Mr.. Carpenter, representing the AgFi-
cultural Department of the Missouri-Pa-
cific-Iron Mountain Railway system, Wis
tied st. Joseph last week for the purpose
Of interesting the people of Tensas in
truck growing, an industry heretofore
unknown to this section.
Mr.. Carpenter knows all about the
truck business and talked most enter
tainingly on the subject.
ST have visited" said Mr.. Carpenter,
chose sections of Mississippi and Louis
lana along the line of the Illinois Central
Railroad where the business for growing
truck for the northern markets is being
conducted on such large scale and with
large profits to the growers. 1t is prob
able that few people in this part Of Louis
lana have given any thought to this great
industry, which has been built up to its
present proportions by the joint efforts
of the people of those sections and OF the
Illinois Central"
''Some idea Of the magnitude Of this
I business, - continued Mr. Carpenter,
'swill be conveyed when | tell you that
during the past shipping season in ore
day so carloads of truck were shipped
out of Crystal Springs, Miss, alone, and
the average daily shipments amounted
to 80 cars"
ssOf course continued Mr.. Carpen-
ter, this great business could not be
carried on without adequate Transports
ton facilities which are furnished by the
/. G. Railroad through fast freight trains
made up of refrigerator cars"
Mr.. Carpenter is very much impressed
with the adaptability Of the lands in
Tensas, particularly along the lake fronts,
for truck-growing, and comparing them
with the sections Of Mississippi above re-
ferred to believes our lands to be incom-
parably superior
Your lands are the most fertile on
earth, " safl Mr.. Carpenter, "and on ac-
count of the protection from frost afford
ed by your lakes and water-courses, you
should be able to market truck in the
northern markets at least two weeks in
advance of the truck-growers on the |.
c. lines. OF course. rapid transportation
is essential to successful truck growing
and that will be available to your people
next season. Before December LIST, the
Iron Mountain and the Frisco system
will both be operating through trains
from st. Louis to New Orleans through
Tsnsas parish and the railroad manage
ment proposes to do all. in its power t
build up great trucking industry in thi
section.
"We PROPOSE" said Mr.. Carpenter
''to cooperate in every way with TIN
people in this section in the development
OF this, to them, new industry. With eas.
and quick access to all the great center
in the north, with soil and climate un
surpassed on the globe for the purpose

that the rightly reared, normal boy
will not become a drunkard under
any form of State law. After all, It
is the training Of the child that tells.
You can train horse to waltz II
you have the patience, the tact and
the kindness. II is as sure as the
sun in the heaven that two good and
tactful parents, willing to keep in
finite watch against wrong ideas and
to take infinite trouble to impart
right ones, can train normal boy or
girl, beginning about the fourth
year, so that absolute adherence OF
the drinking habit is established.
The fact remains that this is being
done, and the result is the countless
host OF the American people who
never were, never VIII be intern
perate. And with the growth of
morality the number of conscientious
parents increases. There really is no
patent process for making men good.
There is no wholesale cure for any

CONCERNING sYNDIoATEs.

A syndicate, says one OF our ex-
changes, may be a spirit of health
or goblin damn'd." When 1t is got
up to raise and maintain the price
of Brazil coffee, of which so much
is consumed in this country, It is the
latter. Congressman denounce it,
demand that It be investigated, and
the enormities of the American
exposed. But a French
English syndicate organized for the
purpose of financing the cotton crop
of the South-to enable the pro-
ducers to warehouse their cotton and
keep it off the market until manu-
facturers shall be compelled to pay
for 1t a price satisfactory to the
producers-is welcomed as a spirit
Of health" The men who rail at the
syndicates which boosted the price
Of coffee to help out the Brazilian
producers will take this cotton
syndicate to their hearts. From which
Il appears that there are benevolent
as well as malignant syndicates. To
distinguish between them, find out
who is benefited.

MANY PRESENT.
Enthusiastic Meeting of
the Catholic Convert
League.

