see, recently voted unanimously for a two hun
dred million dollar bond issue. These commits
sioners are of the rank and file Of the old farm
ers of that country and six years ago, when a SINH
lar proposition was before them, they almost
unanimously opposed this method Of raising the
money. In the interim the interest necessarily
created in the question by its having been sub
mitted to the commissioners, has led to a revul-
sion of public opinion and to the conclusion that
during their own lives they would prefer to
have some of the good things that good roads
bring. 1t is said that over four millions Of dol
lars have been issued for road purposes during
the past ten years in the Tennessee counties Of
Sullivan, Green, Hawkins, Cooke, Granger,
Claiborne, Union, Anderson, Severn, Roane and
Bradley. In Knox County, Tennessee $500, 600
in direct cash taxes have been expended on the
betterment Of roads during the past ten years.
These improvements in road building are in
that part of Tennessee considered the least able
to expand money, having the least accumulated
wealth. 1t certainly ought to be lession to US
here in Louisiana, where we have every advant-
age that our planet affords: where every pros
pect pleases and only our roads are vile.

Progressive St. Bernard.

ANOTHER instance of the progressive methods
Of our sister parish is shown by the recent
movement inaugurated in St. Bernard for the
purpose of securing an increased population. A
party of land owners having property just be-
low the New Orleans line have divided some
twelve squares of land up into lots, which will
be sold on easy terms to those desiring to locate
in that section. As the American Sugar Re-
fnery and the Chalmette Cypress Company are
in the immediate vicinity their employees will be
afforded an opportunity of securing homes near
their work. As the big land holdings in Louisi-
ana and particularly in lower Louisiana, begin
to break up into small parcels the state will then
take it's place among the foremost in the Union
in its ability to produce splendid crops along all
tropical and semi-tropical lines and it needs but
the division of the land into small enough pieces
to insure individual care to be able to produce
results that will surprise even the most sanguine.

Good Roads in GERMANY.

The construction and maintenance of streets and
roads is a matter of great public interest in Germany.
From every standpoint-military, agricultural CONNER
cial, hygienic, economic the question of good roads is
deemed of the utmost Importance. Every Encouragement
is gwen those experimenting along these lines and manv
improvements originating here have been adopted in other
parts OF the world. One of the matters now receiving
the special attention of German scientists, highway au-
thorities and engineers is the treatment of streets and
roads for the purpose of %obviating dust and mud.
Various combinations of oil and salt have been used
IN Germany to sprinkle the streets and roads, but as the
effect was only ~transitory this method was not considered
a solution Of the problem Of maintaining hard, clean and
sanitary highways. Experiments have also been made
with coal tar. and some Of these preparations applied to
the surface Of roads have kept the dust settled for longer
periods Of time than by former methods. Although rec
ognized as an Improvement, the expense connected with
the employment of these preparations has stood as an
objection to their general use, and experiments were con-
tinued for the purpose Of producing a more ideal and
cheaper composition for treating roads. From Daily Con-
sular Reports.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1910.
The 1910 Carnival in New Orleans.

THE Mardi Gras festivities began in New
Orleans on Monday, February 7, with the ar
rival of Rex during the early afternoon. Mon
day evening Proteus paraded, the subject being
Astrology, many beautiful floats illustrating the
subject. Tuesday morning was the Rex parade,
Freaks of Fable being the subject, which was
extremely beautiful. Tuesday night was the
Comus parade and ball, Comus using Mahomet
as the subject for one Of the most beautiful
pageants seen in the city. Although rain
threatened at times, the parades were not mar
red by any downfall, as was the case last year.
The crowds of visitors to the city are esti-
mated to have been as large, if not larger than
ever before and the hotels we're strained to their
utmost to accommodate their guests. The street
crowds were all good natured and altogether the
Mardi Gras of 1910 will pass down to posterity
as among the best. Mr.. Hunter C. Leake of the
Illinois Central Railway was King of the Carni-
val and Miss Ruth Bush, Queen.
As an indication of the many people out in
New Orleans on Mardi Gras day the cash re-
ceipts of the street railways are quoted by the
PICAYUNE in an editorial. These amounted to
$40, 00C, showing that four hundred thousand
persons rode on the street cars of New Orleans
on that day alone. This large business is said
to be the greatest ever done by the Railways
Company in any other single day. Some com
plant was made about the fact that the restau-
rants raised prices during the Carnival and it is
said that the New Orleans Exchanges will take
the matter up and endeavor to put an end to the
practice in the future, as doing much harm to
the city.
1t is stated that the New Orleans Shriners
have purchased the complete Rex Parade and
will use it as one Of the features Of entertain
ment at the Shriners' Convention to be held in
New Orleans during April. the procession to be
held at night.

