probably consider it un-American to
harness her to harrow or permit he1
to do any sortSof hard work in the fields.
We may perhaps please ourselves by
deciding that the incident here related
occurred in . Dutch settlement in Penn
sylvania, or Swedish settlements in
Minnesota or Wisconsin, and perhaps
it did. But similar incidents are not
wholly unknown even in this state.
We recall in this connection the AeAth
some years ago Of the wife of 4 PROS
Serious farmer. He had been the owner
Of 600 acres of land, well stocked: and
much Of it in wheat. He and his wife
began life together in their early youth,
without other capital than loyal Affect
ion for each other and two sturdy pair
of hands. From renters Of ssmall
farm they became owners) Of many
broad, well-watered acres. An un-
usually heavy crop meant an addition to
their farm lands or perhaps new barn
with . driven we'll and windmill attach
mentto provide water for the stock.
Ap old house built in pioneer days had
! sutiaced all these years for their home.
The only money this prosperous farmer
/ even felt able to spend upon his dwell
ling house was that required to -reroof
itafter yearssof leaking which render.
ed it necessary to set pans and pals
here and there, on the. beds, in the
corner Of the living-room, on the kitch-
4 en- table, everywhere about the house,
TO catch the seepage from the old roof.
With all Of her hardship this woman
survived her husband year, and when
she died from heart trouble, from which
che had long suffered. . sister whom
] she had not seen for many years came
Ito her funeral, and, going for water
with: which 70 cook break fast the morn

domestic supply was drawn from we'll

bucket weighted with 4 horseshoe at
one side. BY means Of rope!

Farm Homes Can
Be Comfortable
More Money Was Spent Ia I'm
proving the House the Wives
| Would be Happy

Farmers wives more than any other
class of women-more even than farm
ers themselves waste their energies in
. unnecessary drudgery. We in this
country have been won't to pity as a
miserable, unenlightened creature the
peasant woman of European countries
who performs long hours of labor in the
fields in addition to such housewifely
4 duties as are necessary to prepare food
and raiment for her family, and who
upon occasion has even been used as q
draft animal. Conditions Of this kind
imply what we are won't to call un-Am-
.erican standards Of living. It is true
sthat our standards of living even for
women on the farm are much higher
than this, but do we always live up to
them? Hear what the Country Gentle
man (Philadelphia) has to say upon
this subject:
The other day gas-engine man in
stalled q gasoline engine on. an Eastern
farm, The farmer who bought it is
fairly well-to-do and presumably intel
ligent. Yet his wife has always pumped
water for the stock. This work took
two hours of her time every weekday,
Sunday and holiday, and she had been
doing it for years. The one-horsepower
engine sold for the purpose has jack
!. that operates the old pump. as we'll as
pulley for running the grindstone,
separator and other small machinery.
It cost $3.50 delivered. Gasoline
depreciation and interest come to less
than 81 a month; so this farmers wife
had been working for about a cent and
a half an hour!. Yet her husband would
probably consider it un-American to
harness her to q harrow or permit her
to do any sort fhard work in the fields.
We may perhaps please ourselves by
deciding that the incident here related
occurred in Dutch settlement in Penn
sylvania, or Swedish settlemant Sin
Minnesota or Wisconsin, and perhaps

and Mr.. Dyar are especially interested
in. Should the Hero Company's pro-
ject not materialize, The Herald will

has been suggested by Mr.. Dyar.
President Lennox reported that
while passing the corner of Opelousas
and Verret streets, he noticed sign
on the Cumberland Telephone Elk

The activity of the new concern here
in Algiers is a good forerunner Of
what the syndicate expects to do, and
it is up to the Algiers people to give
every encouragement and assistance
possible in aiding the new corporation
to develop the great unused territory
almost within a stones throw of our
paved streets. The 10000 acres Of
swamp land directly behind Algiers, IL
drained and cultivated, and estimating
that the product of this acreage would
yield $50 annually, would bring to our
immediate vicinity s6,5OO,OOO. My
friends, just stop and consider this
and see what it will mean to encour-
age the new enterprise who contem-
plate doing big things.

MAY LOSE EYE.

Little Roy Fred Drumm, SIS Pelican
avenue. was seriously injured q few
days ago when he received lick in
the eye with a rock thrown from a
sling-shot by some boy. He is being
attended by one of the finest special
lists in the city and everything possible
is being done to save the sight of the
little fellows eye. 1t is q wonder that
there are not more accidents Of this
kind on account of the promiscuous
use of these sling-shots, which are so
extremely dangerous, and we can hold
no one else responsible for these acct
dents than the parents who allow their
children to have these dangerous wea-
pons in their possession.

where they are working to recover the
sunken boat. 1t is stated that all the
sand has been removed from the tug
and that the water-tight tanks are now

that the loss to the company will be
slight, excepting as to the loss of time
incurred by this sinking. II the rails

FERRY FRANCHISE NEAR
READY.
Telegraph Sign Out-Committee
Appointed-Algiers Improve
ment Association Meets.

