too far in debt. Extra taxes come as a
hardship On poor man and don't help
him any when they are put up for build
ing roads. l am not assessed with much,
but l do own my home and eighty acres
of land, which is half my brother home
steaded, and two good mules, mare and
colt, twelve head of cattle, twirty eight
head of hogs, chickens in plenty, fine
pen of turkeys, etc. That isn't so much,
but l am getting what might be consid-
cred a good start and, barring the bur-
den of extra taxes now talked about,
haven't anything to complain about. l
want to ask Mr.. Doran if good roads will
make my herd of cattle increase any
faster, keep my mules and mare fat, or
keep my hogs from dying with the
cholera? Or maybe he thinks could
grow more corn or cotton to the acre if l
had gravel road running by my place?
These are the things that concern a
farmer. We don't want to run market
gerdens, diaries, etc., and as for getting
to town, I can always make it there and
back home again in two days when the
roads can be travelled by anybody else,
and live good twenty EIGHT or thirty
miles from the bridge.
Before closing want to tell him that
the kind of mule or horse that pulls best,
level road or up hill, is a fat one. keep
my team in good condition and they GO
right along with two bales of cotton,
sometimes three, up hill and down hill.
The roads we have are good enough, and
they don't cost us nothing extra, and
that's the biggest drawing card about
the thing. Respectfully, FARMER

Thinks Our Roads Good Enough.

Dear Mr.. Editor: If you are fair to
both sides in this matter of the agita-
ton of good roads and the voting of
extra taxes to keep them up, you will
allow me space to state my views, which
l must admit here in the start do not
tally with all you and the contributors to
to the Banner have suggested.
You go on boosting for good roads
when as a matter Of fact we already have
them. Our roads as now found running
all over the parish are good enough for
anybody, and you know it. They are
only dirt roads, but a wagon with load
can always get over them. Mr.. Doran,
writing in your paper last week, says a
road is no better than its worst part, and
thinks we fellows unload when we get to
hill or mud hole. We don't do this,
and l never did, and take two bales OF
cotton (if have the cotton) to Shreve-
port every time l go. Then again, we
neighbors always go in a bunch and if
one wagon gets stalled there are 1nenos
near at hand with good teams to pull
| it out.
He also thinks we would be more So
ciable with our neighbors if we had the
kind of roads he wants. Well, there is
some mistake about that, for have been
living in Bossier Parish near on to all
my life-was born here-and have never
heard of more neighborly or friendly
set of people anywhere. We visit all we
can on rainy days, on Sundays, etc., and
if Mr.. Doran lived in our parts he would
notice it. As for the educational ano
esthetic value of roads, that's all in his
mind. Those are things that will mainly
take care of themselves. We have got {
plenty of schools now.
Good roads, or better roads than w
have now, can't be had without going

BISHOP HOPES
TEACHERS WILL
CATCH TARTARS
Catholic Bishop Hopes to Start
Industrial Schools
in China
TO TEACH WILD MEN
HOW TO DO WORK
AristOcratic Class, Long Unused
to Labor, Now Faces
Starvation

NEW YORK-Mgr. Modesto Eyaerts
bishop of Catholic diocese in China,
is starting here a quest for teachers
and supplies for Industrial schools
which he believes TO be the hope OF
the republic. He will journey from
here by easy stages 10 San Francisco.
AS one of the eleven Franciscan
bishops OF China he is the tituar head
of a diocese in the central portion CT
the republic. having jurisdiction over
sixteen thousand Roman Catholics
among a population OF 10 million ma
tives He says IL would take four
years steady travel TO visit every
town in his diocese by the only means
of locomotion available.
The Chinese hatred of the Tartars
has had such full swing since the re-
cent revolution that Bishop Evaerts,
beloved as he Is, dares no longer TO
wear his Tartar robes. He tells OF
the conversion of whole city OF Tar
tars and how five thousand members
of this aristocratic congregation came
TO him bringing their idols In clothes
baskets 10 have their heads knocked
Off
The Tartars have so long been ac-
customed to the leisure OF the arts
tocracy that they won't work, accord
ing TO Bishop Evaerts, and since the
revolution they have been so gener-
ally ostracized by the Chinese that
they are now practically starving. In
the industrial schools the bishop sees
hope of some day making them self
supporting.
AS early as 1920, at least, oysters
were grown by artificial means in ia
pan, and long before the descendants
OF the Mayflower pilgrims had reallz-
ed the desirability for oyster culture
the Japanese had grasped the situa'
ton and provided for an enlightened
administration and utilization of oys'
ter grounds.
Twenty years ago there were about
nine thousand telephone stations in
New York. served by seven central
Offices in Manhattan and one in the

there are in Manhattan and the Bronx
alone more than 100000 stations.
