Every worthy article is sure to have
a. lot of limitations gotten up resembl-
ing it. This seems to be especially
true in the matter of the arguments
for the location of the parish seat.
Welsh advanced as one of the many
strong reasons in favor of locating the
parish seat at Welsh, that she is To-
Gated in the geographical center of the
parish. Realizing that this was an ar.
gutnent that she could not contradict
nor successfully refute, Jennings has
recently been circulating the report,
which she cannot substantiate, that
she is the center OF population, CEN
ter that is constantly changing, and
lays claim to the location of the par.
ism seat on that account. Now our
good friends in Lake Arthur, seem to
have caught, the center of something
fever, and are laying claim for tho
parish seat On tie grounds that Lake
Arthur Is the center of navigation,
an: and imports and and exports This CLAIM,
at least lss The advantage over the
Jennings claim that it is possibly true.
Since claims of this sort have BECOME
the order of the day, why Tot Topsy
come into the race. She Is about the
same distance from the edge of the
parish as our competitors, and is
doubtless the center of the Lumber in
dustrv IN this parish, aud then there
is Lauderdale, another border town
which possibly is the center of the
cotton industry. Come in all YOU
towns on the border, the water is fine.

Jennings advocates are advancing,
as one of their strong arguments for
the location of the parish seat on the
eastern border of the parish, that the
parish seat should be located at Jen.

D. K. READ, EDITOR.

The idea that is being advocated by
Jennings Of locating the parish seat
near the center Of population, rather
than at the geographical center OF the
parish is O. par with the Instructions
given by q farmer to his negro when
he Sent hiln out 10 pillow. In order to
get q straight turrow. the plante: told
Sambo to drive stvuig hit to a COW thht
was grazing in an adjacent pasture
When SamDO came il at noon The
farmer asked how he got along ptGW-
lng. Sambo replied that he had bsen
driving toward that COW all d&y, bit
tie blamed COW kept moving 50 he
never did get his furr0w finished, The
same thing is true Of the centeI O
population it will keep moving u"tu
the parish is pretty thoroughly settled
up, when it will be found to have come
pretty close to the geographical ceAter
Had the negro driven toward tree
or some other stationary object, he
would have succeeded in getting
pretty straight furrow, and when tie
voters OF the parish locate their court
house at station point, like tue cen
ter OF the parish, rather than by rs
movable a thing as the center Of r0po-
lation, they will demonstrate the TACT
that they have chosen far more wisely
than they would should they attempt
to locate it at the center Of population,
which is q point that is constantly III
motion. Place the Court House at
Welsh, the Geographical Center of the
parish, the nearest town TO the center
of Wealth of the parish. and the oaly
town Of the competing three, that will
ever stand a ghost of Il chance Of being
the center Of population, and you will
have choosed wisely.

SATIN BORDERS ON COTToMS
Material, Thus Trimmed, Makes Up
Into Dresses Of the Most Hand
some Description.

Some of the new cotton fabrics for
1912 are beautiful in the extreme, and
lift cotton goods into the realm Of
fine dress. Rich embroidery is used
on them, and one of the new features
is satin stripping or satin bordering.
On some sheer gray voiles, almost
silky in texture, there is broad bor-
der OF gray satin, heavily embroidered
in the same tone. This will make up
into handsome dresses. of which not
even the most elderly or most wealthy
need feel any shame.
More youthful and giddy is a light
cotton fabric with border of satin
sheer in which the motif is stamped
on in gold. purple and other rich col
o.s-a series of large iris in natural
tones.
Solid embroidery in color, combined
with openwork, is a feature Of some of
the new white fabrics.
The new linens are heavy in texture,
and come in large variety OF color
ings. Gray is especially well liked,
and there are good blues, pinks, greens
and other shades. In the rough crash
finishes the pure white linen is not
seen as much as the colored and the
natural tone, but It is pre-eminent
among the lightweight linens.

VELVET FOR ALL OCCASIONS

"And some in velvet gowns"

And some in velvet gowns"
That line in the old nursery rhyme
is quite apropos this season, for II
news from Paris can be relied upon,
nearly all will be in velvet gowns be-
fore the winter is ended
Plain and striped velvets are being
featured prominently among the semi.
tailored and tailored costumes. Two
piece suits and the favorite one-piece
afternoon frock OF velvet will have a
place in almost every woman's ward
robe, especially II she be numbered
among the well-dressed class.
Suits OF plain ono-tore velvet, or
striped velvet showing two tones,
trimmed with fur or elaborately braid
ed, are very much in evidence. Some
OF the smartest OF these have high col
lars that close about the throat in milf
tary effect, and these are often fin
ished with a big rever on one side Of
the front.

Root area IS increased In deeply

than eight inches in depth before 1t
can be considered as deep. Twelve
inches should gradually be attained
for best crop results on good soils.
Deep plowing. combined with the
growth of deep rooted grasses, clovers
and other plants actually creates a
deeper soil for plant life.
Both chemical action and bacterial
life are increased. Plants are depend

DRY FARMING NOTHING NEW
Droueht-Resistant Crops Must Be
Used in oroughty country-Mexi-
can Beans Realizes Profit.

Dry farming movements are not
new. There have been previous floods
of settlement which have receded,
merely leaving few people more in
the arid region than before.
The climate has not changed and is
| not changing. Only a change In meth
ods will record success with present
efforts over those that have gone be
fore, and drought.resistant crops must
be used In a droughty country. Of
these milo. kaffir, sorghum, millet,
stock melons, alfalfa in rows and Mex
lean beans are among the best. and
the lastnamed realize good immediate
cash returns.
One of the most important points Is
to secure enough moisture in the soil
before planting, at any rate, for some
part of the crop, which is best done
by following and clean tillage before
and after planting. With fifty per
cent. OF the precipitation stored In the
soil and the use of drought-resisting
crops which can withstand a dry pc
riod, a foundation has been laid for
success.
There is plenty OF work to do, and
It must be done thoroughly, not by
those people who flippantly regard
farming and usually slip out as soon
as things go wrong. Whether or not
to engage in dry farming is a most
serious question, and must be largely
determined by the price Of the land
and other conditions.
The ease with which a dust mulch
! light character as to blow away, Is
important as well as precipitation and
water-holding capacity OF the soil.
Theoretically, clays hold most mois-
ture; in practice, loans will produce
better crops because they do not so
easily become parched on top and
lose moisture by evaporation. There
are some so enthusiastic about dry
farming that they would not irrigate
II they could, but these are exceptions
and more and more is being done to
retain the rainfall in reservoirs and
get a supply from deeper levels by
pumpinga
There is a great deal of run-off, even
in arid countries; indeed, some OF
them have become arid which were
! formerly fertile through erosion which
quilted the surface. leaving no humus

districts have been regrassed by stop

wings are to be chosen. These will
last season out, which is all one ex-
poets or wants of them. Wings are
short lived as compared to some 9TH
er feather decorations. The wind
catches and strains them because they
are more rigid and have greater sur
face than other feathers.
But much depends upon the way in
which they are mounted on the hat
They may be SO placed that the crown
of the hat will support them. In u.s.
ing them for trimming, therefore, two
things are to be kept in view; the be-
comingness of poise and its stability.
For certain effects nothing quite
takes the place Of wing trimming.
The arrival Of our July and August

pared for our midwinter northern
tourists demonstrate that wings are
