ROBERT S. LANDRY
Is Succeeded by A. w. Newlin as the
Secretary OF the State Democrat
ic Central Committee.

New Orleans States: The selection
of A. w. NeWlin as secretary Of the
Louisiana Democratic State Central
Committee Tuesday caused a sur
prise to all x-committeemen who
lare at present in the party's inner
councils.
IT was tipped early Tuesday morn
ing that there had been a change in
the program and that Judge Hall
wanted Mr.. Newlin to succeed Mr.
Robert S. Landry. Early in the
morning Judge Hall had talk with
Mr.. Ncwlin, who is said 10 have
agreed to accept the position.
It is tipped that further political
honOrs are in store for the new sec
retary when Judge Hall becomes
governor.
The "regulars" who arquiesced in
everything that was done express
ed themselves as being satisfied
with Judge Halls choice for the sec
retaryship.
Col. Thomas H. Lewis, the new
committee chairman, demonstrated
at the outset that he proposes to
rule while chairman. He first ''sat
on former Senator John Marks. of
Assumption, when the later insisted
on tabling the Looney substitute
resolution. by allowing Mr.. LOoney
to debate the issues. The cOloners
ruling was against parliamentary
practice, but he insisted that mas
much as Mr.. Spearing had told his
side of the story Mr.. Looney should
be given an equal chance.
The second demonstration of Col
OneI Lewis determination came
when he headed off the BOatner
resolution, asking State Superin-
tendend of Education r. H. Harris
to resign as the party nominee for
reelection. In the midst of con
fusion Colonel Lewis cut short ev-
trything by adjourning the meeting,
leaving Philip Werlein with his 'su-
gar resolution" in the background.
After the meeting there was a sort
Of "love feast" in the lobby Of The

clared everything was lovely"

PARCELS POST.

The parcels post proposition is soon
to come ap before congress. This idea
was first advanced by John Wanna
maker, the merchant prince Of phil
aldelphia, who was the pioneer IN the
mail order business. When he became
postmaster general he urged il. Next
Postmaster General Meyer, who was
"a Hebrew, and in close touca with
those mercantile interests which fav-
.ored such proposition. advocated the
idea, and now Postmaster General
Hitchcock favors the scheme The
after proposes to try il out On he
rural routes alone OF course tNis is
what the great mail order houses want.
Let Uncle Sam do their fetching and
carrying for price that would be be-
low cost an dthen they could launch
out on campaign Of mail order ex-
ploitation that would sound the death
.knell of the country merchant and the
country town. The farmers of the
country town. The farmers Of the
country, availing themselves Of the
mail order opportunities that would
follow such system, would throw so
large volume of their business to the
concerns located in the great cities
that they would force their home mer-
chants out of business, destroy the
home market for produce and convert
their county seat towns to mere cross
road hamlets where the farmer would
only have to go to pay his taxes end
attend court. The mercantile inter-
ests that now pay so much of the per-
sonal taxes of the county and help to
sustain the courts, the roads, the
bridges, the county schools and all the
Iother local institutions would not exist
and the farmers of Nemaha county
could certainly not tax Montgomery
Ward, Sears Roebuck, and the host of
concerns of a similar character that
would spring UP in the big cities to
maintain the institutions we now have
in this country. They would have to
pay cash in advance for everything
where they now get a liberal credit
from the local merchants. This is not
an overdrawn picture. 1t is one that
will actually exist in the event that
la bill of this kind is passed by con
gress. The farmer owes it to his home
towns to maintain them and to do his
trading in them. 1t is these small
commercial and market centers which
give additional value to his farms,
maintain his schools, his courts, his
produce markets, his credit in time
of need, his banking institutions, his
churches, his good roads, his telephone
systems and all of the other adyan-
tages that come from cooperation
of town and country 1t has been urg-
ed that the parcels post would put the
Iexpress companies out of business.
Uncle Sam, if he wants to, can do the
same thing by taking over the ex-
press companies and Matchmaking
them the same as the posts as a mat
ter of public policy and could estab-
lish express rates and service that
would be of benefit to the people with
out injuring the small towns.

Location and Natural Advantages.
(COntributed.) vs.

Sentinel Butte Is situated on the
main line Of the Northern Pacific
Railway ten miles east OF the Mon
tana line. Few towns in North Da'
kota, or in any other state for that
matter, have any better natural ad-
vantages. Ignite Is found in abund-
ance and is supplied to the city by
the farmers who haul from the mum
erous mines in the vicinity. The
largest mine has a vein twenty.eight
feet thick. Sentinel Butte offers ev.
cry advantage to b%riquetting plants
when the %briquetting process shall
have become a successful commercial
enterprise.
Clays Of great varieties are found
near Sentinel Butte and, while there
has been no effort at brickmaking II
clays are the equal of any found in
the western part Of the state already
made famous by the value n Varie'
ties OF its clay products. ,

facilities and is but twenty hours run
from the Twin cities. 1t is a dis
tinct advantage to be on the main
line OF a great railroad system like
the Northern Pacific, and but for
their generous cooperation much OF
this territory would still be unset
tied.
Topography and Soil.
The country in general around
Sentinel Butte is rolling with now
and then buttes whose sides are more
or less precipitous. After one gets
out from town a few miles either
north or south the country opens up
nearly level and all tillable. The
Eastern farmer who has to work
among stones or stumps little real.

The grain crops grown here con:
sist chiefly Of wheat, oats, barley,
speltz and rye. We grow some corn
and it does we'll but we have had
little use for it up to the present.
Many of the farmers are raising hogs
now and the amount of corn grown
will be on the increase. The yield
on all farm grains is satisfactory.
There is no better country for po'
tatoes than our own. Potatoes are
not only large but mealy, solid and
remarkably free from disease. All
other vegetables such as cabbage,
onions, beets, %rutabages, celery, grow
in abundance. ~

farmers neal us turn their work
horses out when their fall blowing

them up in the spring, ready to go
to work. No thickly settled part OF
North Dakota offers this great feed
saving advantage.
AS a grazing country there is to
be found in the United States no SUI

c~ulturist in this prairie country.
While this is a prairie country it is
not as some imagine a never-ending
desert Of shifting sand. The contour
Of the country offers variety and
beauty to the landscape and to vege-
table life. The soil around Sentinel
Butte Is a black loan with a clay
subsoil. No farmer need be told
that q clay soil is more permanent
than any other soil. 1t does not drift
or dry out as light or sandy soils do
and it grows better after being
worked and it's filth improved.

exclusive grain farming will in the
end be disastrous to the best inter-
