CORN GROWING.

OF recent years the growing of corn
in this section of the State has reached
the stage of development when it is
classed with the industries from which
are produced substantial wealth. It is
no longer experimental Indeed, there
is no place on earth b~tter adapted for
corn growing, provided it be given in
telligent attention The corn develop
ment of today is the result of generous
rivalry, stimulated through exhibits of
corn at the State Fair of Louisiana by
a few men who have progressed in their
agricultural pursuits.
Today there are offered premiums in
competition for the best corn grown by
boys. This corn is to be exhibited at
the State Fair. Corn growing has be-
come general and is not confined to boys
clubs, but the farmers have realized the
advantages Of growing all the corn they
need and have to spare for sale.
Corn is the staff of life.
Without a full supply of corn the
farmer is poor indeed, but with corn in
abundance he can have his meat and his
bread and be, so to speak, independent
Of the world
Growing corn in this sectiot- of the
State has become an industry whose inn
portance can not be ninitnized. It is a
saver Of millions in money to the coun-
try Il is one of the strongest hand
maids of prosperity.

The gun is 14.3 FOUNDER similar

loading guns. with the exception that
in this latter springs are used in the
recoil apparatus. These have been
done away with completely in the new
weapon, and liquid, which is the
firms patent, and air have been sub
stituted in the recoil cylinders
By this means it has been proved
possible for the gun to remain in the

EARNED FORTUNE

Joseph Thomas Enlarged Upon
Modest BuStIe.
INVENTOR IN MANY Lines,

Evolution OF Sewing Machine and Sui
phur Match Maker-Was Native of
France, but Lived in America For
Sixty-four Years.
More than half a century ago two
men sat in a dingy room working hard
to perfect a contrivance for sewing,
and the result Of their efforts was the
first sewing machine. One of the in
ventorS was Joseph Thomas, who died
recently at his home in Hoboken. He
was eighty three years old and for the
last three months had been bedridden.
Thomas was All inventor of many
machines that have brought millions
to those who bought the patents. and
one of his ideas was the hoopskirt,
which was popular with women from
1850 to 1870, Thomas had always been
keen observer, and in many instances
his wife aided him in inventions, tell
ing him what was needed by women.
When he was mere boy he noticed
the bustles worn by women, and when
out with his wife one day they talked
of the peculiarities of feminine fash
ions. Il wouldn't wonder that they
would soon have bustles all around the
skirts" he remarked
Fortune In CrinoIine.
1t was not long afterward that Thom-
as launched the hoopskirt, and he soon
found that even at $500 dozen he
could not make them fast enough for
the demand. He was offered thou
sands of dollars and first rejected all
offers. At that time he had several
other ideas. and when finally he re-
ceiVed an offer from a Philadelphia
concern of $4,000 he accepted it. That
amount of money meant good deal to
a poor inventor in those days, and
Thomas was regarded as one of the
coming miIlionaires. The Quaker City
firm made hundreds of thousands from
Thomas invention. The idea went
from here to Europe and thence TO Eu
ropean countries
Thomas then settled down to perfect
his other ideas. and the sewing ma
chine came next. He did not get any
money for that. as he was employed as
one of the draughtsmen in machine
company. But he earned a big salary.
and his employer made handsome
present to Thomas and George Blees.

Thomas left the company when he
found he had enough money to devote
himself to other ideas He realized

manufacture of sulphur matches with

~RUSADERS. reformers and others
who have worked alone and with
each other for the abolition Of
the liquor traffic have never used
the best argument why men and
women, too. should not drink. Let
them acquaint the world with the fact
that drinking is responsible for more
loose talk than anything else and
total abstinence viii be forced on
perhaps unwilling public as a matter
Of self-defense.
There may be some reason why

Of intoxication desires to talk, but

a short haired. low browed bar keeper
in his confidence and with tears run
ming down his face tell the innermost
secrets Of his soul
II the women Of this city knew how
many bar keepers were in possession Of
the family secrets. how many of the
experts with the bungstarter knew Of
the things they have ever held as
sacred, there would be a movement for
the determination of the rum demon
that would be irresistible. Not alone
that. 81 these wives should send their
loquacious husbands to the great be-
yond by either the powdered glass or
the prussic acid route no jury could be
found to convict If the truth were told.
Family secrets seem to be the
speciality Of the men who select a bar
keeper to make conversation with
They rarely talk OF business matters.
or perhaps the business world would
be revolutionized, but they have not
the slightest diffidence about discussing
the most sacred family affairs with a
man known only by his first name.
And the recipient of the family secrets
is in most instances a man who would
make a decided objection against any
one prying into his life.
It is no easy task to analyze the
workings Of a brain which revels in
the revealing to a comparative stranger

The desire to talk about family af-
fairs is not one of the early symp-
toms OF an intoxicated condition. It
always comes after the man has ar

stentorian tones that he will have to

morning because he Is down on the

For the benefit of those persons, and

days McShane had almost killed a tres
passing fisherman, and not even the
boldest who might venture over the
fence and cast his line into the forbid
den precincts-with one eye always on
the farmyard and the other on the
water-was brave enough to stand his
ground when the lank, cowhide booted,
jean appareled. straw hat crested form
of McShane loomed up in the distance,
fork. spade or scythe ifi hand. shouting
the stereotyped cry Of: Col darn We,
Git off'n there quick. or I'll break every
bone in yer bodyr
The stream, as well as the river,
was hshed hard in the spring, but
this half mile of water was left in
peace and quiet, as it were, a wild and
natural preserve. 1t was a self f-selected
spot haunted by both big and little
trout, the small fish coming from up
the stream and hugging the shallow
places. and the large fellows. great
lusty fish Of two and three pounds in
weight, coming from the river and
crowding into the pools.
In May. when the flies were stirring,
one standing at the fence could witness
the leaping trout as they struck the
falling flies when they touched the
water. The fish were there In hun
dreds, and the surface of the water
never seemed free from ripples made
by rising fish. During the night the
trout undoubtedly made excursions up
the brook and out into the river, but
when daylight came they found their
way back to their haven of refuge,
where worms on hooks. rainbow tinted
flies. swishing rods and wading men
were unknown
If the stories told from day to day
by enthusiastic and imaginative anglers
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-03

were SO. as to the jumping trout seen
in that stream, 10 pound fish would
have been at a discount. Because they
were forbidden fish they seemed so
much the larger.
Nothing but pure cussedness and
meanness seemed to be the motive for
posting that stream. The meadow along
the waterway was rocky and swampy
almost the entire length, so that no
possible damage could result from one
fishing the stream, even from the
banks,l in the way of trampled crops
and meadow.
And as season after season went
by, the trout ia that sanctuary waxed
lusty and strong and became numerous
beyond count.
The many weary months Jake was
cooped up between bricks and mortar
in the great noisy city. during which
he wended his laborious way through
the dry and dusty paths of legal lore,
were not forgotten, and now that re-
straint was off and he was again among
the hills and streams of his boyhood
days. his intention was to enjoy them

He had spent many Saturdays as
boy along the brooks, luring the
trout with worm and alder pole from
the cool recesses of the shelving rocks
and overhanging banks. often had he.
after a day of Indifferent fishing. stood
at the forbidden fence and watched the
trout jump when his string was far
from filled.
His study of the law had convinced
him of the power of speech, and he had
assiduously cultivated that faculty.
