a new grain for feeding purposes
and an improved alfalfa that will add

values were submitted at the meeting
OF the American Breeders associa-
ton in Omaha recently, and later to
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, in Boston.
by Prof. b. G.. Butfum, for IS years
head Of the agricultural department
OF the University Of Wyoming, who
left Chicago to exhibit the finished
results OF series Of experiments in
grasses and grains secured at the ex-
pertinent farm under his supervision
at Worland, Wyo. The feeding grain
ISL new variety of emmer, hybred
wheat, which is superior to corn in
bone nourishment and tlesh-produc-
ing power. and yields from 80 to $50
bushels per acre, or about double the
best Russian spells. 1t is a beardless
wheat of large size and fixed hull.
especially fitted to production in the
arid. semi-arid or irrigated country
west of the Tooth meridian, including
all of the elevated plateau Of the
Rocky mountains and the valleys of
the mountain ranges.
AS supplementing it, Professor Buff
fun has succeeded in producing a
new variety of alfalfa, possessing the
quality of the best known alfalfas as
balancer ration, but having an in
creased rapidity and weight of growth
that will give yield of one to two
ana a half tons All acre. This new
alfalfa has reached IA height of nine
feet i'll single season, and will
easily enable four cuttings year.
instead of the present practice of
three. Alfalfa has a minimum ton
value OF around S., and there are mil
hons OF acres of it in the part of the
west described, so that the addition
OF only one ton per acre, if this new
variety were exclusively grown, would
mean tive times as many millions of
dollars as there are acres, earned by
the farmers every year.

Why the Paper Keeps Coming.

Manhattan Record:
We were asked this week by de-
linquent subscriber why we kept on
sending the paper after the subscrip-
ton date expired, Every weekly
newspaper in towns of this size are
forced to do this. Should we stop
subscriptions when the time expires
nine times out of ten the subscriber
would give us "calling down" for
insinuating that his credit was not
good. Rather than cast reflection
on the honesty of the subscriber to
to pay a small debt, it is next to
necessity for the home paper to con-
tinue sending the paper after the time
has expired. 1t is not necessary for
the city dailies or weeklies to follow
this rule, as their subscribers live at
q distance and are not the personal
friends, as is the case with majority
OF our subscribers. Our subscribers
should deem it an honor to know that
we do not doubt their integrity and
continue to send them the paper after
the time has expired. Should any de-
sire their paper discontinued, thew
should notify us and remit to date if
they have not already done so.

MARDI GRAS
Will Be Celebrated in Shreveport on an
Elaborate Scale.

It is safe to say that Mardi Gras will
be celebrated in Shreveport on Tuesday,
February II, on an elaborate scale. In
deed the programme has been enlarged
to meet the anticipations of the gentle
men who are managing this demonstra-
ton, which Is warranted by the gener-
Gus responses of busineuss men and
others who are interested in giving
Shreveport the most favorable of widest
publicity.
The demonstration next Tuesday IS
the forerunner of greater events in the
future. There is no reason why Shreve-
port should not have its annual Mardi
Gras celebration. From what is pro-
grammed there will be surprises most
agreeable Not only will maskers be
encouraged on the streets during the
day, but there will be a grand demon
stration at night when subjects will be
exhibited to the people. The day is to
be observed enthusiastically.

of F. E. and c. y. of A.


Died at his home near Ida, La, Mr..
Joel A. Atkins, January 7, 1000.
AS God in his allwise majesty saw fit
to take from the ranks of the F. E. and
c. y of A., our beloved brother, Joel
A. Atkins, who was loyal member un-
til about two years of illness he passed
from time to eternity. We regret very
much the loss of our brother, and our
tenderest sympathy goes out to his be
reaved family, who survive him, are his
wifwe, three, sons and two daughters.
He was member of the Baptist
church, and his parting words were thai
he saw his way clear and that he was
going to rest.
He was sixty-seven years of age, wal
Confederate soldier in the civil war
Friends and relatives gathered a
Bethsaida cemetery where his remain
were laid to rest. The snow had cas-
her mantle of gloom over all earth, ant
it seemed, despite the frozen snow I'm
der foot, there was large crowd gath
cred to pay their last tribute to Our be
loved brother and friend.

Observation-Disclosures
Ovated by Ten Thousands of His Eel
low Citizens-He Is Welcomed iwth
Music and Cheers.

