Give Us the Animals

Certain people and newspapers
have seen fit to grow hilariously witty
over the proposition Of Congressman
Broussard to have the Federal Gov
eminent import different varieties Of
animals from Africa and stock the
swamps and marshes Of Louisiana
with the visible meat supply and
utilizing these vast wastes. We are
not prepared to speak advisablY Of
the scheme except with reference to
one of the animals mentioned, the
water buffalo so abundant in the
Philippines. We have seen the
beasts, and as the immortal Byron
said Of old ocean. we have laid our
hand upon his name and heard him
roar. He is all right. Several years
ago some gentlemen of our aquain-
lance opened negotiations looking to-
ward the Importation into this State
Of q few head Of these useful animals.

quarantine regulations which bar
them out, though the anarchist, the

Big Demand for April Cabbage

Early last fall the owners of land
were advised to plant plenty of cab
bage that would be ready for market
in April this year. Unfortunately
they did not do SO and as a conse-
quence there IS a demand at good
prices now that cannot be filed. A
month ago the prices were quite low
but as usually happens in April the
market in the north has gone up and
there are orders on hand j The
Truck Growers Association for at
least ten cars that could be filled at
good prices. In fact the prices now
would pay the ordinary grower
$3.50 fer acre N this crop aloae.-

The Country and the Exposition

Thoughtful students throughon,
the world today are giving profound
consideration to the tendency everv,
where apparent towards q GROWING
arrangement between urban and
rural communities. The rapid growth
of the cities and the exactino da-
mands of modern business have nro.
duced conditions which make increas-
ingly difficult that fine old.time init.
macy Of fellowship and sympathy
formerly obtained between CITY ana
country, and we see a drifting apart
merely because neither understands
the other, truthfully says the Crowley
Signal.
In the plan by which it is proposed
to provide for and operate the preat
Panama Canal Exposition that condi-
tion is recognized, and genuine ef-
fort has been made to bridge the
ever widening chasm between city
and country, through the medium Of
an enterprise which shall by the lofti-
ness of the plane upon which il has
been pitched, make a powerful an
peal to the best that can be found in
our urban and rural citizenship, To
that end the almost unprecedented
convention, which met in New Or
leans to determine upon the plan and
character Of the exposition-the DEL
egates 20 which were appointed by
Governor Sanders and Mayor Behrman
was composed, in equal parts Of
the pick and flower Of Louisiana Sc.
lected from city and country.
The Board of Directors, which has
full control of the preparation Of the
enterprise and the operation Of the
exposition, is composed Of ~ffty-seyen
members of the city and forty-three
from the country; and the Finance
Committee are four from the city
and three from the country. The
sentiment that dominated all was the
desire to bring city and country inti-
mately together in a common effort
that is big enough to enlist their in
terests and worthy of their highest
and most earnest endeavors. And
what could be calculated to do this
more effectively than to seize advan-
tage of the opportunity when the eyes
of the world shall be conferred upon the
achievement of the human
race, to attract the multitude to the
continental gateway opening upon the
canal?
An imposing exposition held at
New Orleans to celebrate that
event is the best possible way to link !
this metropolis and the surrounding
country ~indissolubly with the Panama
to suggest automatically, as it
were, New Orleans and Louisiana to
the mind at every mention Of the
great waterway to the Orient. And
such an exposition it will be impossi-
BILE to make successful unless city
and country alike feel the burden Of
responsibility, realize the splendor of
the opportunity and become fired
a common enthusiasm. The
is one which shall feel it ID
true; but when have results that are
worth whichever been achieved without
sacrifice, and who thinks of sacrifice
when there is certainly of speedy
and munifcent returns?

We are informed that since the liq.
uor element is circulating petitions to
get enough names for a new election on
local option, that the best element
among the colored women have taken
up the temperance fight with vigor and
determination. We understand that they
have been holding well organized meet
ings to protest against the saloons be-
ing opened again in Harrodsburg. They
say that since whisky has been elimina-
ted they and their children have lived
more comfortably and had more ard
better clothes and food. They feel that
now, with living expenses so high, if
their husbands are tempted to spend
their wages for whisky, the return OF
saloons will mean actual want and suf-
fering for many families. We are in
formed that the colored women are
holding prayer meetings among them
selves and making we'll directed efforts
to counterfeit the petitions and keep the
men of their families from signing it.
We hope this is the case, because such
a movement will mean a moral stand
that will meet with respect everywhere.
