Good Roads Benefit All Classes.

Formerly the town man was taught to
believe that public roads were for the ex-
elusive use and benefit of the people living
in the rural districts, and that this class
alone should be held responsible for their
construction, care and maintenance. On
the other hand, the rural resident, when
the question of good roads was preached
to him, knowingly shook his head and
said: 'sNo extra taxes on my property
for the town dude and his automobile. -
Either position is erroneous and has had
its effect in retarding good road work in
many localities. AS matter of fact, the
city and county should cooperate in con-
Meeting all county roads to the nearest city
pavement, and the city should obligate
itself to bear all future maintenance
charges for that portion within the city
limits, and the county, which includes the
city, should be burdened correspondingly
with all roads outside the city limits

write long letters and even whole family
history on post card, but we have been
shown post card that rather tops the
mark in quantity and quality of its con-
tents. The size of this card is three by
five and one-eighth inches, and contains a
part of the Epistle of Paul to the Corin-
thians; the lines are written across the
card, each line three inches long, and
there are one hundred and fifty lone lines !;

From Our State Exchanges

Shreveport Caucasian: Gov. Hall will
not fail to grasp every opportunity that will
rebound to the welfare of Louisiana and to
his credit.
Mansfield Enterprise: Lots of good
things to eat and wear, are made in Lou
isiana. Always try and buy them and
keep your money at home.
New Orleans Christian Advocate: We
do we'll to keep alive the memory of great
men. They are Gods best gifts to earth
blessings to mankind.
Mansfield Enterprise: The Legislature
will do we'll to let all liquor legislation
alone. The matter is now in the hands of
the people, and they are entirely able to
manage their own affairs.
Lake Charles American Press: We
welcome Hon. Jared Y. Sanders into the
rank of private citizen. A considerable
majority of us feel that no one will adorn
it better, and are willing that he should en-
JOY it for some time to come.
The Shreveport Caucasian says DR..
Bowling "has applied himself diligently
and heroically to his work. He has shed
imperishable luster on his profession and
on his State. He is the one man who is in
the right place. We doubt if his equal can
be found in the State"
| New Orleans Christian Advocate: Ex-
Gov. j. Y. Sanders, in his farewell message
to the Louisiana Legislature, warned that
body to beware of the scheming representa-
tives of the liquor traffic and the race-track
gamblers. He suggested that these vul-
lures were lowering over the Legislature
with the hope of feasting on the rights of
the people by securing more liberty for
their clients.
New Orleans Picayune: There was a
time when Louisiana not only supplied
much live oak for ship building at home,
but met large demand from abroad. The
United States Government, during half a
century preceding the Civil War, depended
upon Louisiana for live oak shipknees for
war vessels. These knees were hewed from
that part of the trunk where large limbs or
roots joined the body of the tree. The
governments search for live oak for ship
building began on the coast of Georgia
before the close of the eighteenth century.
Increased supplies were demanded and in
1917 Louisiana was turned to for assistance

Do You Do This?

Drive a nail through an empty spool to
have a good peg on which to hang things
in the kitchen on the back porch or in the
cellar. The spool will not tear nor stain
any cloths, as nail is apt to do.
To untangle hair that has become matted
during illness, dampen it with alcohol and
the tangles will readily brush out with
little exhaustion to the invalid.
When making pancakes put large
tablespoonful of olive-oil in the batter.
The taste can not be detected, gives q
delicate brown and does away with greas-
ing the griddle.
When applying stove polish, whether OF
the liquid or paste variety, use q small
paint brush. It does not soil the hands
and reaches all the corners and the little
seams so hard to get at any other way.
The brush when not in use should be kept
in cupful of water to prevent it hard
ening.
In frying eggs if few drops of water
are added to the fat and the frying pan
covered eggs will not become tough.
A remedy for ants is to thoroughly clean
the place infested and scatter about fresh
cucumber Feelings. When they become
too dry, remove and renew.
If house plants seem to be dropping and
inclined to decay, take dozen parlol
matches and stick them, head down, in
the earth. The sulphur will kill any worms
that may be eating at the roots.
When large bottle of olives has been
opened and only part of the contents used
the remaining ones become comparatively
tasteless in a short time, even though LEFT
in the brine. Pour an inch or two of olive
oil on the top, keep the bottle well corked
and the olives will retain their flavor
indefinitely Orleans States.

The Habit of Honesty In Trifles.

From the American Journal of Clinical Medcine.l
Practise scrupulous honesty as means
of self-improvement. One of the deepest
impressions of boyhood was made by a
father who, occupying q public office,
would never allow pen, envelope, sheet
of foolscap or postage stamp, belonging
to the county, to be used for private
purposes.
The habit of honesty in trifles grows to
be Characteristic, trait of the mind.
Grafters are not thus developed. But the
careless appropriation of other persons
property may also become habit. Peo-
pie will not steal, but they will swipe; and
swiping apples makes it morally easy to
swipe a railroad Who can tell where
these things end! Trace back the down
ward course of Beattie or q Webster
from wife murder, and the beginnings may
be found in early life, when mothers for
hidden goodies were appropriated, play
mates toys ''swiped," orchards raided,
until by imperceptible degrees the stage is
reached where seduction, abortion and
murder are no more difficult than the mi
nor crimes of childhood.
Get the habit of-honesty. Do it now ;
practise it on every possible occasion, in
matters little as we'll as momentous, until
it becomes second nature-automatic-
80 that departure from the right would
jar your consciousness into wakefulness
and arouse conscience.
The great men of the world have been
of this type. Look at grand old Luther
"Here l stand; cannot do otherwise.
God help mel" and all the other heroes
whose dauntless stand for the truth has
left their names as beacon-lghts for the
guidance of youth. Where are the innu-
merable polite trimmers who suffered
themselves to be cajoled or bribed or in
Inundated until they fell away and left the
hero to bear the brunt of opposition alone:
Their names have persisted, their posterity
most proftably continued on the downward
path to which their parents example
pointed, and to which immediate ''suc-
cess" gave sanction.