New Orleans States: J. F, Shipp, the
Tennessee sheriff who was sentenced
by the United States Supreme Court for
contempt, completed his FIVE months
term of service on Saturday and re-
turned to his home at Chattanooga on
Sunday His return was characterized
by such a demonstration as Chatta-
nooga has seldom witnessed, ten thous-
and of his fellow citizens gathering at
the station to greet him and with music
and cheers to bid him welcome.
1t was well that this should be so.
Captain Shipp was compelled by the
Supreme Court to languish in prison
for months as vicarious sufferer for
the sin-if sin it may be called-of his
people, and for the blunder of the Su-
preme Court in intervening to stay the
execution of righteous judgment pro
nounced by sovereign State. The in
cident of ten thousand men, women and
children in one of the most enlightened
and progressive of American cities,
gathering to do honor to one whom the
highest court in the land has attempted
to dishonor, is one that excites strange
reflections in the mind of a free Ameri-
can citizen.
In monarchical Europe such things
are not uncommon when despotic gov
ernnents seeks to crush out the spirit
of freedom among the peoeple. There
the government, not being in the hands
of the peoeple but being administered
by hereditary rulers, is looked upon as
being something quite apart from the
masses and indeed antagonistic TO them.
In the United States the government is,
or ought to be, of the people, by the
people and for the people; which, if it
were really true, would result in rever-
ence for the courts, respect for author
ity and confidence i'll those who enact,
administer and interpret the laws.
The demonstration at Chattanooga on
Sunday, while natural, and, as we be-
lieve, praiseworthy, is nevertheless an
omnous portent of the growing change
in the attitude of the masses towards
what is fast coming to be recognized ir
this country as the distinctly governing
class. The American people did moi
overthrow the despotisfn of kings ii
order to establish upon the ruins there
of judicial desppotism; and the frantic
welcome accorded Sheriff Shipp was
equally a protest against the oppression
and injustice of tyrannous COURT Il
would be we'll If those who minister al
the affairs of justice everywhere should
ponder we'll the deep significance of the
welcome which Chattanooga extended
to Sheriff Shipp. Happy indeed woult
they be to learn a lesson from the con.
trast presented by the i1nnuring of Z
citizen by the vengeance of the court OF
the one hand, and on the other, the
crowning of him with enduring garland'
Of peoples love because he suffered
unjust punishment

SCHOOL BOOK COMMITTEE
Has Closed Its Exercises and Discov-
cred Nothing Sensational


New Orleans Picayune. The School
Book Investigating Committee has
closed its exercises and discovered moth
ing sensational It was not expected that
anything Of the sort would be disclosed
or that anything improper had occurred
There were two chief charges against
the work of the School Committee. One
of these was that great number of
changes in the text books had been
made, and the other was that books by
Northern sectional authors rejecting on
the. Southern people for the war of the
early sixties had been imposed on our
Southern children.
Both charges were true, and they are
easily explained without the necessity Of
imagining graft. The simple fact is that
when a new administration of public
functionaries gets into place and power
it must demonstrate its ability and zeal
By doing something. and that Is usually
to cast out and cart away as much as
possible of the rubbish left behind b.
the old administration which had been
displaced. and from the new point of
view all that remains is rubbish.
As to the next charge, which is made
chiefly by the "Old Confederates' and
sympathizers, the 'old fellows" who
are rapidly passing away, do not realize
how little they count for at this late
date of fifty years after that war. The
new idea is to tget rid as completely as
possible of those ancient memories, and
one of the most effective means is to cut
them out of the school books and teach
other notions in their stead. The idea
is growing everywhere that the National
Government is great paternap institu-
ton and that the national treasury is
the source from which enormous bene-
fits for all favored locations and persons
are to be dispensed
President Taft has told our people re-
peatedly that sectionalism keeps them
out of great many of these benefits
and, therefore, it is not strange that all
sorts of efforts should be made to re-
lieve the South of that disability. But
our New South friends should under
stand that they can not so easily get rid
| of the sectional memories that are in the
way Of falling into President Taffs el.
ephantine BOSOM They may reform
the school books to the last degree ane
| tear down all the Confederate mont
ments and dump them into the river
and yet the negro would remain to tel
of the sectional war of half century
ago Can they efface him or blot hin
/ out of the visible record? 1t is at tn
price of accepting him as political AM
social equal Then we can put up

| It may not be out of place to say
word about public business performe

members serve gratuitously. Such com
mittees are commonly dominated by

giving little attention to the business

ed If every member could be paid fo
his work and be held strictly respons

New Orleans Picaytine: The women
of New Orleans are among the best in

their high qualities by the way in which
they censored an immoral play yester-

a dance was introduced that passed the
bounds of decency Being a matinee

quality of the dance began TO develop,
the women of the audience refused to
endure or excuse it for a moment
With one movement they rose from
their seats and left the house in virtu-

That is the story that comes to the
Picayune, and it reflects the highest
