SEVEN QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR
BOY.

Monroe NeWs-Star:
How have you treated your boys dur
ing this crop-making season, Mr.. Farm
err
1. Did you let them have Saturday
afternoon off for baseball or fishing?
2. Did you encourage them to join
the Corn Club?
g. Did you give each one patch OF
corn or cotton or tobacco for his very
own-the money from the sale to be
his?
4. Did you encourage them to read
farm papers, go to the farmers insti-
tute, and learn in other ways that
farming is as much brain work as mus.
Gle work?
5. Are you going to have them study
agriculture at the next session Of
school?
6. Have they any pure bred hogs or
calves to look after and be proud OF
and exhibit at the parish fair?
Z. And, most important OF all, have
you made your boys work lighter by
getting him improved implements in
stead of the labor wasting old fashion
ed kind? The Western farm boy rides
while cultiyating two sides of the row
at once. Has your boy walked labo-
lriously to cultivate one side at the
time taking the same time to do half
the work. and the work much harder
at that?
Win your boy away from the idea OF
going off to town TO be somebody's
clerk Make him yonr partner, and
get him heart and soul interested in
farm work. The idle boy of the cities
is the peril of our civilization, and the
working. healthy farm boy is the hope
of America. If you get your boy inter-
Iested in better farming, better stock,
land better, labor saving machinery,
life will take on new interest and farm
work a new zest.

LIQUIDATION THE REMEDY,

A valued correspondent, himself
man of wide travel and thoughtful
observation, writes us in a private
letter concerning the failure of the
Feliciana Bank and Trust Compa
ny, using the following words, preg'
nant with meaning: This particu-
lar failure may not do the parish as
much harm as at first appears. The
money has undoubtedly been lost
and the bank is practically insolyent
for years, just as are a great many
other institutions and individuals
here, and no one, in an insolvent
condition, can ever start upward ex-
cept from the point of liquidation.
The greatest drawback and the great
est menace to the South today is it's
stubborn refusal to liQuidate in the
face of the conditions"
These are not pleasant reflections
but truth is often bitter to the pal
ate. 1t is also human nature not
to take medicine until forced to, and
not willingly then. Hence liquidation
by process of law is pill that is
distasteful to every one. Many a
man would rather go about with
debts hanging as heavily upon his
neck, as any Old Man of the Sea, then
accept the obvious plan of shaking
off the incubus. The spirit OF the
gambler or of the unthinking Mi
cawber, waiting to have something
/ better turn up and miraculously re
lieve him of his troubles, is very
general.
On the othe hand, some have hon
estly tried to make something turf
up, but have failed for reasons, like
the boil weevil, beyond their control
They did not try legal liquidation
Enforced liquidation, however, il
going to prove a stupendous hardship
to a great many deserving people
And it is to be hoped that the pow
ers that be will temper justice will
mercy, in order that the process ma
be attended with as little menta

Intervention May Be Necessary.

Philadelphia Record: Intervention
by the United States in Mexico is not
only favored by the powers, but rather
impatienly insisted upon by some Of
them. By Intervention they mean TAX
ing Sides, If this government will not
support Huerta and his faction, the
idea Is that it shoull support some
other man ior party. Practically, this
is what Intervention would amount to
however indefinitely it might be for
mulated into text. IF we will not
recognize any but constitutionally
elected president in Mexico, our prob
lem is to create the condition in which
that end can be reached. Political con.
ditions can be created only through the
fundamentally Of men; and we shall
have to lend support to men whom we
believe capable and willing to create
these conditions. It may be necessary
also to create the opportunity; and this
might mean armed intervention.

Vessel after vessel must have pass,

1t is much to be doubted if a single

Are the profits of an additional
trip, or in the increased profit from
specdier trip, worth this wreck and

There seems to be need on Lake

one that will heavily punish the own

which disregards storm signal.
Then, if the storm does not ma
terialize, nothing is lost save few

This is better than reckless disre.

ly vessel or human life need have

WEATHER REPORT

Taken as whole, the weather our
ing the past week has been fair and
the temperatures moderate for this sea
son Of the year. The highest tempera-
ture recorded was on the 18th when the
Weather Bureau reported 50 degrees,
and the coolest morning was that Of
last Friday when the thermometer reg
istered 10 degrees. There wasonly one
day with precipitation, the 18th, when
light rain and sleet were observed. The
precipitation amounted to OLA inch.
There was much cloudy weather during
the week. No high winds occurred. The
local weather Office has now forecast
unsettled weather for Friday with pos
sibly snow durries. Colder temperatures
will prevail Friday night.

"TAKING Chances ON THE
GREAT LAKES.

Rising from the murk of a great
storm that has strewn the lakes with
wrecks and has robbed humanity of
many useful lives, is grim question.
How many Of the vessles ta.S wrr"

port during the storm7
The storm set in Friday evening,
November 7, it continued Friday night
and most of Saturday. A lu!l Satur-
day afternoon was followed by a re-
newed outbreak of far mightier force
Saturday night, and the storm contin-
ued into Monday.
The greater part of the damage was
done Sunday and Monday.
The weather bureau posted storm
warnings all over the Great Lakes Fri
day morning. Storm warnings were
displayed from then until Monday, az
cept Saturday night. The usual Gus.
tom of the weather bureau and we as
sumo that it was followed in this case,
is to use every possible effort to get
these storm warnings to the vesse!
masters. They are sent to the newspa.
pers,to the tug owners and sent to the
boats atsea that are equipped with
wireless.
It Is doubtful If there was single
vessel afoat during that terrible storm
that had not had full warning Of the
danger that awaited it in the open
lake.
Why, then, were these vessels out OF
port and in perili
Because the custom on the Great
Lakes is to take chances, so that trips
may be completed as rapidly as pos
sible and that az many trips as pos
sible may be made in season.
The fault is not that Of the vesse
cxptains. The blame lies with the
owners, who expect results from theil
captains, who criticise harshly if the,
is delay and who in this nanne!
crowd these vessels out of safety into
peril.
They got results this time-in the
loss of many lives and many vessels.
The record is full Of damning evi
dence.
