An III Wind.

Kansas. Nebraska and other parts
of the iehAaorthWest Whencs-comes
So much of the corn and the live
stock OF the country, are suffering
the most fearful drouth since 1887.
Corn production is going down and
live stock is being rushed to mar
ket to avoid death from lack Of wa
ter and grass, and to save the pro-
hibitive cost Of feeding.
All Of which means higher prices
and keener demand for corn in the
autumn and winter, higher prices
and a quickened demand for live
stock not only in the autumn, but
throughout the winter and next year,
when the sale Of the parent stock
will be sadly felt.
So the i'll wind elsewhere will
blow profit to the people of Lou
isiana and Mississippi if only they
will take itas it comes.
They should save all the stock
they can save, conserve all the corn
they can conserve, making their
green forage and pasture last until
the final possible moment. There is
really no better corn country than
that of Louisiana and Mississippi,
when the corn is properly handled.
There is really no better live stock
country, when the live stock is right
ly tended.
Corn and live stock offer splendid
opportunity in the lower south for
the next eighteen months, certainly,
as result OF the drouth in the
orthwest.-NeW Orleans Item.

Looking for Substitute for SUGAR,

It is evident that the government
realizes the new tariff law will de-
stroy the Louisiana sugar industry, for
the secretary of agriculture invited
Dean w. R. Dodson, of the agricuI-
tural college of the Louisiana State
University. to confer with the ex-
perts of the department with a view
to finding some substitute for sugar.
A hundred years ago indigo was Lou
lslana's principal agricultural crop,
and it was superseded by sugar. The
destruction OF the indigo industry was
brought about by natural causes
growing out of economic conditions
1t viii be a remarkable passage that
the future historian shall write of
the determination of the once-flour.
lshing sugar industry by deliberate
act Of hostile legislation.-Country

Gasoline.


Gasoline, George Fitch tells us,
was originally used only for clean
ing gloves and ejecting hired girls
through the kitchen roof, but has
now been taught great variety Of
interesting tricks, such as running
automobiles aeroplanes, motorboats,
Windmills, street cars, hearses, corn
shelters and bicycles.
By the aid of gasoline we can trav-
Ell so miles an hour through the air,
$50 miles an hour over the land and
six feet into the ground with the
greatest ease.
A gallon Of gasoline can do as
much work in an hour as a horse
can do in a day, and it doesn't have
to be fed and bedded down at night.
1t can drive an automobile 20 miles,
and while doing this can cause three
runaways, collision, 500 fine for
speeding, a divorce suit and an in
quest.
A gallon of whisky at a Saturday
night dance can cause a great deal
Of trouble, but it is tame and kit
tenish beside a gallon of whitewater
which is conducting a joy ride.
Gasoline is a clear, nervous liquid
which is composed of speed, noise
and trouble in equal parts. It is
made of kerosene reduced to a more
violent stage, and is kindly supplied
to the restless portion of mankind
by the fragments of the late Stand
ard Oil Company.
Why is It that the dead beat is SO
highly esteemed in some communi-
ties, even though he doesn't pay a
cent of the fare as he goes through
life? One Of the greatest mysteries
to us is how some folks get along
with their fellow men They never
pay debt, yet they seem flush and
prosperous, picking the fairest flow
ers as they pass along the highway
of life and in many instances, look
ed up to and admired by syco-
phantic public. Sometimes it appears
our old adages about honesty get.

NO JAPANESE CRISIS.

Andrew Carnegie, in discussing the
situation that has arisen over the act
of California in passing an anti-alie
land law that does not meet the APP
proval of the japanese, does not con-
cede the existence of a 'crisis'' in
the relations of the United States and
Japan. On the contrary he calls atten-
tion to the fact that this country is
more liberal than any other in dealing
with the Japanese. In support of this
assertion he cites the exclusion laws of
New Zealand, Australia, Canada and
British Columbia. No Japanese or
Chinese can enter Australia or New
Zealand, and Canada and British
Columbia have laws against their
entry Great Britain is an ally of
Japan, and the Japs are intelligent
and reasonable enough to see that
what their ally cannot give them they
nave no right to expect from us. II

that the present administration will
show that our terms are liberal be-
yond those of any other English speak

Land from his parents home in South

aged six years, three months and
eighteen days. Little Hayes was a
victim of that dread disease, spinal
meningitis. He was an only son, a
bright and CHEEKY little fellow, much
beloved by all who knew him. He
had previously had an attack of the
same illness, which undoubtedly had
weakened his vitality. and rendered
the skilful efforts of physicians,
futile, and made all unavailing the
ministries of loving hands. With
the heart broken parents there bitter

and Mabel. The family have rela.

county, who sincerely sympathize
with them in their sore hour Of
trouble. 1t is all our human love
can do. The tear of sympathy, the
warm hand clasp, the gentle deeds of
kindness and the loving words can
only assuage the sorrow when death
has plucked from happy home so
sweet a flower. But a Savior, so
