OVERLOADING NEW ENTER
PRISES

The County Review of Baton
Rouge says:
If one should take the trouble
to study the origin of the success
full enterprises that have in our
day grown ito great proportions,
he would probably find that III
every case they have developed
from very modest beginnings.
The great Astor fortune was be-
gun and built, up by the hard
work and privations Of a rugged
old trapper and fur trader; the
Vanderbilt fortune began with a
loan to the elder Vanderbilt OF
a hundred dollars, which enabled
him to operate a ferry-boat; the
Gould fortune was laid by an
.tlnerant telegraph operator.
1T is the law Of nature that
soliduity, strength and perman-
ence should come gradually as
result of practice, experience and
the rational exercise Of the normal
faculties. The man who starts
out with a small enterprise learns
every detail Of his business, gains
experience in watching it, finds
out quickly what conditions affect
it favorably or adversely and by
patient industry apd severe econ-
omy he has the satisfaction of see
ing it grow constantly toward
the goal he has in mind. And
with its growth he also grows; 50
that, by the time his business
reaches large proportions, he,
having kept pace with it all the
way, commands it with as much
ease and with as firm grasp
upon it's every detail as he did at
the small beginning.
These observations are superin.

PAVING WITH sRlCK and WOOD

A growing disposition is now
apparent to make less Of the
first cost of paving for streets
and highways generally, and
more of the permancy OF i'm
provements. It has been estab-
lished to the satisfaction OF tax
payers and tax levying bodies, it
would seem. that road building is
an art, and that thare is neither
sense nor saving in regarding it
any longer as mere laborer's

rubber-t tired and of great speed
and weight. and with the new
problems that they presented in
friction and suction. has convin-
ced not only those who construct
highways, but more important
still, those who pay forthem, that
something more than good sur
face is necessary to permanency.
It is interesting that consid-
Grating all the iacts born of
this later experience should be
leading road builders back to the
block system of pavement. The
block system, it should be said,
includes brick paving. Whether
the block be stone. brick or wood.
the advantage of employing it
consists in the fact that it offers
more than . surface To the grind
ing of the passing vehicle, and in
the additional and equally impor-
tant fact that it may readily, ifin-
jured, be removed aud replaced.
OF the three. BRICK and wood seem
to hold the preference, on the
score of endurance. cleanliness,
noiselessness and economy.
Both wood and brick paving
fell into disrepute in the past
through no fault whatever Of the
block pin iple. They failed be-
cause the first essential to flot X
paving-s proper foundation
was neglected. Originally the
cedar block pavement was laid on
p)anks; when the planks decay cd
the blocks 3 ink. and in time dis
appeared in the msd. Poor
workmanship characterized much
of the brick paving a few years
ago, insufficient provision b. ing
made for the foundation. Las-
terly, however, the foundations
laid for both brick and wood,
when laid as they should be,are
solid pavements in themselves.

Some time ago the Parish of
st. Martin, with a view Of short
ening the road to the City OF
New iberia, went into heavy
expenses making good straight
road near the Keystone planta-
ton, with the understanding that
the Parish Of Iberia would meet
us half way by building road
that would meet ours and do away
with the toll road, which is an
imposition upon the travelling
public for which the Parish Of
Iberia is responsible. There is no

such cases out OF every ten dlSaS-
trous failure follows.
Take for example the canning
plant industry. A few years ago
almost every town in Louisiana
was clamoring for canning fac
tory as they called them. Sew
eral Of them succeeded in building
plants with capacities sufficient ito
can in one day all the available
produce of an entire season. The
result is that horses are being
stabbed lumber is being stored,
lea is being made and various
other things are being done in
buildings erected for canning
plants. Another very unfortu-
nste result is that hundreds Of
men VINO got singed in an enter
prise foolishly overdone have
been cured forever Of going in
with their neighbors to help build
up the town. But there are can
nlng plants organized and opera.-
ed on sane principals, such as DR..
Dalrynlple suggests, which are
paying good dividends on the
capital invested.
When the boil weevil appeared
some years ago the necessity for
the cotton farmers to find some
other means Of living became ap-
parent. Naturally, one Of the
first suggestions was the growing
of stock. Then dreamers began
to plan packing houses almost RI
valing those in Chicago, and grea.
enthusiasm prevailed. Fortunate
ly, but few got beyond the stage
OF agitation, but most unfortu-
nately no small packeries, the
building of which would be well
within our means and the supply
ing Of which with the new pro-
duct would be easy, were under
taken.
Now is the time for such enter
prises to be started. Already our
girls are showing us how to make
money out of canning plants
which every family may own and
operate. We are looking for our
Doys to show us pretty soon how
to construct and operate a pack
ing plant. So far as we old fell
lows are concerned there is no
hope. A packing plant that we
can handle we would scorn to or
