. Inasmuch as the
Japanese government forbids the ex-
portation of the roots of this grass, it
became necessary for Mr.. Tull to dig
them at night himself while in Japan
and smuggle them out of the country.
If the experiments on the Green-shoe-
maker farms are successful, the cul-
sivation of this grass will no doubt be
extensively undertaken by the rice
farmers of southwest Louisiana.

Right here in Monroe we have BUSH
ness men who claim to be liberal and
progressive complaining about others
sending away for articles which could
be purchased here at home, and they
are eminensly correct in their condem-
nation OF such short-sfghted and illog-
ical practices. But too frequently, for
instance, these same individuals and
business firms are daily using sta
tionery and printed matter purchased
from some outside printing house.
They are not consistent. If they be-
stow their patronage upon some con-
Germ hundreds OF miles from home,
when the same material, grade of work
and price can be obtained at home,
why not accord others the same privi.
lege of sending off for their clothing,
hats, shoes, medicines, furniture, hard
ware, groceries, Injuries, feed, coal,
lumber and every article which enters
into the daily life OF any citizen? It
would be just as reasonable, just as
logical, just as honest as it is for any
man to send away for his printed mat
ter.
This is not the way to build up
city or develop its resources. Every
cent that can be expended in Monroe
should be spent with the people who.
are doing all In their power to build
UP and create q splendid city. The
price cuts no figure. We venture the
assertion that for the same quantity
and quality Of work, freights consid.
cred, Monroe printers land there are
three establishments here) can and do
give prices several shades lower than
foreign concerns. Suppose you who
are in the habit Of sending away for
your Office supplies try patroniztng
home industries, and be convinced.
In this connection we desire to es-
pecially commend the course of Hon.
E. N. Larche, president. of the West
Monroe State Bank, who in fitting up
the new institution purchased every
article needed, as far as possible, at
home, not only patronizing home print
ers, but buying here every other ar
ticle entering into the fixtures of q we'll
regulated bank. Certainly his course
is to be commended.
Take this little friendly sermon to
heart, study over it and see If we are
not right.-Monroe Star,

NEW ORLEANS LETTER.
Continued from First Page.

The White City, formerly known as
Athletic Park, opened for the summer
season last Saturday night. The
Olympia Opera Company, with Lottie
Kendall in the title role of 'sKismet, y
produced distinctly favorable inn
preston on the large and represent
alive audience that crowded the
theater. The outside attractions,
flowers and brilliant illuminations all
combine to make the White City an en-
ticing spot wherein to spend o snltry
summer evening.
The Orpheum theater closed rec
ord season last Sunday night.
McDonogh Day was ittingly cele-
brated by the public school children
of the city on Friday of last week, and
the statue of the great philanthropist,
John McDonogh, which stands in La.
fayette Square, was surrounded by
the little ones and covered with flowers
according to the yearly custom. After.
wards the thousands of pupils passed
in review through City Hall and were
served with refreshments.
The Gibson girl hat is the latest in.
novation of fashion, and is especially
ser7iceable for driving and automo.
billing. It is shaped very much on the
poke order and has no trimming other
than a long chiffon veil which is
draped about the crown, with the ends
left free to tie under the chin. E. B.

A Pertinent Question.

Business men who complain that peo-
pie send their money away from home
for goods that can be had at home for
practically the same money should re-
member that they, too, to be consist
emit, should patronize home industry
and home enterprise. How many of
the business firms Of this city who are
asking home people to spend their
money here are guilty Of having their
printing done away from Shreveport?
It is q taiE question. - Shreveport

sciatiea Cured After Twenty Years

For more than twenty years j. B. Massey, of
1922 Clinton street, Minneapolis, Mimi, was
tortured by sciatica. The pain and suffering
which he endured during this time is beyond
comprehension Nothing gave him any per-
manent relief until he used Chamberlain Pain
Balm. One application Of that liniment re-
Heved the pain and made Sleep and rest posi-
BILE. and less than one bottle has effected per
manent cure. Mr.. Massey relates his ex.
perience for the benefit OF others who may be
similarly afflicted. If troubled with sciatica or
rheumatism why not try 25-cent bottle of Pain
Balm and see for yourself how quickly it re-
lives pain. For sale by all druggists.