Despite the fact that many of the
members were extremely busy cam
paigning, there was a good meeting of
the Algiers Improvement Association
Monday night, with President Jos. w.
Lennox presiding.
One of the most important matters
before the Association was the report
of the ferry franchise committee, who
have had in their care the preparation
of the new franchise for the Third
District ferry. The franchise is now
completed and is being printed, ready
to be submitted to the civil authorities
as we'll as the prospective bidders.
There are no provisions in the fran
chise that will prevent the prospective
bidder from entering into negotiations
with the city for the purchase, and it
was the purpose of the Algiers COM
mittee to have the franchise so read
and so conditioned that the operation
of same will be paying investment.
The committee asked for further time
in order that they might add on the
finishing touches.
Messrs. John p Vezien and Peter S.
Lawton were appointed committee to
meet with the Levee Board regarding
1.-THE cave-in in the levee at the head of
Pelican avenue.
| During the meeting Mr.. Dyar again
brought up his pet subject of building
the leyee from a point on the outfall
drainage canal to the Mississippi river
near the immigration Station. There
was appointed on the committee to
look into the matter further, Eug. F.
Dyar and Mr.. Manson and three addi-
tional members, who have not yet been
appointed by the president.
Regarding this project, it is the
opinion of The Herald that nothing
should be done along this line at pres
ent, for the fact that Mr.. Hero, of the
city, has now about completed gigantic
plans for the establishment Of levee
across that neck of ground which is
made by the big turn in the Mississippi
river extending from Algiers to point
below Belle Chase. A levee built
across this neck by the big corporation
which has it under way, will not only
Ireclaim 10000 acres of the. finest al
Iluvial soil in the world, but will drain

TO CELEBRATE ANNIVER
SARY.
OF EXTENSIONS SAT.
URDAY.

On Saturday at noon will begin the
celebration of the fifth anniversary of
the establishment of the electric car
line in our district. The continuance
of this celebration is of great interest
to the employees of the electric car
line. especially those who have been
in the service from the time the first
cars were operated.
According to the rules of the COM
pany all employees who have consci-
entiously performed their duties as
motormen and conductors, are given
an increase of pay of s1.0O per month
eacn year.
The celebration of the anniversary
was first inaugurated by Major r. S.
Stearnes, who was the first superin-
tendent of the road, and no doubt Su-
perintendent Ford will keep up this
part of the program which is looked
forward to by the employees of the
road.
The celebration this year will not
only be full of interest, but very signi-
ficant in many respects. First Of all,
the road is now in other hands and is
under the general superintendency of
Chas. w. Ford, an expert railroad man
who comes here from Grand Junction,
Colo, to not only superintend the AL
lgiers Railway line, but to also have
charge of the Grand Isle road.
Former Supt. E. w. Burgis, of the
Grand Isle, has been promoted to the
Office of superintendent of construc-
ton, while General Manager c. E. A.
Carr is here as the representative of
the syndicate which promises in way
to spend in this territory, upon their
improvements, no less than s5,000,000
provided conditions are favorable and
they are not compelled to do the i'm
possible in order to make their new
ventures a success.
The employees and guests are 10 as
semble at the car-barn at noon on Sat
urday, when the first trip will be made
lover the extension to the immigration
Station. We presume the program
will be the same as in the past years
when very dainty lunches were served
and music added to the enlivenmen
of those present.
The extension along Patterson
street is progressing very rapidly; thu
rails are now about all in place ant
the ballasting and relaying of tn
pavement will begin next week. Su
perintendent Of Construction E. W
Burgis is now busy inspecting tn
route from Gretna to Waggaman AM
construction here will also be starte,
shortly.

DEER KILLING TIME FIXED BY
BOARD.

The deer season opens in Louisiana
Sept. 16 and closes Feb. Is. A reso-
luton was adopted Wednesday to that
effect by the Conservation Commits
sion.
II is a violation of the law to shoot
fawns at any time. A great deal OF
confusion has existed relative to the
killing of deer on account of the fact
that formerly the open and closed sea-
sons were fixed by the several police
juries of the various parishes, but the
last legislature amended the law and
empowered the commission to fix the
one date to apply to all the parishes
alike.
