Will Get Ont Dream Book.

Ed. Dis, the tonsorialist at Way
woods shop, in One Hundred and Nine
teenth street, is. according to his
dreams. engaged in a new line of work,
which differs greatly from his regu-
lar vocation.
On Friday night Roy Dis was awak-
ened from his slumbers by strange
sounds, which he found emanating from
his brother, Ed, who was sitting up
in bed. going through various move
ments and singing Annie Laurie"
After he had gone through the en-
tire song, Mr.. Dis was awakened, and
it was then he informed his brother
of the nature of his dream. 1t was
that he was engaged as an entertain
er in a scent theater, and his part
of the program was to sing this new
song.
His being so emphatic, he thought
it was accounted for by his singing tc
illustrated views. and seeing Annie
Laurie, as he had seen her, was enough
to make any man emphatic.

court?" Well. who knows?"
I'VE don't. By good advice St. John
people dropped the matter, as too many
other things happened in the town to
attract the attention of the people.
Has the new handcar arrived?'
No handcar has been sent as yet. It
was said the Monon railroad promised
a new handcar house to the section
foreman for the year 1000 A. D., which
was thought a better attraction and

explained latter on.

Steam plOWs in Egypt.

When Joseph went into the grain business
in Egypt and cornered the market on wheat,
millet, or whatever may have been the grains
of those days he encountered a civilization that
has continued during the last three Or four
thousand years as it was when he made his
brilliant ventures. A change, however, has
come over Egypt and as the world grows smaller
every day with the advent Of the telegraph, the
telephone, wireless %telegraphy, the turbine
steamship and now the airship, so we find that
Egypt is becoming familiar with ali the world
and in some respects seems to be SURPRISING Us,
who here in Louisiana think we are among the
foremost agriculturists Of the world.
Vice-Consul General Frederick W. caldwell,
of Cairo, Egypt, refers to the fact that the
British Vice-Conl at Alexandria, in his report
for 1903, to his home government, states that
steam ploWs are becoming more popular in
Egypt each year. In the last year over one
hundred and fifty sets Of a patent steam pillow
of British make have been sent to Egypt, each
set consisting of two engines and one cultiva-
tor and can p!oW 20 Feddans, equal to q acres,
per day. We have no doubt these English
ploWs are of the Fowler make, Fowler & Co., Of
Leeds, England, having turned out the first
effective steam pillow a generation ago. Il has
seemed to us very singular that mere in Louisi~
ana we should have so few steam p!ows. The
recent advent OF & gasoline motor traction n}ow
makes a progressive step in our career here and
we shall hope that it's success vii! result in other
ventures in the same direction. Napoleon told
his soldiers in Egypt that thirty centuries looked
down upon them and the modern steam pillow
that has invaded the grain fields Of Egypt is
doubtless breaking up the habits and methods
of a people that are nearly the same now as
they were forty or fifty centuries ago.
The great central sugar factories of egypt
set the pace in factory work to some extent for
the rest Of the world and in the cane fields of
Egypt Georges Vile, the great agricultural
chemist Of France, learned his first lessons in
sugar cane fertilization. We can scarcely speak
any more of Egyptian darkness when they are
really opening up the way of progress to us.

and indicates that It's scarcity may lead us 70 60
largely into Chinese labor as that is the only
country in the world that can furnish US a sup
ply. This is just what the people Of Hawaii
say. They want Congress to exempt them from
the Avs against contract labor so that they
may employ Chinese. japanese or other labor
and forcibIy compel the laborers to fulfill their
contracts. In the states this means the new
crime of peonage and the Hawaiian Territory
wants exemption.
Better far it will be for Louisiana and 70!
the rest Of the Gulf States, if immigration from
Southwestern Europe were encouraged. This
would be immigration that would make good
citizens. We want no contract or forced labor,
no Chinese or Japanes.. and we want only free
men whom we can convert into good American
citizens in due time. This couldn't be done
with with Chinese or japanese in g century.
The fact remains that our agriculture in a
large way OF III q small way demands a fair
supply Of common ~labCIers, Of the "heWerS Of
weed and drawers Of water of DID,, just as has
been the case since the dawn Of civilization.
We can't get them from the Northwest and we
don't want Chinese and japanese. Whence can
we get them?
