Has Known Love.

Every home is for two primarily.
Every burden, every humiliation.
Every joy that comes to a home was
meant to be divided by two, The sor.
row is too great to bear, the humili-
alton too bitter to endure, and the
joy loses half its flavor when expo
rienCed by only one. When the chill
dren have grown and have left the
nest, one could not ask a greater boon
of life than that the original two be
left together 10 live life over again in
mutual memories.
The woman who wrote this letter
has mourned her husband seven
years. l contend that is six years too
long. She would have shown no dis
respect to his memory had she mar
ried again long before this, and. on
the contrary, would have paid him
the compliment of having so thor
oughly enjoyed her experience as Z
wife she was not afraid to repeat it.
She has known love, and learned
that the price a woman must pay IN
greater responsibilities and self sac
riflce is not too great for value re-
ceived. She would pay the price
again, and pay it in a happiness she
has not known in seven years.
It is the natural WOman's instinct
to want mate and the woman who
denies it is unnatural Either she is

~ NE who has lived and lost-who
has tasted the joy of married
life and known the desolation
Of bereavement-write me:
do you think it wrong for a wom-
an to wish to marry again? I loved
my husband dearly and mourned his
death, but now, after nearly seven
years, l feel the need of a mans
presence. But, unfortunately, l see
few men, and can not make advances.
Il do not long for wealth-only
enough TO get along comfortably. I
am not unattractive, and l love home
life, but the loneliness of trying to
make a home for only one is ap-
palling. Would it be wrong to my
husband to marry again."
One can not live with the dead, and
the Greatest of all authority says:
Let the dead bury their dead"
One turns from grave inConsola-
BILE, sure that the sting of bereave-
ment will always remain-that the
sun VIII never shine again-that one
has known laughter and joy for the
last time.
But the days come and go, cud
each one brings it's little quota ef
forgetfulness. New interests arise,
hope springs up again, tomorrow
begins to look less dreary, and very,
very soon those who had wished they
could stay in the cemetery with the
one who went before are realizing
that life is dear and sweet, and there
is much left to live for
The most selfish person in the
world is the one who hangs over
a grave for life. Ii is an attitude
which says: Respect my sorrow
Others may have had sorrow. but no
one has known sorrow like unto this"
and it is an attitude more often taken
by woman than by men

harder than the head A man makes
this discovery sooner than a woman,
and soon desists. A woman will go
on beating her head with dull, mo-
nOtonous tom-tom of protest to the
end Of her days.
The futility of mourning is not the
only argument against its encourage
ment There is the further argument
that every uattached person in time
becomes a problem to his or to her
relatives. And this is in a measure
true no matter what the financial
condition of the one left alone
A lover of lovers discovered in
happy rhyme that this world is built
for two; the little swings hold only
two, there is room in the little boat

gone further into natures plan, he
would have learned that this world is

"NO Paw, No PaDer,"

In substance that is what Uncle Sans
postal regulations say. In other words,
publisher is only permitted to use the
mails to forward his paper, or other
publication, to bona tide subscribers.
In the event the regulation is violated
the post Office authorities bar the pub
Usher from circulating his publication
at newspaper rates. That would just
about take his living away from him,
wouldn't it?
M The Government holds that the
subscriber of weekly newspaper who
is twelve months in arrears is not bona
fde subscriber. Then it must be very
clear to all that we cannot grant credit
on subscription for term in excess OF
twelve months. This much we are will
ling to do for any reputable citizen who
is a resident of Bossier or any of its
adjoining parishes.

young man is son OF Mrs. Mary Burks
and nephew of Mr.. Luther M. Burks
of Rocky Mount, and the young lady Of
his choice daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Gleason. One feature of this union
that will make it out of the ordinary is
that two sets of twins will be repre-
sented. Mr.. Burks will lease a place
near his present home and begin house
keeping Immediately following his mar
riage. In advance of the date we wish
to extend our well wishes. May you live

Local Notes
Happenings of Week Briefly
~ Told by the Office Reporter

Mr.. Tom Gardner of Bolinger came in
Yesterday and renewed his subscription.
The weather has been almost too cold
this week to set type at all. That ex-
plains why we are late.
We learned yesterday of the illness
from typhoid fever Of two of Mr.. Ash
ford Winham's children, though one was
said to be convalescing. His home is
some miles north of Plain Dealing.
The cottage on the Linwood planta-
ton occupied by Mr.. S. w. Hart and
family was destroyed by fire one day the
latter part of last week. About every
thing in the building was total loss.
4 Mr.. lack Gardner of near Plain Deal
ing recently killed in the woods one Of
his barrows that weighed $50 pounds
when dressed. He was four or five years
old and had never been penned or fed.
This again illustrates what fine range
our woods furnish for hogs.
The weather this week has been ex-
cessively cold, and damp. The spell de-
veloped Monday night and did not break
until this evening. Tuesday morning
there was a trace of snow and all day
everything out doors was covered with
ice. The coolest temperature registered
was about fifteen degrees below the
freezing point.
We are told that Mr.. T. S. Young,
who resides in the northwestern portion
Of the parish, recently sold to Plain
Dealing buyer eight hogs for 6 cents
/ per pound, gross weight, realizing
eighty odd dollars. This was good
sale when it is taken into consideration
that the hogs grew to maturity and fat
tened in the woods.
Sentell's Caddo Parish plantation, we
we're shown an extra fine registered two
year-old Red Polled bull, weighing
about 1900 pounds. We also had. the
pleasure of a near view of his big black
Pereheron stallion, the one that out
classed any of his type exhibited at the
State Fair. Though only three years
old he is the winner of several ribbons
He is immense, his weight being about
le00 pounds. A little later in the season
Mr.. Sentell will bring him over to his
Willow Bend plantation Con this side o.

