The automobile has caused a great
change In the coal oil business. Be-
fore the gasoline engine got popular
the Standard Oil company could not
get rid Of the gasoline 1t was forced
to make, and much Of 1t was treated
as a waste product. When the auto
mobiles were made they made a mark
ct for the gasoline, which the COM
pany was glad to sell at a small price.
The more automobiles that we're made
the greater was the demand for gas
oline, and the price began going up,
till the former waste was worth more
than the coal oil. During the past
year II has taken several jumps In
price. and threatened to go 50 high
that the man with the cheap car
could not afford to ride. The wise oil
men got to work, trying to solve the
question. The crude oil under the
old way OF refining produced 20 per
cent gasoline, 20 per cent coal oil, and
90 per cent fuel oil. The chemists
have attacked the fuel oil, and IL Is
announced they have discovered a
process for dividing 1t into two por-
lions, one half being motor spirit, and
the other half residue. The motor
spirit can be manufactured a little
cheaper than gasoline, and a gallon Of

further than a gallon Of gasoline. It
has a yellowish tinge and an unpleas-
ant odor. The chemists hope 70 get
rid OF the odor, but that will not
bother the auto man, for he has IN
air tight tank to carry the spirit, and
the odor will 90 out Of the exhaust at
the real Of the car, and there never
was an automobile driver that cared
a whoop for the man behind the car.

Dimensions for an Acre.

An important rule for the cor
rect Measurement and computa-
ton of an acre of land is given
by H. H. Williamson, Assistant
State Agent in charge. of club
work, which is published by the
Farm and Ranch. at Dallas, Tex
as. A great many Louisiana
boys are interested in these
measurements, and we print
them for their benefit, as follows:
We receive many inquiries in
regard to the exact measure
ments of an acre. Each member
is required to have at least one
acre in cultivation and all yields
are determined on acre basis.
You should have measured your
plat accurately before planting.
However, if you did not do this.
it is possible for you to make the
necessary changes after plant
ing. If you find that your plat
is less than one acre you may in
crease it to the proper size by
adding few rows, i. e., if your
father has a similar crop adjoin-
ing. In case your plat contains
more than one acre, you may re-
duce it to the proper size by
shortening The rows. Of course
do not discontinue to cultivate
the surplus, but mark off your
acre and this fall harvest and
make your report on it separately.

Churches.

What is a church? The hon.
est sexton tells: IT'S a tall build
ing, with tower and bells.
That the churches in any COM
munity exercise a most potent in
fluence for good, is conceded by
all except the most rabid or bla-
tant infidel, whose egotism and
self-conceit blind his mind to the
inestimable value of righteous
ness. But to what extent are
the churches valuable in this
community? The Galilean teach
err said of His disciples: "Ye
are the light of the world" Eye
are the salt of the earth. "
Hence, if all His disciples are
the light of the world and the
salt of the earth, the logical as
well as the scriptural conclusion
is that they are the light Of the
community in which they live.
These declarations, however,
do not preclude the possibility of
the light going out being hid
under a bushel-or the salt losing
its sadness. But certainly no
reasonable or fairminded person
would accuse the churches of be-
ing wholly composed of united
hypocrites. For it matters not
to what extent sin, in it's many
forms, may prevail in the ranks
of any church, you will find with
in it's membership consecrated
men and women. And it should
be borne in mind that it only re-
quires few of the above men
toned class to become the light
of the community.
There is not a man in our town,
however Indifferent to the claims
of piousness, would want to rear
his family here if there were no
churches or church influence, for
he at once recognizes them as
the guardians of the morals of
the community. What would be
the condition of this community
at the end of the next ten years
lif from this time until then the
churches were closed? To what
extent would life and property
be safe?
And yet, with all the organized
agencies of the churches, the
devil too frequently holds high
carnival. What might we not
expect if wholly Invested of these
good influences?
The high moral standing of
this community is due to the fact
that it has been permeated by
religious influence and education,
such as have radiated from the
various church organizations. -

Pollock, La, June 9, 1913.
Editor Collar Chronicle:
| noticed an article in your pa.
per lately from Mr.. Wall express
ing a desire for my plan or opin-
ion in regard to educating our
youth. | will say to Mr.. Wall
and all others interested that
consider this very serious prob
lem and / am puzzled to know
how to solve it.
One thing / do know, there is
a tremendous loss of time to al
most every pupil. Our high
schools, some of them at any
rate, prescribe a II year course.
This, in my judgment is sheer
nonsense. AS soon as the boy
or girl can decide what he will
make his life work, he ought to
drop every branch that doesn't
help him on toward his goal.
The course of public high school
instruction should be so regulat-
ed that each pupil can study
what he or she expects to need
in life, and drop what they will
not need. For example, if boy
is going to live by the practice of
law, why teach him botany, or
geology, or chemistry, or dozens
of other things that a lawyer
would never need in his business
The farmer needs a more varied
or broader education than almost
any other occupation, but he
needs to confine his effort to ac-
curing knowledge that will help
him in his business. The farmer
boy needs botany, zoology, chem
istry, geology, and a dozen other
things that the law student has
no need for at all. He ought
even to know a little about COM
mon law, in order that he may
serve intelligently when called
on as a juror. True, lawyers
have got their job pretty well
stocked on US now. That's, they
have almost a complete monopoly
of the legal business. We are
still privileged to swap hats with
out employing a legal adviser to
draw up the agreement, but that
is about as far as we can go.
Every child should know the
three RS, and after that he
should not have a course pre-
scribed to him that he is absolute
ly certain never to need in his
chosen vocation. If understand
the present system, the failure
to pass the examination in a
branch altogether foreign to his
needs will throw the boy back a
year this year to be passed in
review of what he knows already.
The time previously occupied in
the useless study / consider
clear loss. l would be glad to
see a radical reform in the edu-
cational system, but ] don't fee
competent to get up the ideal
curriculum, so | suppose | will
have to content myself with an
occasional kick, and let some
man who thinks he is smart
enough inaugurate the necessary
reforms. / would be glad to
read some practical suggestions
on this subject.