The general meeting of the Cath
ohc Convert League, held Thursday
evening at the knights of Columbus
hall, was we'll attended. From the
reports of the various committees
the necessity of an organization of
this nature is unquestionable. Sew
eral important questions of interest
to Catholics and the welfare of the
Catholic church were carefully dis
cussed. One of the most important
was the arrangement of series of
public lectures to be delivered in
this city in some public hall or
theater during the approaching win
ter. A committee, consisting of
Messrs. Frank A. Geher, Thomas
Behan and John A. Cassidy, was ap-
pointed to make the necessary in
vestigations and report to the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the league.
Concerning the distribution of
Catholic literature the committee de-
sires to announce that II the name
and address of anyone seeking Cath
Ollie newspapers or magazines be
forwarded to the Secretary of the
league, DR.. B. ]. O'Connor. 2407

also requests that Catholics shall
forward 10 the knights of Columbus

literature in the shape of Catholic
magazines, newspapers or books that
they would desire to have dis
tributed.

TRAINING THAT TELLS.

The struggle over the sixty years
old prohibitory law in Maine Is
worth bordering in serious thought.
Why this eternal question: No de-
cent citizen favors the fostering OF
drunkenness. The question there
fore relates to personal self-restraint
The very vast majority of our citizens
pass their lifetime under control OF
self-restraint. BY sound judgment
they avoid the hahitual use of all
stimulants whatsoever. They master
the appetites by the power OF the

HELPING THE PRISONER.

In his address delivered at the
conference of the American Institute
Of Criminal Law and Criminology,
Gov. Foss recommended important
changes in prison life. He would
abolish city prisons with their dark,
cherries interiors and would build
future houses of correction in the
country, where the sun and wind
can get in, and where all men who
do not forfeit that right can work in
the open fields" He further de-
clares in favor of giving value to
the prisoners labor, and If he earns
a profit let 1t be devoted to the
needs of their families or to their
own welfare.
Commenting on the foregoing the
Providence Visitor says the Cover
nor's recommendations are worthy
of consideration. They are sane and
feasible. They afford an opportu-
nifty to benefit the prisoner in health
and in future prospects, while they
do not necessarily deprive the law
Of it's sanction. Prison life can very
we'll be corrective as we'll as
punitive. 1t net not be deemed a
necessary punishment to break down
the health of the unfortunates; 1t
ought to be possible, while exercising
proper restraint, to restore and
preserve their health. It is not alto
gether sentimental to see something
pitiable in the prisoners plight. The
jail opens to receive him; society
shuts him out; every mans hand is
against him. His term over he
comes out disheartened, broken in
spirit. He knows he has little to
hope for from society and he turns
against 1t more and more until he
arrives at that almost hopeless
state-the hardened criminal
A serious objection, however, to
the many proposed plans for prison
reform is found in the danger of
SHINING by an excess of kindness. If
prisons We're made according to the
expressed wishes of some reformers
they would cease to be deterrent
force against crime. Whatever
changes are made should be the out
come of sane and sober judgment,
and not the result of impulsive
sentiment.

FALL MEET.
CIassiest Horses In Amer
lea Now at Churchill
Downs.

With the fleetest and classiest racers
in America entered in the stake events
of the Churchill Downs eighteen-day
meeting, which begins next Monday,
it may be stated with assurance that
the greatest fall season of racing ever
known to these parts is in prospect.
The feature on the opening day will
be the st. Leger Handicap, for two
year-olds and upward, $1,000 added,
at mile and one-sixteenth. The
Golden Rod Stakes, for two-year-olds,
1000 added, at six furlongs, will be
run on Thursday, September 2S.
On Saturday, September 80, the
Falls City Handicap, for three-year-
olds and upward, 81, 900 added, at one
mile and one furlong will be decided.
Thursday, October 5, the Cherokee
Stakes will be run. This is for three
year-olds and upward, 81, 900 added
at one mile and twenty yards. Satur-
day, October z, will be run the most
valuable race of 1911-the Kentucky
Endurance Stakes. for three-year-olds
and upward, $4,000 added by the
Louisville Racing Association, and a
gold cup worth 81 900 donated by the
Kentucky Racing Commission. The
distance is four miles.
The Shawnee Handicap, for two
year-olds, $1,000 added, at six fur
longs, will be run on October IA. The
Iroquois Handicap, for two-year-olds,
81 900 added, at six furlongs, will be
run on October IA.
With practically every turf star on
this continent eligible for these
events it is certain that the keenest
interest prevails among turf fol-
lowers throughout the length and
breadth of this country, and that when
the curtain goes up here all admirers
of the thoroughbred will be watching.