As a Man Thinketh.


Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things
are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are OF good
report; think on these things.-Phat-
ippians ~, s..
The finest thing that can be said of any
man is that he is a good man, and the best
work of which any man is capable is to do
good.
Before we can do good we must be good.
It is not impossible for an evil man to do
some good or for good man to do some
evil. But such exceptions only serve to
emphasize the general law that good begets
good and evil, evil.
What we are is father to what we do!
What we think is father to what we are !!
''For as he thinketh in his heart, so is
he"
And to think is at least as much duty
toward God as to pray or praise. For
centuries the greed guided guardians of
religion tried to murder thought among
the masses. Then a change came over
the face of the mental ocean, and to-day
the sun of divine freedom is reflected in
countless numbers of its living waves.
The ability to think is Gods highest gift.
At any rate, thought is the rudder which
steers the human ship through the calm or
stormy waters of this existence. So it is
of the highest Importance we should know
how to think and what to think about.
According to the greatest of Christ's
apostles, we should think of truth, honesty,
justice, purity, loneliness and all that is OF
good report.
In his advice he does not set any bounds
or limits. "Whatsoever' is true, honest,
just, pure, lovely or of good report is to be
pondered in the mind and in the heart,
and is thus to become part of the being.
Any person who has ever tested, even
in small measure, the power of thought
knows beyond doubt that the mental pro-
cess determines moral progress more than
any other one force.
Thought is the engineer of the body
With high thoughts at the throttle, the
human express is not likely to leave the
right track. A majority of human wrecks
result from giving low thought the guiding
hand.
| If you really want to live right life
lay the foundation by thinking upon the
things named by Saint Paul. If yon wan
to help others, fortify your ability by
thinking out the best and surest ways te
offer help that is something more thar
hindrance in disguise.
If you are on the down grade and yoy
want to halt and start upward again, begir
by changing the direction of your thoughts
Your feet will follow in due time. If yol
wish to reach greater heights than those
you have already attained, think higher.
He who thinks among the stars ive
among the stars, and he whose mind is il
the mud can Onlv crawl
Thoughtlessness should be ranked as
cardinal sin, for thought is within reach o
every sane being. And good thoughts ar
easier to grow than evil.

FAINTHEARTEDNESS.

1t was observed by an ancient that
"Faint heart ne'er won fair lady," Not
only so, but "faint heart" never won any
thing worth winning. It stands before
LIES open doors hesitant, at the foothills Of
great possibilities trembling, in the pres
ence of some supreme achievement afraid.
Many man is poor chiefly because he
has been afraid to trust his money in other
hands than his own. What uninvested
millions lie hidden away in secret places |!
All we need to start panic is to suddenly
increase the number of commercial "faint
hearts," All the longed for commercial
revival waits is a restoration of confidence.
So great enterprises remain unwaged and
success unacquired because of our faint
hearts.
A census of such timid folk would doubt
less make long list, but such list is never
quite so depressing as when it includes
those from whom we have right to expect
better things. There is species of cow
ardice which goes with responsibility and
belongs to great decorum. 1t is not by any
means the cowardice of the wicked who
s'flee when no man pursueth," neither is it
the cowardice of the pure craven. It is
the exhibition of timidity, a want of conf
dence, of those from whom we expect a
different spirit.
1t is said that certain enraged beats in
variably wait sign of terror in the eyes OF
their victim, and with the first intimation
of such terror the animal springs to the
attack. Thus the forces of evil watch fol-
some sign of weakening on the part of those
who are set to defend the right. The mere
blanching of a cheek, some first evidence
of faintheartedness, is all the signal the
enemy needs.
But to say that men and causes are de.
feated by faintheartedness is like ascribine
death to 'heart failure" The question
still remains as to what induced the faint.
"makes towards of US ALL" There is NJ
moral weakener like sense of persona
demerit. Few of US can carry comfortably
and jaurtily guilty soul. That state o
mind which needs no accuser acts like al
inward paralysis upon the souls bes
powers.
Faintheartedness indicates also want o
conviction. Some one says that banl
never succeeds until its president takes i
to bed with him. But this is only anothe
way of saying that man must believ'
tremendously in the work to which he set
himself "He starved his business" ex
planned mutual friend by way of account
ing for certain commercial failure. III,
never put himself into it, Nor can maj
put himself into his task until he believes
in his task. A faint heart is often con
fession that its owners soul is not yet en-
gagged.
