much as the same stuff would bring at fe'ah
in the same city.
An interesting side line that has developed
in connection with twentieth century trucking
is the canning and preserving industry. we
see this tendency exemplided IN two ways.
First there is disposition on the part Vi
the big canning firms that put up" tomatoes,
corn etc. to raise their own vegetables ana
In not a few instances in late years the can
ming factories have been moved Ito the neids
to be near the source OF supply. Secondly,
and more significant, is the disposition OF
truckers to put up in glass or tins their sur
plus products and to market them direct The
farmers wife and daughters, from time out OF
mind have been stocking the home larder
for winter use in this manner, but latteriy
they have taken to picking and preserving
for the great outside public as well. In many
instances where the responsibilities have be-
come too much for the women folk on the
truck farm outside help is called in-school
girls eager to earn vacation money; summer
boarders who are willing thus to pay their
way; and factory folk from the neighboring
towns who are out of work temporarily, oW-
ing to the summer shut downs"
Time was when the average farmers wife
was wont to declare that 1t did not pay to
can OF preserve for the market, however much
pride she might take in such work for the
household and however much qualification she
might feel when her jams and stewed fruits
took the prizes at the county fair All this
stigma of unproftableness has passed how
ever When the public will pay twenty to
thirty-five cents for small glass OF jelly and
as high as one dollar for quart Jar of pre-
~ fu N fall haiu
a thankless Job even though 1t be a hot task
on a summer day. The truckers have discoV-
cred that the public will always pay good and
even fancy prices for these "by-products' IL
they can have the assurance that they are
getting pure products OF superior quality put

an especial consideration if man is at
tempting to operate truck patch single
handed. More important yet, the trucker who
is able to lay out some money on his prop
erty will have some sort Of drainage and ir-
rigating system which will carry off surplus
water in the case of torrential showers and
will, on the other hand, enable him to water
his gardens" when a rain famine comes. He
will have more or less pretentious green
houses that will enable him to raise early
vegetables and to give his garden stun an
early start under glass. And he may even
have facilities for raising some products in
shade or partial shade And there might
be continued almost indefinitely the enumera
ton OF the innovations that have bettered
modern trucking conditions, all the way up to
the facilities on those large truck farms
where we nnd miniature or narrow gauge
railways traversing the trucking area and af-
fording the means of transferring the vege-
tables berries etc, in one handling from the
pickers to the boats or railroad cars that are
to convey them to market
A notable characteristic of modern methods
of trucking Is the extent to which specialize
ton is being practiced. We still have, OF
course, farms by the thousand where every
thing from onions to pumpkins are raised, but
we also find, to an increasing extent, progress
sive men who are devoting their whole invest
ment and energy to one product and endeavor-
ing to secure that extra quality which special
ization produces and which always means
higher prices when the ultimate consumers
learn of its presence. This explains the "let-
tuce farms" where nothing but lettuce Is cul-
tivated and the celery farms" in Michigan
and elsewhere that concentrate on this capri
cious product and the watermelon patches
of the southland so on through a long list.
AS sequel to this era of specialization has
come the practice of many truckers to dispose
of their products direct to the consumers. OF
course this means added profits. for not only
does It cut out the middleman's margin but In
many instances the trucker finds discriminate
ing city folks willing to pay him more than
the prevailing retail price in order to obtain
products Of exceptional quality and which they
can depend upon being fresh Some truckers

General Stanley rode up and ordered
us to stop the panic-stricken men

stop them was impossible, and no

tide of battle was turned.
After awhile the fire slackened
little. as the rebels had ceased COM

troops, but the bitches were still filled
with men who were unable to stir, as
we kept poking our guns over the
works and shooting straight down at
them. After awhile the rebels be-

and as they could not retreat, they
surrendered and came over the works
by hundreds, and we're sent TO the

Truckers are working to solve the problem now

they are striving for economies in other direc-

An Interesting Masonic Anecdote.

