Corn Clubs and in other work; but
it must be remembered that the
boy who does not win prize
no tfailed if he has made an earnest
effort. Such a boy may get more
real good out of a hard struggle
against circumstances than some
more fortunate boy who beats him
all to pieces in the results he OBJ

The announcement that the Pull
man Car Company has decided to
abide by the order Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and fix a low.
er charge for upper berths than fol-
the lower ones will begratifying news
to the travelling public. There never
was reason why as much should
have been charged for the upper
berths as the lower ones, as the shelf
like arrangements, dignified under the
name OF upper berths, are in no sense
to be compared for comfort and con-
venience with the lower compart-
ments.
Travellers never take upper berths
by choice, but when they are CON-
PEELED to be content with upper
berths upon crowded sleeper they
naturally feel that they have been
imposed upon when they are made to
pay the same price as if they enjoyed
a lower berth. 1t is probable that the
cheapening OF the upper berths will
cause few people to take such berths
by preference, but when lower berths
are no longer to be had, and upper
berths must be accepted, it will at
least be some satisfaction to feel that
there has been some saving in cost.

The Amendments Suit the People.

The fifteen CONSTITUTE na
Amendments submitted to the PEG.
pie we're recognized by the grea,
majority as entirely proper fol-
their endorsement, and they have
approved them by an indubitable
vote of four to one.
1t is the feight of absurdity and
the climax of folly to speak of any
portion of them as vicious, and the
work of any man, or clique or set
OF men. They are laws proposed
by majority of nine-tenths of the
Representatives whom the people
elected and sent to Baton Rouge
TO make laws for them. These men
were selected because they were
representative men, above the av-
erage citizen in Intelligence, and
worthy OF the trust and confidence
bestowed upon them by the home
people. They did not make these
laws they simply discussed and
approved them, and, after putting
them regularly through the first,
second and third readings before
the two branches of the Legisla-
ture, they submitted them to the
people for their approval or rejec-
ton. They were recognized as
measures strictly in accord with
the will and wishes of the people
and the people approved them, and
that is all there is to it. Neither
Can it be said that it is a case of
city against the country, because
the amendments were all carried
by the country vote, and they
would be laws if the city of New
Orleans had not voted on them at
all.
The amendments having been
distinctly carried both by country
and city vote, it is high time for
all kickers to subside, or at least
they should let up on the silly rot
about these amendments being |
foisted on the people by any man
Or set of men.

To Kiln Cut Worms.

G. N. Baldwin writing to the
Farm and Ranch from Eratb,
Texas, gives the following formula
for killing those destructive pests
of the garden, cut worms.
"For the benefit of those who
are troubled with cut worms in
their gardens, and l think that In
cludes about every body in this
section, this season, l give a
remedy:
Mix Paris green with wheat
bran, one pound of Paris green to
so pounds of bran. Sprinkle
along the rows or over the beds
nd your trouble in this respect
viii he over"
This remedy is simple one and
easily obtained. 1t should be ap-
piled by every farmer who culti-
Yates a garden.

Turnips may be stored about
the same as sweet potatoes. The

they are covered with sand they
will rarely ever wither, but if they
get very warm will start to grow
and become pithy, rendering them
undesirable for table use. This
crop may be kept banked up"
out of doors if there is not room
in the cellar. To do this success
fully, pile them upon some dry