Farmers Organizations.

OF late Western Louisiana seems to have
been taking the lead in farmers organizations
and among the leaders has been right along that
sterling journal, the CROWLEY SIGNAL. The
depressed condition Of the rice market has led
for some months to the contemplation Of great
er variation in the industries on the part of the
state and efforts have been there made to in
clude considerable planting Of Irish potatoes
with the view of working up a sufficiently large
business in these tubers to justify securing
proper agencies to control their transportation
and sale.
On Bayou Lafourche from Thibodaux down
to Lockport the Acadian farmers Of that coun-
try have been planting Irish potatoes for now
near on to hundred years. Before the civil
war they used to send steamboat loads of Irish
potatoes out of Bayou Lafourche, shipping them
to New Orleans. 1t has been an old remark,
oft quoted concerning these Acadian farmers Of
Bayou Lafourche, that their lands have never
been sold out by the sheriff. All sales are the
results Of death, or the partition of the property
in some manner and not the result Of debt that
leads to so many sales elsewhere in the state.
But to return to the Crowley section where
an organization to promote potato culture is now
at work, the SIGNAL states that A. Hallock, who
has been raising half an acre of potatoes, will
now have two acres; that Enos Lowell will do
the same; that Sam Wilder will do the same:
that Charlie Kimberlie will 60 the same and a
dozen others do likewise. This work is said to
be attributable to the Acadia Truck Gardeners
Association and that fifty acres Of potatoes will
be planted in the immediate vicinity Of Crowley
so that they can be shipped away from there in
carload lots. They are making a careful study
of the situation as to competently drain land and
they believe that it is the beginning of a great
advance movement in that section.
In our own Parish of Plaquemines wonderful
strides have been made in recent years along
these same lines and the shipment of vegetables
by the carload has come to be a common thing,
several truck gardeners combining to fill the
cars secured for them. With the business in
creasing each year as it has done and with the
more careful work that our truck gardeners are
putting into the culture, the result of their
greater experience, the more successful are the
ventures proving from an industrial point of
view.

The Good Roads Movement.

IT is said that a little leaven leaveneth the
whole mass. This old aphorism seems emphati-
cally true concerning the Good Roads movement
curing these recent years. The Parish of st.
Bernard, lying contiguous to the city of New
Orleans, has for many years done a large part
OF its market garden transportation over the
public roads of the parish. This led the Parish
of st. Bernard into conspi:uity as the pioneer
parish of this state in earnest, active good roads
work. The Parish of st. Bernard has kept the
work up and is still going on with it and expects
one of these days to have a system of paved
highways that will be a credit then, as nov, to
the parish and to the entire state.
We are led to these e de.tions in noting that

The National Editorial Association.

The twenty-ffth annual convention of the
National Editorial Association was held in New
Orleans last week on February 10, II and IL.
This meeting was of more than usual interest,
being the Silver Anniversary of the organization
of the association, which was effected in New
Orleans in the last year of the Cotton Centen-
NAL Exposition. Hon. A. Nevin Pomeroy of
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, presided over the
meeting and some very interesting papers were
read and discussions had at the various sessions.
One of the most interesting features was the
session held the evening of the 18th, celebrat-
ing the silver anniversary, at which time an oil
portrait of himself was presented to Mr.. B. B.
Herbert of the NATIONAL PRINTER JOURNALIST
of Chicago, the founder of the National Editor
ial Association. The presentation address was
made by Hon. John Dymond, a past president
Of the association, and he was followed by vari-
Gus past presidents, all of whom made reminis-
Genital talks.
On Saturday, after all the papers had been
read the election Of officers for the ensuing year
was taken up, resulting in the unanimous choice
OF president, Mr.. J. P. Baumgartner of Santa
Ana, California; first vice-president r. E. Dow
dell of South Dakota, second vice-president J.
W. Moffett of Indiana, third vice-presidentJ j. B.
Cain of Kansas; corresponding secretary W. F..
Parrot, Waterloo, Iowa; recording secretary R.
H. Walker of Athens, Alabama and treasurer
Will A. Steel Of Seattle, Washington, the latter
three being reelected. The choice of the next
meeting place was left to the executive commit
tee, with indication that it would be somewhere
on the Pacific Coast with a subsequent side to
Honolulu. After adjournment quite a number
of the party left on the fruit steamer Turrialba.
for Panama and Sunday morning the rest of the
party left on the Carriage for the same destina-
ton, the United Fruit Company having put an
extra boat on for the purpose in order to accom-
odate all those wanting to go.

