A western weekly prints the
following. says Everybody's:
"Paterfamilias asks: How can
/ get an article into your esteem
ed paper?' It all depends on the
article you want to get into our
paper, Pater. If it is small in
bulk. like a hair brush or a tea
caddy, spread the paper out on
the floor. and placing the article
carefully in the center, neatly
fold the edges over it and tie it
with q string. This will keep the
article from slipping out. If. on
the other hand, the article is an
English bath tub or q clothes
horse, you will find it more suit
ed to one of the New York Sun
day papers,"

Louisiana Planter.
Rain is still asked for in some
localities throughout the sugar
district, but in general the rain
fall has been ample, and in some
localities they are protesting
against the excess Of rain which
has occurred there. The crops
are coming along well, and in
most Of the districts hitherto
suffering from drought they are
making now good progress under
the influence of rain and hot
weather. but it will perhaps be
too much to expect that the plant
cane win completely make up for
lost time on those places where
from 60 to 80 days Of dry weather
occurred.

continuous trip of one year. The story
Is vouched for by the S%alzburger Volks-
blatt. while in the United States to
look after an inheritance the German
had . discussion with the American
and accepted a wager Of $40, 1000 that
he could not ride on q train for one
year. The line chosen by the Ger
man was from Vienna to Innsbruck
via Linz and Salzburg, by express
trains. He took all his meals on the
train and slept every night on board.
Twice each day he alighted to change
cars. Occasionally he would be met
at one of these points by his wife,
with whom he would exchange a few
words, and then be of again. The
monotony Of 1t all threatened his rea.
son and toward the end of the year
he had . v attack Of influenza.
This was overcome and the last trip of
the year was successfully made. Ex-
cept for q slight nervousness, from
which he will recover, the winner of
the bet is perfectly well after his one
year trip" In commenting on the
story another German paper says:

A NEW COURT HOUSE NEEDED.

The necessity for a new court
house and clerks Office is called
to the attention of the Police
Jury in the grand jury's report,
and it is to be hoped that the
new jury will be able te find the
means to build a new court
house soon.
At present there is no clerks
Office, the city hall being used
for that purpose, which is not a
sufficiently safe place for the
valuable records of the parish,
and the present court house is
not adequate to the needs of the
parish. 1t is not large enough
and contains no conveniences for
those having to serve on iuries.
A new court house and clerks
Office combined is very much
needed.

ends before the opening of the
last session, requiring higher
admission qualifications and
higher attainments for gradua-
ton. On account of this change
the attendance of the session Of
1907 0S shows only fair improve
ment. This condition is explain
ed in the report of the president,
now in the hands of the members
OF this house.
We fully concur in the re-
port of the president, Dr.. E.. L.
Stephens, and recommend that
a normal school be established at
Lafayette, in connection with the
industrial school, fully believing
that it is a splendid school, des-
tined to become one of the great
cor structive forces of the depart
ment of education"
The recommendation of the
committee seems to be in the
best interest of education in
Louisiana. For the present, we
have a large enough number of
institutions for education above
the common school grades; what
we need to do is to strengthen
and widen the scope of those
now in existence.
At Lafayette, the foundation
has been laid for a splendid
school in Southwestern Louis.
lana. Instead of fritting away
our efforts on several weak col
leges, let all Southwest Louis.
lana pull for better support for
the Industrial Institute. If any
additional educational facilities
are needed. let US have them
added to the Lafayette institute,
where the money can be spent to
the best advantage. We can
make the Industrial Institute,
which is conveniently located
and accessible from every point
in this part of the State, one of
the big schools of Louisiana if we
center our efforts on it's advance
ment.

The Swine and the Flower

Oh me! 1 saw a huge and loathsome sly,
Wherein a drove of wallowing swine
were barred,
Whose banque' ,nocked the nostrll and
the eye
Then spc' a voice, ''Behold the source

I fled, and saw a field that seemed at first
One glistening mass of roses pure and

With dewy buds mid dark green foliage
nursed;
And, as l fingered DER the lovely sight,
The summer breeze, that cooled that
Southern scene,
Whispered, " Behold the source OF
COTTOLENE!"
