PLANTERS BURN LEAVES
OFF CANE.

St. Martinville, La. Dec. s.
Fire is being set to the cane fields
in an effort to save the crop. The
idea is taken from a suggestion
made by a lecturer Of the Louisi.
ana State University in a recent
speech to the cane growers of this
section. Albert Levert Of the st
John plantation has put the sug
gestiOn to test. and is favorabl, !,
impressed with the result. which
saves the labor and time Of cut
ing the leaves.
Mr.. Levert had his force set fire
to a section Of the field. and in a
few minctes the leaves are burn.
ed. and the cane is ready for the
cutting machine. This saves time
expense. and the crop, where
haste is desired. After the leaves
are burned and the cane is cut
it is picked up by an automatic
loader and loaded into wagons
The cane snffers very little dam

CAFFERY A HALL ORATOR.

The appearance of Mr.. Donald
sen Caffery on the rostrum OF the
Good Government League, will
doubtless awaken some painful
memories among the friends OF
Judge Hall I'm North and Central
Louisiana. Mr. Caffery is a
fluent and forceful speaker, but
It can hardly be disputed that his
open advocacy Of the cause Of
Hon. Thedore Wilkinson in 1903
was disastrous to the hopes of the
Plaquemines candidate in those
sections Of the State lying above
Red River.
The reason was not hard TO find.
Mr.. Caffery's stellar appearance
on the stage of politics as q Re-
publican candidate for governor
against Hon. w. w. Heard. Of Un-
ION, the regular Democratic nomi-
nee. He has always been disaf
fected to the regular Democratic
administration. and went the
length of opposing the Democra-
tic nominee IN a regular State
election.
There are hundreds of persons
in Alexandria, Monroe and other
North Louisiana centels today
who recall the wave of indigna-
tor that swept over the people
Of. that section when they were
asked by Mr.. Wilkinson's cam
paign managers to accept their
Democracy from Mr.. Caffery.
They regarded his appearance as
a Wilkinson orator justly so,
as an attack on Democratic su-
premacy in Louisiana. And they
resented It with their votes.
Judge Hall does not seem to
have profited by Mr. Wilkinson's
experience. He will discover
and regret his error, perhaps, but
then it will be too late.-Winn-
field Comrade.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE FACTS.

California IS the sixth state tc
grant full suffrage to women
The first state in the Union to tax:
this step was Wyoming, in 1869
There was no other addition t.
the states where women might
vote until 1893 when Colorado
granted them the franchise. In
1896 two states, Utah and Idaho
passed suffrage amendments 70
their constitutions. The state of
Washington had a vote on the
question at the election of 1910
and gave the vote to women, al
though the measure had been
twice defeated in that state-in
1889 and again in 1S9S-once by
10000 and later by 5000.
The state of Kansas will submit
the question to its voters this fall
a resolution having passed both
houses of the State legislature
last February ealing for pop
ular vote on the suffrage amend
ment. In that state women have
enjoyed the right to vote on pub
fc school questions since 1861,
eight years before Wyoming gave
women universal suffrage. Mu-
nicipal suffrage was granted in
1887, and "bond suffrage in
1908. The legislature Of Kansas
defeated a resolution granting
full suffrage in 1909.
At the election Of 1910. when
WASHINGTON voted in favor of wo-
man suffrage, the proposal was
defeated in the neighboring state
Of Oregon. It was also lost on
the same day in South Dakota
and Oklahoma. The constitu-
tional conventions of both Art
zona and New Mexico were urged
to insert the suffrage provision,
but in both gases It was voted
down.-New York Times.

THE BUSINESS DOCTOR.

My dear sir, said the Business
Doctor, l have been employed by
the butcher, the baker, the candle
stick maker and all the other fe!-
lows who buy and sell for gain,
and like you. they are all pessis-
mistic about their own particular
line. Some maker of aphorisms
has said that a pessimist is man
who Of two evils chooses both. but
You merchants. all with one ac-
cord. insist that you are in the
very worst line there is on earth.
This very fact establishes that
you know your own business and
know little or nothing of other
lines. You have learned the
handicaps, the pitfalls and he
chances you are taking in your
own line, but do not bear in mind
that every bus has these same
dangers, only being on the out
side you do not realize them.
This is the reason that Of late
years it is unusual to see sons
succeed the father in the same
business Losing sight OF these
things. fathers are trying to edu-
cate their sons in some other line
than that in which they themselves
have made success.
This whole theory is wrong. No
man should ever let setbacks and
discouragements lessen his en-
thusiasm. just because condi-
tions in your particular line seem
little hard need not condemn the
bus 1t is only natural, for
the reasons | have just 81 n you,
for any man to consider his own
business the worst ever; and yet
to man who analyses conditions
with a view to improvement, who
studies the needs Of his trade that
he may better assort his stock.
who has before him an ideal and
strive to reach It. who puts his
well earned knowledge to work
for him, has a busy and prospe-
rous condition confronting him.
No real busy man is ever die
couraged. It is only when a man
gets idle lays down on the job,
that he loses heart and is incline !,
to complain. If things seem dull,
put these d:scouragements aside
and devote your mind and time
to some scheme and plan where
by you may discount these dis
couraging conditions. Don't
think of jumping into some other
line, for the allurement there is
simpy the attraction of the un-
known. If you can not over
come those which lie in the
path Of business the details Of
which are strange to you.
There is no business on earth in
which some man is not getting

threw till the moon was low in

was split in two. And there
wasn't a thing at which to howl

ma whole pages devoted to the
great possibilities of Louisiana

that we are alike cotton produc-

an attractive story and it is all