manently. Our friend also has Angors

plantations and, so far as we are in
formed, is making a success Of his every

Hog Cholera Serum.

The following clipping is from the
University Press News, published once
each month at Baton Rouge by the De-
partment of Agricultural Extension of
the Louisiana State University:
Hog cholera is spreading and increas-
ing its ravages in the State and this
despite the distribution Of large quanti-
ties of serum by the Live Stock SAM
tary Board and instructive literature
sent out by the same body.
The increase of the disease is due in
large part to the negligence of those
who own infected herds. To eradicate it
it is absolutely essential to observe san
itary precautions. In the main these are:
Separation of the we'll and sick hogs.
The burying four feet under ground
OF all carcasses; better, the burning of
these.
Precautions to prevent the spread by
dogs, buzzards, water in running
streams, or by persons going from a
sick herd into lot where we'll animals
are kept.
To follow out the sanitary recon-
mendations of the board is as necessary
as the use Of the surum,
1t may become necessary, II the swine
breeders of the State do not comply with
the sanitary regulations, to restrict the
giving of serum to those who will follow
the rules laid down by the Live Stock
Board.
The manufacture OF hog cholera
serum, according to the method of the
United States Department OF Agricult.
ure, was begun under the supervision Of
the Louisiana Live Stock Sanitary
Board during 1910.
The results obtained from the use Of
the serum when given in time and under
proper sanitary conditions have beer
gratifying. Heretofore, with inadequate
appropriations, the board has been un-
able to satisfy the demands, but an in
crease in the funds available has made
it possible to enlarge the manufacturing
capacity. For the first time in its his.
tory the board has a reserve of 95U
doses Of tested serum, which can be OBJ
tanned by any person who is losing hog
from this disease.
1t is the policy of the board to sent
one Of its men where an outbreak occurs
if the services of such man are de-
sired. However, veterinarian can b.
employed to do the work, provided on
resides near enough for his services t.
be procured. When the board sends on
of its men no charge is made for hi
services, but necessary travelling ex
penses and charge of IA cents pc
cubic centimeter must be met by tn
owner Of the diseased hogs. In making
requests for serum the total approximat
weight of the herd should be given
Twenty cubic centimeters Of serum ar
required for each hundred pounds Q
hogs.
All communications for serum shout
be addressed to the Secretary of tn
Louisiana State Live Stock Sanitar
Board, Baton Rouge, La.

Two Thousand Students.

We have just been Informed that the
slogan of the Tyler Commercial College
of Tyler, Texas, for 1913 is "Two Thou
sand Students" Its record for 1912 so
far passed the fifteen hundred mark that
it is now determined to make record of
two thousand enrolment in 1918.
You may take the EDITORS word for it
that our young people could not do
better than to spend from $50 to $500 for
board, tuition and books, completing a
course of shorthand, bookkeeping or
telegraghy in this famous institution, or
better still, spend about $175 for two of
these courses. What young person can
place hundred or two hundred dollars
and three or five months time to a bet
ter advantage than to invest it in a
thorough business training that will
bless the remaining years of his bust
ness life? Young people in this COM
munity, who few years ago borrowed
the money to attend this institution, are
to-day out OF debt and on the road to
success as result of having the courage
and determination to make an effort to
do something, to be somebody, and add
further proof to the old saying, "Where
there is will there is way" There is
plenty doing for those who are pre-
pared. Be ambitious. Be one of the
two thousand to enter this famous in
stitution during 1918 that you may go
into good salaried position or into a
business of your own with some as
surance of success.
No institution could attain such a
wonderful enrolment and lead all other
American misunderstanding schools
unless it merited it. Itcosts no more to
attend the best school, with a nation
wide reputation, than it does the next
best.
Write to-day for free catalogue. They
will glavly send you one. [adu.

writes as follows, by way of correcting
an impression we have given the public:
Editor Bosser Banner.
Dear SIR: In giving you remedy for
hog cnolera l did not state the kind OF
coal and note you think it charcoal. 1t
should be bituminous, or soft coal, such
as is burned in locomotives. 1t should
be broken into small Jumps so hog can
eat it. READER.
