mental to the whole problem OF perma-

organized, under government leadership, q
comprehensive plan for an exhaustive
study or survey Of all the conditions that
surround the business of farming and the
people who live in the country, in order to
take stock Of our resources and to supply
the farmer with knowledge.
Each state college of agriculture should
organize, as soon as practicable, . complete
department of college extension. Local.
state, and even national conferences on
rural progress, designed to unite the in
terests of education, organization and re-
igion, should be held.
There is need for young people of quail

viction, who will live in the open country
- permanent residents On farms or a
teachers, or in other useful fields, and
who, while developing their own business
or affairs to the greatest perfection, will
still have unselfish interest in the welfare
Of their communities. The farming
country is by no means devoid of leaders
and is not lost or incapable OF helping
itself, but it has been relatively overlooked
by persons who are seeking great fields OF
usefulness. It viii be well for us as a

over 5000 per acre for his crop.

M. Barousse planted about five

quantities, he is very we'll satisfied

70 bushels per acre, and sold them
for 81 per bushel.

NINE MILES OF ROAD TO

Baton Rouge Is EeraIy CORpleled-.WoFk.
Ing Through Alehafalaya Swamp.

The Southern Pacific railroad has
only nine miles Of track to build in
order to complete the line between
Eaton Rouge and Lafayette. says the
state-Timea.
This uncompIeted portion is
through the Atchsfalaya swamp, and
il The most difficult portion Of the
work on the cut Of. Twenty-Five
miles has been completed On this side
of the Atchafalaya running from
Port Allen TO q mile and 3 half west
of Maringuin. An even greater dis
lance has been completed east from
Lafayette to Atchafalaya swamp.
The Southern Pacific is building an
embankment through the Atehafa
Iaya instead Of building 4 trestle and
then filling, and this method Of con-
struetion takes much longer. Engi-
neers estimate that it will take about
six months, according TO the present
rate, to complete the work ii the
sWamps and connect up the tracks.
Work is also under way on the
steel portion Of the bridge. The
piers have been completed, and the

city today, figure viii be finished be-

New Orleans, June I0.-Iti ii finally
announced from an official source
that the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley

the Louisiana Railway and Nagiga-

Their understood that the Frisco has
agreed to permit the Southern Paei-
fc to use its inclines on the west
bank of the river at Port Allen.
While il is not yet announced when
trains will operate, this agreement
clears away the last obstacle Ia the
opening Of the two roads to the west,
have only the repairs on the frisco
roadbed and A~tehafalaya bridge, and
the Southern Pacifc's construction Of
ten miles Of roadbed not YET com
pleted.
The Colorado Southern will send
It's passenger trains into the Terminal
Station on Canal street. With the
understanding that has been reached
between the Texas and Pacific and
the Illinois Central, four railroads
will 60 into the Howard avenue Sta

Nav Paste Million Posters.

Artists, billDosters, printers, paper
manufacturers and tuberculosis fight
ers are all united in a gigantic crusade
against tuberculosis which is about to
be started under the direction of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In
addition TO the gifts of free space on
billhoards and free printing OF posters
made by the Associated BillpOsters
and Distributors of America and the
Poster Printers Association, several
hundred paper manufacturers have
given paper for the posters to the
value of several thousand dollars, and
artists from all over the United States
are contributing sketches for posters
free of charge. The local, state and
national anti-tuberculCsis associations
will see that the posters are placed
in cities and towns where they are
most needed.
The posters are feet long and
feet wide and will be printed in
several colors. If sufficient paper is
procured q million will be pasted up.
The value of these various contribu-
tions would reach fully $2000,000 if
paid for at commercial rates.

ChiIdren's Parties.

Childrens parties are functions that
occur at any and all seasons, and the
chief thought with the mother is to
give the younglings good time and
food that will be wholesome. The en-
tertainment is simple matter, for
children are easily amused, a puzzle
party or soap bubble party giving a
small prize TO the one who puts the
puzzle together first and the one who
blows the largest bubble.
The old games are always popular;
drop the handkerchief, blind mans
buff, putting a tail on the donkey and
any number of games which are sim
pie enough for small children may be
played.
The refreshments are the impor-
tant feature of children's party and
the part for them of the most inter.
est. The honest small boy who was
being entertained at children's par
ty expressed the feelings of most chill
dren when he asked: When is the
party to begin?"
Sandwiches of different varieties,
cut in fancy shapes, are always favor
ties, and ice cream with small cakes
are most gratifying
The little cakes may be frosted with
white or cholocate and decorated with
candies to delight the heart of the
child.
In preparing the sandwiches if the
meat used is chicken or ham. it
should always be chopped. Sweet
sandwiches of grated maple sugar and
salted almonds chopped make sand
wich which is most delectable
The little paper cases may be used
with creamed chicken if one cares to
have more elaborate menu and CO.
Goa and milk for the drink
A tiny box of candy given each
child TO take home will be something
10 remember with JOY for many days.
If the party is birthday one, the
cake may be decorated with candles
and lighted when brought in. This is
a pleasure that never loses it's charm
even when the candles number up In
the thirties.

Cream Pie,

Use any recipe for layer cake that
is light and delicate; bake in round
layer cake tins and put together with
sweetened favored whipped cream. If
it is wanted especially nice and with
modern touch in garnishing, sprin-
klo the top of the cake after putting
on the cream roughly with chopped
candied cherries. This will then be a
veritable Washington pie, modern
lied.
a cake may be removed from the
tins nicely, if allowed to stand for a
few moments to sweat and loosen
from the bottom.
a delicious filling for a layer cake
is sour cream, sugar one cup each and
chopped hickory nut meats. Cook
the sugar and cream and add the nuts
just before taking off the heat