Notice.

The Journal finds it necessary
to say that we will not be able tc
publish lengthy obituary notices.
While we are always willing tc
insert a concise notice of the
deaths occurring in the county,
yet, some of the notices sent us
are too long for publication. We
find it necessary to make this
statement in order to give our
readers a general review of the
happenings in and around town
and throughout the county. Our
columns are crowded every week
and long notices of any character
will have to be returned.
Again, we find it necessary to
state that we do not publish any
thing where the name of the
writer does not accompany the
article. We do not mean that
the name would be published,
but we must know the author be-
fore we insert the article.

RELIEF FOR AGED HORSES
Effective Efforts Put Forth to Secure
Humane Treatment for Friend
of Man.

One Of the pleasant signs Of the
times is the growing disposition, man
ffested In many quarters and through
many agencies to remember the an
cient proverb, that "a merciful man
will be merciful to his beast"
In its efforts to bring about the hu
name disposal of old or wornoui
horses the Boston work horse parade
association is meeting with encour
aging success. the Globe of that city
says. and 1t believes that disabled or
superannuated horses, especially such
as are owned by large concerns and
by city governments. ought not to be
sold.
Many Of the larger corporations
never sell an old or wornout horse
others see that they fall into good
hands when they dispose Of them. and
still others graduate their horses to
lighter work as equine old age comes
on.
There Is an old-age pension scheme
for horses in this country. In several
European countries the problem is
solved by eating the horse-a more
compassionate method of treating
him than keeping him at work until
he drops in his tracks. II that am
cruel am yet merciful," said the Moor
of Venice.

Cont Recognize 1t.

Jackson, Miss, June 20 =
There is one class of insurance
which Commissioner T. M. Hen
ry is not prepared to recognize
in Mississippi, especially after
holding due conference with the
encouragement on the subject,
and that is a matrimonial benefit
association which has applied to
him for license. One or two az
plications have been received for
such license, the plan or basis
|of operation as outlined in the
adopted form of agreement be-
ing to organize all those who are
of marriageable age though not
yet completely mated into sort
of mutual and cooperative con-
cern, whose members would con
tribute to the general funds in
the shape of stated fees. Under
the terms of the proposed agree
ment the insured, at the time OF
his or her marriage is to receive
the sum Of $500 by way of q
starter, for the furnishing OF
their home and other incidentals.
| In fact, it is a movement to
|popularize the estate of matri-
mony and for those who aspire
to enter therein but who are de-
tered from financial inability to
lrender the entry more easy and
attractive. On the ground that
there is nothing in the insurance
laws contemplating such organi-
cations or granting q license,
and believing it against public
policy, Mr.. Henry withheld his
approval.

USE MACHINES FOR JUDGING
Method Recently Devised Would Seem
to Put End to All Possible
Controversy.

For registering the results of ath-
letic contests, the human eye and
voice sometime seem painfully made
quate. Close contests Of this kind are
now judged in some parts of the
world by Judging machines.
One such device. the invention of an
Austrian, is designed to be placed at
the finish line in running race. and
consists of light metal frame par
titioned into two or more divisions,
each about four feet WIDE On top Of
the frame stands small cabinet con-
tanning numbered divisions corre-
spending to the numbers of the
tracks.
The instant the first man passes
through his division shutter falls.
disclosing his track number. The
other numbers are Immediately
locked. except when the machine is
set for final heats. In this case a
small cylinder is attached to the ma
chine. and a hammerhead strikes a
mark on the revolving cylinder as the
men finish. Thus the exact positions
OF all competitors can be told to a
nicely.
The same inventor has originated
an automatic judging machine for bi
cycle races. 1t consists of fine light
metal strips placed in small trench
about two inches wide. which is sunk
across the track at the finish
During the last lap these strips,
which are coated with enamel, are
placed in position by means of a
lever, and the first wheel to cross re-
ceives five marks. In crossing, how
ever. 1t displaces one of the strips.
and the next wheel. therefore, re-
ceives only four marks. and so on
