A French review has been asking
leading writer's and artists what they
habitually drink; and the replies are
on the lofty plane Of those that are
made when men are asked to name
their favorite books. With the ex-
ception of Rodin. Flammarion, and a
very few others, who frankly admit
their preference for strong drink,
these French bohemians of to-
day seem to derive their inspira-
ton mainly from water And this

RECIPE FOR LlFE's HAPPINESS
Seek to Remember Only Good Points
of Ones Neighbors.

II you would increase your happi-
ness and prolong your life. forget your
neighbor's faults. Forget the slander
you have heard. Forget the tempta-
tions. Forget peculiarities of your
friends, and only remember the good
points which make you fond Of them.
Forget all personal quarrels or his
tories you may have heard by acci-
dent Blot cut as far as possible all
the disagreeables of life; they will
come, but they will grow larger when
you remember them, and the constant
thought of the acts of meanness will
only tend to make you more familiar
with them. Obliterate everything dis
agreeable from yesterday; start out
with a clean sheet for to-day. and
write on it only lovely things.

UNDEyELOPED RESOURCES.

One Of the prime necessities in the great
state Of Oklahoma is the establishment OF
manufactures Of various kinds that will
utilize and turn into marketable products
the natural resources which abound within
the state borders,
Oklahoma has an abundance Of raw
materials of different kinds. The building
material Of the future must be some man
ufactured mineral product, as the forests
.of the country are rapidly being depleted.
The bureau of forestry estimates that the
available supply Of timber will be ex-
hausted in less than thirty-hve yeass
Oklahoma has an abundance Of clay
limestone and gypsum for the making Of
building materials, and plenty Of fuel for
their manufacture, There is not county
in the state that does not contain clay
suitable for the manufacture Of pressed
brick and sewer tile and yet the greater
part Of these products used right here
within our own borders is shipped in and
the money in payment therefor is accord
ingly shipped out
Oklahoma has it within her power to
not only help supply the country with
products from the rich fields Of raw mate
rial of various kinds and build up COM
merce, but she may greatly reduce her
own running expenses by keeping the
money right at home and getting necessi-
ries at greatly reduced prices.
Until our raw products are developed
we must continue to import about all the
manufactured artieles,we use, and as long
as we are compelled toimport these things
we must pay manufacturer profit, a
dealers profit and an excessive freight
rate.
With mineral resources past compre-
hension all lying dormant we are paying
tribute to other states-M -Muskoeee Phoe-

THOUGHTS GATHERED

Suggestions and News Items
Culled from Flight Of the
Passing Moments.

The poll taxes in Caddo parish
foot up 4741, a gain of loo over
the year 1906.
The prohibition election in
Caddo parish will be contested by
the saloon men.
A tremendous strike involving
100000 operatives is threatened
in the Manchester cotton mills.
In spite of all that has been
said about them, "the. malefactors
of great wealth" continue to put
on flesh.
This is the time of the year
when the good resolutions are
brought out even if they are a
little shopworn.
What shall it profit a man, if he
knowingly stultifies himself, and
is then left to balance his account
with himself?
La this remodeling of the
divorce laws it would be a good
thing to iuclnde one whereby you
could get separated from your
relatives-ln-law.
The enrolment of students of
the Louisiana State University
has reached the number of 612,
and it is confidently expected it
will 60 close to $50.
Texas has gone into the peanut
business. As that State never
does anything on a small scale,
Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia
will have to look to their Goober
laurels.
So-called wit is oftentimes used
to conceal singing sarcasm that
leaves hideous wound and an
ineradicable scar to remind the
victim of an unprovoked attack
of the inhumanlty of man to man.
The antagonisms engendered
between Rear Admiral Bronson
and the President will result i'm
court martial inquiry similar to
that which arose over the case of
Rear Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley as the hero of Santiago.
If there is any repentance from
the stings OF conscience for
violation of some of the command
ments, after the primary election
some of the Wilkinson journalists
will have a heavy burden to
unload.
j. T. Measles, a farmer of
Vivian, confessed that he set fire
to the store of j. l.. Williams and
said that Williams Matched the
plot to burn it. Williams went
TO Shreveport to escape suspicion
and was arrested in that city.
One of the most important
matters now looming up before
Congress is the Clayton resolution
declaring against third term in
the presidential Office. The opin-
ION is expressed that this measure
will pass both branches of Con
gress.

A STRONG REBUKE
TO THE MINISTERS
A Demand for Reliable Proof
Of the Clergy Who Malign
Mr.. Sanders.

The New Orleans States pub
lished the following account of
the meeting at Many, January A.:
At the splendid meeting at
Many. in Sabine parish, Rev.
John Franklin, of Vernon, who
spoke in terms of high eulogy of
Governor Sanders, referred to a
scandalous lie circulated by the
Wilkinson people in that parish.
1t was to the effect that of the
hundreds of preachers of all
denominations in Louisiana, but
three were supporting the candi-
dacy of Governor Sanders, while
all the others were actively adj
vocating the nomination of
Colonel Wilkinson. Mr.. Frank
lin said the statement was not a
fact. He had reason to believe
that many others of his calling
were advocating the nomination
of the lieutenant governor.
Governor Sanders also referred
to the story in connection With
others he refuted. If there were
members of the cloth who were
opposing HIM, he said, they were
those who did not know him.
In the southern part of the state
as elsewhere there were many
teachers of the word of God who
were lending him their aid.
There is not a minister in this
state who knows me, who, like
Brother Franklin, is not for me,
he said, and to emphasize the
fact he read again the letter
received by him on Christmas
morning from the Rev. e. c.
Kramer of the Church of Epiph-
any at New Iberia. Mr.. Kramer
is one of the most respected men
of south Louisiana, of deep
piety and uniIupeachable personal
standing. Here is his letter.
ringing sincere in every sentence,
which ought to do much to silence
the calumnies against the man to
whom It is addressed, for its
author has known Governor
Sanders from his boyhood:

