An AbSurdity

Tt is reported that Governor San
ders will call an extra session of the
Legislature, then maks eJcmtSane
Legislature, then make Senator
Thornton resign the seat in the Sen
ate, which he holds by proxy for Mr..
Sanders ,and that the Governor will
then take his hip-pocket Legisla-
ture out of the seat of his pants, and
make them elect him to the Sen
ate again. We don't think such a
game of political horse-play could
be pulled off now, as the thing would
be almost as absurd as some of the
things they have already done, and
we believe that even that Legisla-
ture learned a thing or two at the
recent election-Mansfield Enter
lprise.
Don't worry: This horse-play will
not be pulled off now, nor never.

visits to his home in the last year
He told me he would accept the
nominatiOn if the call came from the
people"

BOYS CORN Clubs
Corn Exhibit at the Chicago Land
Show

The corn yield within the past
three years has been increased thlr-
ty million bushels. This phenOmen-
al increase has been due in part to
| the work of the Boys Corn Clubs.
The exhibits Of these clubs at the
Chicago Land Show, perhaps. did
tmOre to advertise Louisiana than
Iany other one exhibit.
Because of the success of this
work, the effort has been extended
| It now includes gardening clubs
among the girls and hog clubs for
both boys and girls.
Probably you are aware Of the
Isupport and encouragement given
| by many Progressives Leagues, PO-
| lice Jurips, Fair Associations. school
Boards. and interested citizens. The
boys of the State are greatly indcht-
ed to YOU and your cO-wOrkers and
IOthers who have greatly shrdIushrd
others who have giveu substantial
aid 10 this movement $250O.0O for
1912 has been appropriated by the
State Fair Association.
Financial help for this work is
business Philanthropy: it pays. For
every dollar expended laSi wear
there was a re- .lrn IL E,a;s ial :-ain
and practical scientific knowledge.
This effort helps the business man
by giving publicity to parish re-
sources and by the introduction Of
improved methods of farming. In
addition it is an invaluable lesson
TO the boys and girls in the Develop
ment Of thrift. and in the reward
that comes to industry.
For local work. we hope for fin
ancial aid from your board in order
that your parish and your people

able to occupy its new quarters very
shortly. The interior presents a
very pleasing appearance indeed,
with the light green side walls and
ceiling, the mahogany wood work
and white marble. Nothing, it seems,
will be lacking in the way of inter
ior arrangements and appointments
for the convenience and comfort Of
the banks customers. The Offices on
the second floor are about ready for
use. They are also finished very
handsomely and provided with every
convenience. There are two suites

May Return-The members Of the
First Presbyterian church are glad
of the prospect Of he probable early
return OF Rev. DR.. W. L. Lowrance,
who was pastor of the church for
several months up to a few weeks
ago. Or. Lowrance only came to
the church temporarily, and he went
from here to San Antonio about the
end of April. He has written, how
ever, that he probably will return
by the end Of May to take charge of
the church for at least two months
longer. DR.. Lowrance is a very able
preacher and the members OF the
church express the earnest wish that
they might be able to retain him per-
manently.
