A GOOD LAW.

+ Notice has been given that a
bill will be introduced in the Leg
islature compelling peddlers, or
solicitors of clothing. dry goods,
etc, for outside houses, in com
munitics where the business is not
pl6cited, tx pay:a Incense. We sd1
not know who is the father Of this
bill, but he deserves a special vote
Of thanks from the business world
at large for being so thoughtful.
Whether this bill becomes lawr
remains to be seen, but his efforts
are bound to be admired by the
business world at large. There is
no reason that all competitors
should not be placed on an equal
footing. In allowing pedd,ers or
solicitors to take orders and de-
liver the goods later, without pay
ing a license. an undue advantage
is taken Of The resident merchants.
The Injustice to the home mer-
chants Started when clothing
drummers were allowed the field
without being called upon to- pay
any compansation or revenue to
the town for the privilege they
were given in doing business here.
The home merchant however was
forced to remain behind his cOun.
ter while his competitor from New
Orleans or another town went to
his customers door or office and
solicited his order and nine times
out Of ten got 1t. There are many
people who are now out of town
buyers who were made so by the
solicitor; without him they would
never have bought out of town.
Most Of them acquire the habit
and remain out Of town buyers.
The consequence is that the home
merchants are wont to reduce
their stock and not carry what
they would otherwise carry, if
,tkV wNeA assured thS patronage
of the entire community.
A bill compelling solicitors to
pay license would either produce
more revenue for the town and
parish or compel the house employr
ing the solicitor to open branch
houses here and carry a line Of
samples or an average stock; thia
would give the local merchant d
fair chance and make asquare deal
possible. /, TOP many buy out Of
town. being Under the impression
that prices are better and material
superior, when as a matter Of fact.
the ftvefse is true ninety nine
times out of one hundred. A good
policy to adopt is to buy every
thing at home, if your home mer-
chant has it not let him secure
it for you, if he refuses then deal
with some. one who will. We have
adopted this policy and stick to i
and find that it pays not only in
that we get better service, but
material, ,ower prices and
the supreme satisfaction of having
the good will Of our home mereh-
ants.-Thibodaux Journal.

THE GERMAN FARMERS.

The organization by the German
farmers Of Acadia parish of 4
company to market ccan rice IN
the German cities Of the North Is
lihel:. to prove winning ven
ture. IF it is handled conserva-
lively and wisely it may become a
big factor in the marketing OF
the rice crop. The character OF
the men enga gcd in the movement
stamps 1t as one worthy OF conS'd-
grafton for they are Prosperous
formers who have the means II
f,uance the undertaking and hey
viii hardly indulge in he unprao-
t;ra' notions 50 often entertained
by movement Of farmerS.
The aim Of the German far
mers' organization is to work
among German-spcaking % popula
tons. like Milwaukee and st.
Louis. Where they find they can
sell direct TO the trade 10 advant-
are they WI II do 50. Where they
find it is more proftable to en-
n'cv brokers' and commission
men they will'do that. They are
welded to no particular plan and
they do not seek t. exclude any
body. Their only idea IS 10 sell
their rice as cheaply as possible
and to sell as much of il as they
can They hope to get the rice
from the producer to the consunl-
err lite cheaper than is now
done and thus increase consump-
ton.
While the new association now
consists Of about sixty of the lead
ING German farmers Of Acadia
parish. it will not be confined to
Germans. Any reputable and re
liable farmer may join, and many
farmers who are not Germans
have asked for membership. The
selling of rice through this com
pany will be voluntary at all
times. No member viii. be expect
ed to pledge al his rice to be sold.
lie can sell through the company
as much Of it or as little Of it as
it suits him.
This rice farmers movement has
a practical look, because it has be-
hind it hard-headed, practical men,
who do not befuddle their mater
ial interests with mere theory. 1t
is a movement that the rice far
mer will do we'll to watch. from
the State.-Crowley Signal.

CROP SHORT.

Shortages in the Bayou La
fonrche. onion crop, amounting to
approximately 80 per cent Of the
expected yield, will result from
the continued drought through
Louisiana.
This is. the report Of JJtaph
Lallande, assistant general freight
agent of the Morgan lines, who
returned yesterday from trip
through the Lafourche section.
He made an investiga ion of the
crop prospects relative to 10th
onions and potatoes, and said that
in both crops, there would be a
very appreciate falling off on
the average yield.
Ordinary the farmers from La
fourche section ship about 500
carload Of onions via the Morgan
line and this year so far. the ship
lhchts have not been more than
seventy-five ears. The total out
put last YER # tafQlTrche OF on
ions was about 100000 sacks most
Of winch Nero sent to New Or,
leans by raj. bu. slme by y te~
routes. According to Mr.. Lal-
lande the farmers do not expect
to secure more than 20 per cent
Of usual crops Of onions. There
is q compensation, however for
the situation in the price which
Lafourchc onions command. which
makes up in large masure for the
shortage. Last year spectators
got control of the onion crop and
the return to the growers was
small ia comparison to the prof.
its of the manipulation. This yaar
the growers will get a good prot

"ALONE IN THE WORLD. ,

One never realizes the discom-
forts Of loneliness quite so strong
~ as during The winter season
Yet there are many lonely people
in the word. The man who has
no family ties, no sympathizing
companions, no genial relations
with his fellow men, is indeed
alone in the world. We are told
that loneliness is but the result
Of volition; but whatever it may
have been in the olden days. it is
not quite true Of today, when
everybody looks with suspicion on
every other body who happens to
be unknown to them. 1t Is not
easy to make friends and acquaint-
ances 'aspnialVin Che city. Many
women live for years in a neigh
borhood, yet hardly get on speak
ing terms with their next door
neighbor, and even, though the
speaking" terms are established,
it may be long before there is the
slightest effort or offer toward So
liability. Many, people really
NOPE in solitude when they might
be finding friends. They grad
ually get the habit Of staying at
home, and are thus growing more
and more separate from their kind,
until they are dropped out and
forgotten. They become soured
and embittered because Of the
faneied neglect, and the word can
do without them. One of the ways
to become acquainted is through
attending church meetings.. If
you are unknown, make yourself
known to the minister, and ex-
press your desire. to know his
congregation, showing yourself
friendly. and you will-at least find
two or three who,5 like yourself,
are alone in the crowd, and a
friendship will grow out Of it.
There is nothing so depressing, as
continued solitude. Mankind is
constitutional.y gregarious and
social and cannot llives "a solitary
life without violating the eondi-
tons upon which the mental
health depends. Begin now with
. resolve to cultivate your friends
and thus broaden your own out
hook. Waterman.
