An Optimistic View.

When most of the old time
planters are blue as indigo over
the cotton situation, it is distinct
ly cheering to hear from the
Baton Rouge State-Times of one
who is more optimistic:
Mr.. T, L. Mills, Sr., a promi-'
nent planter of Irene, in the
northern part of this parish, and
who was in attendance at the re.
cent boil weevil convention held
here under the auspices of the
Board Of Trade, takes the most
optimistic view of the advent of
the weevil in this section.
Mr.. Mills says that there is no
reason why this country should
be considered as going to the
eternal bow.wows just because
an insect has come along which
prevents the growth of cotton
exclusively. In speaking of the
adaptibility OF Louisiana soil fo.'
the Investigation of crops he
said:
You will understand what |
mean when | tell you that I have
on my place thirteen varieties
which will serve as edibles.
What is the use of a man talking
about starvation and hard times
when he lives in country which
offers such advantages? The
quicker the Louisiana farmer
learns that he can raise practical
ly everything which he needs to
supply his table, and begins to
take advantage of this knowl-
edge, the better it will be for him

Caldwell as we have heard it
through friends of his. 1t is

confide in Your Boys

A boy is entitled to his faith
er's confidence; it is his right to
know his fathers nature and ex.
periences; only thus can he be
fully heir to all that parenthood
can and should bestow. 1t is for
the child's good that we be a
parent to him, first and last, not
a master, nor yet a hero. AS to
reverence, / doubt whether a
child reyerences his parents af-
ter he is ten years old. He sees
their faults, and secretly judges
them-often unjustly. Our neigh
Dor Grayson has always exacted
a sort of homage from his family.
He is out for reelection and yes
terday he made a speech before
the Sunday school, which some
body was extolling, when his son
Harry said with a sneering laugh:
"Oh, the old man knows how to
pull the wool over their eyes,!
I'd rather have my children know
me as | am than think of me as a
hypocrite. Children know you,
too, pretty well. They have keen
insight these days; they are far
quicker at mind reading than the
children were generations back.
They know more about you than
you dream they know; but not
being wise enough to give the
proper weight to causes and mo-
tives, they are apt to misjudge
you. So it is best to be open
with them. Frankness on your
part will lead to confidence on
theirs. Mary E. Bryan, in Un

But the door was barred when they called my name,
And the steps went down the stairs

And my prayers were heard for with toll my house

Apropos the appointment of
game wardens throughout the
state comes the interesting news
that Acting Governor Lambre-
mont's son, who is a law student
at Tulane University in New Or
leans, has received the appoint
ment of game warden for ST.
James.
A still more interesting feature
about this appointment is the
fact that influential individuals
who were not in accord with the
policies of Governor Sanders had
recommended the appointment of
another man-said to be practi-
cal hunter and one who could
give the duties of the position
his earnest attention. Despite
this, however, Lambremont's
son, who can give none of his at
tention to the job, was appointed.

driven into his breast by the ex-
plosion, the other twined around
his body.

next morning revealed a cut in

the perpetrators were supposed
to have escaped, DR.. McKowen

One of the first steps that a
young man takes on the road to
downfall is when he begins to
disregard his debts and so lives
beyond his means that he makes
no pretentions toward paying
what he owes. It doesn't make
any difference how small a salary
a boy commands, if he doesn't
save little, he will not develop
into a man. He will never have
anything, and will always remain
a boy, though he should live a
hundred years. To get money
is not the principal aim in life,
but a boy of the spendthrift kind
will never develop into the right
kind of character. Newton Rec,
ord.
