aWe've found joyful way to stop

Every evening about $50, ! think
It is. when the man of the house gets

customed to keep it up at frequent
intervals all evening until we get SO
tired OF TO- Gee. Be Sweet to Me Kid

grow mad. The other evening we had
two friends to dinner. and when the
music down stairs had been going for

dance. The idea no sooner took root
4 than we had the rugs up and were

tread softly. II was not long before
the music ceased, and 1t was some

to play again Almost at the same
time. even though we were in the mid
die Of our salad, ,swe got UP and begag
to two-step, with the result that again
the music stopped Even il we wer'

DAIRYMEN ORGANIZE,

The organization of dairy association in
st. Tammany parish is the first step toward
successful engagement in that business.
1t means not only that higher grade of
milk stock will be maintained, but that a
distinction will be made between beef and
dairy stock. The introduction of high-grade
milk stock will so clearly show their eco
nomlc value, as compared to common stock,
that the latter will soon disappear from the
range. Good Holstein and Jersey calves are
worth from $50 to SITS. Those raised by the
dalrymen will not be sold for less, for if
worth less they will not be raised at all.
AS this is much above the price the butcher
can afford, the demand for beef stock will
be supplied by those making speciality of
the business, creating development in this
line naturally arising from special attention
and the demands of the trade Good beef
finds reader market, commands better
price and is handled quicker than common
that is, it is ready for market in shorter
time and weighs more
There is plenty of room for the extension
of the dairy business in the South and little
danger that it will be overdone. Butter and
cheese, of which we are large consumers, as
well as quantities of condensed milk, are
supplied to us by the North and West. The
reason why these things are not produced
in the South is that the scarcity and high
price of milk prohibits it. New Orleans
should be making thousands of gallons of
ice cream daily, for home consumption and
for shipment, and would be, under more
favorable conditions. When we shall have
improved and increased our dairy cattle the
fertility of the soil will also be increased,
the cost of feed and the cost of milk will
be lessened and the profits on the output
become more remunerative There is a good
market for both beef and dairy products
and there is no reason why this demand
should not be supplied by the South.

FOR BENEFIT OF EACH,

There seems to be disagreement between
the different towns and their bands as to
the amount that should be paid for services
at entertainments for public benefit
It is undoubtedly of benft for town to
have it's own band, and after securing it's
organization every effort should be made to
sustain and encourage it. But on the other
hand if the amount demanded for it's services
is so excessive as to defeat the object of the
entertainment and eat up in expenses the
Would-be profits that should be realized for
the beneficiary, then the usefulness of the
band fails On such occasions the members
of the band should be willing to donate to
the public their share of what is due to an
interest in civic affairs. In most instances
the services of bands are required at time
that calls for no sacrifice of business duties,
either in the evening, on Sunday or holli-
days, and certainly no more should be asked
by them than is charged by bands coming
from New Orleans. The people should take
an interest in their home bands, and are
naturally inclined to do so, but it is notice
able that. the towns of Abita, Vaudeville
and Covington have each complained that
their home bands charged exorbitant prices
and the former towns have in consequence
employed musicians from New Orleans.
An effort should be made to adjust mat
tiers so that there will not be drifting apart
of interests that should be cemeNBsed together
by social and business ties

WANT CUTovER LANDS REDUCED.

There is an effort being made by the own
ers of timber lands to have the A class of
timber, now assessed at $3.50, changed to
$1,000 per acre and the cutover lands re-
duced to so cents per acre. It is easily seen
that such an arrangement would be fine
thing for the big corporation and large land
holder, but very poor thing for the State
It would make it more difficult for land
owners of moderate means to hold frst-class
timber lands and would tend to reduce their
value in the market, while it would enable
the owners Of large tracts of cutover lands
to hold them for high prices and prevent
them from being sold for settlement. AS a
revenue producer for the State and parishes
this change would be hurtful and probably
result in the transformation Of much A TIM
Der to the B class at $3.50 per acre. It is
in evidence that the wealthy timber owners
are always on hand with their attorneys to
secure reductions in assessments, while the
little fish take their medicine in silence, but
it is not reasonable to presume that the
farmers who have tracts Of unfenced cut
over lands will calmly submit to being taxed
more for those lands than are the owners of
large tracts.

ASKED TO TAX SHORE LINE.

It is understood that the Shore Line
of the New Orleans Great Northern
Railway Company was exempted from
taxation by the State Board of Appraisers
on the understanding that it had been COM
pleted by January l, 1909, in compliance
with the law The Police Jury, acting as a
Board of Reviewers, after consulting Dis
trict Attorney Morgan, placed this property
on the tax roll.
Unless the company can show that this
road was completed by January l, 1909, it is
not entitled to exemption and should pay
taxes.
While in one sense this is new road, it
is contended by some to be merely an altera-
ton or change in the course of the old road.
The old road is nearly all abandoned, and
the assessment on it has been reduced from
$1,000 to $4,000 per mile.

THE BRIDGE MUST COME.

Evidently the Railroad Commission came
into existence through necessity. Petitions
and tears as opposed to profits have about
as much effect on railroad company as
prayer has upon the engine. It is apparent
that Covington has little to expect from the
Baton Rouge, Hammond and Eastern in
the way of improved passenger service that
cannot be acquired through the Railroad
Commission. They are secure in the pos
session of their right of way and can bide
their time for improvement and extension.
A bridge across the lake is the proposition
that is bound to assume shape some time.
The company that will take this in hand
will be master of the situation, not only as
to short route for railroads entering New
Orleans from the North, but in having a
route of travel free from washouts. When
this time comes, ST. Tammany parish will
become residing place for New Orleans
businessmen, pleasure seekers will be con-
stantly coming to and fro and the company
which owns the bridge will reap the harvest.