L 80 --~-~~O@.->
This incident happened during
one of the fiercest and most stub
bornly contested battles of the
Civil War. The contending arm
les were worn out and the heat
was SO intense that they were COM
PEELED to rest, from sheer exhaus-
ton.
On this day the Confederates
asked permission of the Union
Commander to hold Masonic
funeral in the little cemetery near
which the Northerners were en-
camped. Permission was given
and the solemn procession, bear
ing at its head the body of the de-
parted brother, proceeded from
the Confederate ranks toward the
little burying-ground on the hill.
AS it passed the Union ranks some
of the Union soldiers fell into line
and those of the Blue and the
Gray, deadly foes but few hours
before, but now bound by a. COM
mon tie, marched silently. side by
side, to that homely little ceme-
terry. There the last sad duties
were performed and the fallen
brother laid to rest. Its task CON-
pleted, the procession again wend-
ed its way over the hill and the
brethren parted, the Blue and the
Gray each their respective ranks;
for a moment brothers, but now
foes once more.
There was a young officer in
Union ranks who witnessed this
extraordinary happening. He was
not member of the Craft but he
was deeply impressed with this
manifestation of the strength of
the Masonic bond, and he vowed
that if God spared him alive out
of that awful He'll, he too would
become member of that glorious
brotherhood.
And he did; and for forty years
he has been jealous and faithful
worker for the Craft. Venerable
and venerated, he is no other than
our past master and for many
years our honored. treasurer, "Old
man Riley" as he is affectionately
called by the "Boys." He never
misses a lodge meeting and he has
lived to bestow upon his now gray
haired son the purple of the East,
and he also, like his father, has
been .tried, never denied, and
ready to be tried again" Tyler

may know its contents:
JUDGE HALLS LETTER TO HENRY
BERNSTEIN.
Monroe, La, Aug. 7, 1911.
Henry Bernstein. Esq. Monroe. La.
Dear Henry:-If you have not
already done so, please write to
Mr.. kirkpatrick, Homer, La, and
urge him to do what he can and
to begin now. He could help a
great deal if he would.
McLendon's friends do not seem
to be doing anything for me over
there.
A letter from you to the regis
trars and game wardens in other
parishes would do good.
Yours, L. E. HALL.
GUILTY OF GRAVE ERROR, SAYS I'D.
These explanations may be cited
In mitigation of Judge Halls let
ter, as we'll as the fact that at that
time the Governors game wardens
had not been "as great stencil in
the nostrils of the people" as they
are today; but they do not excuse
him. We still believe in the old
doctrine that you cannot touch
pitch and not be defiled." The
game wardens are the most often
sive creatures of most offensive
administration, the corner stone of
the machine; and those who see
that the hope and future of Lou
isiana rest on the destruction of
the corrupt and corrupting poll
tics that have recently held sway
over the State, are unanimous in
their demand for the disarmament
and dispersion of these political
janissaries. We are not likely to |
get rid of them, or to cure the po-
litical evils that exist by letters
asking directly or indirectly the |
votes of the game wardens, regis
trars or any of the immense and |
hated army of the ring. Judge
Hall was guilty of grave error
when he asked this aid of Henry
Bernstein. But it is mockery to
hear Judge Halls opponents for
the Governorship seeking to raise
this point against him-they who
are begging for the votes and in
fuence of machine and ring and
who have divided the forces be-
tween them Editorial in New
Orleans Times Democrat, Aug. %.
- Judge Hall should come down."
is the expression often heard on
the streets of Ruston, since the
publication of the Hall Bernstein
letter, wherein Judge Hall asked
that the registrars of voters and i
game wardens be lined up for him.
Many assert that the mere fact of
Judge Hall having asked the sup
port OF the game wardens and reg
istrars might be excusable-though
that is bad enough when it is con-
sidered that he is now lighting
with all his power those same
