WASTE or GAS.

If all the articles on the waste of ga.

be interested IN gas and the sup

wasted could not be computed, but the
loss has been great and will not b.
missed until the gas supply is at an end
You'll never miss the water until the
well runs dry is an axiom which may
be applied to the waste Of gas.
There is scheduled for tonight in the
city hall meeting of the State Conser-
walton Commission, of which w. E
Glassell is chairman. At this meeting .

In the question of gas. 1t is intended
to obtain all Information within reach
for submission to the General Assembly
at its next session, beginning in May
The Caucasian will not anticipate the
proceedings nor the conclusion of this
meeting, but It will express the hope
that ways and means will be devised to
put q stop to the waste of gas and to
insure against the possibility of such
waste in the future.
In States where there is natural gas
--ttaasere are faws which are plain of con
struction and understanding which ap-
ply. 1t Is criminal offense to be neg
lectful to the extent Of being responsible
for the waste Of gas.

CORN CLUBS.

Corn clubs are being organized
throughout Louisiana, and especially
throughout this section Of the State.
These corn clubs by boys should be en-
eouraged 10 the fullest. In the corn
clubs BY boys Il offered stimulus for
development which Is irnrneasurable. In
time the boys on the farm, at least the
greatest majority, must assume the
places Of their fathers. There is no cali
ing, trade Of profession more ennobling
than agriculture. It is the farmer who
ferdest al The safety of the country
must rest Oh the farmer. II is he who
produces and It IS upon him that the
government places its main reliance.
When the BOYS become interested in
corn clubs they win have stronger in
eertiye for sticking to the farm.

FARMERS HINTS ON LIVING.
Drop style, Pay Your Debts, Buy For
Cash and Look Ahead

Cash and Look Ahead.
Be farmer and snap your fingers
at the monopolists, says o. Q. siggs-
worth, venango county (Pa) agricul-
turist. "But If you must live in the
city" he says, then buy your apples
when they are at rock bottom prices
and make apple butter. Lay in fifty
quarts OF tomatoes when they are 80
cents a peck and preserve them.
Il take issue with those who say
things cost more than they used to-
he continued. ''In 1872 l paid 81 for
four pounds Of green coffee, 12ts cents
a pound for sugar, is cents a pound
for prunes and % cents a pound for
rice. | paid So for a bat / could buy
now for 81, 50 for gloves that could
duplicate now for $3.50. As cents a
yard for checking for shirts, $40 for
wedding boots and IS for an ordinary
pair of shoes.
THE wage Garner is hampered By
credit He goes into debt for two
weeks, and his money has to be paid
out the day he gets It. It would be
better for him to go hungry for two
weeks than never to have any money
ahead.
MY advice to those who don't like
life on farm is, Drop style, pay your
debts, buy for cash and look ahead. "

70 BRIGHTEN FARM HOMES.
Work of Miss IIene Bailey, a univer-
sity of Missouri Student.

SHY OF Mt6SCuTl SAuoSHkt
Miss nena NJ. Bailey, a student in
the home economics department of the
University of Missouri at Columbia,
Mo-. has invaded a new field. She is
lecturer to farmers and particularly
to farmers wives.
Under the direction of the state
board of agriculture she goes over the
state to farmers Institutes. Her OBJ
ject is to get the women and girls of
Missouri interested in better home
work and the lessening of the drudg-
cry found in SO many country homes.
The board sends her out to talk
new side of farm life at the institutes
In the winter months.
II believe the girls should have the
same chance as the boys" Miss Bailey
says. "The farm boys are given the
opportunity to take part In corn grow
ing and stock judging contests, and the
girls likewise should have something
to stimulate their interest in the great
work of the home. At Sarcoxie we
have started the first of our contests
for girls; 1t is a buttonhole contest"
In her talks Miss Bailey discusses
foods, clothing, homes and home fur
nishings she attempts to organize
homemakers' clubs at all these insti-
tute meetings.
Miss Bailey has several dates for
farmers Institutes to fill yet this
spring.

Professor Lowell spent few hours In

Not only did he see the new canal,
but he photographed 1t. Previous pho
tographs of this region made as late
as last May failed to show any trace
of the canal. The fact that it devel-
oped between May and September,
when 1t was first observed, Professor
Lowell regarded as positive proof that
1t was artificial and therefore that liv-
ing beings exist on Mars.
The new canal extends southeast
from the region of vegetation, known
as Eyrtis Major. through the great