My Dear Sir and Friend:-Per-
NIT me to send you my earnest
congratulations and best wishes
for your happiness at this time
when we commemorate the birth
of Him who was called 1.-The
Prince of Peace" During the
past four or five months have
watched your course as a can
dIdate for the Democratic guber-
material nomination; first with
interest, then with sympathy, and
finally with admiration. Seldom
does it fall to the lot of any can
didate to be tried as you have
been; yet in the midst of SANDER,
vituperation and the most bitter
and violent expressions of hatred,
you have deported yourself with
true nobility, q well-nigh
superhuman foroearanee and
courageous manhood.
Especially do l wish to express
to you my deep regret that any
of my brethren of the clergy
should so far forget the teach
ings of their master as to malign
your good name in the absence of
such proof as would bring con-
viction to fair minded men. A

The total mileage of railroads
operated in the State of Louisians
is 4,290.25, an increase of 423.51
over 1906. This is the largest
increase that has ever been made
In any one year except 1904 when
1t was 444.03. This is not only q
record breaker in this State, but
the largest in any Southern state.
The Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union, at the recent
Memphis meeting, summarized
their financial demands as follows:
National bank notes abolished;
$500, 100000 in treasury notes
issued at once; this loaned direct
to the people to move their crops;
the interest rate to be per cent
maximum, and the collateral to
be land.
Four Italians were arrested who
murdered Joe Tritlco in Calcasieu
parish and buried his body. Forty
two days after his burial his
murderers were arrested through
the detective work of Sheriff d.
j. Reid. The details of the crime
are most gruesome. The men
arrested are box car robbers and
deliberately killed Joe for fear he
would betray them.
Carrie Nation was the sensation
in Baton Rouge last week. She
attracted very general public
attention and made several adj
dresses. She Enthusiastically
visited the saloons and told the
liquor traffic men what she
thought of their traffic. She also
visited the Governor and the
offices of several of the State
officials. She did not bring her
noted Ratchet into play. She
outlined plan of prohibition for
the State Capital.
No law will prove effective that
is not enforced. But let. public
sentiment uphold the hands of
the officials who. are determined
to enforce the law, and there will
be found few who will brave the
consequences of its lnfraction.
Where the infringement of. the
law is condoned then it becomes
a nullity. Arrest all offenders,
including the one who invites its
violation aud there will be no
trouble in making 1t effective. 1t
is silent scquiescence or indiffer-
ence that makes a good law mop
erative.;
In the pursuit of the dollar, no
consideration is given to the effects
of the idea to get-rich-quick On
future generations. This spirit
is displayed in the decreasing of
tho pine lands of the South. The
supply is not inexhaustible and b
very few years will witness the
end of this work of spoiliation.
Some heed should be given to con-
SUMPTION in the years to come,
and steps taken to renew the
growth of the forests. 1t is a
wasteful policy to take away all
there is and pay no attention to
replace the wanton waste prscticed
by present methods.

THE GROWING OF CORN.
A Few Rules Founded On Recent In.
vestigation and Experience.

OF course everybody knows all about
the cultivation of corn; it is also quite
as a matter of course that every farm
ers pet theories as to the growing
of corn are right as to their individ-
ual farms, and therefore many are
quick to condemn any proposition that
conflicts with their ideas as to how
corn should be raised. But there are
few rules founded upon recent in
vestigation and experience which are
unquestionably correct and generally
admitted to be true, among which are
the following:
Deep blowing enables the soil to alb
sorb large quantity of water, and
in some sections it has been found
that by rolling the land, or packing
the soil in the burrows after blowing,
more moisture is retained The sue
cess of the corn crop largely depends
upon how much water of the spring
rain can be retained in the soil, so as
to afford a supply of moisture after
dry weather begins. 1t is true the
corn roots feed near the surface, but
there are also roots that go down after
the moisture that is stored below and
by judicious cultivation the moisture
can be brought up to the plants.
Corn is gross feeding plant and
is never injured by too much manure
or fertilizers If proper cultivation is
given. 1t is also cleaning crop. as
the cultivation required clears the
ground Of weeds and grass and fits
the land for a crop that is drilled or
seeded. A good start early in the year
is important, as the young plants not
only then get ahead of the weeds, but
also become firmly established before
the dry season begins, thus assisting
them to mature previous to the liza
biiity of danger from early fall frosts.
1t is an old and true saying that "the
preparation of the soil is half the bat
tle." and it will apply not only to
corn, but with all other crops. For
corn the soil should be in good con-
dition during the entire growing sea-
son.
Always stirring the ground to the
depth Of few inches, so as to dis
turb the roots as little as possible,
especially after rain, avoids baking
the soil, kills the weeds and grass
prevents water from escaping, assists
air and warmth to enter the soil, while
the fine, loose earth also absorbs a
certain amount of moisture from the
atmosphere.
The stored water in the soil Is most
ly lost by evaporation at the surface
through capillary attraction, but when
ever the surface is cultivated the
capillary tubes are closed by the loose
earth and the extreme heat. Every |
plant pumps water to the surface and
evaporates it through the agency of |
the leaves, hence every weed that !
grows in the corn field assists in de-
priving the corn plant Of moisture.
